The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Chapter 205: Lurking in Steel Mane City 3

Barrick is already 13 years old. Although he is still one year away from the orcs' adult age of 14, his body shape, appearance and strength are no less than those of adult orcs. Especially after elder brother Colin taught him skills in the past six months, Barrick has developed a sense of heroism.

With the expectations of his sister Jenny and the approval of his elder brother Colin, Barrick walked into the registration office of the recruit training camp in the city for the first time that day.

"Age?" The registration office welcomes every orc who is eager to join the army, but they still have to go through the necessary procedures.

"13 years old," Barrick replied.

"Hmm? Although I admire your enthusiasm for signing up for the army, you are not wanted here until you reach adulthood. Go back and stay for another year, kid." said the orc in charge of registration.

"I'm not a kid, and even an adult may not be able to beat me. My father is a soldier, and I want to inherit my father's honor as soon as possible. I'm already a qualified soldier." Barrick argued.

"Oh? You should know that the rule that only adults can sign up is actually to protect you. Once the war situation on the front line is unfavorable, these new recruits will be needed to go to the front line. At that time, life and death will not be in your hands."

"I'm not afraid of death!"

"That's not OK."

"That's right, kid, why don't you go back to your home and feed on your baby for a year before coming back." The orc standing behind Barrick couldn't wait any longer and said mockingly.

Barrick looked at the orc in charge of registration, then at the other orcs queuing behind him, and said, "How about this, if these so-called adults behind me can't beat me, can you consider accepting me into the camp?"

"What? This kid is young, but he's so arrogant. Everyone knows that when we orcs get a year older, our strength increases a lot. How can you, an underage kid, want to compete with us?" The orc behind said unconvinced.

"Shut up, get out of here if you keep making noise. As for you, kid, go back, this is not the place for you now." The orc in charge of registration was a little impatient.

"Just tell me if you dare to compete with me." Barrick also challenged.

"Sir, please don't stop me. I must teach him a lesson."

The orc in charge of registration, seeing that the situation had come to this, stopped trying to persuade him. It was better to let this kid suffer a little so that no one would want to come to the recruit camp.

Seeing that there was something interesting to watch, the other orcs also stopped and waited for the fight between the two orcs.

"Empty-handed or with a weapon?" Barrick asked.

"Hey, do it with your bare hands. I'm afraid of hurting you." The pig-headed man behind replied.

"Okay, come on then."

The pig-headed man thought that he could knock down Barrick in a few blows with his own strength, but he didn't expect that the opponent dodged in the first round. The kid is quite agile.

He cursed at me and was disgusted that Barrick was avoiding him and didn't dare to confront him.

When Barrick heard this, he also wanted to test his quality, so he started fighting head-on with the opponent. It should be said that Barrick's physical attributes have improved, but he is still lacking in actual combat. Fortunately, the pig-headed man on the opposite side didn't have any tricks and just used brute force.

After the two beasts fought back and forth for several rounds, the pig-headed man was accidentally knocked to the ground by Barrick, and cheers came from the orcs.

"The little devil is pretty good. The pig-headed man on the ground is too cowardly. He can't even beat a little devil."

After the Pig-Headed Man got up, he was somewhat unconvinced and rushed towards Barrick again, but Barrick, who was becoming more and more skilled in fighting, knocked him to the ground again in one round.

This time, the pig-headed man stood up and took it seriously. He said, "You just rely on your greater strength than me. You should know that we orcs cannot go to the battlefield with bare hands. We must use weapons. I think what happened just now doesn't count. We need to use weapons to fight again."

"Huh..." The orcs watching the show didn't believe the pig-headed man's words at all.

However, Barrick was here to register for the new recruit camp normally today, so he had to make an excuse to the orc in charge of the registration. Therefore, he did not pay attention to the pig-headed man's words. Besides, if he compared weapons, he would die more miserably.

"Take out your weapons." Barrick said as he pulled out the iron rod from his back.

Seeing this, the pig-headed man no longer dared to underestimate Barrick and quickly took out his mace. When he saw that Barrick had no intention of taking action first, he rushed forward with the mace.

Barrick blocked the mace with one move, then pulled it back and swung it, hitting the pig-headed man on the waist. The force from the iron stick almost made the pig-headed man spasm.

The pig-headed man's fangs were trembling slightly in pain. This guy is really strong.

However, the pig-headed man did not admit defeat. He swung his mace at Barrick again unwillingly. This time Barrick was too lazy to defend himself. He struck first and knocked him down with a single strike.

Now, the pig-headed man didn't say anything about using weapons or not. He got up, turned around and left, and he was too embarrassed to even mention the matter of signing up new soldiers.

Farewell, Pig-headed Man. Barrick received unanimous praise from the surrounding orcs. The little boy is good and is no less than an adult orc.

Seeing this, the orc in charge of registration did not stop Barrick. After registering his basic information, he gave Barrick the first token and asked him to go back and prepare and enter the camp for training the next day.

The fight between Barrick and the pig-headed man just now was seen not only by the orcs who were watching, but also by two other people.

One of them is of course Colin. After training Barrick for five months, he wanted to see how good he was. Fortunately, Barrick did not embarrass him.

The other one is naturally Shiro, who has been in the camp for more than four months. He clearly remembers how weak Barrick was before, and how he grew into this in less than half a year. It seems that it was the nosy "monkey man" who taught him.

Oh, it seems that I have to be more careful in the new recruit camp in the future and not give Barrick the opportunity to take action.

Barrick, who joined the recruit camp, naturally went home happily. He wanted to tell his sister Jenny and brother Colin the good news.

When Colin saw Barrick's victory, he left early. When Barrick came back, Colin had already returned home.

Colin was very pleased to hear Barrick's confident words, but he felt more that it was time to complete the mission.

When Jenny learned that Barrick had joined the new recruit camp, she was so happy that she didn't even cook a few more dishes. She even stayed in her room alone, muttering to herself for a long time.

Of course Barrick couldn't hear what his sister said, but Colin gave up after listening to a few words. It was probably just something like saying to their dead parents that their younger brother had a promising future and what would happen in the future.

Afterwards, the three of them finished their dinner happily and went back to their rooms.

After returning to the house, none of the three slept. Barrick was thinking more about what would happen after he joined the new recruit camp tomorrow; Jenny was thinking that after solving her brother's problem, she should also think about her own affairs; Colin was thinking about how to use Barrick to investigate the situation in the new recruit camp next.
