Guest

Frontline Fortress.

Inside a military tent, Huo Ling met a guest from an orc clan.

This orc wore a beast-hide robe made from Magic Beast pelts and possessed the strength of a seasoned Gold-rank.

The orc had approached an outer patrol of his own accord, declaring that he possessed important intelligence concerning the Half-Orc Empire and needed to present it to the commander.

After being searched, the orc was brought into this military tent.

The orc knelt obediently on the ground. He could sense many powerful auras around him.

Inside the tent were Ren Jingchen, commander of the Security Department; the division commanders of the various Goblin War Divisions; several Sanctuary-ranks who had been captured and signed master-servant contracts with Huo Ling; and several Sanctuary-ranks from the observation delegation.

Huo Ling sat in the seat of honor.

Originally, they had been holding a military council, discussing the strategy for the coming battle.

Then word of this orc reached them. Huo Ling decided to hear him out as well, to see whether he could obtain any new intelligence.

Ren Jingchen rose from his seat. He wore Sanctuary-rank enchanted armor, and his equipment was several times better than when he had first pledged allegiance to Huo Ling.

He walked up to the orc, looked down at him, and asked, "You said you have intelligence about the half-orcs?"

The orc nodded without hesitation. "That's right, my lord. I have intelligence about the Shortblade Clan to tell your army."

"Who are you? Why do you have intelligence about the Shortblade Clan?" Ren Jingchen asked.

"My lord, I am an envoy of the Sharpfang Clan. Our Sharpfang Clan and the Shortblade Clan are sworn enemies. Now that the Shortblade Clan is going to war with you, of course we won't let them have it easy!"
