Chapter 13: Orcs
In the early morning, the sun rises again outside.
In the sunlight, Adil rode a horse and led several people, quietly patrolling the surroundings.
After a while, he returned to the camp where he was stationed, and saw the soldiers gathered in the camp.
He subconsciously frowned, stopped a person passing by, and inquired about the situation with him.
"Someone from the front has returned, and it is said that the orcs have been spotted, and Lord Flal is gathering warriors to go there to suppress them. The soldier recounted what he knew with respect on his face before hurriing away.
Adil was stunned for a moment, then turned to look ahead.
The combat power in the camp has basically been gathered, not only the elites brought by Flal from the castle, but also some of the apprentice knights originally stationed here, all of whom are in the ranks of the recruits.
There are still some warriors outside who are coming back one after another, all of them are like Adier, who were sent to patrol the surrounding area some time ago, and they are all coming back intermittently at this time.
Looking at this posture, Adil sighed secretly in his heart, and without much hesitation, he rode directly to the front.
He saw Flal standing in front of him with the patrol team, still wearing the pale black armor, and still looking so powerful.
As if sensing Adil's gaze, the other party turned halfway, looked at Adiel's side, and nodded lightly at him.
Looking around, Adil consciously walked to the side of the queue, where there were all cadet knights like Adil.
He looked everywhere, and Dill was inside, his face was more serious than ever, and he didn't dare to relax at all.
Some time had passed, and when the recalled had almost returned to the team, Flal began to assign the team.
This time, the task is to suppress the orcs, and judging from the information we know so far, the strength of this group of orcs is not weak, and it is inevitable that a large part of the combat power will need to be transferred to the past.
But the camp must not be left unmanned, and during the time of departure, there must also be someone to guard it from the bandits and wildlings from the north from entering the territory to the south.
Of course, for Adiel, none of this really has anything to do with him.
··········
A few days later, in the middle of the wilderness, Adil quietly followed the troops in front of him, gradually marching forward.
"After walking this way, after walking for half a day, you will arrive at that area. ”
Walking to this area and looking at the team behind him, Flal suddenly spoke: "Let our people speed up, within today, we must get there." ”
With a command, the speed of the procession increased again.
But looking at this situation, Adil frowned.
In an unknown location, leading a team to move forward at such a fast speed is not an ordinary consumption of physical strength, and if there is an accident, it will be easy to be frustrated.
The whole team was not all cavalry, and most of the soldiers were actually on foot.
In this world, although the physical fitness of a warrior is much stronger than that of people in previous lives, they will also feel tired after walking under the sun for such a long time.
Through his keen hearing, Adil had faintly heard the faint sound of violent gasps coming from the surrounding warriors from time to time.
"Let's hope there aren't any accidents. He rode his horse and looked at the rough road ahead, thinking to himself.
Walking through here, near noon, I arrived at the bottom of a certain mountain, and the surroundings suddenly began to be quiet.
This abnormal situation has attracted everyone's attention.
Flal rode a tall white horse, looked at the surrounding terrain, and said with some doubts: "What about the people we sent out to inspect before?
"Not yet. A voice behind him responded, and there was also some confusion in his tone.
Hearing this, Flal subconsciously frowned, the corners of his mouth opened, and he wanted to say something.
Sou!
At this moment, an inexplicable voice suddenly sounded.
Adier's eyes shrank sharply, and he felt extremely familiar with this sound: "This is, the sound of arrows breaking through the air?"
The thought flashed through his mind for a moment, and his head instinctively lifted up to see the arrows in the sky at this moment.
Strong physical fitness and the instinct for long-term training worked in the first place.
Before the others could react, Adil subconsciously took a shield hanging on his horse, and then used force under his feet, jumped fiercely, and returned to the earth in an instant.
He swung his left hand forward, the shield he was holding knocked the arrows in front of him away, and then he had the heart to look around.
The horse on which he was sitting was gone, and was pierced into the horse's body by a dozen arrows, and he fell to the ground wailing.
Others are similar.
Those trainee knights are okay, although they are taken care of, but their own quality is much stronger, and their reaction ability is not bad, only a few unlucky ghosts have been recruited.
The ordinary warriors were much more miserable.
Compared to the trainee knights, these ordinary warriors are not only much slower to react, but also have worse equipment, and some warriors do not even have a crude leather armor on their bodies, and once they are hit, the fate will be very miserable.
Adil noticed that the arrows of the arrows were distinctly tinged with a dark green tinge, most likely soaked in some kind of poison.
At the front of the line, Flal had a cold face, the long sword in his hand had been drawn, and his eyes were staring at the front with great prestige.
In the surroundings, in a previously quiet place, a muffled sound sounded.
Ahead, in the silent mountain forest, one by one orcs dressed in simple animal skin robes, with hideous faces, and about two meters tall, walked out of there, each with a bloodthirsty and violent aura.
Compared to humans, these orcs have gray skin, are much more powerful, and generally carry heavy weapons, which is enough to make people feel frightened.
"S· Ra Meng. ”
An inexplicable roar came from the mouths of these orcs.
Without any extra words or communication, at the beginning of the meeting, the orcs raised their weapons and rushed forward.
The front was violently shaking, and this group of orcs was very direct, taking advantage of the moment when Adil and the others had not yet reacted, and launched an attack, without giving them any time to arrange.
Suddenly, almost all the warriors, including Flal, changed color.
"Something is wrong!" At this moment, Adiel's heart shook suddenly: "There are so many orcs, almost a small orc tribe, how can they come here without any news?"
The social structure of orcs is not the same as that of humans, and most of them are made up of tribes that only unite when necessary.
Excluding those old and weak women and children, as well as females, often a normal orc tribe can really show up warriors, usually only a few hundred.
And in front of Adiel's eyes, this dense number of orc warriors was at least three or four hundred.
Before they had time to think too much, the orcs in front of them roared in a language that Adil didn't understand, waving the weapons in their hands and rushing towards them.
Faced with this situation, no matter what he thought in his heart before, he could only pull out the weapons in his hands and fight these orcs now.
Adil's apprentice knights were clearly taken care of by these orcs.
These Cadet Knights were much more threatening than ordinary warriors, and they often wore better armor and weapons, more conspicuous than ordinary warriors.
Even because of his age, Adil looked weaker among these trainee knights, but at this time, he was surrounded by several tall orc warriors, looking at him with hideous expressions.
Looking at the orc warrior who came back in front of him, Adier's face did not move, holding a silver shield one meter long and wide in his left hand, and his right hand reached out to his waist and touched the cross sword there.
Click!
A crisp shattering sound sounded, bringing up a red trail of blood.
In front of Adil, the tall orc warrior stared at Adil in front of him with his eyes open, as if he couldn't believe that he would be defeated so quickly.
A huge metal battle axe slammed down on Adil, only to be held back by a silver shield.
Adil felt the power coming from the shield in his left hand, and his originally nervous mood completely calmed down.
These orcs appear to be strong and powerful, and they are, but they are not as good as Adil.
Adil estimates that the strength of these ordinary orc warriors is about 1.5, and their agility and system are slightly stronger than ordinary people. In terms of physical fitness, it is completely comparable to the elite warriors of the human race, but it is inferior to the trainee knight, let alone Adil.
A cold light flashed through the air, and with a wave of great power, a huge head of an orc flew out.
Adil turned around, and without hesitation, he slashed down a few swords, blocking the attack of the remaining orcs beside him.
He rushed forward, and the few orcs in front of him didn't react at all, still maintaining their original movements, and the cross sword in his hand pierced his chest, and his body fell towards the ground behind him.
Roar!!
A low roar came from behind Adier, and the whistling of weapons dancing quickly reached Adiel's ears.
He subconsciously shifted his left hand backwards, and the shield he was holding collided with a giant sword.
Touch!!
A violent impact sounded, and a strong force surged towards the body.
Adil only felt a sore hand and took a few steps back before looking behind him.
It was an orc warrior who was much taller than ordinary orcs, not only was he nearly two meters five tall, but he was also wearing a rough leather armor, and he was half-kneeling on the ground at this time, as if he had suffered some losses from the impact just now.
This is an orc warrior, a member of the orcs with a strong physique, whose combat power is already equivalent to that of a trainee knight.
It seemed that because Adil had been too good before, several orc warriors with weapons in their hands slowly surrounded him.
