Chapter 5: Ambushing the Goblin Camp

  At this time, Xiao Yu had already arrived at the base.

  Gromm and ten beast tribe soldiers stood in a row, seeing Xiao Yu arrive, immediately respectfully shouted: "Master."

  For their loyalty, Xiao Yu was very satisfied. At this time, those laborers had already started working, constantly chopping wood and accumulating dozens of long woods near the base. Because there were no good tools, the laborers' speed was also very slow. Xiao Yu inquired about the system and learned that only after having a blacksmith shop could they produce tools to improve their speed.

  However, despite this, the beast tribe's physical strength is still stronger than that of ordinary human workers.

  Looking at the wood, it was enough to build a cave. Xiao Yu decided to let them build a few caves first. Grom and the ten beast tribe soldiers had no place to sleep or rest, standing for a whole night, which was very exhausting. This was also what he asked the system about.

  Now that we have over 4,000 gold coins, let's first recruit thirty soldiers and use the remaining thousand or so gold coins to build a cave and hire several laborers.

  Anyway, there are more than ten beast tribe infantrymen, and the difference is not particularly big.

  At that moment, Xiao Yu threw these bags of gold coins into the town hall, and immediately the number of gold coins on the resource list was displayed as 4657.

  "Produce 30 Beastmen infantry, build a Beastmen den, recruit 30 laborers." Xiao Yu issued the command.

  The Beast Tribe Cave requires 1000 gold coins and 50 wooden planks. Now that the conditions have been met, a summoning can be done for 20 gold coins each, up to 30 times.

  With hard work, they can do a better job, and in the future, build more buildings, mine more resources, and still rely on them. Moreover, at critical moments, they can also fight. Although they are just laborers, they are much stronger than ordinary humans, absolutely born warriors.

  Producing beast tribe soldiers takes time, and only 48 can be produced per day, so Xiao Yu couldn't just wait around here. With a wave of his hand, he took Gromm and ten beast tribe infantrymen out to level up.

  No money now, can only upgrade the hero first, this can also improve a lot of strength, can't just idle around. Time is pressing now.

  Xiao Yu and the eleven beast tribe warriors continued to venture deeper into the Ansora mountain range. Now, with ten more beast tribe infantry added to their ranks, Xiao Yu's confidence grew even stronger. Even against a second-tier magical beast, they might have a chance of winning now.

  Sometimes you tread carefully and encounter many monsters entanglements, but if you go specifically to find monsters, it may not be easy to find them.

  Today, Xiao Yu encountered such a situation, walking for half a day without seeing a single magical beast.

  Leading a group of beastmen in the forest for half a day, until noon, Xiao Yu's stomach growled loudly, and suddenly smelled a wave of meat fragrance coming from the front.

  "Is someone roasting meat?" Xiao Yu suddenly became spirited, but also somewhat worried. In this dense forest, who would be roasting meat?

  The beastmen's sense of smell was more acute than that of humans, and Gromm had caught the scent long ago.

  "Take a look back." Xiao Yu immediately gave Grom the command, with Wind Step, as a scout it was quite good.

  At once, Grom quickly ran in the direction of the smell. Xiao Yu didn't follow him because he was too lazy to move. His physical strength was extremely poor, and after walking for half a day, he was already exhausted.

  It wasn't long before Grom returned and said to Xiao Yu, "Reporting to the master, there is a small tribe of ogres up ahead, with around twenty or more ogres."

  "Ogre?" Xiao Yu was suddenly shocked. His fourth brother in this body had died at the hands of an ogre, and it was no secret that there were ogres in these woods.

  Never thought he would run into him here today.

  The base of the beast tribe can also produce ogres, to a certain extent, ogres are also a branch of the beastmen. Xiao Yu's idea is whether these ogres can be recruited to serve him.

  Now, he urgently needs troops and can't help but think of this idea. He inquired about the system, and as a result, the system's response was that it was not within the scope of system management.

  That is to say, it depends on Xiao Yu's own ability to recruit them, the system does not have this ability. But will they follow him?

  "We're eleven, can we defeat these ogres?" If the recruitment doesn't work out, Xiao Yu thought about eliminating these ogres to gain experience.

  More than 20 giant demons, also a lot of experience. Although there is risk, but at this time when the hero level needs to be upgraded urgently, it can also be considered.

  "Report to the master, this ogre tribe has half of them being young and old, there are only about a dozen adult ogres, we can handle it without any problem." Grom enthusiastically volunteered.

  In the bones of the beastmen, there is a gene that loves to fight, and it is naturally not allowed for the master to look down on himself. Especially heroes like Grom.

  Xiao Yu heard Grom say this, thought for a moment, analyzed the strength comparison. With Grom's current 2nd-level strength and having Invincible Slash, it should be no problem to take on four or five giant demons at once. Adding ten beast tribe infantrymen, if they suddenly launched a surprise attack, they could still succeed.

  "Alright, let's move out." Xiao Yu finally gave the order, leading a group of beastmen as they slowly crept forward. This tribe of beastmen did not like to launch sneak attacks, instead preferring open and honest battles, which allowed them to showcase their strength and ferocity.

  However, this was immediately criticized by Xiao Yu, who educated them that surprise attacks were the way to go in battle, despicability was the key to victory, and baseness was the true nature of a househusband, before letting them sneak past cautiously.

  About two hundred meters ahead, there was a small campsite with some simple tents. In the middle of the open space, a bonfire was lit, and something that looked like meat was being roasted on it.

  After careful identification, Xiao Yu found that the meat hanging on one of the shelves was actually a human thigh, and he immediately vomited.

  "Give me up." Xiao Yu didn't forget to give orders and continued vomiting after giving orders.

  Grom was the first to jump out, and his Wind Walk allowed him to become invisible. He had already infiltrated the group of ogres. When those ogres reacted, picked up their crude weapons, and rushed towards this side, Grom suddenly appeared and made a single slash that killed a strong ogre.

  Ten beastmen infantry also wielded axes, let out a roar, and quickly clashed with the ogre. Xiao Yu spat while nervously observing the battlefield.

  The beastman encountered the giant demon, and their strength was almost equal. Although the giant demon's physical quality was slightly weaker than that of the beastman, they were more agile in shape, and both sides suffered losses in an instant.

  However, with Grom present, his exquisite swordsmanship inflicted heavy casualties on the ogres, and several of them surrounded Grom.

  "3... Get back here, you've already been severely injured, what's the point of running forward?" Xiao Yu loudly commanded the beastman he had designated as No. 3 to retreat, lest he be killed. Xiao Yu had assigned numbers to these beastmen in order to distinguish them, according to the order in which they were produced. No. 3 was the third one produced.

  The 3rd beastman started to be chopped by several giant demons as he rushed to the front, and his body had already been cut open in several places, and one arm was already disabled.

  Originally, as a beastman's ferocity would only stop when they died, but Si Yu, who was used to commanding in the game, immediately had him withdrawn.

  As long as they don't die, there will be a chance to return to the battlefield. If they die, it won't have much effect. A beastman is worth 100 gold coins, and Xiao Yu can't bear to let them die.

  Roar...

  Orc infantry and Grommash kept roaring, Grommash used Wind Walk and Unstoppable Charge in combination, one person killed seven or eight ogres, while the other ogres were all wiped out in less than 3 minutes under the strong attack of the orc infantry.

  Although the ogre is very powerful, the orc infantry is after all a real warrior who has undergone training. These ogres are fighting with their physical instincts, so they are still inferior by comparison.

  For the ogres, a completely different race, Xiao Yu had no mercy. They were cannibals and even if they were children, Xiao Yu did not spare them, killing them all.

  The little demons were actually much taller and stronger than Xiao Yu, a slap from them could send Xiao Yu flying.

  Moreover, these ogres completely did not understand human language and moral norms, unless they were caught like beasts, otherwise they had no consciousness of surrender.

  Ten beastman soldiers were seriously injured, two of them were heavily wounded and the others had minor injuries, nothing serious.

  Gromm also took a few hits, but they weren't very serious injuries. With the orc's robust recovery ability, he would be back on his feet in no time.

  However, the results of this battle were also brilliant, and 23 giant demons were killed at once. Grom gained more than 1,200 experience points and only needed another 800 to level up again.

  System experience calculation, not just by quantity, but also by performance.

  Ambushed a giant troll tribe, battle achievements have experience bonus, that's why there are so many experiences.

  Xiao Yu, being the commander, gained some experience for each of the killed ogres. Now he had accumulated over a hundred experiences, but was still far from leveling up.

  What surprised Xiao Yu was that these beast tribe soldiers also had experience slots, which means they could also level up.

  "Upgradable beastman infantry, haha, powerful." Xiao Yu was extremely excited, looking forward to the upgraded beastman infantry.

  Because two beast tribe infantrymen were seriously injured, Xiao Yu took them back to recover first.

  When I returned to the camp, the beast tribe's den had been built and eleven beast infantry had been reproduced.

  Xiao Yu ordered to put down the two heavily injured Beastmen soldiers and pull up other soldiers, now there are nineteen Beastmen soldiers in total, plus Grom, continuing to level up.

  Along the way, they encountered some more magical beasts. However, a lone magical beast was no match for so many people, so Xiao Yu had Gromm take it on alone, not letting the other infantry gain experience and only leveling up the Sword Saint.

  Now, upgrading the Sword Saint's level is crucial.

  With the manpower, Xiao Yu had the beastman infantry divided into several groups of two, searching for demonic beasts everywhere and then reporting back, before having the Sword Saint go and kill them. Using this method, the rate of discovering demonic beasts was indeed much higher.

  By the time it got dark, Jian Wang had killed a dozen or so magical beasts and finally reached level 3 with a burst of golden light.

  Reached level 3, and once again obtained a skill point, Xiao Yu chose to learn Mortal Strike without any hesitation.

  Fatal Strike (Level 1): 15% chance to deal double damage to enemies.

  The Sword Saint is an agile hero with fast sword speed, 15% chance of high damage, and double damage can further enhance the power of the Sword Saint.

  By nightfall, Xiao Yu had no choice but to return to the castle once again with a worried expression. Although the Sword Saint had leveled up, the crisis was still unresolved.

  No money, no soldiers; how can we resist the great army of Karu?
