Chapter 4: The Misty Swamp

The little boy named Macarus was really special, but that was something we only learned later.

Over the next few days, we, the Demon Hunters, and the Iron Wolf Mercenary Regiment, patrolled the perimeter of the camp in search of traces of the dark forces in the Misty Swamp.

It was my turn to patrol the western part of the camp with Ivena, while Avina was on patrol with Lother.

The reason why the misty swamp is called the misty swamp is because of the large temperature difference between the surface and the underground all year round, the hot gas evaporates and turns into water vapor, and a large amount of mist is condensed.

So it's easy to get lost and separated in the misty swamp, and Iwena and I are inseparable for fear of getting separated.

"Are you from Venesia?"

"No, my family lives in a small village near the Forest of Thorns, and I'm a Wood Elf. Ivena said without any concealment

Although the comparison between wood elves and high elves sounds a bit like the poor and the rich among humans, after all, the discrimination between elves is very light.

Ivena's appearance may be ordinary among elves, but she is definitely one of the best beauties among humans. I think her figure and skills are her greatest assets, and her skills are much more agile and flexible than Avina.

Not to mention her figure, she has a fight with Nataya.

Maybe I was a little embarrassed to look at her, but Iwena never dared to make eye contact with me.

"Do you humans like to stare at girls like that?" said Evenna

"I'm just appreciating and not having any other thoughts. ”

"If you had any other ideas, my bow and arrow would have been unkind. Ivena gestured to me

On the other hand, Avina and Lother are together.

"This beautiful young lady, it is really an honor to be in the team with you. "Lother followed Avina like a pug

"The way you look now reminds me of a sled dog I used to have, and his name was Sim. Avina said with a slight disgust

"And where is it now?"

"It made a pact with me and became my summoned beast. Avina said

"You're not going to turn me into a summon too. Lother was a little timid, but looked at Avina

I have to say that Avina has changed a lot over the years. From the waitress in the Green Dragon Tavern at the beginning, to the helpless girl on the nameless island, to the lonely archer in the bloody castle later, to the battle-hardened female mercenary now.

"Not yet, but it depends on your performance. Avina said with a smile

"That's good. Lother broke out in a cold sweat

We searched like this for about three days, but we still didn't have a clue.

Until the fourth day, when Lother hurried back to the camp alone, most of the others had not gone out to search, so they were basically in the camp.

Lother gasped and said that something was wrong, that they were in a situation, and that Avina called him back for help.

I was immediately worried about Avina, and I told everyone to go with Lother to help Avina immediately.

Lother led us to the southwest side of the camp, where we finally saw Avina. I saw that she was struggling to support her, and there was an orc who we didn't know fighting side by side with him.

I've only heard of the orc race before, but I've never really seen the orcs with my own eyes.

Now that I see the appearance of the orcs with my own eyes, I am still quite shocked in my heart.

The orc's green skin, tall and burly figure, protruding fangs at the corners of the mouth, and explosive muscles all over the body. In particular, under the crotch of this orc, there was also a snow-white giant wolf, and the giant wolf was very agile and fierce.

The orc and Avina were facing back, and they were surrounded by another group of red-skinned orcs who were not riding a giant wolf.

These red-skinned orcs are supposed to be the legendary evil orcs, they were originally the martyrs of the orcs who died in battle, but they were corrupted by the unknown demonic aura of the misty swamp, and became the monsters they are now.

Without saying a word, a few of us rushed forward.

Frant and I rushed to the front, and I raised my sword of punishment and slashed at the orc in front of me. To my surprise, these orcs had no substance. The moment the orc was slashed by the Sword of Punishment, it turned into a cloud of black gas and dissipated into the mist.

My sword missed, and it nearly dodged my waist. It reminds me of that Ghost Rider in Pohope a few years ago.

Seeing this, Frant did not rush forward, but blocked me with a shield.

At this moment, the vanished orc suddenly appeared in front of us again. Nataya's fireball had flown behind us and smashed down on the orc.

Without exception, these orcs are also immune to magic. The fireball passed through the orc's body as if through a cloud of smoke, and landed on the swamp behind the orc.

All of a sudden, everyone attacked the nine evil orcs who surrounded Avina and the strange orc.

The orc was unscathed, but a mercenary was hit by a giant axe in the orc's hand, and his whole person was cut in half.

It was then that Mayfair remembered an ancient summoning magic.

"Undead dispelled!" Mayfair said a complex incantation

I saw a white light, and the group of evil orcs disappeared in an instant, but Mayfair was weakly half-crouched on the ground.

"Great!" the mercenaries cheered

I'm also very happy because Avina is not injured.

After burying the mercenary's body, everyone headed for the camp. The orc followed us, and Avina told us how she had met him.

She was on patrol with Lother when they heard the sound of weapons clashing, and they followed the sound and spotted the orc.

Back at the camp, the orc placed the wolf outside the camp gate, as the mercenaries did not agree to let the wolf in.

The orcs followed Evina to the commander's tent, where he met Faennes.

"It's you? ”

"Faennes, I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

As soon as the two of them met, they came to a warm hug, which made us stunned, we really didn't expect that Faense still had orc friends.

Baturu told Faense the purpose of his journey through the Misty Swamp, and that he had come to find reinforcements. He also told Faenth about the devastation that had befallen the Orc Lands and the disregard of the humans of the Moonblade Fortress.

There is also their team of wolf knights, now he is the only one left, and everyone has died on this journey, and the misty swamp is really full of dangers. There are not only evil orcs, but also other dangers.

In short, Baturu is happy to meet his old friend again.

That day, Baturu had a full meal at the camp and talked to Faennes late in the evening.
