Crack!
Whoosh!
The hefty machetes cleared a passable path through the dense shrubbery.
The orc soldiers following behind glowered with blood-red eyes, vigilantly watching for any potential attacks.
Even with wolf cavalry patrolling the outskirts, they dared not let their guard down.
The adventure seekers, lusting for Gold Coins and cunningly experienced, had given these orcs their fair share of "surprises."
Traps buried in the ground.
Sudden ranged ambushes.
Both had caused considerable casualties among the orcs.
It wasn't until the orcs dispatched a considerable number of patrol teams that they stemmed the adventurers' enthusiasm for proactive assaults.
After that, the adventurers moved their "surprises" to the nighttime.
Compared to the day when they could quickly gather large numbers of orc soldiers for a pursuit, the night became the adventurers' best camouflage.
