Chapter 16: An Unexpected Orc Army
Dilla and Avina are back.
Link breathed a sigh of relief, but the news that came with it was bad news that couldn't have been worse.
There were no werewolf dens around, and Avina and Dilla chased after a fleeing werewolf until they came across a valley with an army of several hundred men stationed.
The army is composed of orcs like werewolves.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Avina shot the fleeing werewolf directly, only to attract the attention of the orc sentries and send many orc soldiers to chase after him.
In order to ensure that the Elemental Tower was not discovered, Avina and Dilla took the orcs in a large circle and went in the other direction.
It wasn't long ago that they escaped the orcs and returned to the Elemental Tower.
"In other words, the werewolves we killed were not actually the natives of this forest, but the scouts of an orc army?"
Link pinched his eyebrows, and the sorrow in his heart welled up.
It's just bad luck to get home, and this kind of bad thing can happen.
In fact, Link is a little lucky, if he hadn't let Dilla and the others go to investigate in the early hours of this morning, I'm afraid he would have known nothing about such a result, and even if Link himself didn't want to cut down the grass as soon as possible, he wouldn't have thought that the werewolf he killed was actually a scout of an army.
Without any defense, he may let himself encounter them, and as long as he thinks about it, Link feels a cold sweat break out on his back.
But the situation is still terrible, and there is an army on the other side, which is not comparable to a group of dozens of werewolves.
If you have an army, it means that they have discipline, and this group of orcs has class and the ability to fight in groups.
By any measure, Link didn't feel the possibility of victory on his side.
"Well, that werewolf is indeed a scout of that army, and its leather armor is similar to that of the orcs who are tracking us."
Dilla spoke.
"Leather armor?"
Link suddenly raised his head and looked at Dilla, his eyes seemed to flicker with something, "You said that werewolf was wearing leather armor?" ”
"Yes, it's a fairly sophisticated set of leather armor." "It seems to have some protection, and my arrow of light barely penetrated. ”
When the first werewolf attacked him yesterday, it seemed like he was just a hide.
Link had forgotten what they were wearing on the werewolves who had come over at night, but it wasn't the fine leather armor that Avina had come to say.
Avina's words seemed to pull Link out of the abyss, and he immediately walked back and forth, his mind spinning desperately: "In other words, those werewolves we killed are very likely not to be with this orc army." ”
"No wonder, if you find that your people have been killed, as any army, it is impossible to do nothing, not to mention that the army will come for revenge, and it will not send two scouts to come."
Link took a deep breath as he turned to Dilla and asked, "So what is the situation with that orc army?" Did you see that? ”
"I feel like they're a bit of a frightened bird." Dilla frowned and thought back to what she had seen, "We killed the fleeing werewolf, and the barracks seemed to explode in an instant, and many orcs poured out, although several were sent to follow us later, but compared to the explosive riot at the beginning, it was a bit strange. ”
"I don't know how many people there are, but when I look at it, it's densely packed, and at least more than 100 people appear."
Dilla frowned and estimated, "According to a conservative estimate, about 300 to 400 people." ”
"No, no, there's definitely something wrong inside." Link curled his knuckles and tapped his forehead, using the pain to force himself into a state of efficient thinking, "Frightened bird? Riots of explosions? ”
Link kept muttering to himself, and a little light suddenly flashed in his heart, "Yes, this orc army is not the kind of army that is ready to go to battle, but has already fallen off the battlefield, and is very likely to be defeated, or even pursued. So the slightest movement was almost about to explode, and when someone came, they just sent a few people out to chase after them. ”
"Dilla." Link looked up at his first heroine, fiery red armor shining a flame-like hue on her body, "I need you to do something for me." ”
"Take a look at the orc's camp and see if they're still there."
Link's voice fell, and Dilla lowered her head in response, "Yes, my lord, I'm here to take a look." ”
"Wait." Dilla was just about to get up and leave, but Link suddenly stopped the other party's footsteps, "Pay more attention when you are on the road, and if the other party sends someone to search around, then come back immediately." ”
"Yes." Deira agreed, and rushed out of the Elemental Tower, quickly disappearing into Link's special vision.
Apparently Dilla also knew that Link was waiting for the news, and was running extremely fast.
After Dilla left, Link also began to prepare for what would happen next.
If the other party does not have a morale army as he thinks, then Link will have to find a way to avoid the other party.
There is an item in the mall that can have a certain effect.
Scrolls of Mist, in campaign mode, obscure your own stronghold and thus deny other players from attacking your stronghold.
To put it simply, it's something like a no-fight card.
10 diamonds are required and are valid for 6 hours.
But in reality, how to use the Mist Scroll, he still has to think carefully.
Whether it is useful or not must also be verified.
"Avina." Link turned to look at the elven archer, he pursed his lips and said to her, "Can you scout in the forest?" I'm still a little unsure about the werewolves up ahead, and if you can, you can continue to search around for their nests. ”
"No problem, my lord."
Elven archer Avina smiled and saluted, "As elves, we are a race known as the Children of the Forest, and in such an environment, my strength can be exceeded. Those werewolves weren't dangerous, and even if I was surrounded, I could easily escape. ”
Avina's tone was strong and confident, and Link's face looked a little better, and then he nodded, signaling that Avina could go now.
In the end, there was only one mercy priest, Lucy, who looked at Link and shrugged her shoulders, obviously sorry that she couldn't do anything about it.
Link sighed, anxiously awaiting the return of Dilla and Avina.
"Damn it." Link suddenly thought of something, "I should have let them eat something before they acted." ”
"Don't worry, they'll eat themselves when they're hungry." Lucy said briskly beside her, "Each of them has a lot of jerky on them, as if it was made from the leftover meat of the deer yesterday. ”
