The golden wasteland is adjacent to the Kingdom of Thorne to the south, the Red Mountains to the east, the dry sand sea to the west, and the ever-cold tundra to the north. [] The entire wasteland is very vast in area, comparable to the Kingdom of Thorne.
The main living area of the orcs.
Although the total number of orcs is quite large, they do not live in fixed cities like humans. The vast majority of orcs live an elusive nomadic life, driving their livestock to live in pursuit of water and grass in the golden wasteland.
So even if you come to the golden wasteland, it is not easy to find the orcs.
In the past, the kingdom had sent troops into the Golden Wasteland to exterminate the orcs, but the commanders soon discovered that finding the orcs in this vast land was even more difficult than defeating these powerful guys. Although a large number of scouts were sent to
They looked for traces of the orcs, but could not find these green-skinned monsters at all. On the contrary, as the army penetrated deeper into the golden wasteland, the logistics supply line gradually became longer and longer, and later they were attacked by the orcs.
The human army that was attacked on the supply line soon fell into a dilemma of lack of food, and for humans, there was nothing to eat in the golden wasteland. So the army of tens of thousands had to withdraw to the human kingdom, and along the way
They were also often harassed by orcs who appeared from nowhere, causing heavy losses.
This operation to exterminate the orcs ended in a disastrous failure. The human army failed to find even a single orc tribe, but suffered heavy losses due to hunger, disease, attacks by monsters, and harassment by the orcs. There were actually 20,000 elite warriors who remained forever.
On the golden wasteland.
The failed expedition caused drastic changes in the power level of the Kingdom of Thorne at that time. The Minister of Military Affairs was dismissed at that time, and Vattel took office at that time. Because of this heavy loss, the kingdom was unable to even compete in the golden kingdom for a long time.
Troops were stationed on the edge of the wasteland. It was precisely because of this that the orcs gradually moved to live closer to Kent.
These guys were brutal and aggressive. They soon discovered that the humans in the south were rich and weak, and even themselves were delicious food. As a result, more and more orcs invaded Kent County and other places, becoming a nightmare for the locals.
, and also disturbed the peace in these places.
The reason why Watter ordered Roger to exterminate the orcs was because he knew that these ferocious green-skinned monsters were difficult to deal with. Not to mention finding them was an almost impossible task, even if Roger was lucky enough to encounter an orc tribe.
, I’m afraid it was himself who was eliminated instead of the orcs.
However, Vatel made the wrong calculation again this time. It may be very difficult for others to find orcs, but this will not be difficult for Roger, who has a hippogryph demon pet.
After eliminating Edward and his men, Roger collected a lot of soul power. In addition to using this soul power to train more soldiers, the rest was used by Roger to cultivate hippogryphs.
Now there are nearly thirty hippogryphs in the training ground. Roger sends these pets to fly in the sky in shifts day and night. They can easily grasp any disturbance within a radius of two hundred miles. With these pets, they are comparable to human reconnaissance.
Using the machine's familiar, Roger easily found the target he was looking for.
The hippogryph quickly sent back a message that a group of orcs were heading north less than a hundred miles away from Roger. These guys brought a lot of things with them, and they had obviously just returned from plundering from the south, and the harvest was very good.
Of course, Roger would not let go of these guys who were burning, killing and looting in his own territory. He quickly got in front of the orcs and set an ambush on their only way. The orcs moved very fast, and ordinary humans
There is no way for the infantry to get in front of them and set up an ambush.
But for Roger, who had the Nightmare Beast on his behalf, it was easy to do this. Under the calculation, those unsuspecting orcs didn't even have a chance to fight back. Most of the orcs were suddenly shot by arrows.
After getting rid of them, a few who were lucky enough to escape the deadly rain of arrows had to face soldiers dozens of times their size.
The orcs are indeed a stoic race. Even in such a hopeless battle, the vast majority of the orcs choose to fight to the death. They roar and wave various weapons in their hands, hoping to eliminate a few more enemies before they die.
However, what surprised the orcs was that these human soldiers were not as weak and timid as the rest of their kind. Even in the face of the orcs who were determined to fight, the human soldiers rushed forward without hesitation.
Although these soldiers are slightly weaker than the orcs, under Roger's command, they cooperate very well. Often several soldiers join forces to deal with an orc. The iron spear soldiers use their iron spears to control the orcs, and the long sword warriors use their iron spears to control the orcs.
Attack the orcs from all directions at the right opportunity.
The soldiers pay great attention to protecting each other. Every time the orcs plan to attack one of their soldiers, several other people will attack at the same time to contain the orcs' attack, so that they cannot cause effective damage to the enemy. With this tacit understanding of the human soldiers
With this fighting style, the orcs had no place to put their brute strength to use, and finally fell unwillingly in front of humans.
Every orc faced the same situation, so that the combat power they had always been proud of had no room to display. They were quickly killed one by one by human soldiers. But none of Roger's soldiers were there.
Of those who died in battle, only a few suffered minor injuries, which had little impact on their combat effectiveness.
In this one-sided battle situation, two particularly timid orcs finally collapsed. They threw down their crude weapons and fled deep into the wilderness howling. However, there were hippogryphs watching from the air and light cavalry on the ground.
When being chased, the orcs had no way to escape, and were quickly cut down to the ground by the light cavalry who caught up from behind.
This ambush lasted only a short time, and ended with Roger's victory. Dozens of orcs lay in disorder on the golden wasteland, and their green blood gradually gathered together in several depressions.
A huge pool of blood formed. Although the orcs looked a little miserable, Roger had no sympathy for these guys when he thought of the tragic scenes he saw along the way.
In the next few days, Roger eliminated several small groups of orcs. Not only did he collect a lot of soul power, but the things these guys grabbed also became his trophies. Every time the orcs rob a caravan, they always do it indiscriminately.
The bad ones take away everything. Naturally, there will be valuables such as gold coins, gems and even magic crystals, which are also very useful to Roger.
Although he had eliminated nearly a hundred orcs, Roger was not satisfied. The Baron trekked hard for many days to the golden wasteland, and also killed more than a hundred royal troops, not just to kill dozens of beasts.
The purpose of Roger's trip is very clear, which is to prevent the orcs from continuing to wreak havoc in his territory. Although he also knows very well that it is impossible to completely eliminate the orcs, he must at least beat them hard and scare them until they enter human territory.
He cannot bear the consequences of his evil deeds, so that the orcs will never dare to set foot in Kent County again.
So Roger did not relax and kept looking for traces of the orcs. After a few days, he finally gained something again.
