Chapter 138: The Orc Emperor
Bato walked out of the cave and didn't dare to stay longer, and immediately led the army to retreat, for fear that if they stayed for a while, they would recruit some strong people, and in extreme fear, they only brought out the corpses of a few of their own legendary-level powerhouses, and even the corpses of those saint-level shamans and even the Thunderbird King, which was of high value to the orcs, for fear that if they did this, they would anger a powerful existence.

The orcs retreated very quickly, and Cecil and the other five resurfaced after seeing them withdraw from a high vantage point. The five of them smiled knowingly, although it was a temporary team, but the five of them felt that each other was still a person to contact in the process of cooperation, although they didn't trust each other much, but at least they had some good feelings. At least there wasn't any of the intrigue of the average wild team.
"Now our team is disbanded, according to what I said before, each person who completes this task will be rewarded with 200,000 gold coins, and I have distributed this part of the gold coins to everyone in advance when I redistribute it, so that I can report to the duke by myself." Captain Hudson said.
Everyone has no opinion, everyone knows that Hudson will definitely be in a hurry to negotiate with the Duke after he gets the detailed vein map again, so he is in a hurry to disband the team, and the team is indeed worthless now, as for the 200,000 gold coins, they don't pay much attention to it now, this time the harvest is too big, and the reward of 200,000 gold coins has become a small amount that no one pays attention to.
In this way, after descending the mountain to the nearest human town, several people parted, Cecil decided to return to Isara, the capital of the kingdom of Soroland, to see the situation, and the Grand Knight of Osmond should now also lead the team back to the royal city, Cecil decided to find out the situation.
Mudstone City, the imperial capital of the Orc Empire:
The habits of orcs are very different from those of humans, and compared to the luxurious palaces of humans, even the emperor of the orc empire lives a relatively simple life. This is the case with the emperor of the Orc Empire, the palace he lives in must be ridiculed if the human emperor sees it, the palace made of bluestone has no traces of decoration, even the mansion of the human baron is more luxurious than his palace, but this monarch does not care at all. He was now sitting in his humble house, waiting for news from afar.
A legendary Orc hidden class berserker and a powerful Apocalypse, this powerful monarch is generally superior to strength and weak to resourcefulness, and even the scheming shamans are not very scheming. The berserker, on the other hand, has shown an extraordinary talent, showing his amazing abilities from birth. Needless to say, from the time he was less than ten years old, he could confront real orc warriors head-on, and when he became an adult and became a berserker, no one had the idea of fighting him alone.
What's even more terrifying is that the chief's son is scheming and doesn't seem to be like an orc at all, his father prefers his half-brother, so he killed his father by trickery, and killed his brother without hesitation, and married his stepmother without hesitation, and quickly gave birth to 2 sons with his stepmother, to stabilize his stepmother's clan and support power, and after a turmoil, his tribe did not have any loss of strength except for the death of two people, which is rare in the orc empire.
In the following decades, he continued to use various means, bribery, plotting, military attack, treacherously annexing the surrounding small tribes, until ten years ago, the orcs who had always been scattered finally built a huge empire, and Korqin was the first emperor of this empire.
Although he became the emperor of the orc empire, Korqin knew that the foundation of his empire was very superficial, and it was actually the result of the temporary compromise of several large tribes, and if he wanted to have a say in the outside world, he must have great merit and unparalleled prestige. Then foreign war has become his only choice, but because the Orc Empire does not have a strong centralized power, Korqin's actions are also subject to other tribes, so there has been no war between the Orc Empire and the Sorolan Kingdom to the south of them for ten years.
But recently, the situation has changed, in the battle of the Demon Gate, the Sauroran Kingdom lost nearly a dozen legendary powerhouses and nearly 100,000 soldiers, and its strength was greatly reduced at once, and the deployment of troops was immediately dwarfed, and the border between the Sauroran Kingdom and the Orc Empire suddenly became insufficient. The already ambitious orc emperor immediately had a chance and was ready to move.
The Orc Emperor was thinking about attacking the Saurolan Kingdom, if he could catch the Thunderbird King in the Great Border Wilderness, then he would have added a powerful combat power, and it was even possible to directly destroy the Sauroran Kingdom, Korqin was immersed in a pleasant fantasy, and suddenly heard the soldier's report that General Barto was coming to see him.
Korqin was immediately shocked when he heard that General Bato was coming, and he sent four legendary powerhouses, if they came back together, the soldiers would never send Bato out alone, and reported Bato alone to show that the capture team he excluded was more than lucky.
Sure enough, the returning Sword Saint Barto walked up to the emperor tremblingly: "I've seen the emperor, it's not good, the four adults of Narciss, Kentes, Clara, and Royala all died in the cave of the Thunderbird King."
"And what about the Thunderbird King?" Korqin's face was gloomy and dripping blood, and he asked coldly
"The Thunderbird King died in the cave at the same time." Even Barto's voice trembled when he answered.
After hearing this, Korqin said coldly: "How many shamans have returned from the shaman group used to control the Thunderbird King?" “
"The shamans are all dead, too." When Barto said this, cold sweat was already flowing all over his head.
"How did they die?" Korqin's voice was still very calm, but there was a ruthless meaning that made people feel frightened.
"Attacked by a squad of adventurers." Barto said
"Adventurer squad? What squad? Who are they? Korqin felt like he had blown up his lungs.
"A Holy Mage, a Holy Mystic Mage, a Holy Assassin, and a Level 70 Paladin and a Level 5 Sacrifice," Barto replied.
"Why didn't you catch them back" The emperor had already begun to play with the big sword in his hand at this time.
