Steel Claw stared coldly at Grug: "A human camp? Powerful?"
In their minds, humans are the easiest to hunt, as weak as ants, and can be crushed with a flick of their wrist.
It was obvious that, although orcs were generally not very bright, they still became suspicious when they saw that this was clearly a human camp.
Grug brought out his prepared explanation: "There is a powerful magician inside, and he has many powerful followers."
This is not a lie; they are now standing on a distant hillside, from where they can clearly see the camp.
In particular, outside one building, there were two giant swordsmen clad in heavy black armor, whose combat prowess was clearly off the charts.
Needless to say, that building was Liu Nian's resting place.
The facts were right before their eyes, leaving Steel Claw no choice but to believe it.
Steel Claw scratched the back of his head, getting excited about the impending battle, and rallied his tribe's troops to attack the camp.
Seeing that Steelclaw had been persuaded, Grug also pulled on the troll's reins, directing it to run towards the camp, a cold smile on his lips.
You wretched rat, let's see what you do this time!
More than forty orc berserkers, more than twenty orc youths, plus more than twenty goblin knights, a goblin shaman, and an orc warrior marched toward the camp in a grand procession.
Seeing the dust rising from the street, a raven that had been circling around spotted the large green-skinned army first, then raised its neck and raised its throat to give a warning.
Grugo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the ravens that had been following him, and gestured for his spear-throwing men to come forward.
"Get rid of that annoying raven!" Grug pointed at the raven that kept cawing.
After receiving the order, the spear thrower observed the raven's flight path for a while, then took out a javelin from the basket on his back and threw it at the raven with all his might.
The javelin flew through the air in an arc, striking the raven that had no time to dodge.
The raven vanished on the spot after being hit.
"I've been observing you for a long time, and we've run into each other in two battles. How could that be a coincidence!"
Normal birds leave carcasses. Watching the ravens disappear into the sky, Gruga finally confirmed that these little creatures were the magic creations of that mage.
With the threat of the ranged archers, the rest of the ravens only dared to land far away around them.
Even so, Liu Nian still received news of the approaching Greenskin army from the raven's warning.
After disconnecting from the raven's perspective, Liu Nian assessed the combat strength of both sides and concluded that they were not even in the same league!
This battle is unwinnable!
The enemy will arrive on the battlefield in five minutes!!
We need to come up with a solution quickly!!!
Liu Nian decisively stood up and told everyone to get in the car and leave. Although they were puzzled by Liu Nian's serious face, they still obediently packed their bags and prepared to leave.
Liu Nian didn't keep everyone in suspense and told them what she had discovered while they were tidying up.
Upon hearing that a large orc army was approaching, everyone unconsciously began to speed up.
If you get caught by a night-stalking monster, you'll have to wait until nightfall. If you stay here, you'll die immediately. Everyone knows which option to choose.
Sure enough, upon hearing Liu Nian's news, there was some commotion in the crowd, but they remained relatively calm. They decisively abandoned some unimportant things and hurriedly drove away.
"Can you drive?" Liu Nian suddenly asked.
"Yes." Looking at Liu Nian's expressionless face, Lu Jiaqi answered calmly.
"You drive," Liu Nian calmly instructed.
"Are you going to stay?" Lu Jiaqi suddenly asked.
"I will find you," Liu Nian replied, ignoring the question, and urged Lu Jiaqi to leave quickly.
Knowing that staying would only make her a burden and unable to dissuade Liu Nian, she could only leave first.
The remaining guards surrounded Lu Jiaqi and the merchants, bowed to Liu Nian, and then turned and left.
As everyone gradually disappeared outside the camp, Liu Nian formed a battle formation, waiting for the orcs to arrive.
...
Five minutes later, the orc army arrived as expected.
Contrary to expectations, the camp gates were wide open.
In the open space in the center of the camp, a densely packed army of undead awaited their arrival.
The two leaders stared at the mage opposite them, completely baffled. Although they wondered if the mage was out of his mind, they were happy to save themselves the trouble of a direct confrontation.
This time there was no formation; at Steel Claw's command, everyone began to charge.
Hearing thunderous footsteps at the camp entrance, Liu Nian opened his eyes.
Sitting on the skeletal chariot and seeing that the number of orcs was almost the same as he remembered, Liu Nian finally felt relieved.
Fearing they wouldn't come, they chose to take a side road to chase the convoy.
Since I'm already here, I won't stand on ceremony!
Liu Nian decisively used the group slow spell. After watching the orcs on the other side turn into Usu, he made a move that surprised everyone.
He first summoned all his creatures back into the dark space, then turned his horse around and fled.
The two leaders stared in disbelief as the humans opposite them slipped out of their sight, but they couldn't move their feet and could only watch helplessly as the humans left.
Before leaving the camp, Liu Nian watched the orcs opposite him roaring, seemingly expressing their dissatisfaction and contempt for Liu Nian's desertion.
So what if they look down on me? Will it hurt me?
Liu Nian refrained from making international friendliness gestures to them, secretly feeling quite pleased.
With Liu Nian's intelligence level, the group slow spell will likely be effective for about fifteen minutes, which is enough time for the convoy to run out of range.
As for what happens after fifteen minutes?
Unless the other side suddenly develops a magical ability to fly, how could they possibly catch up with the caravan?
If we can catch up, then let's use the group slowing technique again!
Why would anyone want to fight them? Isn't it better to be alive?
With the threat from the green-skinned soldiers temporarily averted, Liu Nian signaled the chariot to accelerate so he could catch up with the main force ahead.
As they got closer to the agreed location and there were no pursuers behind them, Liu Nian gradually felt at ease.
Before he could get close, the shouts of battle coming from ahead startled him.
What's going on here?
Unexpectedly, Liu Nian quickly urged the chariot to accelerate to its maximum speed.
They quickly arrived at the scene and saw the caravan surrounded and being attacked. Liu Nian's heart tightened, and he hurried towards the two sides engaged in battle.
This is a group of human bandits robbing a caravan. The presence of bandits means there are camps nearby where people can rest. With this in mind, Liu Nian looked at the bandits in front of him and had a new idea.
The robbers on lookout duty watched as a strangely shaped vehicle drove into the battlefield and rode a motorcycle toward Liu Nian.
Although I was a little confused, I figured I might as well take advantage of someone who was alone!
Liu Nian didn't even glance at them, and directly chose to rush into the center of the battlefield.
Breaking through the encirclement, he looked at the robbers in front of him as if they were a flock of fat sheep.
