Back in the village, Liu Nian immediately went to find Lu Jiaqi.
The two discussed whether they should leave while it was still early.
In the end, Lu Jiaqi agreed with Liu Nian's statement, and she also believed that it would be more reassuring to arrive in B City sooner.
On the way out, he refused the gifts offered by the mercenaries.
They earned their money by risking their lives, and they brought some Tier 1 resource cards and cigarettes and alcohol that they had saved up but couldn't bear to use to express their gratitude to Liu Nian for saving their lives.
Looking at their grateful faces, Liu Nian couldn't help but be moved.
Human hearts are made of flesh and blood, but he still chose to refuse.
He had many higher-level resource cards lying in his own space, but these resource cards were of little use to him, so it would be better to leave them to them.
After explaining to them that he was about to leave, the surviving merchants gathered around as Liu Nian prepared to depart.
He respectfully inquired if he could be given a ride along, and offered to pay for it.
However, Liu Nian rejected all of them.
Having just one burden is bad enough; how can you survive if you add others on top of that?
Moreover, these businessmen's performance last time was truly indescribable, which was the key reason why Liu Nian refused.
However, they can follow behind Liu Nian, as long as they don't get in his way. As long as their safety isn't threatened, Liu Nian can provide them with some protection.
This absurd world needs to function, and businessmen are an indispensable part of it.
With orcs appearing here, Liu Nian felt more at ease getting to a big city sooner rather than later.
As for the night, those green-skinned creatures probably wouldn't dare to make any rash moves. The night-walking monsters should treat everyone equally, right?
Everything that needed to be said had been said; the choice was theirs to make. With everyone thanking her, Liu Nian drove away.
"Was that global announcement you?" Lu Jiaqi blinked her beautiful big eyes as she looked at Liu Nian during the journey.
"No." Liu Nian, focused on driving, gave a perfunctory answer without thinking.
“But everyone says it’s you.” Lu Jiaqi was not giving up and continued to ask questions relentlessly.
“Those people even said you look like Facebook? I didn’t believe them!” Liu Nian still refused to admit it.
Why are you such a gossipy girl!
"You..." Looking at Liu Nian, who was completely unyielding, Lu Jiaqi puffed out her cheeks in anger, looking just like a frog.
After finally letting go of the issue, the carriage fell silent for a moment.
Liu Nian enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. Behind him, several cars chose to follow him to his next destination.
After thinking for a while, they were clearly afraid of the orcs, and being with a powerful expert made them feel more at ease.
The large truck was still blocking the middle of the road, completely obstructing both sides. The cargo in the truck bed had long since disappeared.
Together, they pushed it to the side of the road. Although they were a little scared during the process, the orcs did not appear, which relieved them.
Actually, they didn't need to be afraid. Liu Nian had already sent out ravens to scout the surrounding area, and he only dared to get off the vehicle after confirming that there were no orcs around. However, he didn't need to tell them this.
Despite his nonchalant demeanor, the formidable fighting power of the orcs still alarmed him.
There were only twelve orcs, but after fighting Liu Nian's summoned creatures, the casualty ratio was more than 1:5, and the fallen units included the wraiths.
It seems that the Wraith's 50% physical immunity is like a lottery; after being hit once, it will be taken away by the Orc, which also reflects the Orc's powerful combat strength.
However, this also allowed Liu Nianxin's special skill, Eternal Slavery, to come in handy, as about one-fifth of the fallen undead units were able to stand up again without any loss.
However, there is a drawback: Liu Nian cannot choose which unit to stand up again on his own.
It's important to know that summoning a ghost consumes more mana than summoning a skeleton.
Without drinking magic potions, Liu Nian began to use his miserly talent to save every penny he could without drinking any magic potions.
Without the cooperation of other undead units, this group of orcs could easily break through the encirclement of the skeleton warriors, allowing them to escape successfully.
If there are enough of them, even they themselves might not be able to escape unscathed.
A skeleton with 150 HP and 3-5 defense was instantly killed in one hit. How terrifying is that combat power?
On the way back, I heard from the surviving mercenaries that there were orcs similar to captains here, and their combat power was even stronger.
After pushing the truck aside, the group dared not stop and drove forward, leaving behind only a mess of corpses.
...
Inside the orc camp, Ironfist was restless; his cubs had not yet returned from the hunt.
Given their fighting capabilities, the human guards were no match for them at all. That's why it chose to carry the prey back first, so that they could hone their fighting skills.
Was I wrong? I figured they should have returned by now, but I still haven't seen them.
Could something have gone wrong? An ominous premonition flashed through my mind.
Without hesitation, he went straight into the largest tent.
Without any hesitation, he immediately informed the orc warlord in charge of the area, expressed his doubts, and offered to personally lead a team to search for them.
Given that Ironfist had delivered the much-needed food to the warriors on several separate occasions, the orc warlord Ironjaw granted its request.
After taking a hearty drink from the goblet made of a human skull, Ironjaw generously gifted it a squad of goblin wolf riders and a squad of orc berserkers.
These wines were seized from human merchants, and Ironjaw became enamored with their taste.
Orcs are a group of people with iron stomachs. Their diet includes all kinds of creatures, and in times of trouble, they will not even spare the corpses of their own kind.
This also resulted in all orcs except for orc shamans being intellectually deficient but extremely physically developed.
Goblins are allies of the orcs. Unlike the orcs, they are highly intelligent but have very low combat strength.
However, they can tame giant wolves and trolls as powerful combat units, which makes up for their lack of combat ability.
Because of this special skill, they were able to form an alliance with orcs, and because their skin is predominantly green, both are collectively referred to as greenskins by other races.
Running at full speed, they returned to their ambush location from the camp an hour later.
The corpses of the dozen or so orc youths lay silently on the road, their bodies mangled beyond recognition by vehicles.
Upon seeing the mangled corpses, Iron Fist was instantly enraged and let out a deafening roar.
The goblins trembled with fear, but they seemed to have come up with a plan, urging the dire wolves forward.
The dire wolves twitched their noses, sniffing the carcass as if they had caught a whiff of something. They all looked in the same direction, the direction the vehicle had gone.
"Find them," Iron Fist uttered.
The goblin sensed the captain's anger and dared not utter a sound, directing his dire wolf to run in the direction where Liu Nian had disappeared.
