Looking at the things ahead that resembled five small mountains, Bobo couldn’t help but shake her head.
She really couldn’t figure out how to deal with such things. In front of her, humans were already giants, and this group of ogres were like small mountains.
"You don’t intend to use poison, do you?" she couldn’t help but ask.
She thought about it, and that seed to be the only possibility.
If they attacked head-on, even with Kana and the Count, along with their current troops, they might not be able to take them down.
But the casualties they would suffer were absolutely unacceptable.
As she spoke, she also reminded, "According to records, ogres have a high resistance to poison, they can even eat so poisonous plants like snacks."
Hungry ogres in the wild would eat anything, so their poison resistance was naturally maxed out.
"Of course not, there’s no poison here that could take down an ogre."
As Kana spoke, he pointed towards the direction of the ogres.
"Observe carefully. See if you notice anything."
The group looked, then shook their heads again.
Indeed, they couldn’t see anything.
"If we increase the manpower and set traps, splitting off one or two ogres, wouldn’t it be much easier to deal with?"
Upon hearing this question, Anita was the first to nod, "If it were only one or two, we would have a complete chance of solving it with very minimal casualties."
She had indeed done this kind of thing with the church before; so wild ogres would sotis ravage an entire area.
Ordinary soldiers and militia couldn’t deal with them, often leading to the complete consumption of crops and livestock, followed by their departure.
The bold ones would even eat the farrs along with them.
"I observed before, this group of ogres is quite interesting; they actually have a fixed abode here.
Moreover, they should be going out on hunts in turns, which is our opportunity."
Anita, having dealt with ogres with the church, gained so understanding during the tracking practices.
Looking at the ogre camp, upon closer inspection, one could indeed find a lot of items piled around it.
And you could clearly see things that looked like piles of bones.
All these indicated that this camp was the fixed abode of these five ogres.
But this was unreasonable because the appetite of ogres was terrifying. Even if this place was good, it would barely support two ogres, let alone five.
A fixed abode was non-existent for them.
Furthermore, ogres are very lazy; you cannot expect them to walk a little farther to hunt.
So they always eat as they walk, leaving a trail of devastation. This also makes it difficult to catch them unless one is very unlucky.
"Is the food resource here very abundant, or are they guarding sothing?"
Anita could only think of these two possibilities.
"They have a double-headed ogre. The cave on the slope behind them should be a magic power node."
The double-headed ogre is the caster among the ogre tribe.
Besides the desire for food, they also added a thirst for magic power.
If there is a small tribe with a double-headed ogre in the wild, their fixed abode must be in an area near a magic power node.
The nature of ogres is greed plus laziness.
But with a double-headed ogre, there is a definite leader.
The other ogres would have to listen to him and start seeking food farther away.
So clever double-headed ogres would even learn farming and breeding.
Thus, a large ogre tribe is ford.
"Let’s go; I have an idea now."
Then they retraced their steps, quickly heading towards the centaur’s tribe to rest there for the night.
...
Near midnight, they finally arrived at the centaur tribe.
Upon their arrival, Andrew was a bit puzzled, "Why did you co back so quickly?"
"We have found a good settlent and wish to go back quickly and share this news with our fellow folks."
Hearing this, Andrew nodded, showing understanding. Anyone would be a bit excited about this matter.
"Where did you choose? We have so familiarity with this area," Andrew asked, wanting to know in advance.
Kana pointed and then described the area to him.
"Wait, you wouldn’t an the area next to the Leaf Fruit Forest, would you?"
The Leaf Fruit Forest is the orchard on the opposite bank of the river.
Kana nodded.
"No, no, you can’t go there," Andrew shook his head frantically.
Although the chieftain directed them to a place, it wasn’t that direction; otherwise, it would seem like a deliberate harm.
This could lead to misunderstandings.
"There’s a group of ogres there, you know about ogres, right? Didn’t you see them during your exploration there?
They don’t conceal themselves at all there; you should have easily discovered them."
That area is indeed good, but who doesn’t know it?
The location they originally provided was further south from the ogre’s area.
There is a group of tree spirits there, which are much easier to deal with than those five ogres.
Although it doesn’t compare to the ogre’s area, it’s still a good place for these humans.
"Don’t worry, we did see them. But we are confident in dealing with them, and that area is indeed very suitable for a settlent."
Kana said with a smile, the confidence on his face didn’t seem fake.
Of course, that’s ignoring the expressions of the people behind him.
"Confident in dealing with them?" Andrew looked at him, realizing that these humans might be even more formidable than they thought.
