The Record of Orc Civilization

The sight of tall grass that seemed to be moving swiftly flashed before Anna's eyes. The speeding carriage didn't care about the passengers it was carrying. Sometimes she had to brace her feet just so her body wouldn't sway. Nash who was on her lap sleeping soundly ignoring his mother who was trying to keep him comfortable.

This carriage was pulled by two large bulls the size of a horse. Their large bodies with their strong legs easily ran in the middle of the meadow. They were not bothered by the ropes around their necks and the carriages they carried. The amazing thing is that these two bulls are wild animals that used to fight to the death with anyone who approached them.

The same thing happened with the dozens of other carriages in this caravan line. They are like docile and submissive mounts. All of this can happen due to the abilities of the sylphs.

Anna didn't know how the sylphs did it.

The carriage she was riding in was also quite extraordinary. Made of wood that she doesn't know the name of, this carriage is able to survive while traveling fast in the sloping ground of the Bog forest. Not to mention the specially modified carriages to carry food and plants, these carriages are proof that goblins are great engineers.

However, Anna also absolutely had no idea how the goblins did it.

Anna took a long sigh.

It's not that she doesn't want to find out but she has always lived as someone who only thinks about how to become a mage. Anna never cared about her surroundings, nor did she ever care what the people around her thought.

Anna is self-complacence and selfish. She realized this after listening to Widya's story.

Anna never realized her true position in the eyes of the girls. For Anna, she is just an ordinary girl who is lucky to be loved by Moku. Maybe this time it can no longer be said as a fortune.

She understood what she had to pay for Moku's love, she understood after knowing the true meaning of Nevare.

"Progenitor Queen, huh.."

Anna took another deep breath.

Anna knows that the girls have become very dependent on her, but they don't realize what Anna's real position is. To Moku, Anna who can't become a Nevare is just an ordinary girl whose heart is a little attached to him.

This can be seen clearly from what Moku said when he asked his love "I love you but I need Nevare more than Anna". A sentence that explains how big and to what extent Moku's love is.

Anna doesn't know what Moku will do if she gets in his way once again. Worst case scenario, Moku will separate Anna from Nash. Not to hurt Nash or Anna, but just to make Anna realize how powerful Moku is.

Anna took a deep breath for the third time.

She really didn't know what to do.

Not long after, the caravan stopped in front of a cave beside a high cliff. This was the place they chose to spend the night and rushed out of Glittering Meadow in the morning.

After Moku came out of his closed-door training, the monster caravan got busy again. They seemed to be in a hurry to get out of Glittering Meadow.

All orcs were tasked with hunting along the route and killing any animals that could harm the caravan. Moku didn't stand still either, he became the spearhead of clearing the route and exterminating every mutated animal that the orcs couldn't stand.

As a result, they found several places to stop when the caravan exited Glittering Meadow. Those places are ex-territory of gold tier mutated animals. after their death, their scent lingered for several days and during that time the other mutated animals would not dare to approach them.

After a few days, the scent will disappear and other mutated animals will know if the ruler of the area has left their territory or has been killed. In a few hours, the battle for territory between mutated animals will occur. However, the monsters didn't need to worry about that because they only used the place to rest at night and would leave at sunrise.

They had to be further away from Glittering Meadow before the first snow fell.

If Moku's hunch was right then their time is not long before The King and his colony catches up to them.

"Nevare, we are already at the rest area, what do you want for lunch?" Ui, one of the five goblins that Shezz assign to be Anna's maid asks.

Anna looks at the goblin who lowers her head and doesn't dare to look at her eyes. Anna always have complex emotion every time she sees them, she has some mistrust and fear because of the hole in Roko's chest and Tristan's porcupine body still shadowing her mind. But at the same time, Anna feels grateful to Shezz and the other goblins who help her during labor.

The five goblin maids never bother her and always try to help. Right now, Anna even doesn't need to wipe her body when bathing, the five goblin maids take turns massaging her, combing her hair, and drying her body. They show very respectful gestures to Anna and always use a lower tone when they talk to her. At first, Anna felt the life of a queen but over time she began to feel disturbed.

Anna is a warrior to the bone, she never cares to look elegant and preen, she always does everything herself and doesn't want to depend on others. But the five goblin maids pamper her so much till she doesn't need to scoop the water for herself, she only needs to glance at the cup than one of them will bring the water to her.

Her muscle sore so much every time thinking she will become like a fat lazy cat.

But Anna knows they just want to help, their devotion for the new Nevare is so grandeur that it blinds them from Anna's annoyed face. She can only think this is some payment for the trouble she just faces right now.

Anna take time to think too long, Ui glancing up because of Anna who just kept quiet. Anna clear her throat and use the best smile she could foster. She knew her maid will become worried sick if Anna showed the slightest gloomy face. Anna doesn't know what Shezz tell them about her, she hopes that Shezz never thinks that Anna will commit suicide. She is not that weak.

"As usual is okay Ui, but can you bring more meat for Nesh, I think he already can chew some soft food now. Orc really fast to grow right?" joy rose in her heart when she thought of Nesh growing up. Anna couldn't wait to hear Nesh call her 'mama'.

"Ah,, that's normal I guess, Life in the Bog forest is so tough that every race of monsters has grown up fast. I think humans have grown up slower because they have a safe environment and more easy life. They don't need to think about how to survive from mutated animals or mana species. Us monsters will need to think about how to still breathe tomorrow morning every time we close our eyes at night when the white mist comes." Ui said in a flat tone as if it never bother her before.

Anna what Ui said it's the truth, humans have more easy life than monsters. As a mana species, humans have the power to defend themselves from a cruel environment like Bog forest. They have high walls to prevent mutated animals to barge inside their home and have mages to become rulers in the vast fertile territory. Only other mana species will become a threat to other mana species.

Anna never knows how cruel humans can be to their own race, but Anna is already so close to knowing it that she can imagine it more clearly. That's why Anna is now very grateful to her parent who always protects her from the cruel world. The same feeling is also given to Moku and other orcs. But the same with her parent, Anna doesn't know how to express this grateful feeling, the fear of abandonment make her lash at Moku. Now Anna could only feel ungrateful and stupid.

She really wants to help other girls but at the same time, she doesn't have any face to beg and doesn't want to make Moku disappoint again. For Anna, Nash is her top priority right now.

Seeing Nevare back to daydreaming, Ui only can take a long sigh. Their Nevare really needs to grow up faster.

"So, I will tell the other maid to bring more meat for Nash" Ui broke Anna's daydream.

"Ah..eh.. yes.. thank you Ui" Anna nodded gratefully.

Anna looked back out the carriage window. But before she could drift back into her thoughts, Ui's angry voice sounded from the carriage door.

"What the fuck are you thinking?! Why did you come here?!! This Nevare carriage no man allow coming close!!" Ui's voice which always sounds soft fill with higher pitch anger.
