Chapter 650: The Battle on the Ice Sheet (Part II)
These cunning humans!!
Bobo rode on the broad back of the Sloamon and looked at the snowfield in front of him with an unkind face, and beside him, the other orcs were also gasping for breath, originally Bobo thought that as long as he followed those terrified humans, he would be able to catch them sooner or later. Because the speed of the Slo beasts is faster than those human war horses, and the snow covered with heavy snow also affects the speed of those war horses. But I didn't expect these humans to be unexpectedly cunning, although their speed is not faster than their own, but these cavalry are always twisting and turning, not at all the human cavalry that Bobo has seen before, but I have to admit that although this look is very ugly, but it is unexpectedly effective, the speed of the Sloe beast is fast, but the flexibility is insufficient, many times those orcs are about to catch up with their prey, but the other party suddenly turned around, Ran away from the other direction, which made the orcs scream in anger. What makes these orcs even more angry is that they have been chasing these humans for so long, but they haven't even fished a single hair of the other party, originally these orcs still expect to be able to catch these humans and their war horses to fill their stomachs, but now, the food has not been caught, and they are tired to death, and the cold wind is blowing, so that the original momentum of these orcs has suddenly decreased a lot.
Just as Bobo was staring viciously at the scattered black dots in the distance of the ice field, suddenly, an orc behind him shouted loudly, he rushed to Bobo, stretched out his hand and grabbed the arm of the orc patriarch, and then pointed back with a panicked expression.
"Bobo, back, black smoke, what a big black smoke! Fire! β
What the?
Hear here. Bobo was stunned, he hurriedly turned around, and soon, the orc patriarch saw the black smoke billowing in the distance behind him, which made Bobo's heart sink suddenly, of course he knew it. What's the direction of the smoke, these cunning humans, is this their plot?!
"Let's go!!"
Bobo turned around without hesitation, and then he reached out and took a large, horn-made horn from the side of the Sloamon's saddle, and blew it on his lips. Soon, the muffled sound of the horn echoed above the ice field, and the orcs who heard the horn suddenly turned around. Shouting at the beast beneath him, he galloped in the direction of the fortress.
"It seems that the lord's side has succeeded."
Looking at the thick black smoke in the distance, John sighed helplessly, before this battle, in order to be able to maintain cooperation with Rhodes, the two sides had agreed on many codes, among which this intensity was released. The condensed black smoke signified their success, and John was asked to lead the cavalry to prepare to withdraw support. But in fact, John felt a little helpless about this. He always felt that Rhodes was walking on a very dangerous path, and that in the face of these inflexible orcs, his ability to win a big victory did not mean that he could also attack in the face of those strong enemies. Although strictly speaking, John is good at crazy charging tactics, but his tactics and his personality are completely opposite types, this young man is a very conservative and cautious person at heart. Naturally, he didn't want Rhodes to always risk this to go into battle. But now, here he said it doesn't count.
"All right, boys!"
Watching the orcs in the distance recede like a tidal wave, John shook his head, leaving the strange thoughts in his head behind him for a moment. Then he raised his right hand in the air and called out loudly, and then he reached forward and slashed down hard.
"It's up to us!!"
The sword pierced into the orc's solid chest without pause, and the scarred orc, who was already scarred, let out a reluctant wail, and raised the stone hammer in his hand high, and smashed it forward. In the face of the opponent's attack, Marfa calmly and skillfully withdrew his long sword, and then rolled on the spot, avoiding the bombardment of the huge stone hammer. But the orc's attack did not stop because of this, he seemed to have no concern for his penetrated chest, and roared angrily and stretched out his left hand to grab the man in front of him. And just when the orc's huge palm was almost about to grab Marfa, a thin golden barrier suddenly flashed in front of Marfa's body, and with the appearance of this barrier, the orc's attack was also slowed down, and Marfa did not let go of this opportunity, taking advantage of the moment when the orc's huge body was stagnant, he hurriedly jumped up, the sharp long sword in his hand turned into a bolt of lightning, and then penetrated the orc's head from the bottom to the top, this time the other party finally had no further movements, only to see that the orc's body was soft, Then he fell to the ground without a sound.
Seeing that the enemy in front of him was completely dead, Marfa put away his long sword, he turned around, looked at a petite and cute spirit master not far behind him, smiled at her and nodded, and seeing Marfa's expression, the spirit master was slightly red, and then lowered his head a little embarrassed.
After the mercenaries stormed the fortress, the situation quickly turned one-sided. This abandoned fortress was built by humans, and it was not suitable for the huge bodies of the orcs, and those orcs were not able to stabilize immediately when they were first attacked by the sudden attack, and now they have been completely pushed into the fortress by the mercenaries, and in that small space, the huge bodies of the orcs can hardly exert their full power. And the mercenaries under Rhodes, who can now be said to be private soldiers, use their flexible bodies and narrow spaces to maneuver with each otherβββ except for one person.
"Die!!"
Anne raised the adamantite heavy shield in her hand high, rushed forward like a humanoid tornado, and even the human with the shield slammed into an orc who was attacking the spirit master, only to see that in front of the girl's terrible impact, the strong and huge orc was directly knocked out of the air like a paper paste, but Anne did not stop her movements because of this, on the contrary, she screamed and continued to step forward, only to see the girl standing on the ground with her legs staggered, and then she clenched the adamantite heavy shield with both hands and smashed it forward, With a roar that was enough to make people's hearts tremble, the poor orc was directly smashed to the ground by Anne's shield, and for a moment the flesh and blood were splashed everywhere. If this murderous scene in front of me had been seen by ordinary people, I am afraid that they would have been paralyzed to the ground in fright. But in Anne's eyes, it made the girl more wild, she even turned around like this, and the pure gold heavy shield in her hand did not dodge and met another orc who jumped high from above, and the weapons of the two sides collided, making Anne's body sink involuntarily, but. That didn't make Anne dodge.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦οΌοΌβ
No one noticed that at this moment, Anne let out a few beast-like roars in her throat, and her emerald green eyes also flashed bright green brilliance, and then before the orc could react, I saw that Anne actually held the shield and smashed the other party directly into the stone wall next to her, only to hear a roar, and the orc's huge body was completely submerged in the cracks of the rubble, while Anne still gritted her teeth and moved forward. Under her movements, the passages and walls that had fallen into disrepair next to them immediately began to shake violently, and then falling rocks rained down on the two of them.
"Annie! Danger, get out of here!! β
Seeing the girl's figure in the crumbling passage, Lijie next to her couldn't help but call, but hearing Lijie's call, Anne did not return to the spirit masters as quickly as before. On the contrary, after completely crushing their own enemies. The girl stood up slowly, she looked left and right, as if she was completely unaware of the danger she was in, and just as Lijie was about to rush over and pull the girl back, she saw Anne suddenly stretch out her right hand.
βββββοΌοΌβ
Lijie didn't notice what was happening, she just felt a strong wind whistling past her. Then there was a soft "poof" sound behind Lijie, and when Lijie turned around, she was greeted by blood and skull fragments, and an orc who had lost his head fell to the ground with a staggering head, and his eyeballs flew half a circle in the air. Then it slammed into the protective barrier in front of Lijie, turning into a puddle of meat sauce.
Seeing this scene in front of her, even Lijie couldn't help but turn pale and felt a little disgusted, but she quickly turned aroundβββ and then was surprised to find that Anne didn't know when Lu Dao had returned to her side.
"Don't worry, Lijie, Anne will protect you, just keep rushing in!"
"Hmm............ Hmmm.................."
In the face of Anne speaking, Li Jie nodded a little hesitantly, I don't know what Lu Dao is about, she always feels that this Anne in front of her is a little strange, the girl at this moment is a little less innocent than usual, but a little more wild and irritable momentum like a beast, even Li Jie, who is most familiar with Anne, can't help but be a little careful about her at this time.
The fire flickered.
Thor grabbed the scimitar with both hands and quickly retreated backwards, but with his movements, the red-haired woman who had been hiding behind Thor stretched out her hand, her pupils shrank like a lizard in that instant, and then the red-haired woman took a deep breath, opened her mouthβββ and a roaring stream of flames erupted from the woman's mouth, like a flamethrower.
The blazing red flame shot directly into the gate in front of him, and soon, the miserable screams of the orcs sounded inside, but the half-demons did not intend to stop there, just as the red-haired woman closed her mouth and retreated, another young man with horns on his head stretched out his hand, accompanied by a low groan in his mouth, dark green, full of poisonous smoke was scattered from the man's fingers, blending with the flames, and soon, the screams inside were heard getting weaker and weaker, and then completely disappeared.
It's a good job.
Seeing the performance of his subordinates, Rhodes was very satisfied, although this was their first actual battle, and the strength of the orcs was strictly not comparable to the elite group under Rhodes. But what Rhodes wanted was not just for them to defeat the orcs, but for the discipline and execution of his men. At the moment, whether it is Joey, Lando, or the new Thor and other half-demons who have followed him for a long time, they have shown very good discipline, although the tacit understanding between them is still insufficient, but the gap in strength can still ensure that these people can win without danger. In particular, the performance of Thor and other half-demon descendants made Rhodes even more satisfied, as creatures mixed with demons, most of these half-demon descendants have the ability to manipulate fire, ice, and create poisonous fog and black smoke. It is precisely because of these abilities that they are alienated by humans. But right now, Rhodes is in need of their strength. And the facts have also proved that in such a narrow space, once wrapped in flames and poisonous mist, even the strongest orcs have only one way to dieβββ although it is impossible to use it against the Night Dragon Kingdom. But it's more than enough to deal with the maggots in the Land of Light.
While Marfa and Thor and the others were suppressing the orcs inside the fortress, Joey and Lando outside were not idle. Joey and his thieves set traps around to deal with the orc cavalry who were about to turn back. Lando and his rangers peered around from the top of the tower to keep out the orc cavalry.
Everything went in order.
Looking at this scene in front of him, Rhodes was a little distracted, this time he didn't make much effort, these orcs with an average of more than thirty levels were still dangerous to Rhodes' subordinates, but in Rhodes' eyes, they didn't even have a fraction of the experience points, so in addition to helping them get rid of the two orc shamans who were relatively dangerous. Rod had been watching his men from the sidelines, and now their orderly actions made Rod a little distracted, and he even returned to his memories of the game in an instant, and at that time, the same was true of the players who followed him. It's noisy, noisy, but with a bit of nostalgia.
"Hurry up and suppress the Eastern District, we can't hold it on our side! Don't be confused. AOE hold down and hold them out! β
"Number eight. Where are you bitch? Get back for me, I'll kick you out of the line if you don't come back in ten seconds! β
"I'm going to go, those shameless skeletons are really crazy! Hurry up and blow the bridge up! β
However, this is not a game.
Rhodes came back to his senses, and the joking dialogue of the players faded from his memory, where every battle was a matter of life and death. It's completely different from the game where you can die and start over, where you can still joke with the spirit master who comes to resurrect you in a soul state when you die on the ground, but here, even with the help of the game system. Rhodes was also reluctant to try to see if he had the ability to resurrect himself in situ after death.
He wants to survive, he wants to win.
And now, it's a start, a beginning. He has been preparing for this coming moment for a whole year, although it is not complete, and it is also lacking compared to the power of Rhodes in the game, but for Rode, this is a good start, and he also hopes to have a good end.
"Report to your lordship, we've finished suppressing the fortress!"
At this moment, Marfa's voice appeared, pulling Rhodes back into reality, and hearing Marfa's report, Rod nodded, but soon, he noticed that Marfa seemed to have a little hesitation on his face. Sure enough, just as Rhodes looked at Marfa, the middle-aged mercenary seemed to hesitate, he was silent for a moment, and finally spoke.
"My lord, it's like this, when the brothers were searching in the fortress, they found some orcs, and they ..............."
Marfa didn't finish his sentence when Rod stretched out his hand to interrupt him.
"What about Lijie?"
"Huh?"
Maybe it was because Rod's question was too jumpy, and Marfa didn't react for a while, but he still gave a quick answer.
"Miss Lijie and they are currently treating the wounded soldiers outside, we have not suffered much losses in this battle, only sporadic casualties, and we should be able to deal with ..............."
Before Marfa could finish his words, Rhodes interrupted him again this time, he turned around, looked at the other mercenary beside him, and spoke.
"Tell Lijie to let them exit the fortress with Thor and get ready to take on those orc cavalry."
After saying this, Rod turned around, looked at Marfa, and nodded at him.
"Take me to see it."
Then, Rod commanded.
Under the leadership of Marfa, Rhodes soon came to the depths of the fortress, which was supposed to be the place where the family of the owner of the fort lived, but now it was dilapidated, outside the hall made of stone, Rod saw several heavily armed, nervously looking at the mercenaries inside, but soon, Rod saw everything inside.
I saw that in this hall, there were thirty or forty young orcs, they did not look very old, at this moment these young orcs were huddled in the corner, trembling and hugging each other, a pair of frightened eyes staring at these foreign invaders uneasily, and not far in front of them, there were several female orcs lying corpses.
"We just found out here, and then we met resistance, and the brothers killed these orcs, but these ..............."
Saying this, Marfa stopped, he didn't know how to explain it. These young orcs are certainly a danger, but if he wants to kill these young lives, even if it is these evil young lives, Marfa feels that he really can't do such a thing, so he chooses to report to Rod, hoping that his lord can make a satisfactory decision.
Rhodes stood in front of the door, looking expressionlessly at the young orcs huddled inside, among them, there was a small orc who seemed to sense Rod's gaze, he stood up bravely, holding a wooden stick in his hand, trembling in front of the others. Rhodes looked quietly at the young orcs, and after a moment he turned and gestured to the mercenaries beside him, signaling them to leave. Then he looked at Marfa.
"You know, we're here to keep the inhabitants of this area from being attacked and threatened by these beasts for decades to come."
"Of course I know that, my lord............... But ..............."
Rhodes held out a hand to stop Marfa from talking, and he glanced at the orcs again, and then Rhodes stretched out his right hand and threw it down. As he moved, bright red cards emerged from Rod's hand, and the red lotus flames burst out, followed by the hellhound rushing out of it, staring at the prey in front of it, claws and throwing to the ground, letting out a low roar in its throat, and then howling and lunging into the room.
At this moment, Rod's left hand flashed, and he didn't know when he pulled out the long sword at Marfa's waist, and then he threw it forward.
"Boom!!"
Explosions rang out, and roaring flames rose into the sky, engulfing everything.
"Now, it's over."
Rod turned around, looked at Marfa, and said with a calm face. (To be continued.) )
