Deep in the dense forest, there was a stream. A group of orc infantry were resting by the stream when the raven spotted them and gave them a warning.
Unlike Grugo, who was so suspicious, the orcs did not notice that Liu Nian was constantly watching the movements of the orcs in the bushes not far away.
It wasn't that he didn't want to turn them into merit points, but in order to catch a bigger fish, he suppressed his urge to attack.
Hold on, once you find their camp, there will be plenty of opportunities to make your move!
Patience and discipline are essential, Liu Nian told himself.
The orcs appeared to be members of a hunting party, with some monster corpses behind them.
Why aren't we back at camp yet? Liu Nian looked at the orcs opposite him with a bored expression.
He didn't know that the source of all this was his own doing, because he had raided the temporary camp where Steelclaw was stationed.
Liu Nian intercepted the food that had been stored for several days, forcing the beastmen to send more members out to hunt.
Fighting is an exhausting activity; what kind of fight is it if you don't have food?
You must have heard a profound saying from your fellow orcs from another dimension.
"Orcs will never be slaves, unless they are provided with food and lodging!"
Therefore, there is some truth to this.
Seemingly hearing Liu Nian's complaints, the orc rested for a while and then began to move with its prey on its back.
Liu Nian only dared to cautiously peek out after they had gone far away. Although they were rough, their five senses were unusually powerful.
Several times, because they were following too closely, they looked at Liu Nian's hiding place with suspicion.
If the ravens hadn't lured them away in time, it would have turned into a full-blown battle.
There's nothing that can be done about it. Although he's a gamer, stealth games have never been Liu Nian's cup of tea. He's only suited to the Kang-style stealth method.
The journey was spent stopping and starting, interspersed with orc hunting.
It must be said that, despite being on the opposing side, their fighting ability is astonishing, often repelling prey several times their size, demonstrating their immense strength.
Guided by the ravens, they navigated through countless thickets until they emerged from the dense forest and reached a clearing meadow.
A camp made of trees appeared before Liu Nian.
Seeing the heads of other creatures hanging on the wooden fence surrounding the camp, and hearing the greenskins roaring clearly inside, Liu Nian knew he had found the right place.
Carefully avoiding the patrolling orcs, Liu Nian observed the size of the camp and guessed how many greenskins were inside.
Climbing trees is impossible; all the trees around that could provide cover have been cut down, and climbing up where there's no cover would just make you a sitting duck.
After a rough calculation, Liu Nian didn't rush to send out the signal flare; he had a bold plan.
However, it wasn't time yet. Liu Nian glanced at his watch and quietly retreated back into the dense forest.
Finding a large tree that would take four people to encircle, Liu Nian nimbly climbed up, needing to rest and recover.
As for climbing trees? That's a skill that farm kids are born with.
To avoid revealing his whereabouts, Liu Nian did not summon any guardian creatures, only the raven and himself.
Excitement and worry mingled together, and Liu Nian couldn't calm down, tossing and turning on the high tree branch.
Left with no other option, Liu Nian had to resort to her trump card.
He pulled a book on advanced functions from the space, and sure enough, the tree branches returned to calm shortly afterward.
As time went by, it grew darker and darker.
...
The orc overseer was somewhat agitated. Not only had their temporary camp been recaptured, but several orc units had also been defeated by the Soodan soldiers.
The number of orcs capable of fighting in the camp has drastically decreased. Although new orcs can be grown from the ground, the rules of this plane are somewhat strange and not suitable for orc growth.
The orc youth, who would normally grow up in a few days in this or other planes, has not grown up even after almost a week here. However, his appetite, inherited from the orcs, is getting bigger and bigger.
Here we have to mention the orcs' method of reproduction; they are not born through traditional methods.
Hair, dander, and even blood and orc corpses that accidentally splatter on the battlefield can breed new orcs.
They are half plant, and their green skin promotes photosynthesis, allowing them to grow larger and larger. The largest green skins can reach the height of several stories.
The soil in this plane limits their reproduction; otherwise, there would truly be an endless wave of green-skinned creatures.
After all, other races need to grow food to feed themselves, but they don't; their diet includes anything.
As one force rises and the other falls, this wave will destroy everything in its path until nothing can be destroyed anymore. Then, they will fight amongst themselves, an endless infighting.
Several planes were destroyed by this wave of green-skinned beings.
Several more hunting parties have returned, and there are fewer and fewer monsters to catch in the jungle. This can't go on.
Although the nocturnal monsters were hard to eat, the warlord could only sigh helplessly as he looked at today's haul.
Its idea coincided with Liu Nian's, who was also waiting for the monster that night.
To him, they were all enemies anyway, and if the enemies of his enemies could fight each other, he would be happy to watch the two tigers fight.
The system notified that Liu Nian had returned to the vicinity of the camp when night fell.
There were no guards at the camp entrance, and the warlord recalled all combat-capable units.
They all huddled together in the camp, wary of the sudden appearance of nocturnal monsters.
Familiar roars and the sounds of earth-walking monsters running gradually rose from all around.
Seeing this, Liu Nian also summoned a chariot from a blind spot in the camp, which was even faster.
We're about to take a risk, so the sooner the better!
After the ground-dwelling and flying monsters discovered both of them, Liu Nian urged the chariot toward the camp, with a bunch of night-dwelling monsters following behind.
Inside the camp, numerous orcs huddled together, making the camp completely airtight.
Once this hurdle is overcome, things will be much safer, Liu Nian encouraged herself.
With his magic shield already in place, and surrounded by enemies, Liu Nian drove into the camp.
After a brief acceleration, the chariot reached its maximum speed, with only the whooshing wind and the approaching camp gates all around.
Too many ground-dwelling monsters were squeezed around the chariot, frantically scratching at the warhorse Liu Nian was sitting on, and some even tried to climb onto the warhorse and jump into the carriage.
Liu Nian was unable to distinguish any of these things at the moment. His vision was filled with countless flying monsters, and his mana was rapidly decreasing.
Liu Nian's target was within the camp; if the warhorses were still galloping, it meant they were still moving forward.
Finally, they encountered strong resistance, which was caused by the collision of warhorses, monsters, and orcs.
The flying monster had to climb higher, which briefly gave Liu Nian a glimpse of its surroundings.
Amidst the chaos of battle, Liu Nian was squeezed into the car, unable to move an inch.
This can't go on; if we don't come up with a solution, we'll be doomed sooner or later.
With his vision restored, Liu Nian disregarded the attack from the flying monsters and pulled something out of his spatial storage.
