Chapter Twenty-Six: Into the Beast Realm

Standing on the watchtower of the fortress, Degaut and Emmarin watched as a small group of red figures disappeared into the dense forest in the distance, it was the Darry team that had gone to carry out the plan to destroy the orcs.

"Old fox, do you think they can really succeed? I don't know ...... bottom in my heart."

"Dude, you don't have to worry too much, Dariguia is an extraordinary person, since he has created the miracle of destroying five thousand people with more than a hundred people, he will definitely be able to do it again. Besides, isn't there Betat with him? I believe that the two of them should be able to cooperate. ”

"I'm still not worried, it's going deep into the territory of the orcs, and it's extremely dangerous, far more dangerous than killing the enemy on the battlefield. In case ......"

"Your worries are also reasonable, we can't put all our hopes on them, I think so, ask the country for help, and ask for the help of strong people with strength above level five, so that Darui and they fail, and we can also rely on our masters to contain those fire-breathing poisons. Although it is impossible to attack, it is barely possible to hold the fortress, as long as it can hold the orcs for three months, with their backward agricultural productivity, it will definitely not be able to withstand it. ”

Dai Gaote nodded helplessly, for him, who has always advocated attack, blindly defending is not his style at all, but unfortunately the situation is like this, and he has no choice.

"That's all it takes......"

In the primeval forest in the territory of the orcs, Daregaia and Betat are leading one hundred and twenty fire cavalry to shuttle among them, fortunately, the fire horse is a demonic beast, unlike ordinary war horses, it is almost impossible to walk in the forest, those value objects that are one or two meters high, the fire horse has no impact during walking, it is really a rare mount.

"Mark, where are we now? It's all the same, and I get dizzy to see it. Dari poured his saliva and slashed a poisonous snake at him.

It's been ten days since he led the team into orc territory. In the past ten days, except for the first two days, you can still see the road, these days have been spent in the woods, it is really unimaginable, how the orc army of more than 200,000 people ran to the border.

"Lord Dary, our current location is in the primeval forest on the edge of the orcs, and we are still two days away from the nearest big city. ”

"These orcs are really stupid, such a large forest will not be used, you know that it is a waste to let them have such a large area of territory. By the way, how far is the location from here?"

Mark looked at the map again, "At the current rate, it will take at least five days to walk, and the orcs in that place are very well guarded, even after five days, we may not be able to see it." ”

"Got it......"

At this time, Bettat came over, "Dari, it's not early, everyone's physical strength has been consumed a lot, it's time to rest." ”

"Well, everyone get off their horses and rest, and don't smoke while cooking. ”

All the horsemen let out a sigh, although they were always on their horses, and the physical exertion was not too much. But this is a primeval forest, full of rattans and vines, which must be cut with knives to pass, and the physical exertion is not small after a long time.

The crowd dismounted, then took out the food and gathered it on the fire horses, and began to heat the food with their innate fire magic. This is a method they have invented these days, which can eat hot food without producing black smoke, killing two birds with one stone.

Darry took the hot soup from Mark and took a big sip.

"Lord Betat, now that we have penetrated into the territory of the orcs, we may encounter the orcs at any time, you are a veteran of marching and fighting, tell us if you have anything to pay attention to. ”

"You're welcome, although there are a lot of things to pay attention to in jungle warfare, but we have a magical beast like the Fire Horse as a mount, which saves a lot of trouble. But the most important thing to pay attention to is the poisonous mist, once that kind of thing is encountered, it is almost certain to die. ”

Darry and Mark were intrigued and urged Bettat to continue.

"Toxic fog is a poisonous gas, it is different from fog in the general sense, it is not visible to the naked eye at all, you can only smell it with your nose. But once the nose can smell it, it's too late to run, so it's very dangerous. ”

"It's so terrible! I don't know how this poisonous fog came about, and if there is any way to restrain it. ”

"This poisonous mist is a colorless gas produced by the deterioration of decaying plant or animal carcasses after a long period of accumulation, and the smell is very light when it first smells, and it cannot be detected at all if you don't pay attention. But as long as it takes a long time, people will get dizzy and finally fall to the ground. The method of restraint is also very simple, as long as you can run out of the poisonous fog area and absorb fresh air before you fall unconscious. ”

Darry thought for a moment, and suddenly pointed at the Fire Horse, "Ordinary poisonous gases are afraid of fire, if we let the Fire Horse ......"

"No!

Before Darry could finish speaking, Betat interrupted him with a solemn expression.

"Another characteristic of this poisonous fog is that when the poisonous fog is too dense, once it encounters an open flame, it will emit a big explosion, which is no worse than the poisonous fire that breathes fire. So once our Fire Horses enter the poisonous mist, don't let them emit flames!"

"It's a terrible poisonous fog, it looks like you have to be careful. ”

After about half an hour, everyone finished their meal and recovered a lot of strength. These more than 100 Flame Cavalry originally only had one or two levels of fighting spirit, but because they cooperated with the Fire Horse for a long time, it greatly stimulated the improvement of their own fighting spirit, so now everyone's fighting spirit has reached the second level or above, and there are more than ten powerful ones, all of whom are already masters of the third level of fighting spirit.

These more than ten masters cooperated with the Fire Horse, and they could almost be compared to Hercules, who had just risen to the fourth level of his fighting spirit, and it was precisely because of this that Darui had the confidence to take only these one hundred and twenty people deep into the territory of the orcs.

Set off again, and when it was close to evening, he finally came to the edge of the primeval forest, and it seemed that he was not too far from the so-called orc city, and Darui used his golden eagle eye with all his might, and he could already see some orc villages.

"After a while it gets completely dark, raid the little village over there, and we'll spend the night in that little village tonight. ”

"Yes......"

In the darkness of the night, a dark red dragon rushed by, like a gust of hot wind into the orc village, followed by a chaotic shout, mixed with screams and roars.

"Poof"

Betatt slashed off one of the bearmen's heads, and his flaming horse's hind hooves raised and kicked another bearman's head.

"Fight quickly, don't let a bear man go!"

Watching Betat coldly slaughter the orcs who looked like they were old, weak, sick and disabled, Darry's brow furrowed deeply. Mark next to him saw it and hurried over.

"Lord Dari, there is no way to slaughter the village, you may not know, the orcs are very united, once our men show mercy, then our whereabouts will definitely be exposed, and then not only the whole plan will be ruined, but also our lives will be threatened. ”

"Alas...... I see, go ahead of you......"

"Yes......"

Looking at the hateful eyes of all the soldiers as they killed the orcs, Darry knew that the decades-long war between the two countries had made the hatred between the two sides accumulate to the point that it was difficult to resolve, as long as they met, it was either you or I died, there was no discussion at all.

At that moment, a bear man lying on the ground suddenly jumped up from the pile of dead bodies and rushed towards Darry with a rough mace.

Dari's all-angle vision saw him without turning his head, and he sighed slightly in his heart.

"Why do you stand up, how good it is to lie there, alas......"

The arc of the index finger of his left hand flashed, and it instantly burst the heart of the little bear man, and his body was less than a meter, and he fell down heavily, before he died, the eyes that were still very immature were full of hatred.

Darry shook his head and urged the horse to the side, it seemed that he knew from the beginning that the bear was playing dead, but he just didn't want to expose it......

"Lord Dari, all the orcs in this village have been wiped out, and there is not a single one alive. ”

"Got it, order everyone to dig a pit and bury all the orcs. ”

"Huh? this ......"

"What's wrong? Didn't you hear my orders?"

The soldier was startled by Dary's cold eyes, and Betat, who was next to him, came over with a sigh and waved the soldier down.

"Dari, I think it's okay to dig a pit, I can understand your mood right now, but we are soldiers, and soldiers have to carry out orders to complete tasks as their duty, if we bury these orcs, it will make people suspicious, and even guess our whereabouts. Only by disguising the scene as a demonic beast and then placing the corpse outside will not arouse the suspicion of the orcs. ”

“...... Forget it, just do what you say. ”

Darry felt tired, not physically but mentally, shook his head and walked into a house to rest......

The next morning, Dari had just woken up, and the experience of last night had caused him to not sleep well all night, so his spirit was very poor now. He had just washed his face with cold water when Mark burst in.

"Lord Dary, we found a team of ten orc cavalry outside the village, it seems to be very promising, you should go and have a look. ”

"Orc cavalry? that's really rare, go see ......"

Because of the backwardness of the handicraft industry, the orcs could not produce the necessary things for cavalry such as the saddle, so the orc army was dominated by infantry, anyway, they were tall and big, and the impact of the infantry was no worse than that of the human cavalry. Orc cavalry was usually a status symbol, and only the big ones could afford to ride.

Coming to a dilapidated house at the entrance of the village, Darui raised his eyes and looked into the distance. I saw a group of ten knights slowly coming this way.

At this time, Bettat also rushed over and asked about the situation.

"Dari, what are you going to do?"

“...... Robbing them, this team of orcs is likely to have a great background, although it is not a small risk to do so, but they will actually come to this small village, there must be something, rob them first. ”

"Good!"

Ordered his men to lay an ambush, and Darry and Betat sat in the middle of the village, without the slightest intention of hiding.

Not long after, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a uniformly dressed and well-armed group of knights advanced into the village. The sophisticated weapons in the hands of orcs are generally taken from humans, and most of them are damaged. It is very difficult to assemble ten complete sets of equipment without breaking in this way! This shows that this group of orcs is really big.

As soon as they entered the village, the heavy smell of blood hit their faces, and these orcs were taken aback, and when they saw Dary and Betat sitting there, their faces changed dramatically.

"Hmph, grab it!"

The shouts of killing sounded, and the fire cavalry that had been in ambush for a long time rushed out from both sides, drowning the ten orcs at once.

"Roar, it's a despicable human, warriors rush out, go and report to the Beast Witch!"

A leader-like creature roared loudly, but unfortunately their mount was just an ordinary war horse, which could outrun the fire horse, plus the huge difference in numbers, in less than three minutes they were all half-crippled, lying on the ground and humming.

Dary walked slowly up to the leader, his eyes coldly looking at him.

"Say, who are you? What are you doing in this village, and what kind of trick is that beast witch you just shouted?"

"Phew, despicable human, what is it to rely on sneak attacks, you have the ability to let go of me, and have a good fight with me! If you can beat me, I'll tell you!"

"It's ridiculous, as if all the captives would say that, and it seems to me ridiculous. ”

With a flash of the sword, an orc's head flew up, blood spraying the leader's face.

"Answer my question quickly, or you'll see the end. ”

"I won't say it, despicable human, if you have a kind, you can kill it. ”

"Really?"

Darry shook his head coldly, the sword light flashed three more times, and the heads of the three orcs spurted out in a large stream of blood, and even the cold-blooded style of the cold-blooded style made even Betat, who was beside him, feel a chill in his heart.

It was as if last night's experience had changed Darui all of a sudden, and today he exuded a chill all over his body, like a Shura who crawled out of hell and killed orcs without even frowning.
