Chapter 118 Tiga as a Thug

As evening approached and night was about to fall, Louis's squad arrived at their loyal post at position number 15 on the north wall of the sewers.

However, when he arrived at the entrance of position 15 tonight, he saw someone who shouldn't have been there at that time.

Every morning, a Sven officer named Kus would come to tally the battle achievements.

He was waiting there with several soldiers, seemingly waiting specifically for Louis's squad.

"Captain Louis."

Upon their arrival, Kuss stepped forward to greet them politely before stating succinctly, "Starting tonight, the task of guarding the sewers will be handled by the warriors of the Frostclaw tribe."

"There are over 10,000 orc warriors on duty in the sewers tonight, divided into teams of fifty and assigned to each sewage outlet."

"Among this army of ten thousand, there are twenty level 1 orcs leading the troops, including the young chieftain of the Frostclaw tribe, Tiga."

"From now on, you and your squad have a certain degree of control over the Frostclaw Horde army, such as drawing a small number of soldiers to assist you in eliminating powerful enemies, etc."

"If any orcs dare to offend you or fail to keep their posts properly, Captain Louis can act without prior notice, provided there is sufficient evidence."

"The legion has already spoken to the Frostclaw tribe's leadership about this, and they will obediently comply."

Upon hearing this, Louis raised an eyebrow slightly.

He knew that the Frostclaw tribe had been demoted to the sewers, but he never expected that he would be able to gain command of such a large force.

Even just being able to temporarily command dozens or hundreds of ordinary orc warriors, or a few level 1 orcs, is still a considerable amount of power.

Moreover, he held the power of life and death over them.

But on second thought, Louis realized that this made perfect sense.

After Morgon's betrayal, the Frostclaw tribe's status in Blackrock City plummeted, and they were no longer even considered third-class citizens.

If it weren't for the fear of a full-scale rebellion by the Frostclaw tribe, the orcs would probably have been captured and enslaved.

In this situation, our team of dedicated and hardworking human professionals, with impeccable credentials and a willingness to work tirelessly in the sewers, should play a supervisory role.

Of course, this power may also have a little bit to do with Ignis's instructions.

As for why the orcs in the sewers are only level 1 at most?

One reason is that the monsters attacking the sewage outlets are unlikely to be level 2 powerful monsters. Another reason might be that they are worried about the orcs causing trouble, so splitting them up makes them easier to manage.

In short, Louis was very pleased with this unexpected windfall. He nodded solemnly to Coust and accepted a seal from him for troop deployment.

"Captain Louis, the demonic tide's attacks on the underground passage are getting stronger. If we encounter an invincible and powerful demon, we must protect ourselves."

Kuss said solemnly, "As long as you can return safely, it doesn't matter if more orcs die."

In fact, the location of Kus and Louis's squad was not far from the orc squad at sewage outlet No. 15, only a few dozen meters away.

Furthermore, sound can travel extremely far in a closed sewer, so this orc squad must have heard it.

Knowing this, Kuss still spoke these words bluntly, further illustrating the Frostclaw tribe's current status.

Louis understood that this was Cousteau's good intention, and nodded with a smile, saying, "I understand."

After Kuss took his leave, Louis went to position 15 and, as expected, found an elite orc squad.

Of the fifty-person squad, nearly thirty were female orc warriors clad in animal skins, exuding wild beauty.

That is, the cat lady.

Working with a group of catgirls is undoubtedly much more pleasant than working with a group of grown men.

However, the only drawback was that the catgirls and male beastmen were looking at them with eyes filled with a mixture of wariness, humiliation, and fear.

Louis thought for a moment, then showed him the seal that Kus had just given him and said, "Does anyone know which area Tiga is on duty in? Please call her over. I have an important task here that requires her cooperation."

"If you succeed, it will be a great achievement, and I will put in a good word for you with the commander of the Black Rock Legion."

""

Upon hearing this, Nora and Dina exchanged a glance, their expressions behind their bird-beak masks turning strange.

Why does Louis's statement sound a bit off?

It makes them look like some kind of villain who's aiding and abetting evil.

This feeling was certainly not unique to Louis's teammates.

From the crowd, a female warrior with the strength of a quasi-professional, who seemed to be the captain, stood up angrily.

"You, you human, what brings Young Chief Tiga here?!"

"Let me tell you! Although our Frostclaw tribe is in a difficult situation, our girls are not someone you can bully!"

Louis: "???"

He was completely confused.

When did I say I was going to bully female orcs?

He recalled Tiga's appearance: a well-built humanoid white tiger, not at all like a catgirl.

Even if I really had ulterior motives towards the catgirl, I wouldn't choose her.

Louis couldn't help but take a look at the catgirl captain in front of him. He found that although she had a good presence, she was quite cute. She was probably only a little over 1.5 meters tall, and her pair of fluffy, pointed cat ears twitched, making him want to pet her.

Seemingly noticing Louis's "evil" gaze, the catgirl captain was startled and took a step back, instantly transforming into airplane ears and arching her back as if she were about to exhale at any moment.

"As expected! You wicked human, you were plotting against our young clan leader."

"Even the way you look at me is so wicked; you must be planning to do something to the most beautiful woman in our tribe."

Louis was stunned for a moment before realizing that the so-called first beauty was Tiga.

Well, perhaps there are differences in aesthetics between orcs and humans.

He coughed lightly and said, "You've misunderstood. I really have something important to discuss with Young Chief Tiga. Everyone in our team is of good character, so you can rest assured."

He paused, then added, "Don't forget the Frostclaw tribe's current predicament. You wouldn't want your tribe to remain in such a lowly position, would you?"

"It would be bad if word got out that we ignored the first order from our superior."

Catgirl Captain: "————"

She gave a disgraceful snort, then walked away with her tail held high.

A moment later, Captain Catgirl returned with Tiga.

Judging from the speed of travel, the area that Tiga originally guarded was not far from Sector 15.

"Young Chief Tiga, hello."

Louis took the initiative to step forward and greet him.

Upon getting closer, Louis realized that Tiga was no shorter than him.

As his strength continued to improve, his height also increased rapidly in just two or three months, and he's almost 1.8 meters tall now.

"Human, what do you want with me?"

Tija asked calmly.

She didn't recognize the four members of Louis's team; their masks were too heavily obscuring their identities.
