Chapter 6 A Serious Situation

"Bald dad, how did you know that I am a half-elf? Do I look similar to a half-elf?"

Asking as soon as you think of it is a good habit of Chi Nan. The bald dad waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, please, just call me bald, or you can call me old man." It was obvious that the bald dad was really scared.

The hierarchy of this world seems to be much stricter than I imagined. "Don't be like this. You saved my life. Besides, I'm just an apprentice. It's not official yet. There's nothing noble about it."

The bald father still looked frightened, but after Chi Nan's repeated insistence, he could only acquiesce. "Of course the adult cannot look like a half-elf. In fact, half-elves are said to be the descendants of humans and elves. Some of them look more like humans, and some look more like elves. Except for his slender figure, everything else about the adult looks different. Like an elf.”

Slender? Are you talking about yourself? By the way, compared to you muscular men who exercise all day long, I am indeed slender. But his figure is considered very strong on earth.

In order to stay in shape, I insist on getting up early every day to run and exercise. To be surprised, in this place, he was called slender. Well, at least they won't think of them as warriors. It's not good for them to kill themselves in close combat.

"Then how did you determine that I was a half-elf?" Chi Nan did not say that he was not.

The bald father cracked his mouth and smiled: "Sir, you are joking. Although I am not well-informed as a bald man, I also know that only elves and half-elves can use natural magic. Humans cannot use natural magic."

It turns out that this is the case. It seems that there is a type of magic such as natural magic in this world, and it is exclusive to elves. Half-elves should be able to use them because of their bloodline, but I don’t know what the relationship between half-elves, elves, and humans is. Now they treat themselves well because they are useful to them, but they still cannot see the specific details.

But this is good, at least he has an identity, half-elf mage, which is not bad.

"By the way, bald dad, can you tell me about the wild orcs? I just came out of the mountain and don't know much about everything outside." Chi Nan pretended to be very interested.

The bald father suddenly said: "No wonder, you don't know anything. I heard before that you don't understand the human language. You should be learning Elvish language. Some half-elves always think that they are elves."

Seemingly realizing that he said something he shouldn't have said, the bald father paid careful attention to Chi Nan. After not noticing that Chi Nan had an angry expression, the bald father breathed a sigh of relief. I am used to bragging with other colleagues, so I always talk nonsense unconsciously. To many half-elves, the word half-elf is an insult.

"Ahem, let's talk about the wild orcs. The north of our Kingdom of Rusiyala, close to the wild orc prairie, is often attacked by the wild orcs. The wild orcs are the things you saw before."

Chi Nan nodded. It was scary. Although they did not have sophisticated weapons and equipment, they were able to crush all human soldiers with their own physical fitness.

"Actually, wild orcs attack us every year, but in the past, it was when the wild orcs had no food, that is, after the arrival of winter. But this year, I don't know what happened to the wild orcs, they actually attacked us at this time , and so many people were dispatched, you know, there were not so many people in previous years.”

"It's a pity that we were caught off guard now. So many wild orcs rushed in, and we couldn't stop it just by relying on the three legions of Remas. I heard that the first legion has been scattered. Hey, I don't know what to do. ”

Has the situation become serious enough? Remas only had three legions in total, and one of them was scattered.

"What about other provinces? Don't they have support?" Chi Nan was a little surprised.

"We have sent a request for help, but the nobles in other provinces are still discussing. It is said that many people do not agree to send troops because there are too many wild beasts, and the nobles are worried that their troops will be damaged too much."

"Many surrounding territories are strengthening their defenses, and there is no sign of sending troops. There are also nobles in some territories who have fled with their wealth and troops. It is said that Governor Remas personally went to other provinces to ask for support, but he didn't know What's the specific situation?" The bald father looked at the sky and sighed.

The Governor went to ask for help in person? Chi Nan sneered in his heart. At such a critical moment, as the governor of a province, he actually left. I'm afraid this was not a request for help, but an escape. However, calling for help sounds better than running away. The governor has left, so you can imagine how many nobles can stay on Remas's side.

After sneering for a while, Chi Nan became depressed. Because the worse the current situation is, the less beneficial it is to yourself. Once the whole thing collapses, where will I go to escape?

"How could it collapse? I must have thought too much." Chi Nan encouraged himself in his heart.

Suddenly, Chi Nan continued: "Is it possible that the wild orcs have been unified by someone, so they can gather so many wild orcs to attack." The more you know, the more benefits you will have.

The bald old man sneered: "How is it possible? These wild beastmen are recognized as barbarians. They don't even have their own civilization. At most, they are a larger tribe. If it weren't for the lack of food every year, they would never gather together. Wild beastmen don't listen to anyone, so how can anyone unify them?"

Primitive civilization? If so, there shouldn't be too many wild beastmen.

But who knew that the words of the bald old man made Chi Nan feel depressed. "I don't know what happened this time, so many wild orcs came all of a sudden. I secretly heard a few days ago that there seemed to be more than 100,000 wild orcs coming this time. With so many wild orcs, even a million-strong army is no match for them."

The bald old man lowered his voice and looked around carefully: "Don't tell others, such words will easily cause a mutiny in the army, and the situation will be even worse at that time."

"Then why did you tell me, aren't you afraid that I would let it slip?"

"Of course I'm not afraid, but I also have to leave a way out. If you want to escape, I hope you can take me with you." The bald old man lowered his voice, looked hopeful, and said to Chi Nan carefully.
