The Beishan mining area has been completely occupied by them and has become their temporary stronghold.

Bonfires were lit on the mining site. On this land where they once dared not rest for even a moment, they could now sit down warmly and enjoy the peace and beauty.

After a busy day, Su Tang stretched and walked to Erlan, who was discussing follow-up matters with the rescued commanders.

These commanders were all seven-star orcs, and one of them was eight-star. When facing the young Erlan, none of them showed any contempt for the younger generation.

There was no way Patrick could stop doing things, and Nolan had special talents and was not suitable for contacting too many people, so the job of leading these people naturally fell on Erland.

No one will be dissatisfied, and no one dares to be dissatisfied with him.

After all, Erlan represents the Beast King and has done them a favor.

Rubbing his eyes, Su Tang walked closer, his voice unable to hide his fatigue.

"How did the discussion go? Is there anything I can do to help?"

During the conversation, the commanders also learned about Su Tang's identity, Erlan's partner, who was also a high-level purifier.

Su Tang had just rescued the people from the Beishan mining area, and he had single-handedly allowed them to eat some fresh meat.

To provide food for hundreds of people, working non-stop, this kindness alone is worthy of respect.

The commander who was originally in Beishan nodded towards Su Tang and greeted her warmly.

"Lady Saint, thank you for your hard work!"

Su Tang waved his hand at them, "Alright, we are all family, don't be polite, it's awkward."

Erlan took the opportunity to grab her waist and assert his sovereignty.

"We have almost finished discussing everything. After we have dealt with the Oliver tribe, we will return to the Far North. However, the Beast King's retreat route has not yet been planned."

The matter of the Beast King has been exposed. Even if they have sent people to intercept the orc who reported the news, it is unlikely to kill all the people of the Oliver tribe.

In that case, we can only delay it.

The later the Temple discovers it, the more advantageous it will be for them to develop and gather their own strength. By that time, when the Temple wants to wipe them out, it will have to consider how much manpower and material resources it will lose.

Fighting a war is not as simple as it sounds. Whether in ancient times or modern times, the financial and human resources consumed by a full-scale war are incalculable.

"Let's discuss this first. We've been busy all day. The food is ready. Let's enjoy dinner first!"

Su Tang directly exceeded his authority and made the decision for Erlan. Erlan did not feel offended and nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, it's getting late. Let's go to bed first. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Several commanders nodded and left. Perhaps mindful of their status as commanders, they all maintained their demeanor. However, their speed was astonishingly fast.

How could they, who had eaten too much sour and bitter meat, resist the thought of fresh meat?

After the few people left, Erlan put his hands on Su Tang's waist, and his warm strength soothed her soreness and fatigue.

"Let's go back too."

Su Tang winked at him playfully, "You can look forward to it, I'm going to cook for you myself today!"

When Su Tang lived on her own in the tribe, she cooked and ate for herself. After living with Erlan, Erlan took care of her in every aspect, so Su Tang hadn't cooked for a long time.

Thinking that he was tired after a whole day, Su Tang started to prepare the meal.

Erlan rubbed the top of her head, feeling pleased, and said "OK" calmly.

The two returned to the simple tent built with leaves. Time was tight, so they decided to make it as simple as possible.

Lifting the lid, Su Tang first served him a bowl of broth, then opened the lid next to it, revealing the meat slices she had fried.

Due to the scarcity of spices, it is not realistic for Su Tang to make delicious dishes. Fortunately, the purified meat does not have the fishy smell that must be removed, and it tastes good no matter how it is cooked.

Su Tang first served him a large bowl of meat slices, and then picked up a small bowl for herself. She handed the bowl to Erlan and handed him the chopsticks.

"Have a try."

Erlan took the bowl and chopsticks, and without even blowing on them, he picked up a large piece of meat and put it in his mouth, praising it very flatteringly, "It's delicious."

"Then eat more. If it's not enough, I'll make more."

"You've been tired all day, so you should rest early. Don't we have important things to do tomorrow? Besides, this food is enough for me."

"OK then."

Su Tang also added a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. The smooth and fragrant taste exploded on his taste buds. These slices of meat were fried with the freshest and tenderest parts, and the taste was excellent, making people unable to help but secrete more saliva to chew and swallow.

She blew on the broth in the bowl and took a sip. It was really a happy thing to enjoy delicious food after a busy day!

Patrick certainly didn't need to do it himself. After all, he was the Beast King. If he had to do such a thing himself, it would be unbecoming of a superior.

I fought for you and died for you, but after that I couldn't even have a hot meal. If it were you, what would you do?

Of course, taking care of the elderly and widowed is something that is ingrained in every orc's DNA.

Patrick was holding the bowl, and Nolan, who was sitting lazily opposite him, found the food in his mouth hard to swallow.

Boy, do you have to be so pretentious just for a meal?

The little guy on the ground grunted and buried his face in the bowl. Soon he finished the whole bowl of meat paste.

If he was self-aware, he would run towards the pot with the bowl on his head after eating. The females would be filled with maternal love when they saw such a cute little guy asking for food, and would immediately give him a large piece of meat.

The little guy sniffed and ran to another campfire.

"Eat! Meat!"

The little guy was adorable, and he was the child of the King of Beasts, so everyone naturally liked him and gave him food without hesitation.

The food came back to Patrick with its head sticking out. The little guy jumped a few times. Patrick clicked his tongue and picked up the bowl. He mashed the meat in the bowl and put it on the ground.

Since this child started eating meat, his appetite has been increasing.

The little guy stared at Patrick with starry eyes, and the moment the bowl was put down, he buried his face in it again, making grunting sounds while eating.

Nolan couldn't help it either, he wiped the corner of his mouth gracefully, caught a glimpse of the little guy on the ground with his peripheral vision, and poked him with his foot.

"Are you raising a child or a pet? I can sense that he is not of the same race as you. But I heard him calling you grandpa all the time?"

"Of course he's not my kid! I picked him up."

"Is that so?" Nolan was also a little curious. Not to mention Patrick's race, he had never seen the little guy's race before.

"Very unique patterns. What race is he?"

Patrick was eating his rice and answered him hastily: "Have you heard of the poisonous tail scorpion?"

Nolan had heard some rumors about this clan.

"Is it the race that is rumored to be able to curse and kill the Beast King from a distance of thousands of miles? Weren't they exterminated long ago?"

"How would I know? When I picked him up, his tribe had been completely wiped out."

The poison-tailed scorpion clan was the first race that the outsiders targeted for elimination. Their abilities were truly bizarre, so how could the outsiders not be on guard? After a round of elimination, it was said that the clan had already been wiped out.
