"hateful!"
The militia captain gritted his teeth and swung his greatsword fiercely at the orc. Each swing of his sword added a large gash to the orc's body, but whenever he swung his sword to strike the orc's neck or pierce its heart, the orc would block it with its muscular arms, preventing him from delivering a fatal blow.
"Come here! Coward!"
After knocking away six regular soldiers, the orc closest to Liu Tianyu was less than 5 meters away.
It was clear that it wanted to capture the leader first, so it ignored the two regular soldiers beside Liu Tianyu and charged straight at Liu Tianyu.
"damn it!"
Seeing the orc charging towards him, Liu Tianyu's heart trembled violently, but he still mustered his strength, gripped the longsword in his right hand, and prepared to fight this green-skinned beast that was charging towards him.
"Bam—"
The expected collision did not occur. Instead, a whooshing sound came faster than the orc's trampling, followed by a gust of wind blowing past Liu Tianyu's ears.
"Boom!" Immediately following was the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
Liu Tianyu had already squinted his eyes, but when he noticed the sound of something hitting the ground and the vibrations around him, he couldn't help but open his eyes.
The orc, who had been so arrogant and excited, wanting to tear him to pieces, was now lying motionless on the ground.
Its tiny eyes widened as if trying to bulge out its tadpole-sized pupils.
Its body lay on the ground in an irregular shape, motionless. A javelin, made of oak and steel, was clearly visible embedded in its green head, deeply piercing its skull.
The two regular soldiers beside Liu Tianyu remained in their halberd-wielding stances, ready to counter the orc's charge. Therefore, it was clear they weren't the ones who killed the orc. So…
Liu Tianyu couldn't help but look ahead. Not far away, a 1.85-meter-tall muscular man wearing a Germanic war god helmet, striped armor, leather gloves, and iron gaiters, holding a round shield half his height in his left hand and still in a javelin-throwing posture with his right hand, was also staring intently at everything around him.

Chapter Four: When Emperor Nano Arrives (Thanks to Fire Cloud Light and Evil Little Mage for the 100 Cute Coins reward)
Seeing that the tall, strong orc was so easily blown off its head by a javelin, both the Stormwind Territory troops and the invading orcs fell into an eerie silence.
After all, the orcs' charge was like a human tank, directly knocking away several armored regular soldiers. Even the damage inflicted on them by the orcs' halberds was only superficial.
But now, the orcs who were just so arrogant have been so easily blown in the head by a javelin. It all seems so unreal.
"Da da da"
Just as everyone stopped what they were doing, the sound of a pair of neat iron boots pounding the ground grew louder as they approached.
Behind the Nord Royal Guard who had just finished throwing his spear, nine Nord Royal Guards dressed almost identically to him stepped out in neat formation.
Equally well-equipped and exuding the same chilling aura, the moment they appeared, it was as if the air itself froze.
“Lok'tarogar!”
Just then, a wild roar broke the silence.
The burly orc wearing a horned helmet who had just challenged Liu Tianyu to a duel saw his subordinate inexplicably blown to the head by a javelin.
He immediately shifted his attention from Liu Tianyu, who was right in front of him, to the well-equipped Nord Royal Guards in the distance.
In his view, these guys in striped armor and Germanic helmets dared to launch a sneak attack, which was an insult to the honor of warriors!
With his blood rushing to his head, he grabbed his huge battle axe and charged toward the Nord royal guards who were already lined up.
"Roar! Let's go with the boss and take down these humans who are ambushing us from the shadows!"
"Awooooo, let's steal these humans' equipment!"
Upon seeing the horned orc unleash a battle cry, it charged toward the Nord Royal Guards.
The remaining orcs, except those held back by the militia captain, abandoned the fallen regular soldiers of the kingdom and charged towards the Nord Royal Guards, roaring as they rushed forward.
They watched as the massive orc, like a human tank, charged towards them, leading two other orcs.
The Nord Royal Guards showed no change in their expressions; some took down their throwing axes from their waists, while others drew their javelins from their backs.
The leading Nord royal guard waved his hand, signaling them to put away their throwing weapons, and then he took down the giant 1.3-meter-long axe that he was carrying on his back.
The other Nord royal guards immediately understood his meaning, so they put away their throwing weapons and took off the giant long axes they were carrying on their backs.
"Drink!"
After letting out a loud shout, the leading Nord Royal Guard gripped his massive long axe tightly and charged towards the orc giant who resembled a human tank, his face, half-hidden by his helmet, showing no fear.
It was as if the person in front of him wasn't a 2.3m tall orc, but a mad dog that needed to be slaughtered.
With a "bang," the fully armed Nord Royal Guard, who was only 1.85 meters tall, collided with the poorly equipped but 2.3-meter-tall orc.
Contrary to expectations, the Nord Royal Guards were not knocked away. Instead, after a series of loud thuds, they both stumbled back several steps along with the orc giant.
"You are the first human who wasn't knocked away by me, you are qualified to be my opponent!"
After taking several steps back, a hint of surprise flashed across the savage and simple face of the orc, and he slowly spoke.
"Likewise, likewise! Your charge reminds me of the Swadian knights, and my blood is boiling again!"
The Nord royal guard, who had been knocked back several steps, smiled slightly on his weathered face, and then swung his giant axe at the orc's large chest covered in animal skin.
"Clang!" The orc giant reacted quickly, immediately raising his broad axe to block the giant long axe's slash. The head of the giant long axe and the head of the broad axe rubbed together, creating a burst of intense sparks.
The Nord Royal Guard then changed his move, narrowly missing the orc's axe. Due to the significant height difference, he managed to slash hard at the orc's shoulder.
The sound of metal piercing flesh rang out, followed by a series of teeth-grinding metallic clangs.
"Awooo!" The big orc who had been slashed in the arm let out a howl as green blood gushed out of his arm as if it were free.
"Damn humans, take this!"
After feeling the pain, the big orc glared angrily, swung his right-hand axe, and chopped at the head of the Nord royal guard who was much shorter than him.
With such a difference in height and size, if the orc giant were to strike him with a furious blow, even a Nord royal guard wearing a Germanic war god helmet would likely lose half his life.
The Nord Royal Guard, seeing the axe aimed at his head, abandoned the massive axe stuck in the orc's bones with his chainmail-gloved hands. He then took the half-man-high Royal Guard Round Shield from his back and held it horizontally in front of his chest.
With an indescribable force, the Nord Royal Guard, caught off guard, felt a numbness in the web of his left hand and was unable to exert any strength.
However, the orc giant exposed more weaknesses during the gap in his furious attack, and the battle-hardened Nord Royal Guards would not let this weakness go unexplored!
With lightning speed, his right hand drew the one-handed combat axe from his waist and slashed at the orc's hand holding the axe, which was currently in a vulnerable position and had no strength left!
"what!"
Another wail came from the orc's mouth, it seemed that the bones in his hands were not as hard as the bones in his arms!
The Nord Royal Guard's one-handed battle axe, wielded with effortless grace, severed his right hand without any resistance.
If the giant axe stuck in his bone was causing his green blood to flow out like water, then now the green blood from his severed hand was flowing like a fountain that couldn't be stopped!
"Brute force is a good thing on the battlefield, but having only brute force without skill is a tragedy!"
Seeing the orc groaning in pain as he gripped his arm tightly, the Nord Royal Guard said something expressionlessly, then hung his one-handed battle axe back on his waist, took a javelin from his back, and threw it at the orc's massive head adorned with a horned helmet.
With a loud thud, the massive orc, who had been exuding an imposing aura, collapsed to the ground, his left hand, still bearing the massive axe embedded in his palm, clutching his severed hand.
A javelin was stuck in his four large mouths, which were covered with sharp fangs. The steel tip of the javelin protruded from his mouth, creating another hole in his terrifying maw.
Without any hesitation, the moment the orc fell, the Nord Royal Guard raised his Royal Guard Round Shield and charged forward again, striking the orc's head twice with a "bang".
"Whoo~"
After confirming that the orc giant had lost all signs of life, the Nord Royal Guard breathed a sigh of relief, though his left hand still felt numb.
The orc in front of him was just as troublesome as the Swadian knights on the plains, except that the Swadian knights' power came from their heavily armored warhorses, while the orc in front of him had power that came from himself.
If this big orc in front of him had the same skills as the Swadian knight, he would probably be the one falling.
Compared to the thrilling battle between the leading Nord royal guard and the giant orc, the other two ordinary orcs seemed utterly insignificant.
The Nord royal guards, facing off against two ordinary orcs, could be said to have handled the situation with ease, if not a sure thing.
Each time the two orcs brandished their axes and howled as they charged at the two Nord royal guards...
They would always be blocked by the royal guards' round shields raised in their left hands, and then a shield counter would hit them on the head, making them see stars and stagger back several steps.
Besides wielding the large shield in his left hand with unparalleled skill, he also wielded the one-handed battle axe in his right hand with dazzling skill, yet hesitated to strike the orcs, leaving the opposing orcs indecisive.
Soon, when they caught a glimpse of the orc giant falling to the ground and their own Nord royal guards covered in green blood, they finally decided to deliver the fatal blow to the orc before them.
A serious glint flashed in their eyes, and with another superb shield parry, they firmly blocked the orc's axe. Then, with their right hands gripping their one-handed battle axes, they swung them around and smashed them down on the orc's unprotected head.
"what?!"
"Ow!"
The two orcs, whose heads had been struck hard, were buzzing as if their heads had undergone a major shock.
In addition, the Nord Royal Guards had been constantly draining their strength, and finally, they could no longer hold on. As green blood gushed out after their heads were split open, they rolled their eyes and passed out completely.
Meanwhile, after the Nord Royal Guards had drawn the attention of most of the orcs, Liu Tianyu and the two remaining regular soldiers of the kingdom quickly helped up the six regular soldiers who had been knocked down.
Then, without hesitation, Liu Tianyu backstabbed the orc who was locked in a fierce battle with the militia captain, finally ending the arduous fight.
Chapter Five: The Emperor of Calradia
"Uh, you guys?"
After killing or severely wounding the five attacking orcs, Liu Tianyu looked at the ten neatly arranged, taciturn Nord royal guards in front of him and suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Your Excellency, please step back. I will handle the negotiations with them!"
Upon seeing that Liu Tianyu intended to personally negotiate with the Nord Royal Guards, the militia captain nearly jumped out of his skin and quickly blocked him behind him.
“Militia captain, there’s really no need for that. I’ve known them for a long time, so…”
Liu Tianyu glanced at the loyal militia captain and was about to explain something when one of the Nord Royal Guards walked over.
"Halt! Please step back a little, ideally within a sword's length!"
Upon seeing the Nord Royal Guard stride towards them, the militia captain quickly gripped his greatsword and shouted, even using his body to shield Liu Tianyu.
After all, he had witnessed the terrifying javelins of the Nord Royal Guards from the beginning, and he knew in his heart that he could not withstand those powerful yet incredibly accurate javelins.
Therefore, by protecting Liu Tianyu behind him, perhaps his chainmail and body could stop the javelins and throwing axes.
After hearing the militia captain say that it was a sword's distance, the Nord royal guard stopped two meters away.
Then, to the astonishment of the militia captain, he knelt on one knee, his right fist clenched tightly against his chest, his head slightly lowered.
He spoke in a voice that had weathered many storms, and his first words were heavyweight:
"Your Majesty, the Nord Royal Guard squad arrived late to your rescue. Please punish them!"
"Holy crap! What's going on? System, get out here right now! What's going on? Why is this Nord royal guard calling me Your Majesty instead of Lord or Viscount?"
Upon hearing the way the Nord Royal Guard addressed him, Liu Tianyu's mind went blank for a moment before he quickly activated the system in his mind.
[Ding! The soldiers provided to the host by the system are all based on the premise that the host has unified the world and become the sole legitimate ruler of the current world.]
Therefore, it is perfectly acceptable for the summoned soldiers to address you as "Your Majesty." In the eyes of the Nord Royal Guards, you are the Emperor of Calradia, and they will only assume that you summoned them to lead them in conquering new worlds.
The system responded instantly the moment Liu Tianyu called out, without the slightest delay.
Upon hearing the system's explanation, Liu Tianyu's lips twitched involuntarily. However, this was indeed quite convenient.
But they directly address me as Your Majesty. Are they planning to make me, a newcomer, the target of everyone's criticism?
"Can't you change it? After all, now you're making the summoned soldiers call me Your Majesty. Are you trying to kill me?"
"Could you please change this so that from now on, they should address me according to my status?"
Liu Tianyu mentally said a few more harsh words to the system.
[Ding, settings have been modified. From now on, summoned soldiers will only address you according to your current status. Since the Nord Royal Guards have already been summoned, this cannot be changed. Please correct this yourself.]
The system did not disappoint Liu Tianyu, making modifications directly. However, these modifications did not apply to the summoned Nord Royal Guards; they were no longer under its control.
Liu Tianyu mentally cursed the system, but on the surface he quickly laughed it off:
"Hahaha, what punishment? You've come at just the right time. If it weren't for your support, I might have already been cracked open by that burly orc."
