"Mama! Mama!" A little Orc girl shook the small ears on top of her head, hugging her mother tightly amidst the crowd.
The female Orc looked weathered, appearing much older than her actual age. She picked up her child, a look of apprehension on her face.
The place was in utter chaos, with Orcs everywhere, soldiers carrying weapons all around, strict shouting echoing, and cries of children and women filling the air.
"Sir! I beg you! My child can work too!" At the front of the line, a woman clutched her child, pleading tearfully with the soldier blocking the way.
The Orc soldier seemed somewhat impatient; he had seen too many women dragging their families around like this today.
"Get away! Check the notice! Only adult males and females! No children!" The soldier waved his arms, shouting loudly.
It wasn't that he didn't want to be a good person and let this woman through, but the orders he received didn't allow him to do so.
