Afterwards, Thor and his team directly rescued the tied-up mercenaries.

The mercenaries were rescued, and each of them showed an expression of relief. Then, one by one, they started to complain.

"Captain, you are finally back."

"Some orcs came to rob people and took all the orcs away."

"They also robbed us of all our belongings. Those who refused were severely beaten."

“…”

As they spoke, they also hoped that the captain would put the blame on the orcs instead of holding them accountable.

They can't afford it!

More than two hundred orcs, even up to five-digit gold coins, I can’t afford the compensation even if I sell them!

They also didn't expect that the good job of just staying and watching would turn into a death warrant in the blink of an eye.

...

...

These fifty-plus mercenaries were really scared. Many of them had just joined the mercenary team. Who knew what would happen if they lost so many preys?

Thor also saw their fear. Thinking of the various losses he had suffered along the way, he also realized that he could not blame these "new recruits" and said directly: "This matter has nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry too much."

Hearing this, the group of people breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Captain."

Now, apart from thank you, they really don't know what to say.

"Now, can you tell us which direction those orcs went, or did you hear any other noise behind you?" Thor continued to ask.

"We were blindfolded, and they obviously didn't want us to know where we were going. We didn't hear any noise, but we did hear you coming." Hearing Thor's question, everyone hurriedly responded, but the answers they gave were the same.

Logically speaking, when they were blindfolded, their other senses would be infinitely amplified, and they were indeed listening to each other's movements.

But the first thing they heard was the sound of them walking farther and farther away. They really couldn't tell which direction the other party was walking from. As for the rest, they didn't hear any other sound.

If that was true, then it was possible that the other party deliberately lowered his footsteps and stayed far away from them so that they could not hear him.

After hearing their answers, Thor knew that he would not be able to learn any important information from them.

There was just one thing, a little incredible guess in his mind.

"Where do you think they will go after robbing the orcs?" Thor asked casually.

"Shouldn't they be going back to the Orc Kingdom? Where else can they go except there?" The mercenary who answered spoke subconsciously.

Thor smiled.

If they really were going back to the Orc Kingdom, why would they be afraid of them seeing their whereabouts!

Then there is only one possibility, they are going... another direction.

As Thor thought about this, his eyes turned to the territory of the human kingdom.

Did this group of orcs go to the human kingdom?

Once this thought came to his mind, Thor could no longer suppress his thoughts.

It was also at this time that a noise was heard from behind them.

Philip and Bridges returned with their men in a panic.

Many of them were injured, but what was more eye-catching than the injured were those people who looked like the mercenaries at the scene. They were only wearing underwear, their hair was messy, and their faces were dirty. It looked like they had obviously encountered trouble.

See Thor's

They really didn't know what to say. Should they say that they were beaten to a pulp by the orcs? Not only did they not catch a single hair of theirs, but many of them were robbed of everything.

Although many mercenaries will not take all the gold coins and other silver coins with them when they go out, life-saving potions and equipment are indispensable.

All of these were robbed, and their loss was really huge.

When they thought that it was they who instigated Thor to chase the orcs, which led to such a disaster, how could they not feel guilty?

He became even more panicked when he saw that the mercenaries originally stationed here had been robbed and the more than 200 orcs who had been captured had disappeared.

Is Thor going mad?

"You're back?" Thor asked calmly, "How's the situation?"

Bridges and Philip listened, moved their mouths, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Thor also waited patiently.

After a while, they both spoke.

"I fell into the orcs' trap and injured many people on the way. It was also my fault. The equipment you gave me disappeared at the beginning and I didn't keep it..."

"We took a detour to the rear, and they had quite a few orcs lying in ambush, but they didn't seem to want to kill us. They led us in another direction all the way. If we were caught by them, they would just rob us of all our belongings."

Thor heard what the two said, but remained silent.

"Thor, I'm sorry. It was all our fault. Otherwise, our losses wouldn't be so heavy this time." Then the two men apologized.

After saying this, the two of them lowered their heads slightly, which was also their attitude of admitting their mistakes.

"It's not your fault. I agreed in the end." Thor looked at the attitudes of the two, paused, and finally spoke.

There is some anger towards others, but it is impossible to blame everything on them.

He also agreed.

No one expected that this group of orcs would be so difficult to deal with.

No matter how many means are used, the source is still so unclear.

Bridges and Philip were really relieved to hear Thor's response and that he didn't blame them.

Then, he continued, "We failed this time because we were not prepared enough. Next time, we will not let them trick us so easily."

People are fighting for their dignity. Even if they have to spend their savings of many years, they must capture these orcs. If they don't torture them, they will not be able to vent the anger in their hearts.

"Next time? I'm afraid I won't be able to meet them for a long time." Thor said coldly.

"What do you mean?" Both of them were confused.

How come they don’t understand what the other person is saying?

Thor repeated his previous guess and finally said, "They may have entered the human kingdom, but I don't know which territory they went to."

"Go to the human territory in the human kingdom? Impossible? Who would dare to shelter orcs? Orcs are so barbaric and cruel." Bridges couldn't help but say.

"Maybe there really is a territory to accommodate them. They are not as aggressive towards us as other orcs. Although I don't want to say it, they did have many opportunities to kill us during the whole process, but they didn't. First, they may not intend to offend us to death, and second, they are involved with us humans, so they are unwilling to kill us." Philip analyzed, "The most important thing is that they set traps and competed for our property and equipment. The former is definitely something they can't think of out of thin air with their brains, and they may have learned it from others. The latter, taking our equipment is definitely useful, and the most useful is definitely humans!"

Thor listened, glanced at Philip, and nodded: "I think so too!"

"Since they have entered the human kingdom, we should immediately return to the city to gather troops and chase them. We will definitely catch them." Bridges said hurriedly.

He suffered a heavy loss this time, and also lost Thor's key equipment. He must find a way to compensate.

Alas, I can only hope to recover some of the losses from those orcs.

"It's too late! With the speed of the orcs, we won't be able to catch up with them even if we return to the territory and gather our men." Philip couldn't help but say from the side.

The possibility of catching up is too small.

After the two of them finished speaking, they fixed their eyes on Thor, waiting for his reaction.

Thor listened, paused for a moment, and said directly: "Let's go back to the city first! I will go to Master Sinel and ask him to send the monsters to chase them. It doesn't have to catch up with them to do anything, just need to know which territory they are going to?"

"Yes, that's good. They can run away, but the territory behind them can't run away." Bridges and Philip said in surprise.

Senior is a high-level summoner. He can control many monsters and tracking a person is no problem for him!

With this decision, the group began to head towards the city of Delisha.

Just walking on the road, thinking of their fruitless return this time, they couldn't help cursing in their hearts.
