There were many types of giants, including Sea Giants, Mountain Giants, Frost Giants, Swamp Giants, Cloud Giants, and several tens of other types. There was also a huge difference in their strength. However, even the weakest giant would be at least at the level of a Knight Commander. Most of the giants were at the level of Conferred Knights.
Compared to humans, giants had much stronger physiques. Therefore, even if they were of the same level, humans would not be a match for giants. However, under the same conditions, humans could advance much faster than giants. Their strong bodies gave them great power, but it also limited their development.
Frost Giants lived in the cold mountains in the north. It was said that there were many Frost Giant tribes in the polar glaciers. Swamp Giants lived in the swamps. Since the Endless Wasteland was said to be endless, there would naturally be swamps. It was just unknown if they were nearby.
In addition to these giant subspecies, the Ogres were also a very powerful creature. An adult Ogre was 3 meters tall and had a strong body. Its weight could reach 150 kilograms. This creature was very powerful, and its strength was not inferior to the Giants.
Ogres also lived in tribes. Ogres were also an intelligent race. Although their intelligence was very low, different Ogre tribes had their own legacies. They knew how to forge weapons, make armor, and tame wild beasts. They would also capture other intelligent creatures as slaves.
An Ogre tribe in the wilderness would usually enslave a large number of goblins, kobolds, and gnolls as slaves. They would make them mine ores, forge weapons, and so on. When there was a shortage of food, they would serve as food reserves.
Although most Ogres had low intelligence, Ogre Mages would often appear in Ogre tribes. Ogre Mages were very intelligent. They were usually the rulers of Ogre tribes. Moreover, there was a very low chance of two-headed Ogres appearing among the Ogres.
Two-headed Ogres were even more powerful. They were even born with the ability to cast spells. Every two-headed Ogre that grew up would be a powerful spellcaster.
After a detailed search of the valley, Suhlen finally found a few clear footprints near the water.
The footprints were very large, and they were left by bare feet. The shape of the feet was similar to that of a human's, perhaps two or three times larger than a human's. In his mind, he could roughly guess what had happened here.
One night, a Gnoll tribe living there was suddenly attacked by a group of powerful monsters. The Gnolls resisted, but their resistance was defeated after a long time. Facing the attack of hundreds of Gnolls, the group of attackers had almost no casualties.
After defeating these gnolls, the attackers did not leave. Instead, they held a gnoll barbecue party in the valley. They barbecued and ate all the dead and injured gnolls.
After killing the Gnolls, the attackers did not stay for long. Instead, they escorted a large number of Gnoll captives out of the valley. As for where they went, Suhlen did not know for the time being. However, such a group of powerful attackers was a great threat to Suhlen's territory.
This valley was not too far away from Suhlen's territory. The straight-line distance was at most 50 or 60 kilometers. The distance was too close.
Just like the Ice Quetzalcoatlus, their range was at most 300 kilometers. The monsters that attacked the Jackalans needed to occupy at least 50 kilometers of land to ensure an adequate supply of food. Judging from the scene, these attackers were carnivores. In other words, once they lived here, Suhlen's territory would be the biggest threat, so Suhlen had to get rid of this group of attackers.
Suhlen released all the barbarian warriors to look for clues. These barbarian warriors were very powerful. Even if they encountered the monsters that attacked the Jackalans, they would not be in danger for a while. Even if they were besieged, they would be able to hold on until Suhlen arrived.
After scattering to look for clues, Suhlen sat at the entrance of the valley and waited. Soon, about ten minutes later, a barbarian warrior found some clues.
After all, these attackers left with hundreds of Jackalan captives. With so many people, they must have left a lot of clues. When all the barbarian warriors returned, Suhlen followed them to look for clues.
The place where the clues were found was not far from the valley. It was located in the south of the valley. When the group arrived, they found many footprints here. The direction of the footprints was south. The group did not delay and followed these footprints to the south. With hundreds of people walking, a new road was created, so Suhlen and the others moved very quickly.
After walking along this road for about half an hour, Suhlen suddenly found a flag. It was made of a pair of stones, about one meter tall. There was a wooden pole in the middle with a Jackalan skeleton on it. On the pile of stones below, there were also some sharp wooden stakes that pierced the skulls of other humanoid creatures.
Seeing this symbol, Suhlen understood that it was a group of ogres who attacked the group of Jackalans. The pile of stones in front of him was a symbol of the barbarians.
This meant that this was the territory of the ogres. They were the masters of this territory. If other races entered here, it would be trespassing on their territory. Just like how Suhlen would build beacon towers and stone signs at the border of his territory, the barbarians would also leave these in their territory.
"An ogre tribe!" Suhlen rubbed his chin. It seemed that he could move his body again.
Ogres were not friendly to most races. After all, they liked to eat all kinds of intelligent creatures. In their knowledge, there was no trade at all. If they needed something, they would just take it. In their knowledge, humans who entered their territory were food.
Suhlen looked at the symbol. The soil was still very new, so it should have been built a long time ago. This ogre tribe should have moved here recently. Perhaps this ogre tribe was defeated by other tribes, or perhaps their original territory could no longer support them. In any case, they were now near Suhlen's territory.
If one wanted to occupy a piece of land in the wilderness, one could not just leave a mark here. One had to defeat all the surrounding tribes and force them to acknowledge one's existence. If this ogre tribe had come earlier, it was very likely that they would have been part of the allied army last time.
The surrounding tribes had been mostly wiped out by Suhlen. Other than Suhlen, no other tribe was a match for these ogres.
