The atmosphere at the scene became somewhat strange.
It carried both the tension and wariness of a standoff, as well as an inexplicable sense of watching and hesitation.
Zong Shen had no idea what the Blackwater Army soldiers before him were hesitating over.
Perhaps after he and Firelick Carlrig had reached a consensus, the Blackwater Sword Saint had issued other orders to these scouts stationed outside.
Just as Zong Shen was preparing to probe them, the [Mirror Shadow Demon Scout] standing directly in front of him suddenly spoke in a hoarse, obscure voice.
"Gibberish..."
The golden subtitles automatically served as a translation without needing any additional mental command.
"Human?"
Zong Shen nodded without speaking, because he simply could not communicate verbally with Dark Orcs.
Even when he had previously infiltrated the Moblood Clan camp, he had first used the Strategy Module to translate what he wanted to say into ancient Orcish, then copied it onto the ground.
"Gibberish..."
Golden subtitle translation: "By order of the great Blackwater Sword Saint, humans and the Blackwater Army are temporarily allied."
"Gibberish..."
Golden subtitle translation: "You may move about this area, but please state your intentions."
Having said that, the [Mirror Shadow Demon Scout] paused briefly and reached into the head wrapped in its tight-fitting suit, pulling out a black beetle the size of a knuckle.
Zong Shen recognized the thing. Not long ago, he had smashed one apart with the [Patrol Axe (Orange)].
That was a [Blackwater Message Bug (Purple)]!
It seemed that after Firelick Carlrig and Zong Shen had reached a preliminary agreement to cooperate, it had issued orders for the Blackwater Army scouts dispatched to monitor various locations not to attack any humans they encountered.
After all, within the domain of this exclusive challenge, there were only humans and races affiliated
