46: Chapter 46 The First Human Traitor

Upon seeing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu felt his pants grow damp, and a murky yellow liquid dripped from his suit trousers.

Who wouldn't be terrified?

This Orc Thousand-Commander had evolved into an Orc Chieftain, snapping up the heads of Japanese Lords one by one.

This was what it meant to eat people without spitting out the bones; his teeth were so good he swallowed the bones right along with the meat, reminding one of the cartilage in grilled meat skewers.

After devouring ten Japanese Lords, the red orc began to evolve and expand, transforming into an even more terrifying existence.

And after becoming an Orc Chieftain, his intelligence seemed to have increased significantly.

When the Orc Chieftain looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu, he displayed an expression of disgust.

"Disgusting."

It wasn't just that Tokugawa Ieyasu was a fifty-year-old middle-aged man whose flesh didn't taste good.

Furthermore, he had been so terrified that he had soiled himself, emitting a peculiar stench; why would an Orc Chieftain want to eat something like that?

Having evolved, it now possessed a certain level of intelligence.

The Orc Chieftain pointed his finger toward the distant Floating Island, that island suspended in mid-air.

There was no helping it; the Floating Island was simply too large!

The current scale of the Floating Island was several times that of the Forbidden City; even from a hundred kilometers away, one could see the island floating in mid-air.

The Orc Chieftain spoke up: "That looks like a prime piece of land. Tell me what you know! I will spare your life and allow you to become my slave."

At this moment, the Orc Chieftain placed a battle-axe against Tokugawa Ieyasu's neck and reprimanded him: "Speak quickly!!"

The orc's roar, mixed with saliva and a foul stench, sprayed onto Tokugawa Ieyasu's face.

He crawled on the ground, trembling, and shouted in a panic: "I'll talk! I'll talk!! There is a human lord on that island. They are very strong, with at least several thousand people, and they also have very powerful generals."

Facing Tokugawa Ieyasu's words, the Orc Chieftain picked him up as if he were a chick.

"You confessed so quickly. Why should I believe you?"

Looking at the orc before him, who had evolved to be over two, nearly three meters tall, Tokugawa Ieyasu cried and shouted: "He is my sworn enemy; he snatched away my daughter and my wife."

Once these words were spoken, the orcs erupted into earth-shaking laughter.

Your wife and daughter were both snatched away by someone else?

The orcs bared their mouths full of yellow teeth, their laughter and mockery incessant.

"You are a coward."

"Trash!"

"Your wife and daughter were carried off by someone else and became his playthings; you truly deserve to die."

"We orcs despise trash like you the most!"

The orcs continued to mock Tokugawa Ieyasu, but he could only lower his head, enduring the humiliation.

Survival was paramount; he had already abandoned his wife and children, and being mocked by orcs was nothing; he had long since discarded his human dignity.

However, the Orc Chieftain put him down and laughed loudly: "A damned person like you should live, live on to feel this torment! You should experience the pain of losing your wife and daughter forever."

"Therefore, I will absolutely not kill you; instead, I will make you my pet."

Saying this, the Orc Chieftain took out a dog collar and placed it around Tokugawa Ieyasu's neck.

Seeing the collar around his neck, a normal person would naturally be enraged and would fight to the death, unable to endure such humiliation.

But Tokugawa Ieyasu revealed a fawning smile, just like a Shiba Inu sticking out its tongue, squinting and smiling.

"Lord Chieftain, you are right; a person like me truly deserves to die, I really do deserve to die."

Led by the dog leash, Tokugawa Ieyasu knelt at the Orc Chieftain's feet with a fawning expression.

However, a notification popped up before his eyes.

[Do you wish to become a servant of the Flame Tribe and the Flame Chieftain?]

[If you agree to this condition, you can survive, but your act of betraying all of humanity will be announced globally.]

Seeing that even the system had popped up this notification.

If he wanted to survive, he would be mocked by all of humanity.

Clearly, the system was already hinting that he would rather die than become a human traitor.

But Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had no sense of shame and only wanted to live, chose without hesitation—to become a servant of the Orc race.

The next moment, a global announcement rang out.

[Global Announcement: Japanese Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu has surrendered in battle, becoming the first lord globally to betray the human race. The following is the broadcast footage.]

At this moment, all lords globally could see a screen appear out of thin air.

The content playing on the screen was footage of Tokugawa Ieyasu wearing a dog collar, kneeling at the orc's feet.

He was just missing a wagging tail and a lolling tongue, just like an old Shiba Inu fawning over its master.

This scene was also seen by Xu Xuan.

He saw the footage of Tokugawa Ieyasu acting as a dog for the orc, and Xu Xuan frowned.

"Mio, Mrs. Tokugawa, look at your good husband and good father."

As Xu Xuan spoke, the mother-daughter pair, Tokugawa Mio and Tokugawa Yoshiko, also saw the footage of their father defecting to the enemy.

It was too shameful!

It was too humiliating!

Mio clenched her fists, gnashing her teeth: "I actually have the blood of such scum flowing in my veins. I am ashamed; from today on, I will abandon the surname Tokugawa..."

"Lord Sect Master, I beg you to bestow a surname upon me; I want to cut ties with this human scum."

Saying this, the high school girl wearing a sailor uniform knelt before Xu Xuan, requesting that he bestow a Han surname upon her.

Xu Xuan raised an eyebrow. Want a surname bestowed? It couldn't be given to her that easily.

"If you want a surname bestowed, that will depend on your future performance."

When Xu Xuan spoke, Mio was not surprised; on the contrary, she was very excited and cupped her hands: "Lord Sect Master is right! Mio will definitely work hard!"

Because Xu Xuan saying this meant she still had a chance to receive a bestowed surname.

As for Mrs. Tokugawa, she covered her face in distress: "When I married him at twenty, it was because I valued him being the president of a large company; I never expected him to be this kind of person."

This Mrs. Tokugawa was clearly over a dozen years younger than that old scoundrel Tokugawa.

At over thirty years old, she still looked quite charming.

Seeing Tokugawa Ieyasu acting as a dog for the orc, this mother and daughter were also filled with indignation.

They felt it was too humiliating.

At this moment, Mio thought of something else: "Lord Sect Master, given the personality of my traitorous father, he will definitely bring the orcs to attack us! We should strengthen our defenses."

"Hmm, you don't need to remind me; I am aware of that."

Xu Xuan nodded, knowing that those Japanese were all petty; since he had surrendered to the orcs, he would definitely bring an orc army.

Especially since his Floating Island was truly too large; the target was too big, and it was impossible to hide.

If there were powerful enemies nearby, they would definitely come to attack him at the first opportunity.

He also had to be prepared.

Thinking of this, Xu Xuan raised his hand and summoned his lord panel.

[Lord: Xu Xuan]

[Status: King]

[Civilization Progress: Shang and Zhou]

[Population: 11,450 (of which 4,995 are male).]

It was evident that this was truly an era where men outnumbered women; due to the war, the death toll of males was too high, and the gender ratio was imbalanced.

However, fortunately, Xu Xuan had a policy of universal military service, and almost all the women were archers.
