The Orc Wasteland, in the middle of a sparse pine forest.

Arthur's warriors tied the silver-horned stag to the trunk of a tree and sat down in groups of three or five to rest under the tree.

In order not to be locked in by the orcs, Arthur and his cavalry regiment never stayed in one place for a long time, most of the time they were on the move, on the back of the stag, and the warriors had long since learned to take advantage of all the time they had left to rest.

Taking advantage of the rest time of the soldiers, Arthur was summoning the officers of the cavalry regiment above the rank of squad leader to a meeting concerning the fate of the cavalry regiment.

Arthur stood under a tall tree, and more than fifty officers sat in five rows in front of him, each looking at Arthur with respect and admiration.

This young captain conquered every soldier and officer of the cavalry regiment with his actions, and these days Arthur led them to sack more than a dozen orc tribes, large and small, killing thousands of orc warriors, while the cavalry regiment itself suffered no more than forty casualties, and no human human officer could achieve such a record in the battle against the orcs before.

Especially in the previous battle with Leon the Lion, Arthur's powerful martial arts impressed every warrior, defeating the descendants of the Golden Lion Family and forcing back the opposing army, which was enough for any Terran officer to show off.

"There's one thing I'd like to ask for your opinion on, and I'm not going to force you to join me on an adventure if you don't want to participate. Arthur didn't have any foreshadowing and went straight to the point.

"Captain, you don't need to ask for advice, you just give the order directly, you just want to lead the troops into the orc court now, and we will go with you." The monkey stood up and made a statement.

"Captain, give the order. ”

"Captain, just tell me what to do. ”

The officers stood up one after another, and victory after victory made the soldiers of the entire cavalry regiment absolutely trust and obey Arthur.

As soon as Arthur raised his hand, all the voices immediately stopped, this is the army, the order is forbidden.

Arthur smiled with relief, "Sit down and thank you for trusting me, but I have to tell you the whole thing, and then it's up to you to make the choice." ”

After all the officers were seated again, Arthur continued: "You may not know that after the battle with Leon the Lion, I made a deal with him. If we promise to do something for him, he will find a way to help us return to Terran territory in return. ”

As soon as Arthur's words fell, there was a fierce discussion below, and many people could not hide the excitement on their faces. Most of them were captives who had been held captive by the orcs for years, and nothing was more urgent and haunting than the desire to return home.

Buck, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly stood up, "Captain, I don't agree with you making this deal with the orcs. ”

Arthur and the officers below were surprised, not expecting Buck to be the first to stand up against it.

"Captain, those orcs can't be trusted at all, it's likely a ruse they used after their defeat. Buck explained.

"I think Buck has a point, the lion people are the shrewdest of the orcs, and they must not trust the people of the Golden Lion family. Silas had the same concerns as Buck.

After the excitement just now, the officers gradually calmed down and began to think about the possibility of this matter.

"You can rest assured that I have known Leon for many years, and although he is from the Golden Lion Family, he has an irresolvable grudge against Eliot, the current head of the Golden Lion Family. So I can assure you that this deal will never be a trap, and I am confident that he will follow through on his promise. ”

Hearing Arthur say this, Buck and Silas and the others no longer have any disagreement.

"Tell me what the orcs want us to do, the other party's request must not be simple, right?" Jose suddenly thought of the crux of the matter.

Arthur nodded solemnly, "He wants us to help him kill an orc, Hicks, the son of Eliot the Lion." ”

"Ah, you won't let my crow's mouth tell you, are you, are you really going to take us into the orc court?" the monkey's face turned green, "Boss, don't take what I just said seriously!"

Arthur gave the monkey a blank look, "I'm not stupid enough to take the initiative to die. Leon has inside information, Elliot is going to send Hicks to the front to supervise the army, Leon has a way to get Hicks's itinerary, and he wants us to intercept Hicks on the way. ”

"Oh, that's so much easier. The monkey nodded subconsciously.

"Okay, do you know how many guards he has around him?" José next to him knocked the monkey on the head.

"José is right, Hicks itself is not difficult to deal with, according to Leon's intelligence, Hicks is the strength of the fifth and sixth level orc warriors, and the most dangerous aspect of the mission is how to deal with the orc guards around Hicks. ”

"Can't we use the old way? first transfer some of his guards, and then the main cavalry will charge the remaining orc guards. The monkey still fearlessly suggested.

Arthur smiled bitterly and reminded the monkey: "You still don't realize Hicks' identity, although Hicks is not Elliot's only son, but he is the one that the lion king values the most. It is said that Eliot had long intended to identify Hicks as his heir, but there were still internal voices against it. Hicks was sent to the Terran front line to supervise the army this time, because the Lion King intended to train him in the war with the Terran and accumulate political capital for him. ”

"And what is the size of Hicks' convoy?" someone asked below.

"Because it is a secret trip, it is said that the size of the guard is not large, only two orc guards of the centenarian team and some personal guards. ”

"Then we'll be scared of a bird, and we'll kill them all with two charges!" the monkey stood up excitedly.

"Those two hundred-man teams are from the Praetorian Guards of the Orc Royal Court, and they are both third-level orc warriors. In addition, Elliot also deliberately selected fifty golden lion guards from his personal guard to protect his son, and the lowest were fourth-level orc warriors. ”

"Then I'll shoot a bird, and I won't finish it all at once. The monkey sat back awkwardly.

The strength of Arthur's cavalry regiment is only relatively speaking, after all, the vast majority of warriors are only second-level warriors, and they can only catch up with the third-level orcs by relying on their strong equipment and individual strength, but when facing the elite elite golden lion guards among the orcs, they are still only crushed.

"Of course, this is just an ordinary orc guard, as a lion prince, he will definitely have a high-level orc guard by his side, a conservative estimate of two or three orc warriors. It may also ......"

Arthur paused for a long time before he said slowly, "There may also be orc heroes following the guards." ”

Orc hero, that is the pinnacle warrior on a par with the Terran generals.

In the face of the mighty orc heroes, Arthur and his cavalry regiment were weak and vulnerable.

It's simply an impossible task!
