Chapter 298: Orcs Slaughter Village
"Captain, shall we go back and have a look, and don't let the orcs run away like this?"
A cavalryman broke the awkward situation and asked.
"Who to send back, to send back to die?"
Sanders' voice was hoarse, and his confidence was very lacking. There was silence in the team, and no one spoke, because they understood that Sanders was right, they had been defeated by the wolf cavalry when their morale was still alive just now, and now they were all in shock, and even if they met the wolf cavalry when they went back, they would be humiliated. Sanders finally understood a little why his father, who was as tall and majestic as a hero in their minds, would never return on the way to resist the orcs? Why would the Northern Legion, known as one of the most powerful legions of mankind, choose to stick to the fortified city when facing the orcs? All because the fighting power of the orcs is too terrifying!
"The other squadrons that have received the signal will come in a moment, and we will converge and search for the orcs. ”
After a moment of silence, Sanders gave the order to wait in place. Half an hour later, the cavalry squadron closest to them finally arrived.
"Is that the signal you sent? Where are the orcs?"
Looking at the blood on Sanders's body and the somewhat frightened appearance of his subordinates, the squadron leader who came over immediately realized what had happened.
Sanders had no face to tell the truth, so he could only tell the team from the source that his team had been attacked by wolf cavalry, and many people were killed and wounded. In order to prove that he was not vulnerable, he deliberately described the brutality of the orcs, and when he heard that the orcs actually ate the living in battle, the newcomer's face changed.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see where we encountered the orcs. ”
Although he still had palpitations, Sanders could only urge the horse to go to the front and lead everyone to the top of the orc's mountain.
"This is it. ”
By the time the two teams reached the top of the hill, the wolf cavalry had long since disappeared, and even the bodies of the soldiers who had died before had disappeared, leaving only some traces of dried blood where they had fallen.
Looking at the blood-soaked sandy land, remembering that they had seen the wolf cavalry eating people before, Sanders and his men understood what happened to their companions' corpses, their stomachs were a little uncomfortable, and some people even fell directly on the horseback and began to vomit.
"There were probably more than fifty wolf cavalry, and they went south by looking at the footprints. ”
After some reconnaissance, the whereabouts of the wolf cavalry were determined, and the number of footprints in the sand showed that the wolf cavalry were more numerous than the Sanders squadron had encountered, and it seemed that they had only encountered an outpost.
The patrol remounted and followed the trail left by the wolf cavalry, getting closer and closer to the area where the humans had gathered.
"There's smoke ahead, the orcs should have gone there. ”
In the distance, the patrol had seen black smoke rising from the valley ahead.
"No! It's a gathering point for refugees from the east. ”
The people on the patrol pass by here almost every day, so they are no strangers to this valley.
"Captain, where are you going?"
Sanders, who had been walking in the middle of the group, suddenly rushed his horse towards the valley of black smoke like a madman, completely ignoring the call of the team behind him.
"It's like the captain's home, and the captain's family lives here. ”
Someone explained. Realizing this, the patrol immediately sped up and followed Saunders, and when they entered the valley, they were immediately stunned by the scene before them.
The black smoke seen from a distance was emitted by the ignition of the tent in the village, and many corpses were poured all around the tent, with stumps and broken arms all over the ground, and a heavy bloody breath made everyone breathless, and many people vomited on the spot.
Sanders hurried his horse to a burning tent and rushed to the pile of corpses, rummaging through it.
"Ahh
Suddenly Sanders let out a desperate and terrible scream, then fell to the ground on his back and fell unconscious, and the patrol rushed forward to find Sanders lying next to him, two large and one small, and the bodies of two of the children were mutilated. No need to ask everyone who already knows what's going on.
"Why did you get here?"
Other patrols in the valley had already arrived first, and they questioned as soon as they saw those who came after.
"Orcs?"
The other captain didn't bother to answer the other team's question, but asked rhetorically.
"It's already gone. The orcs were attacking when we arrived, and when they saw that they were outnumbered, they began to retreat, and the captain of Harvey was chasing after him. ”
One of the team members replied.
"Today it was the turn of the captain of the Harvey Wing to be in charge of the progress patrol, and when he led the team to a nearby mountain, he happened to see black smoke rising from here, and knew that something was wrong, so he hurried over. If it weren't for Captain Harvey United, these orcs wouldn't have been so easily deterred. ”
After some conversation, the later patrol finally learned what was going on. By the time Harvey arrived, the orcs had already completed the slaughter of the village and were preparing to retreat with the fruits of victory. The fruits of this victory included not only the food used for relief in the village, the livestock raised by the refugees themselves, but also the corpses of the refugees. But Harvey's arrival interrupted all this, and his own soldiers were also shocked and even frightened by the brutality of the orcs. However, Harvey, who had fought with the most powerful dragon clan on the continent, did not take the wolf cavalry seriously, he rushed forward alone with a big sword, killing two wolf cavalrymen, and even one wolf cavalry was split in half by Harvey and his mount.
Harvey's bravery made the wolf cavalry realize that they had encountered a strong enemy, so they no longer wanted to fight, and with the help of the nearby terrain, they fled up the mountain, and with the help of the cover of the trees on the mountain, they fled all the way to the north, and Harvey led the men to chase closely.
The next day, Allen, who heard the bad news of the Orc Massacre, rushed over with all the members of the militia to treat and settle the injured and undead in the incident, deal with the aftermath of the dead, and investigate the cause of the incident. It is said that the militia has made detailed arrangements on how to defend against orcs for autumn hunting, how to patrol and warn, even if an orc infiltrates it should not escape the eyes and ears of the patrol, even if an orc is found to have broken in, the patrol warning should also be able to notify the aid in time, even if the aid is too late, at least the villagers can dodge first, but this incident obviously did not do.
Alan wanted to know the cause of the problem and how to improve it, otherwise the more than 200 refugees in the refugee gathering site would have died in vain, and the slogan shouted by the vigilante group "Return to the grassland to fight the orcs" was even more of a joke.
