The Black Wolf Chieftain's axe came down, brimming with confidence.

But after the axe struck, the Black Wolf Chieftain's expression changed. He felt his axe being blocked. How was that possible?

"Magic Power Ring! Activate!"

Xiao Hen murmured softly. At once, the emerald-green ring on his finger flashed with green light, and a circular Magic Power Shield tightly protected him.

Xiao Hen did not waste any time. Holding his longsword in his right hand, he seized the opportunity and stabbed fiercely.

Squelch!

The sword pierced through the Black Wolf Chieftain's chest, sending him after Ironfang.

"Y-You... you actually have magical equipment? How is that possible?" The Black Wolf Chieftain was stunned, then suddenly understood. But after glancing at the blade that had pierced through his chest, he knew it was too late. His eyes were filled with unwillingness and regret. His tribe had yet to conquer this world, but unfortunately, he would never see that day.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Before dying, the Black Wolf Chieftain desperately hammered Xiao Hen's Magic Power Shield with his huge axe. He struck it several times in succession, yet the shield remained unbreakable. The Black Wolf Chieftain's movements grew slower and slower until, at last, his hands fell limp, his huge axe dropped to the ground, and his tall, muscular body crashed down.

"Ah? Chieftain!"

"The Chieftain lost! This human cheated!"

"That's right! He actually used magical equipment!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

The Orcs charged at Xiao Hen like madmen. The Black Wolf mounts were extremely fast. Xiao Hen swept his gaze around. At this point, there was no way he could escape. Looking at the Magic Power Shield again, it had already consumed quite a bit of energy after taking several attacks from the Black Wolf Chieftain. It probably would not last much longer.

"Since I can't run, then you green-skinned monsters can have a taste of modern weaponry!"

A hint of madness appeared in Xiao Hen's eyes. He pulled the longsword from the Black Wolf Chieftain's corpse and, along with the Black Wolf Chieftain's huge axe, stored them in the Storage Space.

Then he took out countless grenades from the Storage Space, almost every grenade he had.

"Come on, then!" Xiao Hen looked at the Orcs charging in from all around him. The nearest had already reached within twenty meters, while those farther away had thrown down the ropes tethering their human captives and charged over while waving clubs and other weapons.

Xiao Hen quickly pulled the pin from a grenade and skillfully threw it toward the first Orc charging at him. He had calculated the detonation timing as well. With a slap, it landed in the Orc's path. Just as the Black Wolf mount stepped into range, boom! The grenade exploded, blasting the entire Black Wolf mount into the air. The Orc on its back had both legs blown off and collapsed to the ground, unable to move any farther.

"Heh, not bad power." Xiao Hen sneered and moved both hands in rapid succession, pulling the pins from more than ten grenades.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

One grenade after another flew out, all accurately thrown by Xiao Hen into the Orcs' path. Several were even thrown directly onto the Orcs themselves. The instant they touched their bodies, they exploded with a thunderous boom. Under that terrifying force, half the chests and heads of those unlucky Orcs were blown away. The Black Wolves beneath them howled as they fell, their bodies convulsing.

"No, this human has too much magical equipment! We can't beat him! Run!" An Orc on the outskirts suddenly came to his senses and shouted.

"Kill him! Kill this human! Orcs have no cowards!"

"There are no useless cowards in the tribe who flee without fighting! Charge!"

However, after seeing so many Orcs die, the remaining Orcs were already consumed by fury. They were unwilling to retreat just like that.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Grenade after grenade continued to fly out. Amid the repeated explosions, Orc after Orc died. At last, fear filled the minds of the final few Orcs. They turned their wolves around and fled into the distance.

"Trying to run? Try some rocket projectiles!"

Xiao Hen looked at the fleeing Orcs in the distance and smiled coldly. He took four rocket projectiles from the Storage Space, then took out the launcher, loaded it, aimed at the fleeing Orcs, and pulled the trigger.

Whoosh...

Trailing red flames, the Rocket Projectile howled through the air toward one of the Orcs.

Boom!

The power of the Rocket Projectile needed no explanation. That Orc and his wolf were blown to pieces.

"Not bad. Again." Xiao Hen loaded another Rocket Projectile and fired at another Orc. Boom! Another Orc was blasted into fragments.

Boom!

Boom!

Two more explosions followed. The other two Orcs failed to escape as well, and were blasted into pieces by the rocket projectiles. At this point, every Orc that had attacked the two villages had been wiped out.

"Ace!"

Xiao Hen smiled as he put away the launcher. Looking over the battlefield full of Orc corpses and severed limbs, he beckoned toward the forest.

Walsay, who had been hiding in the forest, immediately ran over eagerly. He was still in shock. Wasn't this man a swordsman? How had he become a mage? And why were those magical items so terrifying?

"M-My lord, you're truly incredible! You actually killed so many green-skinned monsters all by yourself!" Walsay came over and showered him with praise.

"Enough nonsense. Hurry up and untie these people!" Xiao Hen glanced at him and ordered.

"Yes, yes, my lord. Don't worry, I'll go right away." Walsay was about to leave when Xiao Hen stopped him and tossed him a dagger. "Use this to cut the ropes!"

Xiao Hen took out a bottle of mineral water and gulped it down. Then he patted his chest and coughed up another mouthful of clotted blood, finally feeling much better. Those Orcs' brute strength was truly terrifying. Luckily, he had not fought them head-on.

Walsay took the dagger over to the human captives. They had long been stunned by the battle between Xiao Hen and the Orcs. They had never imagined that among humans, there could be someone whose combat strength rivaled those green-skinned monsters, aside from the great Guardians.

But this man used a sword, so he was clearly not a mage. Could such a powerful warrior have appeared among the knights and swordsmen of the human kingdom?

"Walsay, you brat, you actually managed to find such a powerful helper!" said a middle-aged man whom Walsay had freed.

"Yeah, yeah! How are you so lucky?" another brown-haired young man muttered.

"Hahaha, I was being chased by a green-skinned monster before when I happened to meet this great swordsman. The great swordsman saved my life and even asked me to lead him here, to where you were being held!" Walsay chuckled. "If I hadn't led the way, you might have been eaten by these monsters. Hehehe."

"Get lost. The one who saved our lives was this great swordsman, not a bastard like you!" Several villagers nearby looked at Walsay disdainfully, then turned their gazes toward Xiao Hen, their hearts full of gratitude.

With help from those Walsay had freed, all the human captives were soon untied. They gathered around Xiao Hen, and some even knelt and kowtowed, thanking him for saving their lives.

"All right, everyone, get up. There's no need for such ceremony. I simply couldn't stand the Orcs' brutal actions." Xiao Hen helped an elderly man to his feet.

"My lord, your kindness is too great. Everyone in Oak Village was saved by you. H-How can we ever repay you?" Tears of gratitude streamed down the old man's face. Hearing this, the others all chimed in, "Yes, yes! How can we ever thank you?"

"I want to go to Stormwind City. If any of you have been there, then as thanks, take me to Stormwind City!" Xiao Hen said with a smile.

"My lord, I've been there!" The middle-aged man who had spoken to Walsay first brightened and immediately raised his hand.

"My lord, my lord, I've been there too! I've been there too!" Walsay hurriedly raised his hand and shouted.

The middle-aged man scratched his head. This kid had been to Stormwind City? How had he never heard about it?

Only the old man felt somewhat doubtful. This man did not even know how to get to Stormwind City. Could he really not be a human powerhouse?

"You should all return and rebuild your village first!" After saying that, Xiao Hen nodded to the middle-aged man and Walsay. "You two, take me to Stormwind City!"

"Yes, my lord!"
