In this state, every decision made and every use of power by the lord will be recorded by the Order Source Fire.

Just then, Lin Xu suddenly felt an inexhaustible Source Fire power. As a lord, he could use this power to do many things.

He looked at the shrinking Spirit Realm Passage, which was rapidly torn apart and expanded by the fluctuations of the Source Fire.

Meng City is my territory. If you dare to lay a finger on me, I'll chop your head off too!

The orcs on the other side were stunned. Originally, due to the weakening of the Bond, no matter how hard the tribal shamans tried, the passage was still shrinking.

But the next second, the orc shaman who was performing the crossover ceremony came to his senses. He opened his mouth in horror, only to see a flash of light before his eyes, a blade flashed, and a large amount of blood gushed from his headless body.

"Minions, follow me and kill!" The Black Tiger Demon stood on black clouds, his nine-ringed blade slashing with Sha Qi, slaughtering the shamans performing the ritual, leaving them with a trail of heads.

These spellcasters appeared even more vulnerable than ordinary people when faced with the sudden attack of the Tiger Sha Demon Army.

The orc shamans performing the ritual were slaughtered in a short time, and the Tiger Sha Demon Soldiers split into combat squads and quickly launched a surprise attack on the panicked orcs around them.

"How dare you!" The orc chieftain snapped out of his shock and furiously drew his battle axe, slashing it down at the attacking black tiger demon. Several orc warriors around him launched a coordinated attack, sealing off the black tiger demon's escape route.

A phantom white tiger rose from the black tiger demon's body, roaring angrily to the sky, "Awooo~"

The deafening Tiger's Roar of the tiger carried a terrifying power, sending a chill down the spines of the orc warriors who were surrounding them, and their hands, which were wielding weapons, went limp.

"Clang~"

The fierce clash of weapons startled the chieftain awake. Caught in the brunt of the attack, it regained its senses and saw the magnified blade before it. A flicker of fear crossed its eyes. "No!"

The blade slashed down, cleaving the heavy metal helmet and head in two vertically with the nine-ringed sword.

Without wasting a second, the Black Tiger Demon drew his sword and spun around, his body twisting as the blade flashed. The wind, which was supposed to be an obstacle, turned into a boost, propelling the sword's momentum even faster!

"Whoosh~"

Blood splattered as the heads of the two orc warriors, stunned by the tiger's roar, rolled to the ground.

Three mid-level warriors appeared exceptionally weak when faced with the Black Tiger Demon's surprise attack!

From the start of the raid to the death of the orc chieftain, only a few seconds passed; the battle at the tunnel entrance ended in the blink of an eye.

As the Tiger Sha Demon Army, led by the Black Tiger Demon, launched a surprise attack on the panicked orc tribe, a squad of heavily armored Daoist soldiers appeared in battle formation at the entrance of the passage. They swiftly crossed the water-like passage and launched an attack on the orc territory.

Lin Xu stood above the city, his gaze piercing through the Spirit Realm Passage, vaguely sensing the situation on the other side.

Separated by the barrier of reality, like looking through frosted glass, everything "seen" appears blurry and indistinct.

"About 12 li in diameter, seems to be a small tribe..." He took a communication talisman that passed through the passage, probing the information within with his spiritual sense, "According to the Black Tiger Demon's feedback, the tribe has at most 2,000 orcs."

Unlike humans, orcs, these fantastical creatures, represent barbarity and backwardness from the moment they appear. They may be powerful militarily, but their economic and civilizational development is relatively backward.

The orc territory in the Spirit Realm clearly inherited this characteristic; although there was a piece of the Spirit Realm territory, the farmland was full of pasture.

Instead, the animal pens housed large herds of cattle, sheep, and other livestock.

Such resource utilization efficiency is clearly inferior to that of humans.

At this moment, in the orcish territory of the Spirit Realm, the Ghost Bride led her Red-Robed Ghosts across the portal. Her crimson beauty swept over the ravaged altar, and the ghost horde quietly drifted towards the chaotic tribe.

When the skilled warriors charged into the battlefield in neat battle formations, the battle quickly entered its second half.

"Kill!" The last orc warrior rallied several dozen soldiers and launched a fierce charge against the invaders.

They were greeted by a formation of Daoist soldiers, standing in neat rows and marching in silence.

The hundreds of soldiers were divided into small teams of five, maintaining a distance from each other, forming a seemingly loose battle formation.

When the first wave of orcs clashed with the Daoist squad, they were met with a combined attack of halberds.

A cold glint flashed, and the warrior's battle axe fell from his hand. The halberd severed its thick arm. Before a scream could be heard, several flashes of cold light swept through, and the head flew off, the body was torn apart, and internal organs and flesh flew everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, the leading orc warrior was torn to pieces!

The brutal scene instantly extinguished the tribal warriors' passion, and their roars ceased abruptly.

The next second, a wave-like mass of Daoist soldiers surged forward, like roaring waves crashing against the orc skirmishers again and again.

The armored, burly orc warriors were almost immediately scattered and annihilated. In just over ten seconds, by the time the Daoist soldiers stopped their charge, the last resistance of the tribe had been crushed.

The entire tribe's high-ranking members had gathered at the sacrificial altar, only to be ambushed and wiped out by the Black Tiger Demon and his Tiger Sha Demon Army.

Orc warriors who attempted to use the terrain to their advantage were killed one after another, and the surviving orcs were forced to hide everywhere.

When the perceptive Red-Robed Ghosts silently attacked, the orcs lost their last hiding place and were either captured or killed...

"An extra Bond has appeared in the territory..." Lin Xu silently sensed that just after the Black Tiger Demon and his group defeated the orcs and occupied the territory, accompanied by a large surge of Source Fire, he felt an inexplicable connection linking the Xuanwei Monastery with the orc territory.

For some inexplicable reason, his keen intuition told him that the two territories were rapidly approaching each other.

"We must take over this territory!" Lin Xu's heart pounded as he looked at the full view of the orc territory in the communication talisman.

The orcs in this territory have clearly developed over a long period of time, and the entire territory has been fully developed.

Unlike the slightly complex terrain of Xuanwei Monastery, the orcs' territory was a vast grassland covered with lush green grass.

Add to that a large herd of cattle and sheep, as well as captured orc herders and slave laborers, and this was clearly a "natural" ranch!

"In two days at most, this territory will float to the vicinity of Xuanwei Monastery ~" Feeling the deepening Bond, Lin Xu smiled and said, "Delivering goods to your door, consider it compensation for you taking over my Meng City."

Yan Jingshu may seem aloof, but she is actually very capable.

Seemingly because her fierce and malevolent aura had been purified, her intelligence gradually increased. After conquering the territory, she categorized the captured orcs. Those who were unwilling to cooperate were imprisoned and guarded by the Tiger Sha Demon Army, while those who were willing to cooperate were allowed to restore the territory's production under the supervision of the Daoist soldiers.

The orc system is barbaric, and the entire tribe can be roughly divided into three classes: nobles, warriors, and slaves.
