It has now developed into a massive search and rescue force, with both the number of teams and the number of personnel increasing several times over.
The search and rescue operation was progressing rapidly, with large numbers of orcs converging on their hiding places.
In addition to searching deeper into the area, we also need to search back in case there are any orcs that haven't been discovered yet.
An Yi had only one requirement for them.
Do not go over the mountaintop.
As for not letting the goblins make any noise, Annie doesn't need to say more.
The orcs' murderous intent towards goblins was so great that it was a miracle if a goblin even uttered a sound.
However, usually, before they could even open their mouths, their heads were pierced through by the orcs.
The Goblin Centurion only has 10 points of toughness. Against an adult male orc with a strength of 30 or more, even the hardest skull is as hard as paper.
The figure of around 30 is based on data tested on Arya. However, actual tests on other adult male orcs showed that, under normal nutritional conditions, their strength could reach over 35.
Even up to 40.
It is no exaggeration to say that this race has every chance of encountering the Goblin King and the Goblin Servant.
Unfortunately, goblins rely on sheer numbers to defeat orcs.
They relied on the goblins' numerical advantage to constantly attack the orcs, exhausting them. Orcs have low resilience; their stamina is at most 10+.
If it weren't for the goblins' relentless attacks, draining the orcs' energy and stamina, they probably wouldn't be in this situation today.
Logically speaking, the orcs, a race known for their high reproductive rate, shouldn't have such a small population.
Goblins were not the only factor that reduced the orc population. Over the past few decades, there have also been massacres caused by the territorial expansion of stronger demon races, resulting in countless orc deaths.
The goblin got lucky.
Furthermore, the goblins continued to further reduce the orc population, decreasing it to a number they could control.
Now, each tribe has only one-third of its original orcs remaining.
After continuous searching and rescue efforts, it was almost dawn.
The rescue operation is not over yet; repeatedly checking for any orcs that have been missed is the most demanding task.
Dawn is not a good thing for the orcs, because the [Stealth] skill only turns them into a cloud of black mist, making them much more likely to be discovered during the day than at night.
But... it's a good thing for humanity.
"How many people are there?" An'i asked the temporary leaders of the various tribes in the orc language.
After some discussion, the orcs had one of the orcs who could speak human language report: "Thirteen tribes, with an average of fifty households per tribe."
Each household has at least two children, and most have three or more.
There are approximately 3,300 people.
There's no time to count the exact number right now, so I can only give a rough estimate.
Some families have two children, some have three, four, or even five; there are slight variations.
“Okay, three thousand three hundred.” An Yi nodded.
Milu glanced around and saw that apart from a dozen or so people standing on the ground, the orcs were all lying on the ground or hiding in the trees.
If someone unsuspecting walked here in the middle of the night, they would definitely be startled.
"flutter!"
With a muffled thud, the orc named Sheri, whom he had met once before, lay down in front of An'i, exposing his belly.
"I am deeply grateful and have no way to repay your immense kindness! Please allow me to express my heartfelt thanks and highest respect!"
An Yi: "..."
"flutter!!"
Immediately, all the temporary leaders present lay down on the ground, showing off their muscular abs, and excitedly thanked An Yi.
"With the utmost respect!"
"Many thanks!"
"Thank you for your help!"
An Yi: "..."
Seeing a group of burly men lying on the ground with their hands raised, An Yi felt that she would have to spend her whole life healing from the shadow she was in.
I suddenly realized that seeing Arya's belly is definitely one of the greatest joys in life.
Arya is now squatting to one side, and hasn't come over to help Anyi translate.
She was in a bad mood, but An Yi wouldn't force her to come.
Anyway...
There's only one thing left to do!
escape!
"Tell all the orcs."
Adult male orcs were on the outermost side, while older children and adult female orcs were responsible for leading the younger children.
I will lead the way. Ten of you will go to the northeast and northwest, and ten of you will go to the southeast and southwest.
"The remaining leaders stayed at the very back to prevent anyone from falling behind and to avoid enemy pursuit," An'i said.
The orcs, who had spent some time in human territory, immediately understood An'i's meaning and reacted swiftly.
Being able to understand and being able to speak are two different things. They just don't speak very well, but if they can understand, they can accurately express their meaning in Orcish.
The information spread rapidly among the orcs.
An Yi also took this opportunity to give Miluko orders. (Eight)
Go and kill the goblins at the cave entrance. (5)
Because a large group of orcs will be leaving the cave soon, and the goblins will definitely notice. 7
Kill them early to prevent them from sending messages or escaping through other channels. (Six)
The goblins on the other side of the mountain are completely unaware of what's happening here, but if the centurions receive the news and chase after them, the orcs, who haven't yet recovered to their full strength, will definitely suffer casualties.
We must get everyone back alive! (Sambal)
"I am coming too……"
Just then, An Yi felt someone tug at his sleeve. Turning around, he saw Aria standing behind him, her face gloomy, her head bowed, not looking at him. Death.
“Okay, let’s go with Miss Miluko.” Annie nodded.
“Clear the way, I’ll follow you,” Arya whispered.
“Mm.” An Yi did not object.
Although Arya's physique cannot keep up with that of a fully grown adult male orc, her skills are by no means inferior to anyone's.
It's no exaggeration to say that even a fully upgraded Goblin Champion might not be able to gain any advantage against her.
“Then, let’s get started.” Annie looked at Miluko.
[Sword Hero: Let her vent.]
Milu nodded firmly and gave An Yi a thumbs up.
To understanding!
With a flash of black shadow, Miluko and Aria disappeared from everyone's sight.
Although the surrounding beastmen had witnessed Miluko's speed many times, they still couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
too fast!
What kind of monsters are these creatures called "humans"?!
Despite having a completely bald head, no ears, and no tail, it was faster than an orc.
What race of orcs are they?
Once all the orc leaders had relayed the message, large numbers of orcs began to move out.
During the operation, both Miluko and Aria returned.
Arya stood silently beside Any, her head bowed, her hands stained with goblin blood.
An Yi didn't ask her anything more.
Kill! Grieve! Be angry! Embark on the path of revenge!
An Yi is not the type of person who would advise others to let go of hatred.
Because he never let go of his hatred for the demons for even a second.
Let anger burn, let hatred engulf you.
Go and become someone that makes goblins tremble with fear.
……
"These humans are so troublesome!" (goblin's words)
Nearly a hundred goblin centurions were entrenched in a small area, constantly battling a bunch of blood-red tentacles.
They suffered heavy casualties, but they successfully surrounded the enemy.
From being killed without even seeing the enemy's face at the beginning, to now, the goblin centurions have surrounded the source of the tentacles with countless ordinary goblins.
In the middle of the tentacles was a red-haired female human.
The speed of the crimson tentacles' attacks slowed down significantly, and they kept retreating.
In the eyes of the goblins, the enemy was already at his last gasp!
We can kill her right away!
However, at that moment, the goblin centurions heard a strange wind blowing through the forest.
The sound of branches trembling, the sound of grass rubbing, the sound of fallen leaves being crushed—what is that...?
