In his fear, the merchant noticed that the surrounding shouts and cries of battle gradually subsided after an explosion.
As the monster's cries faded into the distance, a few mercenaries mustered their courage and opened a crack in the window.
By the light of the moon, they discovered a group of ghouls foraging for food, among whom were two particularly tall figures moving about.
Seeing the ghoul's hideous face filled them with dread, and they quickly closed the windows tightly, not daring to leave even a crack, for fear of being discovered by the ghoul outside.
One of the quick-witted people suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, isn't this that powerful figure's summoned creature? What are we afraid of?"
Yes, the guards around me suddenly realized what was going on. They had gone to check on me at noon, but they didn't recognize me at night.
It's just that the night was too beautiful, and the scene of the horde of zombies going too far was too terrifying.
This means that the incredible person actually succeeded in challenging the night-stalking monster? And all alone!!
After regaining their senses, they thought about the problem and looked at each other with disbelief.
At the same time, he admired Liu Nian even more and even fantasized about how happy he would be if he were Liu Nian.
Liu Nian couldn't guess what they were thinking. After the battlefield was cleaned up by the ghouls, he fired a signal flare.
This is the task stated in the letter of appointment, signifying that this section of the road has been recaptured, and proving that I have not been lazy and have reached the agreed destination.
Tomorrow, troops will be stationed to guard the area until the battle is over.
...
With the mission completed, Liu Nian took out the newly acquired card.
This time, we wiped out quite a few night monsters, so the rewards were relatively high. I hope to get some items that I can use, and of course, a skill book would be even better.
For Liu Nian, skill books are more precious than equipment.
[Japanese Pirate Sewage] (Materials/Projectiles)
It is highly corrosive; use with caution!
Note: It can be used as an alchemical material, or you can use it on someone you don't like.
These are some liquids sealed in crystal bottles. The dark green liquid has bubbles rising from its surface from time to time, which is quite creepy. No wonder it can be used as a projectile.
This is a very strange material, and I have to say the note on it is really hilarious.
Maybe I was just unlucky earlier, because I got two skill books in a row this time.
[Fatigue] (Second-tier Dark Magic/Curse)
Effect: Accelerates the loss of stamina from the target unit.
Note: How come you're already panting so much after only a short while?
【Crushing Attack】(Tier 2 Combat Skill/Berserk)
Effect: Deals 120% + 10 weapon damage and has a chance to reduce the target unit's defense by 3 points for 15 seconds.
If I could sell it for a good price, and Zhou Momo asked me for it, I might give it to her.
As for the other book, you can study it on your own.
The rest are just some resource cards, which I won't go into detail about here; just throw them into your inventory.
The arrival of a new day meant that Liu Nian had to go back to report.
As long as nothing goes wrong before returning to camp, the first patrol mission will be successfully completed!
I have to attend the city lord's banquet tonight; it feels like today is going to be another busy day.
Once Liu Nian's team had assembled, the merchants on the other side were about to set off.
After a night of fear and anxiety, the merchants were all exhausted, but they still mustered their spirits and greeted Liu Nian with dark circles under their eyes.
The guards were noticeably more respectful than the merchants, and their gazes toward Liu Nian were filled with admiration.
Looking into their bloodshot eyes, Liu Nian showed no remorse and even asked against his conscience, "Did you sleep well last night? I slept well, all the way until dawn."
Amidst the praise, Liu Nian strode away.
I love it when you guys are annoyed with me but can't do anything about it!
This is the best punishment I can give you!
Perhaps it was because he had tricked the merchants that Liu Nian felt good.
With the arrival of the new garrison, Liu Nian set off to return home.
He's happy now, but someone else is in big trouble.
...
In a camp deep in the forest.
The orc warlord was furious; the food Steelclaw that was supposed to be handed over hadn't been delivered yet.
"You, Grug, go to Steelclaw's camp and have him send the food over as soon as possible," the warlord roared at Grug.
The fact that he hadn't eaten breakfast made the warlord very unhappy, and his subordinates were also on edge.
"Yes, sir." Grug was sweating profusely. Hearing the warlord's words was like receiving a pardon. He quickly dashed out of the orc tent.
When it arrived at the camp entrance, it found that the orcs had already disappeared, and a squad of Cthulhu soldiers were stationed there.
Realizing something was wrong, Grug didn't panic. Had these humans defeated Steel Claw?
Gruga was dumbfounded. Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Those weakling humans? Even if I told anyone, probably no one would believe me!
Never mind, the food is right here, let's kill them first.
The goblin knights burst out from the side path and launched a group charge.
While the Cinnabar soldiers were repairing the damaged wooden door, they saw the goblin knights approaching. The squad leader-like figure began to blow his horn.
The deep horn sound conveyed only one meaning: enemy attack!
The Aurora soldiers in the camp instantly emerged from their rooms and assembled in formation.
There were about eighty soldiers: a shield-bearer squad, two sword-wielding squads, two halberd-wielding squads, and two squads of crossbowmen.
A squadron of halberdiers was repairing the wooden door at the entrance; it was he who had sounded the horn earlier.
Under the commander's methodical direction, the crossbowmen were the first to climb onto the wall and begin suppressive fire.
Before the goblin knight could even engage the enemy, he was caught off guard by ranged units that emerged from the wall.
The two teams of crossbowmen took turns firing, their bolts raining down on the goblin knights exposed in their field of vision.
Seeing that the situation was not good, and that if he did not make a move, half of the goblin knights would die before they even engaged in battle, Gruga immediately began to chant a spell.
As the incantation ended, the natural spell "Swarm of Bees," which reduced the hit rate, was cast on the crossbowman.
A swarm of wasps appeared out of nowhere and swarmed over the crossbowmen, keeping them busy dealing with the wasps and leaving them no time to fire.
"A goblin shaman?" The commander wielded his spear with impenetrable force, shattering many wasps.
But the number of wasps was truly astonishing, and the commander was somewhat overwhelmed.
By this time, the shield bearers and swordsmen had already gone out and assembled. If the goblin knights were to attack rashly, they would likely face annihilation.
After hesitating for a moment, Grugau cautiously ordered a retreat.
After leaving behind the corpses of several goblin knights, they gradually disappeared into the forest.
The commander's mission was to defend the area, and he did not launch an attack rashly, thus bringing the farce to an end.
Scouts are sent out to scout the location of the Greenskins' main camp, and a major battle will only break out after they are found.
Otherwise, it would all be localized battles, with each side launching probing attacks.
