Orc Tyrant

The shopping mall has long been closed, and all windows are hung with heavy guardrails.

A gray-haired old man was standing on a dirty open-top car, begging for precious rations from the people around him. Next to him lay the scorched carcass of a car, with the front of the car embedded in a narrow strip. In the alley.

On the street lamp overhead, the only remaining spherical bulbs tried their best to disperse the darkness of the dark night, but unfortunately, most of the bulbs were broken long ago.

Since Ouke appeared one hundred kilometers away from the city, everything has been messed up.

A young couple, Julia and Alex, have already witnessed three battles here. One of them even attracted the attention of the patrol. But the perpetrators at the time, three young people and an old man, saw The patrol team appeared and disappeared in the vast sea of ​​people.

"They won't let you see these."

Alex's tone was rather dissatisfied.

"When you travel with your father, they will pretend that none of this exists, but look here, this is Tyre, this is the world we live in."

Julia is the jewel in the palm of a great nobleman, and her family is very prominent throughout the empire.

Alex is just a wizard apprentice with a small accomplishment, and he doesn't have a particularly prominent family background or background. He is just a country boy who has struggled to climb to his present position by relying on his talent.

The status of the two is quite different.

"I heard that they may be some impolite country folks."

Julia said naively:

"It's not to blame them."

"is it?"

The young wizard shook his head.

"It is the country folks who have exhausted generations of energy to build Tyre until your father's palace can almost reach the sky, but the foundation of the empire is so rotten. Sooner or later, their short-sightedness will destroy all of us."

"But our world is still very young and has yet to be developed. We still have time. The Father will protect us."

At this moment, something happened.

Something disturbed the crowd, making them walk slowly and crowded.

Suddenly, there was a sharp whistle in front of him.

Another battle?

Alex thought to himself, raising his guard.

Julia didn't seem to notice the changes in the surrounding atmosphere at all. Maybe she noticed, but she didn't care at all.

She dragged Alex forward through the crowd to find the source of the chaotic outbreak.

Alex warned her a little, but didn't resist. He didn't want to be treated as a coward by Julia. In his heart, he warned himself to be as brave as the heroes in the news.

Then, the crowd split in front of them, and a monster appeared in front of them.

This monster is curled up at the entrance of a wide tunnel. He has bright pink eyes, squeezed shoulders, and his skin is dry like old parchment and showing a sickly dark blue color, and his twisted arms have tumory claws. .

"Ghoul! Why..."

Alex was taken aback. He had seen this kind of monster before, but he had only seen it in the teaching album.

This is a monster that is said to be inseparable from the deceased Wendigo Church. It is said that the **** they believed in is an extremely powerful ghoul, and it will transform their followers into this monster after their death.

But since the Wendigo Church retreated to the Howling Mountains, this monster has completely disappeared. The last record was more than a thousand years ago.

In general, this is not something that ordinary people can handle.

Of course, he had also dreamed of personally dealing with such monsters. Of course, in those dreams, he would have extremely powerful power, and the monsters in the dreams were far from being so huge.

"Kill it! Kill this disgusting bug! It's just eating people!"

Some civilians with a game mind leaned forward with knives and wooden sticks.

These people surrounded the ghoul, mocking and spitting loudly at him, while the other side yelled at them to deter them.

Alex touched the dagger in his sleeve. It was a magic weapon given to him by his mentor. He knew that he should rush in front of everyone, then beat that monster into meat sauce and be a real hero.

"I come!"

At this time, a civilian leaned in front of the ghoul because he was too confident.

Then, the moment Alex blinked, the monster shot.

The ghoul screamed and tore the opponent's throat, and then was covered with blood.

"Well……"

After several wailings mixed with choking and coughing, the man died, and his comrades immediately threw down their weapons, and then ran away.

"Run!"

This time, Alex's body reacted faster than his brain. Before he could think about it, he grabbed Julia's hand and ran out.

They didn't go far, and it was far from safe at this distance.

The crowd fell into panic, and everyone ran away.

Alex struggled to escape in the crowded crowd, always fearing the monster behind him that might be behind him, imagining that the pair of claws would pierce his back at any time.

He wanted to yell, he wanted to stop the pedestrians in front of him, and then said to them in horror, "Don't go over there! The monster is over there!".

But the only thing he can do is to maintain balance.

If they fall, they will quickly be trampled into meat sauce by the crowd, or worse.

"Disperse! Disperse!"

The new voice overwhelmed the screams of the crowd, and Alex recognized that it was the sound of a rifle.

The patrol finally came to eliminate this threat.

Then he realized that the sound was not coming from behind him, but from in front of him-and at least in two directions.

Alex's stomach twisted, and he realized what this might mean.

"There are more ghouls!"

The two of them looked at each other and then reached a tacit understanding.

Then, the two rushed in a direction where there were no screams, gunshots, and prayers, and a direction that would not slam into more dangerous directions.

Alex knows that ghouls can pretend to be humans, carefully guarding everyone who is close to them and looking at them, and looking for any signs of change in them as much as possible.

At this time, a young woman fell towards him, and he almost pulled out his weapon in fright.

But then he realized that it was not an attack, and the woman was hit by the surging crowd.

"Yes, I'm sorry!"

The woman grabbed Alex's gray coat and tried her best to keep her balance.

But before Julia could catch up to help each other, the woman fell to the ground and disappeared into the crowd.

Some people were chanting some commands, and the stern male voice was distorted by the loudspeaker.

Instinctively, Alex and Julia changed their direction and rushed to where the sound source was.

Soon, they saw the people who had just made the sound. These people were wearing gray uniforms, leading the crowd to evacuate in one direction.

Seeing these people appear, Alex breathed a sigh of relief. He recognized these people-these people were the local militia.
