On the snowy field, night falls.

The orcs found a leeward slope and set up camp.

No one in this place dares to march at night except for the snow giants, it is cold enough during the day, and the temperature in the snow field can drop another twenty degrees at night.

"Tár, Hypatia."

"Legionnaire!"

Originally, Tal and Hypatia and the others were still sitting in front of a campfire eating some food, and when the tall orc legion leader came over, they all stood up and greeted him.

Tal reacted the fastest, and as soon as she heard the voice, she immediately put down the food in her hand and stood up, and Hypatia was still reluctant to put down the food in her hand, so she didn't react to stand up until Tal gave her a vague look.

"It doesn't have to be like this, I'm here to tell you about the next plan of action."

"Legionnaire, please."

"Sit down, sit down."

The tall orc sat down in the open space by the campfire first, and then beckoned the Tar to sit down, and then said to himself:

"We're about to go to the Iron Wood Forest, we don't know anything about the human territory outside the Iron Wood Forest, we can't enter the human territory like a headless fly, and we need Tal to take someone to scout at that time."

"That's as it should be."

"To find out the strength of the human lords around you, it's best to figure out the location and defense of Zhenbei Pass."

"The strongest lord of the human northland should be the Lanster family, the Lanster family has suffered heavy losses in our last temptation, if it weren't for Thor to help, Drifting Snow City might have been taken, and the Lanster family should not be able to recover in such a short time."

"Hmm"

The tall orc legion leader nodded, motioning for Tal to continue.

"However, the Hunter family near the Iron Wood Forest is worth noting, this family unites many human lords, and it also caused a lot of trouble to the ogre at that time, and it has some strength."

Obviously, Tar's perception of the form of the Northlands was still stuck when Grugash retreated into the wilderness, and he knew nothing about Richard's strong rise, and regarded the Lancet family as the strongest family in the Northlands, and the Hunter family as just some powerful nobles.

"Well, after entering the Iron Wood Forest, I will lead most of the people to find a place to hide in the forest, and you and Hypatia will lead people to do some cover-up and go out of the forest to investigate."

"Yes, Legionnaire."

"Rest well, you'll have to work hard then."

"The food sent by the snow giant in the past few days, you should enjoy it first, and take care of your spirits first."

"Thank you, Legionnaire."

The tall orc patted Tár's somewhat narrow shoulder, said nothing, and after some encouragement, turned away and went on to look elsewhere.

"Brother, if there are mammoths in the food sent by the snow giant tomorrow, remember to leave me a hind leg, it will be too fragrant to bake."

"You say you want where you want, don't others pick it? Do you want to eat so much? ”

"Why can't you choose, didn't the legion commander just say let's give priority to picking? I can finish it anyway. ”

Tal was a little helpless, and lowered his voice a little:

"After all, we are half-orcs, pay a little attention, otherwise some people will be dissatisfied."

"Who dares to be dissatisfied to see that I don't cut his tongue."

"Brother, we're both Imperial Samurai, can we use this?"

Tal looked at his sister with a nonchalant look, and shook his head with a wry smile,

Thinking that it was too good to protect herself, Hypatia had not yet felt the malice of all aspects of the kingdom towards the orcs.

Because there is no reproductive isolation between humans and orcs, some half-bloods have naturally arisen on both sides of the long-term war, that is, the so-called half-orcs.

It's okay on the human side, although they are also discriminated against, but because the physical fitness of the half-orcs is innately better than that of humans, even if they can't reach the level of quasi-knights when they become adults, they are much stronger than ordinary humans, and with a little resource investment, they can steadily step into the threshold of quasi-knights, and it is easy to find a way to live without being targeted by the official of the Golden Dragon Kingdom.

The orcs on this side of the Golden Dragon Kingdom are basically concentrated in the west, the terrain in the west is complex, the desert grassland and mines are mixed, and the forces of all parties are intertwined.

And the physically strong half-orcs can mix well in the west, everyone is willing to raise a few half-orcs who can fight and fight, taking the Duke of the West Territory Rose as an example, there is a desert wolf warrior group composed entirely of half-orcs in the Western Army, more than a thousand half-orcs all practice breathing methods, all have the level of quasi-knights, after receiving strict military training and being fully armed, they have become one of the sharpest blades in the hands of Duke Rose.

And the half-orcs who were born in the orc kingdom have a hard time, not to mention being discriminated against by ordinary orcs, compared to the strong physique of humans, it is completely thin on the orc's side, orcs are almost as young and strong as quasi-knights three times as long as ordinary people, half-orcs are bullied in the orc kingdom, and they are born to be low,

It is only the half-orcs like Tal and Hypatia who have reached the earth level with their strength that they automatically become imperial warriors according to the rules of the orc kingdom.

But with strength and status, Tal is more cautious in front of the real orc nobles, he knows that as a half-orc, he has reached this status, and he doesn't know how many people in the kingdom are not used to it,

Even the commander of this operation, the legion commander Wu Zi, only did not show this disgust obviously, but Tal could still feel a little rejection, only now that he was able to use half-orcs, he only did a little superficial work.

"Forget it, the food has been quite sufficient for the past two days, let's eat it well."

There are more than two orcs in the team, Tal and Hypatia, and the dozen or so people around this bonfire are all half-orc elites selected from the orc kingdom, at least the strength of the knight rank.

Compared with orcs, half-orcs at least have a certain advantage in reconnaissance, although they are tall, most of them are not more than two meters, and they are still within the range of normal humans, and their facial features are not so obvious and they wear a hat and a scarf to cover them, except for being stronger, they can't see much difference from humans, and they are not as eye-catching as orcs, and it is naturally more convenient to go to the north to conduct reconnaissance than orcs.

"Brother, you take care of it a lot, whoever dares to say that word in front of me, I will take off his head on the spot."

Although Hypatia has a good face, if you don't consider her height and skin color, she can be regarded as a beauty even according to the evaluation standards of human beings, and she doesn't have the hideousness that belongs to orcs at all, but her temperament can be called tyrannical, and she is not inferior to orcs at all.

Others may think that Hypatia is just letting go of cruel words, but Tal knows very well that Hypatia is serious, and she is never ambiguous, and if he hadn't stopped her a little in the early years, Hypatia's blade would have been more than just human blood.

"Okay, okay, temper a little more restrained, don't just think about yourself."

Hypatia's face was still indifferent, looking at the sky and playing with the dagger in her hand, but she didn't continue to talk back, she was just a little irritable, but she was not stupid, she was still very aware of her brother's difficulties, their brother and sister were the representative figures of the half-orcs in the orc kingdom, and they needed to pay attention to every word and deed.

As for the surrounding circle of half-orcs, they didn't dare to answer these mouths, they all squatted silently around the campfire to roast some food, and some even began to divert this embarrassing topic.

"The prey sent by these snow giants is really good."

"yes, the meat of this mammoth is so chewy."

"These beef consumption is not bad, and I don't know where these snow giants found these prey on this white snowfield."

"If it weren't for the snow giants who sent us some prey along the way, I am afraid that we would not have been able to get out of the snow field with our dry food."

Tal and Hypatia fell silent for a moment, as if all their energy was being spent on destroying the food in front of them.

Hypatia nimbly turned the short knife in her hand, shaved a half-cooked beef leg, and sprinkled some salt on it.

"Brother, give."

"Hmm"

Tal didn't refuse, opening his mouth to bite off a piece of beef leg from the short knife, and there was a considerable level of trust between the two.

"I don't know what conditions Your Majesty and the Snow Giant have reached to let the Snow Giant help like this, I thought it would be good to let us pass, but I didn't expect to provide food all the way."

"Don't think so much about what you shouldn't know."

"Hmph."

"Eat well and rest, and don't be so willful when you enter the human territory in a few days."

"Good, good..."

Hypatia responded perfunctorily, and Tal shook her head helplessly.

The night sky in the snowfield was pitch black, and when Tal looked up, he only saw endless darkness, and this black hollow and terrifying night sky made Tal feel a little better.
