278: Searching (2)
When Marin was still some distance from the position of the knight who was driving the carriage and pulled the reins, and it was no longer a good idea to take the avenue, Marin took the war dog and the two girls and walked carefully along the top of the slope on the east side of the avenue.
This is the downwind position, and the wind from the northwest will bring the smell of green skin, but their smell will not be smelled by the other party.
Rounding a corner, Marin saw a dozen greenskins down the street.
As a race that has not been civilized, the greenskins had a name called strong orcs in the Middle Ages to distinguish the orcs living in the great woodland, and when Marlin learned this knowledge, he couldn't help but ask old Hoffman if there was a white-robed mage in this world with a brain in water.
There are thirteen greenskins on the streets, seven of them are warriors, armed with various melee weapons, they have strength, so the weapons are also varied, and stone clubs and stone axes are the most common ones.
The three are archers, the bow in the hands of the green-skinned archers is a very rough bow, if this thing is placed in the hands of humans, it is just some garbage, and the biggest target that can be hit more than ten meters away is the ground under each other's feet, as for whether it can hit something else, it depends on whether the other party's head is well connected.
Two of them were holding staves and looked like shamans or druids - the greenskins were proficient in nature, as shamans and druids say.
And the other one, at Marin's feet, the guy with a human crossbow was supposed to be the sentry they had set up in ambush to see if there were fat sheep or ideas on the sides.
It's a pity that it couldn't find the three Marin walking through the forest in gilly suits, and the nearly two-meter height he stood there betrayed him with his cyan skin, which was contrary to the environment.
In the end, he was attacked by Lorraine and Merlot, and was hanged to the ground.
Having assigned a target, Marin left Bloodroar and Fio and Merlot with the two girls, and then led Lorraine to the bottom of the slope, went around the slope from their blind spot to the other side, and then opened his bow.
The first target is to take a staff - killing the master first is simply a must to start a group, so Marin, who opened the bow, opened the bow to the green skin close to him, this is a target that looks short in the green skin, he is peeling a deer on the side of the roadbed, when the arrow drilled into his head, the guy who was squatting in front of the deer did not fall for a while, and the green-skinned counterpart with his back to it seemed to hear the sound of the knife falling to the ground, and it cursed while eating the rabbit raw, and then when he turned his head, Marin's second arrow arrived.
Arrows swooped into its head, knocking it to the ground and announcing the arrival of death to everyone present.
As the three archers turned their attention to Marlin's side, Marlin saw Jessica leaning out from behind him, and the arrows from her pulley crossbow burrowed through the back of the archers who were close to him, knocking it to the ground, and at the same time that a burst of fire from Faye hit the two approaching archers, and the flames instantly ignited their fur and clothing, and the green-skinned archers rolled on the ground wailing.
The remaining greenskins split into two groups, five rushing to Faye's side - the mage was the most fearsome target.
The remaining two Greenskins with stone axes rushed to Marin's side.
Marlin turned the roadbed into a quagmire with fossilized mud, and the two greenskins threw themselves headlong into it.
Then he started to shoot Greenskin with his back to him very happily, and after Marin clicked two times, and Jessica also clicked twice, the last one rushed uphill, roaring and rushing to Faye's hideout Greenskin touched Bloodroar.
Then it was split in half like a chopping wood.
Descending the slope, Marin let the three small trees let the wind on the top of the slope, then took out the revolver and pointed at the green skin that was still fluttering in the mud: "Can you speak human language?" ”
The two green skins were still fluttering.
Jessica led Faye downhill.
Marin fired a shot at the quagmire between the two greenskins.
One greenskin paused, and the other was still fluttering, and it looked like it was about to flutter up.
So Marlin pulled the trigger on him, killed the greenskin in the mud, and then pointed the gun at the man: "Can you speak human language?" ”
"Don't hit me!" Greenskin raised his hands.
“…… Who did you learn this from? Now it was Marin's turn to be stunned.
"My adoptive father, I was raised by humans, but I eventually ran away because they all said I was a wild seed." Speaking of which, this green skin is still very human-like with a sigh.
Although Marlin really wanted to see some kind of lying on his face, this guy's lingua franca was too standard, and Marlin studied Sidney Southern in Carterburg, and it was still a bit tongue-twisting to have two pronunciations.
And just like that, everyone knows you're not your adoptive father's child.
“…… Did you attack some young humans the other day? ”
"Nope." Greenskin shook his head, "We were just kicked out of the woodland by a pair of ogres two days ago, and those two ogres still have the marks of slaves, but I don't know who their owners are. ”
"Ogre?" Marin was silent for a moment - the intelligence did say that the ogres were attacking, but unlike what they thought, it didn't seem to be these greenskins who were traveling with the ogres.
"Yes...... Are you, are you a steppe elf? This greenskinned question made Marin wonder - his father's bloodline is indeed a steppe elf according to the current information, but how do you know a greenskin: "How do you know." ”
"When I was a child, my adoptive father was a servant of a steppe elf master who taught me to use the lingua franca...... When I saw you, I thought of him. Speaking of this, the greenskin sighed: "I thought I had forgotten my past, but today I found out that I hadn't, so ...... Are you going to kill me? ”
“…… Are you the leader of these greenskins? ”
"No, the shaman you killed in the first place is the leader, and I took him out because he knew the lingua franca, originally wanting to negotiate with the human caravan in exchange for some food." The greenskin was silent for a moment when he said this: "I will not tell you the address of the camp, although I am an orc, I also have a conscience, this tribe has taken me in, I can't betray them." ”
Marin thought for a while, and finally put away the revolver: "You go, but I don't recommend you go back to that camp, your companions are all dead, only you are not dead, what will they think of you, you shouldn't need me to teach you." ”
The orc watched as Marin didn't move, and Marin beckoned the two girls to follow him.
When Marlin and the others left, the orc began to struggle, and when he came out of the mire, he saw two horses from the north appear at the junction, and then he saw more horses and knights.
The orc thought for a moment, and finally retreated to the side of the road - to get out of the way, which meant surrender.
But the group of six knights eventually stopped in front of it.
One of the knights jumped off his horse and walked over: "Green-skinned orc, who was shooting just now." It's a very standard orc language.
The orc was silent for a moment, then nodded: "There was a group of people who killed my companion, and then they asked a question about ogres and went out into the woods. ”
"Ogre, Your Excellency, it looks like someone is also after our prey."
"It's nothing, the ogre is the size, and his head can't only catch our bullets." After the knight dismounted, he and his companions bypassed the green-skinned orcs, and one of them threw him a piece of jerky: "These days, orcs who can speak the standard lingua franca are rarer than beautiful women, take care of your head, maybe there will be a green-skinned orc tribe who can speak human language in the future." ”
"You must be dreaming, boy." The old knight laughed.
Waiting for the group of five to enter the street, the orc glanced at the sixth person who was in charge of watching the horses: "Can I go?" ”
"Let's go, that team didn't kill you, and we won't kill you, after all, just like my friend said, green skins that can speak human words are indeed very rare."
So the orcs began to go in the opposite direction of their camp.
After walking dozens of steps, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling behind him.
Subconsciously turning his head, he saw a guy dressed in ragged clothes similar to those of the three children.
The latter drew his weapon from the back of the knight's heart, then looked at the orc: "Are they here to find the ogre?" ”
“…… Yes. "Zeng's heart is beating wildly - this man is very dangerous.
"Not Marin's people, they're tech hunters." The man examined the body, then turned his head to look at the air beside him.
It was only then that the green-skinned orcs realized that the air in that place was distorting.
Eventually, a young human appeared there.
He nodded: "Our slaves seem to have attracted hunters who shouldn't be attracted, but it's okay, kill them all, and then ...... Find Marin, didn't he want to take my life, let me see who the real hunter is in the wild.
"What about this orc." The man asked.
"Kill him." The young man turned to leave, and the man raised the revolver in his hand.
"Good night." He said.
It was also the last word that the orcs heard in this world.
