Leo led the ogre into the abandoned tower, as if he was returning to his own home, and introduced the residence as he walked. "You can put up a roof on the open space inside the wall and live inside. The rooms inside are too small to be suitable for you to live in, but they can be used to store food." "Actually, this blockhouse is not small, but many parts have collapsed. You can repair it when you have time, but it is not recommended to do so, in case it collapses more..." Leo introduced himself, and the ogre leader followed behind him and nodded and said, "Okay!" The leader of the ogres was the largest of the fifteen two-headed ogres. One of his heads was strong and powerful with bright eyes, while the other was withered and thin, and looked wilted. The sturdy one was talking to Leo, while the thin one kept his eyes narrowed as if he was sleeping. The ogre leader's stout head was grinning the whole time, and he obviously liked his new home very much. The people in the North were so hospitable that he thought it was a trap and were ready to pick up a stick and beat people at any time! After arranging for the ogre to stay, Leo reminded him worriedly: "When you get here, try not to rob. It will have a bad impact." The ogre leader scratched his head and said in distress: "If we don't rob, what will we eat?"
That seems to make sense... Leo could only persuade and coax: "The races around here are all my friends. If you rob them, you will ask me to judge the matter. Who will I help?" "And the human lords here are not the cowards in other places. There are hundreds of knights in armor! If you rob them today, we will come to wipe you out tomorrow!" "Go hunting, try to hunt, if that doesn't work, plant some land." There was fear in the eyes of the ogre leader. All the alien races in the wilderness were afraid of the human lord's army, otherwise they would not have been driven into the wilderness. This is even more true for ogres. They have huge appetites, and one place cannot support too many of them. They can only split into small tribes of ten or twenty ogres and wander around until they encounter a strong enemy and are killed. This is why they are so good at camouflage. As for the scenes in games and novels in previous lives where hundreds or thousands of ogres gathered together, they basically do not exist. An ogre eats more than ten humans, and is not good at farming. Relying solely on hunting and looting, they can eat all the grass in an area of dozens of miles to the point where not a single blade of grass can grow within a year. Hundreds or thousands of ogres gather together and cannibalize their own children in a matter of minutes, leading to complete extinction. Therefore, although individual ogres are powerful, they are actually still a weak race. They can only bully small tribes in the wilderness, and if they encounter slightly larger tribes, they can only stay away from them. The ogre leader was obviously deeply touched by Leo's words. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, hide, hunt, and farm!" Feeling Leo's kindness, the ogre leader placed a hand on Leo's shoulder and said solemnly: "You, my friend! You can't eat it!" "Yes! We are friends!" Leo's heart stopped beating when his big hand was on his shoulder. He felt that if the other party exerted a little force, he would be crushed. After settling the ogre and walking out of the abandoned tower, Leo finally breathed a sigh of relief. On the way back, Ivan stared at him with a strange look on his face. He couldn't help but ask, "Leo, can you be friends with everyone?" Leo shrugged. "Why not?" "These ogres are lazy and greedy. They will eventually eat humans, right?" "Calm them down first and set up rules. If they can follow them, just leave them alone. If they can't follow the rules, at worst we will have to spend some effort to suppress them." Leo expressed his true thoughts.
"This is the area where the Kobolds are active. I'll ask Feisa to keep a close eye on it. As long as they don't eat us Riverbend people, everything will be fine." "Besides, suppressing bandits is not just our job at Hewan. If a war really breaks out, we can invite the knight lords in the south and the garrison in the western watchtower to share some of the pressure." Ivan nodded as he thought about it, feeling that he still had a lot to learn. In fact, Ivan is one year older than Leo, but he has become Leo's follower. In the past, it could be said that it was because of Rio’s strength that he was the second best player in Hewan after Ulyaan. Now, it is because Leo has come to his senses and has done a lot of reliable things using unreliable methods, which has opened Ivan's eyes and made him follow him willingly. The next day after returning to the river bend, early in the morning, a shrill horn sounded from the canal watchtower. Leo quickly climbed up to the watchtower on top of the Lord's House, and saw the situation outside the canal from a distance. He then shouted to the crowd below: "It's okay! The alarm is lifted!" Although the alarm was lifted, Leo still gathered more than 20 militiamen and rushed towards the canal. The ogre leader, who had just been appeased yesterday, stood opposite the canal with two ogre warriors, confronting several militiamen. The faces of these militiamen were pale and their legs were trembling, but they did not run away. They just held up their swords and shields and prevented the ogres from crossing the canal. This is already very brave. As expected, defending the homeland doubles the morale. Once they run, the villagers will be the ones to suffer. It will be worth it even if they die here if they can delay here for a few minutes and allow the militia to gather. Leo looked at the militiamen on guard with satisfaction. These militiamen were finally trained. As long as they are equipped with equipment, their courage and combat power are at the level of regular infantry of the empire. The kind where one soldier can chase ten serfs! But in front of the ogres, this is not enough. Even the human race's heavily armored elite infantry cannot withstand a blow from them. At least it takes awakened warriors. The three two-headed ogres did not get angry because of the resistance of the militia, but stood quietly outside the canal, waiting for Leo to appear. "Why are you here? Are you here to visit?" Leo pushed aside the stiff militiamen, walked to the canal, and stood face to face with the two-headed ogre leader. "Hunting! Success!" The two-headed ogre leader's sturdy head explained, and the other skinny head immediately added: "Friends! Gifts!" As he spoke, an ogre nearby put down the deer on its back and threw it into the ditch. The huge deer corpse fell at Leo's feet, stirring up a cloud of dust and making a dull thud. This is an immature antlered deer, but it is almost as big as a donkey. There were quite a few antlered deer near the river bend, but unfortunately they ran faster than horses and were very alert, so no one knew how these ogres caught them. Leo was relieved, happily accepted the gift, and said to Ivan, "Hurry up and take some people to carry a few bags of wheat. I want to return the gift." Seeing that Leo was so happy, the ogre leader was also very happy and turned away. As they walked, the two heads were still talking loudly. "Human, smells so good!"
"Friend, you can't eat it!" "Catch secretly! Eat secretly!" The militiamen nearby turned pale when they heard this, and they all felt that their fate was doomed to fail.
