175: Chapter Hero Gaguras

A few minutes later, Gajulas seemed to have made a major decision, directly kneeling on one knee:

"I am willing to serve the Lionheart Kingdom. If King Arthur is not at ease, he can sign a slave contract with me!

I believe the combat power of a Legendary Expert is still very tempting.

Conversely, if you wage war, you will only gain some wealth.

Your Majesty, what do you think of this condition?"

Gajulas's decision was very attractive to ordinary people.

After all, the Orc Royal Court's territory was barren and not very valuable, but he, a Legendary Expert, was different.

On the Continent of Gods beyond the Doreen Peninsula, a kingdom needs at least two Legendary Experts to be established, and that's considered weak.

Having three Legendary Experts is only considered average, and there is only one Legendary Expert difference between a weak kingdom and an average one.

From this, one can see the weight of a Legendary Expert.

Therefore, for Gajulas's decision, ordinary people would consider it carefully.

Unfortunately, he met Arthur, someone who cheats.

For Arthur, overthrowing the Orc Royal Court would yield at least billions in wealth, enough to summon dozens of Legendary Experts.

So, this condition was not valid for Arthur.

Although Arthur greatly admired Gajulas's spirit of being willing to be a slave to protect his country.

After all, Gajulas was a Legendary Expert; as long as he left the Doreen Peninsula, he could live freely and unrestrained anywhere.

Yet now he was willing to be a slave!

But admiration was just admiration. Realistically, leaving the Orc Royal Court would be all harm and no benefit to Arthur.

So, facing Gajulas's hopeful gaze, he could only shake his head expressionlessly:

"The Lionheart Kingdom does not lack Legendary Experts. Your condition is not enough!"

Hearing that even this condition couldn't move the people of the Lionheart Kingdom, including Arthur.

Gajulas was utterly despairing for a moment, his lips slightly parted, but he didn't know what to say.

The hall immediately fell silent.

Since Arthur was not moved by his conditions, Gajulas knew the fate of himself and the Orc Royal Court.

Only death awaited them.

Thinking of this, Gajulas, who had been kneeling for a long time, changed from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both legs in the astonished gazes of Arthur and the others, looking at Arthur with resolute eyes.

He said in a low voice:

"Since that is the case, I know I cannot leave the Royal Capital alive. I can surrender, but I have one request: please do not slaughter my people on a large scale!"

In fact, with Arthur's caution, fearing that the Orc Demigod would disapprove, he originally did not intend to massacre the orcs on a large scale, but rather to exile them to the Continent of Gods.

Even so, Arthur, looking at Gajulas's words, was filled with emotion for a moment. Such self-sacrifice for righteousness could indeed be considered a hero!

Unfortunately, Gajulas was an orc!

Even if a slave contract could be signed, Arthur still dared not keep such a hero who sacrificed himself for the orcs.

Because for a hero who is not afraid of death and bravely sacrifices himself, a slave contract does not have much effect.

A slave contract can only control the life of the enslaved person; the master can kill the slave with a thought, but cannot control their thoughts.

Humans and orcs are enemies, whether on the Doreen Peninsula or the Continent of Gods. Arthur could not guarantee what actions Gajulas would take for the orcs in the future, and this did not align with his way of dealing with the world.

So Arthur had already decided in his heart that Gajulas must die.

To allow Gajulas to leave peacefully, Arthur simply stated his plan:

"I can agree to this condition!

However, there is one thing I must make clear to you: the Orc Royal Court absolutely cannot remain on the Doreen Peninsula.

In the coming days, I will arrange ships to move all orcs, except for you, to the vicinity of the Orc Empire on the Continent of Gods.

Let them seek refuge with other forces. I believe no one would refuse a free population, as the orc territories on the Continent of Gods are far richer in resources than the current Orc Royal Court!

Of course, whether or not they join a force is their own choice; they can also make their own way on the Continent of Gods!"

Hearing this, Gajulas's expression was uncertain, but he finally uttered:

"Thank you, King Arthur, for granting this!"

Gajulas was certainly not satisfied with this condition.

After all, the law of the jungle was even more vividly demonstrated on the Continent of Gods.

And the entire Orc Royal Court had more than a dozen races; the powerful races would be fine.

For example, the Minotaur race and the Tigerhead race would easily find refuge with others on the Continent of Gods, as they were genuine combatants.

There were also some less popular races, such as the extremely fertile Pighead race and the weak Rabbit race, who might all perish after arriving on the Continent of Gods.

Although the result was not very satisfactory.

This was already the best outcome he could fight for.

The Lionheart Kingdom didn't even care about him, a Legendary Expert, which showed how much power it still hid. The fate of the Orc Royal Court was sealed; he had done his best and had no regrets!

With this thought, a look of relief appeared on Gajulas's face.

On the other side, Arthur saw Gajulas's expression and knew he had accepted the condition.

Just as he was considering how to execute Gajulas, this orc hero, a strong fluctuation of Battle Qi suddenly surged from Gajulas's body.

Arthur was startled and immediately activated all five legendary ring of protection on his right hand!

In an instant, five transparent shields appeared around Arthur.

Melita and others also immediately flashed in front of Arthur, fearing an unforeseen event.

But Arthur and the others waited for a long time and saw no further action from Gajulas; he still knelt on the ground with a look of relief.

Suddenly, a streak of crimson blood flowed from Gajulas's mouth, foreshadowing something.

Seeing this, Arthur suddenly thought of something and used his Mental Energy to probe Gajulas, discovering that his life signs were already extremely faint!

It was then that Arthur and the others understood that the sudden burst of Battle Qi from Gajulas was not an attempt to do something bad, but rather an act of suicide.

Realizing this, Melita stepped forward first and carefully investigated.

"Your Majesty, Gajulas's vital organs, including his heart and lungs, have all been shredded by his own Battle Qi. He... is dead!"

Melita paused slightly at the end, apparently deeply moved by Gajulas's suicide.

Upon hearing this, Arthur then put away his shields and slowly walked to the front of the deceased Gajulas.

He observed for a long time.

Actually, Arthur had lied to Gajulas about some things earlier. He did intend to relocate the orcs to the Continent of Gods, but not to have them join other forces.

Arthur originally wanted to replicate Gajulas, a complete replication, even identical in appearance.

After the original Gajulas died, this clone could lead the orcs to develop in the orc territories on the Continent of Gods.

With Arthur's secret support, they would establish a new country!

This would allow Arthur to gather more information and even make a fortune by trading with the orcs.
