Chapter 2140 Orc Curse Chapter 02
"It's good, it's good..."

With his arms crossed, Dali Feizhuan repeated his words twice, the difference in tone revealing his hesitation about Kate Cat's decision.

"What's wrong? You can tell me what's on your mind."

Kate leaned towards the powerful brick, and the two, who were already sitting close together due to the increasing number of club members, were now practically pressed against each other.

However, Dali Fei Brick didn't feel anything strange about it. After hesitating for a moment, he expressed his thoughts.

"Orcs are pretty tough, aren't they? Although their average level isn't high, they're numerous and extremely aggressive. If you build a stronghold there, you'll be attacked endlessly."

"What this young man said is right. Building a stronghold in the orc region is indeed a very dangerous thing, a hundred times more dangerous than you can imagine."

A broad-shouldered, thick-waisted pirate with a neatly tied beard walked over, waving a bottle of liquor. Amidst the exclamations of the surrounding pirates, "No wonder he's Captain Barbossa, daring to talk to a stranger," he made his way over.

The players sitting around the table all looked at the pirate, their eyes scrutinizing him.

An ordinary person, stared at by a dozen strangers, would probably start thinking about what their last words would be. But Captain Barbossa was no ordinary man. Unlike the fake pirates who boasted about all the dangers they had ever faced but had never actually left Crete, he was a man who had been adrift at sea since his youth. He possessed the courage to face whirlpools headlong into the center and had exceptional insight.

He could sense that these powerful individuals, with their clear eyes revealing a hint of foolishness, were actually doing something quite presumptuous by staring at him so intently.

【Identification】

Those who receive the blessing possess a special ability to uncover information about the object of their appraisal; the stronger the appraisal ability, the more information they can uncover.

This behavior is undoubtedly an aggressive provocation, but to a stranger, it seems to be just a habit.

Fortunately, he was not a blessed person; his ordinariness as an ordinary human being actually protected his personal information at this moment.

But it must be said that, as outsiders who participated in the fight against the Titans, even though the tigers seemed dull and silly, the difference in their species level made their every move incredibly intimidating.

"Friends, stop trying to identify me. I'm just an ordinary human being." Captain Barbos shook the bottle in his hand and deliberately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender to show that he was no threat.

"I just heard you talking about something interesting, so I couldn't help but want to show off my knowledge and strike up a conversation with you."

After sizing up Captain Barbo, Kate the Cat turned and flicked a gold coin toward the tavern counter. The emblem of Hermes's Hat engraved on the coin attracted the attention of all the pirates.

Ding--

The most valuable gold coin fell right into the wine glass.

"Please drink."

"That's generous, but if possible, I really hope you can just give it to me directly." Captain Barbo's eye twitched. Between rum and gold coins, he would definitely choose rum.

But that's on the premise that this choice is just a choice. If he were actually presented with the choice between having endless but useless gold coins and only one bottle of rum, he would definitely choose the gold coins that could buy countless bottles of rum.

The value of that single Hermes's Hat coin could buy enough rum to drink him to death.

Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding pirates, the bartender pirate behind the counter put away the gold coin. Noticing the pained look in Captain Barbos's eyes, the bartender pirate revealed a bright smile.

The gold coins were out of the question, but there would definitely be plenty of rum. "So why is the Orcish territory much more dangerous than we thought?" Kate Cat tapped the table with her finger.

Captain Barbos reluctantly turned his gaze away and sat down on a dilapidated chair nearby, swirling the bottle of liquor in his hand.

"You outsiders have only been here for a year, so naturally you don't understand the reasons. Don't be fooled by the fact that orcs are also a kind of primitive and savage monster. In fact, they are a kind of monster that values ​​their territory very much and has a primitive but extremely efficient and rigorous method of territorial division."

"Methods of territorial delimitation?"

"In other words, each takes what they need. The territories of herbivorous beastmen and carnivorous beastmen will overlap, achieving a tacit cooperation that requires no words, no records, and is almost like a survival instinct."

"Herbivorous orcs tend to the fertile land, which in turn makes the herbivores fatter, while carnivorous orcs hunt herbivores and drive away other dangers, such as monsters that threaten the land."

"What does this have to do with us building a base?"

While Dali Feizhuan looked completely bewildered, Kate the cat already understood.

"In other words, it seems that we have only provoked one type of orc, but in fact, due to the overlap of our territories, we have provoked multiple types of orcs at the same time. These orcs will unite and continuously attack and drive us away."

"That's right. As for why they were expelled, I don't need to explain, do I?"

"Although orcs are hostile monsters, they are not entirely beasts. They can understand some human behaviors, such as building houses to occupy land."

"Occupying land is a very bad thing. It seems that building a stronghold in the orcish territory really needs to be carefully considered..."

Kate the cat crossed her arms and rested her chin on them.

"Orcs don't drop any useful materials, and they don't give much experience either."

The other players nodded in agreement. Apart from the special individual orcs, the orcs were just a high-end version of goblins, considered low-level monsters.

Even if they wanted to experience the thrill of slicing through vegetables, they wouldn't seek out orcs.

The orc region is so mysterious; there must be other terrifying monsters there.

Captain Barbossa's expression remained unchanged, still smiling, but cold sweat had already soaked his back.

Even the Crusades, known as heretics and slayers, could not utter such terrifying words with such calm expressions, as if the orcs were not living beings, but crops waiting to be harvested.

They now feel that the orcs' crop yield is poor.

Captain Barbossa, who considered himself a villain, also respected life and felt a chill run down his spine when faced with such a large group of people.

"Ahem, that's all I know. The orc region is quite mysterious. Legend has it that a deity called the Great Beast God exists there, and even the Crusade would not enter there unless necessary."

"Oh, I see. That's interesting."

With a powerful leap, he blocked Captain Brabeau's path as he tried to slip away.
