Elf Lord, intelligence updated daily.

Chapter 94 Crush
The enemy is not strong, but we still need to make sufficient preparations before taking action.

Loren learned about the general situation of the orc tribe from Mali.

The Orcish Horde is composed of various races, including Orcs, Trolls, Undead, and Blood Elves, with Orcs being the majority.

King El is a brown orc who rules over many cities and villages in the El region.

There are many orc races in the Eldar region.

Besides the centaur village, there are also hog-man territory, kobold territory, and so on.

Most orcs are inherently brutal, eating raw meat and drinking blood, and are savage and crude.

This is quite different from the more docile races like the centaurs.

Loren was deeply impressed by the kobold territory.

He remembered that the annual intelligence report mentioned an ancient ruin in the kobold territory that contained a secret method for summoning demons.

The fact that this secret technique was recorded in the annual intelligence report indicates that it is of great value.

If given the chance, Loren would definitely go to the kobold territory to investigate.

Before that, he needs to lead his knightly army to conquer the centaur village.

Starting from the due south of the east coast, Loren kept a close eye on the air.

The intelligence report did not mention any information about the scouts.

Loren also did not see any trace of the birdman.

The east coast is a relatively remote area within the Silvermoon Earl's territory.

Centaur Village does not hold a high position in the El territory.

Only a small army of boarmen remained to defend the area.

The Silvermoon Earldom and the Starshine Duchy launched a full-scale attack on the territory of El, which seemed to have caught King El completely off guard.

More likely, he simply didn't have time to take precautions.

Last month, the Aiur Territory was affected by a storm vortex, resulting in some casualties.

Adding to the internal strife within the orc tribe, El was seriously injured.

Now, facing the Elf Queen's attack, he had absolutely no chance to resist.

[September Intelligence Update]

Faced with the Elf Queen's all-out attack, the Orc King El decided to gather the core forces of his territory and fight to the death against the Elf Queen's army!

He took away three commanders and twelve generals from the territory.

Bringing these combat troops meant that El had completely abandoned the defense of his territory.

Even if it means losing all his territory, he will make the Elf Queen pay the price.

Upon receiving the information, Loren immediately used his elven insect form to relay the message.

"Your Majesty, I have learned from the orc tribes that King El of the orcs intends to bring the entire fighting force of his territory to fight you to the death."

After listening, Celucia's expression turned serious. "Where did you get this information from?"

"That's not the point. The point is that you need to be wary of his desperate counterattack."

The information provided by Loren was too absurd for Celasia to easily believe.

The best course of action for King El now is to concentrate his forces and defend his last remaining territory.

To minimize casualties, Celucia may not continue her attack.

In this way, he can at least preserve some of his strength.

But if one chooses to fight back desperately, it is tantamount to leading one's territory to destruction.

Is it necessary for King El to bury the future of his entire territory just to vent his anger?

Serusia dared not gamble.

Loren's reminder alerted her.

If the Orc King truly abandons all his territories and uses all his power to fight against her.

She herself will not be in any trouble.

However, the dragon spirits and sky knights under his command might not be so.

The loss of a dragon spirit in the last battle was already a great loss to the Elf Kingdom.

If similar casualties occur again this time, it would be a case of more harm than good.

The entire kingdom only has a few dragon spirits; how can it withstand such a drain?
One orc king, three commanders, twelve generals...

To deal with such a powerful force and ensure that the dragon spirit does not die.

We can only adopt a defensive stance.

Considering the possibility of a desperate counterattack by El, Celasia revised her battle plan.

Instead of launching a hasty attack, she further strengthened her defense.

A conservative combat strategy will at most allow her to occupy fewer territories.

But if Loren's intelligence is accurate, it could reduce many casualties.

While Celucia changed her plans, Loren's knightly party had already crossed the centaur forest and arrived at the centaur village.

The architecture of the centaur village is very primitive.

Most of the buildings were supported by massive wooden or stone pillars, and the roofs were covered with animal hides or thatched roofs.

It has a natural and wild beauty.

There are many centaur children in the village, who are being forced to do hard labor under the oppression of the boar people.

Many dried centaur carcasses hang at the entrance of the village.

This is spare food prepared by the boar-men after they kill the centaurs.

Food is scarce in orc tribes, and in addition to various wild beasts, relatively weaker races also become food.

Seeing the village in such a terrible state, all the centaurs were filled with rage and despair.

Loren immediately gave the order, "Kill these wild boars and take back the village!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

The moment the knights arrived, the boar-man troops stationed in the centaur village went on full alert.

The centurion, who was leading the boar-men, was furious when he saw who it was.

"Those damned centaurs! They've betrayed King El! Kill them!"

Seeing that there were only about twenty people coming, the boar-man centurion was not afraid at all.

Do you think this small force can handle his wild boar army?

Idiot's dream!

The two sides clashed, and the centaur riders displayed astonishing strength.

After training, the knights and centaurs have developed a very good working relationship.

A novice knight, in conjunction with a centaur, can easily kill several boar-man brutes.

To reduce knight casualties, Loren joined the battle.

He was preserving his strength to deal with unforeseen circumstances. But he already knew that these boar-men had no backup plan.

In this situation, focusing all your efforts on eliminating the opponent is the right choice.

The two sides are not on the same level in terms of combat strength.

Before the boar-man centurion could give the order to retreat, Loren had already beheaded him.

The remaining boar-men scattered and fled.

However, the centaur rider's greatest strength was his speed.

Furthermore, there are centaur archers among them who can shoot from a distance.

After a fierce battle, all the boarmen were killed.

The village foals were somewhat bewildered by this situation.

They hid inside the house, too afraid to come out.

A centaur woman stepped forward, "Mali... what are you doing here...?"

Ma Li said softly, "Call out all the centaurs in the village, and you won't have to suffer anymore."

Having lived in Shashi Town for so long, Ma Li is glad that he made the right choice back then.

What's the point of continuing to pledge allegiance to King El?

They will still be oppressed by other races.

But by joining Sandstone Town and the Elf Kingdom, they could also live a better life.

The centaurs gathered in the village.

Almost all of them were female centaurs and children.

At Loren's prompting, Mali declared, "From today onward, the Centaur Village will officially join the Elf Kingdom, and you will no longer be bullied."

The centaur tribe was abuzz with discussion.

They seem to find it hard to accept this fact.

Loren left the centaur riders in the village.

Next, he will travel to other territories in the El region to behead more centurions or commanders and gain merit in battle.

There are also ancient ruins in the kobold territory.

That's the key point!

King El has taken away the powerful forces from each territory, making Loren's exploration much easier.

The kobold territory is located southwest of the centaur village, and requires passing through two other villages.

Loren, Loris, and Hela, a total of three people.

Even with Lilia included, there are only four people.

No one would consider them enemies of the Elf Kingdom.

Furthermore, the orc tribe's defenses were insufficient, allowing Loren and his men to easily conquer the territory.

The orc tribe has many fertile lands.

If you bestow a blessing upon the spirits, many spirit insects will surely be born.

Furthermore, Loren discovered that there were many animal-eared girls here.

For example, a gentle catgirl or a seductive snake woman.

The Elf Queen should have led her troops to attack the Orc tribe long ago!
When passing through villages, Loren only killed orc chieftains or orc centurions.

As for the ordinary residents or orc soldiers in the village.

As long as they do not resist, Loren will not exterminate them.

These people have no way to earn war merits.

Moreover, after occupying the territory, the local residents became the labor force.

Orc slaves were even more valuable than serfs.

If a slave encounters a lord with a good personality, their life can be quite comfortable.

For example, Shashi Town today.

The serfs in the town were hardly oppressed.

Loren, along with Loris and Hela, charged forward, dismantling the defenses of many territories.

Loris even started to feel bored.

"What's wrong with these orcs? How come they're so easily defeated?"

So far, the strongest enemy they have encountered is a boar-man leader.

The orc leader was far weaker than the Earth Knight.

Furthermore, Loren deliberately avoided more dangerous areas.

He lets others do the hard work, and he just needs to pick up the bargains.

After several days of travel, Loren finally arrived in the kobold territory.

A powerful kobold general from the territory is fighting alongside King El.

The remaining defensive force consisted of only three kobold commanders and their kobold barbarians.

"Stop! Who are you?"

The guards at the entrance to the territory shouted loudly when they saw Loren and his group arrive.

Loren coldly replied, "We come from a distant human continent. Where is your lord? Summon him!"

The kobold frowned and returned to his territory to deliver the message.

When a kobold leader arrived, Loris acted decisively, killing him with a single sword strike.

Her fiery fighting spirit became increasingly refined, and her swordsmanship improved further.

It seems that I will be able to advance to the intermediate Earth Knight soon.

Upon seeing their commander beheaded, the kobold guardian's expression changed, and he shouted, "Enemy attack!"

Like other territories, the kobold territory has not built any defensive structures.

When faced with an enemy attack, they could only rely on the barbarian soldiers in the village to defend themselves.

Ultimately, the remaining two kobold leaders, having misjudged the strength of Loren and his companions, did not choose to flee and were predictably killed.

"Surrender or die!"

The dog-headed warrior did not immediately surrender.

They wanted to use their numerical advantage to fight Loren and his men.

After a fierce battle, the kobolds suffered countless casualties, but Loren and his two companions were unharmed.

Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, the numerous kobolds had no choice but to submit.

Looking at the corpses strewn all over the ground, Loren couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

If the opponent were stronger, he would be the one to die here.

On the battlefield, it's a matter of life and death; you absolutely cannot be soft-hearted.

In particular, these entities that pose a threat to the Elf Kingdom must be eliminated.
