Chapter 57 Gambling or Not Gambling

Arthur's warriors had their first good night's sleep in days, but the orc camp had slept.

All thanks to the orc captives that Arthur had deliberately left alive.

Two of the orc captives were pried open, and Arthur finally understood why they were in hot pursuit.

Behind Arthur and the others were a search party of orcs. The team is made up of the three-eyed canines and ocelots who are good at tracking, and once they have locked on the location of the Terran cavalry regiment, they can track them all the way without showing their faces and relying only on their traces and scents.

Moreover, there are high-level orc priests in this team, similar to the communication magic of the human race, and the high-level priests can use the power of totems to connect with each other. It was in this way that the orcs passed on the location of the Arthurian cavalry regiment all the way.

The priest who received information about the location of the Terran cavalry would order the nearby orc tribe to intercept or pursue Arthur. For example, the orc team that came to send them to death today came from an orc tribe not far downstream from the riverbank.

As Arthur and the others stopped to rest, a priest with the Lion King's Order came to the tribe and demanded that all the orcs in the tribe who could fight must take up arms and attack the Terran cavalry who had just settled on the riverbank.

The lion king's order is an irresistible decree for the orcs, and those who do not obey the beastmaster's order will be overcut by the Manchus.

As for whether these orcs can survive the attack on the Terran cavalry, it is not within the consideration of the orc priests at all, as long as they can drag the Terran cavalry and cause them losses, they don't care about the ordinary orcs who sacrifice more.

After priing open the orc captive's confession, Arthur and Golly immediately took the officers above the rank of lieutenant and secretly turned back the same way.

Arthur and the others found this orc pursuit party fifteen miles behind the cavalry regiment, and if it weren't for those orc captives, Arthur and the others would never have imagined that the orcs would be able to follow him from such a distance.

There weren't many orcs in pursuit, and they didn't expect the Terran cavalry to suddenly turn back and be caught off guard by Arthur.

After a fierce battle, including the two high-ranking orc priests, not a single orc in the entire orc pursuit team ran out.

After dealing with the tail, Arthur led the warriors into the orc tribe downstream of the river bank overnight. There were only a few tribes of orcs left, young and old, who had no power to resist in front of the hideous Terran cavalry.

Considering that the orc priests had already come to this tribe to give orders, they would not come to this tribe again in a short time, and this place became the safest place.

After setting up the sentry posts, the soldiers were finally able to lie down and rest. But the armor could not be taken off, and the weapons were placed in the nearest place at hand, and the repeated battles made the warriors already get up and fight or move at any time.

The soldiers slept, but Arthur and Golly could not, and taking advantage of this rare time of calm, they had to discuss the next step of the cavalry regiment in advance.

Although Huey is the core, he never participates in the discussion of decision-making, and at this time, he sits next to him and closes his eyes to cultivate his fighting spirit.

Arya was there too, but she had just sat down for a while and fell asleep holding her legs, she had been too tired lately.

Arthur took a leather blanket from his ring and gently placed it over Arya.

Golly didn't say anything in her eyes, but there was an inexplicable irritability in her heart.

"The orcs will soon catch up again, we must determine the next plan of action in advance, can't we be chased by the orcs like a headless fly like this?" Golie didn't realize it, because of the irritability, the tone of her voice was a little tough.

"Although we have taken some detours in the past few days, the general direction has not changed, and we have to withdraw to the border area. ”

"No, we can't retreat in the direction of the border. Fools would have guessed that we were about to flee back, the orcs must have opened their pockets long ago, and we would have faced greater danger in the past. ”

"But the place I agreed with Leon is over there. ”

"Do you really believe in that lion man at a time like this, and I'm afraid he won't be able to protect himself under Elliot's wrath, right?"

Arthur smiled bitterly, "Now I can only trust him, the orcs of the entire wasteland are looking for us, and without the help of the orcs, we won't be able to last long and be wiped out." ”

Golly was silent, indeed as Arthur said, if there is no internal response, it would be tantamount to a fantasy for these hundreds of them to kill all the way back to the Terran region.

After a while, Golly raised her head, stared at Arthur in a slow tone and said, "Do you know?

For the first time, Arthur felt that the burden on his shoulders was so heavy, what would he have done if Captain Keynes was there?

Arthur suddenly stood up, "You're right, I can gamble with my own life, but I can't gamble with the lives of the warriors!"

......

A simple stockade, located under a leeward hill, is rare in the stockade according to the orcs, and there is not even a guard at the gate of the wall.

In the barren orc wasteland, there are many such orc camps.

On the innermost side of the stockade, a low wooden house next to the hill, pushed open the leaky wooden door, but the room suddenly opened up, as if it was a long and narrow hall dozens of meters long.

It turned out that the hill behind the wooden house had been chiseled open, and the wooden house became the best cover for the entrance to the hill cave.

Leon sat in a daze on his chair with his chin dragged, and several loyal subordinates such as Shara, Midwinter, and One-Eyed were there, but no one spoke.

"Do you all think I shouldn't care about those Terran soldiers right now?" Leon suddenly looked up at a few of his men.

"That old lion is really anxious this time, now the wasteland is densely covered with the eyes of the Golden Lion Family, those Terran cavalry will be finished sooner or later! We will jump out to help them now, and we will definitely fall into it!" One-Eyed was the first to stand up and make a statement.

"I think One-Eyed is right, Elliot is getting angry right now, and if we meddle in this, we'll be immediately targeted. Midwinter, who rarely spoke, also spoke.

"What about you?" Leon turned his gaze to Shara.

Shara showed a hesitant expression, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Although we promised Arthur before, but now Elliot's reaction has far exceeded our previous estimates, and I think it is too dangerous to come into contact with the Terrans now." ”

Leon nodded slightly, "You're right, any smart orc knows what to do in this situation, not to mention the damned Terrans who need our help?"

One-Eyed, Shala, and the others nodded their heads.

"When I was young, my mother taught me that to become a true orc warrior you need to have courage and the courage to defeat opponents who are stronger than yourself. If Elliot is angry and I choose to hide, do you think I will have the courage to stand in front of him and challenge him in the future?" Leon spoke in an unusually calm voice, but these two words struck the hearts of every orc.

Leon continued: "It's a gamble, and if I choose not to help Arthur, we won't lose anything. If I choose to make a move, we will encounter a great danger, and if we win by chance, the benefits are also huge, are you willing to gamble with me?"
