BXBX NOVEL Chapter 24 Trust
Moku held his chin and thought.
Humans don't immediately have mana controlling power when they are born, they have to convert mana flow into constellations to gain mana controlling power.
This explains why there are humans who are weak and being beaten badly by the orc ancestors.
But the development of humans from previously only using weapons and their body strength like the orcs of today to becoming superhumans who are able to control mana takes a long time.
The process of developing their technology began long before the emergence of the orc civilization. So it's only natural that humans are more advanced in terms of weaponry than orcs.
If you follow the actual path, like humans in Moku's old world, human have to go through the stone age, copper and bronze age, then iron age. Humans use fire as the main ingredient in their technological development.
But humans with the discovery of the flow of mana, constellations, and the ability to control mana make their concept of technological development develops in a different direction.
If the humans in the previous world needed other humans to build something then the mage in this world could do it themselves.
So it is possible that technological developments in a certain area have reached the modern age while in other places it is only in the iron age.
The disparity of this technological development is because mages can do what 10,000 other humans cannot. They didn't need a lot of worker just to create a dam, they only needed one mage with earthbending abilities.
It is like a country that already has nuclear reactors, heavy equipment, and other development technologies while other countries still use hoes and carts.
Orcs who had just discovered dragon prana would have no way of competing with humans who had mastered mana for a long time. They need a long time to catch up with them in weapons technology.
Why was the orc race left behind?
If the orcs' bodies were stronger than humans, then in the days before humans controlled mana the orcs would triumph. In that's the case orc technology shouldn't be left behind this far, with humans as slaves and female donors then there's no way that dragon prana has just been discovered by Moku alone.
Did orcs and other monsters only exist after humans?
Question after question and possibility after possibility popped up one by one in Moku's mind.
The girls just kept quiet and looked at the pensive Moku.
"Moku what will happen to the other girls?" Anna suddenly asked.
All the girls listened because this was what would happen to them. Moku and the orcs did not treat them like the fairy tales and stories they often heard.
Even so, sometimes an uncertain future is scarier than a bad future.
Starting from Moku's attention which was always on Anna and did not pay attention to them it caused fear and doubt in the hearts of the girls.
They were afraid that if the good treatment and attention was only focused on Anna, while they would be treated like orcs treating women like those in fairy tales and stories they often heard.
They were afraid that one day Moku would throw them out of the tent and chain them again, then they would be raped and treated like cattle by other orcs.
It was these fears that made them hate Anna. They envy Anna who is treated special by Moku.
"I will return them to the tribe" Moku replied casually.
"What do you mean by that? Can you telepathically connect to the other girls so they can understand what you're saying?" Anna asked.
Moku saw Anna's eyes, he had actually been thinking about this for a long time. Initially Moku wanted to return the girls to the tribe after they understood how to treat women properly.
But the dangers of the mage and their hectic training regiment meant that Moku didn't have time to start teaching the orcs about it.
They were busy to quickly getting stronger. Every day the training after training that the orcs had to do was getting tougher.
Many of them suffered severe injuries such as fractures or destruction of internal organs such as kidneys.
It was only because of their endurance, fast metabolism, and regeneration ability that none of the orcs died during training.
Dragon prana is the only way Moku finds to make orcs get stronger quickly. However, the weight of the procedure and the requirements for evolution made Moku decide to postpone the orcs doing it.
The girls except Anna finally become neglected. Moku then decided to take on the task of continuing the orc race's lineage alone. But once again, unfortunately, he found a fact that made him unable to do that.
Moku connects his telepathy to the other girls.
"They will be placed in a clean tent and the bigger than this tent.
They will be given a diet of sweet roasted meat and fresh fruit every day as you have usually eaten.
You will only serve one orc per day, if you are pregnant then you don't need to have sex with an orc until you give birth" Moku explained.
"Then what is the difference between them and prostitutes? And what is the difference between this tribe and a brothel?" Anna raged with a red face.
"Hmm? They don't get paid?" Moku answered by tilting his head.
"It's even worse than a whore!!" Anna exploded.
"Anna! my hands are tied! What do you want from me? That's the best thing I can do for them!
You know how the orcs treated women before I became chief?
They were treated like cattle even worse than that!
They will be chained and unable to move,
They eat only raw meat and animal carcasses,
They would live in broken tents with dirt floors in the cold Bog forest,
They would sleep together with animal carcasses, rotting flesh, orc sperm, and their own dung,
They will be raped more than 10 times a day by different orcs and sometimes they have to serve several orcs at once,
I change all that and go against my tribe's habit of treating women.
All I ask of them is to give birth to our babies!" Moku explained firmly.
"I don't care what you change, but I won't let you treat the other girl like slave or whore!" Anna didn't hesitate.
Moku became furious, the aura on his body changed. Moku who has evolved and can control the biofield in his body has the ability to make someone faint just from the look of his eyes.
"Anna! don't take me lightly! you just put insult to injury! do you think I wont bring back orc old treatment to woman?! don't be naive! don't throw away my kindness to you all!"
Anna was not afraid, she fought Moku's aura with only her courage, "If you do that! Then when you come back to this tent again tomorow, you will see my corpse with your baby in her stomach! I dare you to try me!" Anna looked defiantly!
Moku was getting angrier, the aura emanating from his body made the tent pole squeak like it was about to break.
Before Moku could do something he would regret, a soft stutter voice came from behind him.
"C..ca..can I give my opinions?"
Clare said raising one hand.
Everyone in the tent turned to look at her.
"N—"
"Yes, you can!" Anna cut off Moku who wanted to refuse.
Moku turned to Anna, they looked at each other before Moku relented and nodded to Claire.
Claire tried to calm her trembling body by taking a deep breath.
Widya who was beside Claire squeezed her hand hard, Claire who suddenly spoke made her worry.
Claire just hold Widya's hand gently then smiled to calm her down.
"Moku, I know you as orcs tribe chieftan is having a hard time and must put your tribe above us who are just a human captives.
But, can you give us a little leeway. Like let us choose whose orcs will be our partner. Then our partner will be the only orcs who can have sex with us." Claire said.
Five pairs of eyes looked at Claire in surprise. They never expected that Claire would give such an opinion.
If Moku agreed with Claire's opinion then the orcs would be able to continue their lineage and the girls would get a chance to have a choice. At least even though the girls still had to have sex and give birth to orc babies, they had the right to choose who they would do it with.
But Claire's opinion was like an insult in Moku's eyes.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA choice? Do you think we have a choice? Or the animals you kill and the trees you cut down have a choice?
Don't sue me with hypocritical eyes of you humans! Just like us, animals and plant, you have no choice!
And believe me if you refuse, attempt suicide, or run away then I will lock you in a room naked with the horny orcs.
And believe me you will not be able to get out of that room until your womb is no longer able to accommodate our babies.
Trust me! because this is not a threat but my promise as orc chieftain!" Moku was so angry that he couldn't control his aura.
Every girl in the tent felt Moku's aura. They all shivered and felt like they were walking under a blizzard.
Claire who was looked directly at by Moku's red eyes felt it more. Her teeth chattered and her bones froze.
She felt like she was in a big snow storm.
