"Hey, did you hear... did you hear... did you hear anything?"
"Siron seems to have been attacked by... humans..." A rhinoceros beastman said to the tiger beastman beside him during a break in the dungeon.
The tiger-beastman was startled upon hearing this and urgently asked, "Really? Humans? What about the rations?"
Unlike the four human cities, the orc tribes numbered in the thousands.
They are extremely scattered and can be found in various parts of the world.
The number of orcs in each region is roughly between one million and ten million.
The largest settlement barely reached a scale of one hundred million orcs.
Shiron is a tribe that is neither too large nor too small, with an estimated 3 million orcs.
but.
Given the power disparity between the orcs and humans.
An orc can easily take on more than a dozen human players of the same rank at the same time.
Orcs start at level 15.
The weakest level is 15, but even the weakest human player still has a level 1 player.
They wanted to conquer a city with three million orcs.
Even if three hundred million humans launched an attack together, they might not be able to defeat them.
Not to mention.
Once a large-scale war breaks out, other orc tribes will rush to their aid as quickly as possible.
How many humans launched the attack?
"It seems... to be four..."
"Four hundred million?"
The rhinoceros-beastman looked at the latest intelligence that had been sent back.
It shook its head.
"Four billion?"
"How could the human race mobilize so many troops in such a short period of time?"
"Moreover, what can they gain from attacking Xilong after expending such enormous resources?"
The fox-beastman quickly waved his hands: "No..."
"No, no... that's not what I meant."
The tiger-beastman slammed his fist on the table, angrily shouting, "What does that mean? Can you stop stuttering?! Damn it, you're driving me crazy!"
He's always been impatient.
But his partner turned out to be a slow-talking stutterer.
However, it was precisely this stutterer who possessed firsthand information.
"It's...four...four people."
"There were only four people attacking... attacking the Xilong tribe."
-------------------------------------
Xilong's army has already besieged the city.
Yes, four men are at the city gates.
Lu Cang and the others had arrived at the entrance of the main gate of Xilong City.
The location where everyone is standing.
It is precisely the boundary that almost all magic and attacks cannot reach at this stage.
If we take one more step forward, an attack will be coming our way.
Meanwhile, the walls of Xilong were already filled with countless orcs, who stared intently at the four-man legion below.
"Option 1: Blast open the city gates."
"Option 2: Enter the city and open the door from the inside."
"Then let's go with Option 1!" Bai Lu said, lifting the book with a hint of excitement in her voice.
"No, I was just kidding. There is no Option 1."
"LuLu, you can only make a move in this siege after you have my permission."
Upon hearing Lu Cang's command, Bai Lu was stunned: "Huh?"
“This is the city we are going to conquer. Your destructive magic is indiscriminate and affects the terrain.”
"You can destroy the building with just one spell."
"I'll have to pay for the repairs."
The terrain can be restored, but the buildings within the city cannot be directly restored...
Once it's broken, it will cost money to repair, and whose money to pay depends on who rules the city.
In the fantasy world, cities can be occupied in the name of a guild.
From then on, the city was under the management of this guild.
However, the guild is also responsible for the expenses of this city.
The city's expenses are terrifying; it can be described as a money-burning machine.
Of course, there are also many benefits; the income generated by the town can also be converted into income for the guild.
Furthermore, it allows you to set entry fees and other similar charges.
It is used to earn extra money from players.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, occupying a city will be more beneficial than harmful, and extremely profitable!
Um……
Barring unforeseen circumstances.
If a devastating earthquake were to destroy the entire city of Bailu, that would be a different story.
The cost of repairing an entire city would be astronomical.
At least for now, Lu Cang can't afford it.
"Brother, why did you still suggest Option 1? Isn't that simply impossible?"
"Proposing two solutions makes us seem like we have everything under control, doesn't it?" Lu Cang replied with a faint smile.
"Let me let you know that I have a backup plan. If one plan fails, I can still execute another plan. Moreover, always keeping yourself in a state of having a backup plan is also an essential course for mages."
"But you're not a mage..."
"So I'm teaching you how to play a mage."
"Fine, fine, so I'll just watch this siege unfold?"
Lu Cang smiled and said, "To put it another way, you're my trump card."
"Hmm~ that's more like it." Bai Lu nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that her brother's emotional intelligence had improved quite a bit since then.
Then, Lu Cang looked at Leng Qingying beside him: "Plum Blossom 13, I'll leave the breakthrough into the city to you. The lever to open and close the city gate is in the guard room."
"Heh, I don't know who you're calling."
Leaving behind a single sentence, Leng Qingying's figure vanished from behind the Shadow Swift Bird.
This mount is a new one she bought from the mount shop.
"That female!"
"She's charging at us!"
"Ridiculous! He actually dared to charge in alone!"
"Are you kidding me! Don't you respect us at all?!"
The orcs were already filled with fear, wary of the terrifying and devastating magical attack.
What they were met with was a human female charging towards them.
Whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Countless arrows rained down from the sky!
Countless orcs fired their muskets!
Gunshots rang out one after another!
Now that Leng Qingying has entered the attack range.
The orcs' ranged attacks naturally followed!
[Five-Star Combat Skill - Assassin's Intuition (Zero Sense) (LV: 2)]
Buzz—
In Leng Qingying's perception, everything stood still.
Everything in the world slowed down, extremely slowed down.
The arrow, which should have been swift as lightning, moved slowly through the air like a snail crawling.
Even Leng Qingying herself was completely frozen in place.
[Assassin's Intuition (Zero Sense) (LV: 2) - When this skill is activated, your perception of the flow of time in the outside world is accelerated, as if time in the outside world has slowed down by 100 times. It can be turned on and off at any time, with no cooldown.]
[LV2: When this skill is activated, you gain a heightened sense of danger, allowing you to more accurately detect attacks that pose a threat to you.]
When a five-star assassin skill was obtained from the Blood Beast Ruins, Leng Qingying did not choose a damage-type skill.
Instead, they chose a support status skill.
She's not like Bai Lu, a class that relies on powerful skills to deal damage.
Instead of relying on a five-star damage skill to deal damage, it's better to find ways to improve your skill level.
Her career inclinations also mean that her responsibilities involve dealing with complex environments.
Instead of just throwing out skills like Bai Lu does.
The Zero Sense skill can enhance Leng Qingying's ability to deal with all situations, and can also indirectly increase damage by strengthening the control of details.
Whoosh!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
Thousands of arrows fell to the ground, sending dust flying everywhere.
Leng Qingying moved swiftly, her dagger cutting and parrying with incredible speed.
Ding ding ding ding!
In a rapid exchange of attacks, Leng Qingying slashed through one incoming arrow after another and deflected countless bullets aimed at her.
Leng Qingying moved through the battlefield.
It created a Z-shaped, flowing, phantom-like effect.
As Leng Qingying rapidly approached the city wall, other phantom clones gradually appeared behind her.
Lu Cang's reminder came to Leng Qingying's mind.
"Plum Blossom 13, your biggest weakness is that you can't summon the illusion of your talent if you don't land the first hit."
"Why don't you buy a few universal goblin summoning scrolls? That would make it much easier for you to activate your passive ability."
"Yes, I will buy it. Also... my name is not 13 Plum Blossom."
With Leng Qingying's talent, no one can outmaneuver her when it comes to underhanded tactics.
If it weren't for the fact that the phantom is limited in distance from the original body, it wouldn't be able to leave.
Leng Qingying could simply sit in Maple City, find a wooden dummy to chop down, and leave Phantom to go out and do odd jobs.
There will never be any danger.
But even with distance restrictions, it's still quite shameless.
Seeing Leng Qingying coming to kill.
Many melee orcs also slid down from the city wall.
The inherent characteristics of the orc race mean that they do not suffer much damage when falling from great heights.
Their natural claws allow them to cling to the city walls and descend slowly.
Soon, a number of melee orcs had gathered in front of the city wall.
"She's the third-ranked assassin among humans! Don't let your guard down! We've already suffered enough today!"
"Take this seriously!"
"Don't let a mere four humans break through our defenses! If word gets out, we'll all be a disgrace to our race!"
Upon hearing the command from the city wall, all the beastmen tensed up.
They set up their formation, preparing to meet Leng Qingying's sudden attack.
Looking at Leng Qingying, whose momentum showed no signs of abating.
The melee orcs guarding the city walls couldn't help but swallow hard.
Depend on……
Is this really a human?
Let's forget about that white-haired human woman.
How come this assassin is so outrageous!
That's a ranged attack from all the orcs on one city wall!
There were tens of thousands of arrows and tens of thousands of spells!
While the distance was great and the accuracy of the strikes was low, it still resulted in a carpet bombing.
But it's absurd that such a dense offensive could evade all attacks!
Are all humans this twisted?

To answer the question about the number of teammates, the number of members and teammates will continue to increase. As for other designs... I won't spoil them, as I've always believed that spoilers diminish the surprise.
