Unlike Liu Nian's cheerful demeanor, the caravan's guards lost two members in the battle. However, because of this, they abandoned their initial contempt and became more cautious.
This time, the enemy was one they had never encountered before. The so-called "upgrade" was always something for the first and second tiers, a distant concept for them.
This time was different. This time they experienced it firsthand and realized how terrifying those green-skinned people were.
Without the protection of shields, the team members on both flanks were crushed to death by the enemy; the two sides were simply not on the same level in terms of strength.
If it weren't for the help from those ahead, this escort career might have ended prematurely.
It's obvious that the opponent is a powerful summoner who can summon a group of handsome men and beautiful women with exotic features to fight alongside him.
With him by my side, at least I'll be safe along the way, and the captain of the guard's eyes were filled with gratitude.
Liu Nian, who was ahead of him, was unaware that he had just won over another wave of goodwill as he drove toward the abandoned camp.
There are walk-up units, so he doesn't drive fast.
However, he also had his troubles, namely that his soldiers seemed very resistant to fighting alongside Liu Nian's undead army.
The halberd soldiers who were originally fighting the green-skinned soldiers began to refuse to be commanded by Liu Nian the moment his vampires appeared; otherwise, the battle could have ended much faster.
Fortunately, there were fewer orcs this time, so Liu Nian could still win by relying on his vampires.
If more orcs arrive, the consequences will be unimaginable; this problem must be solved as soon as possible.
The halberd soldiers are a powerful fighting force, and we cannot afford to waste them.
Based on his previous gaming experience, Liu Nian believed that the morale problem was caused by the mixed-unit operation.
The Life Faction and the Death Faction are irreconcilable enemies; it's an ancient tradition.
Next time, let's try recruiting a standard bearer. Standard bearers have the trait of increasing morale by one.
If it's not this problem, then by gradually eliminating possibilities, the truth will eventually come to light.
...
In a forest somewhere, a wolf pack's habitat, is now under fierce attack.
A group of orcs are attacking a wounded giant wolf. This wolf is significantly larger than its kind and is likely the leader of the pack.
Beside the giant wolf lay the corpses of many of its kind, and the orcs with free time were busy loading these bodies into their carts.
A wooden four-wheeled cart, whose design is unknown, it's hard to imagine that it could be intelligent.
"Awoo~" The last ghost wolf fell to the ground unwillingly after its head was smashed. Blood mixed with tissue flowed from the wound, quickly staining the surrounding land red.
The other orcs cheered, as it meant their food supply for the day was secured.
However, Steel Claw didn't show much excitement on its face; it was still resentful about what happened the day before yesterday.
After failing to track down Liu Nian, that coward Grugao shifted all the blame onto himself.
Unfortunately, he only had brute strength but no brains, and was outmaneuvered by that coward.
Not only did it lose face in front of the orc governor, but the other orcs also looked down on it. It wasn't even given any raiding missions; instead, the governor would hand them over to other orcs. You should know that the governor used to give it to it first.
If he doesn't try harder to prove himself, he will lose his honor and status, and any young orc will challenge him.
By the grace of Brother Gao and Brother Mao, if it ever encounters Grugo again, it must crush him.
Yes, that one-eyed mage should be crushed too!
"Pah!" After loading the last ghost wolf onto the vehicle, they searched for their next hunting spot.
Before sunset, they must hunt enough food to return to camp.
From God's perspective, their camp happens to be the same human village that was previously raided.
...
Liu Nian was unaware that he was about to step into the territory of the orcs.
After a few days, the orcs had already established a stronghold on that land.
They have plundered caravans from City A several times in a row.
The caravan from City A is now forced to remain in the unnamed village where Liu Nian and Lu Jiaqi lived.
Raven, acting as a scout, noticed this clue and promptly relayed the information to Liu Nian from his mind.
A raven flashed a signal in his mind; it was a raven far away from Liu Nian issuing a warning.
Liu Nian decisively stopped the car and enveloped the raven with his consciousness.
From the raven's perspective, the former human settlement can be seen to be now occupied by that group of greenskins.
Is this even possible?
Shouldn't they be like nomadic peoples, only raiding and never settling down?
He will definitely attack these greenskins, that's for sure, but he doesn't necessarily have to drag these people who are just passing by into it. They are free to decide whether to stay or leave.
Of course, Liu Nian could also push unsuspecting merchants into a fire pit. With a ruthless heart, he could accept the orcs' merits and their goods as well.
It wasn't that he wasn't tempted; after thinking it over, he decisively chose the former, because he really didn't care about these things now.
When the merchants saw Liu Nian coming, they quickly got out of their cars to greet him. Liu Nian then revealed the information to them, leaving it to them to decide whether to stay or leave.
A few kilometers ahead would take them back to the service area where Liu Nian and his group had stayed temporarily last time; going forward would mean a fight to the death with those orcs.
It was a matter of life and death, and the merchants hesitated. They had their reasons to hesitate, but Liu Nian had no reason to hesitate.
Without waiting for the group of merchants to make a decision, he chose to go forward alone.
The weather is perfect today, how can we not have a good fight?
No merchants followed them to the camp, indicating that they had already made their decision.
Liu Nian unfolded the dark space, and summoned creatures poured out of the barrier one after another.
With the flag bearer present, although the halberd soldiers still looked grim, at least they no longer resisted Liu Nian's orders.
It was indeed a matter of morale, and Liu Nian was overjoyed.
What could be more exciting than solving an unknown puzzle?
The magic circle that the Dark Space can open is only so big. As the number of summoned creatures increases, he must spend more time integrating the troops.
Unlike before, you can no longer immediately engage in battle simply by activating a magic circle.
With the arrival of infantry units, the marching speed dropped sharply, and Liu Nian had no choice but to walk alongside them.
Fortunately, the camp was right in front of them, and the orcs on the wooden fence saw the troops coming and quickly shouted to let them know.
Liu Nian couldn't understand the orc language, but soon the city gates opened, and countless orcs filed out from in front of them.
They formed a chaotic line, pushing and shoving each other, their loud roars drowning out everything else.
The world only quieted down after Steelclaw, an old friend, stepped forward and stopped it all.
When he discovered the steel claw, the steel claw also discovered him.
When enemies meet, their eyes are filled with intense hatred!
Steel Claw's anger surged uncontrollably at the sight of Liu Nian. It was this weakling who had caused him to be looked down upon by the other orc warriors. He had to bring Liu Nian's head back to defend his reputation.
Steel Claw pointed his hand forward and roared loudly.
At his command, the orcs, as if injected with adrenaline, frantically brandished their weapons and charged towards Liu Nian's formation.
