183 Hopeless

The impromptu tribe meeting came to an end. All of the orcs were left with mixed expressions.

Some were happy that Ed not only returned but also that he brought with him some good news. It was unfortunate that some of their comrades had died but ultimately that wasn't enough to sour their mood.

As for others… they were extremely reluctant to part with their settlement. At the same time, Ed's overwhelming strength left them with a deep sense of awe and admiration. They couldn't choose NOT to follow him over nothing but a simple building.

Some orcs lingered around the plaza and although wary, began to chat with Ed and Dakgu. Normally they wouldn't pay Dakgu a second glance but given that the young kid would not only be a part of them in the future but was also endorsed by Ed they had to treat him preferably even if subconsciously.
