『Chapter error, click here to report』

Historically, Erebeth was a mad and fiery avenger, and the current Erebeth is a calm and cruel executioner. Because that Erebeth had nothing, now she has a younger brother who has become the center of her life.

When the frightened orcs drag their families away from their burning homes and head out into the dark forest in the snow. Instead of chasing them as they thought, Erebes stayed in the orc village. She knocked down several houses in a row. My sister carefully picked a hidden place, ate something, and slept peacefully against the hot wall......

No matter how heavy the wind and snow are, it can't hide the traces of hundreds of people. Besides, the corpses that froze to death and died of injuries along the way are the best signposts. Erebeth wasn't worried about losing her ...... What's more, those orcs may not be able to make up their minds and fly away!

People have a fluke mentality, let alone orcs.

Sure enough, ten hours later, when the snowy sky turned slightly white, the orcs came back in circles...... That night, they braved the heavy snow to run around in the dark woods, and nearly half of the orcs froze to death or disappeared. Those orcs who left the large army in the escape obviously could not survive, the winter of the Winterless Forest is so cruel, it is difficult to survive without a group.

Although there are trees everywhere, it is common knowledge that anyone who grew up on the edge of the forest should know that living trees are wet, and that trees store water in their bodies in the winter and drop leaves to reduce water evaporation – and that wood cannot be used to make fires. The only exception is birch trees, whose bark is oily and can easily ignite.

Other trees are cut down and dried for at least half a year before they can be turned into dry firewood for fire.

So you see the northerners split the logs into long, short and uniform wooden petals, and stacked them along the side of the wall to form a hill. The main purpose of that was not for ease of access, but for drying the moisture in the firewood.

The primeval forests around here have been in shambles by orcs. The orcs were lazy, and all the small trees with the thickness of the bowl near the village were cut down by them, and the rest were thicker than their waists, and only two people could hug them. How can this kind of tree be used to make a fire?

I managed to dig up some dead branches from under the snow and barely managed to cope with it in the middle of the night. The strong and more powerful are in the inner circle, and the thin and weak are on the outside. When the sky was slightly bright, dozens more were buried by the heavy snow, and then the orc tribe fell into disintegration. A small number of orcs resolutely longed to flee farther away, but most of the orcs were still worried about the little family in the village and were reluctant to leave, and finally came back in circles.

Seeing the smoky but warm villages, and thinking of the food that might have been thrown everywhere, the orcs began to secrete saliva...... The strong orcs quickened their pace and overtook the group.

However...... "whoosh"!

A beast bone arrow shot steadily into the eye socket of the leading orc!

"Roar, roar~!" The arrow was fiercely struck! The orc roared, flicked his eyeballs and arrows, and raised his axe! Orcs are afraid of being attacked by a dastardly sneak attack, but orcs are never afraid of head-on combat!

However, "Poof! A trailing steel arrow pierced the orc's throat with force...... If you have the ability, you will continue to roar?

But this arrow did not deter the orcs, but only aroused their ferocity. "There aren't many of them, kill them! Eat! More orcs drew their weapons and charged the village! After a night of grievances, now the orcs urgently need to vent!

*****

Erebeth fought and retreated.

She didn't have to fight these orcs.

On the one hand, he was cold, hungry, and exhausted, all supported by the ferocity that he had aroused for a moment; On the other side, he rested and was full of physical strength, collected the arrows of the orcs to replenish the long-range weapons, and made arrangements in the village in advance, completely waiting for work.

More than two dozen orcs were shot dead in the charging path, and a dozen were accidentally killed by traps. When the orcs storm the village, they find that the hateful "little man" has disappeared again!

But the orcs didn't care, and they began to cheer loudly, "Victory!" ”

"The enemy has already run away, there is only one left, and the orcs are not afraid!" The orcs who rushed into the village cheered, like warriors who had won the battle. In the eyes of the orcs, it doesn't matter if there is only one enemy, two fingers can be pinched to death - they will never admit that there was only one attacker last night!

Not to mention admitting that most of the casualties in an orc village of hundreds of people were caused by themselves...... Now that the shadow of Erebeth cannot be found for the time being, the warriors who have won the battle feel entitled to enjoy the spoils of war - to fill their stomachs with the food that has not been burned!

So the leading group of orcs dispersed in an uproar, and no one chased Sister A at all.

All the orcs rushed into the surrounding ruins in a frenzied search for something to eat and stuffed into their mouths!

After running all night, they are already starving! Besides, even if they are not smart, they know that the remaining food is definitely not enough for everyone to eat, so it is better to let yourself eat and support first, and how many more days can resist!

Erebeth didn't leave the village in a single breath, she watched as she retreated. Seeing this, he immediately turned around and killed several orcs in a row with his bow and arrow. Anyway, this kind of orc arrow is more than 20 steps away from the head, and it is better to use it directly when carrying a load! As a result, the orcs did not resist at all...... The orc, who was eating wildly, saw his "companion" fall in front of him, and at most shrank behind the wall, without blinking his eyes!

Take up arms and resist? Hehe, it's impossible, it's impossible to pick up small arms before eating! You can kill casually, so that if I don't continue to eat, I will lose!

There were more than a hundred orcs in the back who were about to rush into the village, and they really didn't think that an elf could make any big waves, let go and let you kill how many can you kill? At this time, nothing is as important as eating! If Sister A is melee with a sword, they may also pick up a stick. But Sister A stood far away with a bow and arrow, and if she wanted to chase so troublesomely, she might not be able to catch up, forget it......

As a result, the next group of orcs thought about the same as before, and when they saw that the strong ones were eating their food, their eyes were also red!

There is only one thought left in the narrow mind, grab! Eat! If you don't grab it, you'll be eaten up!

In fact, even if the winter food stored in a village - regardless of whether it is an animal corpse or a human corpse - is burned once, saving up together can at least allow these orcs to carry it for more than ten days! After all, although there is less food, the number of orcs is also less than half, how can they withstand this blizzard.

But when a group of orcs go berserk and start looting, each one just wants to eat good! The unpalatable grain was spilled and trampled into mud, while the orcs clung to the side of the meat! As the first orc lost his mind and picked up the axe, the red-eyed orc began to gasp for breath, slashing wildly as they continued to stuff things into their mouths...... A scuffle over food broke out!

Sitting aside, Erebeth finished shooting the orc arrows but was still left unattended, so she finally spread her hands and turned away.

You go on, I'll wait for you to finish.
