Chapter Eighty-Five: The Night Attack of the Orcs (Part I)

"Poof"

Udic's blonde hair flickered, and with a right palm, he firmly grabbed the giant axe that a normal person needed to hold with both hands, and slashed the orcs rushing over the hillside to the ground.

The slashed orc warrior was wearing only rudimentary leather armor, his body was almost cut off by the waist, and he was in a near-death state at the moment, with more breath and less breath.

A bolt of crossbow shot from the rear of the convoy.

Charles sat on a light warhorse, holding a small, single-shot crossbow in his right hand. Normally, this kind of tabula rasa crossbow is only an itch for orcs, and it can't do a few damages, but now dealing with a dying person is equivalent to the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

"Killed the Storm Orc Boss (Elite)."

"You gain 1,500 universal experience points."

It's noon, and the winter sun hangs high over the rugged mountain road, and the members of the marching Lionheart, including the Charles, are wrapped in a thick coat of clothing.

And the deeper you go into the mountains, the higher the altitude, and fortunately, Charr's physique has 15 points, which is considered to be passed, and it is not affected by altitude sickness.

From the early morning to noon, the convoy encountered the enemy a total of nine times, and the frequency was very high. Except for the first batch or two of green-skinned goblins, the deeper you go into the mountains, the shorter the interval between encounters with orc stragglers.

Just like this time, two groups of orcs rushed over at almost the same time, and among them there was even a level 10 elite orc, causing a lot of trouble for the team.

However, the ten veterans of the Lionheart Regiment are naturally not vegetarians. Now more than twenty orcs have all become the corpses of the mountain road.

"Class: Civilian lv. 10 (max) / Priest lv. 6 (22350/32000)."

Charles glanced at the properties on the retina.

70% upgrade progress.

There are less than 10,000 experience points left to level up.

After walking the mountain road all morning, he only used his crossbow to follow behind the Lionheart Regiment to pick up leaks, instead of personally going into hand-to-hand combat, he had to be more leisurely and leisurely. Although the efficiency of farming experience is not as good as farming in the Lizard Swamp, it is more convenient.

That's where the profession of pastor comes in.

If you change to a class such as a wanderer or a mage, it will not be so easy to gain the trust of the Wild Lion Udic and the Lionheart. And if it is a paladin, the adventurers are only afraid to be more vigilant. Because the holy warriors absolutely uphold the law and order, the people of the Lionheart Regiment live with their heads chained all the year round, and when they are accidentally injured, it is obviously impossible to have a few innocent lives on their hands.

Priests, especially those in the neutral camp, are actually extremely popular both inside and outside Cormier. That's why Charles considered believing in Ogma, the god of knowledge, in the first place.

Ogma is the oldest of the gods, and possesses great powers. In the dark context of "Dawn", the possibility of the god of knowledge falling is also very small. The gods of faith will not fall, and Charles will not have to worry about the loss of magic in the future, and sit back and relax.

"Clean up the battlefield."

Udic, the mad lion, commanded the only wanderer in the group.

The three carts were surrounded by corpses. Most of the corpses were mutilated, either missing arms and legs, or the entire head was cut off, and the scene was very bloody.

But the blonde girl sitting in the first cart, with her head propped up in her palms, was dozing off with a confused face. Bloody scenes and battles seemed to be the order of the day for her.

This is Udic's daughter, Chrissy, who is just nine years old today.

Soon after, the convoy continued its journey up the mountain trail.

Udic walked at the front, his face was very unsightly, and it was obvious that the number of orcs harassing the convoy exceeded his expectations. It seems that the orcs have been recuperating for decades, and are coming out of the depths of the mountains one after another.

If you are riding a horse at full speed, it will only take you half a day to cross this mountain road and reach the Tifanton region.

But the battles were too frequent.

When the sun set in the west, the convoy did not reach the mountain tribes.

"There is a natural cave nearby, and adventurers who enter the mountains often settle there, and we spent the night in the cave."

Charles rode up to Udic, and the blond man frowned at the sunset-covered mountain trail, then withdrew his gaze and said to Charles, "I hope you will remember the promise you made before you left." ”

"If there is an invincible danger...... Take Chrissy with you. ”

He lowered his voice for the rest of the sentence, and only Charles could hear it.

It seems that the mighty barbarian had a premonition of something.

Charles nodded silently.

The natural cave is located in a low-lying area not far from the mountain road, and a clear stream flows nearby, completely obscuring the cave by virgin trees.

Outside the cave, there are defensive traps arranged by other adventure teams, and the environment inside is dry, free of poisonous insects and foul smell, which is indeed an excellent field foothold.

The ten members of the Lionheart, including Udic, were clearly busy, leaving only Charles and the blonde girl Chrissy in the cave.

Chrissy was very curious about Charles one day, and whenever she looked at him, her big eyes showed respect and closeness. It seems that the priesthood has established a glorious image in Chrissy's heart, which should have something to do with her living environment in Dangerous Rock Castle and her father's status as an adventurer.

"Hello."

Charles smiled at the little girl, then took out a blanket tray and sat on it, took out two cups and a bottle of fruit wine, and poured the cups with a light purple syrup.

As soon as the wine is poured, a fruity aroma that rivals the intensity of red wine permeates the air.

Chrissy's small and delicate Joan nose wrinkled, sniffed the wine, and seemed to smell the apples, cherries, plums and other ingredients in the fruit wine, and her beautiful eyes suddenly became bright.

"Would you like a drink?" Charles handed over a wine glass, and the little girl hesitantly took it, glanced at the hole and then at Charles, lowered her head and took a sip, and then couldn't stop.

This is a purple hill fruit wine from Tesser, another vast country on the other side of the continent, which can only be bought in a port metropolis like Sussar, and a small bottle costs 10 gold coins.

After a day of driving on rugged mountain roads, it is a good choice to drink some fruit wine and drink to relieve fatigue and refresh your spirits. There may still be a fight tonight, and Charles doesn't want to go offline so early to rest.

Now you're only 6,000 XP away from leveling up.

Charles glanced at the experience gauge and decided that it would be a wise choice to team up with the Lionhearts. The natives are not like the players, who will struggle to mend the knife and pick up the leaks, and for them, whoever kills the monster is the same.

The Lionheart Regiment has five warriors, two rangers, a wanderer, a half-elf druid, and the last one is the regimental leader Uditz, a barbarian.

Wanderers set traps on the periphery, and a ranger retrieves fresh game.

Night.

The crowd sat around the campfire, and several warriors carefully pulled out the refined oil they had brought with them, and wiped their scimitars and broadswords over and over again.

The cold air filled the cave, and at about ** o'clock at night, the primeval forest in the outermost part of the cave came from the sound of rustling.

"Bang."

The mad lion Udic threw the ale glass in his hand, stood up with an awe-inspiring expression, and roared:

"The orc cubs are coming."

"Hold the terrain of the cave and hold on until dawn to avoid this catastrophe!"
