Players’ NPC daddy

Chapter 2201 Orc Curse Chapter 63
With a clear goal and a clear understanding of all their enemies and the destination of the final battle, the players of the [Fairy Kingdom] Fan Club sprang into action at an extremely high speed.

The grafting of crops by the Giant Hoof Tribe was handed over to the players, who had been reviewed by Hermes's Traveling Hat and the Giant Royal Family, as well as the herbivorous beastmen. They no longer had any worries and could move around freely.

They split into two teams, one led by the little angels, to search for Azazel's whereabouts and thwart his plot.

If Azazel is to use the blood of the evil god to feed the ghouls, then he must need a place where he can safely and reliably obtain the blood of the evil god.

Going directly into the Blood River is too dangerous; you'll be swallowed up by its surging flow. Taking a container and plunging into the Blood River is tantamount to suicide.

The place where Azazel obtained the blood of the evil god must be the area around the Blood River, a region dominated by rocky mineral veins. Only inorganic matter that cannot be corroded by the blood of the evil god can achieve diversion and isolation.

Combined with the activity tracks of players in Azazel provided by [Hermes' Traveling Hat], the search area has been narrowed down considerably, focusing on a few terrain features. All that remains is to check them one by one.

The little angel was the only fighting force in that group; the others were all specialized scouts. The little angel's sole fighting force was enough to overwhelm Azazel.

The other group continued with their original plan.

Now, the Gianthoof tribe, which leads almost all herbivorous orcs, has made its own choice. In terms of the overall number of orcs, most of them have chosen to stand on the side of hoping to communicate with humans; only the Beast King is missing.

However, Dali Flying Bricks made some improvements in its implementation.

He wanted to leave defeating the Beast King by force as the last resort, a choice he had to make only when there was absolutely no other option.

This is not just about having a compassionate heart and wanting to minimize avoidable killing, but also about gaining a deeper understanding of orc culture in these short two days.

When the herbivorous beastmen spontaneously helped them with the arduous task of grafting plants, he realized that the vast majority of ordinary beastmen trusted the Beast King.

This is by no means blind following, but rather a belief that the choices made by the Beast Kings are to protect them and to make their lives better. This trust even surpasses that of the Great Beast God.

Those herbivorous beastmen were not the Great Beast God priests who were blinded by the Great Beast God's blessing. They could clearly see that those wearing beast-head hoods were humans, and they knew that this was actually a rebellious act that violated the Great Beast God's decree.

The Beastmasters placed them outside a safe zone where they wouldn't be affected, but they chose to step out and stand with the Beastmasters.

It makes sense when you think about it. Ordinary orcs don't live very long, much shorter than humans, only about fifty years. Their fathers and even their ancestors lived under the protection of the Beast Kings. The Great Beast God is more like a story.

Defeating the Beast King by force is indeed the fastest way, but the fastest often means hidden dangers. They worry that directly assassinating the Great Beast God will lead to a revenge attack by the orcs against humans. However, killing the Beast King will also bring about the same result, only on a different scale.

Ordinary orcs could see what the beast-headed hoods concealed, but the hoods could only deceive the special priests of the Great Beast God, who possessed the blessing of the Great Beast God.

When a beast king is defeated, it means that the orcs who followed that beast king become enemies. Perhaps those orcs were only a small part of the vast orc group in their plans, but this small part will be like a crack, gradually accumulating in their neglect, eventually causing the entire structure to collapse.

Lottie Sandrak, the Beastmaster, was somewhat moved by the decision to use the brick-throwing technique. In fact, she didn't want to defeat the Beastmasters. The Beastmasters hadn't done anything wrong; they just had their own stance.

It's undeniably tragic that people with the same goals and beliefs would clash, even to the point of life and death, simply because of differing stances. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Beast King Lottie Sandrak asked again, looking at the group preparing to depart.

"Since we've decided to do it, we should do it to the best of our ability," Dali Feizhuan replied.

"Among our opponents is a man named Muta who is quite adept at inciting evil in people's hearts. If we are not careful and reveal even the slightest flaw, he will seize the opportunity to exploit it."

"Besides, we are here to help build a peaceful bridge of communication between orcs and humans, to make your lives better, not to bring you chaos."

“This will be much more difficult than you imagine,” said Lottie Sandrak, the Beast King, solemnly.

"You are facing orcs who trust the Great Beast God. Trying to change their minds is tantamount to causing those orcs who trust us to betray us."

"Is that so? Then why do you want to rebel against the Great Beast God?"

Lottie Sandrak, the Beast King, remained silent, for the Beastmen who trusted them were living in hardship because of the Great Beast God's oracle; they had never wanted to challenge the Great Beast God in order to become the Great Beast God themselves.

However, if the Beast King shares the same stance and beliefs as them, he would not directly reject a proposal to improve the lives of the Beastmen.

Things become simple because of this idea.

If those beast kings don't muster the courage to challenge the Great Beast God for the sake of the beastmen who trust them, but instead simply enjoy their authority and status, turning a blind eye to the increasingly difficult lives of ordinary beastmen, or even taking pleasure in it, then they are no longer just like-minded people with different stances, but enemies.

If it's an enemy, then all you need to do is defeat them.

"Trust is mutual. If you are beast kings, then the beastmen are willing to defy the Great Beast God's decree for your sake; otherwise..."

“No orc will genuinely follow them; they will only succumb to violence.”

"...Thank you for the compliment, but you guys are being a bit too ostentatious." Beast King Lottie Sandrak pointed to the equipment on Mighty Brick and the others.

Apart from the beast-head headgear, everything else was human equipment, making no attempt to conceal their identity. They could only fool the high priest of the beast god.

The abruptly worn beast-head hood did nothing to conceal his identity; on the contrary, it seemed like a deliberate provocation.

Dali Feizhuan scratched his cheek and said helplessly.

"They are Beastmasters with an average level of over 200, and there are also a surprising number of Orc warriors of considerable level. Shouldn't we wear the best equipment? With this armor on, I can stand still and let them beat me up."

"Well then, good luck to you, heroes of humanity."
