As a result, the long-awaited orcs became suspicious.
However, this anxiety was temporary, because just as the two were talking, a report suddenly came from outside.
"Lord Wise, Captain Barbarian Bull, the spies we sent to the direction of the Forge have returned!"
"Let him in!" Captain Manniu immediately spoke out after hearing this.
"How's the exploration going? Have you found any traces left by that team?" When the spies entered the room, Captain Manniu immediately asked.
"Master Wise Man, Captain Barbarian Bull, my subordinates went to the direction of the Furnace Castle to investigate according to the order. The human team is indeed coming towards our direction, and has passed through the areas of several tribes!"
"you sure?"
The wise men of the fox tribe and the tauren captain of the beast tribe immediately spoke out to confirm.
"Sir, I am sure, because the traces of tens of thousands of people passing by are very obvious!"
"How lucky is it that a team of tens of thousands of people managed to escape so many small tribes sent by us?" It was confirmed that Nalant's team had not changed its route.
Both the wise man and the bull captain breathed a sigh of relief.
But then the two of them felt incredible about the good luck of Nalant and others.
Because they have arranged so many small tribes, let alone tens of thousands of people, even if there are only a thousand people, it is impossible for them to remain silent until now.
"Master Wise, what should we do now?" Captain Manniu looked at the old man of the Fox clan.
"Grandpa, how about I ride my mount to investigate!" Before the old man from the Fox tribe could speak, the young girl from the Fox tribe at the side started to request.
"Mia, there's no need for you to go out and search!" However, the fox tribe girl's proposal was quickly rejected by the old man.
"To go from the border of our Orc Empire to the Black Rock Plains, we must pass through the Dead Leaf Swamp, and the Dead Leaf Swamp is very dangerous. Neither our Orcs nor the humans dare to go deep into it, so we only need to arrange enough tribes around the Dead Leaf Swamp.
Spies, then they will have no way to escape!"
"Grandpa, you are right in the Dead Leaf Swamp. Only those dirty goblins dare to go deep into the Dead Leaf Swamp. As long as we send enough tribes, we will definitely find traces of those humans!" The girl from the Fox tribe heard this.
The precious map he had seen in his grandfather's room immediately came to mind.
This map marked the Orc Empire and various surrounding terrains. There were only a few maps in the entire principality, and her grandfather, as an Orc wise man, happened to have one.
After a pause, the fox girl said again: "But Grandpa, will the number of tribes we send out now be a little less?"
"Yes, that human noble is related to our ability to complete the task of obtaining weapons for the empire this time. Therefore, Captain Manniu, you should immediately send people to summon all the tribes on the border and have them all garrison in Ku.
Leaf Swamp and the Edge of Empire.”
"Let's set off immediately and rush to the edge of the Dead Leaf Swamp!"
"Yes, Sir Wise Man!"
As the wise man from the fox tribe issued the order, all the small tribes in the western border of the orc empire started to move and quickly gathered around the Dead Leaf Swamp.
The movements of the orcs were quickly noticed by Nalant.
"Sir, there is another orc tribe ahead, numbering around three thousand people!"
"What about farther west?"
"Sir, Xiao Huihui also investigated just now, and there is also an orc tribe to the west!"
"What about the rear?"
"Sir, there are also orc tribes behind us. Although the distance is still more than fifty miles away, if we continue to stop here, they will arrive soon!"
"We are surrounded!" Nalant frowned immediately.
Although the orc tribes appeared very frequently in the past two days, they were not as densely packed as now, and there were no pursuers from behind.
They could completely rely on Xiao Huihui's guidance to pass through the gaps between these tribes silently.
But now, the orc tribes in front are denser than ever before, let alone gaps, and the number of orcs they can deal with is one hundred meters per meter.
If your own team appears, I am afraid that you will immediately fall into the ocean of the beast tribe.
This time, the orcs really went to war.
Moreover, the interception point was quite accurately set on the dead leaf swamp.
Nalant had already heard from Rohr that this dead leaf swamp was forbidden to strangers.
Because the swamp is not only easy for people and carriages to fall into, it is also a natural trap.
There are many monsters living inside. These monsters hide in the swamp and attack passing creatures for food. If you are not careful, you may open a bloody mouth under your feet.
"Sir, why don't we return immediately? There should be fewer orcs in the rear, and we should be able to break out?" Raymond saw his master's solemn face and immediately made a suggestion.
Because of the newly equipped armor with new inscriptions, the barbarian soldiers like Raymond became a lot more courageous.
However, such a proposal was naturally rejected by Narant.
If it was just those small tribes that broke through quickly according to Raymond, they should have a certain success rate.
But the plan to ambush him this time must have been made by the fox tribe old man and the tauren.
Therefore, once traces of yourself and others are revealed, they will definitely be bitten by the other party immediately.
Facing those tauren, Nalant and his subordinates now have no chance of winning.
"Damn it, since you're blocking my way, I won't go back yet!"
Suddenly, Nalant felt fierce in his heart.
"Raymon, immediately send the team back to the east along the same route!"
"The east, sir, the east is the hinterland of the Orc Empire?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"Yes, we are preparing to penetrate deep into the Orc Empire and then pass through their hinterland!" Nalant nodded.
Judging from the posture of the orcs ahead, all the small tribes on the orc border must have been recruited to the border of the Dead Leaf Swamp.
Therefore, Nalant could completely go deep into the orc hinterland and then take a detour back to the Black Rock Plains.
Of course, not everyone can do such a thing, because once discovered by the orcs, the death will be even worse, and there will be no escape route.
The reason why Nalant made such a decision was also because of the investigative ability of little girl Shirley.
This is something that others cannot learn.
And all the subordinates looked at each other in shock when they heard that instead of retreating, their master had gone deep into the hinterland of the beast tribe.
However, no one had any doubts about Nalant's order, and soon Nalant's team completed the turn.
They now had to rush as fast as possible before the orcs could react, so that they could make a time difference.
Soon, Nalant led the team on the road deep into the hinterland of the orcs.
When Nalant's team actually set foot on the land of the Orc Empire, their marching speed became even faster.
Because although the orcs are barbaric and backward, they still have some dirt roads in their territory.
When the night gradually darkened, Nalant and others had already penetrated thirty miles into the territory of the Orc Empire.
Valley
Although every second counts now, and the sooner we return to the Storm Territory, the safer it will be, but considering that there are still barbarian women and children in the team, Nalant is still prepared to stop and rest for a night and wait for tomorrow morning before continuing forward.
At the moment, he chose a dense forest and asked the team to rest in the forest.
Naturally, the fire could not be used, and all the barbarians were gnawing on the dried meat cooked two days ago.
In this way, with the patrols of Swift Eagle and Bee, Nalant's team spent the first night safely.
When it was still dark the next day, Nalant's team gathered again and continued to move deeper into the hinterland of the Orcs.
"Sir, Xiao Huihui reported that there is an orc tribe seven or eight miles ahead. However, that tribe seems to have become empty!" Not long after setting off, little girl Shirley received Xiao Huihui's investigation.
report.
"Well, let Xiao Huihui continue to explore!"
Nalant nodded. It was clear that as he had guessed, all the orcs on the border of the orc empire had been transferred to the vicinity of the Dead Leaf Swamp.
Soon, Nalant led the team to the orc tribe camp where Xiao Huihui reported earlier.
The camp is not too big and should be a gathering place for the orcs with over a thousand people.
Nalant led his subordinates into the camp to search around, and after confirming that there were no orcs, they walked out of the camp gate.
And just when he was about to lead the team to continue setting off, Raymond suddenly ran over.
"Sir, we found an orchard in this camp. The fruit is very sweet!"
Raymond's face was full of excitement and he showed several red fruits in his hand in front of Nalant.
"Raymon, have you eaten?" Nalant looked at this story and suddenly looked at Raymond with strange eyes.
"Yes, sir, please make atonement. I was a little thirsty earlier, so I tasted one, but please don't worry, sir, I will let you look at the rest of the fruits without any damage!" Raymond nodded first, and then immediately
Give an explanation.
"Then after you eat it, what else do you feel besides the sweetness?" Narant continued to ask.
Because this fruit is the powerful fruit.
He remembered that Winnie mentioned last time that humans cannot eat this powerful fruit directly, otherwise it will cause diarrhea at the least and death at the worst.
"Sir, I do feel it. After eating this fruit, I feel warm all over my body!" Raymond answered truthfully and felt it carefully for a moment.
"Hey, sir, my strength seems to have increased a bit!"
"Are you sure!" Raymond's answer made Nalant a little surprised.
"Sir, it's true. This subordinate is very aware of his own strength, and it seems that it has really increased a bit now!" Raymond answered with certainty.
"There is such a thing!" Nalant no longer doubted it, but marveled at the physique of the barbarians, who could actually benefit from directly eating the giant fruit like the orcs.
However, this is certainly a good thing for Narant, and it saves Winnie's workload.
"Raymon, you immediately lead the other team members to pick all the fruits. When the time comes, each of the Wild Wolf Knights can take one fruit, and take the rest first!" Nalant immediately gave the order.
Now the powerful fruit is also an indispensable fruit for him.
If it weren't for the fact that the giant fruit trees couldn't be transplanted, he would have really wanted to uproot the giant fruit trees.
"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing this, Raymond immediately followed the instructions.
Soon, the orchards next to the orc camp were all picked.
If the orcs from this tribe come back, they will definitely scold them.
These powerful fruit trees are the basis for the growth of their tribe. They only produce a batch of fruits a year, and they are usually reluctant to eat them. They are slowly distributed according to merit.
It's great now, Narant took them all away in one go.
Of course, this tribe was not the only one who would scold Nalant, because Nalant encountered the camps of two orc tribes on the next journey.
Similarly, he also harvested all the powerful fruits outside the orc tribe's camp.
Because of the continuous receipt of goods, Nalant simply asked Xiao Huihui to pay attention to the orc tribe camps scattered on the road while investigating.
Now that all the orc tribes on the border have been recruited, it is a god-given opportunity for him.
In the past, if you want to obtain these powerful fruits, you must completely wipe out the orcs just like you did with the pig-headed men.
Now, the camps of these orcs are all empty, not even a single person is seen. It is no more convenient than now to collect the powerful fruit.
In this way, Nalant's journey of escape suddenly turned into a journey of harvest.
As long as the orc tribe camp was scouted by Xiao Huihui, as long as the location did not deviate too much, he would go and visit it.
…
At the same time, at the edge of the Dead Leaf Swamp, a group of orcs were ready.
Because according to the wise man's inference, the human team should be nearby.
And there are also their own beast tribe chasing behind them, so unless this human team runs into the dead leaf swamp, it will be difficult to fly with wings.
"Master Wise, look over there, the birds are frightened!"
As the main force to deal with the noble team of Nalant, the old fox tribe and the tauren warriors were also waiting at the edge of the dead leaf swamp. Only the small tribes could send information about the traces of the human team.
At this moment, the tauren captain immediately noticed a group of frightened birds flying into the sky several miles away.
"Captain Barbarian Bull, take your tauren warriors to check immediately!" The old man of the Fox clan was still a little solemn at first, but he relaxed a little after seeing the flying bird.
However, he also immediately issued orders to the Tauren warriors.
"Yes, Sir Wise Man!"
Immediately, the Tauren captain personally led hundreds of Tauren warriors and rushed towards the position where the birds were flying in the distance.
"Grandfather, why are you in such a hurry? Wouldn't it be better to let the human team come directly and let us ambush you?" After the tauren warriors left, the fox girl made a confused sound.
"Mia, Grandpa feels that this human team is too slow!" The old man from the Fox clan shook his head after hearing this.
"too slow?"
"Yes, judging from the traveling speed of this human team in the past few days, they should have appeared at the edge of the Dead Leaf Swamp yesterday evening."
"But their current traveling speed is half a day slower than before. It's almost noon now!" explained the old man of the Fox clan.
"Grandpa, are you worried that they have escaped?" The fox girl immediately frowned, "But they don't even know that we have set up an ambush, so how could they escape for no reason?"
"Besides, the flock of birds just took off because they were frightened!"
Faced with the words of the fox tribe girl, the fox tribe old man did not speak again.
Although my granddaughter's talent for charm is unprecedented among the fox clan, she still needs to learn in terms of planning and thinking.
Of course, after all, my granddaughter was only born eighteen years ago. According to human calculations, she was still a girl.
Considering that ordinary orcs have a lifespan of 150 years, they are actually still too young, so they still have a lot of time to grow and learn!
