Chapter 60: Ambush Two days after seeing the shadow, Zhao Yannian and Caroline were resting in a valley in the surface world.
"After a few days of driving, we finally got here ahead of them, this time we must catch them and ask them what they have been tossing in the past few years."
Zhao Yannian sat on a stone and said while resting.
"Don't make noise!
Let me sleep again.
Caroline was sleeping on Zhao Yannian's lap at this time, and when she heard Zhao Yannian's words, she immediately reached out and patted her master's leg, and the continuous rush in the past two days has exhausted Caroline, especially the shadow is actually squeezed into the magic speed car that can only be used for two people.
The reason why the two appeared here was because of a message that Zhao Yannian got from the shadow two days ago.
"What?
Orcs have been to the City of Eternal Night?
"Zhao Yannian originally just wanted to find out about the gossip of the Eternal Night Lady, but he didn't expect that because of the disappearance of the master, the shadow who had been paying attention to the news of the Eternal Night City and the shadow assassins under his command unexpectedly obtained the news that the Eternal Night Lady had met with the orc envoy.
"Do you know what the conversation is about?"
Zhao Yannian asked without extravagant hope.
"I don't know, but I heard the word Beastmaster from that maid."
The shadow said with some hesitation, and while answering Zhao Yannian's question, the shadow assassin secretly looked at Caroline, who was leaning on Zhao Yannian's body.
"Look no further!
I'm not being controlled!
It's just that life is sometimes so cruel, when you face the strong, you only have two ways to choose: death and obedience.
Caroline glared at the shadow fiercely, and then rubbed her body against Zhao Yannian like a cat.
"Whether you believe it or not, I don't control your master, your master and her subordinates are doing very well in my territory now, I don't think the dark elves will mind their master's race, right?"
Zhao Yannian smiled and reached out and patted Caroline's back, Zhao Yannian was very satisfied with Caroline's performance at this time, the female dark elf was using her body to signal the relationship between her and Zhao Yannian, so that the master-slave relationship could be established to ensure that the shadow would not disobey Zhao Yannian, and it could also make Zhao Yannian feel at ease with Caroline.
"It's my faux pas, please punish the two masters."
The shadow fell to one knee again.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this topic, let's talk about the orcs."
Zhao Yannian became more and more interested in the abilities of the Shadow Assassins, and these eavesdropping experts in his territory were starting to get complicated and now was exactly what he needed, albeit a little less numerous.
"The orcs came to Eternal Night City ten days ago, but the Lady of Eternal Night didn't meet them until five days ago, and the specific content is not clear, but listening to the words of the city lord's mansion maid, their beastmaster has recently changed, and the orcs seem to have come in the hope of forming an alliance with Eternal Night City."
The shadow told everything he knew.
"The Beastmaster has been replaced recently?
And an alliance with the Underworld?
It seems that these guys are really planning something.
"From colluding with the Soul Eaters a few years ago, to the later rebellion in the royal capital, to the recent goblin ruins, it seems that the orcs have been working in a certain direction, so what exactly do the orcs want to do?
After thinking about it, Zhao Yannian couldn't rely on the information he currently had to analyze anything, but one thing he was sure of was that what the orcs did was definitely not a good thing to maintain world peace, as a human with an orc feud, no matter what the orcs did, they didn't have to think about it, as long as they tried their best to stop it.
Since he can't analyze it, maybe he should ask the orcs himself.
After Zhao Yannian made a decision in his heart, he asked Caroline, "Where is the nearest exit from the Dark Elf Domain to the Brute Beast Plateau?"
” "In a ravine north of the Beast Blood Keep."
Caroline replied without even thinking about it.
"We should be able to catch up if it's so far away."
Zhao Yannian calculated the distance in his heart and said thoughtfully.
"Master, you're not going to capture the orc mission, are you?!"
Caroline also realized what Zhao Yannian wanted to do at this time.
"What's wrong?
Isn't it okay?
Zhao Yannian asked.
"Didn't you just hear the shadow say that there was a Juggernaut in that orc mission!?"
Although Caroline has seen Zhao Yannian's strength, the combat power of an orc sword master is definitely one of the strongest classes below the legend.
Even if it is a non-legendary dragon and orc sword master battle, I am afraid that there is no certainty of victory, and at this time, the strength shown by Zhao Yannian is that he is a great magician, except for the ability used in the attack on the soul eater, Caroline has no clear concept, other times, Zhao Yannian's combat power is not much higher than Caroline.

"There will always be a way, it's a big deal to run if you can't beat it when the time comes."
Zhao Yannian was very optimistic.
Then Zhao Yannian, Caroline, and the three of them drove the magic speed to the new passage above the goblin ruins as fast as possible, and then spent a day in the surface world to the valley in the north of the Beast Blood Fortress.
The river in this valley has the same source as the Marañon River that flows through Zhao Yannian's territory, but after flowing down from the snow-capped mountains in the north of the continent, it is separated by the Longji Mountain Range and diverted to flow through the Brute Plateau and then through the Northwest Plain and finally flow into the sea.
And Caroline, who had been sitting in Zhao Yannian's arms all the way, could finally rest for a while.
At this time, the river in the northwest wasteland has thawed, but the weather is still very cold, Caroline shrunk herself in a sleeping bag, used Zhao Yannian's thigh as a pillow to sleep soundly, while Zhao Yannian was holding a telescope to observe the terrain of the valley and think about how to carry out the arrest operation.
A day later, the orc mission appeared in the valley a little later than Zhao Yannian expected, at this time, Zhao Yannian and Caroline were disguised as a boulder and waited at the exit of the underground passage, under the power of the soul domain, the orcs had no idea that there were two big living people hidden in the boulder they had just passed, only a somewhat thin orc on crutches looked at the boulder, The orc swordmaster of the shadow walked naked and with only a belt on his back and a large iron sword that looked old and tattered, and walked in front of the stone without notice.
"There are thirty-two orcs in total, the strongest is the orc swordmaster, and the second strongest is the orc shaman with a cane, but if you want to ask something, I think you should catch the orc shaman."
This is the news from the shadows half an hour ago.
Most of the team of the orc mission had already passed through the boulder, and only the orc shaman remained here, looking at the boulder next to the cave with some strange eyes.
"Is there anything wrong with the shaman?"
The orc Juggernaut was very respectful to the emaciated orc.
"There seems to be a strange power on this stone."
The orc shaman said as he touched the boulder with his hand.
"Strange powers?"
The orc swordmaster was a little confused when he heard the shaman's words.
"It's a bit similar to the power of our ancestral spirit totem, but it's more refined and has a single effect."
The shaman's words not only surprised the orc sword saint, but also Zhao Yannian, who was hiding in the boulder and preparing to attack at this time.
"Then what are we going to do, this stone is so big we can't transport it back."
As soon as the orc sword saint heard that there was the power of the ancestral spirit on this stone, he immediately wanted to take it into his own possession, on the beast plateau, although the orcs believed in the beast god who created them, but the reason why the orcs were able to hold the last territory and not be taken away by humans was to rely on the power of their ancestral spirits, and the ancestors of generations injected their own and the souls of the monsters into the totem through prayers and sacrifices, and guarded their tribes forever, so the orcs became very fanatical as soon as they heard the word ancestral spirit totem.
"Forget it, don't move, he may be the power of some nearby creature, we can't take it away at will, it's strange, why didn't I feel this power when I came before."
The orc shaman hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said.
Just as the two orcs were about to leave, a mutation protruded!
A pair of big hands stretched out from the boulder and slammed towards the orc shaman, and the orc sword master only had time to send out a sword qi with his bare hands for this sudden attack, although the sword qi was extremely sharp, but the sword qi that was deviated from the direction for fear of hurting the orc shaman finally only cut off the two fingers of the stone giant hand, and the orc shaman was pulled into the boulder as if he was stuck in mud.
"Enemy attack!"
The orc Juggernaut shouted a warning.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
The orc Juggernaut was answered by a series of explosions on the rock walls on both sides of the valley.
The rubble rained down on the orc mission, and the orc, who didn't have time to dodge, let out a desperate roar with his sword, but at this time, the orc swordmaster didn't care about the other members of the mission, but pulled out the big iron sword behind him and slammed it towards the boulder where Zhao Yannian was hiding.
Cut it in two!
The sword aura of the orc sword master split the boulder from the middle like slicing tofu, and then the shell of the boulder began to appear like an eggshell, shattering one by one.
"I'll just say it's useless!"
Caroline's voice rang out from the smoke of the rubble, and then a long red knife rushed out of the smoke and stabbed at the orc Juggernaut.
"Where in the world did the perfect plan come from?"
Zhao Yannian's voice also sounded from the smoke, and then countless bullets swept towards the orc sword master like a torrential rain.
"Dark Elves!"
The orc swordmaster picked up Caroline wearing an exoskeleton with a sword, and then the orc swordmaster found that his iron sword was suddenly extremely hot, and before the orc swordmaster could react, as a human man's voice sounded, countless metal projectiles appeared in front of the orc swordmaster.
"Fighting spirit!"
The orc swordmaster slammed the reddened long sword in his hand into the beach, and then a gas with golden light erupted from the orc swordmaster's body!
"Sun Fist!"
More than a dozen flashbangs flew out of the smoke, erupting with a light that was thousands of times more dazzling than the fighting spirit of the orc Sword Master.
