It-kaya's nose in the chest, but she still wasn’t allowed to sleep. With the words: “Wake up Sonia,” - the Kiun tickled, a little snub-nosed, Nastya's nose with a feather. She struggled for a while with a sneeze, but the struggle was hopeless, after a few seconds the roof of the tavern was announced in a loud female way “Aaaaaaaaa!”. Climbing up on her elbow, Anastasia looked at her lover with displeasure:

- The villain! why woke up?

- How much can you sleep?

- Until I sleep enough!

- Whoever gets up early, he does everything.

- We say: "... that God gives"

- Here! Another reason to get up!

- Wretch ... how to get down from this kalancha !?

- There is a hatch over there that leads to the upper floors ... - Anastasia abruptly interrupted him:

- And yesterday it was impossible through the hatch !? It was necessary to lay the loop Nesterov?

- What? What loop?

“Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ...” “Nastya became seriously angry, even knocked It-kai in her fist,“ You are a damn! Why fly dragged !?

- Romantic ... And by the way, there is a hatch, in another building. We jumped out of that main building of the tavern - and pointed to the building opposite, there was a huge window on the top floor.

Puffing indignantly, Anastasia got up and quickly got dressed. When she turned to It-kai, he was already wrapped in ongu, and mockingly looked at Nastya. Half an hour later they were already sitting in the dining room of the tavern and eating breakfast. Food and snacks served himself the owner of the tavern - orc. He was dressed in soft leather pants and boots to mid-calf. The powerful gray torso was covered with patterned ritual scars and a solid tattoo all over the body, depicting some kind of twisted prominences. Black, brilliant, like olives, eyes unkindly glanced at Anastasia.

- What is he? - Nastya asked, nodding at the orc

- Ah, don't pay attention, he can't stand people, in the last war people cut out his entire clan ... in general, he cannot appear on the territory of the empire - just a slave collar or an embrace of the executioner, which is more likely. But I helped him settle in this gods abandoned corner of the empire.

- And when was this war?

- Three years ago.

- And what kind of war?

- Scum has collected a large force. In alliance with the rebellious ashhulay and subhuman attacked from different sides. Orcs crossed the north and south-eastern border of the empire, the various trolls tribes - the western. At the same time. Separately, they were not dangerous, for each group would be enough for the legion. But the rebellious ashhuly and nonhumans rebelled in the southern provinces, and the main forces were drawn there. In general, there were minor clashes, guerrilla war, while the orcs and trolls were not united into one army. Under the city of Ntakharbad, on the Aralka River, evil spirits broke the legion and devastated the city and its environs. Six legions stopped catching elves and gnomes with Uruk-hayami, and went to destroy the evil. They quickly occupied Ntahnarbad and waited for a siege. They have a lot of grub, thirty thousand inhabitants lived in the city ... and trolls with orcs can eat something with a tinge of human flesh. In general, four legions rushed into the siege to take, and the two rear guards remained, fighting non-human troops. Those like rats naskakivali and fled. These two legions should not have allowed them to unite in a large army. In short, the siege lasted a month, forty thousand people were killed in battles and storming - two thirds of the legions, and all the evil was laid. The subhumans were also slaughtered when they united after all, and tried to lift the siege. Then there were punitive expeditions from the capital. We cleaned the southern provinces of rebellious elements and revolutionary sentiment. Orcs and trolls did not even count - about fifty thousand died. Elves and others - thirty thousand. And in the sweeps a hundred and two civilians of elves and gnomes. Two hundred thousand mean. Then the punitive legions crossed the border and massacred there among the clans of orcs and trolls. In the south almost no one lives now. Desert area.

Nastya did not say anything in response, occupied with thoughts of genocide and the Second World War in her native world. So in silence they finished breakfast, after which It-Kai took Anastasia to a walk in the forest, telling the stories and myths of the empire and the peoples inhabiting a large country on the move ...
