Volume 5: King of the Mountain Chapter 253 Beast Man
The warship slowly approached the dock of Nanhai Town. The group of people couldn't wait to get off the ship. After a short stay at the port, they immediately prepared to set off for the city of Alterac.
However, when they entered the city and were ready to take action, they were stopped by the mayor of Nanhai Town.
"Your Highnesses, it is getting late today and it will be dark soon. There are beastmen everywhere outside the city and it is not safe. It is better to wait until tomorrow morning to avoid any accidents."
Darkseid (Prince of Alterac): "Stop talking nonsense. They are just some beastmen. We four brothers are so powerful that we are not afraid of them no matter how many of them come. But it is always better to be careful. Gather the defenders in the city. I will take them to Alterac to participate in the battle."
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. The garrison in the city was transferred away three days ago. Now there are only a few dozen guards in the city, and the militia gathered from nearby villages and towns."
Darkseid was a little surprised, "What? Whose order is this?"
"Of course it is His Majesty's order."
"Fuck!" Darkseid hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the three men, "Brothers, how about we stay here tonight? Those beastmen are actually quite troublesome."
Oh my god, you change your expression so quickly.
Murphy was puzzled: "Didn't the Frostwolf orcs all flee to Alterac Valley? How come some of them are still here?"
Darkseid explained: "Strictly speaking, Beastmen are not Frostwolf orcs, but wild monsters from the Horde. You know there are many bandit fortresses in Alterac, right?"
Murphy nodded. Of course he knew this. When he was completing missions, he had visited many bandit fortresses and even got a Blade Flurry skill book.
The bandit fortress is called a fortress, but it is actually a stronghold. Generally, every stronghold will have an elite bandit leader, and some will also spawn small BOSSes, which are equivalent to large wild monster strongholds. Generally, if adventurers do not have any dungeons to fight, they will also spawn in the bandit fortress, which can upgrade and get treasure at the same time.
Darkseid explained, "When the Frostwolf tribe marched, they took down all the bandit fortresses they encountered along the way. After they passed, these bandit fortresses became beastman fortresses and began to spawn beastman monsters.
These beastmen do not belong to the Frostwolf Orcs, but are wild monsters spawned by the system. However, they are allied with the Frostwolf Orcs and will not attack players of the tribe.
Moreover, these beastmen are quite powerful, with an average level of over 30. The small bosses they kill are also more powerful than the previous bandit leaders. The most terrible thing is that they often lead their minions out of the fortress for patrols. Usually, there are dozens of people in a team. It is quite dangerous if you accidentally encounter them."
Mo Fei thought to himself, "There is such a thing. There are only a few dozen orcs. They shouldn't pose a threat to us, right?"
"If it were just these beastmen, there would be no problem, but Durotan left some Frostwolf cavalry wandering in the wilderness. If these beastmen can't beat them, they will blow the horn to summon the Frostwolf cavalry. Although the probability is small, it will be troublesome if we encounter them."
Murphy nodded, accepting this statement.
"But how can I turn a wild monster base into an allied wild monster?"
"I don't know, but we discussed it at the beginning and guessed that it was most likely the effect of a certain orc hero's hero feat."
This is very possible. The hero's expertise depends entirely on experience, and all kinds of strange things may appear.
After hesitating for a while, Murphy finally agreed. It was indeed not safe to march in the wild at dark.
They stayed in Nanhai Town that night. At dawn the next day, the four of them gathered together, bringing with them more than seventy North Wind Knights and Snow Mountain Rangers.
Another 800 sailors were recruited from the navy, and with the addition of four guards, it was considered a formidable army.
After leaving the gate of Nanhai Town, they marched rapidly towards the Alterac Mountains.
Not long after walking out of the city, Murphy felt the change in the atmosphere within the kingdom.
Abandoned farms and burnt wheat fields, breached watchtowers and corpses of guards lying on the roadside, as well as beastmen can be seen everywhere in the wild.
These orc monsters have completely replaced the ecological niche of the bandit monsters in the past. They appear in groups of three or five, gather in orc camps, or refresh around abandoned farms and watchtowers.
The red names look shocking. These wild monsters have no intelligence. They will not hide when they see a large group of people, but keep rushing up to die.
After walking for more than an hour, we killed hundreds of them.
From time to time, you can see teams of adventurers fighting with these beastmen, killing monsters and leveling up.
It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of these beastmen is obviously much stronger than those bandits and robbers in the past. Not only are they of higher levels, higher health and higher damage, but the number of elite monsters is also much greater.
A team of adventurers often has to rely on numbers to dare to fight monsters, and the battle is very difficult.
When we reached a crossroads, we suddenly saw a group of orcs chasing a group of human adventurers running towards us in the distance.
Murphy took a quick glance and found something wrong. The orcs had all kinds of equipment and different professions. Their names also changed from the original monster names like Orc Bandits and Orc Raiders to names that were obviously player-style. The leader was called "Anran Xiaohunfan", and he was obviously an adventurer from the tribe!
The levels of these tribal adventurers were generally not high, with the highest being only in the thirties, but their numbers were extremely large, as many as thirty or forty people, while there were less than ten adventurers from the Alliance. They were chased away and when they saw the large force led by Murphy, they immediately ran over to seek shelter.
I finally felt relieved after hiding in the team.
Those orc players didn't dare to chase after them, but they didn't run away either. Instead, they stood far away, mocking and cursing.
"Haha, if you can't beat them, just ask the NPC for help. The Alliance dogs are really useless trash."
"That's right. Our level is so low, why are you running? The people who killed us before were quite powerful."
The players in the alliance here are not willing to be outdone.
"Fuck, why are you pretending? Your tribe relies on your large numbers, so why are you coming to fight us?"
"You're right, your tribe is trash - all trash!"
"Damn it, you thought I didn't dare. After these NPCs leave, I'll see how you die."
Murphy listened to the quarrel between the two sides and finally couldn't help it.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "I say, how can you tell that we are NPCs?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence on both sides.
"What are you waiting for? Charge!" Darabonba gave an order, and dozens of cavalrymen immediately formed a cavalry line and charged forward, followed closely by hundreds of Alterac sailors. The Alliance adventurers were overjoyed when they saw this and hurried to catch up.
