Chapter 13 Orcs
Early in the morning, the outside sun rises again.
Under the sunlight, Adil rode a horse and led a few people to patrol the surroundings quietly.
After a while, he took people back to the camp where he was stationed, and saw the soldiers gathered in the camp.
He frowned subconsciously, stopped a person passing by, and asked him about the situation.
"Someone from the front line has returned, and it is said that they have discovered the traces of the orcs. Lord Fulaer is gathering soldiers and preparing to go there to suppress them." The soldier reverently told what he knew before leaving in a hurry.
Adil was stunned for a moment, then turned to look forward.
The combat power in the camp has basically been summoned, not only the elites that Fulaer brought from the castle, but also some apprentice knights who were originally stationed here, are in the ranks of the summons.
There are still some soldiers coming back one after another outside. They are all soldiers like Adil who were sent to patrol and stationed around some time ago, and they are returning intermittently at this time.
Looking at this posture, Adiel sighed inwardly, without hesitation, he rode directly to the front.
He saw Fulaer standing in front of the patrol team, still wearing that pale black armor, still looking so mighty.
It seemed that he felt Adier's gaze, and the other party turned around halfway, looked towards Adier's side, and nodded slightly to him.
Looking around, Adil consciously walked to the side of the queue, where all standing there were apprentice knights like Adil.
He looked everywhere, Dill was also inside, his face was unprecedentedly serious at this time, and he didn't dare to relax at all.
After a period of time, when the recalled people almost returned to the team, Fulaer began to allocate the team.
The mission this time was to suppress the orcs. Judging from the current information, the strength of this group of orcs is not weak, and a large part of the fighting force must be transferred to the past.
However, there must be no one stationed in the camp. During the period of departure, someone must also be there to guard against the robbers and wildlings in the north from entering the territory in the south.
Of course, for Adil, these have nothing to do with him.
･･･
A few days later, in a wilderness, Adil quietly followed the troops in front and gradually moved forward.
"After walking this road and walking for another half a day, you will arrive at that area."
Walking to this area, looking at the team behind him, Fulaer suddenly said: "Let our people speed up, within today, we must go there."
With an order, the speed of the team's march accelerated again.
But looking at this situation, Adil frowned.
In an unknown location, leading the team to advance at such a fast speed is not an ordinary consumption of physical strength. If there is an accident, it will be very easy to be frustrated.
In the entire team, not all cavalry, most of the soldiers are actually walking.
In this world, although the physical fitness of warriors is much stronger than that of people in previous lives, they will also feel tired after walking under the sun for such a long time.
Through his keen sense of hearing, Adil has faintly heard the sound of violent gasps from the surrounding, from the surrounding warriors from time to time.
"I hope there won't be an accident above." He rode his horse and thought to himself as he looked at the rough road ahead.
Walking through here, it was almost noon, and when I reached the foot of a certain mountain, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
This abnormal situation has attracted everyone's attention.
Fulaer rode a high-headed white horse, looked at the surrounding terrain, and said with some doubts: "What about the people we sent out to inspect before? Haven't they come back yet?"
"Not yet." A voice came from behind.
There was also some doubt in his tone.
Hearing this, Fulaer subconsciously frowned, and the corners of his mouth opened, wanting to say something.
Whoosh!
At this moment, an inexplicable voice suddenly sounded.
Adil's eyes shrank suddenly, and he felt extremely familiar with this sound: "Is this, the sound of arrows breaking through the air?"
This thought flashed in his heart for a moment, and his head instinctively raised, seeing the arrow in the sky at this time.
Strong physical fitness and long-term training instincts worked the first time.
Before the others could react, Adil subconsciously held a shield hanging on the horse, then stepped hard, jumped fiercely, and returned to the ground in an instant.
His left hand swung forward sharply, and the shield in his hand smashed several arrows in front of him, and only then did he have the intention to look around.
The horse that was sitting on it was gone, and was stabbed into the body of the horse by more than a dozen arrows. At this time, it fell to the ground and wailed.
Others are similar.
Those apprentice knights are not bad, although they are being taken care of, their quality is also much stronger. In terms of reaction ability, they are not bad, only a few unlucky ghosts are recruited.
Those ordinary warriors are much more miserable.
Compared with apprentice knights, these ordinary fighters not only react much slower, but also have worse equipment. Some fighters don't even have a rough leather armor on their bodies. Once they are hit, they will end up miserably.
Adil noticed that the arrowheads of those arrows were obviously a little pale green, and it was very likely that they had been soaked in some kind of poison.
At the front of the team, Fulaer had a cold face, the long sword in his hand had been drawn, and his eyes were staring straight ahead.
Around, in the originally quiet place, a muffled sound rang out.
Ahead, in the silent mountain forest, orcs wearing simple animal skin robes with hideous faces and about two meters in height walked out from there, each with a bloodthirsty and violent aura.
Compared with humans, these orcs have gray skin and a much stronger physique. They generally hold heavy weapons, which looks scary enough.
"S. La Meng."
An inexplicable roar came from the mouths of these orcs.
There was no extra language and communication. At the beginning of the meeting, these orcs raised their weapons and rushed forward fiercely.
The front was shaking violently. This group of orcs was very direct. They attacked at the moment when Adil and others hadn't reacted, and did not give them any time to arrange.
Immediately, almost all the warriors, including Fulaer, turned pale.
"Something's wrong!" At this moment, Adil's heart suddenly shook: "There are so many orcs, almost a small orc tribe, how can they come here without any news?"
The social structure of orcs is not the same as that of human beings. Most of them are composed of tribes, which will only join together at certain necessary moments.
Excluding those old and weak women and children, as well as females, there are usually only a few hundred warriors that a normal orc tribe can really take out.
And in front of Adil, there are at least three or four hundred orc warriors in this dense group of warriors.
Before I had time to think too much, the orcs in front shouted in a language that Adil couldn't understand, waving the weapons in their hands and rushing towards them.
Faced with this situation, no matter what he thought in his heart before, now he can only draw out the weapon in his hand and fight with these orcs.
Adil, these apprentice knights, were obviously taken care of by these orcs.
Compared with ordinary warriors, these apprentice knights are much more threatening, and the armor and weapons they wear are often better and more conspicuous than ordinary warriors.
Even though Adil, who looked weaker among these apprentice knights because of his age, was surrounded by several tall orc warriors at this time, looking at him with a hideous expression.
Looking at the orc warrior coming back in front of him, Adil's face was still, holding a silver shield one meter long and wide in his left hand, his right hand stretched out to his waist, and touched the cross sword there.
click!
A crisp shattering sound sounded, with a red bloodstain.
In front of Adil, the tall orc warrior opened his eyes and stared at Adil in front of him, as if he could not believe that he would be defeated so quickly.
A huge metal battle axe slammed down at Adil, but was tightly blocked by a silver shield.
Adil felt the power from the shield in his left hand, and his originally nervous mood completely calmed down.
These orcs look strong and powerful, and in fact they are, but they are not as good as Adil.
Adil estimates that the strength of these ordinary orc warriors is about 1.5, and their agility and system are slightly stronger than ordinary people. In terms of physical fitness, it can already be compared with the elite warriors among human beings, but it is not as good as the apprentice knight, not to mention the comparison with Adil.
A cold light flashed through the air, and a huge head of an orc flew out under the wave of enormous power.
Adil turned around, and without hesitation, he cut down with a few swords, blocking the offensive of the other orcs beside him.
He rushed forward, and the orcs in front of him couldn't react at all, still maintaining their original movements, pierced through his chest by the cross sword in his hand, and fell to the ground behind him.
Roar! !
A low roar came from behind Adil, and the whistling sound of the weapon dancing quickly reached Adil's ear.
He subconsciously moved back with his left hand, and the shield he was holding collided with a giant sword.
bump! !
A violent crash sounded, and a force rushed towards the body.
Adil only felt a sore hand in his hand and took a few steps back before looking behind him.
It was an orc warrior who was much taller than an ordinary orc. Not only was he nearly 2.5 meters tall, but he was also wearing a rough leather armor. At this moment, he was half-knelt on the ground, as if he had suffered a little from the impact just now.
This is an orc warrior, some of the orcs with strong physique, and the battle strength is already equivalent to a trainee knight.
It seems that it was because Adil's previous performance was too outstanding. Around him, several orc warriors with weapons in their hands slowly approached him.
