280. the 280th chapter draws the back arrow

Although the "Sora Post" is called a post, it can actually serve as a "simple fortress". Relying on city walls and towers, it can easily deal with small-scale invaders.

As a private soldier of the Russiflon family, Hanks, who is absolutely loyal to the duke, naturally would not have any intimacy in the construction of the post: the city wall made of solid wood is four meters high, the entire camp is square, with two front and back east-west sides: The gate, a twelve-meter-high tower, four eight-meter-high sentry towers. The guard post was dug up around the guard post. Although there was no moat, if an orc stood below to attack, the city wall with a drop of six meters was enough for them to eat. All your hard work.

Commander Hanks is very confident in the defense of this post, and the enemy he is going to deal with is an orc known for being a "brainless" person, so he doesn't take these green-skinned barbarians seriously. So at this time, He was not too nervous when he saw the retreating wolf cavalry team...

However, this "abnormality" still made him secretly alert: According to common sense, orcs will not "harass" at all. Their fighting style is like a silly man who rushes up directly. If you can beat it, you can fight it. If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. Running, never mind any tactics.

"What do these guys want to do?"

Hanks felt that he seemed to be thinking too much. Judging from the orcs' IQ, it was probably because the image of this post was too tall, which scared them away?

"Let Luther lead people to watch the tower, and the rest will be lifted."

He walked back to the command room calmly and waved, "Everyone eat something good tonight, so don't worry about your brothers."

The soldiers rushed out happily, while Hanks sat at his desk, picked up a quill to report to Angma today, but the quill had just written "December 23", The soldiers outside returned.

"What's up?"

"Commander, emergency letter."

Hanks took the note curled because he tied to the legs of the pigeon, and just glanced at it and frowned: "All the army was wiped out? How is this possible?!"

He was just receiving the avalanche message at this time and suddenly became a little bored... He knew very well what Roddy's troops mean: in such a border area where killing and burying, no "power" can compare to real swords and guns. "Martial power" is easy to talk about. If it were in the past, he might not have cared about the 100 soldiers supported by Roddy, but if the orcs always harass them like this...

He turned his head and asked in a serious tone: "When will the fastest one of the lords who support here arrive?"

"Commander, the nearest one should be Baron Greenton, who wrote to him before saying that he might arrive on January 10."

"That's seventeen days left."

Hanks secretly cried in his heart, "Enhance your guard, everyone sleeps with weapons."

He gave the order decisively, and couldn't help but feel a little worried: There should be no accident in these seventeen days, right?

However, everything that happened in the next few days still made him feel an unspeakable chill in his heart...

On December 24, the second reconnaissance team that was out patrolling was wiped out.

On December 25, the Fourth Squad was attacked and three people were killed.

On December 26, Hanks was under pressure to narrow the scope of the scout's reconnaissance, but the orc attack continued. The soldiers who died four people again began to become depressed, and some people were even afraid of attendance.

On December 31, the logistics troops, which were supposed to arrive on the day, lost their news for three days, which made Hanks look even more ugly... He finally sent four teams to investigate together, but the result was... it was on the transportation route of the baggage

Carriages swept away by the street and blood everywhere were found.

There were no bodies at the scene.

Hanks was filled with anger, but in the face of such wreckage, he could only swallow his anger-everyone understood... For orcs, there was no difference between human corpses and animal corpses. In the cold winter of food scarcity,

All fresh meat can fill your stomach.

These orcs have already begun to blatantly invade Karen's territory!

Although he was willing to take revenge, the successive events caused morale to fall to the bottom. As the supreme commander, Hanks understood very well... he had to make a decision.

Between "defending the city" and "taking the initiative", he resolutely chose the latter - because Hanks understood that if he continued to be so cowardly, the complete loss of morale and confidence would be much more terrible than the death of a few people

.

"Get the troops and be ready for battle!"

On the evening of December 31, Sora sentry entered the highest state of preparation.

*******

In the orc camp twenty kilometers away, Zoro was squinting his eyes and looking at a human soldier covered in blood in front of him, and asked in a calm tone: "Don't think that the things you made up casually can hide from me and lie in front of me.

, definitely not a wise choice.”

Looking at a guy with green skin and fangs speaking such an organized Bringa language, the captured soldier was also a little confused. There were several wounds on his body, and the severe pain made his body twitch. It was obvious that there was

The air intake is not exhausted.

"I...I won't say..."

"If you don't say it, naturally someone will say it."

Zoro's expression did not change at all. He just reached out to pick up his battle axe, and smashed the man's head with a "bang" sound - plasma and brain splattered on his face, the man with hatred

The witch doctor stretched out his tongue and licked it, and his eyes turned fiercely to his subordinates: "Take the next one here."

The dead humans were naturally treated as "food rations" by the orcs, but Zoro, like his mentor, had a human habit of behavior, had no interest in "human flesh", and did not even like the barbaric habits of his subordinates.

But as the leader of this exiled tribe, he knew very well... he actually had no way out.

Although robbing this batch of logistics supplies alleviated the crisis of food shortage in the camp, if you want to survive this winter, it is far from enough to rely on these food alone.

So all his next decisions were to fight for his own lives and for the lives of all the tribes.

And...he has to win!

"If there is no chance, you have to create opportunities yourself."

Zoro held the hammer in his hand tightly, silently recalling the words Sarota taught him. When he looked up at the second person who was dragged in front of him, he had not yet asked a question, but found that the other party had already started to curse.

:

"Bah! Dog god orc! I'll kill me--"

"Bang!"

Zoro directly fulfilled the other party, swung the huge battle axe out, and the terrible force instantly smashed the other party's upper body into a pile of splashed pieces. The corpse, like a train, fell to the ground "crackling" and let the next one

It was a pity for the orcs to watch.

Then, Zoro held up the battle axe and silently chanted the spell. After a dark red light flashed suddenly, it smashed the battle axe into the ground beside him!

"boom…"

The unprecedented tremor made the entire camp quiet instantly. The soldiers of the tribe stopped and then looked at the omnipotent young witch doctor with a passionate face.

"Tomorrow, we will kill all humans!"

"kill!"

The wolf cavalry in simple armor, the orc infantry held up their weapons and roared, and their shouts combined, like a hungry beast that was awakened...

However, these manic orcs did not know that a few black crows were hovering above their heads.

*******

"Happy New Year!"

Roddy held up the water bag and shouted to the soldiers around him in front of the bonfire: "Eat with your stomach open, don't be polite to anyone!"

"good--"

The soldiers around were thrilled to raise all kinds of containers. Although they were drinking water, the atmosphere finally made them feel warm.

Today is December 31. After the carriage was rotated into sled boards, the entire army's travel speed suddenly increased by more than three times. The Sola post, which was originally expected to arrive on January 13, was already in front of us at this time.



At this time, the entire team was in a woods seven kilometers away from Sora's post. It was not impossible to get there before dark. Roddy did this obviously to hide his whereabouts.

"Tomorrow, I will send a team to investigate the situation, and the team will stay here now."

"I understand what you mean... I'm going to do it without triggering it, waiting for an opportunity to move, we are now a hidden arrow," Soderol has been very careful in discussing strategies and tactics with Roddy during this period. At this time, he is very good at analyzing it: "These days

The news is blocked, I don’t know how many nobles can help here-but I guess I don’t expect them anymore.”

"Never put hope on others."

Roddy shook her head and picked up a bunch of roasted crispy rabbit meat: "Our army is not large in number. Speaking of which, it actually doesn't work much. You said we are hidden arrows, but this is not wrong.

--Because of weak strength, you have to fire the hidden arrow, and the hidden arrow... often only has one chance."

“Once we are exposed, it’s like going to all the advantages.”

This sentence made Soderer think: "So...the hidden arrow must be fatal."

Roddy was about to say something, but Akasha, who came over from the other side of the camp, interrupted their conversation - the priest's face was slightly serious, because behind her were two originally affiliated with the "Sacred Roses"

priest.

"Ika, Mason, thank you for the hard work in the past few days."

Having stood up and greeted these two "professional" pastors, Roddy went straight to the topic and said, "I know you may still have some prejudice against Akasha, but... I need to say something to you very seriously now

:The next enemy is the undead, the mortal enemy of mankind.”

"Is this reason enough to make you fight side by side without grudges?"

The two priests looked at each other, and although they nodded at the same time, they were obviously a little reluctant. Roddy smiled and reached out to take out four or five scrolls from his bag by the bonfire and handed them to the other party: "If there is an emergency, give it to me."

Use it yourself.”

This is the BUFF scroll Roddy specially asked for from Benjamin before leaving. Ika and Mason were obviously very interested in this "high-end product". After a series of guarantees, they left happily. Roddy looked at their backs and sighed.

He sighed at Soderol, "I'm not afraid of my god's opponents, but I'm afraid of my teammates. These two guys are big and Carter can't handle it, so I have to remind them in person to remember."

"I'm not a pig."

Akasha heard his words and sat aside with a smile. Seeing that Roddy had no reaction, she reached out to pick up a slightly smaller gray scroll and said to him like a treasure: "Roddy, tell you a secret

…”

"Yeah?" Roddy turned his head.

"I can open it..."
Chapter completed!
