Chapter 1148: Chapter 750, Slave King
The road was uneven and not flat.
Iron cages filled with slaves lined both sides of the road.
There were slave traders carrying buckets full of greasy food, scooping out thick morsels and putting them into the iron cages.
This was the original order of the Orcs.
The strong ruled as kings, while the losers could only descend into the bottom rung of slaves.
Along the dirt road, as they neared the city, their steps transitioned to blue brick pavement, making the walk much easier.
Kenreva City, with its towering city walls.
It seemed to be about eleven or twelve levels high.
On the city walls, one could see guards in various types of armor conducting patrols.
Ma Tianyi sat astride a horse, leading the group.
“This city’s main source of income comes from the slave trade. They have their own armies to capture slaves, and captives from various tribes are also brought here to be sold.”
Riding beside him was a warrior clad in black armor.
His body was completely covered by black armor, and all one could see were a pair of indifferent golden pupils, staring straight ahead.
On one side of his horse hung a long-handled spiked hammer.
A very uncommon weapon.
Azrag.
The fourth-ranked Crimson Flame War God.
Ma Tianyi had dared to come here for this meeting because the hero by his side had reached the tenth tier in orange.
Tier ten. This was a hero that only appeared in legends.
“Is everything arranged?” Azrag asked flatly.
Ma Tianyi rode closer, lowered his voice, and said, “Uh… everything is going according to plan. We will first meet with the Orc City Lord, and then my men will attack the city from outside, so we can directly take the City Lord hostage from within.”
This was their planned strategy.
Simply put, Fang Hao wanted to take over this city.
Ma Tianyi and Azrag, along with a hundred soldiers, would enter the city first to negotiate with the slave owners.
After the city was attacked from outside, attracting the city’s military forces,
Azrag would directly kill the city master inside, open the city gates, and occupy the city.
It was risky, but it was also an opportunity for Ma Tianyi and his men to turn over a new leaf compared to the oppression of the slave traders.
The group continued advancing.
Ma Tianyi further inquired, “Um, Miss Azrag, are you confident?”
Azrag glanced at him with her golden eyes but did not answer; she just quietly walked forward.
However, the disdain in her eyes was quite evident.
Ma Tianyi gave an awkward smile and said no more.
Indeed, a superior hero, so strong, so aloof.
Approaching the city gate.
He casually showed the Token that had been given for the negotiation with the Orcs the previous day to the questioning guard.
The Orc guard glanced at it and allowed them to enter the city.
The city inside was much nicer than the outside, but the roads were still lined with slaves chained and shackled, being led to different places.
They stopped in front of the Clan Leader’s hall.
Ma Tianyi handed his horse to an Orc waiting by the side.
Ma Tianyi, along with two regular human soldiers, entered the hall, while Azrag and her people waited outside.
…
Clan Leader’s hall.
It still carried the rugged style of the Orcs.
Beast heads and swords decorated the walls.
On the prime seat sat a tall Orc hero.
Bare-chested with red skin showing robust muscles.
His large fanged mouth and two yellowish fangs protruding from the corners appeared like those of a man-eating beast.
His right hand, thick with black fur, was holding two iron chains.
At the other ends of the chains were two female Orcs, crouched on all fours like beasts.
Fear and unease filled their eyes.
[Slave King Urulisak—Purple Tier Eighth Level Hero].
The notorious slave owner was the very Orc in front of them.
In the eyes of slave traders, there was no difference between people and wild beasts.
Those not killed after being captured were only worth something of value.
Those that were hard to sell or had no value were chopped up to feed to livestock after their last bit of worth was squeezed out.
“Sit down, you’re the last one to arrive,” the Slave King spoke, his voice deep.
Ma Tianyi nodded and quickly took a seat to the side; the guards that followed stood behind him.
On another side of the room, several transmigrators were seated.
These were all hierarchs from nearby alliances.
They exchanged glances, each filled with solemnity and unease.
Who would have thought the Slave King would trouble them at a time when they had no military forces?
As everyone assembled,
The Slave King signaled someone on one side.
A transmigrator sitting at the lower end of the table stood up with a smile, first bowed to the Slave King,
Then said, “I am Diao Taining, met all the hierarchs here, not very powerful, now working for ‘Urulisak’ the city master.”
The other transmigrators frowned, their eyes casting strange glances at him.
Damn!
They wondered.
Why would the Slave King come to trouble them precisely when they were without armed forces?
So, there was a traitor among the transmigrators.
Damn it.
Everyone showed a look of anger.
Diao Taining did not care and continued, “We are all transmigrators, and our terrains are nearby. To live better and safer, ‘Kenreva City’ will establish a new set of rules to ensure we all can survive normally.”
No one spoke, just looking at him.
Unfazed, Diao Taining confidently walked back and forth in the central aisle, “Since no one objects, let me discuss the new rules.”
He paused slightly, then continued, “First, under ‘Kenreva City’s’ call, each city must send troops when there’s a battle. Second, each month pay a tribute of 200 slaves, whether by recruitment or plunder, the number must be sufficient. Third… Fifth, submit fifty thousand Warfire Coins at year-end. These are the rules, I think nobody should have an objection.”
