The fire lasted all night, and Caesar thought twice, but in the end he did not choose to make a move, but quietly crawled in the nest ** waiting for news.

He had reason to suspect that the scouts were coming for him.

The combat power of the Stone Crow Clan is not hidden at all, whether it is the archmage Sifu or a hundred warriors, they have all been exposed to outsiders in the open.

If the other party really has the heart to swallow this tribe in one bite, there is no need to send scouts to reconnoitre, but send soldiers to surround this area silently, and then attack as quickly as possible.

Then, there is only one reason why the other party sent scouts, that is, they guessed that there were other people behind the Stone Crow Clan to support them, and they wanted to see the details before going all out.

"It's that guy."

Caesar suddenly thought of the caravan leader with an unusual position, the young man, Roy Brando.

Among the human race, he was the only one who had in-depth contact with the Stone Crow Clan, and it was possible that such doubts would arise.

Therefore, in this case, in order to avoid being discovered by the other party's "wizard's eye" and other reconnaissance spells, Caesar still chose to stay put.

Sometimes, the unknown is more terrifying than the sword, and before he understands the depth of the Stone Crow Clan, Roy is unlikely to attack directly and recklessly, but will choose to continue to send a small force to harass and keep tempting.

And Caesar happened to be able to take advantage of this and eat away at Roy's living force step by step.

As dawn broke, when the orcs dragged their tired bodies together with each other, he found that many of the warriors had wounds, some of them even severe.

"One hundred and forty-four humans were killed."

Garr grinned, his right cheek was so red and swollen that it looked like he had been hammered with a hammer: "Eighty of them have crossbows on their bodies, and they use the kind of standard weapons you mentioned. ”

"These guys are better than those adventurers, and in the event of our surprise attack, they were able to stabilize their positions and form an effective counterattack, and twelve of our brothers were set on fire and died." Speaking of the back, Gar's voice was slightly choked.

With such a battle loss ratio, in fact, the results of the battle have been quite fruitful, but those who died are all tribal compatriots who get along day and night after all, and the orcs are inevitably depressed.

"Go back to your nest, you should sleep, you should recuperate."

Caesar gave a command to the orc warriors, and at some point he had taken over the reins very smoothly, and after pacifying the warriors back, the black dragon turned to the old wizard and asked, "If I guess correctly, the women of the tribe are not as weak as humans, and they can also take up arms when necessary." ”

"Yes."

The old wizard responded, his main purpose last night was to use spells to monitor the edge of the entire territory to prevent any fish from slipping through the net, such a large workload overnight, even as an archmage, he was a little unable to support it, and described him as tired and haggard: "...... It's just that it's hard for them to have the fighting power of men. ”

The words were slightly veiled, mainly because Sifu was worried that Caesar would send women on dangerous missions.

After all, in last night's battle, even the elite soldiers suffered casualties, and if they were replaced by female orcs with weaker combat effectiveness, I am afraid that this number would have multiplied several times.

"Don't worry."

Caesar heard the subtext of Sifu's words, and his words were calm: "Women don't need to fight for the time being, let them be in charge of reconnaissance missions." If you encounter an enemy, give priority to protecting your own safety and avoid it as much as possible. ”

In the case that the two sides do not know each other's depths, the exchange of intelligence reconnaissance has become a very important part, and if Roy can know Caesar's existence and strength first, he can quickly judge the situation and launch an attack.

On the other hand, if Caesar was the first to discover the camp and headquarters of the human army, he could also devise a decapitation plan to kill the enemy in one blow.

War is not child's play, speaking of which is the first time the black dragon has encountered this situation, he has no experience, he can only try his best to apply his knowledge to practical operations, supplemented by extreme caution, be careful, and strive to do the best he can.

……

The soft sound in the forest lingers in the ears.

The valley floor stream rushes through the stone bed, and the sunlight sparkles on the water. Under the trees, horses neighed softly, stretching out their hooves to stir at the solid soil covered with dead leaves, and the soldiers lowered their voices and made muffled jokes.

From time to time, Roy heard the faint sound of spears clashing and chain mail sliding, and this time, with a thousand soldiers, had just crossed the Mosterle Canyon.

However, his face was not good, because the scouts sent before had no news at all. Roy had a premonition in his heart that those soldiers had died in the wilderness, and were discovered by the other party, and then swallowed all in one go.

Over time, this suspicion has been confirmed.

"Interesting."

Roy played with the family crest in his hand, as a member of the Brando family, he was still haunted by the death of eighty soldiers. What really shocked him was the decisiveness and cruelty shown by the opponent in this encounter.

He had ordered the soldiers who went to scout to avoid conflict with the Crow Clan as much as possible, and even retreat back if necessary, and their mission was to check the orc tribe for anomalous creatures.

Without using their swords, those stupid orcs would never be able to realize the danger.

There is only one possibility why the Crow Clan will preemptively kill everyone - that is, there is another person or highly intelligent creature among them, he (it) controls the Crow Clan, and then based on his own analysis and guess, he will strike ruthlessly and decisively, to strangle the possible threat in the cradle, and at the same time show its power to potential enemies.

Roy had conceived of the creature's existence more than once, though he sometimes wondered if he was fighting the air, but now it was clear.

That creature must exist.

"Interesting fellow, what are you? Mankind? Goblin? Weird? Still is...... A dragon? ”

Roy laughed, the other party was very smart, and in one fell swoop he annihilated all his scouts, leaving not a single living mouth, resulting in his own ignorance of him.

Next, if you continue to send people to test it, you will happen to fall into the hands of that guy, and you will be constantly eaten away by that guy step by step to weaken your own strength.

But—

Roy narrowed his eyes, what the other party didn't know was that this was precisely the manifestation of his weak heart, if he was really that kind of fearless and powerful existence, then he wouldn't care about the scouts he sent at all, and would only let the human soldiers wander around the Stone Crow Clan, and wait until his main force appeared, and then show his fangs and eat them all in one go.

"That guy is definitely not going to be unacceptably strong."

Having come to this conclusion, Roy Ray was resolute and immediately began to give orders: "Catus! ”

"In!"

The knight, who had shown his face before, took two steps forward.

"You take ten people, change horses and go to the Gnoll Clan and the Kobold Clan, order them to prepare for battle, and wait for news in the third forest area of the wild wilderness."

"Yes!"

The knight caressed his chest and obeyed the order, clamped the horse's belly, and ordered ten people to walk with him.

"No one else is allowed to break away from the troops, repair in place, and set off again in half an hour." Roy took a sip of water, rolled over and dismounted: "At dawn in two days, we must reach the wilderness. ”
