Alando lay on the grass, moving his body carefully, and trying his best to ensure that he would not make any sounds because of his movements. Ryan followed Alando and kept a distance of about five meters from him. A few hundred meters away,
Xiaobai pressed his body tightly to the ground, using its sensitive hearing to warn Ryan and Alando.
After spending two hours and crawling for more than 40 meters, Alando successfully crossed an open land and came to a small hillside. After a few minutes, Ryan also came to this hillside and lay down on the hillside.
Next to Alando, this is a very low hillside, which is only more than one person tall at most. If it weren't on the northern prairie, even the title of "hillside" would be very barely called.
Alando raised his head slightly, looked around, and made sure no one noticed him. Then he poked his body out of the hillside and carefully looked at the camp about 20 meters below the hillside. This was a very simple campsite, built on
On the south side of this hillside, the cold air coming to the north can barely block the cold air coming to the north.
The camp was surrounded by wood of different lengths. These sticks that reached the waist of an adult were decayed on the outside. Although there were ropes between the sticks and the sticks, they were connected between them.
The gap is still enough to pass through a thin person.
Several old orcs were busy by the bonfire in the middle of the camp. There was a clean Taren cow on the bonfire. Two young orcs were almost pushing a wheel next to them with their full strength, and by the rotation of the wheel.
, causing this Taron cow to roll on the bonfire.
Allen counted for a while and there were six cowhide tents in the camp. According to the calculation of 8 people living in one tent, the number of people in this camp should not exceed 50, which is probably a strengthened team of troops. It was noon at this time, but the orcs were
There were no people in the camp. Ryan and Alanto waited for a while and found that the seven or eight orcs were basically coming and going in the camp. These orcs were busy and did not relax for a moment, but in
Outside the camp, they didn't even have basic alerts, and seemed to be very at ease with the safety here.
Ryan and Alanto didn't dare to be careless. They waited in place for a long time, but still did not find other orcs, which disappointed Ryan and Alanto. It seemed that those orcs might have gone out to patrol.
It is an active area for orc wolf cavalrymen, and this camp is probably also a place for one of the wolf cavalry units to rest at night.
Ten days ago, Ryan and Alanto set out from Thor Fortress and began to go north to carry out the mission of "Information Collection". Unlike ordinary mercenaries, Ryan and others did not choose a straight line to go north in order to get the mission reward.
Instead, they adopted a spiral forward approach. They first carefully investigated the area forty kilometers north of Thor Fortress, selected several hidden places to hide their whereabouts, and then asked about the time to find out the orc patrol
Approximate the route, and then take advantage of the time when the orcs are most likely to relax their vigilance in the early morning, crossing their blockade lines.
These methods have not been used by other mercenary groups, but only Ryan and Alando have done the most beautifully. The reason is quite simple, because they only have two people, while the other mercenary groups have at least seven or eight people, and most of them are two.
, Thirty people. With such a huge number, I am afraid that the enemy will be seen from afar on the wide prairie. Why are you talking about secretly sneaking in? In addition, Alando is a druid,
Having a unique advantage in the natural environment, one can find the enemy's traces from afar, thus avoiding the fate of being discovered by one's whereabouts.
After leaving Thor, Ryan and his party drew a rough topographic drawing based on what they saw along the way, but even Ryan himself understood that this rough and simple thing might not have much effect. After so long, Ryan was in the imperial capital and Orlando.
The general and others have been together for a while and have some military knowledge. They understand that the real purpose of the Thunder God Fortress garrisons issued the "Information Collection" mission is to obtain detailed information from orcs, with the focus on the deployment of orcs' troops or similar intelligence.
Otherwise, even the detailed topographic map would be just a reference, because the garrison of Thor Fortress would not be able to leave the fortress and go to North Talun to fight.
But Ryan also understood the concerns of the Thunder Fortress garrison. If they clearly pointed this out in their mission, no one would dare to come. Mercenaries could risk their lives to complete the task, as long as they were rewarded, because this was their best
Things that they are good at. But if they want to investigate the movements of the orc army directly, it would be better to let them hunt and kill a powerful monster. Even the well-trained scouts of the Thunder Fortress have gone without returning, not to mention that they are not good at these
Where are the mercenaries of things? Watch on mobile phone
In the orc camp, the young orc said a few words loudly, and immediately two old orcs came over and carried the Taren cattle on the bonfire down, and then the two old orcs worked together to carry it.
Another clean Taron sheep was placed on the bonfire.
Only then did Ryan remember that he had been here for a long time. When he first came, the Taron beef could be roasted on the fire. Thinking of this, Ryan took back his thoughts and looked at him.
It was wandering in the entire orc camp. Soon, Ryan's eyes fell on a corner of the camp, where there were piles of firewood more than one person tall, attracting Ryan's attention.
Those firewood are the drier and most flammable good firewood. Logically speaking, orcs should get the firewood when they grilled beef, but those orcs did not move. They would rather spend more effort and go.
Use fresh branches and grass leaves that are still moist, as if these firewood does not exist.
Ryan's heart suddenly moved. He remembered that when he was in Thor Fortress a few days ago, Bart talked about the way to transmit signals on the grassland, which was "using smoke during the day and fire at night."
The dry pile of firewood in front of me, Ryan had reason to believe that it was the tool for orcs to send signals. As long as the camp was attacked by the enemy, orcs would ignite the pile of firewood as soon as possible, and the orcs patrolling nearby would
The wolf cavalry and other camps can immediately send personnel to support the place. Even if the enemy is powerful and all the orcs in this camp are killed in battle, they can leave enough clues to allow other orcs to continue to hunt down the infiltrating human scouts. This should be
The reason why several other mercenary groups were wiped out.
Ryan shook his head slightly. They had already investigated four camps like in front of him in the past two days, and there was almost one every ten kilometers. This also shows that there was a wolf cavalry team patrolling about every ten kilometers. Such patrols
In Ryan's impression, the density was probably worse than that of the human capital Fernando in the Royal Competition. What did the orcs want to hide? They actually used such a huge army.
"How is it?" Allendo asked in a small voice in Ryan's ear: "There are the fewest people here among these camps. Should we take the risk and try it?"
Ryan said hesitantly: "It's all the elderly and children, I can't do it!"
"Oh!" Alando also shook his head. Isn't he the same?
"Let's do it," Ryan came up with a compromise, and he whispered to Alando. "Let's find a place to rest and see if it's possible to dive further in the evening, maybe a little further north,
It may not be possible to find anything."
"That's all that." Alando agreed to Ryan's proposal.
Although the war is cruel, neither Ryan nor Alando is willing to massacre civilians, even if it is a race facing non-humans. They observed the surrounding environment and prepared to leave here quietly and find a safe place to wait for the day
black.
At this moment, a young orc in the orc camp suddenly shouted a few words, which scared Ryan and Alando. They thought their whereabouts had been discovered, so they quickly pressed their bodies tightly to the ground.
, while paying attention to the movements around him, he was watching the screaming orc vigilantly.
I saw the orc camp where three other young orcs were shouting loudly, and they dropped what they were doing and ran out of the camp. The orc who was the first to shout crawled into a tent. Alando had already put it in
The weapon "Sharp Claw" was worn on his hands and was ready to transform into an attack at any time, and Ryan was also ready for battle.
No one expected that the orcs did not look at the place where Ryan was hiding, but ran to the open space outside the camp to wait. After less than a minute, the orc who had entered the tent held a round circle.
The thing ran out and came to the other young orcs. The orc threw the round thing in his hand under his feet, and then kicked it at his companion.
Accompanied by the cheers, the four young orcs were happily kicking the round thing and playing happily in the open space outside the camp. Ryan and Alando felt relieved. It turned out that their whereabouts were not revealed.
, but these orcs couldn't stand the hard work and started playing some kind of game.
Ryan was even a little curious about what those orcs were kicking? He used his eyesight and looked carefully towards the young orcs, but when he saw clearly what those orcs were kicking, his whole body immediately
He became stiff and his body began to tremble slightly. Ryan closed his mouth tightly, and even though he had bitten his lips, he didn't feel any pain.
Alando, who was lying beside Ryan, was startled. This was the first time he saw Ryan's appearance. What made him so angry? Alando looked along Ryan's gaze and found that those young people were
The round thing that the orc was kicking was a bloody human head! Although it was impossible to see the face of the human head clearly, its very obvious appearance still shows that it was a human head!
