“What?”When Isabelle said this, not only the orcs, but even the human soldiers who had come with her were stunned, their faces full of surprise. Even they themselves thought that Isabelle had brought them here to use force against these orcs. Not only did she want to exterminate these young orcs, but she also wanted to expel them from the country…

“Add… join you?”Bane swallowed his saliva and was the first to react.

“Yes…”Isabelle nodded.

Bane turned around and looked at the people around him. A group of remaining leaders of the other tribes gathered around and discussed with each other. After about 15 minutes, a group of adult orcs nodded with a conflicted look on their faces, bane acted as a representative and continued to negotiate, “We’ve discussed it. If we can ensure that these children do not have a shortage of food, we’re willing to become slaves. However, we can’t be separated from these children. We must at least know their safety at all times…”. “…”

After Bane’s words, a group of human soldiers nodded and thought to themselves, so that’s how it is… …

It turned out that the adults wanted to take these orcs as slaves and use these children as hostages. Although it sounded a little despicable, it was a reasonable method!

They did not have the slightest bit of sympathy for these orcs. In the past, every time these orcs invaded the northwest, they would take the opportunity to take away the humans who had not yet returned to the city and go to the grasslands to work as coolies, furthermore, the humans who were taken away would usually die from exhaustion. Now that it was their turn, everyone felt as if the heavens had reincarnated.

Moreover, these elite orcs weren’t like the low-grade goblins and gnolls. It was very difficult to successfully take them as slaves. It was even difficult to capture them alive. Most of them would commit suicide in order not to be humiliated when they were defeated. Thinking about how there would be so many elite orcs as slaves in the future was quite exciting…

However, just as the soldiers were thinking happily, Isabelle shook her head.

When Bane and the others saw this, their faces were gloomy as they gripped their weapons tightly. “Humans, don’t get carried away. For the survival of our children, we are already willing to accept humiliation. Letting them eat their fill is our bottom line. If it’s not possible, then let’s Fight!”!

As they spoke, the orcs also tightened their grip on their weapons. Their eyes revealed their determination to fight to the death!

“I didn’t invite you to join us as slaves…”. Isabelle shook her head. “I sincerely hope that you will join us and become a part of this city. Every one of your children will be able to enjoy the same treatment as the residents here. There will be sufficient food, shelter from the wind and rain, and warm quilts. The same goes for all of you. Join the Gondolin Army and become our soldiers. You will also enjoy everything that soldiers deserve, including military promotions!”

“This…”as soon as he said this, everyone was stunned again. They had never expected such an outcome!

“Duke! !”Wesker immediately frowned behind him, he had interacted with those orcs for the past few days. Although he felt that these orcs were actually quite good-natured, forthright, generous, and did not like scheming, they were even more honest than ordinary humans. In his heart, he did not want these people to become lowly slaves. However, he had never thought that these people would become a part of their city…

As for the humans who did not get along with the orcs, they were even more incomprehensible. After all, in their countless years of memories, the Orcs were all enemies! !

Although Isabelle did not turn her head back, she could feel the doubts and unacceptable attitude of the human soldiers. However, she knew that she had to settle this matter today.

In fact, if it was just the orcs in front of her, it would be the best way to make them slaves. After all, what she needed to win over now was the soldiers of the Gondolin. However, she could not do that considering the situation in the future!

If this batch of orcs became slaves, what would happen to the population that came from the northern plains in the future? All of them would become slaves? From the perspective of future development, the majority of their population would probably be orcs. Using a small number of humans to rule over a large group of orcs as slaves was obviously unstable, as their power grew larger, this unstable nature would become more and more serious. Later on, due to racial discrimination and classism, social conflicts would become more and more difficult to resolve. Furthermore, such a system of racial superiority would be established now.., what would happen when they arrived on another planet to replenish the population?

These few days, Isabelle had seen many examples of the development of the federation’s civilization. It was not that there were no examples of successful racial class systems in the federation’s civilization. Among them, the demon civilization was a system of complete racial superiority, however, this racial class system was obviously not suitable for the development of the Zu’an civilization. After all, the Zu’an civilization wanted to encourage genetic evolution so that everyone would have the spirit to strive for it, to change their own fate!

Therefore, from the very beginning, Isabelle had to strangle this kind of racial concept in the cradle, so that everyone would dilute their own race’s identity and make genetic evolution their goal!

“Are you serious?”Bane was stunned, obviously still in disbelief.

“Naturally…”Isabelle nodded very seriously. “With our current strength disparity, there is no need to lie to you…”

That was true…

The orcs looked at each other and nodded. In this situation, they were like meat on a chopping board. The other party could cut them up however he wanted. There was no need to lie to them.

“Sir, how can this be?”Finally, voices of opposition came from the army…

“Why not?”Isabelle turned to look at the general who spoke.

Due to Isabelle’s power, the general who had questioned her felt a little weak when he saw her. But in the end, he mustered his courage and said, “They… they are orcs. How can humans live with Orcs?”

“Humans…”Isabelle lowered her head slightly, then, she slowly took off her armor, revealing the white scales on her shoulders. Under the sunlight, those scales sparkled, making people dazzled. Some orcs from the Ogg plains were stunned, thinking to themselves, “So she has mutated too.”.

“Can we still be called humans now?”Isabelle sighed.

“This…”all the soldiers froze, they looked at the mutated parts of their bodies. Some were bear paws, some were snake scales, and some had wings like birds. It was a bit far-fetched to call them humans now.

“Don’t cling to your previous identities, soldiers…”. Isabelle said seriously, “The world is suffering an unprecedented disaster. From the information brought by these orcs, we know that terrible things are happening in the northern plains as well as in our empire. All the living beings are suffering. What we need to do now is not to dwell on the hatred of the past, nor to eliminate the dissidents. Think about it, soldiers. You came all the way to this city because the mutation was not accepted by the residents of this city. Why are we united now?”

The soldiers were all stunned. After a long while, a few generals replied respectfully, “Because you, sir, are the one who made us unite…”

“It’s not…”Isabelle shook her head.

Facing this denial, all the soldiers were stunned again.

“Even without me, you will still be able to overcome the estrangement and unite together. Perhaps you will have to suffer more setbacks and tribulations, but the result is certain. You have to ask why, because whether it is the mutated refugees who came here or the local residents of this city, they all have a common goal…”. “…”

“Uh… What?”All the soldiers looked at Isabelle and asked in a daze.

“Live on!”! Isabelle’s voice became more powerful. “You came all the way here and endured the doubts and discrimination. The local people were able to overcome the barriers and finally stick together. The reason was to live on, to survive in this disaster, in this damned world! “Either for yourself, or… “Isabelle looked at the children of the orcs. “Or for their descendants …”

Everyone froze on the spot, and the orcs who could understand human language were also stunned on the spot. Obviously, Isabelle’s words hit the softest point in their hearts, and it was also their most sincere wish.

Everyone was persuaded by Isabelle’s words and revealed a smile. “For the sake of our most humble wish, everyone, please give up on your previous racial beliefs and your previous grudges. The world is becoming worse and worse, and we have to unite all the forces that can be united to survive. I know that this process may not be that easy, but I hope that you can give it a try, for yourselves and for the people that you care about…”. “…”

Everyone was moved. After the orcs heard this, they looked at each other. The humans also looked at each other. Obviously, although they were moved by these words, it was not easy to accept them. Isabelle was not anxious, she knew that everyone needed time to digest. She also believed that in the end, both sides would make the right choice.

In the end, after a long period of silence, Wesker slowly withdrew his sword and was the first to walk towards the beastmen camp.

Seeing that a human had taken the initiative to walk over, all the beastmen were stunned, and their expressions became wary.

After Wesker walked over ten meters, he finally took a deep breath and said, “I, Wesker, am the commander of the Gondolin Garrison, the former lieutenant general of the Empire…”

After saying that, he quietly waited for a reply. After the orcs looked at each other, Bane, who had been chatting with Wesker the most during this period of time, slowly stepped forward, he thumped his chest and performed the tribal etiquette, “I, Bane Tietou, the current chief of the Buffalo Clan…”

As the two solemnly introduced themselves, more and more soldiers slowly moved forward. When Isabelle saw this scene, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief and said with relief, “What a good start…”.
