The sun has just broken, and the afterglow has not completely penetrated into the depths of the dense forest. The shadows and lights are intertwined, and a solemn atmosphere has filled the orc village.
The peaceful days seemed to be just a flash in the pan, and now the village was once again plunged into an atmosphere of tense preparations for war.
"Everyone, act quickly! Food reserves must be doubled!"
Elder Hark commanded those of his tribe who were designated hunters and gatherers.
These strong and agile warriors are ready to set off into the forest in search of food and water. They only have one day. This task is very arduous. If they can plunder from the road, it can also alleviate the shortage of food supplies.
But since He Wen has decided not to focus on killing and surrender, everyone should know that storing enough food before the bloody battle is an indispensable key to victory.
At the same time, the sound of metal tapping kept ringing in the mine - this was the team responsible for mining minerals.
After receiving the approval of the Lord of the Forest, the mining of minerals is no longer limited to shallow layers. Scarce minerals in deeper layers can also be mined. The person responsible for helping transport is the magic crystal wolf under the control of the Lord of the Forest.
Like sled dogs, they pulled cart after cart of minerals to the village, and in the village, He Wen also used alchemy to create a huge mineral accumulation yard.
At this time, this huge storage yard has accumulated a lot of iron ore, and those very rare minerals will be absorbed into the system space by He Wen.
And what about He Wen himself? He was not idle either. After helping the orcs in the village prepare a few large pots of soup, he asked the orcs to cook as much food as possible according to the method he taught.
Then he, several elders of the beast tribe, Harudo and Eve held a combat meeting in Elder Huck's room.
The map is spread out in front of everyone. The rustling sound was accompanied by strategic discussions. "The defense of Sankre Town is strong." An elder frowned and said, "But it is not invulnerable. It will be difficult to break through it with our current strength."
He Wen dug deeply into the memories in Eric Darren's mind, and he learned that the South County Crusaders' operation was not a full-scale troop dispatch.
In the town of Sancre, there are nearly 5,000 knights guarding this important stronghold. Coupled with the Crusaders who escaped from the forest, it is indeed not easy to fight this battle forcefully.
And now, the person commanding this army is probably Eric Darren's right-hand man and his wife, Flora Anseril.
This former elite knight of the kingdom has a huge difference in personality from her husband. She does not have the terrible desire to conquer and ambition like Eric Darren, but she is full of unparalleled loyalty to the Kingdom of Taris and her husband.
But what she cares most about is the people of Sancre Town.
It was precisely because she was guarding the town of Sancre that He Wen was so confident that he could take over the town through some means.
It has been two days since the battle, and the knight who escaped must have spread the news of her husband's death to his ears.
If a loved one is killed, even Flora is likely to fly into a rage and lead an army to take revenge.
It's not that He Wen didn't think about it, but now two days have passed, and the person responsible for monitoring the periphery of the forest has not discovered any upcoming movements of the army.
In other words, rather than seeking revenge, Flora chose to deploy her troops in Sancre Town. Her desire to protect the town and its people outweighed her desire to avenge her husband.
Of course, He Wen would not tell all of his plans to the orcs. If he told them, they would not be reassured no matter how much they believed in him. After all, what he was going to do would be very crazy.
That night, He Wen unlocked new recipes in the system and made full use of the existing redeemable ingredients. The whole village held a grand banquet that night, and every orc who ate He Wen's food got With further strengthening, their strength was completely different from two days ago.
And He Wen also used this to further strengthen the demonic power in his body.
But the stronger the power, the more painful it would be when hunger came. He had not forgotten this, so he asked the system if it could solve this problem once and for all.
But the system's answer disappointed him. This demon's innate power depletion cannot be reversed, at least He Wen cannot reverse it now.
Fortunately, the system left him a glimmer of hope.
"Don't worry, Master."
Shalia stroked He Wen's head gently.
"I will satisfy your needs. My body is different from that of ordinary demons. The filling speed of the demon spirit veins is very fast. Rather...if I don't let you absorb it, I may fall into the demon spirit veins again." Blocked state."
When she said this, Shalia blushed slightly.
"You have taught me many things, and you have also allowed me to experience feelings that I have never experienced in my life... No matter what, I will always follow you, Master."
He Wen remembered that he woke up that day and found traces of blood on the sheets, and suddenly felt extremely guilty, but now he had no other choice but to hug the little witch in front of him tightly.
I don’t know if it was because of He Wen’s behavior last night that Shalia’s power was further liberated. When checking her body, He Wen found that the demonic spirit veins in her body were much stronger than before. Recovery, but nothing more.
As she said herself, her demonic spirit veins are too huge, and her recovery speed is extremely fast, which is equivalent to more than a hundred times that of ordinary demons.
It's no wonder that she can be regarded as the most powerful existence even among the demons.
As before, He Wen opened a small stove specifically for Shirin, Eve, and Shalia, and made food based on their bodies.
Only this time, she had a slight change in Shirin's food.
Looking at the small and exquisite cake in her hand, Shirin's saliva almost flowed to the ground.
"Wait a minute, wait until I finish talking before you eat."
However, He Wen still insisted on the habit of explaining the situation clearly before allowing the patient to take medicine, so the girl had no choice but to look at the cake with tears in her eyes and listen to He Wen's explanation of this food for about half an hour.
"You have a very rare talent of concealing your breath. I have done some tests on your body. Shirin, your soul breath is very weak. This does not mean that your soul is weak. On the contrary, it is powerful enough to allow you to hide yourself. body shape..."
Omit N words.
"So, now these foods can continue to strengthen this characteristic of yours. This is called Shadow Cake, which allows the eater to activate a skill called Shadow Soul. The Shadow Soul skill contains too many, but you may only learn Shadow at the beginning. Walking, it allows you to walk in the kingdom of shadows, silently, and will never be noticed by anyone. Wait, I'm still talking, retract your tongue!"
After realizing that Shilin couldn't help but want to lick the cake, He Wen quickly became serious, and the majesty of a doctor suddenly exuded.
Next to them, Eve and Shalia had already finished eating and started licking their lips. Seeing how pitiful Shirin was, Eve couldn't help it.
"He Wen... let her eat first."
"Woo..."
Shilin raised her eyes and looked at He Wen with tearful eyes. He Wen was also in trouble.
I just talked so much, did she really understand?
So finally he waved his hand.
"Eat."
