Chapter 156: The Wolf Rider Appears
"No need 'Your Excellency Commander', I heard that someone saw the orc rangers scouting outside yesterday, so it's better to keep an eye on it at this time." There was someone next to him, Arthur would not call the fist demon by his name, shaking his head and refusing to continue looking at the scenery outside the wall, looking for enemies who might appear at any time in the wind and snow.
Ashuk laughed, and didn't care about his horse's ass slapping the horse's feet, the whole Morado is also a real legal profession for Arthur, although he is still a trainee, but he can't say anything about preferential treatment.
It's not the first time that the Canon family has done this matter of relinquishing command, especially for powerful and strong people, in the face of the orc disaster back then, the ancestors of the Peter Ryder family also led the Canon family to lead the townspeople to repel the attack of the orcs.
In fact, most of the small towns in the south have such a tradition, after all, nobles cannot be 100% combat geniuses, in order to recruit powerful adventurers and mercenaries to settle in the town, the lord is very willing to give up this flashy name.
When it was reported that the spy mercenary group that got the Sword of Sun, that is, the Frost of Winter, planned to settle in, Frick. Canon was also overjoyed.
After all, for the town's powerful mercenary group station, it not only means that you can save a lot of money on the cost of cleaning the goblins all year round, but also because such a moment can add enough powerful combat power to the town.
It's a pity that the leader sent by Winterfrost is a young master who has never seen the world, and he doesn't know how to scheming.
Compared with directly exposing his secret identity, not only Arthur, but even other yeoman farmers knew that the land was not simple, not to mention the local lord Canon family, who was simply lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.
The wind and snow are still there, but compared with the wind and snow more than ten days ago, the ground looks white at this time, and even the branches of the trees are piled up with layers of thick snow, and they are blown down by the wind from time to time, making an unsettling sound.
This is the most common winter in the real north, and the snow comes so quickly that the green has disappeared from the ground in an instant, and the snow is enough to cover the ankles.
Although it can't be compared to the super blizzard in the north, for the townspeople, the trip home from the town at this time can become a hard journey.
Not to mention the tenant farmers who are crowded in the middle of the town and can only live in tents, in order to get a little temperature, they can only huddle together at night to keep warm, so as not to be frozen to death on the bed board for unknown reasons.
People are constantly getting sick, and the proportion of non-combat injuries is not low, and at this time, the half-elf apothecary has finally ushered in business, and in the absence of sacrifices, only magic potions can guarantee that they will not be greeted with orcs in a sick state this winter.
"What's that?" Seeing that something seemed to be shaking in the snow, Arthur vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and opened the data eye and swept over.
Looking back at Ashuk, he found that this person was also looking in the same direction as himself at this time, but compared to Arthur's caution, the fist demon looked like he was gearing up, and he was eager to try and even wanted to jump off the city wall to teach these wolf cubs a good lesson.
"Guards, go and report to the lord, the wolf cub's vanguard has arrived in Morado." Before anyone else could react, they didn't notice anything unusual at all, but the Fist Demon did, and of course Arthur.
"Giant wolf cavalry? That's a scary statistic. "Arthur's method of discovering the giant wolf cavalry is actually a bit tricky, he just found a different white color, and used the data eye to find the enemy.
The name of the orc giant wolf cavalry didn't matter, but just looking at the attributes was enough for Arthur to worry about.
The intelligence is not high, only C-, this is normal, the orcs are not a high-intelligence race, C- is actually considered intelligent in the individual, otherwise it is impossible to take on the role of a pioneer scout.
Physical strength represents strength and endurance, but the orcs did not say that the B+ level is definitely the level of full-time professionals, and what is even more rare is that even the speed is also B+ level, which is equivalent to taking into account endurance and agility.
However, compared to the orc warriors, the real horror should be their mount, the Wasteland Wolf, although their individuals are not as powerful as the powerful monsters, but the terrible thing is that they always act at the same time, unless they have wings, no beast can stop their bite.
Wasteland wolf
Talent: Hunan Vision
Intelligence: D-.Stamina: A. Speed: A+.
There is actually some difference between the evaluation of monsters and intelligent creatures, just like Lilia, he has A-level agility, but it doesn't mean that he has the strength equivalent to that of a magician.
The same is true of the Wasteland Giant Wolf, in terms of combat power, it is only equivalent to an ordinary professional, and the magic power contained in the body has all become strengthened** and speed.
Unlike intelligent lifeforms, which also accumulate mana for combat, Steppenwolves only fight with bites and claws.
But when the orcs and the wasteland wolves are combined, they are powerful enough to rival the powerful combat power of the earthwalker-level knights, even if they are not protected by sturdy armor, they can still have the strength to make opponents fearful.
One, two, three, these orc wolf riders obviously did not intend to hide their whereabouts, but the natural protective color of the wasteland giant wolf, coupled with the white costume, made them naturally blend into this wind and snow, and it was difficult to find their whereabouts.
"12 heads? That's probably the number of an orc squad. Arthur estimated the number, this time it was not the sporadic wolf riders he had seen before, but a fully organized squad, which meant that more wolf riders were behind them, and the distance was probably not too far.
Under the command of the city wall, a large number of tenant farmers and soldiers under the city wall hurriedly roasted the fire, and stood on the wall with weapons under the leadership of the yeoman farmers.
In a battle where either you die or I die, you can't play any tricks to hide your strength, and only by letting your opponent know that you are strong, you will hesitate.
It wasn't that no orc-wolf riders had approached Morado before, but they were only small groups of more than a dozen people, and their mission was to scatter and raid unsuspecting towns, and a well-armed and walled town like Morado was not their goal.
"There are two heads missing, it looks like I'm going to report the news."
Today was different, however, as it was clear that the opponent would no longer be scared away, and by the time Frick had led his men down to the walls, the number of wolf riders had changed.
