The first year of the winter calendar.

On a late autumn evening.

A group of majestic strong men walked out of the Death Desert. They had ferocious faces, wore simple leather armor, and held axes, maces and other weapons in their hands.

That fierce look on his face showed that he was not a good person at first glance.

"Lord Pate, can we really enter a human city with our appearance?"

Samuro's tone was full of expectation, but he was also a little uneasy about his current image.

"Do not worry!"

The strong man at the front of the team turned back and smiled ferociously.

"Our image is very consistent with the appearance of powerful warriors on the human side. According to historical records, the former Human Emperor also looked like this, so everyone can rest assured that we will definitely receive a warm welcome when we enter the human city!"

All in all, Pate was very satisfied with his presentation.

His chest was covered with jet-black chest hair, reaching down to his crotch. The bulging muscles held up his shirt, and his thick beard looked difficult to shave clean.

The key is that he still has a shiny bald head.

A centipede-like scar stretches from the center of his eyebrow to the corner of his right eye.

In order to better integrate into human society.

They formed a mercenary group together, everyone had the same caliber, called the Wild Beast Mercenary Group, and Pate and Bart served as the chief and deputy commanders of the Wild Beast Mercenary Group respectively.

Layton did not follow these orcs.

He said he would act alone to collect intelligence.

However, he left a sound transmission stone for the orcs. If they find any special situation, they can use the sound transmission stone to communicate.

"Heihe City is ahead!"

Pate withdrew his current from the city, turned around and said to the orcs under his command with a serious face:

"Everyone, please cheer up. You must register your identity when entering or leaving a human city. Don't let anything slip when you are questioned later!"

"Commander, isn't this a bit troublesome?" Altai raised his hand.

"Human beings are definitely no match for us. Can't we just go in directly?"

"Stupid!" Pate retorted: "Where are we going to find the Tears of Poseidon after the humans have been killed? Do you know how to get to the human capital? Then we will alert the snake, and what will happen if the human king escapes!?"

He put his hands behind his back, sighed, and walked back and forth in front of the orcs.

He said with hatred of iron and steel:

"I have always emphasized that we must learn to use our brains, and don't always think about killing and killing. Sometimes the difficulties we face can be more easily solved with wisdom!"

After saying this, he turned solemn again and shouted:

"Now everyone tell me, what are we!?"

"We are orcs!!"

All the orcs shouted in unison, raising their arms and shouting.

However, it almost made Pate angry to death.

It’s as if what I explained before is not said at all.

"Damn it, I'll give you another chance! If anyone is wrong, go back and be deprived of the qualifications for this mission!"

He glared fiercely at the orcs under his command and asked again: "What are we?"

The orcs looked at each other, and then said uncertainly:

"Are we mercenaries?"

"He is a member of the Wild Beast Mercenary Group!"

"We are friendly humans!"

"Yes, we are a member of the Wild Beast Mercenary Group. We are helpful, friendly and peaceful, and are willing to be friends with everyone else!" Pate emphasized again, "Have you all remembered?"

All the orcs: "Remember!"

"Very good, follow me into the city!"

Followed by the two orc commanders Bart and Pate.

They arrived in front of Heihe City in great force.

Just after he had a clear view of the city gate, Bart discovered that the soldiers on the city wall were aiming their cannons at the city, and a faint murderous intent enveloped them.

The orcs: "..."

The commander just seemed to have said that it would be very easy for them to enter human cities...

Did you promise to be very friendly to them?

"Ahem, this is an accident. Maybe it's because we come from the direction of the Desert of Death and don't look like the thin-skinned and tender-fleshed southerners from the Winter Empire."

Pate and Bart looked at each other awkwardly.

"Stop! Who are you!"

An angry shout came from the city wall.

Upon hearing this, Pate quickly took out a crumpled parchment from his clothes, which contained some tips left by Master Leighton for them.

[If you encounter obstruction and obvious hostility from the defenders when entering the city, please raise your hands, put down your weapons, and show the other party that you are not hostile. After the atmosphere calms down, just explain your identity to the other party]

This seems to be the case now.

So Pate turned around and ordered: "Everyone raise their hands high, put down their weapons, kneel down and surrender!"

So, in the astonished eyes of the defenders of Heihe City.

The group of burly men whom they regarded as bandits actually knelt on the ground and made a gesture of surrender. A man at the end of the team even took out a white flag and waved it left and right.

Then I heard the strong man in front who looked like the leader say angrily:

"Sir Knight, we are a mercenary group traveling in the desert of death. We are called the Wild Beast Mercenary Group!"

Wild beast mercenary group?

The knight on the city wall frowned.

Never heard of it at all.

He ordered the soldiers to bring a roster.

After some comparison.

I found out that it was indeed not a registered mercenary group.

In other words, this wild beast mercenary group is from outside, and it looks suspicious.

After all, these people look ferocious and terrifying, like evil spirits who choose people to eat. They give people the impression that they are desperadoes with at least a dozen murder cases on their bodies.

Although it is wrong to judge people by their appearance.

But this is too outrageous.

One or two is survivorship bias.

All the members looked like bullies. It can only be said that birds of a feather flock together!

Therefore, the knight did not relax his vigilance. Instead, his eyes signaled the soldiers on other city walls to come here for support.

"Where are you from?"

Pat and Bart looked at the city wall.

I found that there were more and more soldiers, as if they were going to attack the city, but they just wanted to get in. Is it necessary to make such a big show?

He glanced at the parchment again.

There happened to be a similar tip.

[If the city guards ask you about your origins, never say that you are from a city in the Winter Empire, just say that you are from the Andorra Empire]

"We are from the Andorra Empire! We are really just ordinary mercenaries. Although we are ugly, we are very kind!"

Pate waved the mercenary group badge that Layton had prepared for them in advance towards the city wall.

This is modeled after the emblem of the Andorra Empire Adventurers Guild.

It is impossible to check the authenticity in a short time.

Moreover, it is impossible for the defenders of Black River City to go all the way to Andorra to check.

The knight on the wall of Heihe City noticed the badge in the strong man's hand. He took a closer look and saw that the badge was regular in shape and did not look like an imitation. Soon other strong men also took out their badges and waved them.

"Are these people really a mercenary group from the Andorra Empire?"
