Chapter 289: The Black Orc Who Knows the Times
Following Cyrus's voice, the Chaos Dwarve, who was about to return to the cabin, stopped and turned to look at the pitch-black woods behind him.
At first they saw nothing, but soon there was the sound of small footsteps in the silent forest, louder and denser.
Then, with an exclamation from the resting Chaos Dwarven warriors at the edge of the woods, a dark shadow swept past them at high speed like an unstoppable arrow in the shadows.
Before the rest could react, more dark arrows shot out, followed by the shrill and loud shouts of the greenskinned goblins.
"It's a forest spider rider! And goblin wolf riders! Damn it! What about our goblin marauders! Eating? ”
Cambyses had good eyesight, and after seeing the situation clearly, he was first startled, and then hurriedly shouted.
Seeing this, the others also panicked, and they all pulled out their weapons and prepared to step forward to join the battle, but the tallest white-bearded dwarf was extremely calm.
"Panic what! Didn't you see them just passing by? If you want to fight, you will fight it a long time ago! ”
After dropping these words, Cyrus left behind the staring crowd and returned to the "Burning Taurus" with Ayigunu.
Standing on the deck, you can clearly see that around the makeshift camp of the Chaos Dwarves, under the light of more than a dozen bonfires, hundreds of green-skinned cavalry are pouring out of the forest, like countless drops of ink flowing downstream, converging into a stream, following the footsteps of the black orcs back to the greenskin fortress.
In addition to these nimble cavalry, Cyrus also found that at some point there was a black shadow like a hill on the narrow forest path where he came, blocking the middle of the road, and it was even about the size of a bull centaur ripper pulling a cart.
It is a mature araknari queen spider.
Cyrus recognized this rare beast, fierce and aggressive, usually following the forest goblins, and being kept as holy objects by them, each mature queen spider could easily take out hundreds of experienced warriors.
Hasselt is on it! It's good that I don't have to fight it tonight.
With a deafening roar, the spider's lonely figure disappeared into the darkness as if it had never been seen before.
At the same time, there was a loud bang, and the gates of the Greenskin Fortress were firmly closed, and everything was back to normal, except for a few Chaos Dwarves and the goblins who had just gathered together.
These lowly slaves are really slow to react, but the goblin riders just now, who are well-trained and dynamic, are not at all what the green skin should be.
In fact, since the black orc boss boarded the "Burning Taurus", Cyrus has been vaguely aware of the aura emanating from the woods outside, which should have been arranged by him a long time ago, once something unexpected happens, not only the green skins in the city will pour out, but these guys who are ambushed outside will also give their troops a fatal blow from the darkness.
This is what the "Gray Bull" is really afraid of, as for the other two of them hit it off at first sight, and the Chaos Dwarves will repay their kindness, these are all used to deceive children.
The stone was not fooled, this guy is really not simple.
………
The stone is not simple to return to the "Thunder Cliff", and continue to ask the boys on the city wall to pay close attention to the situation outside, although it seems that there will be no fight now, but it can't be guarded against.
The situation has not deteriorated, and the goblin riders and dastardly lurkers who have been ambushed in advance are useless, so instead of hiding in the woods, it is better to come out and give each other a warning.
There is also Atrak, since it has evolved into a mature body, its size has increased greatly, and it is inconvenient to return to the territory, so the stone simply wants it to move freely in the mountains and woods of the "Rabid Dog Trail" outside, as long as an unexpected situation like today's occurs, it will appear as the last hole card, giving the enemy the most fatal blow to the unsuspecting back.
So don't look at the stone before you get on the "thief ship" without saying a word, and your face does not change in the cabin, you talk and laugh, in fact, you are prepared and rely on.
Even so, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, but fortunately, Ayigunu did not disappoint him, and in the end, not only did the three of them come back unharmed, but also brought a group of black orcs with him.
As soon as he returned to his own territory, Shi immediately arranged for his subordinates to settle down the "greeting gifts" he had just received, first cut off the chains wrapped around his body, and then prepare some delicious and delicious entertainment.
The meat was also eaten and drunk, and these hundred black orcs knew the current affairs very well, and they took the initiative to recognize him as the boss without opening their mouths with stones, which went even more smoothly than he thought.
The stone quickly got a rough idea of the novice's past.
They originally belonged to different greenskin tribes around "Ggoth Fort", and for various reasons they were caught by the slave catchers of the "Ash Horns" and became slaves of the Chaos Dwarves, but fortunately, they not only had developed limbs, but also had good brains, and after digging mines for a period of time, they were selected to become the subordinates of the Chamber of Commerce Demon Blacksmith, and while doing the heaviest physical work, they also mastered some techniques for building weapons and equipment, and it was precisely because of this that they were finally selected and given stones as payment.
According to what they said, in the entire "Ash Horn" Chamber of Commerce, there are not many black orcs like this who can already forge weapons and equipment independently, and here is already half of all people.
Stone knew that no matter which city the Chaos Dwarves were in, the black orc slaves, especially those who could strike iron, were definitely valuable and sought-after.
It can be seen that Cyrus still made a bloody investment.
Although I don't know the specific market, but for the stone, this is an unexpected gain, which can already be called a surprise, not to mention that it can strike iron, just a hundred healthy black orcs are enough for him to have a happy night.
This is the Black Orc, recognized as the most powerful being of all the green skins, an enhanced version of the ordinary Orcs, and more importantly, their brains are more useful than the average Orc.
In addition, the black orcs have another advantage, although they are more cruel and bloodthirsty than ordinary orcs in nature, but perhaps due to the influence of the living environment and history, they are not as fond of infighting as other orcs, which is why after seeing the stone, they don't need to use their hands at all, they obediently obey and join the tribe.
Although each of these black orcs is strong and strong, and the size is similar to that of ordinary big guys, they are still not at the same level as stones, and for them who have just asked for slave status, it is not a shame to be such a boss's subordinate.
Well, counting the Barbarian Orc faction that has only recently been introduced, the "Broken Claw Tribe" has finally gathered the four major green-skinned subspecies of Forest Goblins, Night Goblins, Barbarian Orcs, and Black Orcs, which can be said to be very rare.
Especially the black orcs, they are rare to see in the border prince's territory, not only because most of them are gathered in the dark places, but also because they don't look down on this place.
The greenskins of the "Frontier Princes" are too weak for the black orcs, and once a powerful warlord comes to the fore, they will often lead their men directly to the badlands in the south, because they know that only by making a name for themselves there and conquering the tribes there can they be regarded as the real powerhouses of the greenskins.
As for the chaotic frontier princes, these warriors who are more powerful than ordinary orcs are really not interested.
So if it weren't for Cyrus, the stone really wouldn't be so easy to come across, and subdue the black orcs.
"By the way, what, do you have anyone named Ironskin?"
