Chapter 267: The First Solo Charge
"What's going on in the east? Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Sitting on a chair that still smelled of wood, Qi'er played with the short blade in his hand with his face with one hand and the other hand, crossed his little feet, and asked with a cold face.
In front of her, there were two giants several times taller than her, two veterans who had followed Alice to fight the world from the beginning, but at this time, the two Cyclops brothers did not have the slightest intention of putting on a show in front of Qi'er, but bent over very respectfully, looking very respectful.
There is no way to stop them from being disrespectful, not to mention that their master sees Qi'er's favor in his eyes, let's just say that from the perspective of strength, the girl who is flexible and skilled and has a violent toxin in her body is simply the natural enemy of these giant creatures, as long as she does not reach the legendary stage, and there is no existence with a strong body and strong vitality like Bimon, she will not be able to resist the girl's toxin, if they really clash, although Qir will not kill them like a mammoth on the battlefield in Scandinavia, but at least the suffering will definitely not be lessγ
These two cyclops have been following Alice for a long time, and their muscular and metallic heads are slightly open, so they can also think about some not too complicated questions on their own, and see through some simple human feelings and eyes, so they face Qi'er...... They, at least on the surface, would have treated the girl the same way they had treated Alice.
"Miss Kiel...... No, Mistress Qiel. β
Seeing that the girl's face turned ugly black, Garnko immediately changed his words, he knew that because of Semiramis, he didn't like to be called Miss by others, which would make her feel that Miramis was of low status, at least this feeling Chill would never like.
"Miss Qiel, to the east, in the hills to the east, we have found traces of orcs. β
"Orcs?"
Hearing the name of this familiar race, the calm on Qi'er's face could no longer be maintained, she stopped turning the short blade in her hand, sat up straight, straightened her waist, and looked at Garenzo and Garnko solemnly.
"Is the news confirmed?"
"Yes, Miss Qil has been identified, and we have been in contact with them. β
Garenzo added on the side, the reckless Cyclops brother has become a little smarter after so many years, at least in front of Alice and the other three girls, he is no longer as smug and open-mouthed as before.
"How's it going?"
"We killed three centaurs, and those guys weren't much better, it just so happened that the ice giants were hunting nearby, heard the news, rushed in for reinforcements, and finally left four orc warriors behind. β
"Orc ......"
Kills left as he put his hands behind his back and began pacing back and forth.
Dead centaurs were slaves purchased from goblins, and were very good warriors and herdsmen, if you didn't care about the foul smell of these centaurs and their rude nature...... It was only during this time, during the construction of Schleswig, that Qil bought a full three hundred centaur slaves from these goblin merchants, of which there were only about twenty male adult centaurs, and the rest were women who were able to give birth and children who were still growing, and as for the old and the sick, these wasted food and wasted materials, and the goblins would not sell them as commodities.
Three adult male centaurs can already occupy almost one-tenth of the number in Qi's hands, and without three stallions to sow seeds, the centaur colony will be reduced by about thirty newborns next year...... This was a great loss for Qil, considering that the price of male centaurs was much more expensive than that of female centaurs, thanks to the chaos caused by the frost giants in the north and the war caused by Attila, the whole of the north ...... Whether it's centaurs, orcs, or even more jackals, males are beginning to become a scarce resource in their tribes, and the purchase of an adult male costs at least five to six times the price of an ordinary female, and the price will only be higher if it is purchased from these treacherous earth-tight hands.
However, compared to the loss caused by the death of these three adult centaurs, Qir was more concerned about the appearance of the orcs, she did not know all the news, knew the doom of the orcs in Attila's army, although she wondered why there were a large number of orc slaves in the goblin team, but because she did not have a good impression of the orcs, so she did not buy at all, of course, she did not know the specific situation about the orcs, so now, when she met these orcs, the girl's first reaction was that the Atila army had appeared in Schleswigγ
"That's not good news......"
Qi'er muttered in a low voice, although she still maintained a very calm and confident appearance in front of others, but in her heart she had begun to be anxious. After experiencing the battlefield in Scandinavia, the purple-haired girl did not make her complacent and arrogant about successfully killing those mammoths, because after seeing the scenes of those legendary powerhouses fighting each other, she also had a clear positioning for herself...... With her outstretched hand and the poison brought by the highly toxic divinity in her body, she can fight ordinary legends, and may even be able to use the other party's paralysis to inflict heavy damage, but there is no doubt that if she really faces those knights and dragons, Qir will never survive.
"Orcs, orcs, orcs. β
"It's just orcs?"
Ciel looked up from his deep thought and looked at Garenzo.
"Yes, only the orcs, no encounter with their shamans, nor with their wolf cavalry troops. β
"If you encounter a shaman or a wolf rider who moves in a flexible squad, not even the ice giants will be able to get a favor. β
Garenzo shook his head and told all he knew.
"Miss Qier, don't worry too much, if my brother and I are here......"
"Boom. β
Without hesitation, Garnko used his right fist to shut up his brother, and then casually withdrew his red fist behind his back, without looking at Garenzo, who was unconscious with a large bag on his head, and continued to tell Qir what he had in mind.
"There are no wolf riders and no accompanying shamans, Miss Qiel, perhaps all we encounter are a sporadic tribe of orcs. β
If it was just a few small orc tribes that had not joined the Atila army, then there was no need to alarm the [Old Man of the Mountain] in the swamps to the west Alice, who was negotiating matters, could easily solve them with only the troops in Schleswig now, after all, it was just a small tribe with no shaman and no spellcaster, as for characters like the orc chieftain and the orc legendary shaman, there were only two of the tens of thousands of orcs in the entire northern region, and any small tribe of orcs would not have such a powerful existence at all.
"No, I still have to inform my sister. β
Qiel only thought about Ganko's proposal for five seconds before rejecting it, and she explained as she looked at the reluctance on Ganko's face.
"I know, you don't want to bother your sister because of such a simple matter. β
"But, Garnko, you must know how important Schleswig is to us in Jutland and to my sister, and we cannot take it lightly, no matter how small the risk. β
"Behind a small tribe of orcs, there may be other forces...... Even the Attila, or the knights and dragons of her command, there is no one in Schleswig who can compete with those legends, even if all of us join forces. β
"But, Miss Kir, didn't the goblins bring news? Attila herself led their army to Karelia to purge the frost giants and centaurs who had betrayed them, and how could they still be here......?"
"No, no, it's still not possible, Garnko, even if it's a 1 in 10,000 chance, we can't afford to gamble, I will never allow anyone to ruin my sister's plan, not to mention that Attila is not a simple character, who knows if this is her ploy, let alone ...... What's more, those goblins, those green-skinned and flowery dwarves, can only believe that Attila has gone to the north with all the army, leaving no defense in the rear without any scruples, this is impossible no matter how you think about it, the army led by Mr. Beowulf and Miss Sigourney is in that direction, and Attella is not afraid that when she goes to the north, the Scandinavians will take her back and attack her from both sides with those betrayers?"
At this time, Garnko was no longer speaking, or he could no longer find any words or words to refute Qil.
Seeing that the giant brother was not talking, an innocent smile appeared on the girl's face, as if she was a victorious general who had played the house, and began to shake her long hair that reached her waist.
"Alright, Ganko, go down, stop building the city, get everyone together, distribute weapons and count food, and go to the green dwarfs by the way, and recruit and hire those trolls and ogres, although they are some useless things, but they can still play a little role in the face of the orcs. β
"I need to contact my sister too, and this time there may be unexpected reinforcements......"
Garnko nodded, grabbing Garnzo's left foot with one hand and dragging him out of the hall with such a rough drag, the sound of the wooden door closing echoed through the hall, and the place was left alone.
At this time, countless images flashed in the purple-haired girl's mind, the picture of herself crying in the deserted village, the picture of crying alone in the corner because she couldn't complete the training, the picture of being overwhelmed when the blood stained her hands red for the first time, the picture of killing a companion who could communicate during training, the picture of being scared by those training instructors and being isolated by everyone...... and the final image of a man in a skull mask wrapped in black.
Although it was the first time to face such a situation, facing such a situation alone, but the girl's strain and rhetoric and the ability to dominate his subordinates were very good, at least much better than Alice's forced use of slave contracts at the beginning, using fear and force to control his subordinates, to carry out a word hall.
However, it is obvious that she is still very immature, she has not obtained more detailed information before thinking about countermeasures, maybe because the information of [Hassan] and [Old Man in the Mountain] disturbed her mind, maybe because the possible situation of Atira made her panic, all the information behind it has no evidence, and it is all based on the situation of a few orcs who appear here to speculate out of thin air...... It's true that there's nothing wrong with being careful, but there's no need to be too cautious with Qi'er.
If she could go to the goblins to get the news of the north, if she could go to the scene of the battle to inspect the corpses herself, if she could check the corpses of the orcs who had no weapons or equipment on them, if the girl could go in the direction of the orcs and investigate them herself...... Then everything is different again.
When Alice and the two [Hassan], [Baichang] and [Belden] rushed through the swamp back to the Schleswig, where the underground water channel had just been built, Alice realized that the situation was not as bad as the girl had guessed...... Under Alice's investigation, everything quickly came to light, and the orcs who had met before were indeed from an orc tribe, the largest tribe of orcs, the one with two legendary tribes, the orc chieftain and the orc shaman, and it was for this reason that they
In the previous two wars, the worst victims of the purges that followed, less than five adult male orcs of the entire tribe survived, and the rest were the old, weak, sick and disabled.
In its heyday, the largest orc tribe with 30,000 armor and 100,000 tribesmen is now less than 500 people left, and finally crossed the Baltic Sea to this warm spring-like place...... Who knew that reality gave them a slap in the face, and the only five males left died in one day, leaving only the last lone seedling, and even worse, it was the Ice Giant, and the Ice Giant ...... In the impression of the orcs, no matter which side the ice giant belongs to, facing the orcs is only the identity of the enemy.
