The orc turned around and questioned the necromancer hiding in the hooded robe: "This is not what we agreed on!"
Necromancer: "He, he is spreading lies to confuse the people!"
The orc lifted the necromancer's hood, exposing him from the neck up to the pouring rain. Even the king, who was not good at reading human expressions, could see that this man was very guilty.
Orc: "Damn it! Do you think you can fool me? Your teacher is just a skeleton, so my observation skills honed in human society are useless to him, but you are different! You are a heartless guy!"
Wang was watching from the side and thought: Wow, this won't solve the problem, right? If I had known this, why would I have planned so many things? Wouldn't it be better to just do it this way?
This is called counter-espionage!
Hey, wait a minute, can I use this experience to perform a round of charm humans?

While Wang Fan was thinking, at the White Tiger Camp on the southwest side of Minos.
The Shadow Thieves' masters have already begun to take action.
It turned out that the leader of the Shadow Thieves did not tell the truth in front of the king. They actually discovered quite a few Necromancers who were more vulnerable to sneak attacks due to their personal character problems, and they were very confident that the sneak attacks would be successful.
In fact, one-third or even more of the Necromancers can be dealt with by just the Shadow Thief's sneak attack.
But if someone attracts his attention, the Shadow Thief can kill more.
The necromancer captain of the White Tiger Camp was copying a scroll under the storm lamp in the tent. He did not notice that someone had quietly come out from behind the tapestry inside the tent.
The man came behind the wizard and first cut the bag of the wizard's spell materials with delicate techniques, then squeezed the bag in his hand.
That's right, there is a wooden sculpture in the bag, and the trigger spell should be cast on this wooden sculpture.
As long as the wood carving leaves the wizard, the trigger spell will not be activated.
The man tiptoed and placed the bag of spell materials on the necromancer's bed, then took out a dagger.
The next moment, the necromancer's mouth was gagged and a dagger was stabbed into his chest.
The spurting blood directly created a slanting scratch on the tent.
After completing the assassination, the shadow thief quietly sneaked out of the tent without anyone noticing him.
**
At the same time, the orc overlord's questioning continued in the camp.
"You actually plotted against us! Damn Necromancer!" the orc roared. Although his fangs were not long, it did not reduce the power of his roar at all.
The necromancer hastily defended himself: "I didn't! We have always been honest! It was this guy who spread rumors and misled the public! I want to confront him face to face! You will soon find that he has no way of possessing such knowledge!"
At this time, Wang was thinking about how to use the experience he had gained to charm humans. Xiaobai patted his head with his wings.
Wang: "Ah? What is that?"
The necromancer pointed at him and said, "I want to compete with you!"
Wang: "What? Casting speed? Or should we duel?"
Necromancer: "Compare knowledge!"
Wang: "Then you chose the wrong person. I'm not good at practical operations, but I've never been afraid of anyone when it comes to paper knowledge! Come on, do you want to ask each other questions?"
Necromancer: "That's right! I'll go first. The killing effect of Banshee's Wail..."
Wang: "Let's start with the closest person. Now it's my turn. What's the difference between time stopping and time blocking?"
The necromancer was stunned: "What? This?"
Wang: "You can't answer it, so let me change the question. Will the effects of the Hero's Prayer and the Savior's Feast be wasted?"
The necromancer stood there in a daze, with heavy rain pouring down. He was soaked in the rain for a long time before he managed to utter, "Isn't the Savior Banquet a Nine Rings spell? What's wrong with asking about a spell?"
"You are a necromancer. The priest of the good god will attack you when he sees you. Shouldn't you be familiar with the priest's magic?" Wang asked back.
The necromancer opened his mouth wide: "I... I don't even have enough time to learn magic! Divine magic! And don't divine magic rely on sensing the grace of God to obtain it?"
Wang: "Yes, that is how priests obtain divine magic. As mages, we can understand divine magic just as we understand arcane magic. In fact, in the mage tower where I am, the experiment of trying to reproduce divine magic with arcane techniques has never stopped. When I was a baby, many professors in the tower were busy with this, and they are still busy now."
The necromancer's mouth opened into an O shape: "You...you are much more daring than us! Didn't the gods send messengers to slaughter you?"
The king shrugged, "Because our Mage Tower is not within the authority of the gods. Do you want to continue?"
"No need." The orc overlord said this, and then chopped the necromancer's back with the giant axe in his hand.
The necromancer turned around and pointed at the orc: "You bastard!"
Orc: "We orcs are fair to those who are fair, and mean to those who are mean. Since your teacher wants to plot against us, you can't blame us."
Necromancer: "My teacher! He will be back in a few months! It's not a good idea to offend him!"
The orc grinned, revealing his fangs. "According to what you said, we are now facing a wizard who is much more powerful than your teacher. If we can survive this situation, we can survive your teacher's bone claws. Maybe we can even send your teacher away again."
With that the orc drew out his great axe, and immediately chopped it again, this time directly chopping off the necromancer's head.
Wang: "Wait a minute, although I used a counter-espionage strategy, isn't it a bit too decisive for you to kill your ally so easily?"
Orc: "I never trusted these necromancers. Ever."
As he spoke, the orc warriors behind him wiped out all the necromancers who tried to resist in the chaos.
Wang: "Well, then my goal has been achieved. Actually, we are the salvation team, did you know that?"
"I know that the leader of the Shadow Thieves was kind enough to send us a report on your mission."
Wang frowned. "The leader of the Shadow Thieves? Damn, this trick of theirs..."
Orc: "He only gave us the report on the mission of the salvation team. He didn't reveal anything about the city defense."
Wang: "Oh, I see. Then you know that our mission is very important, right? In fact, we plan to ignore Minos' siege and set off downstream, following the current clues to a state called Isonzo in the river countries.
"But I heard that the lich was going to use Orim's soul focus. I had no choice but to resort to this last resort."
The orc stared at the king suspiciously: "Really?"
King: "Really? Now that your cooperation with the necromancers has been broken, it is estimated that Orim's Soul Focus will not be able to be used. We can leave now. You continue to siege your city."
The orc stared at the king, as if trying to gauge how credible his expression was.
He said, "What prompted me to decide to kill the necromancers just now was, first, my constant vigilance against them, second, Krosh's panic when you revealed the truth, and finally, my intuition. My intuition has saved me many times.
"When I was a gladiator in Langdon City..."
"Landon City!" Wang exclaimed, "Wait a minute, there is indeed a gladiator arena in Landon City, but it's in the port area set up by the Chamber of Commerce, not in the main city. You have been a gladiator in Landon City for eighteen years?"
The orc nodded, "That's right. Then that day, a new slave appeared. He was an orc, very strong. He originally despised me like other humans, but after I defeated him in a duel, he immediately changed his mind.
"The world of orcs is very simple. Whoever can beat whoever is strong is the strong one, and the strong will be respected. So I began to yearn for the world of orcs.
"So I took this guy and ran away. My instinct told me I should run with him.
"I wasted a lot of time trying to take him with me, and the escape process didn't go smoothly. Only my new friend escaped. As a rebellious slave, I was sentenced to death by hanging."
Wang: "Wait a minute, the orc who escaped, you were hanged... Later, did this orc ride a huge orc war wolf and carry 22 knives to hijack the prison van to save you?"
The orc nodded.
Wang: "But according to the legend of Landon Territory, the rescue failed this time!"
The orc laughed. "Failed, but not defeated. At the last moment he broke the lock on the cage of the prisoner cart. Then I jumped on the wolf he brought. By then the time of the slow spell had passed, and I rode the wolf all the way.
"The wolf knew the way back to the grassland, so I came back. If I hadn't listened to my instincts and brought this helper, then maybe..."
Wang: "Maybe you just ran away."
Orc: "And you didn't know the way, and when you asked for directions you were attacked by evil humans?"
Wang: “That’s a possibility.”
Orc: "You are right. But when my intuition tells me what to do, I usually listen. Just now my intuition told me that I should kill all the necromancers. In fact, some tribes have long disliked them."
The orc paused, and said, "Now, my intuition tells me that I should not trust you. Although I can't see through your disguise..."
Of course he couldn't see through it, because there was no disguise. Wang's emotional intelligence was not high enough to allow him to disguise his thoughts.
The orc wiped the blood off his axe and continued, "I can't see through your disguise, but my instinct tells me that you are not telling the truth."
The king spread his hands and said, "How could that be? I really came here to tell you this bad news, and then I was going to leave. Look, we have a pleasant cooperation and we are friends! Sending people to join the salvation team now can greatly improve the impression of the human countries on the orcs..."
In the blink of an eye, a huge explosion occurred in the center of the parade ground, and the entire land was ejected upwards like a huge vortex of mud.
Many orcs in formation were swept up in it and thrown high into the sky.
The king was shocked, then changed his expression and said in one breath: "That's right! I am here to lure the enemy! Hahahaha, you wooden-headed orc got fooled, right?"
The orc roared, "Shaman!"
Behind him, the orc covered in a white sacrificial robe opened his hands and chanted an ancient spell.
The power from ancestors and spirits descended upon the orcs.
His body expanded greatly and was shrouded in a red bloodthirsty light.
The orc overlord who had just been recounting the past in a gentle and polite manner suddenly opened his mouth and roared.
Chapter 135 The beast’s blood boils
When the Orc Overlord roared, the dwarves underground rushed up and were a little confused after being roared at: Where was the sneak attack we agreed on? Why did the enemy roar first?
But the dwarves had one thing in mind: they could not lose no matter what, so they roared back with even more explosive roars.
Another dwarf took out an old horn from somewhere and started blowing it.
The loud horn sounded throughout the rainy night.
The dwarves rushed towards the orcs, striking their shields with their hammers as they rushed.
The orcs were very welcoming to this kind of enemy that rushed over directly! Especially now that they were put into a bloodthirsty frenzy by the shaman, the orcs' already basically non-existent rationality was directly disconnected in this state.
As for the king, looking at the orc overlord rushing towards him with his dagger and sword drawn, his decision was also simple - and in line with the original plan.
He was holding the scepter that could transform him into a dragon in his hand, and he started to transform into a dragon without saying a word!
As he grew bigger and became a dragon, the orc overlord rushed towards him with a dagger and a short sword.
As the transformation was completed, the orc arrived in front of him and stabbed the dagger directly into the dragon scales!
However, the dragon did not care about being stabbed by the toothpick-like dagger. It simply swung its tail, and the orc overlord was knocked away by its weighted and barbed tail - but he didn't fly!
