Chapter 18: Tu'er Mountain Village

Tixilan Mountains, southern forest.

A group of rabbits are busy reinforcing the wooden fence by the village. They

are said to be rabbits. In fact, they are basically the same as humans, except

for the pair of rabbit ears on their heads.

The trees around the village are relatively sparse, and it can be seen that

they have been felled. Some simple crops, such as vegetables, beans and some

brown mushrooms, are sporadically planted on the hillside. Unfortunately, they

are growing in general.

There are about 200 rabbit ears in the village, and they all live in tall

mushrooms.

Yes, these mushrooms are taller than people. The interior is hollowed out to

form a room. The top of the mushroom is also very rich in color, including

orange, bright red, light blue, and a small amount of light green. It looks

amazing and beautiful.

The mushroom houses of large and small are gathered together, which is quite

fairy tale.

The men, women, and children in the village seem to be very busy. They ran

around in a hurry, constantly bringing in stones, adding wooden fences, and

sharpening the upper part of the wooden wall to increase their lethality.

Unfortunately, they have limited ironware and not many weapons. Most of them

are sharpened with wooden poles as guns, and only a few of the spear tips are

covered with iron spear heads.

And those gun tips are full of small notches. They should have been used for a

long time, but they are polished very brightly and there is no rust. They

should be very good for normal maintenance.

Lorrain Hill was quietly observing this special group of races on the opposite

hill.

The Bunny Ear Clan is a branch of the orc clan. In the first era, the orcs

were also widely distributed in all corners of the continent, and they also

had their own countries. They were a powerful race second only to elves at

that time. They have their own unique culture, writing and customs.

But there are also huge differences between the orcs, some are very addicted

to murder and violence, and some are very gentle and weak, and cannot be

generalized.

And the group of rabbits in front of them belonged to a relatively weak group.

In historical records, even during the heyday of the orc empire, they often

worked as peasants and auxiliary workers. They were the only ones who

participated in the war and left a record. Very ugly.

Today's external situation, the girl is not very clear, but she probably

guessed that this group of rabbits should have a bad life. Most of them are

thin, poorly dressed, with a lot of patches, and they are very thin.

In the early autumn morning, there was a bit of chill in the mountains, and

some young rabbits were cold and a little trembling, and it was much better

after the sun rose.

The only commendable thing is that they love cleanliness and are more united.

While the clothes are worn out, they are whitish, and there are not many

stains. The situation of collaboration during work is very good. If there is a

rabbit who can't handle the job alone, others are willing to help, and at the

same time, it can be seen that they are very hardworking. Everyone works

together, no one is lazy, even the little bunny will do simple things as much

as possible.

"Kanda...how are the preparations in the village now?"

An elderly old man with a pair of gray rabbit ears on his head, pestering a

cane and asking a strong young man in front of him, this young man also has a

pair of rabbit ears on his head, but they are black.

"Father, we have refurbished the surrounding walls of the village, and put

stones on the back for reinforcement, and we are almost done."

"Okay...well...have everyone gathered in the village? Is there anyone who

hasn't come back outside?"

"Almost all came back, only Eden did not come back, he said he would go to

other villages for help."

"Other villages, alas...don’t embarrass others, the surrounding villages of

the rabbit ears. In fact, everyone knows the situation in their hearts, which

one does not survive the hardship, and there is no room to help us."

"When I was young, there were more than a dozen villages, large and small, in

this forest. They could also support each other and exchange what is needed.

At that time, they could even get some iron products. Now, there are only 5

villages left. , I am afraid that there will be only 4 in a long time,

alas..."

"Father, can't we leave this dangerous forest?"

The young man with black rabbit ears was a little puzzled and excited.

"Leave? Where can I go if I leave here?"

The old man sighed and touched a hair ornament hanging from the crutch. The

main body of this ornament is a ball, and under it is a bronze nameplate

wrapped with a few strings. The nameplate is engraved with two words. If you

are familiar with the orc language, you will know that the two words above

mean "White Jing".

"The Crazy Fang Empire, that once powerful country has been dissipated for

thousands of years. Now, it is the world of mankind. Where can I go? In this

mountain forest, at least there is still freedom. After going out, you can

only become a slave. ."

"But, I heard that there are still a large number of orc tribes on the Gufia

steppe, we can go there."

"No...silly boy, in a foreign country, the same kind is sometimes even more

terrifying than humans."

"Although humans will catch us as slaves, they can at least survive. When we

meet the same kind, our rabbit ears may be treated as food. Don't think this

is alarmist. At the beginning, this kind of thing did not happen frequently.

Over."

The old man with rabbit ears shook his head, looked at the busy people on the

hillside, and was silent for a while ~www.mtlnovel.com~ before talking.

"If you can't resist it later, you can take this nameplate and go to other

villages with the rest of the young men and children who can go."

"This is the clan card that was bestowed on the Rabbit Ears when the Crazy

Fang Empire was still there. The Rabbit Ears tribe only got three nameplates,

namely, Black, White, and Gray."

"Thousands of years ago, with this nameplate, you could have the qualification

to grow grain south of the Gaodan Plain and be protected by the Imperial

Parade. As a duty, the three tribes of Rabbit Ears had to pay sufficient

amounts to the Empire every year. Food to maintain this relationship."

"It is said that the first few years were okay. Later, as the number of our

clan continued to rise, in order to control the number, the empire used young

people to fight or work."

"It is a war, but in fact it is using our rabbit ears as cannon fodder, or

even marching rations."

"However, our clan is too weak to resist, we can only let it go. Therefore,

you don't have to miss the violent wind empire. You have to be more careful

when you see other carnivorous orc tribes."

The black-eared youth is a little hard to accept the fact that he had no other

way to learn about this dust-covered history for thousands of years, and it

was the first time he heard of it today.

"I see, father."

The youth's tone was a bit heavy, and then he continued to ask.

"Aren't you leaving?"

"I'm old, I can't walk fast, I can't work, I just waste food."

"You have grown up, I have taught you everything that should be taught." The

old man touched the young man's head with his yellow palm and smiled with

relief.

"When people meet, there will be a day of separation, so don't be sad,

besides, there is still the possibility of victory? Are you a young man, why

am I not as ambitious as I am?"
