There is no need to mention the five hundred guards. In addition, Roy also recruited seven professional mercenaries. After the news of the Black Dragon was spread, a large group of adventurers and rangers joined the camp of the young nobles, allowing Roy's troops to restore as many as a thousand people.

And recently, the young nobles, in the name of the Count, collected a large number of ordnances in Kakiling to supplement their consumption.

Although the bed crossbow was destroyed and the great wizard Anthony left them, Roy's team was still strong.

According to reliable intelligence analysis, there are less than 300 Stone Crow tribe under the Black Dragon, and there are very few real warriors. After the continuous crushing of war, only about 50 people were left, and most of the rest were women and young children.

These female orcs rely on their strength and physique. Perhaps they are okay to rob ordinary travelers in normal times, but when it comes to head-on combat, they are definitely not opponents of regular troops.

No matter what, Roy Brando does not allow the Black Dragon to escape like this. The Five-Colored Dragons are all evil seeds who hold extreme revenge and will revenge. If they give it a breath and let it gather its strength again, it will not only harm itself in the future. I am afraid that the entire Brando family will live under this cloud.

Since his defeat in the last battle, after several days of rest, his troops have been continuously replenished, and have recovered their combat capabilities and are ready to go.

But this ambush, no mercenaries or adventurers participated.

Roy was worried that these untrained guys would not be able to do such a job, so he put all the mobs in the River Valley camp, and his guards were in charge of the entire ambush.

The one who got the command was Katus. He only made one gesture and no other communication was needed. The soldiers immediately divided into five teams and entered the ambush from different directions.

The soldiers showed competent tactical qualities, and soon everyone was able to take their seats silently and wait quietly.

They covered their bodies with a cloak woven by grass leaves. Although this thing is rough and ugly, it is obviously a bad product made, it can play a hidden role in visual effects and is crucial in ambush.

Only when everyone was in place did Katus carefully push away the bushes and look at the path from a higher position.

--bring it on.

Soon, a huge and irregular block shadow swept across the woodland, and wherever it passed, Katus raised his head cautiously and peeked at its figure from the shade of the tree.

The first thing that came into view was a large black scale that spread to its long tail. It was inverted triangle-shaped, with huge membrane wings that were far wider than other dragons. Its entangled and powerful muscles, and the airflow passed through the surface of the wings to produce a rumble.

The black dragon lingers above his head.

It is investigating.

Sweat stains gradually oozed out of Katus' forehead and his heartbeat accelerated, which made these elite soldiers so nervous, which shows how much pressure the black dragon brought to them.

The commander slowly stretched his hand behind his back and spread his five fingers, indicating that the soldiers should not act rashly. Without the caster and the crossbow, it would be difficult for them to cause damage to the black dragon as soon as possible. It would be better to wait for the orcs to arrive first and use the crossbow to strangle the orcs from a distance. First, catch the black dragon's relatives off guard, and then turn around to deal with the deity.

In case of detection, Katus forced himself to stop peeping at the huge dragon, but stared at the end of the path, motionless like a stone sculpture, and completely calmed down.

Two minutes later, the orc's figure gradually came into view.

The headlines were those strong orc warriors wearing heavy armor. They looked around and seemed to be responsible for the warning and enlightenment. After these armed orcs, there were female orcs flocking around, and they were all in a circle.

And their spellcasters walked in the middle with those young and weak children.

The orcs were not slow, and the blurred figures in their sight quickly became clear within minutes.

"These orcs did not transfer in batches, which is great. This can maximize the lethality of hand-hand crossbows and arrows. If they can be beaten up all of them in one go, that would be great." Katus thought.

As he thought, the black dragon had turned around and slowly landed in the distance, causing the orc tribe to stop. Katus saw the orc's lips opening and closing, as if he was talking to the black dragon.

Has it been discovered?

The temporary commander's heart trembled, cold sweat flowed into the armor along his neck, and the black dragon's behavior was strange!

However, he believed in his compatriots' military literacy very much. He hid in the dense bushes and sprayed his body with the powder of the odor hidden by the Northern Expedition countries. Even if animals walked by, they would not be able to find them.

Katus fell into hesitation.

The distance is a bit far, and it is obviously not worth the effort they have to take action now. They need to charge for nearly two hundred meters before the orcs can enter the strike range of crossbows and arrows. Even if their physique is much stronger than ordinary people, it will take at least eighteen seconds in full armed state.

This time seems short, but it is enough for the orcs to react with the black dragon.

After thinking about it, Katus decided to wait a little longer and let the other party go as much as possible. If it really doesn't work, it will happen again.

Fortunately, the Black Dragon just said a few words and then flapped its wings and flew into the sky again, and the orc tribe began to move its pace again. Their conversation seemed to have nothing to do with this matter.

The interim commander breathed a sigh of relief.

It's getting closer, closer.

Katus slows down his breathing rhythm. The more he is, the more calm he needs to be, and he cannot help but be impatient. He must accurately grasp the distance and kill the opponent as much as possible without leaving enough space.

Fifty meters.

Thirty meters.

Ten meters.

Katus's right hand, which was placed behind him, slowly clenched into a fist, signaling the soldiers to prepare for attack. Everyone raised their breath and clenched the crossbow.

However, at this moment, just before Katus was about to order a move.

The black dragon, who had been lingering at a high altitude, seemed to have no idea of ​​the ambush circle, suddenly moved. It quickly adjusted its body, shifted its center of gravity toward its head, dived in an instant, and passed a vertical height of more than 50 meters in two seconds, reaching a dangerous distance.

Immediately afterwards, Caesar Ortorunso took a deep breath.

flame!

Accompanied by the roar of the dragon, violent flames swept across the earth, sweeping across the hidden ambush positions of all soldiers, and the entire river forest was ignited.

They were found!

The black dragon's flames were not only breathing, but also the horn of the attack. After seeing this scene, orc warriors wearing heavy armor quickly roared and charged under the leadership of commander Gal, and intercepted every soldier who had finally escaped from the sea of ​​fire.

"Arrange the array and fight!"

In the skylight, Katus roared hoarsely and tried his best to stabilize the combat array. However, the effect was worrying, and was completely covered by the roar of the black dragon and the roar of the orcs.
Chapter completed!
