Chapter 358: The Orcs Come to Rob
The ten people did confirm that the thirty-year-old man in front of them, who looked like a sick scholar, was the person in charge of the reception, and the person on Dean Chris's side, they were very relieved, and when they saw Lin Xi directly asking about it, the person who was in charge of comparing the tokens just now said directly: "After we landed on the dragon, we began to sneak into the dense forest two miles from the border line, but we encountered orcs."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Xi was immediately stunned. "What did you say? orcs?"
"Yes, we sneaked for more than a mile, and suddenly a dozen or so strong orcs danced out from the side, and then, before we had time to fight, nearly a hundred orcs suddenly appeared in all directions, and we were attacked on our backs and three of our companions were captured, so now the captain ordered a few of us to protect the personnel who operated the magic crystal long-range cannon, and the rest of the guards all went to pursue the orcs. ”
After hearing this, although Lin Xi roughly understood the reason why the whole thing happened, he was even more puzzled.
"Although the strength of the orcs is great, but the strength has not been very good, you are all the elite of the elite selected from the palace guards, how can you not be able to defeat them? Even if one guard deals with five orcs, it should be very easy, right?" At this time, it is no longer the time to be polite, and if the doubts in his heart are not resolved, it is difficult for Lin Xi to have a way to deal with the three points that were captured.
The person who compared the token seemed to be a little embarrassed by Lin Xi's words, his face was embarrassed, and he said: "Actually, it's not that we are not strong enough, but that they are all dancing and looking very excited, and what is even more terrifying is that although I have also fought with orcs, I have never seen such orcs, their speed and strength seem to have climbed a lot, and they are all desperate to launch a crazy attack, which is really terrifying." Until now when he said this to Lynsey, this man seemed to be palpitating and conspicuous, and the shock and surprise brought to him by the riot that had occurred not long ago had not been completely eliminated by this day.
Lin Xi could see from this person's expression and demeanor that this incident was probably not as simple as a simple orc robbery.
"Dancing with your hands?" said Lynsey to herself.
"Yes, it's like they're crazy and can't control themselves, and I suspect they're being controlled. The man spoke out on their side.
"That's how it should be. Lin Xi pondered for a moment and nodded.
Although it is not necessarily a strange thing for orcs to migrate from the west to the north, Linsey's knowledge of orcs makes him think that the orcs are acting abnormally.
The wisdom of the orcs determined that they could not find a place to settle down and rely on the land to grow crops and harvest food to make a living, what they did every year was to frantically loot food.
And if the hungry orcs ran to the north all the way, naturally it was also to fill their stomachs, why did they only capture three people and leave after attacking these squad members dressed as hunters?
Moreover, it is to be caught, not to tear people apart or fall to death on the spot!
If the background and time of this incident are linked, Lin Xi can be more sure that this is someone with ulterior motives, using orcs as a cover, so as to achieve their ulterior purposes.
It's just that transporting the magic crystal long-range cannon is an extremely secret thing, and only he knows about it when His Majesty and Chris's seniors are out, so how did the person who learned the news and then intercepted it halfway get this top-secret news?
Who is this man?
Perhaps the only way to get the answer is to find the orc, and find out who is behind it through the orc.
Lynsey was quick to decide.
"It's getting late, and the few people in charge of assembling the cannon are protected by guards, standing still and protecting themselves. Me and my brother, you can catch up now. Lynsey said to the man who had just spoken.
"However, it is too dark to look for it, and besides, it has been so long since the incident happened, I am afraid it will be difficult to find any trace of the orcs. The man was a little puzzled.
"Don't worry, anyway, let's hurry up. Lynsey didn't want to say more, but said very simply.
This person is actually an acute person, and he is even more cool when he speaks and does things on weekdays, but the incident he encountered today is too important and strange, which makes him a little confused, and when he heard Lin Xi say this, he nodded immediately without any doubts about Lin Xi's identity.
"A few of you are responsible for protecting them, everything is based on protecting them and yourself, don't appear rashly, don't light a fire, don't do anything with monsters and other fierce creatures unless you have to do it, you know?"
After that, without waiting for these people to answer, this person followed Lin Xi, who had already walked several meters away, and began to show the way.
"What do you call a brother?" asked Lin Xi with a slight smile.
"My name is Shi Gang. ”
Then, Lin Xi also briefly introduced himself, and then said: "Brother Shi, are you in the right direction?" The reason why Lin Xi asked like this is because in the dark forest, once the direction is wrong, the matter of finding someone will be lost.
"Brother Linxi, I have carefully checked it several times, and there will be no mistake. It's just that now the dense forest can only see a distance of less than ten meters, how can we go after the orcs, although there are hundreds of those guys, but the dense forest is so big, they only need to change one direction at will, and it will be difficult for us to find it. Also, I'm afraid it's hard to find a companion who set off before. ”
Lin Xi nodded, knowing that what Shi Gang said was right. If the orc attack is really controlled by someone behind the scenes, then with this person's strategy, he will definitely change direction and get rid of the pursuit after he succeeds.
As long as the three of them and the space rings they carried are in hand, it means that the complete magic crystal long-range cannon will never be assembled, and attacking the church can only be a flower in the moon mirror in the water.
However, since Lin Xi was so confident that he only let Shi Gang accompany alone, he must have already had his own plan.
"Xiaobai. ”
Lin Xi took out the broken knife pinned to his waist and called out clearly.
"Brother Linxi, who are you?" Shi Gang immediately asked curiously.
At this moment, a wave of water suddenly shook around the broken knife, and at the same time, accompanied by a crisp "babbling" sound, a chubby little guy with a snow-white body like a little penguin ran out with joy and plunged into Lin Xi's arms.
Shi Gang opened his mouth wide on the side, looking dumbfounded, and he didn't say half a word.
Because it was so shocking that it was even beyond his realization. How can a cute bird jumping around be able to come out of a broken knife, this is really incredible, not only the bird is strange, but the broken knife is also mysterious!
"Transform, little one. We're going to take to the skies and find people in the jungle. Lin Xi then said to Sahuan's Xiaobai.
After hearing this, Xiaobai, who was constantly making noise, immediately jumped from his arms, and regardless of Shi Gang's surprise, he quickly completed his transformation, and the big white bird with wings spread for two and a half meters suddenly appeared.
