Chapter forty-eighth
Time is moving rapidly.
In fact, Caesar guessed a wrong point. In fact, Roy did not expect to divide his troops and arrange his troops in the cavalry. He had made it clear that the troops of thirty knights and a great wizard were strong enough to deal with the ambush of the orcs without any problems. Even if the black dragon returns to attack, he can retreat safely.
So, Roy chose to raid the Black Dragon's nest directly.
He had made up his mind to win back a city. Dividing troops was the best choice he could think of in the current situation. Now the best result was to blossom in two directions: the cavalry defeated the ambushed orcs, and led his people to slaughter the reserve force of the black dragon.
The orcs' old, weak, women and children can be regarded as more or less a threat. In such a mobile war, they rely on step by step and careful calculations. They must cut off the opponent's wings as much as possible.
Moreover, the nest where the black dragon lives will never be too far from the Stone Crow clan.
It seems that the dragon is at least a young man. Even if it is so sinister and vicious, the wealth of the nest is not as rich as that of the country, it is much richer than other dragons of the same year.
With this money, I can completely recover my previous losses.
Roy's wishful thinking was clamoring, but when he really rushed to the settlement of the Shiyao clan, he couldn't help but become angry.
The Shicao clan, which had first seen prosperity in the past, is now full of devastated appearances, as if it had been looted. There is nothing but the abandoned stone tools and the dilapidated flags that are still flying.
Obviously, the orcs had migrated and gave up on this place.
"Damn it!"
Even if Roy was well educated, he had a dark face at this time and couldn't help but curse.
His confidants looked around. After confirming that there was no ambush around him, they picked up a beating stone bowl from the pile of abandoned stone tools not far away, pinched the edge with their thumb and index finger, and gently wiped it.
"grown ups."
The confidant looked at the traces of dust on his hands and whispered: "They haven't been away for long, they have only left recently."
"That guy."
Roy clenched his fist, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out from his teeth word by word: "All this has been planned long ago, and it has expected this."
The orcs would never migrate for no reason. There is only one possibility. They received the order from the black dragon and knew that there would be dangers to stay here, so they left one step ahead of time.
When he rushed over with confidence, Roy almost vomited blood when he saw this scene. He lived for twenty-four years and always humiliated others, but now he felt the pain of suppressing intelligence for the first time.
The weird-looking black dragon has a meticulous mindset that is still above him.
"Sir, do we... still need to search for the black dragon's nest?"
Seeing that Roy's face became very bad, the confidant asked carefully.
"No."
Roy replied stiffly, with a gloomy face: "These dragons that regard wealth as life have always put their treasure first. Since even the orcs have left, their treasure must have been transferred long ago."
The confidant responded and retreated.
"but……"
He thought about it for a while in the sun, and finally changed his mind, and ordered: "Keep ten people here. Even if this place has turned into ruins, you must keep a good look for me. Maybe something will happen. Report it immediately if you find a problem."
"I understand." The soldiers spoke in unison.
Under the scorching sun, he felt that feeling of uneasiness again. He was stunned and turned over: "I know you are very tired, but now is not the time to rest. Come back with me, hurry!"
In the end, Roy led his troops to evacuate the place and returned in vain.
...
On the other side of the wilderness, the orcs had quietly touched the battlefield when the black dragon was in contact with the army.
"I can only sneak here, there are human soldiers patrolling in front of me."
Luna flapped her wings and floated in front of a group of orcs, her little face flushed, and her hair on her forehead was stuck together by sweat, which made her look quite embarrassed. It was obvious that she had done her best to travel, and she was very tired.
“There are at least hundreds of meters away.”
The orc commander Gal put his hand in front of him and gestured twice, then stared at the humans patrolling not far away: "These small men are very powerful, with tight defenses. The gap is very small during patrol, so it is almost impossible to sneak in."
"We have to do it as soon as possible, Caesar said that the other party could return at any time and must act immediately."
Xiao Luna urged, and was so anxious that she flew up and down the air: "He wants to hold that team of cavalry, and he may encounter danger. The human mage is very powerful."
"Since that's the case, I can only rush."
Gal held the steel warhammer in his hand tightly and slowly arched his body.
The strong orc who was nearly two meters was about to rush forward when the old wizard in a robe was pressed down: "Don't worry, I'll do it."
The old wizard Sf signaled Gal to keep calm, and then smiled kindly at the Forest Fairy: "Little guy, it seems that Caesar needs your help. Your mission here has been completed, just leave the rest to the orcs."
"OK!"
Now is not the time to be polite. After hearing what he said, Luna responded and immediately turned around and left, flapping her wings and turning back.
At the same time, Sf also gently raised the bone staff that he had been with him. The staff that was covered with cracks and seemed to be about to break in the next second, finally began to play its true role, and the magical aura ripples rippled.
"Like a shadow."
The reason why the casters are so noble in Eladia is that their incredible abilities can accomplish unimaginable feats that ordinary creatures can use as strategic weapons.
Just like now.
Under the wonderful effect of SF's magic, all the orcs present began to fade, and their breathing gradually merged with the air and entered an invisible state.
Even the clanging sound of the collision of their armor was completely covered by magic.
"Go, kids, remember your goals." Sff pointed in front of his staff.
The air beside him began to flow, the wind whistled through his ears, and it was obvious that the orc warriors had already begun to act.
They kept quiet and silent, sneaking into the human camp step by step.
However, their enemies were astonishingly high in military literacy - in fact, this army was the most important tool used by the Earl of Brando to realize their ambitions. If the number was not considered, they would probably be even more powerful than the Northern Alliance back then, and they could be called the elite among the elite.
In fact, this time the Earl of Brando sent them out, just for regular daily training, but unexpectedly, they encountered a tough guy and collided with the same powerful black dragon.
Although the body can be hidden and sound can be concealed, the strange air flow and the unique odors on orcs cannot be erased.
This powerful army relied on such details to discover the orcs one step ahead of their goal.
"The enemy attacks, there is a spellcaster on the other side!"
With a long roar, in the second half of the soldiers' roar, the sound of long swords being unsheathed and crossbows being pulled all the time.
"kill!"
Just the next second when the human alarm sounded, Gal also roared and jumped out directly. The steel warhammer drilled through the breastplate of the soldier closest to him.
"For the Stone Crow Clan!" Orc warriors appeared from the air and let out beastly roars.
At the same time, the clear sky suddenly dark clouds gathered.
Lightning Storm!
