Chapter 327: First Encounter with the Orcs

Rand watched the flowing rivers and wandering clouds on the land of the White Kingdom.

Tall mountains, steep valleys, grasslands, riverbanks, fields, and mountains.

A few days was not enough for Rand to visit every mountain and land in the White Country, but he still made a lot of investigations on the environment near the main roads.

The six men rode horses, and although they were not running, their pace was still quite fast. After a few days, they arrived at the White Kingdom near the Green Shadow Principality, where they could see some orc wolf cavalry wandering around.

This area is already bare.

Since the White King's orders were well obeyed, the local nobles, after the autumn harvest, pulled all the civilians in the villages, their grain and their livestock into the castle.

The castle was crowded, but no one complained because outside the castle were orcs.

If you stay outside, you will surely die, because humans are also on the orcs' diet.

It's already very dangerous here, but for these six people, it doesn't matter.

If the orcs come out in large numbers, they can run away.

If the orcs send out a small force, then we can capture them and torture them to see if we can get anything out of them.

That night, the few of them once again chose a place near the water to camp.

The water source has been tested and is very clean, but it is still boiled before consumption.

The White King had also seen the teachings of Rand's Mother Goddess sect and knew that their beliefs required water to be boiled before drinking, so he chose to respect Rand's religious beliefs.

Rand tilted his head to look at the White King. "Apart from anything else, I personally suggest that you boil water before drinking it when you are alone in the future."

"You want to obtain the right to preach in the White Country?" The White King raised his chin, "I can authorize you."

"Although I do have the intention to spread the gospel of the Mother Goddess," Rand said in a charlatan tone, then returned to the serious point, "But now I am just simply suggesting this."

"Does it really work?" asked the White King.

"Yes." Rand looked back at Ellie. "Ellie should have calculated the probability of disease occurrence in Crescent Territory. I can show it to you next time."

Rand did not suggest that the White King implement it throughout the White Kingdom. Boiling water consumes a lot of fuel, and ordinary citizens of the White Kingdom need this fuel for heating.

We will talk about this kind of thing after the White Country becomes wealthy.

For example, after the White King uses the money he earns from the nobles to build farm tools and roads.

Maybe he could slowly implement some policies that had been proven in his territory of Rand.

After dinner, Ellie suggested going to the river to take a bath.

Several high-ranking members of the den also felt that they had not showered for a few days and planned to go with Ellie.

The White King also planned to go, but was stopped by Rand.

"What do you want to do?" Rand stared.

The White King remembered that he was a "man".

Watching several beautiful "maids" and his sister go to take a bath together.

The White King sat down with Rand and waited for the ladies to finish their baths.

Rand picked up the wine glass and went to the horse to get a small bottle.

Rand tightened his collar very ceremoniously and put on white gloves.

In a glass with gin, add a little syrup and squeeze a little lemon juice.

"Due to limited conditions, we can only do this much." Rand smiled.

Being a bartender was his part-time job when he was a college student in his previous life, and it is also his hobby in this life.

The White King picked up the wine glass.

Rand stopped him when he suddenly remembered something.

Rand asked, "Can you chill it?"

The White King flicked the metal wine glass with his fingertips, and the glass was immediately stained with a frosty color.

Then Rand and the White King clinked their glasses.

The White King's pale red lips looked much redder due to the wine.

"It tastes good," commented the White King.

Rand was also very satisfied with his craftsmanship. He shook the wine glass and found that the chilled wine tasted very good, although it was a cool autumn day and chilled wine was not very suitable.

But it fits the mood.

In the wild, by the river, under the moon, in the autumn wind.

And there are beauties.

It's a different kind of scenery.

After several ladies finished washing, it was the turn of the two men.

In fact, if the White King hadn't been there, Rand could have taken a bath with the higher-ups in the hideout, but now it's not bad to admire Ms. Berlan under the bright moonlight.

There are many beautiful sights in this world, but the White King Bolan definitely stands out among them.

It is not far from winter now, and the river water is very cold, but for people with the physiques of Rand and Bolan, taking a wild bath is not risky.

Rand looked at Ms. Bolan's back. The originally purple-black, narrow, claw-shaped wound had become much lighter and shorter. It was estimated that it would heal soon.

Noticing Rand's gaze, Ms. Boland did not react.

She had been seen naked a long time ago, and Rand had seen her in very embarrassing situations. Now she was used to it.

Rand could watch if he wanted, and she would wash herself.

"Do you want me to rub your back?" Rand asked.

"No need." White King Bolan sneered.

He dipped the towel he brought with him into some water, put it over his back and cleaned his back.

This would definitely not be as comfortable as having someone to help rub her back, but she couldn't let Rand touch her.

What will happen otherwise?

Brother-in-law seduces brother-in-law? When we returned to the camping site, the leaders of the hideout had already lit a bonfire and were warming themselves there.

It was rare for Lisa to stay away from the group and sit with everyone. However, she didn't speak or chat with anyone, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Lysa is a powerful and wise elf. Most of the time, her attitude makes people feel arrogant. Even though she is wearing a maid outfit now, she looks like a king.

Everyone in the den trusts Lisa and is willing to back her up, but no one knows how to communicate with her.

They talked a lot about work, but at other times, only Rand and Lisa communicated more.

Lysa's golden eyes seemed so bright in the darkness that they seemed to glow.

The White King Bolan didn't care about this arrogant maid. Some nobles just liked this kind of tone.

But with this appearance, is it an ancient elf? It seems unlikely.

No words after nightfall.

Since Rand was about to get married and the White King was present, Rand did not lie down with Ellie or sleep with the maid.

And because there were enough tents, Rand didn't have to share a tent with his brother-in-law.

Rand briefly heard a bear roar during the night, but paid no attention to it.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When I was woken up by Elsa in the early morning, I saw bear paws being cooked in the camp.

Rand has never eaten bear paws.

"Is it okay to eat something greasy like this in the morning?" Rand asked.

"A gift from nature," Ellie commented.

The bear paw tasted okay thanks to the spices.

Amid the stickiness of the bear's paws, Rand heard the distant howling of wolves.

Wild wolf?

Rand turned his head.

It's wolf cavalry.

Orcs are massive, and some even have tusks sticking out from their lips.

The skin varies from oily green to light green.

Five of the orcs had dark red lines on their bodies. They had no hair, eyebrows, or beards, and looked a little haggard.

The orcs' muscles were as tangled as if they had exploded, but at least the wolf riders had no extra equipment except for a long sword, and the decorations on their bodies could only barely cover some necessary parts.

There is no armor, and the wolf mount is very ferocious, but there is no horse armor like humans.

Judged as light cavalry, they have no armor and can be easily killed with arrows.

There is only one squad of orc wolf cavalry, and they are still short of members, 11 riders.

Surround the six people on the field.

The captain of the Orc Wolf Riders was very cautious. Although he thought humans were extremely stupid, it was unlikely that they would go out for a picnic and seek death at this time.

But they have to deal with it.

The one with the highest status among the six was naturally the White King Boran, but it was Rand who gave the order.

Rand said, "Form a formation. Don't kill too quickly. Let me get familiar with their attack pattern."

The 11 orc wolf riders were divided into three groups. The first group rushed forward and cast a net, but was cut by Olenna's blade.

One of the orcs that rushed over was killed, and the rest passed by the small formation formed by six people.

Then the second team rushed up and killed two more. After the master died, the wolves would pounce on and bite, and they were much more ferocious than mounts like horses.

Afterwards, the muscles of the orc with dark red lines on his body began to swell, and the dark red lines on his body began to flow.

"Leave two alive," Rand said.

As Rand finished his words, the wrists and ankles of an orc without any dark red lines on his body were frozen.

After the attack of the orc with dark red lines on his body ended, another orc with dark red lines on his body was also controlled by the ice.

The rest of the ordinary orcs were terrified and wanted to escape, but they all died from Lysa's bow and arrows.

The orc with dark red lines on his body and exuding the breath of purgatory was extremely violent. His strength increased a lot, and he was not afraid at all when facing the team of six.

But the gap in strength is too big, and such a gap cannot be bridged by using the power of Purgatory.

Even if the great demon from Purgatory really came to this world, could he defeat the White King? "Just torture me." Rand walked to the person who was deliberately left alive.

Two orcs, one with infernal power and one without.

Then Rand discovered that he could not understand Orcish.

"Oleanna and I know a little bit." Ellie and Olenna are indeed top students.

Served as an interpreter between Rand and the orcs.

Torture is nothing more than a prisoner's dilemma, a language trap and physical torture.

Rand certainly wasn't good at it, but he wasn't in a hurry.

After repeated verification, some information was finally obtained through torture.

These two orcs did not know the tactics of the main force of the orc army, they were just low-level warriors.

But Rand knew how the orcs gained the power of Purgatory.

Take some medicine.

Orc priests would brew this potion in the tribe.

But not all orcs will drink this potion. Those who are physically disabled or elderly are given priority.

Obviously, the orcs are also well aware of the price they will pay to obtain the power of Purgatory.

The orcs are clearly fighting for survival.

But so are humans.
