Become the city lord from today

Tick ​​tick tick...

This is a dark cave with drops of water dripping from time to time. There is a fire inside. There are more than a dozen people crowded inside. They all look respectfully at the person in front of them.

Under the firelight, the man's shadow kept changing, with a pair of sharp protrusions above the shadow.

Enri is a fox orc, the leader of this orc team, and their spiritual support.

She was tired and hungry. She had only eaten one meal in five or six days. She was in a bad mood ever since her good friend Mina, the second in charge of the team, went out to look for food.

Enri touched her belly to hold back her hunger. She had forgotten how long it had been since she had a full meal. Was it a year ago? Or two years ago?

The only time she had enough to eat was the day. She remembered it very clearly. It was the cold winter three years ago. That day she went to look for food in the snow. Her hands were so cold that she almost lost consciousness. She kept digging through the snow, hoping to Finding a wild fruit or grass root will also work.

However, the one-meter-thick snow layer was not something that her little person could move over. She was stuck in the snow layer, two-thirds of which was buried in the snow. She was only 1.5 meters tall and looked like a tall girl. Just like a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, in fact, she was already sixteen years old that year.

Just when Enri thought she was going to die, her body was suddenly lifted up and she would always remember that delicate and beautiful face and those trembling cat ears.

She was held in a warm embrace by Mina and carefully taken to a tree hole. It was also in that tree hole that she spent her happiest days.

Every day I gnawed on the nuts that Mina had stored in the autumn, ate melted snow water, and occasionally ate a little bit of dried meat, which Mina had 'borrowed' when she went out.

Later, the two depended on each other, one was a cat orc and the other was a fox orc.

Enri is the wise person behind the scenes, helping Mina perfect loopholes in her actions every time. Although the two of them are often hungry, they are very happy.

But two years ago, when Mina brought back a little orc, everything slowly changed. Their team grew from two people, to three people, to four people... to the current eighteen people.

Hunger is always with them. With more than a dozen mouths to fill, Mina and Enri worry about food every day.

Every time Mina goes out to 'borrow' something, she always comes back with injuries. Although the wounds are getting fewer and fewer, in the past year, Mina has rarely been injured, which shows that Mina's strength has become stronger.

And An Lichou had dozens of hairs pulled out by her. Her wisdom made her the leader of the team, and Mina's bravery made her the second leader.

Six days ago, Mina went out to look for food again, saying the same words to Enri that she had been repeating for the past three years.

"Enri, if they don't come back in two days, take them to the south. The winter there won't be so cold. At least everyone can survive by eating grass roots and wild fruits. Also, don't trust the human race. They are too hypocritical and cunning. Once captured and made into a slave, everything is over."

In this case, Enri can be said to know it by heart. Mina is very serious every time she says this. She is two years older than Mina. Perhaps years of malnutrition have made Enri's growth and development very slow. Until now, They are both 1.5 meters tall and very thin, like a little girl who has not grown up.

Enri agrees very seriously every time and does not take it to heart, because she believes that Mina will come back.

But...six days have passed this time, and there is no news about Mina. This is unprecedented. Mina will be back in two days at the latest.

Enri's little mind has thought of many bad fantasies. Mina was captured by a noble. Are you here? Will you be hanged by the nobles? Or will you be sold as slaves?

No, Enri shouted in her heart, this is impossible. Mina is the best warrior she has ever seen, several times more powerful than those noble knights. , it is impossible to be caught.

For six days, Enri has become more and more anxious. She has no sense of security now. Without Mina, it will be difficult for her to swallow even if she has food.

She has been thinking about whether to go South, Mina believed that she would take these orcs to the south, but she did not want to go to the south. The south without Mina would be colder than the winter here.

"Sister Enli, do we really want to go to the south?"

A male voice in the stage of changing his voice sounded. This was a bull orc with horns. Enri recovered from her memories and looked at the thin boy in front of her. This was the little orc that Mina brought back, called Ax. This year Fifteen years old.

Generally, the Ox tribe orcs at this age will grow to more than 1.8 meters tall and are mighty warriors.

But Ax is now a dwarf of 1.6 meters, and is still very thin. Even though Ax is very strong now , no worse than the 1.8 meter Ox warrior, but still hungry.

Seeing Anli's silence, Ax couldn't help but shouted anxiously,"Sister Anli, let's not go to the south. I heard that the human race there hates us very much. Seeing Orcs will be captured and used as slaves"

"Moreover, the second sister Mina has never come back. I miss her."

Ever since Ax was rescued by Mina and Enri, he has always treated them as his saviors and sisters. He did not dare to be disrespectful at all, even if it means giving his life. Now Mina has not been back for six days.

"Ax, let's not go to the south, let's go to Mina, she is waiting for us to rescue her."Anli's face showed a smile as pure as a lily.

"Um! We are going to rescue the second sister Mina."

"Mina should have gone to the territory over Xiyang City six days ago. Everyone should pack up. We set off at night. It should take a day or two to get there."

"Please collect it, ask for flowers, and ask for votes. Today is Father’s Day, everyone remember to wish your father a happy day."
