One month later, there were no twists and turns, and the military training for these "preparatory apprentices" ended.

The young orcs who were captives stayed here, maybe some of them had other ideas, but when the instructors asked, all of them answered very firmly.And then something else was added to their tiny duties, so that each of them would have something to do every hour, no time to stop and stare at his fellow humans who were entrusted with more things.In fact, during this period of time, they didn't spend much time with the human students who came here together. go", and almost every orc boy knew what they were going to do.

Enviable, yet natural.

But the promises given to them by the instructors made all the teenagers very excited. During this period, if they did not make any mistakes—the original words were "satisfactory", but they thought they could not understand human language well—then When they return to the barracks, they will have the opportunity to see those terrifying weapons, or even touch them.

And before the end, they have one more thing to prepare, and that is "acceptance".

The content of human training of orcs caused complaints from tribal orcs, especially those adult orcs who were allowed to stay and were forced to undergo the same kind of training. They thought that even if they were allowed to carry stones like slaves, it would not be worse than this. torture.The tribe's children were not too affected by them, because their residence was quite a distance from the apprentice's dormitory, and the humans and werewolves made them suffer so much that they could only visit it every day before meals.Compared with disgruntled adults, children adapt much faster, especially after several lessons: being named for fighting, "vandalism" and "influencing others", admitting mistakes loudly in front of everyone, and going to the cafeteria to wipe the floor, etc. After waiting, everyone seemed obedient.

To be honest, although human beings seem inexplicable and harsh, they have no malice towards them. Now that the weather is hot, it is quite hard to train under the sun every day, but human beings never make them unbearable.They get enough rest every day, they can sleep in the middle of the day, and they can sleep in the evening (but not at all if they refuse to get up after ringing the bell), and the food is the best!No matter how much they eat because of hunger or gluttony, there is never enough food in the cafeteria. Even the water they drink has taste, which is salty during training and sweet at other times.Many orcs find that their coats are much better.They also gained other things. In addition to the orcs who are called "observers" by humans in various tribes, those adult humans will also patrol the places where the teenagers live every day. Send them something nice.

Circles of small iron rings, transparent beautiful beads, everyone has a share, with colors and patterns, pieces of wood that can be put together (this is for the entire dormitory), round wood that can be whipped and turned with a straw rope... Humans taught them how to play, and the head of the house gave everyone a straw bag that could hold gadgets. It was made by the orc girls who received the same training on the other side, and they got more good things because of it—sharp Needle, thread, and brightly colored rope.They are taught to play with more things, because they are more obedient, just like the tribal teams who get the toys first are always those who are scolded less, and they must be envied by others and make fewer mistakes. They're the same, but the ones that were previously rewarded get new ones.

I heard that the girl has already started to learn to read?

When they got the news that the training was about to end, some teenagers were even reluctant. Who knew if they could become apprentices, and would humans be willing to bribe them like this?The only ones who are happy are probably the adults, because they have no other benefits besides hard work, and they can't snatch the children's things.Then the humans who lived with them said to them, "It's time to see what they can do"-let them, the adult orcs and the cubs, come to a game or a few.

Human beings are stupid...

Almost all the orcs thought this way, and the teenagers and girls who were selected to participate in this confrontation were restless, because if the adult orcs won, everything they got here would become the spoils of the adults. Common rules of gladiatorial fighting, but no one is willing, especially women who are not strong enough and have little combat experience.After confirming that human beings will never regret it, the adults are very happy, not because they are so greedy for the gadgets of the teenagers (although they only played a few times at most), but because they can finally prove that human beings have been able to use their strength during this period of time. What stupid thing did they do-not teaching skills, still dreaming, thinking that they can train warriors like this!They can't fight humans and werewolves directly, at least let the young people in their own tribe understand what is right, and don't get dizzy because of a little favor from humans.

You can hear the orcs' comments on this matter no matter where you are. Although you dare not directly offend, many of the words are obviously meant for humans, but the ears of humans seem to be closed, as if they have made this decision , they don't care what the orcs say.

The contest will begin one morning.Before this really important thing, there are some "ceremonies". Humans say that this is also one of the fruits they want to see. After getting up in the morning, put on some leather armor or bone armor, pick up a head wrapped A small piece of animal skin was also stained with white ash, and the adult orcs watched a rather daring parade afterwards.Originally, they should also be in the reviewing team, but firstly, they were already armed, and secondly, since they were dressed in orc fighting attire, the rules of human training fighters should not be applied to them for the time being.This irrefutable reason convinced the humans, and they asked the orcs to watch.

Even though they refused to go to the stage even if they died, and made a lot of small talk, when the parade started, all the orcs watched happily, after all...it was pretty good.

All the children were lined up according to their height, with the same number of people in each row and each vertical row, and the animal skin shorts and jackets that everyone wore were also the same. Viewed from the front and the side, they were all in order, just like Like rows of log fences.When you are in the queue, you will feel uncomfortable in various ways, but as long as you are separated by a certain distance, you can feel the strict aura inherent in these phalanxes.Although if you look closely at the expressions of those children, you will know that they are not used to it, and they don't like doing this kind of thing under the eyes of so many people.

Then the whistle blew.

The orcs made noises in unison, and when they moved, the instincts that had been scolded, whipped, and endlessly repeated training in this month appeared in them, and the phalanx pressed over.The selected boy holding the flag walked in front, the sharp whistle commanded the uniform footsteps, the dust was flying under the steps of hundreds of thousands of people, on this wide and flat training ground, the sound of slogans and the rumble of footsteps resounded together , even if there is language they are not used to in the slogan, no one slacks off, no one scorns, and no one laughs at some common jokes that appear during the process.

After they walked around and re-arranged into a phalanx, the humans praised the performance of the teenagers with their "big mouths", named the team that satisfied them the most, and then...

They were appointed to fight the adult orcs first.

The girls were stunned.

Yes girls.The team that went the best in these phalanxes, and made almost no mistakes, were all orc girls.Almost at the same time as the humans announced, they became chaotic, but soon, the human girl who led them calmed them down. When she and another companion walked back and forth in the array, comforting each other, The adult orcs on the audience side began to make noise, because the humans very firmly refused their request to change partners.

The orcs snarled in rage, and those smiles disappeared from the faces of the humans, who, along with their werewolf companions, watched them indifferently.The orcs slowly quieted down and looked at each other blankly.

They mean it.Not a single hair is fake.

Then humans threatened them again, if they don't fight well, they will be driven back in the name of being weak and afraid of fighting.And at this moment, for some reason, the two humans were agitating towards the orc girls, suddenly there was a burst of shouting, and a forest of fists raised up.Things have come to this point, struggling is useless, the orcs gritted their teeth and accepted the threat of humans.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the field.The two sides have already selected their own positions. On the flat ground without any obstacles, there are girls under the age of 15 on one side, and adult orcs in armor on the other. The only thing that is fair is weapons. The rule of Bai Hui's long stick is that whoever is hit by Bai Hui must admit defeat, and only the arms and calves are hit.This was the rule repeatedly explained to them by the training instructors and house leaders a few days ago. Before the battle started, both sides nodded to show that they understood.

The girls are still in the same phalanx, but each row has a wrong position.From the front, they seem to be all close together, leaving only a gap the size of a fist in the middle, while the adult orcs are standing in their usual posture, the girls are holding their breath, and the adults are moving their hands and feet, frowning and watching. they.Both sides are waiting.

The raised palms of the humans standing in the middle were tense, and they slashed down suddenly. The short whistle sounded at the same time made the hearts of both sides jump. The orcs roared suddenly, swung their sticks and rushed forward. The girl Her yelling was still clear amidst their roars, and she was yelling out the order everyone was familiar with: "First row, start, one, two, three, four—"

In just a few breaths, the figures of the orcs were already approaching, and the black-haired girl standing at the front of the line did not change her face, "Raise your hand, come out—"

She raised a spear-like stick with one hand, pointed forward, and at her side, the same long sticks were handed out at the same time, "Second row, let's go—" The girls in the first row stabbed Part of the round head of the orc's long stick was swept away by the orc's long stick, and part of it just touched the orc's chest and abdomen, and another row of long sticks stretched out from between them, and hit the orc's undiminished momentum heavily. A dozen orcs staggered back and even fell to the ground.

A burst of exclamation came from the phalanx and other places, and the first two rows of the phalanx of girls couldn't help but look forward—before they were all clenching their teeth, closing their eyes tightly, and holding their hands with long sticks It was so white that it didn't even open when it was knocked back by the force from the stick.The result in front of them was surprising, but their commander continued to order without stopping: "Third row, start to go—"

The girls in the third row crossed the first two rows. They no longer closed their eyes to reduce their fear, but took the initiative to slash their weapons at them——

The orcs were almost stunned. Just now, like a blink of an eye, like a dream, their people fell down in rows, and the phalanx of those weak girls was pressing towards them!

The fierce sense of shame immediately burned their brains, and the real anger was added to the battle cry. Even though the long stick had been poked hard on the body, the orcs still moved forward with strength, until they were grabbed by a strong force and rushed to the ground. The last throw—"Get out!" The black-haired girl roared, and turned her head abruptly, her short hair was flying in the wind, and with a horizontal stick in her hand, she stopped the other orc who was out of the game, and with a push, the other orc fell on his back, behind her The girls also yelled together, "Ha-ah-!!"

The orcs retreated step by step, they resisted the defense, they swung the long sticks that came to the nose in front of them, and the next stick came from the side, and more long sticks came from all directions, the attacks were dense like rain, it was inevitable, some people rolled When he reached the ground, they were almost stepped on by them all - it was the black-haired girl who dragged him out.Fighting skills are almost useless here, the girls have no skills, they start and move forward, stop and stick out until they cross the center line, no human orc can get past the dense forest of long sticks and approach any of them!

The whistle sounded for the end, and at the same time there was an order from both sides to stop. Everyone woke up like a dream, stopped the fighting sticks, and the two sides slowly separated.The orcs in the field were still panting with long sticks, with gray marks on their faces, and their eyes were panicked and confused. The girls looked at each other, and then at the black-haired girl standing in front of them all, who turned back to them A smile appeared.There was a moment of silence inside and outside the arena.

Everyone on the field was sweating profusely and breathing heavily, and everyone outside the field was dumbfounded and their hearts were beating endlessly.Of course, the astonishment and heartbeat definitely don't include those humans.

"My, my God..." a jackal youth stammered.

The jackal companion beside him and another fox youth who was holding a child took a look at him, and their expressions were quite calm.

"As expected." Said the fox youth.

"But it's really powerful," said his friend Apra.

Looking back at the field, the winner is of course rejoicing. If it weren't for the black-haired girl's status among them, there is no one who can surpass them. They will definitely rush forward, thank her, worship her, and say no Even her crisp short hair can be pulled out without a single hair left.After regrouping, they stayed where they were and clenched their fists, smiling as they watched the black-haired girl take a box from the human instructor—the kind of box that they knew was a good thing every time they saw them, and obeyed the password, all together Turning his head, facing everyone's eyes, he straightened his chest, and returned to their previous position vigorously.

The adult orcs were gathered together again, many of them were flushed, even though they turned their backs to the crowd, they were still very uncomfortable from all kinds of eyes from all over the place, and the humans held the sticks and said: "You chose short sticks, Their sticks are much longer than yours, so when they hit you, even if you straighten your hands, it's still hard to reach them. It's not fair to you."

His words immediately convinced the orcs.

"Why don't we do it again, let's change to something more like a real battle." The human instructor said, "These three lengths of sticks represent sharp weapons. You can choose one or all three. Bows and arrows with this kind of blunt tip are all good and powerful. Let's appoint a bunch of kids, and they... well, there will be a few trebuchets, yes, things that can throw stones, but of course not here Real stones, ash wrapped in flimsy things like 'papyrus', can't really hurt... Ah, I know you're not afraid, no one doubts your courage, you just need to - show real the power of."

A small cheer came from a distance, it was the girls who had received their rewards, and each of them had received the iron badge that meant formal apprenticeship.

"Okay," said the human instructor, "after the selection is made, let's start."

The orcs walked towards the field again, and the human instructor looked at them from behind, with a smile on his face... that could hardly be called goodwill.
