Chapter 73: Ogre (4)

Su Lun circled around the camp at the foot of the hill. After he figured out the general situation of these Ogres, Su Lun quietly left.

He returned to the previous mound, and the Barbarian Warriors all came up to meet him.

“Boss, are we getting ready to fight?” The Barbarians around him stroked their axe blades, eager to give it a try.

“Thump!” Su Lun tapped his head irritably. “Fight what? Go get ourselves killed? Let’s go back first.”

He glanced back at the Ogre camp under construction, then Su Lun led the Barbarian Warriors away from there. It was already evening when they returned to the Mine. Su Lun and the others didn’t rest and hurried back to the town overnight.

“Master, what happened?” Chris was wearing a black and white maid dress, which set off her tall figure, giving her a unique charm.

As Su Lun’s head maid, the Succubus Chris was very energetic. Now she managed all the affairs of the entire Territory for Su Lun. Whether it was the Barbarians or other humans, everyone held her in awe.

“An Ogre Tribe has come near our Territory. This is a huge hidden danger to the safety of the Territory.” Chris came to Su Lun’s side and helped him take off his coat.

“An Ogre Tribe? Master, are you planning to drive them away this time? Can I go help?” Chris hung Su Lun’s coat on the coat rack and asked.

“Yes, they are already building a camp. We need to deal with it as soon as possible. If we wait a few more days and those Ogres really finish building their fortress, the losses from attacking then would be much greater.” Su Lun reached out and ruffled Chris’s head.

“Arrange things tomorrow, and I’ll take you with me.” Su Lun had high hopes for Chris. After all, after being strengthened by the Self-Created Hero Template, her strength was second only to Su Lun in the Territory. Mainly, her high-level charm talent was too powerful; even Johnson might not be able to resist it. Plus, with her Demons summoning skill, she feared neither single combat nor group fights.

When Su Lun first handed matters over to Chris, the members of the Barbarian Guard had complaints. So Su Lun had Chris fight them.

In one-on-one fights, Chris would summon one to five Demons, then hide behind the thick-skinned Demons and whip with her little leather whip, occasionally throwing a few spells to harass. Even Johnson couldn’t withstand it. If the Barbarian Warriors ganged up on her, it was even easier. Chris could use a high-level charm to make a large half of the Barbarian Warriors directly switch sides, then they would get beaten up by their own people.

After this fight, no one in the Territory objected anymore. Besides her considerable strength, Chris also managed the Territory in an orderly way. Before, Goblin, Kobold, and Gnoll slaves could slack off when the managers were careless, but now she had trained them to be obedient.

She could work during the day and warm the bed at night. Such a capable and durable maid was exactly what Su Lun needed.

As a Succubus, Chris knew too many techniques. Su Lun, an experienced man in his previous life, was also amazed. And in this world with supernatural powers, techniques that were impossible in the previous life could be realized. Chris had Spell-like Abilities and mastered some minor evocation spells to increase fun. Su Lun also learned many methods of power control from this.

For example, his Thunder Lightning Spear. Now he could control the lightning power to move freely anywhere in his body. With the lightning power boost, the Thunder Lightning Spear upgraded into a Plasma Cannon. Even a Succubus with demon resistance couldn’t withstand it.

The night was sleepless.

The next day, Su Lun got up full of energy, spread his arms, and let Chris help him get dressed. Then he had a simple breakfast.

Around 8:30 in the morning, Su Lun brought Chris to the Military Camp in the town. By then, all the Barbarian Warriors in the town had gathered on the Training Ground.

Su Lun’s Barbarian Guard had seventy-one Barbarian Warriors. Besides the ten Barbarian Warriors stationed at the Mine, another ten were escorting Ji En’s Caravan. Now there were only fifty Barbarian Warriors in the Territory. Su Lun planned to leave only ten Barbarian Warriors to guard the town, then he and Chris would lead the remaining Barbarian Warriors to clear out the Ogres.

Besides the Serfs, there were over three hundred Barbarian women and children in the town. These people had also received simple training. After the Military Camp was built, Su Lun arranged for all the people in the Territory to undergo Militia training. So just by sounding the alarm, a Militia force could be assembled immediately.

Moreover, the Barbarian Militia was much stronger than the Florentia Militia. Although female Barbarians were not as strong as males, being able to survive in the harsh and dangerous Wilderness showed how powerful these female Barbarians were.

The Territory’s Blacksmith Shop had been making equipment all along. Equipping a force of about a hundred Soldiers was no problem at all. Su Lun left Jushi in the camp to command. Jushi had been escorting Caravans and clearing out monsters around the Territory, and during this time he had leveled up to a Barbarian Greataxe Warrior.

After entrusting the safety of the Territory to Jushi, Su Lon went to the tower in the Territory and took down the eight Ballistas on it. He planned to take the Ballistas for this attack. The Ballistas were quite heavy, but luckily these Barbarian Warriors were all very strong; each could carry a share. If it were humans transporting them, they would need several carts to move them.

After preparing, Su Lun led the team to take a boat from Whitewater Port down the river to the Mine dock. After yesterday’s reconnaissance, the location of the Ogre camp was clearly marked on the Strategic Map.

Su Lun led the army ashore, then marched directly through the Wilderness. After several clear-outs by Su Lun and the Ogres, the number of Goblins and Gnolls in this Wilderness had decreased a lot. Along the way, those Gnolls and Goblins turned and ran away as soon as they saw Su Lun’s team from a distance.

After traveling some distance through the Wilderness, Su Lun saw the Ogre marker flag that claimed the Territory again.

“Destroy it!”

Su Lun directly ordered the Barbarian Warriors to destroy the flag and the stone altar beneath it completely.

“Crash!”

The stone pile was pushed over, and the flagpole was chopped down. Su Lun led the army forward. Trying a night attack against Ogres had a low chance of success. This race had natural night vision. Fighting in the dark did not give the Barbarians an advantage, so Su Lun planned to attack openly.

With him and Chris, even though they were far outnumbered by the Ogres, he was confident of victory. Although the load was heavy, the Barbarian Warriors’ marching speed was not slow. Around noon, Su Lun could already see the hill with the Ogre camp from a distance.

Su Lun did not continue to get closer. Getting closer easily alerted the Ogres. Long-distance marching with a heavy load would tire even Barbarians, so they needed to rest now, and have something to eat while they were at it.
