“Then what is there?”
“It’s better if you see for yourself. acid Come.”

Everyone swallowed hard.
“What the hell…?”

Not many knew about half-orcs. shadow Most avoided the topic, and their existence was rare.
“My God…”
Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 21: The Scarred Wolf (2) by Indra Translations.
“But the fact that there are so many here… what does that mean?”

“Thanks to what you’ve done today, the orcs will shed even more blood. album I promise you.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 21: The Scarred Wolf (2) by Indra Translations.

“Thank you.”
