The distance was calculated very accurately. When the two kodos began to foam at the mouth, Asa saw the team waiting for them in front.
It seemed that Ouf had sent reinforcements during this period. More than a dozen werewolves and ogres, and more than a dozen large ballistae formed a formation under the command of Luken.
Thunderbirds are generally reluctant to fly out of the depths of the mountains. Only a dozen large eagles managed to catch up, but they only lost a few corpses under the power of the huge crossbows and fled.
After receiving the people and things they wanted to pick up, the orcs left as quickly as possible. There were only four kodos left, and two of them were half dead from exhaustion, so only half of the crossbows they had brought so hard were thrown away.
After all, this is the scope of the Sandface Mountains. It is better to leave as soon as possible. The Kodo beast carried the ore and Beamon's nails, and the werewolves and ogres were trotting beside them. For them, they are different from humans.
In terms of physical strength, the dozens of miles away from Sandface Mountain are nothing. With the help of honey, water and food, Asa's physical strength quickly recovered, and now he can basically move freely. But after all, he can't fight with the werewolf.
He started running the same way, so he was the only one sitting on the kodo.
Luken commanded the team, jumped on the Kodo and sat down next to Asa. Most of the hair on his body had been burned and fell off, and his tail was also missing. It looked weird, as if
A hairless dog-human hybrid. He whispered: "I'm sorry. I decided to leave you there."
"What are you sorry for?" Asa smiled faintly. "You didn't even take away the ore. It means you had no choice but to put me down."
"Actually, everyone else was against it at the time. I repeatedly told them that your injuries could no longer withstand the bumps, and I promised them that I would be able to rescue you, and they agreed."
Asa nodded slightly and said: "I believe your decision must have your reasons. And as far as I am concerned, I also think this choice is the right one. Cedros will definitely be very happy to see the two newborn Behemoths."
Happy."
"If it can be successfully tamed, it will be Oufu's incomparable fighting power." Luken's small eyes shone with astonishing brilliance.
Asa also nodded slightly. During this time, he had a full understanding of the ability of this giant monster. And Ofu's experience in arming orcs and beasts is unmatched by other countries. An ogre passed through
After wearing special heavy armor and holding weapons, the combat effectiveness is ten times that of bare hands. From this, you can imagine how powerful two armed Behemoths will be on the battlefield. And for this precious combat effectiveness, Cedros
I would definitely not skimp on materials and add two armors with magic resistance to them. Two monsters like that can almost defeat a large army.
"You're not afraid of losing the ore, and depending on the situation, you can probably hold on for a while. But the two newborn Behemoths can't. If we keep them for a few days, they will definitely die, so we can only take them away as soon as possible.
There, feed them honey juice and chewed meat and send them to Orfu as soon as possible. So I have to wait there with the ore for a few days. The breath of the two Behemoths in the cave is still there.
Now, other wild beasts will never dare to approach."
"I said, I don't care. You don't need to explain to me. Your choice is correct." Asa looked at the hairless werewolf and smiled. "But you, in that situation, were able to identify the two
Behemoth has just given birth to a cub, and it is not easy to find the nest before the wind blows."
"Actually, it's nothing. After all, it's really strange for two Behemoths to appear at the same time. And many solitary animals only stay together when mating and giving birth. And the second Behemoth appeared so suddenly, which naturally means that the nest is not
Not far." Luken took a long breath and showed his fangs. "And when I first saw a monster like Behemoth, I was thinking that if it could be tamed like a flying dragon,
That help to Oufu..."
"Always think from Ouf's point of view. It seems that Cedros really did not misjudge you." Asa nodded. Cedros specifically mentioned this werewolf when he handed the team to him.
.Although I just mentioned it briefly, what is worth mentioning is definitely not brute force and bravery, but wisdom and judgment.
"Because that's our city." Luken replied lightly, smiling a little bitterly. "Because of the two little Behemoths, Clolin had to be abandoned there by us."
"Then he..." Asa then remembered that there was another ogre who was seriously injured and unconscious like him.
"Not even the body was found." Luken said slowly with a strange sadness in his wolf face and voice. "He is too heavy. We can't send him to Beamon's lair before the wind blows like you. We can only
He found a gap to hide in the cliff, hoping that his luck would be better. But this time when Altin took people back, he saw nothing."
Asa Moran worked hard to bring him to the mouth of the valley, but failed to really bring him out. He asked hesitantly: "Does Will have no objection to giving up him for the two little Behemoths?"
Clolin and Weir were the best friends among the four ogres who entered the Sandface Mountains, and they were also the two who fought together until the end. The relationship between orcs of the same race is usually much stronger than that of humans.
"No. Forced by the situation. He also knows that Clolin's effect on Ofu will never be as great as that of the two Behemoths."
Asa sighed. Only then could he realize the true meaning of our city that Luken said just now. He said: "You just said that they did not agree to leave me behind. Do they think that my role will be greater than that of a little girl?"
Behemoth?"
"You are a friend of Lord Cedros. Since he asked you to lead us, they will never let you die." Luken replied lightly, and showed a weird smile. "But as far as I am concerned, after weighing the pros and cons,
I still think you are not as important as a Behemoth."
Because Asa's identity was so important, Cedros did not explain to the orcs who the man who would lead them through life and death was. He only used a friend to explain all the reasons. But in the eyes of these orcs
, this explanation is enough.
Asa sighed again. He didn't know whether he should be grateful or emotional to these orcs...
Luken stared at Asa, his wolf eyes shining with the light that only humans can have. He seemed a little hesitant and asked Asa softly: "Can I ask a question?"
Asa nodded. "What's the problem? Tell me."
Luken looked carefully at Asa's ordinary face, which could be hidden in the crowd, and asked slowly: "Why do you keep wearing a mask?"
Asa blinked his ordinary-looking eyes and shut in the two knife-like flashes. The expression on his face was a friendly smile. "How did you know I was wearing a mask?
"
Although Asa himself can't see it, he can be sure that this expression must be perfect, and the werewolf will not be able to see the slightest bit of hostility or inappropriateness. This is a magic mask made by Sandru himself. He must be able to use necromancy magic.
Only those who can use this flexibly can see how wonderful this thing is. According to Sandro's understanding of the human body, any facial expression and muscle changes can be displayed seamlessly on this mask. It has been processed by necromancy magic.
Human skin and muscles are not only breathable, but can even sweat, automatically matching the color of the surrounding skin. Asa has seen Sandro wearing such a mask, at least he can't see any clues.
Being touched on the most sensitive topic in his heart, Asa reflexively became a little wary. But fortunately, the heavy footsteps of the Kodo and the low voice of Luken made Alkin and the others trot attentively.
The werewolf didn't turn around, so it seemed he couldn't hear their conversation.
Luken said: "Because the smell on your body is always slightly lighter than on your face. It feels like a person covering his face with a cloth. And when you were weak and fainted, I noticed a very slight smell on your face.
The magical smell is incompatible with your body. So I think you must be wearing a strangely made magic mask."
Asa did not answer, but looked at Luken for a while, and suddenly said: "I remember you used the magic scroll I dropped."
"Yes." Luken nodded.
"Not everyone can use magic scrolls. No matter how low-level a magician is, he or she must be someone with at least some magic skills." Asa's eyes also kept falling on the werewolf's face. "I've never
I didn't expect that an orc could actually use a magic scroll."
Luken said nothing.
"And the scroll of the Fire Bomb is the most dangerous of all magic scrolls. I heard that there was a precedent of roasting the whole body of a magician, but after you use it, it just burns all the hair on your body. This shouldn't be just
Luck. No one dares to be careless when making such high-end scrolls, so it is unlikely that there will be inferior products with insufficient power."
Luken nodded, but still didn't speak.
"The most important thing is that I have never heard of a werewolf who can smell magic. Cedros must not have known about it either, otherwise he would have told me first. He said that there was a werewolf in the team who also had a certain understanding of magic.
"The wariness in Asa's eyes has been fully revealed. He always thought that the team was composed of orcs who knew nothing about magic, so they dared to use necromancy magic unscrupulously in the Sandfes Mountains. Although they left Eufor by themselves
The wanted notice has not been spread in this relatively independent city, but the orc may also be able to identify the magic he uses. Then when he knows the wanted notice in the future, it will be easy to think that he is
who.
A werewolf whose identity seems a little weird and who obviously already knows too much can be killed here first. Asa gathered his magic power and couldn't help but move his hand behind his back. Even if he hasn't done anything yet
Sure, but there is still more than half a month to go back to Oufu, so there is plenty of time.
After being silent for a long time, Luken curled his lips, which made his face look as depressed as a dog that had been beaten with a stick. He nodded and said, "Yes. Actually, I know some magic, and this matter
I didn’t tell anyone. This is because unlike my other compatriots, I was raised by a human alchemist.”
Asa nodded suddenly. "No wonder you can speak so fluently."
"When I was very young, our tribe was annihilated by the Erathian army. I was knocked unconscious during the war, and when I woke up, I found myself with an old alchemist. According to him, he was in trouble at the time.
I was bought from the Erathian army at a high price because an alchemical experiment required the brain and heart of a young orc. However, other materials for the experiment were never found, and I survived. The alchemist originally bought me
He was raised as a guard dog, but later he found out that I actually learned how to speak. He was very surprised, so he treated me as half apprentice and half assistant. You know, how can an orc
His assistant is unique in the entire continent. My master lives in seclusion in a forest to study alchemy. He doesn't usually interact with people, so he talks to me a lot. I followed him and learned some magic by the way.
Something. I grew up among magic items, so I was able to spot that mask on your face."
Asa nodded. Sandro probably didn't think about hiding it from a werewolf's nose when he was making the mask. He asked: "Then how did you come to Orfu?"
"More than two years ago, someone reported that my master specialized in witchcraft. When people from the church and the army came, when they saw me, they immediately concluded that I, an evil orc, was evidence of witchcraft. My master was killed on the spot, and I
In a panic, he used a low-quality teleportation scroll that he got from somewhere. I was very lucky. I was not teleported into the underground rocks, but was transported thousands of meters above the forest on the border of Erathia.
I fell down and broke a leg. I tried to contact some humans quietly, but no matter how careful and hard I tried, the final result was the army chasing me. Only then did I realize that I had only one way to die in human society, so I tried my best
I fled towards the wild highlands. But there were also human troops there to exterminate the orcs. I don’t know how long I spent on the run. Just when I thought I was going crazy, I finally met a similar person who was taken in by the Lord of Cedros.
." Luken sighed, and even the strange tone of the werewolf could hear the great emotion contained in it. "I really didn't expect that I would see the same kind of people one day in my life. I almost collapsed at the time."
"Later, I followed the Lord of Cedros to build Orfu. He is really an amazing person. What is it if the orcs, who have been hunted, surrounded and suppressed, like bereaved dogs, can be independent and have their own country?
You, as a human, will not understand this feeling. And for us, Oufu is no longer a country or a homeland that can be summarized." Although the werewolf's speech is no different from that of humans, although his accent is
It's still that weird sound, but the perseverance and emotion in the voice can still be clearly felt. "That's all we have."
"I didn't dare to tell my fellow tribesmen and the Lord of Cedros City that I knew magic and my previous experiences. I just told them that my previous tribe was wiped out. I didn't want them to treat me as an alien." Luken smiled bitterly.
"But it seems I can't do it without telling you."
"It seems like it's not a big deal." Asa nodded slightly, looked at Luken and murmured.
