Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

Any ability that is suppressed or challenged is undoubtedly the best opportunity to train it.

Bai E never felt he was strong enough that he needed no further improvement. Finally having a target superior to himself in "reflexes", it would be a waste not to use this opponent to train his weaker attributes.

[You have gradually reached your limit in the fierce battle, and made a breakthrough under immense pressure, reflexes +0.2.]

...

[Reflexes +0.2.]

...

'The pressure is immense...'

The once imposing green figure started doubting itself after being mercilessly knocked down time after time.

'Is this human really someone I can defeat at the moment?'

'Maybe it's better to come back next time... If I get hit again, I'll turn into a mushroom.'

'But... one last try!'

Show them your signature move!

Behold my little Liao's throwing knife!

"Whoosh!"

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out as the knife-like sleeve sword fiercely ripped through the "fragile" special forces combat suit. However, when faced with a chest as hard as eight-element alloy, it could only deform and silently fall to the ground after the loud clash.

Bai E squinted and patted his slightly painful chest. It wasn't just a slight pain; there was also a faint trace of blood... Absolute Defense became more effective as his Spiritual Energy level rose, like a rising tide lifts all boats. To be able to injure himself in his current state proved this orc was indeed formidable.

Casually tearing off the few strands of the combat suit hanging off him, Bai E wrapped the remaining clothes around his waist and tied them into a knot, revealing a muscular, yet not overly exaggerated, and uniquely attractive, bare upper body.

A few beads of sweat glistened in the sunlight, sliding over his slightly tanned pectoral muscles that appeared like a distinct and tough steel plate, yet filled with resilience.

"Slurp~" An indistinct noise suddenly sounded off within the sealed combat vehicle, piercing the silence of the confined space.

The four squad members exchanged glances as Stone chuckled, touching the corner of his mouth.

The awkwardness dissolved.

Only then did Rose, who had been staring in a daze, lick her lips, and in the corner, You carefully touched the corner of her mouth with her index finger.

"Boss is so cool~" The Grey Iron City players, who had never witnessed such a scene, instantly bought the persona of the "War God Squad" always touted by the Blackwater City players.

"Is this our Boss? Totally in love~"

"Life is all about the Boss..."

"I'm the Boss's dog (super loud)!"

Bai E glanced at the noisy crowd in the distance and, considering the orc's potential to tear up the ticket, he intentionally moved closer during the prolonged battle. Only at this distance did he keenly notice several familiar figures among the hostage crowd.

Is that Dai Lian, Kuang Xin and the others?

Quite a coincidence... He was coming in this direction originally to meet them, but it was unexpected to encounter them here.

And with so many players? In such a situation, only those silly players would stand out without a second thought.

As for the more silent crowd, probably the locals?

From where? Grey Iron City?

The thought flashed by momentarily.

The details can wait until he's driven away these orcs.

Bai E turned again to look at the green figure standing up from the ground nearby.

He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but Bai E felt that the orc's physique seemed to have shrunk since their first encounter...

"I'm not gonna fight you!" the Blade-faced Liao waved his hand, "But I will come back! My name is Blade-faced Liao! Remember this name!"

Stating his own name seemed to be an extremely exciting affair for Blade-faced Liao.

"waaaaagh!" With that said, he turned and started running away with jumps.

The comical retreating figure showcased an impressive speed; even Bai E might not be able to catch up if he ran at full speed.

"waaaaagh!"

A chorus of "waaaagh" cries followed.

The bewildered orc youngsters, touching their foreheads in confusion, saw their boss's cheerful departure and wondered why he seemed so happy. But as long as they followed the boss, it must be right, right?

"waaaaagh!"

"waaaaagh!"

Abandoning the human prisoners, the orc youths, holding their weapons and baring their large mouths, hopped and jumped as they pursued in the direction where the enemy had retreated.

The noise was messy, the green tide like the sea at ebb, chaotic and noisy yet uniformly in sync.

Even humans who couldn't understand the language could instinctively detect the cheerful mood from the emotions, as the bottom-dwelling civilians of Grey Iron City blinked their eyes in bewilderment, utterly failing to comprehend what had just happened.

Bai E didn't understand either.

But who cares?

Orcs were not like insects or demons, the absolute mortal enemies of humankind.

These orcs hadn't gone on a brutal killing spree, and more importantly, the situation of the humans captured by the orcs was unclear. Bai E, with only a four-man squad at his disposal, had no way to catch and kill all the fleeing orcs at once.

Leave it to them...

Bai E pressed his headset and whispered to his team members in the distant vehicle, "Come over."

Then he stepped on the ground that had been nearly sunk down by a dozen centimeters and walked towards the group of humans gathered together.

Gong Yan rose from the crowd with a smile on her lips, her voice, enhanced by Spiritual Energy, evenly reaching the minds of every civilian present, "This is the noble person I told you about who would accept us. Everyone... we're safe now."

A moment of silence.

The hopeless gloom of collective capture by the orcs had not yet completely cleared, as a human powerhouse had effortlessly defeated an orc tribe of hundreds all by himself.

From the words of those strange beings, some of the shrewder civilians had already sensed that this newly emerged strongman was one they knew.

However, it wasn't until Gong Yan's acknowledgment at this moment that all speculations found their final confirmation.

The noble person...

The noble person...

Is this the noble person Sheng Yan always spoke of?

Is this the noble person who commanded "Sheng Yan" to come to their rescue?

That term, which had seemed so distant and unattainable, suddenly became close, and the young man before them with a serene smile on his face, was that legendary noble person?

The strongman with power beyond their imagination, was he the object of their future hopes?

Were they... safe?

"What's the noble person's name?"

Thanks to his more approachable personality, an aboriginal who was familiar with Kuang Xin moved closer and asked Kuang Xin, who was only grinning foolishly at the moment.

"The noble person?" Kuang Xin asked in confusion, looking at the other party, "The noble person is the noble person, why do you need to call them by any name?"

"Oh~" The aborigine scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and knelt down respectfully on the spot, "Noble person, you are mighty!"

"Noble person, you are mighty!"

Bai E blinked his eyes, puzzled, and looked towards Gong Yan.

'What's going on?'

Dai Lian, supported by Yafei, dragged his legs over to Bai E's side and explained with a pale smile, "Noble person, these are the helpers we hired during our mission in Grey Iron City. Because they resisted the city, they were all driven out. Now... only you can give them a new life."

"..."

New life?

Over a thousand people?

Do you really see me as the big shot of Blackwater City?

So many ordinary people without any special talents approaching the city would have been discovered long ago by various patrolling alert teams coming from different forces around the city, right?

Black Street?

Forget about it.

Before reaching Black Street, who knows how many layers of screenings they would have to undergo, and even if they got there in the end, it would only cause an unimaginable disturbance to the existing order and easily attract a lot of unwanted attention.

Bai E wasn't averse to more people, but taking too big a step could lead to trouble.

You guys really know how to give me a challenge...

Bai E narrowed his eyes in contemplation, when suddenly a target jumped out from his memory.
