"Chief, us orcs found a hole in barrier to big village!"
"The other areas too, we can go and fight more monsters and take over the weak areas, we can fight stronger monsters, we can become strong and get back the big village!"
"We can take the human once again, we can taste their flesh and take their women, come, boss, let's go, we can take this slave too!"
Those were the words the orc that had arrived inside the chief's hut had said before his head was cut off by Reign.
The chief was even more scared of Reign now as he was unable to even see how Reign had struck the orc before his head was suddenly cut off from his body.
"Tch, I acted a bit hastily there." Reign said with slight frustration as he stared at the headless body of the orc that had fallen down to the ground.
"He did mention that 'they' have found a hole, so there should be a group of them, right, chief?" Reign asked the chief with a smile on his face as the latter nodded hastily.
Thanks to him being stronger, and the orcs also being of a relatively high level, Reign was able to understand everything they said. It was of course thanks to the system that pretty much translated everything that other races said and allowed Reign to understand them.
Reign and the chief exited the hut, and upon noticing a human leading the way, the orcs that had just returned to their base had confused expressions on their faces.
That all changed when Reign released some of his aura, making all of them kneel and sweat profusely thanks to the incredible suppression his aura had on them.
"The holes in the barriers, show them to me," Reign told the orcs who nodded fearfully before sealing his aura back to his body and allowing them to breathe normally.
The orcs looked at him like he was a monster and quickly made their way out of the base, leading Reign and the chief toward the holes they had found.
Upon arriving at the places, Reign was suddenly confused as he couldn't see anything out of place.
"So, where is the hole exactly?" Reign asked the orcs who looked at him weirdly.
They pointed right in front of them, where the town of Doncaster was, but Reign was still unable to notice anything out of place.
"Are you guys messing with me?" Reign asked them calmly and once again released a portion of his aura, only for the orcs to shake their heads and swear that the hole was right in front of them.
'Shit.' Reign thought to himself as he quickly understood what was happening.
Since he and the other players were never punished for going to other areas, the barriers that were put in place there were simply invisible to them, which meant that only monsters could see them.
That was a problem since it meant that Reign and the others would have absolutely no way of knowing where more powerful monsters could attack Doncaster from. Usually, Reign wouldn't worry so much as there were no monsters powerful enough to endanger the town nearby.
The players now were on average low-leveled Tier II beings, with a lot of them also being Tier III, which meant that only monsters from the mountain and other faraway areas could do anything to them, but the enemies they were facing could control monsters and aim them at Doncaster.
With how the enemy organization usually did things, they had definitely found out about this and Reign suspected that some of the monsters that had come close to the town were indeed sent by them.
The enemy had the ability to not only take control over monsters but even store them in a special kind of dimension. The monsters they would take out would not be penalized as they were counted as a part of the player, but that was only a small portion of their strength as the enemy was only dangerous when they were able to control a large number of monsters.
Hell, they didn't even need to control all of them, as it would be enough for them to only control the leaders of a group and have them go to Doncaster, the other monsters would simply follow them.
The barriers and penalty being lifted also meant that other monsters could now go to the higher-leveled areas and fight powerful monsters before fleeing back to their base, slowly increasing their own strength.
It was a big deal that could change everything if Reign and the others weren't prepared for it, so there was a big need for him to tell the news to everyone else.
Reign suddenly stared at the orcs before telling them to wait for him there. If they were to move a step from the area, he promised to go to their base and kill everyone that was present.
The orcs knew that someone as powerful as him could easily do that, and they simply gulped in fear and nodded at him before sitting down on the ground and waiting.
Reign made his way back to Doncaster and entered his building, telling Greenie what he had found out. He told Greenie to get multiple groups of players and go to where he left the orcs.
They were to put pillars on each side of the hole so that everyone knew where they were located, he also told Greenie to start making outposts right in front of the holes and to always have a couple of players there, guarding the holes.
The outposts would be outfitted with a loud alarm that could easily be heard throughout the entire area, and the players were to sound the alarm if any large groups of monsters appeared.
If there was no such thing, but the players that were acting as guards suspected something was wrong, there was a second alarm that they could activate. The alarm wasn't loud and it would actually notify the guild that there was something suspicious going on, after which they could send a team or two in order to check things out, and they would also notify Greenie and the top teams of the territory.
Greenie simply nodded at Reign and told him that it would be done before Reign made his way back to the orcs.
He told them that some people would come and that they were to show them all the holes before leaving the area with the chief.
Only minutes after his departure, while the orcs were getting a bit restless and didn't know whether to leave or continue waiting, Greenie arrived with a couple of players.
Upon seeing Greenie and the players and sensing just how powerful each of them was, the orcs were scared senseless and quickly showed where the hole was before taking Greenie and the others to the other holes as well.
Meanwhile, Reign was making rounds around the other areas with the chief and had told him to show him every single hole in the barrier he could see. He was looking at the barriers that separated the areas next to the territory from the higher-leveled ones and wanted to know just how many of them were present.
He found out that each area had anywhere from 3 to 10 holes, a number that was neither small nor big.
'It seems like it's only a matter of time before the barriers and penalties are completely removed, if that happens, then the enemy can attack us from any direction they want to.' Reign thought as he let the chief go, telling him that his entire tribe of orcs was now under his rule and that they were not to fight against any humans, and that no human would attack them in turn, those that broke the rule would be killed on the spot.
They were the only tribe of orcs other than Magokur and his men, so there was no chance that players would run into other orcs that were not friendly and confuse them with these guys.
Of course, there was always the possibility that some orcs would not listen, and for those, Reign had some way of forcing them to submit to him and the others.
He would create a building near the orc base which would house a couple of players, each being a Tier I being.
Their strength would be enough to keep the orcs in check, and the players were also going to be warned not to trust any orcs and that even though they were not to attack them, they should be careful around them in case any decided to break the rule and try to kill them.
Since Magokur and his men had been present in the territory for quite some time now, it was nothing new for the players to work with orcs, but not the same could be said for these orcs as they had been fighting against the players for quite some time and many of them had died as a result of that.
