There was nothing Gunador could do because he didn't know the truth of the matter, so he could only take things one step at a time. Originally, having 10 or so Orcs fall sick wasn't a big deal to the Orc City – it was mainly because they were being nurtured.
However, a few hours later, a few more Orcs fell sick with the same symptoms as before. This time, Gunador felt that something was off, and 50 or so Orcs fell sick.
Gunador understood how serious this matter was, so he immediately gathered all of Orc City's Generals and reported this matter to City Lord Kaki.
Within the hall, a valiant-looking Orc with a small braid on his head sat at the head of the hall – it was Kaki.
At that moment, Kaki's expression became serious as he asked, "What's going on? Have you found out what's going on? "
Gunador shook his head and replied, "City Lord, we haven't found out what's going on yet. Everything is still unclear, and these Beastmen suddenly fell ill without any warning. "
Kaki said in a low voice, "Hurry and find out what's going on. We can't let this matter blow up!"
The other Orcs obeyed and left the hall to find out what was going on.
They first gathered all of the Orcs who had fallen sick together because the way the Orcs fell sick was quite similar to a plague.
However, normal plagues wouldn't appear randomly. If it was a natural cause, there would definitely be a source, and it would be easier to find out what was going on. If it was man-made, they would be able to find some clues.
Right now, only the upper-class Orcs knew about this, and they started to deal with plagues. The ordinary Orcs didn't know about this yet, and if news of this got out, it would cause a lot of panic.
… …
Zhao Fu heard about this from Qin's Assassin, who had been hiding in the Orc City for a long time. It was finally time to pull in the net.
After such a long time, Zhao Fu had found out that there were 270,000 Orcs in the Orc City. There were 50,000 Orc soldiers, and 80% of them were Stage 1 Orcs. There were also 20,000 Goblins and some Kobolds.
These Goblins and Kobolds were slaves, so they weren't treated well. At best, they would be beaten up, and at worst, they would be killed.
Zhao Fu felt that he could make use of these 20,000 Goblins and Kobolds, and they would be of great use at crucial moments.
However, Qin was in a rush to level up a Basic City, and he would only be able to attack Orc City in a few days. There were two main reasons for this.
After leveling up to a Basic City, a City Lord Seal would be condensed, and having a City Lord Seal meant that one could control everything in the city. If one wanted to take down a city, they would first have to obtain a City Lord Seal. Otherwise, even if one entered the city, the City Heart would release a powerful energy barrier to defend itself.
Once a city condensed a City Lord Seal, the city would become a war machine, and the City Lord Seal would be able to use the city's power.
A City Lord Seal was the core of a city, and if its power was used up or damaged, the city would be affected, and it could even be destroyed.
Zhao Fu wanted to condense Qin Town's City Lord Seal so that he wouldn't have to use his Nation Armament to deal with the Orc City.
Another reason was that the Hidden Evil poison had only just started to flare up, and only a few dozen people had lost the ability to resist. This was far from what Zhao Fu wanted.
Zhao Fu wanted to easily take down Orc City. If they directly attacked, Town Qin would suffer great losses. After the Hidden Evil poison had flared up in a few days, it would be much easier to deal with the Orcs.
Moreover, the 220,000 Orc residents would be quite difficult to deal with. Even though ordinary Orc residents couldn't compare to soldiers, the Orcs themselves had decent battle strength, so Zhao Fu had to find a way to deal with the 220,000 Orc residents.
Tomorrow was the day to go to Orc City to exchange for people, so Zhao Fu decided to personally go and take a look before making a detailed plan.
"Men! Pass down my orders! From today onwards, all teams are to ignore the captives and attack villages as quickly as possible until Qin Town levels up. "
Zhao Fu's orders were immediately spread out, and the Generals immediately heard about it and started to attack the villages.
Soon, it was the next day, and Zhao Fu brought medicinal pills and equipment to Orc City. Gunador's expression didn't change at all, and he personally welcomed Zhao Fu with a big smile as he said, "Esteemed guest! Welcome to Orc City again. "
Zhao Fu also smiled as he replied, "Vice-Lord, you're being too courteous. We're all so familiar with each other, so it's a bit too distant. "
Gunador smiled and hurriedly apologized. With just a few simple words, it seemed like the two of them had become much closer. In the eyes of others, they would look like a pair of close friends who regretted not having met sooner.
However, both of them knew that they were just being polite and using each other. As soon as they found an opportunity, they wouldn't hesitate to destroy each other.
Zhao Fu had long since seen through this hypocrisy, but he had to put on a mask. After all, this was how the world was; people who were too straightforward simply couldn't survive.
Following this, Gunador took Zhao Fu to the sports field to check on the slaves that had been exchanged. Zhao Fu looked around and found that there were 2,000 people, which surprised Zhao Fu – this was the first time that the other side had brought so many slaves to trade.
"Vice-Lord! How did you manage to capture so many slaves this time? " Zhao Fu laughed as he asked in a probing tone.
Gunador could tell what Zhao Fu was trying to say, so he smiled as he replied, "Our warriors conquered a few villages this time and obtained so many slaves."
In actuality, Orc Cities normally obtained even more slaves than they did now. It was just that they either killed the people with high grades or kept them for themselves. This time, the slaves' grades were much higher, and if it wasn't for the fact that Gunador needed help from Zhao Fu, he wouldn't have done this.
Of course, Zhao Fu didn't believe Gunador, but he wasn't stupid enough to expose him. He nodded in satisfaction and prepared to take out some items to trade with Gunador.
At that moment, Gunador stopped Zhao Fu and said, "Dear guest, I don't need any equipment or medicinal pills this time. This time, I don't want any equipment or medicinal pills. I want to exchange for some highly effective healing medicines. "
Zhao Fu had been observing everything that was happening in Orc City, so he knew what was going on. From yesterday to today, 1,000 or so Orcs had fallen ill, and it was impossible to keep so many people in the dark. The entire Orc City felt a sense of crisis, and the higher-ups of the city were going crazy with worry.
There was no way to find the cause, no way to defend against it, and no way to treat it. This made Kaki feel a trace of danger, so he ordered people to deal with it.
The Orc City's resources were quite limited, and they only had some basic medicinal herbs. However, they didn't have any high-grade medicinal herbs, so Gunador had asked Zhou Ming to help him obtain some good medicinal herbs from the system main city. Gunador preferred to trade with Zhou Ming because he was easier to control.
However, facing the unfathomable Zhao Fu, Gunador was incredibly wary.
