CHAPTER 124: CHAPTER 84 OGRE_3

At that time, the Count and others were in worse condition than they are now and were not familiar with this place.

Choosing to settle down was entirely out of necessity because the wilderness’s harshness told them that crossing it was nothing short of a dream.

But in such a good place, how could there be no one else?

He quickly moved forward until he saw the shadow, and then he slightly paused, bending down.

It was a massive figure standing a robust three meters tall, making the ground shake with its steps.

An ogre.

Cumbersome stature, bearing a big belly. A huge head with a foolish expression and a mouth full of fangs.

In its hand was a club that looked like a tree trunk, while its other hand seemed to be holding an unknown animal, munching on it.

Behind it was another ogre.

The two ogres swaggered down the path leisurely, as if they were taking a stroll.

Indeed, there was a small ogre tribe here.

Though called a tribe, it only had 5 ogres.

But do not underestimate these 5 ogres; think of their massive four to five-meter-tall figures, sweeping tree trunks as weapons.

This area was their territory, and no one dared to intrude.

Kana followed them for a short distance.

Then, he saw a small camp at the foot of a hill not far away.

There was a bonfire there, though called a bonfire, the flames shot skyward.

There were already two ogres present there.

One of the ogres was about 5 meters tall, holding a wooden staff bound with stones and wood.

Even more noteworthy was that this ogre had two heads.

A dual-headed ogre, belonging to a magic profession.

In the ogre race, it was one of the smarter kinds, although that was only relative to its brethren.

And only one of its two heads had intelligence.

Kana observed, and it seemed no different from the game.

After all, they all belonged to the Eastern Wilderness.

This group of ogres was considered bosses in the game.

Once defeated, they would become a boss that respawned at fixed intervals.

A kind of outdoor mini-dungeon; when the respawn time was reached, they would appear in this area.

Of course, in the real storyline, being defeated for the first time meant they were eliminated.

So, how to quickly resolve these 5 ogres, Kana knew full well.

The simplest and fastest way now is to break them up and defeat them piece by piece, given that their high-level combat strength was somewhat capable.

It would be tough to take on 5 ogres at once, but it’s much easier to tackle them separately.

After confirming that the situation hadn’t changed, Kana began to return.

His simple plan could basically be confirmed as feasible and could slowly start to be implemented.

Soon, everyone regrouped.

"Indeed, it’s a good place," Blake said.

Alyris and Bobo also nodded, agreeing from different angles of observation that this was indeed a very nice settlement.

"But why is there no one else in such a nice settlement?" Anita asked with a frown.

At this point, George slightly raised his hand and said, "I saw signs of battle, several trees forcibly broken.

And huge footprints, about this big," he gestured as he spoke.

Kana chimed in, "I found them; it’s a group of ogres."

"Ogres?! A group?!" Both Bobo and Anita exclaimed in unison.

The surprise in their voices was unabashed.

Kana nodded, "That’s right, there are 5 of them, and one has two heads."

"Forget it, let’s see if there’s another place," Bobo couldn’t help but say.

Anita also nodded, "Yes, there’s indeed a reason why no one is here."

Unlike the puzzled Alyris and others at the moment, they knew full well what ogres meant, let alone a group of them.

Ogres, although not very clever, aren’t completely stupid.

So, there exists the concept of ogre mercenaries.

Although these ogres are chaotic, disobedient, demand high fees, and have huge appetites,

they still tempt many lords or generals to hire them; they’re terribly effective in battle.

Standing there alone exudes an oppressive force, and once they charge into enemy lines, it’s simply a nightmare.

They can even be used as siege weapons.

The benefits, in war, manifest themselves more spectacularly than the drawbacks.

But finding willing-to-be-hired ogres who won’t randomly harm others is not easy.

In a way, ogres are synonymous with brute force.

And there are 5 of them, not to mention including a dual-headed ogre, which is indeed an extraordinary existence.

"Let me take you to see them,"

Kana said, leading the group toward the earlier direction, and soon they heard hearty laughter.

The laughter was sincere and loud.

Then they saw the five enormous figures sitting around the fire.

"Oh my god," George couldn’t help but exclaim.

Alyris and the others were stunned too.

Just looking at their size and strength, it was clear these things were not to be messed with.

Obviously, they all realized that this good place would have to be abandoned; there weren’t so many good things awaiting them to pick up cheaply.

But only Alyris said, "How do you plan to deal with them, Your Highness?"

This statement silenced the scene.

Kana couldn’t help but smile, giving Alyris a thumbs up, "Alyris knows me best."

This meant Kana really intended to take out these five ridiculously big fellows.

It could only be said that he indeed had courage, but since Kana was sure, Blake and the others stopped saying anything and listened to Kana’s strategy.

"Do you really intend to face them directly?" Bobo couldn’t help but say.

Anita also looked at him with an expression suggesting he was insane.
