Greystone Valley.

In the tent, three Shanyue and an orc stood a little cramped.

Rhodes held a charcoal pen and gestured on a rudimentary map.

"When Akron returns, I have something for you to do. ”

"I need you to escort the hematite to the city of Bergas, the journey is difficult, and many people will die. ”

Rod looked at the three Shanyue people and said, and Ah Gan translated to the two Shanyue people on the side.

After listening to Ah Gan's words, Man Shan and Luoyan glanced at each other and nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Since the miraculous appearance of the barracks, when a tall orc came out of the barracks, the loyalty of the Sanyue people to the new master had become an almost fanatical faith.

"Your Excellency, please. (Sangoy)

Glancing at the four of them, Rod began to assign tasks to the four.

"When Akron returned, he divided all the Shanyue people into groups of five hundred and divided them into eight groups. ”

"Every three days, each group rotates to escort the convoy to Bergas. ”

"You're going to be attacked. Ore can be lost, but I don't want you to run away like lost dogs. ”

"The Shanyue people have suffered thousands of casualties in the face of a group of goblins, and I have no extra food to feed the weak. ”

"I need you to learn how to fight. ”

"This is a training exercise, Occam will lead a team of orcs to command you in battle, and I believe that those enemies will weed out those unqualified Shanyue people. ”

"In a month's time, I hope that the surviving Shanyue people will learn how to fight together. ”

Listening to Agan's translation, the faces of the two Shanyue people changed for a while.

Luo Yan looked like he wanted to say something, but Man Shan stopped him first, stepped forward and knelt on the ground.

"We will not disappoint your lordship. ”

Rod nodded, and asked the three Shanyue people to retreat.

He looked at the orc in front of him with a hint of restraint.

Occam, the most promising of all the orcs he summoned.

"Occam, there is a passage in the hematite cave that leads to the outside of the valley, and I want you to take a team of orcs out of the valley every night through this passage to go around the hidden passageway, and then enter the valley from the front early the next morning. ”

"I need to see a squad of orc soldiers entering the valley every day. ”

"Pick out a hundred orc soldiers and let them train with the Shanyue people during this time, at least they must know what to do in case of attack. ”

"And ......"

Rod commanded methodically.

Occam listened attentively, and from time to time asked some details and questions, which Rhodes answered one by one.

"Lord Rhodes, why don't you let us orcs escort the ore to Bolgas, and instead use those emaciated Sanyue people?"

Rhodes looked at the puzzled orc in front of him and nodded slightly.

Being willing to think proactively is a good thing.

"This time Akron doesn't think I'll be able to buy much food, and with so many mouths to eat in this valley, I need to reduce some of my mouths to eat. ”

"The orc infantry is now the strongest force in my hands, and if I use you from the beginning, I can expect that the enemy I will face will also be a notch. ”

"The current Shanyue people are a rabble, but they are not afraid of death, they are born wild, and they have the potential to become an excellent army. ”

"I don't care how many Shanyue people die, I hope that the last survivors are real warriors. ”

"Using the Shanyue people to show the enemy weakness, borrowing the enemy to sharpen the Shanyue people, and letting the orc infantry bluff at night and return early are the three things to be done at this stage. ”

"I don't want a victory in front of me. ”

Occam nodded, his thick finger pointing to the map, and expressing many of his thoughts and doubts.

Eventually, Rhodes simply pulled a bench for Occam to sit down and began to make up lessons for the orc.

A few hours later, Occam walked out of the tent with a pensive look on his face.

Looking at the distant back of the tall orc, Rhodes suddenly had some mixed feelings in his heart.

Aside from Akron, there is only one Occam he can use now.

Three days later.

A convoy laden with ore was escorted out of the Greystone Valley by a troop of Shanyue and fifty orcs.

Along the way, I walked a long distance quite calmly.

With two hundred kilometers left in the city of Bolgas, dust was flying in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

The orcs shouted loudly for the Shanyue people to line up to meet the enemy, and the sound of rough and furious resounded over the wilderness.

After a period of confusion, the carriages formed a circle, and the Shanyue people barely formed a formation that could be seen.

"Remembering the orders of the lord, our main purpose is to train our troops, and start retreating after controlling the casualties to a certain level. ”

"The fleeing Shanyue people were killed directly. ”

Occam commanded in a low voice, and a group of orcs took up their weapons and slammed on the carriage beside them, shouting loudly.

The smoke on the horizon is from far and near.

A group of bandits wearing black masks, riding steppe horses, shirtless, and armed with various weapons, appeared in the convoy's field of vision.

There were about 1,000 people, and they came in a mighty way.

The distance between the horses is very well controlled, the rhythm and speed are excellent, and it is clear that they are a group of well-trained horse bandits.

"A group of Shanyue people, that group of noble lords are paying us to deal with this waste?" a mocking laugh rang out.

"Don't talk nonsense, we're aiming for the ores!Watch out for the orcs, don't capsize in the gutter!" shouted the bandit leader.

They are one of the three major bandit groups entrenched in the barren land, called "Evil Jackals", and the actual controller behind them is the Golden Kite Chamber of Commerce.

Most of them have official mercenary status.

But what they are better at is wearing a scarf to kill people and sell goods.

The bandits quickly slammed into the convoy, their butcher's knives raised and fell, and the heads were cut off in a single encounter.

"Kill these guys!"

With a shout, he pulled a knight off his horse, and the iron sword in his hand pierced his skull, blood splattering.

The Shanyue people are more courageous than the bandits imagined.

But relying only on a passion is obviously not enough in front of these battle-hardened bandits.

The offensive that had just been organized by the Shanyue people was quickly broken down, and the bandits rushed into the chariot formation and slaughtered on a large scale.

After a bloody battle, Occam blew the horn on his waist.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

The shouts of the orcs rang out, and the mountain pulled up the falling rock that had been slashed, and fought and retreated.

"Manshan, that lord asked us to face these guys, didn't he let us go to death!" Luo Yan couldn't help but roar.

The corpse of his compatriot made his eyes red.

The mountain gritted his teeth and ran wildly in silence pulling the falling rocks.

"Our Shanyue people's fighting methods are too primitive, and if we don't learn the correct way to fight, we are doomed to perish. ”

"Your Lord promised to ransom our people and give us a piece of land to survive, but you can't expect those orcs to protect us!"

"We need to learn to fight. ”

Man Shan led a group of Shanyue people to flee in disarray.

Occam led the orc infantry to cut them off.

The bandits chased for some distance before withdrawing, seeing the group of defeated soldiers leave.

"Why don't you let me chase them and kill them all!" one of the bandits asked loudly, foaming at the mouth.

"Our main purpose has been accomplished! You idiot, we're dealing with a lord, a demon. ”

"Those orcs are very capable of fighting, and it would be too expensive to kill them all, and our people can't afford to lose them. If there are too many casualties, those noble lords will immediately replace us with a new wave of people!"

"Pull the ore away, and send a few more scouts to keep an eye on the Greystone Valley. ”

The leader of the bandits commanded his subordinates loudly, and he always felt a little strange when he looked at the corpses of the Shanyue people in a place.
