As the sun was about to set, Quartermaster Dick packed Roddy into more than a dozen packages and handed them to him breathlessly—this time, he didn't look like he was asking for a bribe, but had a little more unspeakable respect in his eyes.

"Everything is ready. ”

Roddy took the package, nodded, and then turned to the soldiers behind him, who had changed into dark black clothes and wore blackened swords.

"Count your gear!"

The time of battle had finally arrived, but at this moment the scouts could no longer show much confusion and nervousness on their faces, because a day's training and explanations had already made them psychologically in the best state - the simple formula of "orcs are not invincible" had been instilled in their minds by Roddy, and the biggest fear of the "unknown" had disappeared, and they were now facing a group of enemies who already knew almost all their weaknesses.

So at this moment, the morale of this team is unprecedentedly high, and even everyone has a strong confidence in the upcoming battle.

Armed with a short bow and carrying six arrows, each carrying a package that Roddy had specifically requested, their swords in place and their armor fastened, the 14 scouts in gear turned on their horses and headed off into the distance as the sun set over the horizon.

Before leaving, everyone had eaten a full meal, and when they left Nolan Village, the villagers seemed to notice that these soldiers were different from usual, and they looked at the dust and smoke in the distance and were silent.

"Is this really going to work?"

Carter didn't quite believe that this attack could be as sure as Roddy said, he met the orcs twice, although he won the battle, but he would not have no idea of the strength of these guys, and these young people around him really wanted to meet the estimate of being slaughtered one-sidedly, although Roddy said a lot of orcs weakness, but after all, this is just a theory.

"Why not?"

Roddy looked at the vanishing sun in the distance on horseback and asked, pulling the reins in one hand and rubbing the hilt of the scimitar with the other, "Now is not the time to think about whether we can defeat the other party, because we have to believe that we can overcome this battle." ”

The last rays of light in the sky vanished.

The thirty kilometers of the distance passed quickly, and when night fell, the horses gradually slowed down, and finally, under the orders of Roddy, all the soldiers began to abandon their horses and move on foot.

The wind of the grassland still carried the faint smell of freshness, and the body crouched over a low grassy slope, and only the whining wind could be heard in his ears, and the orc camp with the light of the bonfire came into view when he looked at the distance of three hundred meters.

All the scouts crouched on the other side of the grassy slope, looking at the orc camp from afar, their faces serious - most of them looked at Roddy, not knowing how the temporary commander was going to attack.

As the leader, Luo Di licked his index finger, raised it to determine the direction of the wind, and then led the group of people to slowly go around the downwind, during which all the soldiers took out their short bows and set up arrows, ready to deal with emergencies at any time... Everyone was nervous at the moment, no matter how much Roddy had said about the weaknesses and flaws of the orcs before, when he really saw those guys who were more than two meters tall and whose arms were thicker than their legs, they could be completely calm, after all, there were only a few.

Roddy didn't expect them to fight valiantly, but his only request now was to forbid any unwanted movement - as they approached the orc camp, the young scouts could even hear the orcs talking loudly.

Walking in the front is Roddy, in the middle is Luger as a response and order to convey, Carter Palace, the group because of the morning training has a bit of a "order to forbid" meaning.

The camp was rudimentary, but there was a wooden watchtower on which a sentry was taking a nap. It's just that the sky is dark, and this sentry can't detect the more than ten human scouts who are downwind a hundred meters away.

Or rather, he didn't even think about the possibility of being attacked by humans.

Of all of them, only Roddy understands that orcs have worse eyesight at night than humans - this is the experience that Roddy has successfully learned from countless nighttime sneak attacks on orcs.

The camp in front of them was surrounded by ravines dug to prevent the charge of the horses, because the Orc Empire was poor in resources, and the only wood was used to build a watchtower, so they only had the strength to use this simplest way as a defensive measure... And this has caused a big drawback: when someone hides in these ravines in the dark, even the sentry standing on the watchtower will not be able to detect the sentry.

For Roddy, the key to the battle was not whether the scouts behind him could fight bravely, but whether his plan could be carried out smoothly - making sure that the sentinel's eyes were on the other side, Roddy led the scouts to quietly jump into the trenches on the turf, and after making sure that everyone was in place, he left a "standby" order, and then walked away silently like a ghost.

The essence of the "Ranger" profession lies in its strength when walking alone - it has the concealment ability similar to that of an assassin and a strong long-range sniping ability, so in the "Ripp", the Ranger can often play a greater and more active role than the Assassin on the battlefield with complex terrain.

At this moment, how much strength can Roddy, who is only level 2, exert his strength? For a guy who can penetrate countless games and can achieve the highest difficulty in the whole process without injury, this is a test for him to take the initiative for the first time since coming to this world.

The figure crept silently through the shadows, and by the time he reached the edge of the tent, which was only fifteen meters away from the watchtower, Roddy was clear enough to see the orc figure above. At this time, he seemed to be integrated with the grass, the gauntlets and weapons had long been blackened with fire and no longer reflected, and the whole person lay motionless on the ground, like a stone.

So... Now is the time.

The sentry on the watchtower yawned, and Roddy immediately took advantage of the brief few seconds to dodge under the watchtower - a distance that was difficult for the sentry to find, but on the other hand, the orcs in the camp could easily notice the uninvited guest- But everything was still quiet, and the few orcs who walked by in the camp were unaware, and Roddy's figure stood completely in the shadows of the tent and watchtower, because the only light source came from the campfire in the center of the camp, so he could easily view the entire camp structure without anyone noticing.

Tents, pens, and simple watchtowers, these are the only three types of buildings in this camp, and after rejudging the number of orcs, Roddy estimated that the number of orcs in the camp at this moment might be around twenty-five people - remembering that it took about five minutes to complete the entire building layout, patrol the ratio of troops, and route, and after all these preparations, he immediately returned to the trench not far away at great speed, without making the slightest movement.

Knowing oneself and knowing that one will win all battles, this sentence has been repeated for many years, but Roddy clearly understands its significance, and after taking the risk to investigate, he has already made a suitable plan in his mind for the next battle.

When Roddy reappeared next to the scouts, the silent but swift movements startled the young men, and Ruger was shocked, he understood what Roddy's skills meant, and it made him feel more at ease - at least the more Roddy was able, the better the chances of success in this battle.

"Take out the package. ”

Roddy made a silent gesture, and Ruger was the first to react, and Carter and the rest of the soldiers followed suit, and then they found that they were some arrows that had been stained with fuel, and almost everyone had been given a set of flint and velvet for ignition.

"The second team, follow me, the first team is on standby. ”

Roddy whispered, he missed the time when he could communicate with his comrades with only tactical gestures, but it was clear that these people in front of him didn't have that kind of tactical literacy at all. Calling the leader of the first team, Ruger, he added: "Have a team prepare three rockets each, and once you hear a scream in the camp, ignite it immediately, and then shoot the tents that are connected to the west, and then walk sixty meters along the trench to the west, and when you see me at the watchtower, you will rush straight into the camp, understand?"

Ruger immediately understood Roddy's tactical intentions and nodded solemnly in acceptance of the order.

"Carter, bring the second team with me. ”

Roddy looked up at the not-so-bright moonlight overhead, clenched his horned bow, and walked along the trench toward the east.

When the second team of seven scouts followed Roddy to the east side of the camp, all was silent. But the rapid heartbeat of the soldiers made their foreheads sweat slightly, the palms of the short bows were slippery, and the adrenaline rush caused the fingertips to tremble slightly—these phenomena were unavoidable, and Roddy would not say much, for even he had been the same when he ambushed the orcs for the first time.

Calling all the scouts of the second team to himself, Roddy arranged the next task in a low voice - "There are three orcs on the regular patrol of the camp, plus a total of four watchtowers, we need to kill them in one concentrated shot, and then immediately climb the watchtower to attract firepower and shoot as much as possible, Ruger will support us later, and when they rush into the camp, just listen to my orders." ”

His gaze swept over the young men and Carter beside him one by one, and then pointed to the small round shields that he had carried as spare equipment and said, "After climbing the watchtower, one person covers one person and shoots arrows, don't let yourself become the target of the other party, that's all I have to say, understand?"

The bright eyes in the darkness were a little nervous and expectant, and seeing everyone nodding, Roddy picked up his horned bow and motioned for everyone to take arrows - the patrolling orcs would pass in front of the trench in a few minutes, and all they had to do was wait and deliver the fatal blow.
