"What's going on at the camp?"
"The camp is on fire! It would be great if those hateful human soldiers were all burned to death!"
At that moment, someone in the crowd suddenly rushed to the river and pushed a soldier into the river. He then grabbed the sword of the captain of the guards with his other hand and stabbed him in the throat. More people reacted and dragged the supervisor next to them to the ground. A large number of orc slaves rushed up and fought fiercely with the soldiers.
If it had been an ordinary slave who had not undergone formal military training, it would have been difficult for them to organize an effective resistance in a short period of time. They would have been instantly defeated by the well-trained regular army. After the leader was beheaded, the rebellion would have been quickly suppressed.
But this time, they didn't understand. The person who started the rebellion had a plan and a premeditated plan. The leader led a large number of soldiers and easily killed several well-trained soldiers. Even the knights with bloodline abilities were killed by him.
"Kill them! We don't want to be slaves!"
"For freedom!"
"Kill them! Avenge our brothers and sisters!"
Jorkins looked at the Orc who was standing on top and raising his sword. He picked up the stone from the head of a middle-aged man, whose head had been smashed, and blood splattered all over Jorkins' face. At this moment, Jorkins thought of his dead father and younger brother, and tears welled up in his eyes as he roared angrily along with Jorkins.
The roar of the beast pierced through the clouds and instantly ignited the anger and hatred in everyone's hearts. Years of resentment and fear were released from their chests. Countless orcs roared along with him.
Chaos quickly spread from this point to the surrounding areas. Soon, the rebellion spread to the entire area covered by the orc slaves. Thousands of orc slaves killed the human guards, broke up the army, and robbed their weapons.
The entire canal project area instantly went out of control. Tens of thousands of Beastman slaves rushed out of the river and pounced on the barracks. They killed the soldiers stationed there and took their weapons to arm themselves. At the same time, under the leadership of a few Beastman leaders, they headed towards the other sections of the canal. There, they would capture even more Beastman slaves.
It could be expected that this slave rebellion would cause a sensation throughout the Crete Empire. The rebellion of hundreds of thousands of orc slaves was like a spark that would start a prairie fire. It would bring carnage to the Crete Empire, which had been peaceful for hundreds of years.
The capital of the Crete Empire.
It was drizzling in the city of Kania, and a fierce argument was taking place in the palace. Aaron, the envoy of the Holy Seville Empire, had reached an agreement with the Crete Empire on border trade regulations and a series of appropriate cooperation. However, he had failed in the area of orc slaves.
Aaron had brought a personal letter from the Lion King, Emperor Will of the Holy Seville Empire. He had delivered it to Emperor Zolman II of the Crete Empire, explaining that Emperor Will hoped that the Crete Empire would abolish the Orc Slave Act and give them corresponding rights. Otherwise, the Holy Seville Empire could accept these orc slaves at a suitable price and return them to the orc kingdom.
At the same time, however, Emperor Will hoped that the Crete Empire and the Holy Seville Empire would crack down on the slave trade between them. Only by doing so could the equality between the humans and the orcs be maintained, as well as the various regulations between the two countries.
However, this request was strongly opposed by the nobles of the Crete Empire, especially the prime minister, Duke Tembor. He immediately said that he could agree to any other condition, but this one was absolutely impossible.
The canal of the Crete Empire had been under construction for three years, and the benefits involved involved many people. This was especially so because this project was led by Prime Minister Tembor. Prime Minister Tembor had received the support of a large number of nobles and upper-class citizens because of this initiative.
If the Beastman Slave Act was abolished, it would be a severe blow to the authority of the Prime Minister, Duke Tembor. Tembor absolutely couldn't let this happen, so Allen's proposal was met with severe opposition.
Aaron stood in the center of the hall. The long tables on both sides were filled with the nobles of the Crete Empire. On the throne was Emperor Zolman II of the Crete Empire. However, at this moment, he was sitting there like a statue. In other words, he was more than happy to watch the dispute between Prime Minister Tembor and Aaron, rather than the friendly and harmonious scene from before. At this moment, Emperor Zolman II had been completely overthrown by Duke Tembor.
Aaron also understood that the one who was really standing on the stage was Duke Tembor, who was arguing with Aaron with a cold face.
The nobles on both sides whispered to each other. Aaron excitedly pointed to Prime Minister Tembor and said, "I am sorry, Duke, but this is necessary. This is the premise of the Crete Empire's cooperation with us. We must ensure that every orc can receive fair and just treatment in the Crete Empire."
"From your Orc Slave Act, I do not see anything like this. You degrade the orcs as slaves and treat them as goods. Within the Crete Empire, there are measures and actions that discriminate against the orcs. Only by standing in a fair and just position can we maintain our cooperation."
Duke Tembor completely tore off his hypocrisy and arrogantly took the letter written by Emperor Will. He tore it up in front of everyone and threw it on the ground. "I am sorry, but I do not think you have recognized the reality."
Duke Tembor turned to look around and spread his hands. "Humans are the masters of this land. You Beastmen are just some barbarians at the border, a weak race. You are not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as us!"
Duke Tembor looked at Aaron and said, "Have you forgotten how our cavalry crossed the Red River Plains and destroyed the Kingdom of Menkaure decades ago? The fire in the capital of Menkaure burned for three days and three nights. We galloped under the land of the orcs, while you cowered like pigs.
The weak do not deserve to talk about equality with us. We originally gave you enough dignity to show the magnanimity and tolerance of the Crete Empire. I did not expect you to take an inch and take a mile. Go back and tell your emperor that I hope he can see the reality. "
After Duke Tembor finished speaking, the nobles on both sides suddenly burst into laughter. They looked at Aaron as if he was a clown.
"Orcs, how dare you raise conditions with us!"
"Yes, we have given them enough dignity. I did not expect these beasts to be so ignorant!"
"If they annoy us, we will attack the orc kingdom together. Holy Seville Empire, I want them to know the power of humans!"
