Half an hour after leaving Harvest City, Abel and Master Bentham were exchanging their forging experiences. In fact, it was mostly Master Bentham who was guiding Abel. Abel had only been learning forging for a short time. Even though he was a fast learner and had already become a master, he was still far behind Master Bentham in terms of experience.
As they were chatting, Abel suddenly felt the carriage stop. He couldn't help but lift the curtain and ask, "What's wrong?"
The coachman said in a shocked voice, "There's something wrong with the village up ahead. Something seems to have happened."
Abel said to Master Bentham, "Master, you stay in the carriage. I'll go take a look."
Bentham smiled, "I'm also a fifth-level warrior. Don't worry about me."
Abel was very skeptical about Bentham's fighting ability. Even a knight like Marshall had to practice every day to maintain and improve his fighting ability. But Master Bentham? Ever since Abel met him, he had never seen him practice martial arts.
But Abel didn't insist. He came out of the carriage with Master Bentham and saw black smoke rising from the village in the distance.
"I'll go take a look." Abel turned around and took out the ice magic sword he made in Blacksmith's Guild. It wasn't decorated yet, so it looked ugly. But that didn't affect its defensive ability.
"Be careful," Master Bentham said.
Abel waved his hand, indicating that he understood. He then walked towards the village.
The closer he got to the village, the more Abel felt that something was wrong. It wasn't just a small fire, it was the whole village.
When he got closer to the village, the scene in front of Abel shocked him. The ground was littered with the corpses of the villagers. Some of the corpses seemed to have been torn apart by animals.
What was even more horrifying was that Abel also saw many children's corpses. The corpses of adults and children were scattered in every corner of the village. It was obvious that this was an unequal massacre. It was an organized massacre when one side had the absolute advantage. In Abel's knowledge of the history of this world, there were very few cases of civilians being massacred like this, even if it was an invasion by other countries.
Abel walked around the village. There were no survivors. It seemed that the killers were very experienced. Or maybe they had some special methods. All the places where people were hiding were broken open, and the people inside were killed.
Abel had never felt so depressed before. Although this was not the territory of his family Knight, as a human, he still felt a sense of sadness.
When he came to this world, he saw a peaceful scene. Even when he was attacked, he thought it was just the same as the original world. There were always people who committed crimes. Today, for the first time, he saw a scene that shocked him. This world was not as peaceful as he thought. A village near his home was massacred. What if it was his family? What if it was Family Bennett?
"God, what's this?" Master Bentham saw that Abel hadn't come back for a long time. He was worried, so he came over. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was also shocked.
Master Bentham walked up to the corpses and carefully observed the bitten corpses. He said to Abel with a serious face, "It's the orcs. The orcs did this."
Master Bentham pointed to the wounds on the corpses and said, "This is the bite mark of a mount wolf. There was a wolf rider here."
Wolf riders were the main military force of the Orc Empire. They were made up of worgens and mount wolves. The wolf riders were very mobile. They were fast and agile, making them one of the best riders in the continent. The mount wolves of the wolf riders could adapt to the harsh environment. During continuous battles, they could continue to fight by eating their enemies.
"Quickly go back and inform the Knight Marshall!" Master Bentham thought about the wolf riders. With the speed of the wolf riders, all the nearby villages and castles would be in danger.
Abel and Master Bentham quickly returned to the carriage. The coachman drove the carriage at full speed and rushed towards Harry castle.
… …
Simon was a worgen. To be exact, he was a wolf rider. His partner was a female mount wolf named Black Wind.
Simon's family was located on a barren plain. His family had 200 acres of land. He had 9 brothers and sisters, and he was the second oldest. The food produced from 200 acres of land could not satisfy the needs of his family. Simon had the potential to become a wolf rider, so his parents gave him a large amount of resources. Finally, he became a wolf rider. However, the rest of his brothers and sisters in the family could not fill their stomachs.
In order to give his family enough land, Simon decided to participate in the death trial. In the past, every warrior who came back from the death trial would be rewarded with land. Also, the warriors who came back were all full of gold coins and gems. Just the gold coins and gems they brought back were enough to buy a lot of land.
Simon tried his best not to think about how many people came back alive from the death trial every year. He just hoped that he was one of them.
Simon felt very unlucky. One night before they passed through the Budapest Mountains, he put his partner Black Wind in the military camp's stable. There were a lot of mount wolves in the stable at that time. He did not know which male mount wolf was in heat that night.
After they passed through the Budapest Mountains on a flying beast, a team of 10 wolf riders set off together. Everything went smoothly after that. They avoided towns and only attacked small villages. Although they did not get much, the continuous victories made Simon very confident about this trial.
Until one day, Simon found out that his mount wolf was pregnant. Mount wolves were extremely loyal creatures. Their loyalty to their master was unparalleled among all mounts. Only when a mount wolf was born, the first creature it saw would it become its master.
Originally, a mount wolf being pregnant was a very happy thing. Whether it was to recognize his brother as its master or to give away this power in exchange for a large amount of resources, it was an extremely beautiful thing.
But this was the human world. Simon would always fight here. The pregnancy of a mount wolf would greatly affect Simon's strength. In the previous village attack, although they did not encounter any resistance, the overly violent movement made Black Wind pregnant. It could no longer keep up with the team's movements. The other wolf riders in the team were also not willing to put themselves in danger for Simon. The main reason why these teams could attack everywhere in the human world was their speed. The speed of the wolf riders was the key to whether they could survive or not.
Simon stayed behind to accompany his mount wolf Black Wind. He did not dare to enter the open land. He could only hide in the forest and wait for West Wind to give birth.
Simon hunted in the forest every day. Every time he hunted, the food he hunted was enough for Simon and Black Wind to eat their fill. He often thought, when would he be able to own a land like this. There was so much food that he could not finish eating. The richness of the human world attracted countless orcs like Simon to snatch it and occupy it.
