The ogre tribe that attacked the camp this time was smaller, with a combined population of less than thirty people. The range of their activities, not far from the swamp where Savio was hiding. It's just that the necromancer is good at stealing tracks, and the ogre doesn't notice it.

Today, Dunlegin used the Holy Light Token and made a lot of noise, which was immediately discovered by the ogre tribe.

Every human professional is the best food for ogres. Seeing that the humans had entered the territory, the ogre tribe immediately searched and arrested.

Ogres have a superior sense of smell and can clearly smell their prey from several kilometers away. They live in the jungle and are good at tracking their prey, and although everyone left the scene, the camp was still spotted by ogres in the middle of the night.

The ogre tribe that attacked the camp did not have a two-headed ogre mage, and the tribal elder was also very ordinary, reckless and irritable, and recklessly chose to attack after discovering the human camp, only to find that he had kicked down the iron plate. The strength of the enemy far exceeds that of the ogre tribe, and once the advantage of sneak attack is lost, the situation of the ogre immediately becomes very bad.

Richard saw that the defeat of the ogre was decided, so he did not continue to consume mana, and in the territory of the legendary ogre, he had to keep a killer weapon at all times.

At all times, he has to leave enough mana behind to unleash the Starlight Bomb.

Although Richard and Sophia did not make another move, relying on the powerful forces in the camp, they still easily eliminated all the ogres who attacked the camp.

After the battle, the ogre skin was quickly peeled off and collected and stored in the Starlight Vial. Then he dug up the core in the ogre's body. The ogre's brain can be used to refine deep meditation potions, and it is also a highly valuable magical material.

The Dawn Church has deep meditation potion formulas, as well as excellent apothecaries, and the ogre brain is naturally in Dun Lekin's hands.

The ogre skin can be used to refine enchanted armor, and it is a precious resource that is urgently needed in Haaland's territory, and it is in Richard's pocket.

The Ogre Core is also very valuable, and everyone gets some.

Among the three forces, the officers and men of the Wild Lion Legion are the weakest, and they play the smallest role in the battle. The Harland Territory and the Church of Dawn have shared the most valuable treasures.

Annihilated a tribe of ogres, everyone did not dare to delay, packed their bags overnight, washed their bodies and continued to walk back.

The ogre social structure is very primitive, and the transmission of messages between tribes is relatively slow.

After waiting for about three or four days, the nearby ogre tribe noticed the anomaly and discovered that one tribe had been wiped out by the enemy. Seeing that the territory was coming to invaders, the two-headed ogre mage did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent the news to the legendary ogre Greso.

Sensing that outsiders had entered his territory, Greso immediately ordered all the ogres to mobilize and search all the nearby grass and trees.

Soon the necromancer's hidden ruins were detected by ogres.

By the time the news reached the ears of the legendary ogre, Richard and the others had already returned to Flame Castle, and the team had been disbanded.

Because Bernie and the others brought back the glutton's stomach bag, the captain of the Wild Lion Legion immediately asked for credit for them.

Normally, Bernie and the others can get at least five great merits in this operation, but the credit needs to be distributed by forty officers, and although Bernie is the commander, he can divide it into three percent at most, and exchange it for one and a half great merits.

Bernie has been accumulating combat exploits for more than ten years, in addition to exchanging breathing methods, ordinary cultivation resources mostly rely on the subsidy of Harland's territory, and the enchanted armor, weapons, bows and arrows on his body, the second-order iron wildebeest under his crotch, and the Tenghui potions he usually uses, all come from the Harland territory.

There is no need to spend merits to exchange for foreign objects, and after more than ten years of accumulation, Bernie has accumulated seven great merits. His second son, Gavin, and his third son, Thorne, served in the Grizzly Legion successively, and together they accumulated five medium merits.

The merits of the Bernie family are not far from being knighted.

Before last year's Goddess's birthday, Richard dealt with Bernie's eldest son, Donn. His father, William, promised that after the next orc invasion, he would use his military exploits to help Bernie become knighted.

This time Bernie got a big credit and a half, and Richard decided to talk to William and help Bernie get the knighthood ahead of schedule.

has been awarded two countdoms, and the merits under Richard's name have been consumed, but there are still some merits in the names of Sophia and Wendy.

Richard was ready to get Sophia to do a big job and help Bernie become a hereditary baron, easing the relationship between the two sides.

After coordinating the interests within the Haaland family, Richard sent someone to talk to his third uncle, Bernie. Then, through his father's William's relationship, he found the Marquis Allen, the speaker of the noble council, and carried out the knighthood canonization ceremony and completed the demarcation of the territory.

The territories of the newly promoted military nobles are basically in the northern Xinjiang, and the opportunity to obtain the southern fief is very rare. If the third uncle Bernie is knighted earlier, Richard still has a way to help him divide the fief in the middle of the Grand Duchy of Starnik.

But now the territory is divided, and it can only be obtained from the four northern provinces. After all, the third uncle Bernie is a vassal of King Roger, and the fief can only be selected from the royal domain.

Last year, King Roger made several barons in the province of Grotta, which now borders the territory of Haaland, and according to Richard's intentions, he wants the third uncle to put the territory here.

After thinking about it for a long time, Bernie still agreed with Richard's idea, and now the northern territory of Geda Province has been sealed.

The new nobles of the Grant Kingdom can only be divided into two provinces, Grotta and Gascoigne. Relatively speaking, there is no strong nobleman in the province of Gascoigne, and despite the presence of the Flame Legion, it is vulnerable to orc invasion.

The territory is located in the northern part of the province of Gascoigne, and it is difficult to develop.

Although the province of Grotta was also invaded by orcs, the fief could be placed next to the territory of Haaland. With the strong army of Haaland's territory under the care, the territory is relatively safer.

The territory of Uncle Bernie was south of the eastern county of the Grotta River, about three kilometers away from the border crossing that Richard had passed through when he entered Duke Jonathan's territory.

Although the area of this territory is only 1,200 square kilometers, there are more than 200 square kilometers of river valley flatland, with the county of Haaland in the north, unless the orcs can penetrate the eastern county of the Grotta, otherwise it is very safe.

It is also a very high-quality territory in the entire province of Grotta, and if it weren't for the Haraland family's sudden increase in influence, Bernie would not have been able to obtain this territory.

After the third uncle Bernie became a hereditary baron, he set up his second son Gavin as the heir, and Richard and William got together and supported the third uncle with 20,000 gold coins as the early development fund.

Bernie's second son, Gavin, also resigned from the county of Haraland, purchased 1,500 serfs, and returned to the domain to run his own family business.

Richard and the others successfully killed the necromancer after completing the task. The legendary ogre Greso begins to investigate the cause of the demise of the ogre tribe.

Greso has survived hundreds of years in the Eagle Mountains and has been dealing with humans for a long time.

Compared to ordinary ogres, Greso is brutal and experienced. He even used magic to control some of the high-ranking human officials and act as spies for him.

Soon Greso figured out what was going on through various channels.

Finding that Richard and the others had entered the source of the Kaeya River through Songtao Castle, killed the necromancer, and destroyed an ogre tribe along the way, Grayso's brow immediately frowned slightly.

Since the Duke of Breener defeated the orcs and seized the three northern provinces more than a hundred years ago, the territory of the Grant Kingdom has extended more than 200 kilometers to the north. Duke Edward built the castle of Vera in the north and became the rival of the legendary ogre.

The original Duke Edward was a powerful and legendary warrior who organized several expeditions into the interior of the Eagle Mountains to hunt down Grayso. In order to avoid the original Duke Edward, Greso moved his territory to the northeast for a time.

After the death of the original Duke Edward, the legendary ogre moved to his homeland. Over the years, with the decline of the Duke of Edward, it is now even necessary to feed Graysor with a population of several thousand per year.

But humanity has expanded its sphere of influence into the depths of the Eagle Mountains, and Villa Castle is only about a hundred kilometers away from Greso's lair.

Originally, Villa Castle was already a thorn in the side of the legendary ogre, a thorn in the flesh. Greço wanted to uproot the castle all the time.

However, Villa Castle was built very strongly, and it was at the forefront of the north, serving as the northern gateway to the Duke of Edward, and was garrisoned by legionnaires all year round. Even if it is an orc army, it can only be besieged and unable to conquer.

Although the ogre tribe controlled by Greso is not weak, after all, there is not much population, and once the attack on Villa Castle suffers heavy losses, I am afraid that it will not be able to maintain its transcendent status. Whether it is orcs or humans, as long as they have won and lost in this area, they will inevitably free up their hands to crusade against the ogre tribe and take down Grayso's head.

The only thing Greso can rely on now, apart from two or three thousand ogres, is the protection of 80,000 or 90,000 square kilometers of forests in the western part of the Eagle Mountains.

With vast forests to protect, it is almost impossible for humans to mobilize large armies into the mountains.

Without the protection of dense forests, the power of the Jonathan family alone would have been able to dispatch an army of fifty or sixty thousand to uproot the ogres of the Eagle Mountains. At that time, Graysor will be reduced to the commander of the light pole, and he may not be able to save his life.

Although the ogre has mastered some bloodline spells, his spell-casting ability is far inferior to that of a legendary magician like Yelena, and the magic level of the ogre tribe is not as good as that of humans and elves, and there are not many powerful magical creations.

Once defeated, Greso didn't have many escape spells.

As the kingdom of Grant has grown in strength, it has been expanding in the direction of the Eagle Mountains in recent years. With the establishment of the two counties of Haaland and Martins, the territory expanded to the north by about 100,000 square kilometers.

The county of Martins, in particular, is squeezing the living space of the ogre tribe.

Songtao Castle is about 160 kilometers away from Grayso's lair.

Once the county of Martins develops, with a population of six or seven hundred thousand, it will be able to supply the army, and then the kingdom of Grant will be able to send troops from the east and west, and the legendary ogre may not be able to stop it.

Although Richard and the others completely annihilated an ogre tribe, it was only a small matter for Grayso. But the existence of the county of Martins is a piece of Grayso's heart.

It is not an easy task to eliminate the county of Martins. The orcs breached Shoto Castle twice, plundered countless people, killed two Earls of Martins, and did not occupy the area.

With the support of King Roger, even if it was very difficult, the territory was still held by troops.

Now there is also a Toning Legion stationed in Songtao Castle, Martins Castle and other places, plus the private army of the Martins family, the total strength is about 15,000 people.

"Raising a large army and attacking the county of Martins is not a good way to do it. The human kingdom will send reinforcements to fight the main force of the human legion, and consume its own strength, which is tantamount to an egg hitting a stone. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Greso finally decided to let the ogre tribe move eastward, capture the population of the county of Martins, and squeeze the living space of the county of Martins.

Running a territory, if it loses money for many years, even the Roger Kingdom may not be able to withstand it.

Greso's strategy worked very well, and six or seven ogre tribes moved eastward and began to operate near Martins Castle and Songtao Castle, preying on lone humans.

In just a few days, the county of Martins lost several hundred people.

Adult ogres are mid-level professionals, and because of their special racial talents, they are very good at fighting alone.

Once the ogres are scattered, the county of Martins is full of loopholes.

The low population density, poor communication conditions, and immature development of nearby territories made it very difficult for the county of Martins to form a crusading army.

Encountering a large army of humans, the ogre became wiser and would never fight head-on, but retreated into the depths of the forest.

The ogre's strategy is the otherworldly version of guerrilla tactics.

This new tactic immediately made the county of Martins very uncomfortable.

Being continuously bled by the ogre, the Martins family was suddenly unbearable, and even King Roger of Nolan was helpless for a short time.

If you want to solve this trouble, you must draw elite forces and form a professional team to hunt and kill ogres, at least more than a hundred mid-level professionals, and four or five hundred beginner-level professionals can gain the upper hand and drive the ogres away in the jungle.

The nobles of the northern frontier of the Grant Kingdom combined, can be drawn to form this team. It's just that the ogres can't threaten their territory, and the nobles are naturally reluctant to make a move.

There is a legend behind the ogre, and in skirmishes, the legendary pro is an almost crushing force.

Unless Duke Jonathan is transferred, the legendary ogre can be contained. But Duke Jonathan was already the Grand Duke of Starnik, and it was simply impossible to come here and fight for the interests of the Martins family.

If you don't have a strong legendary professional to press the battle, if you want to win the battle, I don't know how many elite people will die?

Even Richard, without lucrative interests, was reluctant to provoke legendary ogres, let alone the vast majority of nobles who did not have a sense of the big picture.

King Roger's royal family, despite its strength, is unwilling to pay for the Martins family, after all, this territory is the territory of the Martins family. The Grant family had no reason to shed blood for the Martins family.
