Yabi Village.
After changing his environment, the tiger-headed man Kito looked around and saw a somewhat familiar environment around him.
He is back!
Compared to the lush greenery of Hope Village, their Orc Kingdom is relatively flat due to its geographical location, and has distinct dry and rainy seasons.
It was okay during the rainy season, as all the territories had basically no worries about food and drink. But it was different during the dry season, as the entire land was extremely dry and supplies began to be scarce. During the dry season, the occasional special weather was actually a benefit to them.
Therefore, during every dry season, in order to plunder some resources, a particularly large number of orcs would be dispatched during territory wars, and the sieges would be particularly fierce. The more fierce the siege, the more casualties there would be.
His father died fighting for the territory in a territory war, but despite this, the compensation from the territory to his family was snatched away as soon as it was received. His mother worked hard to raise him, but died when he just grew up and could repay her.
Since then, he has no family.
Even though he later became a warrior, he never thought about fighting for the territory.
Later, he was hired by chance, which led him to another life.
...
...
The days in Hope Village were so happy that he hadn't thought about Yabi Village for a long time.
When he returned now, his previous resentment towards the territory and the Tiger King had faded a lot.
Because he knew that these past events were no longer important in his life.
Thinking of this, the tiger-headed man let out a long sigh and headed towards the gate of the territory.
Kito came back alone from outside. The orc soldiers guarding the city looked at him and didn't say much.
After all, there are quite a few tiger-headed people in the territory, and Kito was very low-key in the territory before, so not everyone knows him.
And Kitto had no intention of revealing his experience of being hired. He still remembered the task assigned to him by the lord!
Soon, Kitto entered the former territory.
Yabi Village is still a relatively prosperous place in the orc territory. After all, the tiger-headed people have a relatively high status among the orcs.
Among the five beast kings in the royal capital, there is a tiger king.
The current orc lord of Yabi Village is one of the descendants of this tiger king. Although the tiger king has many descendants, he has not treated his descendants badly and also provides them with support.
With the support of the Beast King, the orc lord of Yabi Village naturally lived a good life.
But he was also an ambitious man. He knew that if he wanted to stand out among his many descendants, he had to develop his territory well, so he put a lot of effort into building his territory.
Then, Kitto found a pub and sat down as if he was familiar with the place. He chose a more remote location so as to least attract other people's attention.
O'Neill and the others who live in the same territory with him have been back for so many days. There must be news whether inside or outside the territory.
So he first checked to see if there was any news about them.
After ordering a beer, Kitto drank it slowly.
As he drank, he suddenly felt that he missed the rice wine from Hope Village.
That's much stronger than this beer.
Kitto drank and listened to the orcs' gossip in the tavern.
As he listened, Kitto actually heard some related news.
Especially when hearing O'Neal's name, everyone's attention was focused on this group of people.
"Do you think O'Neill and his gang really went to the human territory? They are really brave. Aren't they afraid of being sold out by humans?"
"Yes! And they brought their families with them. I don't know what kind of rice soup the human territory gave them."
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's right! And he has been unwilling to talk about the news of that territory. It's obvious that he is protecting it."
"The Lord is furious! He has sent a team to chase them, but we don't know if they can catch them."
"I'm afraid not. They left so many days in advance. It would be too late for the Lord to catch up with them after receiving the news."
"Come to think of it, O'Neill and the others' actions were quite covert. How come they were exposed all of a sudden? It's been several days."
"That's right! It's normal for orcs to migrate between territories. If they feel uncomfortable staying in one territory, they can go to another. Who would have thought that they would migrate to the human territory?"
"By the way, I'm curious, how did the other party know?"
"I heard that it was said by a pig-headed man who went to the human territory like them."
"If the human territory is really that good, why did the pig-headed people betray it?"
"I heard that the pig-headed people in the human territory are too lazy. They take the money for nothing and don't work. They are not stupid, so they are definitely not happy about it!"
"Pig-headed people are lazy."
"Up to now, you still haven't told me where the human territory is. Do you think our Lord will handle this territory war?"
"That's not clear. It's hidden very well."
"In fact, I know that guy O'Neill. He is not bad at all. He can afford to support several wives and have many children. If the human territory was not good enough, he would not go there."
"But it's still weird for orcs to go to human territory."
“…”
After hearing this, Kitto basically understood the whole story.
It’s still that pig-headed Paul who’s causing all this trouble.
Not only did he instigate his territories to attack Hope Village, but now he is even trying to instigate Abi Village.
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Kitto's eyes.
But it soon calmed down.
No matter what, it's good news after all.
O'Neill and his team have successfully left Yabi Village.
But the reason why I haven’t contacted the territory in the past few days is probably because there are pursuers behind us!
I just don't know if they are doing well?
Thinking about it, Kitto drank the beer on the table and then prepared to move to another place to find out more useful information.
**
On the other side, the village of Danmant.
Compared to the low-key tiger-headed man Kito, Achilles is much more at ease.
Compared to the situation in Yabi Village where there is a clear distinction between the strong and the weak, the atmosphere in Danmant Village is very warm.
The kobolds are smart and they are more united.
Because in this village dominated by gnolls, in addition to gnolls, there are also orcs of other races, but they all like to live a stable life and will not cause any trouble in Danmant Village.
Therefore, as soon as Achilles entered the territory, someone greeted him.
"Aqir, you're back! Where have you been this month?"
"Going out to work." Archer said simply, and for the time being he had no intention of exposing the fact that he was employed by the human territory.
We haven’t found out any news about Lucas and the others yet!
As a result, after Aqir said this, the other dog-headed man's eyes lit up, "Wow, did you come back from the human territory?"
Aqir was stunned, his voice was a little stuck, "How do you know?"
After saying this, Archie felt a little annoyed. Why did he blurt it out?
"Lucas and the others told me about it when they came back! They said it was a great place there, and they not only took their families with them, but also a lot of warriors! They said they were going to the human territory to work and earn money, and when they come back next month they will bring their families wages, and also bring everyone delicious food. The food in the human territory is really delicious!" As he spoke, the dog-headed man licked his lips with a look of aftertaste, then looked at Akil, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Did you bring any food back? For example, dried meat, ice, dried fruit, various cakes, or that hamburger?"
He listed them one by one, and seemed to be getting more and more greedy the more he talked.
When Archer heard the previous content, he sighed in his heart.
Lucas is indeed worthy of his name!
Then, Aqir took out a piece of dried meat and handed it to the dog-headed man in front of him, "Here you go."
"Thank you!" The dog-headed man continued, "Lucas mentioned when they left that they would set out with the tiger-headed people. Having a companion on the road would help them deal with danger. But I heard that the tiger-headed people's territory, Yabi Village, was very angry when they knew they were going to join the human territory, and they sent people to chase them."
The two territories were not far from each other and had exchanges with each other, so news from each other soon spread.
Archer listened and couldn't help frowning.
"But you shouldn't worry. After you went to the human territory, you seemed to become stronger. You even leveled up by 2 levels." The kobolds looked at him with envy. Lucas was able to persuade others, not only because he brought back those good things, but more importantly, their levels had all been raised by one to two levels. You know, they had only been away for more than a month!
"After all, we are hired by others. We have to go out and kill monsters every day. The more monsters we kill, the higher our level will be." Aqir said modestly, "In addition to levels, we have also unlocked many new skills!"
"Isn't that tiring?"
Are you tired? Aqir thought back to the days in Hope Village, and then shook his head firmly. "We have a relatively fixed working time, and we have free time after work. We usually go out together to enjoy a variety of delicious food, which is different every day, to reward ourselves. As for the extra training time in the training camp, it is because we don't want to fall behind others. The soldier team we are in is not only us orcs, but also many undead and humans. Those undead are higher in level than us and fight hard. As for humans, their strength is lower than ours, but they are too competitive. If we don't move and don't know how to improve ourselves, they will soon catch up with us. How can we do that! What if we are driven back without any help to the territory?"
He has become accustomed to life in Hope Village and would never leave, so what does it matter if he tries harder?
Listening to Archer's words, the kobold looked at him with an indescribable look in his eyes.
Is it so joyful to work for human territory that you can’t bear to leave?
But I do feel a little envious in my heart. Doesn't his reluctance prove that he is living a good life in the human territory?
The next moment, the dog-headed man invited him earnestly, "Would you like to go to the fighting arena to practice and see how much you have improved?"
His current level is the same as Achilles', but Achilles was defeated by him in the past.
"Okay!" Archer nodded without hesitation.
I have learned so much in Hope Village, and I have to vent my anger.
After a while, the two went to the fighting arena together.
There are many kobolds fighting in the arena.
The purpose of this fighting arena is to allow the orcs in the territory to settle personal grudges and practice against each other. There will usually be more powerful orcs watching on the side to prevent anyone from getting killed.
Achilles and the other man appeared on a fighting stage in the arena, and many people's attention was focused on them.
As soon as they got on stage, the two of them started fighting together.
When orcs fight, there is never any other external force. They just use their fists directly, fist to flesh, in a pure contest of strength and physique.
When the two fists collided, the ogre felt a different kind of surging power in Achilles' body.
The whole person was shocked and took several steps back.
"How did you become so strong?" The kobold said in disbelief. With a higher level, his strength shouldn't be that much higher than his.
"Hehe, maybe it's because we ate well." Archer said.
In Danmant Village, they could not eat and drink freely. The most eaten thing was animal meat, which was the source of their strength. But in Hope Village, they could eat more, not only animal meat, but also other things, such as rice and vegetables.
I heard from those humans that white rice is the most important element for the human body and people will be unhappy if they don’t eat it.
Indeed, as he ate the normal meals in Hope Village, he felt that his strength was growing stronger day by day.
The kobold listened to what Archer said with a look of surprise and a little envy.
"Forget it, I won't fight you anymore. I can't beat you."
Then the kobold jumped off the stage.
At this time, Aqir said to the dog-headed people watching the battle below the stage: "Is there anyone who wants to challenge me? Is there anyone with a higher level than me?"
What Archer said seemed a bit worthy of a beating.
Soon, some gnolls came on stage, all of whom were slightly higher in level than Achilles.
But in the end, they were all defeated by Achilles' brute force.
More and more dog-headed people gathered together.
For a while, Achilles was the most popular person.
Even though he was defeated by a kobold two levels higher than him in the end, no one could deny that he was very strong.
Finally, when Aqir came down from the stage, the first dog-headed man said, "If I have the chance, I will also go to the human territory where you are to take a look."
"Wait until next time Lucas comes back! Come on! You won't be disappointed."
"So when are you going back?"
"It's about time to leave. It seems like there's nothing interesting to see here." Archer said directly.
After this trip, there is a sentence that best reflects his feelings at that moment.
Things are different and people have changed.
From now on, Hope Village is his territory!
Can't wait to get home.
The kobold looked at the impatience in Achilles' expression and fell silent.
He had just experienced this scene two days ago...
**
While Kitto and Achir successfully completed their mission to gather information, the orc group led by O'Neill and Lucas, who they were trying to gather information for, did encounter trouble on the way back to Hope Village.
