After passing through the red canyon, Zeba found that there were many hidden paths on the mountainside on both sides of the canyon. Many orc soldiers were lying in ambush on the paths. Zeba looked up and saw that all the orcs were looking at him, which made his back feel numb.
The long-toothed orc walked silently in front, seemingly defenseless. In his heart, he believed that an orc like Zeba would not do something like a sneak attack from behind. The orcs were a race with strong self-esteem and a sense of honor. They liked to fight, but they would not use methods that they despised to defeat their opponents. They would take pride in defeating their opponents fair and square.
This characteristic made the orc army suffer a lot in the war with humans and other demons, but at the same time, it was also one of the reasons why the orcs were strong. They were not afraid of death and were very fierce on the battlefield. Their momentum was very terrifying, so there were often battles where they won with fewer troops.
Zeba secretly looked at his shoulder. The caterpillar curled up behind the armor on his shoulder and did not leave. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and his nervous expression eased a lot. He then looked forward.
After passing through this long and dangerous canyon, what appeared in front of Zeba's eyes was not a paradise on earth, but a beautiful but desolate world. There were very few green plants in the red and white mountains. Looking from afar, the conical houses of the orcs were scattered, and wisps of green smoke were floating in the distance. For some reason, Zeba suddenly thought of his hometown.
This place was definitely not a place where the orcs were willing to live. The orcs living here were the remnants of the old Orc Emperor's army and those who were eliminated by the new policies of the Will Emperor. They were forced to flee their original homeland and hide in this place called Red Death Valley.
Walking on the sandy ground, under the scorching sun, the ground was very hot. The ground here could not even cover vegetation, let alone plant. Zeba, who only wanted to farm in peace, knew very well that the living environment here was very bad. He passed by a place similar to a farmland. There were not many green leaves on the crops in the field, and they looked dispirited.
He saw an orc wrapped in a headscarf carrying a small wooden bucket. He bent over and held a ladle smaller than his palm in his hand, watering the field.
Zeba suddenly stopped and opened his eyes wide. He saw the most shocking thing in his life. The orc was ladling some yellow water and carefully pouring it into the soil under the stems of the plants. He only poured a few drops on each plant, and the soil was not even wet.
"Is there a shortage of water here?"
It could not help but ask.
As an agricultural animal, it deeply understood how unbearable it was to not irrigate the land with water.
"Don't ask so many questions."
The long-toothed orc said in a low voice.
Ze Ba sighed and shook his head. Then, he left the strange field. Not only that, but it also saw that the giant cows and goats raised by the orcs were also skinny. There were no rivers or trees. It did not know how the orcs survived here.
Walking along a small path, a strange team was approaching. They looked like soldiers. They were all tall orcs, and they were fully armed. But the strange thing was that they were carrying a strong giant bull. The giant bull was carrying a huge wooden pole, and on both sides of the pole were huge wooden barrels.
Not only that, but there were also many wooden buckets hanging from the giant bull's body. Every orc also carried a large beastskin water bag on their back.
"Bru, what's wrong?"
At this moment, the leader of the orcs, a middle-aged orc with bone earrings on his ears, suddenly asked. He glanced at Ze Ba. His eyes were very scary, and he was exuding an aura that was not to be trifled with.
"There's an unexpected guest today. Do you know who it is?"
The long-toothed orc's name was Bru. He pointed at Ze Ba behind him.
Ze Ba became nervous.
"Who? I've never seen it before. Is it a newcomer? "
"I'm Ze Ba."
Ze Ba suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, the orcs were taken aback. They looked as though they had heard this name before, and then their eyes suddenly widened.
"Ze Ba? You're Will's lackey, the City Slayer, Ze Ba?! You have the same name as that guy? "
Ze Ba asked loudly. The orc's voice was like thunder, and it was very scary.
Bru, who was standing beside Ze Ba, did not speak. He glanced at Ze Ba, and Ze Ba replied, "No, I'm the lackey you're talking about."
Suddenly, the orc in front of Ze Ba bared his fangs, and the muscles on his body swelled. He immediately pulled out the iron sword at his waist.
"You're worse than an animal! I'll send you to hell! "
He swung his sword at Ze Ba's head. Ze Ba did not react at all. Suddenly, with a bang, a huge stone hammer appeared in front of him and blocked the sword.
"Bru! Why did you stop me! "
"Kahan! I can't touch him now. I have to bring him to see Bucko Snail! "Bru shouted.
"What? You want to bring this dangerous guy to see Bucko Snail? Did you betray him too? Okay! Then I'll kill you too! "
Kahan's eyes turned red as he glared at the long-toothed orc, Bru.
Bru looked at him with dark eyes.
"You don't believe me?"
"I don't believe him!"
The two of them spoke briefly. Ze Ba and the orc soldiers at the side looked nervous as they looked at the two of them.
Kahan thought for a while, and his eyes gradually returned to normal. His swollen muscles also shrank back and returned to their normal size.
"Perhaps the outside is already surrounded by Will's soldiers. He's just a cover. This is a trap!"
He glared at Ze Ba and said.
"The orcs wouldn't do such a despicable thing. Moreover, I've already investigated. There are only a few thousand orcs outside."
Kahan looked at Ze Ba for a while, then he closed his eyes silently.
"A few thousand orcs? That's underestimating us. "He laughed self-deprecatingly.
"I've never underestimated you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here."
Ze Ba said very seriously.
Hearing this, Kahan showed a serious expression.
"What do you mean?"
"He betrayed Will's Kai. He has something important to tell Bucko Snail," Bru said. Ze Ba was grateful that Kahan spoke up for him. He was still worried that Ze Ba would really kill him.
Kahan frowned and looked at Ze Ba suspiciously. He did not know what Ze Ba was thinking.
"You said that his subordinates are still outside?"
"They probably left. I didn't force them to stay." Ze Ba suddenly became nervous.
"Hmph, let's go."
Kahan ignored Ze Ba and suddenly shouted to the orc soldiers behind him. Then, the strange team continued to move forward.
"Yes, if anything happens, I'll kill you myself, Bru."
Kahan left these words behind before he left.
Ze Ba sighed in relief.
"Let's go. There's still some distance to go."
That was all Bru said before he continued to lead the way.
"What are they going to do?"
"They're going to fetch water. There's no harm in telling you. Water is what we lack the most."
Ze Ba was surprised.
Ze Ba was a little surprised by this answer. Could it be that the people here relied on the method of going out to fetch water to survive? It was hard to imagine. However, not all of them relied on fetching water. He saw some dry or muddy pits. When it rained, these pits could accumulate water.
They continued to move forward and came to a very backward town. It looked like an orc tribe. The totem of the orc king's tribe and the stone walls were full of spikes. At least there was an army here.
"This is the Undying Fortress. It's our last refuge. Will's Kai can never kill us."
Bru said proudly.
However, Ze Ba didn't tell him that Will Dicai didn't care about them at all. It had once told him that these defeated soldiers of the old Beast Emperor would never amount to anything. Even if they were left alone, they would perish on their own.
There were many orcs in the fortress, but most of them were very thin. They weren't as strong as the orc soldiers Ze Ba saw outside. Although there were many orcs here, the atmosphere was sad and desolate. This was a completely lifeless city. Zeba had been to many cities, and he knew that this kind of city could not last forever. Will Kai's judgment was correct. If they were left alone, they would either die like moths to a flame or slowly die out in this place in a decade or so.
At this time, Ze Ba felt a little sad. At the same time, he was worried. The reason he came here was to find a brave army. But now that he saw it, it felt a little unrealistic to rely on them to fight against Will Tikai.
What would he do if they failed? Would his boss just leave him here?
After all, ever since his army had been wiped out by his boss, he couldn't go back. Will's Kai hated losers the most. Once they were defeated, no matter how much they had contributed to the orcs, they would be punished. They would have to go through the orc's traditional punishment ceremony and challenge the terrifying four-armed giant.
Ze Ba knew that he was different from the other Infernal Generals. He would definitely be beaten into a meatball. So when Richard released him unconditionally, he didn't leave. He discovered that the Great Forest of Ufa was very fertile, and the irrigation system was very developed. Every part of the forest could be easily irrigated. This was a farmer's paradise. He even dreamed that he could farm here.
So he begged Richard to take him in and just let him farm a bit of land.
However, his boss Richard refused. He told him that if he wanted to farm in the Wussen Empire, he had to follow the Wussen Empire's laws. He had to work in the country for more than ten years without any criminal record. He had to earn merits as a soldier or be discharged from the army. He had to have a special skill and make contributions to guide talented people to join the Wussen Empire.
As a captive of the defeated, he already had a criminal record. So the first rule wasn't suitable. The second rule was that he was tired of war. As a soldier, he would only be cannon fodder. The third rule was that other than farming and knowing a bit of war tactics, he didn't have any special skills. He couldn't compare to the farmers under his boss's command. Therefore, it could only choose the last option.
So he thought of the remnants of the old Beast Emperor's faction. That was the army of the old general Buckelot. After a discussion with Richard, he agreed to his idea and agreed to help him.
Ze Ba glanced at the caterpillar on his shoulder and let out a sigh of relief. He knew how strong his boss was. With him here, he would definitely be fine.
So he boldly followed Blue and came to this red hell alone.
At this time, the two of them came to a building guarded by soldiers. This building was octagonal. Even if it was the main camp of the Beastmen, it was also a fortress against the enemy.
"Help me tell Buckelot that I've brought Ze Ba here."
The soldier glanced at Ze Ba in disbelief.
"Hurry up and go!"
After saying that, the soldier trembled and shouted "Yes" before running into the fortress.
Blue turned back to look at Ze Ba.
"If Buckelot doesn't want to see you, then I can't do anything. If he wants to kill you, I won't hesitate to kill you."
He said so directly.
Ze Ba nodded and swallowed his saliva. He prayed that Buckelot would be merciful and meet him.
Soon, there was a sound of footsteps. It was armored Beastmen soldiers. They were clearly elite troops. They rushed out with machetes and immediately surrounded Ze Ba and Ze Ba.
"You're Ze Ba, right?"
A soldier asked.
"I am."
Ze Ba replied.
"Why do you want to see Buckelot? If you're here to persuade us to surrender, then you're here to die! "
The other party shouted.
He was obviously much calmer than the previous Beastman. At least, he didn't draw his sword and cut him on the spot.
Ze Ba took a deep breath and said, "Of course I'm not here to persuade you to surrender. Instead, I want you to fight against Will di Kai!"
Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers were stunned. They looked at each other and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"I don't believe you, but if you want to see Buckelot, you have to cooperate with us and let us tie you up!"
The other party thought for a while and said after realizing that he couldn't make a decision.
"Are you afraid that I, who is unarmed, can break through your defense and hurt Buckelot? You think too highly of me, "Ze Ba said self-deprecatingly. This was the truth.
However, Blue frowned and said, "You're too modest. I agree with them. If you want to see Buckelot, this is the only way."
Ze Ba sighed and said, "Alright, tie me up. Do whatever you want."
A moment later, his entire body was wrapped in ropes like a dumpling. Moreover, there were chains tied to his hands and feet. On the other end of the chains, there was a large rock tied to him.
What did I do to deserve this!
Ze Ba thought bitterly in his heart.
"Let's go!"
The soldier said with satisfaction.
"You've tied me up like this. How do you expect me to leave!"
Ze Ba protested loudly.
This sudden roar scared the surrounding soldiers so much that they took a few steps back and drew their weapons. When they reacted, they thought about it and realized that it made sense. No matter how powerful an orc was, he wouldn't be able to understand after being tied up like this. Thus, a few of them worked together and carried him in. Behind them, a soldier carried the rock.
