"This is ultimately not our home, child." An old Orc patted Shan Lu's shoulder and said wistfully, "They have deceived us too many times, so I no longer wish to trust them."
"This time is different. Back then, they deceived us... Now, they only feel pity for us." Shan Lu watched groups of Orc warriors disembarking and spoke to the elder.
This elder was a chieftain of their tribe, a stubborn man who firmly believed that no humans were good.
Of course, later his opinion underwent a slight change when he came to the Great Tang, where he saw many well-fed and warmly dressed Orc slaves.
It was his first time seeing slaves being treated so well. Here, the heads of slave labor even lived better than some of the Orc elites in the Orc Empire.
This had somewhat altered his perception of humans, yet he still didn't believe they would provide the Orcs with an untouched paradise, a place that could sustain millions of his kind.
