Chapter 30: The Battle to the Death
Ragner gently pulled out the dagger that was inserted into the back of the orc captain's head, and he had a general idea of the orc's body structure from Verles' notes, which said that the lower part of the orc's head was not protected by bone, and that it was an ideal place to start when assassinating the orc.
The fact was that Verles's note was correct, and the dagger pierced the orc captain's head like a rubber, and the orc captain died completely in an instant, without even making a sound.
But the Verles note is not omnipotent, Regner tried to track the location of Kordak and Vera according to the method recorded in the note, but because of the lack of careful research, the direction of Ragnar's tracking still deviated after all.
Regnar let go of his left hand covering the orc captain's mouth, and he wiped the orc's saliva from the corpse in disgust, then removed the flaming blade of Selenos along with the scabbard and put it on himself.
He did all this less than a meter away from the other eager orcs, but his light movements didn't make any sound, and their attention was drawn to Kordak, so the orcs were completely unaware of the death of their captain.
Vera was already speechless in shock, she stared at Regner as if she were looking at a stranger, and Regner's dark eyes made her shiver even more in the night.
Regnar used the flaming blade to cut the ropes on Vera's hands and feet, and just then one of the orcs had turned around, wondering why his captain was so quiet.
"Let's go!" Regner said softly, his voice sounding untense.
Vera didn't pretend to be too pretentious when she regained her freedom, she spread her legs and ran towards the darkness of the forest, because her melee combat skills were too weak to be a burden here.
"Enemy attack......! Poof!" The orc who spotted Regner roared, but halfway through his words it turned into the sound of blood erupting from his throat.
The moment the orc realized, Ragner took a step forward and slit the throat of the screaming orc. Then he did not hesitate to flee after killing the orcs, and the thin figure disappeared into the darkness of the forest.
The eyes of the remaining three orcs turned bloodshot red as they saw the inexplicable death of their feared captain, and they roared and rushed in the direction where Regnar had disappeared.
Regnar was able to rescue Vera, but they couldn't escape immediately, because Kordak, who had attracted a large number of orcs, was still under siege by four orcs.
The reason why Kordak used thunder to kill an orc at the cost of causing a wound was that he was afraid that he would be besieged by a large number of orcs and would not be able to get out.
Obviously, the first orc to be slain mistakenly underestimated the strength and sophistication of the weapons and equipment of this "coward who only dares to hide in the shadows and fire arrows".
But at the same time, Kordak underestimated the strength of this group of "stupid people who screamed with broken sticks".
Although these orcs are not masters, they are also experienced orc warriors no matter how they say, and they are naturally not opponents compared to Kordak alone, but it is already the limit of Kordak to deal with three people, and now Kordak's old injury has recurred and he is facing four orcs alone, and it is already a miracle that the situation has not appeared one-sided.
In fact, these orcs were also very shocked by the bravery shown by Kordak, the orcs wanted to be known for their bravery and fearlessness, but the human in front of them, who was taller than them, not only did they have a good hand of dark arrows, but they were even more fierce in the head-to-head confrontation.
Hardac's injury, Kordak's style of fighting is a way of fighting for the fullest, and the orcs have only seen it in the bravest and strongest of their own tribe and the fastest to die.
The fanatical believers who swore to give their souls to the orc gods fought almost desperately for their own death, and the orcs, who felt themselves to be a proud warrior, were also fearful when confronted by berserkers who saw death as a sacrifice.
At this moment, Kordak behaved like an orc berserker, which made their attack a little intimidating, but even so, dealing with four orcs at the same time was far beyond Kordak's ability.
Although the orcs were rudimentary, they were extremely powerful, and Kordak had changed to more agile but weaker chain mail in order to use two-handed swords, so in just a few minutes of the encounter, Kordak already had a lot of wounds on his body. There were bruises from blunt blows, several bloody holes from maces, and his back was also cut by an orc with a stone axe, blood continued to flow out, and what was worse was that Kordak's right rib became bloody again, almost the same as when he was first injured.
With such a serious injury, a normal person would have passed out long ago, but I don't know if it was because of Kordak's strong health or other reasons, he was still brave and powerful in the fight, as if he was not hurt at all.
But the four orcs were not in a hurry, their fighting style seemed quite conservative, although this made the orcs feel humiliated, but they also had to admit that this was the best choice at the moment.
Kordak's consciousness had begun to blur, and he didn't know how long he would last, but when he caught a glimpse of the rear behind him, he realized that Vera and the rest of the orcs were gone.
Kordak didn't see Regnar rescuing Vera, and he didn't know what was going on, but after seeing the orc captain's body, Kordark's heart gradually relaxed.
"Regner, this kid came again, or did someone else come to help?, and what about Vera, was she rescued?" Cordak was now full of questions, but the scene in front of him had already overwhelmed him, how could he think about it?
But even if the question flashed through his mind, Kordak's figure paused, and an orc on his right seized the opportunity to swing his stone hammer and slammed it into the wound on Kordak's right rib.
"Uhh
The four orcs took advantage of the victory to pursue, and just as they were about to deliver a fatal blow to Kordak, who was seriously injured and fell to the ground, three arrows with strong fighting spirit suddenly attacked them at the same time.
Unlike orcs, human beings' night vision is much stronger than them, so when Kordaq released dark arrows at orcs, although the orcs didn't know where Kordaq was, Vera could judge a general location, after all, she was the best archer in the mercenary team, and Kordak's archery skills were also taught by her.
So Vera didn't run away immediately after being rescued by Regnar, but ran to the place where Kordak had been ambushed, and she spent a small amount of time finding the bow and arrow and quiver that Kordak had thrown on the ground, and then began to attack the orcs besieging Kordak with the fiercest blow.
Vera was worried about Kordak's life and death at the moment, so the moment she picked up her bow and arrows, she drew all the armor-piercing arrows in the quiver and used the strongest archery within her ability.
"Wind and Arrows" is Vera's father's famous local archery fighting technique, this kind of archery will shoot multiple arrows at once, each arrow has its own fighting spirit attached to it and adjust the direction according to the strength of the fighting spirit, these arrows can be accurately shot at everyone, or you can cross the arc in the air to completely target the same person.
Vera's father once shot four arrows at once, and Vera was able to shoot three arrows at the same time after years of hard training, although she did not reach her father's level.
Three armor-piercing arrows accurately hit the heads of three orcs, and even though Kordak was seriously wounded and lay on the ground, he couldn't help but feel proud that his woman had killed three enemies at once.
Then an arrow pierced the head of the fourth orc half a second later. Although Kordak's archery skills are not bad, there is still a very big gap compared to Vera, who has been practicing hard for many years. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that these four arrows surprised everyone, the four orcs probably wouldn't have died so simply.
"How are you?" said Vera, who hurried out of the bushes, nervously looking at the man who was covered in bruises for herself.
"Regnar saved you?" asked Kordak with difficulty.
"Well, he killed the orc captain and rescued me, and the other orcs went after him. Vera said as she took out the healing potion from Kordak's backpack and healed him.
"Leave me alone, go to support Xiao Lei first. Kordaq drank a bottle of healing potion and said nothing but that, and then he couldn't support it anymore and fell into a coma.
Vera looked at Kordak, who was seriously injured and unconscious, although she had already drunk the healing potion, but such a serious injury was unable to make her relax with just a bottle of healing potion, to be honest, it was a miracle that Kordak could survive such a serious injury until now.
But thinking that Xiao Lei was facing three orcs at the same time at the moment, Vera felt anxious. Kordak drank two healing potions, Selenos used one, and one that Regnar used to make a potion of sobriety used a third of it.
If Kordak had been seriously injured, he would have had to use Regner's topical application, and now only one of the last full healing potions remained.
Vera took the last bottle of semi-healing potion with her, then picked up her bow and arrows and drew a dagger from Cordak's boots, and chased after Regnar in the direction of his escape.
