Northwest of the Goblin Village, about twenty minutes' journey along a river, there was a natural cave.
Inside the cave, multiple figures were active.
In the deepest part, a girl's voice resounded.
She wore a miko-style outfit, had light pink long hair, and two white horns.
The girl, the Ogre Clan princess, was feeding the Little Fang Wolves before her with smoked meat that couldn't be called delicious.
"Eat more."
These Little Fang Wolves were caught yesterday.
The reason for this was to deal with attacks from the Direwolf Clan.
As long as the wolf cubs were in their hands, the Fang Wolves generally wouldn't act rashly.
Seeing this scene, the Red-haired Great Ogre, who had just returned from patrol, frowned.
"I said yesterday that there's no need to give them food, and we don't have much to eat ourselves."
The Red-haired Great Ogre was tall, dressed in samurai attire, with a katana at his waist, exuding a strong Japanese aesthetic.
Hearing him say this, the Ogre Clan princess did not stop what she was doing.
"Brother, these Little Fang Wolves are our 'hostages,' right? If they were to lose their lives now, those Fang Wolves definitely wouldn't let it go."
"Even so, just give them the bare minimum of water and food."
"Wolf cubs are growing; the amount you mentioned isn't enough, Brother."
"We caught them not to raise them well..."
Facing everything his sister was doing, the Red-haired Great Ogre, as her brother, felt a little helpless.
Just as he was about to say something more, footsteps came from outside the cave.
It wasn't an enemy, but companions who had just dispersed to investigate.
There were four in total, with a female Ogre Clan member with light purple long hair and an obsidian-like single horn leading the way.
After reuniting with everyone, she quickly said,
"I saw two figures: an exaggeratedly large Fang Wolf and a human riding on it, with no intention of hiding their presence!"
"Riding on a Fang Wolf? Could it be reinforcements brought by the Fang Wolves?"
The Red-haired Great Ogre thought for a moment, then glanced at his sister behind him and the wolf cubs locked in the cage.
"Bring those little things, and prepare for battle!!"
After saying this, the expressions of the six Ogre Clan members became serious.
A few days ago, the Ogre Clan's village was attacked by the Orcs led by the Hog King, suffering a devastating blow, leaving only these few Ogre Clan members.
To survive, they had no choice but to move within the Jura Great Forest.
They investigated the truth while trying to find a way to get revenge.
And now—
"No matter who the opponent is, this time we cannot lose again!"
The six Ogre Clan members were resolute.

Chen Hai's subsequent actions did not involve all the Goblins and Fang Wolves.
He only allowed Ranga to accompany him, to find the wolf cubs while resolving the threat of those Ogre Clan members.
Hearing this, Rigurd quickly said,
"Is there anything we need to do?! Lord Chen Hai! We don't want to sit idly by!"
"What you need to do is simple: train in two-person teams. If anyone performs exceptionally, you can record it, and I will reward them then."
"No problem! Leave it to me!"
After saying this, Chen Hai sat on Ranga's back and together they left the Goblin Village.
Moving away from the stronghold and entering the forest, Ranga's speed did not slow down.
"Because of my Lord's naming, not only has my perception of the surroundings become stronger, but my sense of smell has also improved. I can smell the scent of those children."
"How far?"
"At the Goblins' speed, at least twenty minutes, but... I only need three minutes."
With that, Ranga, telling Chen Hai to hold on tight, suddenly exerted force, leaped from the ground, and instantly crossed a stretch of forest.
Chen Hai, unmoving on the wolf's back, watched the constantly receding scenery. From his elevated position, he quickly spotted a river.
"The scent is near the river. The opponent wants to use the river's scent and the various smells of the forest to cover their tracks, but it's not very effective."
Ranga finished speaking, accelerated again, and soon reached the river area.
As soon as he landed, new movements came from all around.
From within the shaking bushes, a ball of demonic fire suddenly erupted.
Its target was Chen Hai, on Ranga's back.
Seeing the demonic fire rushing towards his face, Chen Hai simply waved his hand, dispersing it.
Without hesitation, Ranga roared in that direction.
The roar, accompanied by wind pressure, intimidation, and impact, nearly uprooted the trees!
The figure hiding within revealed himself.
He rolled on the ground, then drew his sword and charged forward.
Chen Hai saw an Ogre Clan member dressed as a samurai.
The opponent was very fast: rolling, deflecting force, drawing the sword, charging, circling, striking—all in one fluid motion.
Ranga, seeing this, leaped backward to create distance.
However, someone was already ambushing from behind.
Two Ogre Clan members, one on the left and one on the right, intended to attack Ranga as he was about to land.
"Master! Get off my back! It's dangerous now!"
"No need."
Before Chen Hai finished speaking, the power he controlled erupted in this space.
Ignis's flames;
Veldora's fierce winds.
The two powers combined and were ultimately released in a weakened form.
A fiery tornado engulfed the scene, instantly wrapping around two Ogre Clan members who tried to attack from behind.
High temperatures and clothes-tearing gales immediately erupted, and the fire tornado's impact spread everywhere.
This sent the two Ogre Clan members flying, only stopping when they crashed into tree trunks.
"Stop, I'm not here to fight," Chen Hai said, and Ranga swiftly moved him to the side, dodging a dagger thrown from the shadows.
His gaze shifted, and Chen Hai softly said, "Come down."
Bang!
A gale born from the void erupted, sending the ninja-clad Ogre Clan member hidden in the shadows flying.
However, some had not given up.
The Red-haired Great Ogre, whose attack missed, charged forward a second time, intending to attack from the side.
Chen Hai extended his right index finger and lightly swiped at the Red-haired Great Ogre.
Space seemed to be cut by flames, and the scorching impact released by the rift engulfed the Red-haired Great Ogre.
"Ah ah ah ah!!" the Red-haired Great Ogre shrieked, and Chen Hai then heard a girl's cry:
"Please wait! Please wait! The Wolf Cub is here! We actually don't want to fight you!"
A pink-haired girl ran out.
Dressed in a miko outfit, she held a cage containing the Wolf Cub and obediently placed it on the ground.
Seeing this, Chen Hai also stopped his actions.
Ranga didn't hesitate either, quickly going over and biting the edge of the cage, protecting the Wolf Cub by his side.
"My Lord! Everything we've done is not for fighting!" the girl emphasized again, her face serious.
Chen Hai looked at her, and the name 'Shuna' popped into his head.
However, she hadn't been named yet; she was just an ordinary Ogre Clan princess.
Although she was very cute... "We want to talk!"
"It seems there's finally a smart one," Chen Hai patted Ranga's head, and the latter crouched down, allowing Chen Hai to dismount steadily.
At the same time, the Ogre Clan members who had just been blasted, sent flying, and taught a lesson, also appeared together behind the pink-haired girl.
"What I want to talk about is simple: you now have two choices," Chen Hai said bluntly.
"Submit to me, or... disappear from here."
Rather than treating them gently, Chen Hai, adopting the stance of a superior, believed this approach would be more convenient and faster.
At the same time... he added, "I will also grant you the power for revenge."
The carrot and the stick are both essential.
This applies not only to the Adventurers in is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon? but also to the Ogre Clan in that time i got reincarnated as a slime.
