Chapter 186: It's Finally Here
In a forest unknown to the Orcs in the Sunshine Forest, Izzy, Durotan, and Lanteriso hid behind a rock, observing the creepy-looking cobweb forest in front of them, and discussing in a low voice.
"What's so good about bugs, are you mistaken, little brother?" said Lantreso with a disgusted expression.
"What's so delicious about bugs?!"
Izzy sarcastically sneered at Randreso in a tone of "you really don't know", and said:
"Did you know that arthropod meat often has several times as much protein as beef! ”
As he spoke, Izzy licked his lips and made a delicious gesture, adding in passing: "Chicken flavor, crunchy!"
Randriso and Durotan swallowed a saliva together as Izzy described it.
"I don't know what protein is, but the bush roasted shellworms I ate in Draenor are really delicious, no, I'm hungry, let's find a chance to do it." Durotan said anxiously.
Randreso suddenly stretched out his index finger in front of his mouth and made a silent gesture, and Izzy and Durotan quickly shut up, suppressing their breathing and hiding their breath.
Izzy looked up and peeked out, and immediately noticed the target that Lanteriso had spotted, which was a giant spider about 1.5 meters in diameter.
The giant spider was brown overall, covered with thorny hairs, and looked very unpleasant.
Izzy gave Durotan a look, and Durotan looked carefully and made an OK gesture, so Izzy nodded to Lanteriso and told him to go as planned.
This is the hunting method they have agreed in advance, first Durotan confirms whether the spider is edible, and then Lanteriso releases the bait, and when the spider approaches, several people rush to pack up the prey and return home.
Izzy is not worried that Durotan will not be able to judge whether the prey is poisonous or not, to say that the most familiar with the animals of Azeroth among the orcs is only Durotan who hunts every day, if the prey he hunts is not completely sure whether it is edible or not, he will definitely not give it to Draka and his own children, in addition, even if Durotan can't judge it, Izzy also has a set of herbal poison testing methods that have been passed down from generation to generation by the Broken Hand Clan.
Rantreso was tying a huge fat rat with a stick, placing it on another boulder, sticking out half of its head, as if the mouse was spying on a spider, and he kept rubbing the boulder with the mouse's corpse to cause vibrations.
The spider noticed Lantreso's bait almost immediately, and lay down very happily, and Izzy and the others immediately held their breath, ready to wait for their prey to approach.
The giant spider came to a stop ten paces away, the spider's eight eyes were full of doubt and vigilance, but Lantreso, who had a lot of experience in hunting, knew what to do now, and he quickly withdrew the bait, making a gesture that his prey had spotted the predator and began to flee.
The giant spider could still hold it, and immediately jumped over the rock, and then it saw three humanoid creatures staring at him with a lewd smile on their faces, staring at him with the eyes of food.
Two hours later, Izzy walked out of the kitchen with a plate of stout, blackened spider legs, and Durotan and Rantreso were disappointed, according to Izzy, food had to be both good and good, and now that the color and smell were gone, the taste was no better.
Seeing the reaction of the two, Izzy smiled mysteriously, and took out a knife to cut the rattan used to bind the spider's legs, just like breaking a piece of bamboo tube to roast rice, breaking the pitch-black chitin shell.
At this moment, white steam gushed out, followed by a mouth-watering and seductive aroma, and Lanteriso and Durotan looked at the spider leg in Izzy's hand with shiny eyes, and in the inconspicuous pitch-black shell, in addition to the crystal clear white meat, there were all kinds of condiments that had been filled in advance.
Izzy took out the sheepskin water bag, filled the stone bowl of the three of them, and said with a smile: "I won't serve you, if your hands are slow, they will be gone." ”
Listening to Izzy's words, Rantreso and Durotan hurriedly followed Izzy's actions just now and uncovered a spider leg, while Izzy suddenly raised the wine bowl and said, "Toast food!"
"Toast Food!(×2)"
The life of eating meat and drinking wine is always beautiful, if you can, Izzy really hopes that such days will continue, but the reality will always inadvertently, let you taste bitterness, and people with strong adaptability will always comfort themselves that there are bitter and sweet, and there is joy in the bitterness, so as to live, and people who can't adapt can only be forced to struggle in the turbidity of reality.
Three days later, the orcs had largely assembled in Nighttown, and Izzy had obtained his long-awaited information.
"There's a small team of humans that have come into the vigilance of our scouts, about fifty people, shorter and thinner than our orcs, but well-armed, with weapons that should be standard swords and shields, and some kind of heavy mount that is stronger than the Tabu sheep, over. ”
Garrosh's voice came from one of Izzy's keychain-like energy storage contact crystals, such a convenient contact crystal, it is impossible for Izzy not to popularize it in the army, and the magic energy of the contact crystal relies on the Draenei mage to recharge, which can also speed up the process of Draenei's integration into the orc army, and they are now equivalent to the indispensable telephone liaison in the army.
"Is it finally here, fifty cavalry?" said Izzy, muttering for a moment, and continued to ask, "Did you see the commander of that unit?"
Before Izzy's message could be sent, the contact crystal lit up, and it was clear that Garrosh had added to his information.
"Found a human suspected of being the commander of the army, at the forefront of this cavalry unit, it was a human who was taller and stronger than ordinary humans, and the weapon was a red two-handed greatsword, over. ”
Izzy thought for a moment, thinking that the person in Garrosh's words was most likely the famous Ser Lothar, the Lion of Azeroth, and that the red greatsword was probably the sword of the Brotherhood engraved with the word AL.
"Understood, stay hidden, don't let this human force spot you, let them in as planned, over. ”
The feeling that plans are going well is always reassuring, and Izzy's great effort into mastering the intelligence has finally paid off, and Warsong Scout's covert probing skills, combined with the communication capabilities of the Contact Crystal, make this battle unequal from the start.
At the same time, the heavy cavalry battalion of the 7th Legion, which had entered the Sunshine Forest, stopped at the Crow Ridge in the Sunshine Forest, and set up camp to rest, Lothar was a qualified commander, and he would not let his soldiers face those unknown threats in the darkness of the night, so no matter how urgent, he would not march at night.
In addition, Lothar felt uneasy in his heart, and the instinct to fight that had been honed in the sand made him feel that something was not right.
"General, we've hunted a piebald deer, and the lads invite you to try it. Lothar looked at the dark forest outside the camp and whispered back, "Okay, I'll go back later." ”
Then, as usual, Lothar mingled with the boys, eating meat and chatting about his heroic stories.
"General, you've told this story many times, and I can recite it. Saying that, the knight lieutenant of the Seventh Legion drew his sword and pretended to say, "That day, I was attacked by a group of forest trolls in the jungle!
"I took my golden sword and didn't hesitate to attack first, the trolls weren't my match at all, and when I pulled the greatsword out of the chest of the last troll, the troll berserker was still swinging wildly with his slow fist that would make me yawn. ”
"Later, I got really impatient, so I used my giant sword to cut him off! I sent another decapitation to go up, and finally, I hit a beautiful home run from the troll berserker's head like a baseball, and stunned the troll scout on the other side!"
Lothar's face darkened when he heard this, and he quickly grabbed the cavalry lieutenant who had been with him for several years, and said, "What, the lieutenant has some matter, I want to discuss it with you, come with me." ”
The cavalry lieutenant saw that the situation was not right, and made a military salute in a panic, and said: "General, the cheese and sweet potato roast I brought from my hometown last time, I remember that there is still a little bit, so I will bring it to you for wine!"
