"If it wasn't for His Highness Wardock challenging you when you were at your weakest, you wouldn't have been expelled, and he wouldn't have become the chief of the Bloodshed clan!! If not…if not…he is still your elder brother!”
The bearman's bear head revealed a human-like expression of grief and indignation as he said fiercely,""…His Highness is too despicable and shameless, just like those humans. He is a disgrace to us Beastmen!!”
"Hahaha! I thank you for your approval. Bloodshed might have some thoughts, but it still fits the traditions of our Beastmen, right?”
Lisa laughed loudly, as if she didn't care about the unfair treatment she received.
The bearman's face was twisted. He opened his mouth to refute, but in the end, he could only sigh helplessly and nod heavily."…Yes, Your Highness, you are right. Even if His Highness Wardock's methods are somewhat shameless, he still follows the traditions of our Beastmen. His position as the chief will be recognized by the ancestral souls.”
The composition of the orc kingdoms was completely different from that of the human kingdoms. Although the orc kingdoms were unified as a whole, just like a unified human empire, the way the orcs ruled was actually more similar to that of human kingdoms.
There were countless clans in the Orc Empire, but none of them were like the royal family of the humans. The position of the Orc Empire's Great Chieftain, which was equivalent to the human emperor, was not inherited. Instead, it followed a barbaric and ancient method that was very fair--duels!
If the orc kingdom was compared to the human empire, then the large and small clans of the orcs were equivalent to lords. The leader of each clan was called the chief, and these large and small clans combined to form a complete orc tribe.
The ancient beastmen were a pure nomadic race. They were based on clans and wandered the fertile grasslands, raising large numbers of cattle and sheep.
The current Orcs were different from the past. Small clans still lived a nomadic life, while large clans built their own cities. Some Orcs even learned how to plant crops. However, due to technical problems and the land that the Orcs lived on, their agricultural standards were completely inferior to humans.
When the Great Chieftain of the orc kingdom grew old, he would choose the next Great Chieftain. The Chieftains of the large clans would gather in the Orc kingdom,'Aldore'. Under the witness of their ancestors and all the orcs, they would engage in the most primitive and ancient battle. The next Great Chieftain would be decided by the clash of flesh and muscles.
This was the most sacred and unsullied battle of the Beastmen. It represented the glory of the Beastmen. If anyone dared to use any tricks in this sacred battle, they would be punished by all the Beastmen clans.
Every clan also relied on this method of dueling to elect their chief. The only difference was that each clan had the right of inheritance. In other words, the children of the chief had the right to inherit the clan. Unless the heir was too useless and couldn't be recognized by the other orcs in the clan, they could use the abdication method to replace the chief.
The Bloodshed clan that Lisafure belonged to was a relatively large clan. It had its own city in the territory of the eastern orcs. Every clan of the orcs lived in a mixed way, which meant that there were many kinds of orcs in a clan, such as bearmen, werewolves, foxes, cats, and so on. Only a small number of clans still retained their ancient traditions. There was only one orc classification in the clan.
The chief of the Bloodshed clan was a werewolf, and Lisafure and her brother were the two heirs who had the qualifications to challenge the chief. If it was an ordinary royal family, they would have a headache because they didn't have an outstanding heir. However, this generation of Bloodshed clan had a headache because they had two outstanding heirs.
Lisafure and her brother were famous in the entire Orc tribe. According to the age of the Orcs, they had reached the strength of the 9th rank at a young age. With their age and talent, the broad road of legendary had already appeared in front of them.
Not too long ago, the Bloodshed clan had suffered a terrible disaster. The chief of the clan, who was also Lisafure's father, had died in that disaster, and she had also suffered serious injuries.
The clan could not live without a chief for a day. Therefore, after the crisis was resolved, Lisafure and her brother would duel to choose a new chief.
However, no one expected that after the disaster of the Bloodshed Clan ended, and before Lisafure's injuries were fully healed, her brother would initiate a duel to elect a chief.
Although he was suspected of taking advantage of the situation, everything he did was completely in line with the Orc tradition. In the Orc tradition, as long as the Chieftain died, the heir could initiate a duel at any time, and there was no requirement for both sides to maintain their peak strength in the challenge.
Because in the Orcs 'dictionary, injury was not an excuse to escape from battle. Only death was!
Therefore, Lisafure could only accept the challenge unless she was willing to surrender as the loser. However, that would be a great humiliation for the orcs.
The battle between two siblings who were equally talented and understood each other was a matter of course lost to Lisafre, who had yet to recover from her injuries. She lost the right to inherit the Bloodshed clan and became a complete loser and slave.
However, perhaps it was because they were both siblings and had blood relations, or perhaps it was because of Wardock, who had inherited the position of Bloodshed Clan's chief. Bloodshed was also ashamed of his methods, so he gave Lisa her freedom and removed her status as a slave.
Although the Orcs were much more civilized now, the Orc Kingdom still had a classic slavery system. The defeated would become the slaves of the victors, and the victors could take whatever they wanted from their slaves. It was already a blessing in disguise that Lisafre was still free. Otherwise, with her beauty and strength, she would probably be treated as a sex slave.
Just like that, Lisa was chased out of the clan. However, no one expected that a small portion of the people who had once followed her were willing to continue following her, resulting in the current scene.
They had crossed the desert of death from the east, walked through dangerous jungles, crossed poisonous swamps, and finally arrived here.
They were a group of homeless people, a group of wanderers, losers who had lost their homes.
Lisafure felt that she had let down the people who had followed her, so she tried her best to find a new habitat. However, it was not easy to find a new habitat. During this long journey, countless people had died on the way.
As a defeated orc, there was no place for them to live. Lisafure knew that if she wanted to join a powerful clan, she and her people could only join as slaves. This was absolutely unacceptable to her. She didn't care, but she definitely couldn't let these people who trusted her lose their freedom.
It was also impossible to join the humans. Those sinister and cunning humans and orcs were mortal enemies. If he dared to go, it would be tantamount to betraying all the orcs.
Lisafure had also considered whether she could use war to seize a piece of land, but there were only a few hundred warriors following her, and they had run out of food along the way. They couldn't even maintain their physical strength, so how could they have the strength to fight? Even if they managed to seize a piece of land, most of the warriors would be killed or injured, and they wouldn't be able to defend it later.
Therefore, Lisafure's thought was that they could only find a place to barely survive like the weak races and monsters that hid in the mountains, swamps, and forests.
"Your Highness, do you still remember the news from the Beastman caravan we met before?”
The bearman looked at Lisa's arrogant but lonely expression and could not help but say.
Lisafure's heart skipped a beat. She raised her head and said,""…You mean the Central City controlled by the Slyin Church was recently captured by a demigod ancient dragon who returned from a distant star field?”
She understood what the bearman was thinking.
Perhaps this was really a solution. If there was no room for her to survive in the orc and human worlds, then it might be a good choice to rely on the dragons.
Lisa thought.
