There were still 301 Gnomes, and Zhao Fu took out 100 Gnome Crossbowmen. After returning to Qin Village, he rebuilt the Gnome Village and Bandit Village.
Afterwards, he went to the western side of Qin Village and took out a cube that gave off a blue light. He pressed it against the ground, and waves of blue light rippled out.
"System announcement! Would you like to use the City Creation Stone? "
Zhao Fu replied, "Yes!"
The image of a few buildings gradually appeared, and a system announcement sounded out, "Please name the village!"
Zhao Fu thought about it and decided that since the village was to the west of Qin Village, he would name it Westwood Village.
After naming the village, four figures gradually appeared. One was a white-bearded elder, the other three were a Blacksmith, an Alchemist, and a Tailor. Apart from the white-bearded elder, who was B grade, the other three were C grade. Zhao Fu brought 10 or so people from Qin Village to build some basic facilities for Westwood Village.
After taking care of these matters, Zhao Fu ordered people to bring the bandit leader to the region of bones. Even though Zhao Fu hadn't developed a skill that could examine corpses, he could tell who had the highest grade. For example, as the leader of the village, his grade was definitely the highest.
Zhao Fu placed the bandit leader's corpse on the altar and used the Heaven and Earth Refining Formation to obtain an S grade Grade Orb. Now, the energy within the jade slot had been used up by 1%, and it could only be used up after refining 100 more corpses.
As for who this S grade Grade Orb should belong to, Zhao Fu already had someone in mind, which was Li Wen. Zhao Fu felt that he owed Li Wen a lot, so he made him stay in this dark passageway every day.
"Here! Li Wen! "
Zhao Fu called Li Wen over and personally handed the Grade Orb to him.
Li Wen knelt on one knee, looking incredibly excited and moved. He was the first person that Zhao Fu had thought of to help him, and he thanked Zhao Fu before taking the Grade Orb and using it.
The Grade Orb gave off a faint blood-red light as it floated above Li Wen's head and gradually became larger, turning into a bubble that covered Li Wen. Within the bubble, Li Wen's eyes were tightly closed, as if something was going on. After a while, the bubble disappeared, and Li Wen's grade rose to S grade.
Zhao Fu saw that Li Wen's aptitude had increased and returned to the ground.
Right now, Zhao Fu had 11 villages under his command. Six of them were Human villages, three were Goblin villages, and two were Gnome villages. In total, he had 1,800 soldiers.
Seeing so many soldiers, Zhao Fu thought that he could go and meet the Beastman Tribe that was 50 kilometers away. Of course, Zhao Fu wouldn't foolishly reveal information about his village. Instead, he wanted to investigate the Beastman Tribe's true strength. Rather than worrying about the Beastman Tribe's attack every day, he might as well take the initiative to attack. At the very least, he would have the initiative.
At that moment, a Gnome Mechanic Scholar ran over and said something to Zhao Fu. A look of delight appeared on Zhao Fu's face, and he decided not to go out for now. He would stay in Qin Village for a few more days, and he handed the 1,800 soldiers over to Bai Qi to train.
A few days later, Zhao Fu once again gathered his soldiers, brought some rations, and prepared to set out.
Suddenly!
Zhao Fu's body froze as a system announcement sounded out in his mind.
"You have received a Divine Decree!"
A strange expression appeared on Zhao Fu's face – he had almost forgotten that he was a Demon Priest. This Divine Decree was most likely referring to God Kerr, who had given him the Demon Priest profession.
Zhao Fu looked at the contents of the Divine Decree and found that it was to greatly increase the number of believers and make sacrifices.
After reading through the contents of the Divine Decree, Zhao Fu frowned. He could make sacrifices, but he wasn't willing to increase the number of believers. Of course, at the same time, Zhao Fu didn't believe in any gods, as he believed that humans could conquer the heavens.
Suddenly!
Zhao Fu thought of the Heaven and Earth Refining Formation, which could refine anything in the heavens and the earth. Then … could godly spirits also be refined?
As this thought appeared in Zhao Fu's mind, he started to feel excited. He thought of a series of plans, and he had a feeling that they would succeed.
God Kerr didn't know that Zhao Fu had already set his sights on it, and of course, Zhao Fu wouldn't directly go and kill a god. After all, the planes were different, and Zhao Fu didn't have the power to cross planes. Even if he could cross planes, Zhao Fu and the others would be instantly killed. Even though God Kerr was only a weak godly spirit, it was still a godly spirit, and its power wasn't something that Zhao Fu could deal with.
Zhao Fu understood all of this, but Zhao Fu had a plan in mind. Putting that aside for now, he had to deal with the threat of the Orc Tribe first.
They officially set out!
…
It was a cloudy day, and the sky was completely covered by clouds, making it quite dark. There was a cool breeze blowing through the mountains and forests, and after a few days of travelling, Zhao Fu's group finally arrived 100 kilometers away. With the Grey Dwarves leading the way, Zhao Fu's group quickly found the 5,000 Orc Tribe.
This Beastman Tribe was located at the foot of a hill. There were definitely more than five thousand of them. More than a thousand of them were old, weak, women, and children, while the rest were four thousand Beastman Warriors. These Beastman Warriors were all tall and muscular, with ash-gray skin and terrifying faces. Their bodies were wrapped in beast hides, and their hands were either wielding axes or maces.
Facing so many Orcs, if Zhao Fu tried to fight them head-on, he definitely wouldn't be able to defeat them. After all, these Orcs were already very powerful, and ordinary people would be at a disadvantage against them. Zhao Fu's group was much better off, as they had all sorts of profession bonuses.
If it was just Zhao Fu's group, it would be very difficult to defeat this Orc Tribe. As such, Zhao Fu sank into his thoughts.
Seeing this, Bai Qi said, "Your Majesty, let's first ask if there are any other factions here. After all, we've come from 100 kilometers away, and we need to gather information about this place before we can formulate a strategy. "
Hearing this, Zhao Fu nodded. He understood that he had been a bit impatient, so he had the Grey Dwarf give him a comprehensive explanation of this place.
Following this, Zhao Fu heard that there were three large factions within 50 kilometers. One was 18 kilometers to the south, and there was a Goblin Village with around 5,000 people. The other was 21 kilometers to the west, and there was a Kobold Village with around 4,000 people. The last was 20 kilometers to the east, and there was an Elf Village with around 3,000 people.
Now that he had all of this information, Zhao Fu's mind became much clearer.
There were two methods. The first was to unite the three villages and attack the Beastman Tribe together. With the Beastmen's barbaric and aggressive nature, the three surrounding villages would definitely be bullied and humiliated by the Beastman Tribe. The first method would work.
