The Merchant Caravan Returns

Orks, after all, just summoned creatures.

It is not advisable to occur in many situations.

As a lord, Chen Changhe couldn't rely on the God's Chosen's power for everything.

He needs to cultivate a powerful army.

An army capable of conquering the world for him.

The exploration of the area surrounding the territory was a test for him and Vasili and his men.

However, Vasili and his team gave a perfect answer.

During the exploration, one will inevitably be attacked by Corrupted Creatures.

Although the Ork Miracle Perfume can block the senses of Corrupted Creatures.

However, Chen Changhe did not allow them to use it.

Instead, they were made to carry large amounts of raw meat to attract Corrupted Creatures.

Faced with hordes of Corrupted Creatures charging towards them, an ordinary person would have already collapsed.

But Vasili and his men not only persevered, but their strength also grew with each battle.

Vasili is already a fourth-tier Fighting Aura Knight, and among the other soldiers, two have broken through to become third-tier Fighting Aura Knights, and three have become Second-Tier Battle-Qi Knight.

There were also a dozen or so soldiers who were not originally Fighting Aura Knights, but who naturally awakened their Fighting Aura and became First-Tier Battle-Qi Knight.

It should be known that anyone who can awaken Fighting Aura naturally without the aid of Fighting Aura qi potions is a prodigy.

Not only can Orkification improve the physical fitness of the people, it can even enhance their talent for cultivating Fighting Aura qi.

The slain, Corrupted Creatures were dragged into the territory and then devoured by the Orks.

The strength of these Orks has been enhanced to some extent.

Although they were all summoned creatures that Julia summoned using green mushrooms as a medium.

However, in reality, their true forms are Orks that originally existed in Chen Changhe's Divine Domain.

These are projections of the Orks.

Although it's a projection.

However, their physical changes will also affect their original forms within the Divine Domain.

After absorbing the Corruption Divine Power and gaining strength, the Orks' physical forms were naturally strengthened in tandem.

In addition to eliminating the Corrupted Creatures, they also collected a large amount of supplies.

Some of these supplies belonged to creatures who died in the Northlands decades ago, while others belonged to adventurers who entered the Northlands in the last ten years or so.

Even more so the latter.

Decades have passed, and the first batch of monsters that turned into Corrupted Creatures have grown stronger and stronger under the corrosive influence of the Corruption Mists.

Except for a very small number that remained, the vast majority of these Corrupted Creatures have left the outer areas and entered the more dangerous Northlands inner region.

However, those newly transformed Corrupted Creatures are much weaker.

Time passed by, little by little.

Nine days after the merchant caravan led by Ma Dexiang left the territory, he finally led the caravan back to the territory.

They brought back not only 30,000 gold coins, but also 2,100 slaves.

These slaves were all in excellent physical condition, and half of them were Demi-humans.

These Demi-humans exist in various races.

However, most of them are inferior races Demi-humans.

Only a few belong to higher-level Demi-humans such as the wolf or Tiger Clan.

Beastfolk are divided into several levels based on their race and bloodline: low, medium, high, and special.

Generally speaking, Beastfolk who transform from herbivores belong to a lower-level Beastfolk race.

However, there are exceptions; for example, the Deerfolk are considered higher-level Beastfolk.

Slightly stronger than the lower-level Beastfolk are the middle-level Beastfolk, most of whom are Beastfolk.

Most of the higher Beastfolk race are Beastfolk transformed from carnivores.

The elite Beastfolk consist of only one race.

Behemoth Beastfolk.

Beastfolk, also known Behemoth Beasts.

They are enormous in size and possess immense strength; they are the war god race of the Beastfolk.

Beastfolk of this race are generally over three meters tall.

The strongest among them are even 4 to 5 meters tall, and their physical defense is extremely terrifying, as if their entire bodies are made of steel.

Based on their bloodline origins, Demi-humans are also divided into lower, middle, and higher classes.

The Behemoth Beasts is quite special.

There will absolutely not be any Behemoth Beasts.

Regardless of which race they have offspring with, the final descendants will all be Behemoths.

However, this race has an astonishingly low reproductive rate.

It's only slightly taller than a dragon.

"I am your lord, Wang Zizhen, Baron of Blackwater Fief, and also your master!"

"Welcome to Blackwater Fief! From now on, this is your home!"

"And we will all be family, loving each other."

Chen Changhe looked at the slaves, whose eyes were filled with curiosity, and spoke to them.

He could tell that the slaves were very wary of him.

Especially those Demi-humans.

Because of the discrimination they suffer, the Demi-humans race harbors extreme hatred for humans.

For tens of thousands of years, they have never given up their struggle against the rule of the Human Kingdom.

However, it has never been successful.

Although the individual strength of Demi-humans is quite good.

But they are nowhere near as good as those Beastfolk.

The Human Kingdom are not even afraid of the Beastfolk Kingdom.

Why would they be afraid of those Demi-humans?

Every time the Demi-humans rebelled, the Imperium would not hesitate to send troops to brutally suppress them.

Each crackdown results in the deaths of hundreds of thousands.

Over the years, the hatred that the Demi-humans harbored towards humans had reached a certain level.

Even higher than those Beastfolk.

It is said that in recent decades, a mysterious Demi-humans organization has been working to bring the Demi-humans back into the embrace of the Beastfolk Kingdom.

To achieve this goal, they have been relentlessly assassinating the Imperium's nobles for years.

Chen Changhe saw the slaves all with their heads down, whispering among themselves.

Clearly, they completely disagreed with what he said.

"I know you don't believe what I just said."

"But it doesn't matter."

"What matters is not what you say, but what you do."

"I believe that once you have been in the territory for a while, you will come to agree with my views."

"Most of you were slaves, bought by me."

"However, even slaves are not inferior to others in my territory."

"Here, you don't need to kneel before anyone, nor do you need to worry about being killed by anyone in a fit of rage without asking why."

Chen Changhe's words attracted a lot of attention.

Isn't that nonsense?

Since they are already slaves...

That would naturally make one lower than anyone else.

That would definitely make one feel inferior.

"In a little while, someone will come to arrange your next tasks."

Similarly, someone will assign you housing afterwards."

"Here, you reap what you sow."

"Even if you are slaves, you can still receive a certain amount of reward based on the amount of work you complete."

"Of course, doing the same work, you will earn 30% less than ordinary free citizens."

"However, as long as you can gather 10 gold coins, you can apply to the territory to purchase your freedom."

"As long as you buy your freedom, you can be converted into free citizens of the territory and enjoy all the benefits of the territory."

"As for the specific benefits of the territory, I will not go into detail here."

There will be someone specifically assigned to promote it to you then."
