Chapter 166: Heraldry

In order to facilitate the hunting operation and open the battle line to block the orc army, the advance army set up a total of seven strongholds west of Luofeng Mountain, close to the steppe. In this way, it is used to gather men and horses, distribute bounties, and heal the wounds and rest.

The predecessor of these seven strongholds was the residence of the seven town guards arranged by the Wind Wolf Alliance on the western border of the Wind Wolf Alliance.

In the past, each of the seven strongholds was home to two or three powerful beast tamers, watching over the prairie and monitoring every move of the orc clan, forming a cordon.

Riding the Iron Feather Golden Eye Eagle, Qin Ping soon came to the No. 3 stronghold.

Directly in front of this stronghold, about fifty miles deep into the prairie, a large number of orcs are gathering.

The vast grassland between the stronghold and the main force of the orc army was scattered with an unknown number of orc warriors, mainly scouts and raiders, who once crossed the old ghost mountain and caused a lot of trouble to some nearby tribes.

The orc organizations scattered in this area are relatively loose, and the small group is not large, which is the main hunting target of Qin Ping and his conscripts.

A few miles away, Qin Ping had already seen a stone tower rising from a hill with a wide field of vision in front of him, with a clear banner on it, and dark blue mountain and sea battle flags were hunting in the air.

The stone pagoda is the watchtower of the town guard, and now many log huts have been built in Qinwei, which has become a large temporary station.

In that station, the figure of the beast master was not uncommon, all kinds of fierce beasts on the ground let out vigilant roars from time to time, and fierce birds circled in the sky.

Between the shacks, there are a considerable number of advance troops of the Kingdom of Mountains and Seas, and all kinds of beast masters are talking there, sharing the movements of the orcs, showing off the gains of the battle, of course, there is no lack of cries of the wounded, and even a cemetery has been opened up more than a hundred meters away from the watchtower. There, a number of new wooden tombstones were erected, and a flock of crows were perched on them, making lazy and strange calls.

Although it is not yet close, the smell of war is already blowing in the face.

The cold grassland wind blew in his face, but Qin Ping felt a burst of blood boiling, took out an ivory-white animal skin turban, and carefully tied it to the top of his head. In this way, the part above his eyebrows is wrapped, making it difficult to see him in his entirety, ensuring that even old acquaintances will find it difficult to recognize him.

At the back of his head, the slender tail of the turban swayed in the wind, looking flamboyant and agile.

Qin Ping let out a low roar, jumped down from the sky, and motioned for the golden-eyed eagle to wait nearby. After the hunting operation is launched, it will become Qin Ping's eyes hanging in the sky. With the assistance of the golden-eyed eagle in the investigation, many dangers can be effectively avoided.

In this vast grassland, the high-altitude vision of birds of prey, the strategic value can definitely not be ignored.

As you approach the stronghold, the hustle and bustle and the faint smell of blood blow in the wind.

Hai Ling'er and his party were much faster, and they were already waiting for him by a shed in front of them.

There were soldiers of the advance army and deacons of the Beast Master Hall, who were responsible for issuing military merit coats of arms.

Although the military merit emblem is definitely a novelty for the beast masters of the Wind Wolf Alliance, it is the most ordinary and very important thing for the kingdom army.

It was created by the Beast Soul Master, and can receive messages from the commander within a certain range, so that the army commander can effectively carry out strategic deployment and tactical implementation.

More importantly, it can faithfully record the results of the battle, so as to build a complete military merit system and effectively stimulate the enthusiasm of the soldiers to fight.

Now, they are also being used to distribute to bounty hunters like Qin Ping and them.

The first thing a new bounty hunter has to do is to claim his own military merit badge.

"You're so slow!"

Hai Ling'er looked at Qin Ping from a distance, and said with a provocative expression: "We are already impatient to wait!"

"Are you in such a hurry to lose?"

Qin Ping was-for-tat, strode past Hai Ling'er, and went straight to the front of the shed.

There, except for a few strange advance army soldiers, Qin Ping actually saw an old acquaintance. The deacon in charge of issuing military merit badges was suddenly Liu Xiao, an animal trainer from the Beast Master Hall.

The old man was still smiling, looked up at Qin Ping, and nodded lightly: "Very young!"

He didn't recognize Qin Ping at all.

Qin Ping naturally didn't show his feet, and looked at Liu with a smile: "Senior, I want to hunt orcs!"

Predecessor?!

Liu Xiao was stunned for a moment, feeling that he had not seen such a polite young man for a long time. The smile on his face couldn't help but soften a little, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Qin Ping and said, "Little guy, you also came from the Mountain and Sea Kingdom, right?" The old man has to remind you that although hunting orcs is very profitable, it is also very risky. Especially now that the situation is very unclear
