Capítulo 19: Black Rock Orc
Editor: Atlas Studios
Although Xiao Yu had made up his mind, he knew that it would be impossible for him to beat the newbie village with his Mud Horde. Putting aside the fact that the NPCs were much stronger than monsters at the same level, there were just too many NPCs there. There was an unknown number of Adventurer players that could revive too.
He would need some help in order to pull this feat. Luckily, there was more than one Monster Force in Night Whisper Forest. Since "my enemy's enemy is my friend", those Monster Forces could be used by him.
Back at the Chief's Tent, Xiao Yu opened Night Whisper Forest's map and checked the Monster Forces here. There was a total of five main forces.
The strongest Monster Force was the Gnoll Camp at the south side of Night Whisper Forest. Their leader was named Hogg. He led about 80 Gnoll Warriors, Gnoll Scouts, and Gnoll Predators. Gnolls had higher fighting power than Goblins, and Hogg was playing a Level 14 Elite Mode character with 666 HP. He had extremely high damage and could kill low level players easily. He was the top monster in Night Whisper Forest.
The second strongest Monster Force was the Bandit Camp. It was a division of the Shadow Brotherhood (the Shadow Brotherhood was a strong force based in West Wild.) They had about 70 fighters and a Rare Elite leader called Blake Rhode.
The third was Xiao Yu's Goblin Camp.
The fourth one was located at the edge of the map. It was a mine controlled by Kobolds. Their leader was Golden Tooth. He had the largest fighting force of 200, but they were very weak.
The fifth one was located near Black Water. It was a Murloc Camp. There were about 60 soldiers that were weak too. Their leader was called Blind. They were very weak and badly positioned. Xiao Yu decided not to include them.
Other than them, there were lots of other beasts around. However, they did not have an organized system and would attack randomly. Xiao Yu had no interest in those.
Thus, he would need help from the Gnolls, the Kobolds, and the Bandits in order to attack the newbie village.
Time to send them an invitation.
Xiao Yu wrote a letter and made several copies. He asked some Goblin Slaves to deliver the letters to the leaders mentioned. They were supposed to meet at the deserted building in Night Whisper Forest three days from now.
The contents of the letters were very simple: I'm the new Goblin Chief, Eric. I have something important to discuss with you guys regarding the growth of Night Whisper Forest. Do attend this meeting if you still want to stay in Night Whisper Forest. Xiao Yu bluffed a little as he believed that they would definitely be convinced if they attended the meeting.
The reason for the later date was so that he could train some soldiers in these few days so that he would appear more confident in the meeting.
When this was done, Xiao Yu quit the game and went to sleep.
The next day, Xiao Yu woke up and had a quick breakfast before jumping into the gaming capsule.
He was surprised that he was not the first one to log on. Killer Codename 38 was there in the tent too.
Seeing that Xiao Yu was online, Killer Codename 38 said in a panic, "Boss! There are some Orcs outside. Can you go check them out?"
"Orcs? What happened?" Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment and then quickly went outside with his staff.
He was relieved to see three dark-skinned Orcs sitting beside the Campfire eating frog meat.
"They are the monsters attracted by the Campfire. It's okay, no need to be alarmed." Xiao Yu patted Killer Codename 38 and then walked towards the Orcs.
Xiao Yu was actually very puzzled. How could Orcs be attracted here? Were there any Orcs here in Aizelasi? Why was their skin black?
Xiao Yu cleared his throat and said, "Hi, guys. I'm the chief of the camp, Eric. Where did you guys come from?"
Goblins were born to be looked down upon. Even as the Goblin Chief, the Orcs did not show him any respect. Two of them continued eating, while the other one answered unwillingly, "Goblin Chief, it's okay to tell you. We are part of the Black Rock Horde at Red Hill. We were separated from the main group after fighting Humans. We got lost and wandered here. You can recruit us temporarily if you pay the right price."
System prompt message: Your Campfire has attracted three Black Rock Orcs. Do you want to recruit them?
[Monster Name: Black Rock Orcs Trio]
[Monster Category: Orc (Average size Human-type creature)]
[Monster Rank: Level 11 Normal]
[Monster Skills: Rage (Enter enraged mode and attack enemies with 30% increased attack for 10 seconds.)]
[Recruit Price: 30 Gold, 450 Food, 9 Population]
[Maintenance Price: 30 Food]
[Note: They are three Orcs from Black Rock Mountain. They look exactly like normal Orcs, they're just darker in skin tone.]
On average, each of them cost 3 Population, 150 Food, and 10 Gold. It was one more Population than Goblins, but their attack power was much higher. They had very muscular bodies and looked way better than the green-skinned creatures around here. They were the ideal choice to be bodyguards.
"Sure. You guys will join my horde for now. I'll be your new master. You guys will be my bodyguards for now."
System prompt message: Recruitment completed.
Looking at the Orcs again, their names were changed to Black Rock Orc Warrior (Follower of Eric). The color had changed from Yellow (Neutral) to Green (Friendly).
Xiao Yu was quite happy that he had recruited some men early in the morning. He decided to train more soldiers. In order to do that, he would need to prepare all the resources for them first. Xiao Yu had expended most of his resources yesterday. He would need to start collecting more because now he was just getting started.
He gathered everyone and started distributing missions.
"Fearless, I have a mission for you. Bring two Goblin Overseers and ten Goblin Slaves and harvest the Wood outside. We need a lot of it. Understand?
"Killer Codename 38, you too. Get the same number of people and go to the mud pool and gather Food. As much as possible.
"The rest of the Goblin Slaves start building more Goblin's Basha. We are going to have more Goblins coming soon. They need to have a place to live."
"Yes, Chief," Killer Codename 38 replied. Then he started working. Fearless was hesitating.
"Erm… Chief… I'm okay with gathering Wood. But will I encounter any trouble? There are many beasts around, and what if I meet an Adventurer?"
Xiao Yu comforted him. "No worries, I'll be there scouting. Just focus on your job."
Fearless accepted his mission.
