"What's the situation in the inner districts now?"
Inside a tent, Fu Bufu, the current Minister of the Beastman Empire's Military Council, looked at the map and asked a question.
The Inner District is a region within the giants' domain, and the battles between orcs and giants are currently concentrated in this area.
"The situation is good so far. Previously, the orc soldiers had difficulty understanding our combat methods, but it's different when it comes to players. Although it hurts when they are killed, there is no real death in the war, which makes our tactics 120% more effective," said a player standing nearby.
"That's good. If we keep going like this and wipe out all the giants in the inner districts, the Beastman Empire will definitely reward us!"
Fu Bufu nodded in satisfaction.
Anyway, she doesn't need to use her brain. As long as she follows these people's instructions, she can complete her mission perfectly.
"Sigh, what a pity. We're stuck here because of a mission from the Beastman Empire. If we could go to the Shadow Empire to kill monsters and do missions, we could definitely level up much faster."
The players inside the tent all nodded.
Although the giants are all rare or higher life forms, their numbers are too small, while the number of players is too large. When divided equally according to contribution, each person only gets a tiny bit of experience.
For them, most of their experience comes from quests quested by the Beastman Empire.
"Forget it, let's finish the Beastman Empire's mission as soon as possible, otherwise we'll be stuck here and our levels will definitely fall further behind," Fu Bufu said after thinking for a moment.
"However, I heard that the missions on the Shadow Empire's side seem to be almost complete, Holy Capital has begun to assemble its forces to begin conquering the final capital. If we go now, the gains might not be as great as we imagined," said the strategist standing on the other side.
"It seems so... Sigh, the worst off is that Shi Yi. If he could cooperate with us, this inner district would have been conquered long ago. What a fool who ruins things."
A border town in Gularui.
The borders of the Beastman Empire were frequently invaded by giants, so the city walls here are very thick and very tall.
After Su Xi teleported to this town, she looked around.
There were very few ordinary players; the streets were mostly filled with orc soldiers in armor, and a large number of orc slaves...
The Beastman Empire is impoverished, and the trade of orcs and slaves is rampant. Orcs have a higher birth rate than humans, so often in this country you'll see an orc slave that costs less than a single brick in the capital city of Magri.
"An elf? What are you doing here? What kind of credentials do you have to enter the town?"
The arrogant voice interrupted Su Xi's gaze.
A horse-orc pointed the tip of its spear at Su Xi's eyes, as if the spear would pierce into Su Xi pupils if Su Xi gave a bad answer.
The other rat-beastman was eating tobacco leaves, his face full of enjoyment as he exhaled.
"Get out of here."
Su Xi grabbed the tip of the spear, lifted the entire horse-faced orc off the ground, and then slammed it to the ground.
Several sounds of bones breaking rang out instantly.
Even your emperor treats me with utmost respect, yet you border scum are so arrogant.
Pointing the spear tip directly into someone's eyes is enough to show how arrogant and domineering this horse-faced orc is.
"Ouch... Ah... It hurts so much... Damn elves..." The horse-orc lay on the ground howling, attracting the attention of the surrounding orcs.
The rat-orc raised his weapon with trembling hands and feet, his eyes glazed over; clearly, he hadn't come to his senses yet.
As for the orc slaves carrying miscellaneous items back and forth, they clearly didn't care about such things; on the contrary, they even had a look of pleasure on their faces.
"Who... who are you? You've injured an orc officer! Do you want to go to jail?!"
The pitiful state of the horse-beastman frightened the rat-beastman, but with the aid of tobacco leaves, he recklessly pointed his spear at Su Xi.
Su Xi ignored his shouts and kicked him away.
The soldiers guarding the border towns are like this; this Beastman Empire is doomed sooner or later.
After taking down the two soldiers guarding the teleportation array, Su Xi planned to find Fimiro quickly and then leave.
Cancer cells have appeared in this country. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the beginning of its demise. In particular, Su Xi also knows from her memories of her past life that His Majesty Shi Yuan will be poisoned to death by his own son in the future.
At this moment, Su Xi began to understand why Fu Bufu had suddenly started recruiting so many orc players with agricultural talents; these people were plotting something bigger...
The rat-orc was not seriously injured, only having a bone broken, but the horse-orc was not so lucky, and was knocked unconscious by the pain.
In fact, Su Xi had already restrained her power a lot; otherwise, if she had used all her strength, which was over 10,000 points, the horse-beastman would have turned into a meat pie.
Immediately, the rat-orc shouted, "Enemy invasion! Enemy invasion!"
The orc squad leader who was patrolling nearby heard the shouts and quickly led his men over.
Seeing the two orc guards in such a sorry state, he frowned, his fierce gaze sweeping around the room as he asked, "What happened? Who attacked you?!"
However, the rat-beastman was already confused under the influence of the tobacco leaves and was unable to answer the questions.
The orc squad leader slapped him, intending to wake him up, but instead knocked him unconscious. The orc squad leader cursed, "Useless!"
"Seize all these passing slaves! Whoever can tell us what happened, kill them!"
After a moment, the orc squad leader, having learned the general outline of what had happened, calmly said, "Kill them all and throw them outside the city walls."
"No, sir, sir, I've already told you, please don't kill me!"
"I don't want to die..."
"Waaah..."
Puff puff puff...
The dull thuds of several sharp weapons piercing chests rang out, and the captured slaves fell into pools of blood. Before they died, their eyes held only pain, numbness, and a barely perceptible trace of anger.
"Put these two in jail for a month. They dared to raise weapons against the Elf race; they're asking for trouble," the orc squad leader ordered.
The team members then took the two unconscious orc soldiers away.
Su Xi wandered around the city, asking several orcs in charge of the business, but none of them knew where Fimiro was, or rather, they had no idea where there were any humans in the town.
The witch's appearance is no different from that of a human, so the absence of humans means that these people have no idea about Fimiro.
"It seems I still have to go find this Prince Shi Yi..."
After all, the protagonist who will poison Shi Yuan in the future is most likely to be him, and the one behind the scenes is definitely Fimiro. Finding him should reveal where Fimiro is.
