As Roger entered deeper into the golden wasteland, the hippogryphs patrolling in the air finally sent back good news, discovering a small orc tribe more than thirty miles ahead.【】
Because the hippogryphs have limited intelligence, Roger can only know the approximate number of orcs, about two hundred. Unlike the small group of orcs he encountered before, the number of orcs in this small tribe has increased several times, and it is not that easy to eliminate them.
.
In order to find out the enemy's situation, Roger decided to go to the orc tribe to investigate the enemy's situation in person. He and Bonnie walked on foot and cautiously approached the orc tribe from downwind.
At this time, Roger's place had been several days' journey deep into the Golden Wasteland. This place had always been the territory of the orcs, so these green-skinned monsters seemed very careless and only sent out a few sentries around the tribe. That's just a few.
The poor few sentries were almost all lazily hiding in the lee and sleeping soundly. Roger had arrived near the tribe without much trouble.
Roger and Bonnie hid in the long grass and looked at the orc tribe cautiously. They were immediately surprised by what they saw. Although the orc tribe was not large in number, there were a large number of orcs piled up in the open space.
There are all kinds of supplies, such as grain, cloth, barrels of ale, all kinds of weapons, armors and shields, making this orc tribe look more like a market.
All these supplies were produced in the human world, and they were obviously snatched back by these orcs. Roger and Bonnie exchanged glances, and both saw unexpected expressions on each other's faces.
"Come on, let's find the den of thieves." Roger whispered in Bonnie's ear: "This tribe of orcs must be professional robbers."
The hot air from Roger's mouth gently blew on the sensitive earlobes of the female knight, making her pretty face covered with a faint red cloud. Normally, Bonnie wouldn't mind being so close to Roger, but
Now that the battle was about to begin, the female knight still didn't want him to make her distracted. She quickly stepped aside and asked in a low voice: "What are you going to do?"
"Cool!" Roger said another word that Bonnie didn't understand. The female knight frowned and was about to ask, but Roger made a silence gesture to her, indicating to Bonnie to continue monitoring the orc camp.
Following the direction Roger pointed, the female knight was immediately stunned by the scene in front of her. A human suddenly came out of a tent with several particularly burly orcs. Judging from the calm and leisurely manner of the human, this guy was definitely not an orc.
The captives are more like their guests.
Bonnie looked at Roger with a horrified look on her face, wanting to know from him why this happened. However, Roger also looked confused and just signaled the female knight to wait patiently to find out what the hell this human being was doing.
"Bat, all the harvest of our tribe is here." An orc pointed at the supplies piled in the center of the camp and said: "But there are still some tribesmen who have not returned, they should also have a lot of harvest!"
After hearing what this orc said, Roger and Bonnie looked at each other. Both of them knew that the tribesmen in this guy's mouth should be the groups of orcs that were intercepted before. Those guys have become food for the corpse-eating insects and can no longer be killed.
Back.
"Bat" is just that human's nickname. Of course, his real name cannot be called this. However, you must be careful when dealing with orcs. It would be best if you don't use your real name. After all, having an affair with these public enemies of mankind is not a trivial matter. If it is exposed,
It will become the object of rejection by the entire human society, and bats don't want to end up in that situation.
Hearing that the chief of the orcs said that some goods were coming soon, Bat was not happy but frowned and said: "Why is it so late? I reported to the chief a few days ago that humans have sent troops to deal with the orcs and want him to
Didn't the chief inform you that we had already made preparations?"
"The great chief has sent someone to tell me the news!" The leader of the orcs said in vague common language: "Strong orcs are not afraid of the human army. They are not our opponents at all! I want to wait until all the tribesmen return.
I just left here and went to Tallinn Lake to meet the great chief!"
Roger and Bonnie were both shocked when they heard this, with expressions of surprise on their faces. Before, Roger saw that this human was related to the orcs, and thought he was just a profit-seeking businessman who came here just to buy things at low prices and rob the orcs.
It's just something that came here. Who would have thought that this guy even knew the news that Roger came to exterminate the orcs. He was obviously not an ordinary businessman, and must have connections with the higher-ups of the kingdom.
Roger glanced at Bonnie, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Originally, it was a capital crime for this businessman to collude with the orcs who harmed human beings. Obviously, he actually did something detrimental to himself, which was an even more excusable crime. Roger
Jie had already decided to capture this human and torture him later. He asked him where he got the news and deliberately leaked it to the orcs to deal with him.
But to deal with this human being, we must first eliminate the orc tribe. Roger observed the situation around him and quickly formulated a battle plan.
An orc on guard was chatting and lying in the long grass to bask in the sun, when he suddenly felt the earth tremble slightly, and then there was a rapid sound of horse hooves.
The orcs, who were a little slow-minded, didn't even think that someone was attacking the tribe. They thought that the tribesmen who went out to "hunt" had snatched back a large group of horses. The orc sentries stood up excitedly and waved in the direction of the sound of horse hooves.
.ran
And when it discovered that the horses running wildly were all riding humans, it was already too late. The few light cavalry who bore the brunt passed by the orc with their sabers waving, and several terrible wounds appeared on its body instantly without saying a word.
He fell to the ground and died.
After the light cavalry eliminated the orc sentries, they did not stop and rushed directly to the orcs' camp. At this time, the orcs in the camp had also heard the sound of horse hooves, and they all got out of the tents and looked in the direction of the sound. The orcs had just come from
Coming out of the tent, they were greeted by a wave of arrows.
The light cavalry all carry short bows with them. Although the short bow is not as lethal as the long bow, it can still easily penetrate the tough skin of the orcs because of the help of the running horses.
Many orcs had the same idea as the dead sentinels. They thought that the tribesmen had brought back a large number of horses for fun, and they did not expect to be attacked. Many orcs were taken advantage of when they were unprepared.
Arrow shot. Although most of the orcs' injuries were not fatal, they had already caused chaos in the camp.
Some orcs roared and rushed towards the cavalry, waving a variety of weapons, just wanting to smash these humans who dared to risk the orc warriors into pulp; other orcs threw simple javelins at the light cavalry,
Hoping to suppress the momentum of the other party's reunion; some orcs were yelling in the camp to warn others of their kind who were still in the tents.
In short, the orc camp was in chaos in the blink of an eye. Even Roger, who summoned cavalry to attack them, did not expect that these simple-minded guys with well-developed limbs would be in such chaos when they were suddenly attacked.
However, the more chaotic the orcs were, the more beneficial it was to Roger. With a thought, he summoned several magic apprentices to his side and ordered them to shoot flaming arrows at the orc camp.
Although the flame arrow is only the lowest level of killing magic, even if it hits the target, the flames ignited can be easily extinguished. It is not a powerful magic. However, this kind of magic is more than enough to set fire, and it can kill several people in the blink of an eye.
The orcs' tents were already burning.
The orc chief was hugging an equally burly female orc happily in his tent. The noise outside did not attract his attention at first. After all, the orcs were used to making noises, and sometimes two orcs just wanted to fight over who was near the bonfire.
There would be a big fight for the position, causing the orcs in the entire tribe to make a lot of noise, so the chief did not take his men's shouts to heart, and still worked hard on the orc beauties.
However, by coincidence, a flaming arrow hit the chief's tent. When the flames burned down half of the tent, the chief finally realized that the camp was under attack. He quickly got off the female orc, without even having to fasten his pants.
He rushed out.
"Don't panic, it's just a few dozen light cavalry!" The orc chief has rich combat experience. He immediately determined the number and types of enemies and shouted to his men: "These humans don't dare to attack our camp. As long as they hold the camp, they will
It’s okay! You guys go put out the damn fire!”
The appearance of the chief restored some order to the orcs, and a dozen orcs were ordered to put out the burning tent. However, as soon as they took a few steps, they were attacked by arrows again.
This attack came from another direction. Hundreds of crossbowmen fired at the orc camp. Longbows and light crossbows were much more powerful than short bows. The first round of shooting caused
More than a dozen orcs died, and many more orcs were seriously injured. They fell to the ground and cursed humans for being despicable.
"Where did these enemies come from? Where did our sentries die?" The sudden appearance of the crossbowman behind him made the orc chief have a premonition that something was not good, and he quickly shouted: "Orc warriors, attack
, kill all those crossbowmen and avenge the dead tribesmen!"
The orcs are originally a cruel and bloodthirsty race. Under the instigation of the orc chief, the orcs' eyes turned red. They picked up everything around them that could be used for low-end arrows, and shot them at shields, pot lids, bed boards, and even corpses of the same kind.
, completely ignoring the sharp arrows coming towards him, he roared and rushed towards the crossbowman.
The orc chief rushed to the front. Having dealt with humans for a long time, he knew very well that as long as he rushed to the crossbowmen, he and his warriors could easily tear these fragile humans into pieces!
However, the orc chief soon discovered that today was destined to be a miserable day for him.
