August, managing his expression, answered indifferently. Then the girl’s expression suddenly darkened. It’s like he’s never done anything like this before, and his inner thoughts are clearly visible on his face. When I looked at those innocent eyes, I couldn’t help but laugh at them.
“… … Those who can be used as gladiators are a bit different. I will give you seven gold coins. How is it?”
The actual price of an orc gladiator was about ten gold coins on average, and August was paying attention by secretly reducing the price. Sure enough, he nods his head right away, as if he doesn’t know anything.
“Joe, great!”
“Then let’s make a deal right away. Now, sign this contract.”
August handed over the contract and urged him to sign it. The girl wrote the farm’s name on the contract and signed it.
It was the first farm he had heard of, but August didn’t mind. Anyway, small farms were widespread on the outskirts of Kentry City. Rather, it was important to quickly take care of this green oak.
The transaction was completed when August took the contract and the girl received seven gold coins and carefully placed them in her bosom. August cried out in joy.
‘Hahaha! ‘I never thought I’d get a guy like this.’
If this orc were to become the champion of Kentry City, the payout alone would amount to hundreds of gold coins. You can buy such a guy for only seven coins? He was an extremely wealthy businessman.
The girl muttered sadly as she stroked the green orc’s forearm.
“Even though this kid looks like this, he’s very kind. You sometimes fight with other orcs, but how well do you listen to me? So please be kind to me.”
For a moment, August laughed. I guess it was said as a compliment on my part, but having a gentle personality is only a negative factor from a gladiator’s point of view.
The green orc looked down at the girl with a sad face and said.
“Master, I work harder. “Don’t sell me.”
The girl also cried and wiped her eyes.
“I’m sorry, try your best to live under your new owner. “Listen carefully.”
The two of us are filming a new drama together. August shook his head.
‘He must really have a gentle personality to be able to take a girl like that around by himself. I guess I’ll have to undergo some harsh personality modification.’
As with all gladiator training centers, Wildbane was especially famous for treating orcs harshly. If you stay here for just a month, even an orc as gentle as a sheep will run wild like a mad bull.
“It was a good deal, Miss Sheila.”
“Yes, Mr. August.”
After leading the girl outside, August called a guard and had him take the green orc away. Two guards shackled the orc’s wrists and dragged him inside.
After passing the gorgeous mansion and entering the shabby stone building next to it, I found myself in a rough space surrounded by plaster walls. There were iron bars everywhere, and dozens of lumpy orcs were resting or training their bodies inside them.
The guard shouted as he opened the grate and pushed the green orc inside.
“You’re new! “You beasts!”
The guard closed the bars again and climbed up. The green orc looked around for a moment and then sat down in a corner without saying a word. The orc gladiators shouted in orc with their eyes shining.
“There’s a new guy here.”
“Welcome to hell, kid! “Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”
Mocking voices poured in from all directions, but the green orc did not move.
A gray-skinned orc gladiator who looked quite old approached him and asked.
“You have come to a place where even you cannot come. “What’s your name, young man?”
The green orc raised his head. At that moment, the middle-aged orc flinched and his body trembled.
The gentle face from before was gone, and eerily intense eyes were shining on the cold expression.
“I call you Tashidra, son of Crota and heir to the sword of Kalken.”
☆ ☆ ☆
The moonlight streaming in through the window dimly illuminated the interior of the gladiator’s quarters. In the dim darkness, Orc gladiators who had finished their day’s work were sitting together in groups of twos and threes, rolling dice or talking.
“You somehow survived today too.”
“But I don’t know what tomorrow will bring.”
“Oh, did you ever hear the story about when Berrick died? “The bullshit our master August said.”
“What did you say?”
“They said he said this when he looked at the dead Berrick.”
The orc gladiator raised his head and shouted, imitating August’s voice.
“If I was going to die anyway, I should have avoided the armor and been hit by the sword! “Didn’t you lose one of your precious pieces of armor?”
Those listening to the story exposed their buck teeth and ground them.
“What a dog.”
“Damn you bastard… … .”
The orc gladiators who burst into helpless anger soon slumped their shoulders. This was by no means someone else’s story. It was a story that could have put you in the same situation a few days later.
A cursed fate, a cursed life, a future with no hope in sight… … .
Suddenly, an orc opened his mouth.
“Our situation is sad. I heard that there are orcs in the world who are blessed with a fighting spirit and can fight on equal footing with humans… … .”
“That’s the story of the county of Antares, right? It was said that King Reppenhardt founded it… … .”
Everyone had dreamy expressions. They also heard the rumor that the orcs of Antares live freely and are not despised by humans, but rather stand up to them proudly. There were times when I had the delusion that it would be great if I could live like that.
“I heard they have the pride of true warriors… … .”
“They say they are the ones who have the soul of a true Orc… … .”
The old orc gladiator shouted.
“Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep, you guys! “Isn’t this a story that has nothing to do with us anyway?”
At that time, a serious voice was heard from the corner of the dorm.
“What would you do if there was a relationship?”
The orcs turned their heads in puzzlement. The person who asked the question was a newcomer who came in today. He stood up, looked around at the orcs, and spoke.
“What would the Orcs of Antares do if a way to live like them was opened?”
“What are you talking about, Tashid?”
At the words of the older orc, the green orc, Tashid, stretched out his shackled arms. A turquoise glow surged from the shackles.
Quang!
An intense light burst out, and the steel shackles were instantly shattered and scattered to the floor. The orcs shouted in shock.
“Oh, an Auror?”
“oh my god! A fighter!”
Embarrassment spreads through the entire dorm like a wave. The other orcs who were rolling around were also surprised and ran towards us. The old orc shouted in surprise.

“Who, who? you are?”
Tashid slowly opened his mouth.
“I am from Antares, and I have come to open the way for my brothers.”
“I can break down this wall that is imprisoning us. After that, if you run to the armory and arm everyone, the mansion guards will be no match for you. After that, you can leave the city. I know the way. “If you follow the instructions carefully, you will be able to escape safely.”
Tashid calmly explained his escape plan. The orcs looked at each other in confusion.
“You’re going out? “This place?”
“Can you get out of this hell?”
There is no one who has not imagined escaping from this place. But when reality hit him, his feet stopped falling. They had been slaves since childhood, and had obeyed human orders their entire lives.
“Well, if you do that and get caught by humans… … .”
“You will suffer terrible torture and be eaten by demonic beasts… … .”
The fear of humans is engraved in my bones, and I can never easily shake it off. A look of anger appeared on Tashid’s face when he saw the hesitating orcs.
Tashid’s shout fell over the heads of the orcs.
“Are you warriors? Or are they talking livestock? “Do you mean to say that not a single drop of warrior’s blood flows from the heart that is beating right now?”
It was a cry mixed with anger, lament, and sadness. Slowly, a look of shame began to appear on the faces of the orcs. The life as a slave he has endured his entire life is overlaid with the souls of his great ancestors flowing in his blood.
One by one, the orcs made a decision and their eyes began to shine.
“I-I…” … .”
“Of course he is a warrior… … !”
Tashid straightened his back and opened his chest. The Auror raised his blazing fist. He shouted as he faced dozens of orc gladiators.
“If you truly consider yourself a warrior, stand up! “Get up, grab your weapons and fight!”
Orcs respect the strong. And Tashid was a true strongman who received the blessing of fighting spirit and possessed powers they could not even imagine. The great fighter was now shouting at them to rise up. The excitement was contagious, and one by one they started getting up from their seats.
“I am a warrior!”
“A true warrior with a free spirit!”
“I will follow you! Tashid, a fighter!”
The majority of the orc gladiators shouted in agreement with Tashid’s will. Some of the orcs still looked scared, but with the atmosphere flowing like this, they couldn’t help but join in.
“Then, brothers, I will now open the way.”
Tashid walked to the window where the moonlight streamed in and stretched out his hand. And then she let out a cry.
“come! “Dakar, my ally!”
Hehehe!
There was a sound of wind and something hit the wall.
Quaaaang!
There was a loud noise. The thick stone wall collapsed like a sand castle, and dust rose in all directions.
In it, Tashid raised his hand. The giant yam and Dakar were shining clearly in the moonlight.
“That… … .”
“A spiritual weapon that only true warriors possess… … .”
The orcs trembled and trembled. The images of our great ancestors, which we had heard as legends from our fathers and mothers who were slaves, were now becoming reality and unfolding before our eyes.
Tashid raised his sword and shouted.
“let’s go! Brothers, descendants of proud warriors!”
☆ ☆ ☆
Blood and screams were flowing like a river from Wildbane’s luxurious mansion. The mansion guards swung their spears and let out desperate cries.
“Ahh!”
“You dirty orcs!”
The roar of an angry orc followed suit.
“Kaaaa!”
“I’ll kill you all, you dirty humans!”
The orc gladiators cut down the guards like fierce beasts. According to Tashid’s plan, their strength was not at a level that the mansion guards could stop, as they raided the armory and equipped themselves.
One of the orc gladiators who was swinging his sword frantically suddenly brightened his eyes. She found a terrified servant hiding under the table.
“human!”
His eyes were turning red and he was about to stab him with his sword. Suddenly, a huge sword came flying out and blocked his attack.
Taang!
With a screeching sound, the orc gladiator turned his head. He looked at Tashid and shouted with excitement.
“Fighter, why are you stopping me?”
“He is just a servant.”
“This guy is human too!”
Grinding his teeth, the orc gladiator raised his sword again. Tashid shouted.
