Chapter 46: The Edge of Crisis
On the side of the road parallel to the Duolun River in the Warcraft Forest "Shock Road", there is a forest with an incomparably strong bloody atmosphere.
In the Warcraft Forest, the smell of blood represents danger, violence, and death, and any Warcraft and humans staying in such a place will be very worried and afraid, and the sense of crisis will explode.
However, the parties who had participated or were going to participate in the events in this forest were not at all in line with the emotions they should have had before the danger was about to come.
A small force of eleven orcs, all of them only maintaining a basic sense of vigilance, looked very confident and calm, and their bodies were sturdy and marched towards the direction indicated by the vulture.
The creator of the smell of blood, the Yaksha Demon Wolf, is even more presumptuous, perhaps because it has not eaten for a long time, it still stays where it is, and eats its prey as if it is not in danger.
And the last remaining party, the Burroughs trio, Burroughs stared at the woods with red eyes, his bow and arrows in a very comfortable position, completely ready for battle. And the other two were hiding in another place, and even whispered about something......
"You mean, it was the deputy head of the Guards Demon Guide Legion that a Yaksha demon wolf killed?" Jerome was also a little uncomfortable about the sacrifice of the tank, but it was certainly not as good as Burroughs and Galen, they were a group, and they could already be called a family. Jerome, on the other hand, was only familiar with Burroughs a few days ago, and the tank soldier only knew about it. Jerome wanted to know more about the sacrifice of the tank, and as soon as he changed the new hiding spot with Galen, he began to ask Galen.
"Yes, I saw the unique mark on the back of the Yaksha wolf, and the magic that the mage suffered before he died was also the innate magic of the Yaksha wolf. Galen had a kinship, but when the detachment leader asked him, he had to answer the question.
"The innate magic of the Yaksha wolf?, is it the most ridiculous magic that the world is talking about?" Jerome became more and more curious.
"Yes, that mage at that time, if he was a little wary and dodged the attack of that magic at the beginning, it was actually very easy to escape. ”
"Haha, it's the first time I've heard of someone dying from the innate magic of the Yaksha wolf, and that person is a mage himself. Jerome held back a laugh, he had just died a brother and laughed, it seemed too big, and they were now preparing to ambush the eleven orc soldiers, and if he had been exposed by his laughter, he would have become a sinner.
"Yaksha wolf, Yaksha wolf...... Didn't you sneak up on me and Burroughs before...... Doesn't it mean that the Yaksha Demon Wolf will not easily change the target of its prey......" Jerome guessed correctly, the Yaksha Demon Wolf that was still eating at this time was the one that had attacked them before.
The Yaksha wolf is also very helpless about changing the hunting object, and Burroughs and Jerome are basically doing it in the Warcraft Forest, and it can't climb trees......
"Captain, there's a situation!" Galen suddenly spoke, interrupting Jerome's association.
"Click!" suddenly resounded in the woods with the sound of branches breaking.
Although this kind of sound is common in the woods, but this sound, even the Yaksha demon wolf sounded very abrupt and different, its wolf head stained with a lot of blood was raised at once, the nose on the wolf's head sniffed in the air, and then its whole body moved quickly, and in three or two strokes it got into another pile of dead leaves, a pair of wolf eyes half-squinted through the gap between the dead leaves, looking in the direction where the sound appeared.
The Orc Infantry armor is a modification of the Atlantic Empire's archer armor, so they have a lot of similarities. For example, there is a shield on the left arm, the Atlantan archers are round, and the orc infantry is semi-arc on the long side.
Archers, as ranged units, are definitely weaker in armor protection than melee units such as infantry, especially on the side where the bow is drawn, just a little softer leather. The orcs used this as a model for infantry, and even changed the metal protection at the joints of the limbs to leather, and the officials and experts who supervised the armor of the orcs said that this design was very conducive to the mobility of the infantry......
Don't they know that the infantry often fights the enemy in formation? Don't they know that the joints of the limbs are also the basis of the infantry's ability to act in a battle? When the array is attacking, the limbs are easily injured by the enemy, and even if they survive later, they will lose their combat capability, and the battle damage data can be imagined.
Of course, the above are all comments from the Atlantans who have seen the armor of the orc infantry behind their backs, and the orc infantry has only been changed for less than a year, and it has not yet been tested on the battlefield, so the real effect is not yet known.
After a short while, an orc infantryman wearing such armor stepped out from behind a tree.
The place where he had just left was where the sound of a tree branch breaking came from. Obviously, the sound should have been accidentally made by this infantryman, and by the way he shook his head and sighed, he knew that the leader of this operation had already taught him a lesson in some way, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to show up.
The Yaksha Demon Wolf was disturbed by a dumb-looking man, and he was already uncomfortable. At the same time, as a Yaksha demon wolf who likes yin people, it can make this person so close and not find out, which also makes it a little apprehensive.
"Whoa......" The Yaksha Demon Wolf didn't suppress the negative emotions in his heart, and howled unconsciously in a low voice. After screaming, he sniffed hard, but only the thick smell of blood was smelled, and the uneasy feeling immediately crept all over its entire body, which made its hair stand on end.
Look at the orc infantryman, it's nervous too, anyone exposed to dangerous conditions.
Despite his nervousness, the infantryman used his usual training skills. I saw that he was as low as possible without affecting his walking, raising his arm shield with his left arm facing forward, and holding the infantry's standard weapon, Ge, with his right hand behind his back, and leaning it against his side.
In this way, he can minimize the area of his body exposed to the enemy's attack, and at the same time, when attacked, he can not only quickly protect his head, neck, heart and other vital points, but also make a relatively quick counterattack - stabbing the right hand forward and backward, which is more convenient.
At the same time, he also made a search movement forward, and on the way he planned to find shelter, trees, hollows and even large rocks became his cover, and when he encountered an open area, he ran through it quickly.
"It's a little tricky, a little infantryman, so well trained. The actions of this orc infantry were completely seen by the three Burroughs, and Jerome sighed and admired this, only feeling that it would be extremely difficult to destroy the eleven orc squads, and thinking that their goal was to stop the entire orc army......
"Galen, don't you think we're too confident to be confident?"
"What did you say, Captain?" Jerome's voice was too low for Galen to hear.
“...... It's nothing...... I mean, the orc's hazard zone advancement tactics are pretty standard, and you need to write them down. ”
"Yes! ”
“......”
"Squad leader, team leader is making tactical instructions. ”
"Really? I'll see...... Silence, how does he know we're chatting, well, and pay attention to the front left and front right...... I'll take a look, left front...... Well, they're all here, even the infantry is so powerful!"
"Captain, where are they? Why didn't I find out?"
"Look at the branch in front of you on the left, it's windless, there's a dent in the ground with a scratch on the side, there's a footprint!"
"The team leader is so powerful, don't you say I really haven't seen it...... Captain, there's something I don't know if I should talk about......" Galen suddenly snorted a little.
"Say!" replied Jerome crisply.
"That...... The tank's corpse was still under the tree over there. ”
"Which tree?what!The corpse of the tank is still underneath?!" Jerome was really shocked, now the orc team, it is obvious that it is scattered and advancing forward, in case an orc soldier searches for the corpse of the tank, and uses the corpse as a threat, then he can only take the initiative to attack, and the ambush battle will become a hard fight,......
Not to mention, Jerome had actually discovered the whereabouts of five orcs, and three of them were still only suspicious, not certain.
"Ambush turned into ambush?" In less than a minute, Jerome had already imagined their end in his mind, and the hope of victory was even slimmer......
"The corpse of the tank is too heavy, and I was afraid that I would be too far away from the agreed point to meet you......" Galen bowed his head knowing that he had done something wrong.
"Alas...... It's okay, let's take it one step at a time...... "That's the case, and Jerome can't help it.
Jerome, who had already germinated the mentality of being able to kill one, stopped talking and continued to look at the orc infantryman who was obviously being used as a decoy by the orc leader.
It seems that this orc infantryman is also very competent to play the role of decoy, although he often hides behind cover, but unlike other orcs, he needs to look very carefully to find a little "shadow", he uses the tactical movement of rushing, while ensuring that it is easy to be detected by unknown enemies, but also tries to protect himself.
After a few pounds of twists and turns, the orc infantry finally reached the place where the smell of blood emanated - the place where the Yaksha demon wolf ate.
He looked around and into the trees around him for a while, and then cautiously stepped forward.
He saw the scraps of flesh and blood all over the floor, as well as the mutilated corpses that had not yet been eaten.
Even if he was a well-trained elite infantryman, when he saw this scene that looked like a slaughterhouse, he was also sick to his stomach, which made his hands, which insisted on a defensive posture all the way, reveal flaws!
