Edward and his companions naturally did not expect that the orc patrol team they casually killed on the road would become their greatest vulnerability.

Indeed, even among human nations, a noble doesn't know how many peasants are beneath him, let alone these lowly and ugly beastman tribes. In some large tribes, members often go hunting and are bitten by poisonous snakes, or are killed by prey, or encounter unknown dangers and never return.

For those great tribes, maintaining core strength is enough, since new beastmen join every day and others die as well. Who would care if some beastmen have encountered enemies and been killed?

Wan Lun and others led their team across the Kawa Great Forest, entering the central territory without any trouble, precisely because of this.

But how could they have known that the Dragon Nest Tribe's system was completely different from other beastman tribes? This became their greatest mistake.

One by one, orc armies poured out of the Dragon Nest Tribe, like an unstoppable steel flood, with terrifying and fearsome momentum in their orderly steps, as if everything in front would be destroyed under the impact of this torrent.

At the forefront of the team, Rodney led the way, with the orc隊長s bristling with long spears silently following behind.

As one of the earliest orcs to undergo the Dragon Vein Transformation, and an early elder who joined when the Dragon Nest Tribe was weak, Rodney has now become one of the top figures in the Dragon Nest Tribe, commanding the orc infantry corps within the three major armies.

Back then, Rodney led remnant forces to attack the Dragon Nest Tribe, which only had seven kobolds. Ultimately, they were counterattacked by the blood-hardened kobolds and were defeated and captured, thus beginning the process of submitting under Austin's banner.

As an orc who joined relatively early, he personally experienced Austin leading the beastmen to fish by cutting through ice, encircle and slay the Blood Wolves, open up wastelands, and battle in all directions, a phase of iron-blooded rise. In these events, the Dragon Nest Tribe grew from a small gathering of a few cats in a yard to the undisputed overlord of the nearby region.

He almost watched the rise of the Dragon Nest Tribe from nothing with his own eyes.

A year ago, Rodney had led remnant forces in a desperate escape, fearing the many hidden dangers of the forest, living from hand to mouth, with no guarantee of the next day.

And now, a year later, he leads hundreds of elite beastmen, with more than ten or twenty extraordinary orc captains under his command, whose strength is enough to challenge the giant beasts roaming the forest.

All this was successfully achieved under the leadership of His Highness Austin.

In daily life, Rodney already feels an immense admiration for the great His Highness Austin, willing to devote his life to fighting for the grand cause of His Highness.

Now, Quik, the fox-faced man from the same tribe has received significant responsibilities from His Highness Austin, becoming an important figure in the Dragon Nest Tribe, while Rodney has also become the leader of one of the three major corps.

But that is not enough. With the increasing popularity of the Breathing Technique and the growing number of transformed extraordinary orcs, the pressure he faces from the many excellent subordinates grows.

Rodney set a small goal for himself, like becoming the first warrior of the Dragon Nest Tribe.

And now, the emergence of those hidden unknown enemies in the darkness is the perfect opportunity!

"Everyone, move out!"

Rows of troops set out with a roar, divided into four streams, searching in all directions.

Judging by the wounds on that orc patrol, the enemy's strength is likely formidable. The top ranks of the Dragon Nest Tribe gather, guessing that it might be retaliatory action from the headquarters of the Blood Claw Tribe.

To prevent being defeated one by one, the search parties are divided into four, heading east, south, west, and north, while maintaining considerable cavalry squads between each group for communication.

Meanwhile, during this search, they are not allowed to exceed a ten-mile radius from the Dragon Nest Tribe.

After sweeping through once, if no trace of the enemy is found, all orc armies will return and defend the tribe, waiting for His Highness Austin to awaken.

The reaction of the Dragon Nest Tribe is not excessive, considering the strength of the Blood Claw Tribe headquarters, being cautious is not unwarranted.

.....

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In a certain dense forest, massive ancient trees tower up high, an endless sea of forests undulating ceaselessly.

Not far away, a giant beast as colossal as a mountain walked through the forest, each step left an imprint on the earth as if causing earthquakes, making the ground tremble, while the surrounding giant ancient trees fell like wheat in its path, breaking and shattering.

The beast resembled an elephant, but it was ten times larger than a normal one, making the whole world tremble with each step.

Roar!!!

The giant beast raised its head and howled, its long trunk lifted high, instantly turning its roar into a visible tsunami, sweeping in all directions. The enormous sound stirred the air like rushing tides, causing the surrounding trees to bow and scrape under it.

"Every time I see such giant beast creatures, I feel an awe that comes from the heart."

In the distance, between forests, several figures stood on the branch of a giant ancient tree, looking at the mountain-like giant beast, sighing as they spoke.

"Indeed, only the vast and endless Barbaric Land like the Kawa Great Forest can harbor such massive beings. These creatures are among the largest in the world; luckily they don't exist in the human civilized world, or dealing with them would require at least several hundred elite troops or Silver and Gold level adventurers to kill them."

"This is already good. We've searched so far and found just one or two. It's said in this vast wilderness, some magic power-rich places harbor very large groups of giant beasts. In those areas, even eighth or ninth-level magic beasts tread cautiously. No wonder that Blue Young Dragon chose to nest here; the position is indeed good, even signs of giant beasts are rare."

"Let's start; the appointed time is almost here. Let's first lure this giant beast over. Hopefully, others have found similar prey. If we can draw five such giant beasts to the Dragon Nest Tribe and let them hurt each other, stepping in to clean up the aftermath, then achieving the feat of dragon slaying might not be as challenging as it seems."

The few exchanged glances, then swooped down with a whiz, disappearing into the forest.
