Two Worlds: Snickers Bars for Cow Maids

Finally, I walked out of the dark ruins and was greeted by the dazzling sunlight.

Zhang Luan couldn't help but squint his eyes and raised his hands to cover them.

After fighting in the dark for so long, he found it difficult to adapt to the sudden sight of such strong light.

A breeze blew across my face, bringing with it a strong smell of blood.

Compared to the cold and damp air in the ruins, the air outside is even more disgusting.

When Zhang Luan's eyes finally adjusted to the light, the scene before him shocked him so much that he was speechless.

The entrance to the ruins is like a Shura field.

Hundreds of orc corpses lay on the ground, their heavy armor torn apart, revealing hideous wounds.

The bodies of bounty hunters wearing animal furs and bone ornaments were scattered around, holding all kinds of strange weapons in their hands, with their eyes open in death.

The smelly blood meandered across the ground, forming a scarlet stream.

The strong smell of blood mixed with the stench of the rotting corpse made people feel nauseous.

From time to time, vultures circled high in the sky, making creepy cries.

A few scattered bodies of cat-eared guards dressed in black also lay on the battlefield. They still maintained their elegant postures even in death.

The surviving cat-ear guards were cleaning up the battlefield in an orderly manner and carefully collecting the bodies of their companions.

"You just said that we were delayed because of something. Are you referring to them?" Zhang Luan asked in surprise, pointing at the corpses on the ground.

"Yes," Mira lowered her head, a look of guilt on her face. "We were ordered to guard the ruins and not allow anyone to enter. However, the owner's identity changed during that time, so we don't know if the order still applies. This gap allowed Grum and the others to rush in."

"But we stopped other followers who wanted to rush in together. There were so many of them, so it took some time. Fortunately, the master is fine, otherwise we would have been guilty of a great sin!"

"Don't be ashamed, you have performed very well!" Zhang Luan smiled awkwardly, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

These are not ordinary guards, they are simply an elite assassination team!

Such a large-scale massacre was caused in a short period of time. The combat effectiveness of these cat-eared people was far beyond his imagination.

Looking at the hell on earth before him, Zhang Luan couldn't help but feel fortunate that these horrible killers were on his side.

Zhang Luan left Edwige and Mira behind to take charge of the cat-ear tribe's relocation, while he himself rode back to the city of Arcadia with a dozen surrendered orc soldiers.

These soldiers have all witnessed Zhang Luan's methods, and as Grum's private soldiers, losing their master is equivalent to losing their home.

Now that Zhang Luan was willing to take them in, they were naturally grateful and swore allegiance to Zhang Luan.

And for Zhang Luan, they are indeed still useful.

The sun sets and dusk falls over the city of Arcadia.

The torches at the city gate had just been lit when suddenly there was a burst of hurried horse hooves.

The soldiers guarding the city immediately became alert, their hands on their weapons. But when they saw that the newcomers were the orc cavalry of Deputy City Lord Grum, they immediately put away their guard.

"Those are the cavalry of Deputy City Lord Grum. Pay attention!" the captain shouted.

The soldiers defending the city quickly lined up, stood straight, and stood respectfully on both sides of the road.

The horse team galloped past, raising clouds of dust.

The leader was Grum's personal guard Kagu, but in the position where Grum should have been, it was Zhang Luan.

"What's going on? The deputy city lord's guards are following Knight Zhang Luan?" A soldier guarding the city scratched his head in confusion and muttered softly.

In the past, when Zhang Luan entered a city, he would ride on his horse and move forward slowly, for fear of disturbing passers-by.

However, Kagu, who was leading the way at the front, did not slow down at all and ignored the pedestrians on the road, as if they were just grass and trees on the roadside.

The surrounding orc cavalry followed Zhang Luan expressionlessly, accustomed to such brutal behavior, as if it was the most common thing.

Passersby saw this aggressive team from afar and retreated to make way for them.

Some vendors hurriedly packed up their stalls and hid in their shops.

When pedestrians on the street saw this scene, they didn't dare to say anything and could only stay close to the wall to avoid it.

Chapter 158 Take as much as you can

Zhang Luan's target was Grum's mansion.

Although he did not inherit Grum's property, all the slaves became his.

The first priority now is to rescue Freya from inside.

The cavalry galloped along the wide cobblestone road and finally arrived at Grum's deputy city lord's mansion.

The entire manor covers a vast area. The outer wall alone stretches for hundreds of meters. It is made entirely of high-quality white marble, which glows with a warm luster under the moonlight.

On both sides of the manor gate stands a huge statue of an orc warrior, holding a spear and looking majestic.

The open space in front of the door is paved with exquisite colored stone bricks, which are spliced ​​into complex geometric patterns.

The water in the fountain pool is gurgling, and in the center of the pool is a golden mermaid sculpture, gracefully spewing clear water.

The main building is a three-story luxurious villa with an architectural style that combines human and orc features.

The large arched windows are inlaid with stained glass, reflecting a dreamy glow in the moonlight.

The roof is decorated with exquisite animal head reliefs, each of which is lifelike.

The fact that he could occupy such a large piece of land in the city and build such a luxurious mansion showed Grum's power and arrogance.

The mansion seemed unusually empty at this time.

Chapter 142

Since Grum took most of the guards away to attack the ruins, there are only a few scattered patrolling teams of orc soldiers in the entire manor.

"Who dares to break into the deputy city lord's residence!" Suddenly seeing a group of cavalry rushing over, the patrol team immediately became alert, raised their weapons and surrounded Zhang Luan and others.

In the light of the fire, their ferocious faces looked particularly hideous.

"I'm here to claim the slaves and property that belong to me!" Zhang Luan said condescendingly while sitting on his horse.

His tone was calm, yet carried an unquestionable authority.

"This is the property of the deputy city lord, it doesn't belong to you!" The leading orc soldier roared, waving his weapon with a grin.

Zhang Luan turned his head slightly and looked at Kagu beside him: "Kagu?"

"Leave it to me, sir!" Kagu grinned, and the big knife in his hand flashed a cold light in the firelight.

With a "puff" sound, the head of the leading orc flew high up and blood gushed out like a fountain.

The other cavalrymen also drew their swords, and screams rang out one after another amid the flash of swords and sabers.

In a blink of an eye, the ground was littered with corpses, and the blood glowed black in the moonlight.

"Sir, please accept your property!" Kagu wiped the blood off the blade and said respectfully.

"Very good. If the soldiers here are willing to be recruited, they can be recruited. If they resist, they will be killed without mercy!" Zhang Luan's voice was still calm, as if the killing just now had nothing to do with him.

"Yes, sir!" Kagu took the order and led the cavalry to disperse and began to search for other patrols around the manor.

The sound of horse hooves and the clash of armor echoed in the night.

Zhang Luan got off his horse and strode towards the main gate of the manor.

A row of animal-eared maids were standing at the door. They were wearing the same linen maid uniforms and immediately knelt down when they saw Zhang Luan.

"Welcome, Master!" A uniform voice rang out, and the collars around their necks flickered, obviously having sensed the message from the new master.

"Where's Freya? Oh no, where's Luna?" Zhang Luan asked anxiously, only realizing his slip of the tongue as soon as he spoke.

Freya had taken Luna's place, and the slaves were apparently unaware of this.

A girl with white bunny ears knelt on the ground, her ears trembling slightly with nervousness: "I haven't seen Head Maid Luna since Lord Grum took her to the auction house last time!"

"Didn't Grum bring her back?" Zhang Luan's face suddenly turned gloomy, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The torches in the courtyard swayed in the wind, casting eerie shadows.

Intermittent sounds of fighting and screams were heard in the distance. It was obvious that Kagu and his men were clearing out the resistance forces in the manor.

"No, it was Lord Grum that day... Oh no, it was Grum and his personal guards who came back. In the past, Maid Luna never left Grum's side!" The bunny-eared girl lowered her head, her long white ears trembling with nervousness, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito.

Zhang Luan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Got it! Tell all the slaves here that I am the master now. Bring all of Grum's property to the courtyard, pack it up, and prepare to follow me!"

"Yes, master!" The rabbit-eared girl replied hurriedly, and quickly pulled the other maids away.

Zhang Luan stood at the entrance of the hall, looking at the busy scene in front of him.

The slaves in the manor poured out from every corner and carried their belongings into the courtyard like ants moving house.

The crystal chandeliers reflected brilliant light in the moonlight, gold and silver utensils were piled up like mountains, and the jewelry was sparkling.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from behind the manor.

Hundreds of animal-eared slaves were rescued from prison. They were half-naked, with only a few pieces of rags barely covering their private parts.

In the moonlight, the scars and stains on their bodies can be clearly seen, some even have whip marks.

The slaves huddled together, their eyes filled with fear, like frightened deer, not knowing what fate awaited them.

"Is that all?" Zhang Luan asked, looking around.

In fact, the number of slaves in Grum's mansion was much greater than the total number of slaves in Zhang Luan's village. He did feel a little guilty when he asked this question.

The girl with white rabbit ears knelt on the ground, her hands twisted together nervously: "We don't quite know either, we just entered the mansion!" Her ears trembled with nervousness, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

The slaves sorted and stacked the property in an orderly manner, including gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, exquisite furniture... Gloom's wealth was far beyond imagination.

"Is there no one among you who has been working in the mansion all the time? Or even more than a month will do!" Zhang Luan asked anxiously, his hands on his hips.

The female slaves below looked at each other, their ears and tails drooping, revealing expressions of panic.

There is not a single elderly person who has worked here for more than a month!

The white bunny-eared girl knelt on the ground and explained in a trembling voice, "Before, only the head maid Luna had been with Grum all the time. And it is said that many female slaves only stayed here for a month at most, and the shortest was toyed to death on the same day. We have only been here for a week, so we don't know the specific situation!"

As she spoke, the bunny-eared girl's body trembled constantly, her long ears pressed tightly against the back of her head, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.

It was obvious that he was recalling some terrible past event, and even his voice was filled with tears.

"This Grum is indeed too cruel!" Zhang Luan said with a frown.

Suddenly, the sound of orderly footsteps came from the gate of the manor. It was a town army!

The author says:

Author's words: I've been busy lately, so I can only update twice for now. If I have enough time next week, I'll update more frequently to compensate.

Chapter 159 Li Gui meets Li Kui

A mixed army of humans and orcs, dressed in standard Arcadian armor and holding torches, rushed in. Their movements were coordinated and they quickly surrounded Zhang Luan and his group and all the slaves.

In the light of the fire, the armor gleamed coldly and the spears stood in rows, forming an impenetrable encirclement.

A short figure slowly walked out of the crowd.

He was a goblin only a little over one meter tall, but he was dressed extremely luxuriously.

The deep purple silk robe was embroidered with gold thread, and on each finger was a ring inlaid with gemstones, which gleamed dazzlingly in the firelight.

"Isn't this Knight Zhang Luan? How did you break into Lord Grum's mansion?" The goblin took two steps forward, his voice shrill and piercing.

Several human soldiers immediately knelt on the ground, bent their backs, and formed a step.

The goblin stepped on their backs, walked up step by step, and finally stood on the broad back of an orc soldier. This makeshift "human ladder" allowed him to look at Zhang Luan at eye level.

"This is Lord Fitz, a knight and owner of the slave auction house!"

Kagu introduced quietly from the side.

"I'm here to accept the slaves and property that rightfully belong to me! All of this complies with Imperial law, so there's nothing for you to worry about."

Zhang Luan's tone was calm, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

Fitz stood on the human ladder, his green eyes flashing with cunning.

He analyzed slowly in a shrill voice, "Wait, let me guess. You and Lord Grum had a slave master duel, so these slaves are so obedient to you and so easily recognize you as their master. This means you defeated Lord Grum! But Lord Grum didn't show up here, which means you killed him!"

At the end, Fitz's voice suddenly rose, as if he had caught something.

The jeweled ring on his finger gleamed eerily in the firelight.
