15. Chapter 15 The Scout's Counterattack IV
As the sun was about to set, the quarconian Dick put the things Roddy needed into more than a dozen packages and handed them to him panting. This time, he did not look like asking for bribes at all, but instead had more eyes.
Some unspeakable respect.
"There are all the things."
Roddy took the package, nodded, and then ordered the soldiers who had already changed into dark black clothes and black swords behind him--
“Calculate the equipment!”
The battle moment has finally arrived, but at this moment, there is no sign of confusion and tension on the faces of these scouts, because the day of training and explanation has already made them reach the best psychological state - "Orcs are not invincible"
The simple fixed pattern has been instilled into their minds by Roddy, and the greatest fear of "unknown" has disappeared. They are now facing a group of enemies who have already understood almost all their weaknesses.
So at this moment, the morale of this team has been unprecedentedly high, and everyone has even developed strong confidence in the upcoming battle.
Each person was equipped with a short bow and carried 6 arrows. He carried the package that Roddy specifically asked to carry. The long sword was in place and the armor was tightly tied. The 14 scouts who were ready to go turned over and rode their horses, facing the sunset slowly falling into the horizon.
Going far away.
Before leaving, everyone had a full meal. When they left Nolan Village, the villagers seemed to notice the difference between these soldiers and the usual ones. They looked at the dust and smoke in the distance and remained silent.
"Is this really OK?"
Carter didn't really believe that this attack could be as sure as Roddy said. He met the orcs twice, although he won the battle, but he would not have no idea about the strength of these guys. These young people around him were really
If you encounter it, it is probably only possible to be slaughtered one side. Although Roddy has expressed the weaknesses of many orcs, it is just a theory after all.
"Why not?"
Roddy looked at the sun gradually disappearing in the distance on the horse's back and asked, holding the reins with one hand and rubbing the hilt of the scimitar with the other, "Now is not the time to consider whether he can defeat the other party,
Because we have to believe that we can definitely defeat this battle in order to continue.”
The last ray of light in the sky disappeared.
The thirty kilometers ran quickly. When night fell, the horses gradually slowed down. Finally, under Roddy's order, all the soldiers began to give up the horses and instead walked forward on foot.
The wind on the grassland still had a faint fresh smell. The body was low and crossed a low grass slope. Only the sound of the whimpering wind could be heard in my ears. I looked at the 300 meters away, and the light of the bonfire was shining.
The orc camp came into view.
All the scouts lay on the other end of the grass slope, looking at the orc camp from a distance, with a serious expression - most of them looked at Roddy, wondering how the temporary commander was preparing to attack.
As the leader, Roddy licked his index finger, raised it and measured the wind direction, and then led the group of people to slowly circumn the downward wind vent. During this period, all the soldiers took out their short bows and put arrows on, ready to deal with the sudden outbreak at any time.
Post the situation... Everyone is nervous at this moment. No matter how much Roddy said about the weaknesses and flaws of the orcs, he can be completely calm when he sees those guys who are more than two meters tall and thicker than their legs.
, after all, it's just a few.
Roddy didn't expect them to fight bravely, but his only request now was to forbidden any unnecessary movements - as he slowly approached the orc camp, the young scouts could even hear the orcs talking loudly.
Walking in the front is Roddy, and in the middle is Ruger who conveys the orders as support and orders. The group behind Carter's Temple had a bit of "forbidden orders" due to the morning training.
Although this camp is simple, there is also a wooden sentry tower. At this time, there is a sentry dozing on it. However, it was dark, and the sentry had no idea about more than a dozen human scouts who were at a disadvantage a hundred meters away.
find.
Or, he had never thought about the possibility of being attacked by humans.
Among all, only Roddy understood that orcs' vision is much worse than humans at night - this is the experience that Roddy has successfully summarized countless night attacks on orcs.
The camp in front of them dug a ravine for preventing the horses from charging around them. Because the orc empire has poor resources, the only wood is used to build a whistle tower, so they only have the strength to use this easiest way.
As a defensive measure... and this has caused a considerable disadvantage: when someone hides in these gullies in the darkness, even the sentry standing on the sentry tower cannot detect it at all.
For Roddy, the key to this battle is not whether the scouts behind him can fight bravely, but whether his plan can be implemented smoothly - confirming that the sentry's eyes are facing the other side, Roddy leads the scouts.
He quietly jumped into these trenches against the grass. After confirming that everyone was in place, he left a "standby" order, and then he walked silently like a ghost.
The essence of the profession of "Ranger" lies in its strength when walking alone - it has the ability to hide similar to an assassin and has strong long-range sniper ability. Therefore, in "Riding of the Earth", the Ranger can often be better than the Assassin on the battlefield of complex terrain.
Can play a bigger and more active role.
How much strength can Roddy, who is only level 2, exerts? For a guy who can pass through countless games to the highest difficulty and pass the entire process without any damage, this is the first time he takes the initiative to attack after coming to this world.
The figure quietly passed by in the shadows. When he came to the edge of the tent that was only fifteen meters away from the wardrobe, Roddy was already clear enough about the orc on it. At this time, he seemed to be with
The grass was integrated into one, the arm armor and weapons had long been blackened with fire and no longer reflected. They lay on the ground motionless, like a stone.
Then...it's now.
The sentry on the sentry yawned, and Roddy immediately took advantage of the brief seconds to dodge below the sentry - this distance was a place that the sentry could not find, but on the other hand, in the camp
But the orcs could easily notice this uninvited guest-but everything was still quiet. The orcs who were walking by in the camp did not notice it, and Roddy's figure stood completely in the shadow of the tent and the whistle, because the only one
The light source comes from the bonfire in the center of the camp, so he can easily view the entire camp structure without being discovered by anyone.
Tent, beast bars, simple whistle towers, these are the only three types of buildings in this camp. After rejudging the number of orcs, Roddy estimated that the orcs in the camp may be around twenty-five people at this moment - remember the entire building layout
It took about five minutes to patrol the troop ratio and route. After completing all the preparations, he immediately returned to the trench not far away at a very fast speed without making any movement.
Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle. This sentence has been said for many years, but Roddy clearly understood its importance. After taking the risky survey, he had already formulated a suitable plan in his mind to carry out the next battle.
When Roddy reappeared beside the scouts, the silent but rapid and unusual movements scared the young men, and Ruger was shocked. He naturally understood what Roddy's ability meant.
It made him feel more at ease - at least the greater the ability, the higher the chance of success of this battle.
“Take out the parcel.”
Roddy made a silent gesture, and Ruger was the first to react. Carter and the remaining soldiers then turned out the packages. Then they discovered that they were some arrows covered with fuel, flint and flaming velvet used for ignition.
Everyone got a set.
"Second team, come with me, the first team is on standby."
Roddy whispered that he missed the time when he had communicated with his comrades by relying solely on tactical gestures, but it was obvious that the people in front of him did not have that kind of tactical qualities at all. He called a team captain Ruger, and he added: "Let me,"
Each team prepares three rockets. Once you hear a scream in the camp, ignite it immediately, and then shoot the tents connected to the west. After doing this, walk sixty meters west along the trenches.
When I saw me appearing at the wardrobe, I rushed into the camp directly. Do you understand?"
Ruger immediately understood Roddy's tactical intentions and nodded seriously to accept the order.
"Carter, bring the people from the second team with me."
Roddy looked up at the not-so-bright moonlight above her head, held her horn bow tightly, and walked along the trench toward the east side.
When the second team seven scouts followed Roddy to the east side of the camp, everything was still silent. However, the rapid heartbeat of the soldiers made their foreheads slightly sweaty, and the palms holding the short bow were a little wet and adrenaline.
The surge caused a slight tremor in fingertips - these phenomena were inevitable, and Roddy would not say much. Because even himself, the same was true when he first ambushed the orc.
Call all the scouts of the second team to him, Roddy whispered to arrange the next task-"There are three orcs on the regular patrol in the camp, plus four of the mail towers in total. We need to shoot them together and then
Immediately climb the sentry to attract firepower from a high place and try to shoot the opponent. Ruger will support us later and just listen to my orders when they rush into the camp."
His eyes swept over the young men and Carter beside him one by one, then pointed to the small round shields he had carried as spare equipment and said, "After climbing the sentry tower, one person covers the other person's arrows, don't let yourself be the target of the other party,
That's all I have to say, do you understand?"
The bright eyes in the darkness were a little nervous and expectant. Seeing everyone nodding, Roddy picked up the horn bow and signaled everyone to take the arrows-the patrolling orcs would pass by the trench in a few minutes, and what they were going to do
