Warlord: King of All Clans

Seeing Leo's long crescent blade hanging above his head, the minotaur panicked and couldn't even hold back his voice. "I, the chieftain of the Mammoth Goblin Clan, Strong Mammoth, surrender!"

Leo became curious: "Aren't you a minotaur? How did you become the chief of the goblins?"

"No, Strong is a goblin~, a minotaur goblin!" The minotaur Strong Mammoth raised his voice again and explained quickly: "I am the son of the great goblin chief Apollo Mammoth, Strong Mammoth, a minotaur goblin!"

Well, this is a guy with racial dysphoria.

Leo could only guess that perhaps he was a minotaur tamed by the goblin tribe just like they tamed mammoths.

Tundra goblins are good at taming beasts, but they do not enslave the beasts, but rather form a symbiotic relationship with them.

They provide food to mammoths or woolly rhinos in exchange for their protection, just like kobolds provide for ogres, except that they are more proactive.

It is not impossible that a tauren who was raised eventually became a member of the goblins.

"Give me a reason not to kill you."

The Minotaur Strong's eyes rolled around, sizing up Leo and the Rose Knight, as cunning and sly as a goblin. "I'm familiar with this place. Wherever humans want to go, Strong can lead the way!"

Leo's heart moved, and he asked, "Then do you know the hunting base of the beastmen?"

Strong nodded quickly, "Ah? I know! I know! There are three hunting bases of the beastmen, and Strong has been to all of them!"

Leo was a little surprised. There were three hunting bases?

This is new news.

So he put away his long crescent blade, climbed back on Red Hare, and ordered, "Then follow me."

Si Zhuang shrank back, a cunning look appeared on his face, and he said, "Si Zhuang wants to go back and explain to his people first!"

It's so obvious that you're lying!

"No." Leo refused directly, "Do you want to bring your clan to fight me again? Aren't you afraid that I will kill them all?"

Strong looked at Leo and his dragon-scale horse with a look of fear.

He muttered something in an unknown dialect, turned around and got on the mammoth, following Leo.

Although the mammoth is powerful, it is not fast and cannot outrun the dragon-scale horse and the unicorn. Strong obviously understands this and behaves very well along the way.

On the way back, Leo asked about the minotaur Strong's origin.

As he had guessed, this tauren was raised by the previous goblin chieftain and was originally used as a mammoth to provide protection to the tribe.

But Strong firmly believed that he was the chief's son, and defeated the rest of the heirs to become the chief of this small goblin tribe.

He proudly told Leo that through extremely fierce battles, the mighty Strong defeated the five sons of the Goblin Father in a duel!

Unlike the relatively mild-mannered, dull and honest Tauren, Strong possesses both the physical fitness of a Tauren and the cunning thinking of a goblin, and his moral bottom line is very flexible.

Unfortunately, the Minotaur does not have the gene to be good at lying, so his cunning is written all over his face. After just a few words of conversation, Leo can easily tell which of his words are lies and which are true.

After joining the main force, the soldiers in the legion were also curious when they saw the minotaur behind Leo.

But Strong behaved very well. In order to eliminate the threat brought by his three-meter height, he even squatted most of the time when talking to people, successfully eliminating most of the hostility.

Lord Beowulf was well-informed, so he did not ask any questions. Instead, he continued to discuss the next journey with several captains based on the information gathered by the scouts.

After entering the wilderness, there are only some mountain directions and a few key marks on the map to prevent people from getting lost.

This is the map provided by Earl Beowulf. Although there are only some simple lines and landmarks on it, it is the geographical information collected by Earl Beowulf's family over hundreds of years.

If you change to other maps, the lines here are simpler, or even just blank.

But there are no roads in the wilderness, and the simple route of the mountains and rivers cannot guarantee that the army can pass through. If they rush around blindly, they may not be able to reach their destination in three to five months.

The legion commanders could only temporarily plan the next route based on the information from the scouts.

Leo brought Strong closer and smiled, "I found a guide for you."

"He said there are three hunting bases."

Beowulf glanced at the cowering minotaur and nodded, "There are indeed three, but one is in the far north. It was an early hunting base for the orcs. Now, due to insufficient resources, it does not supply much food to the orc army. The third was a new hunting base built after the main force of the orcs arrived in Frovald. Its current output is not high."

"We are going to the second one that was put into use half a year ago. It is the main base for supplying food to the orc army."

Leo suddenly realized that the human army had already figured out this information, but there was no need to explain it to the people below before.

Leo picked up the map, pointed to the location of the orcs' second hunting base, and asked Strong: "Do you know how to get here?"

"Ah? Strong doesn't understand!" The minotaur Strong said in a goblin tone, "But Strong knows how to get to the second hunting base!"

"Very good." Lord Beowulf smiled and nodded in approval.

Next, Leo and Count Beowulf began to carefully question the Minotaur about the direction of the hunting base.

Letting the Minotaur be a guide certainly does not mean following him and letting him lead you into the mountains.

Any normal person would not be so credulous.

Instead, ask for the route and then send scouts to confirm it. This way, you don't have a hundred scouts running around in the wilderness, scouting a lot of useless areas.

With a clear direction, the efficiency of scout reconnaissance is improved, and they can better avoid places that may pose a threat to the legion.

The presence of the guide party shortened the legion's march by at least two days.

The Minotaur Strong was not lying. He was indeed very familiar with this area and knew the nearby terrain very well.

Know where you can pass, where you need to avoid, where there is water, and where you can camp.

He also told Leo some very useful information, such as how high the hunting base's walls were and how many people were stationed there.

For example, when should the clans in the south hand in food, and when should the clans in the north hand in food.

When will the orcs' food transport team arrive and when will the hunting base have the most food reserves?

Without Strong's disclosure, the raiding supernatural army had no way of knowing the internal information of the orcs. They could only scout the place slowly after arriving at the place.

Five days later, the Extraordinary Legion finally arrived at the Orc hunting base.
