15 Weak counterattacks

When the orcs appeared, Charles was standing on a high hill of raised greenery, beyond a hilly terrain, and towards the east to the edge of a deep forest.

Because there was nothing urgent, his journey was not very fast, and he was not too far from the Haradin station.

So much so that when there were faint panicked screams from the ground behind him, he discovered this as soon as possible.

He hesitated, not knowing what was going on, but after listening carefully for a while, he suddenly turned around and ran in that direction.

The short figure ran very fast in the green hills, and if anyone watched from the side of the road, it was estimated that they would only see his figure disappear in a flash, bringing a light breeze to whirl.

In just over ten minutes, he reached a rather high hill outside of Haradin's residence.

Looking down, you can clearly see the orc soldiers who are wreaking havoc in the large area of the home, as well as the large army fleeing in panic.

Although the distance is not close, relying on the vision of the elves, the familiar figures who are constantly being slaughtered still come into view one after another.

Normally, orcs are no longer able to move in the sun, they are nocturnal creatures, and their bodies will be very weak when they appear in the sun.

However, at the moment, this group seems to be extremely excited!

Charles noticed the anomaly, but he was even more annoyed that the peaceful place in front of him, who had lived for more than twenty years, had been so destroyed!

So in the courtyard closest to the high hill where he was, three dirty orcs who were trampling on the corpses of a family of three were searching for loot in front and back of the house, and suddenly fell to the dirt ground inexplicably, and slid away from the wooden house at great speed!

I didn't see any enemies, but their legs seemed to be tightened by ropes, and they kept pulling hard in a certain direction, like a forest trap made of ropes!

They let out panicked, high-pitched screams, but that didn't prevent them from being pulled to a blood-spattered green landslide in front of the yard.

Then I heard the sound of three sharp weapons pouring into the body, and three arrows that broke through the air from afar suddenly shot into the brains of the three orcs like lightning!

This happened quickly, and because the Haradin houses were generally not so close apart that no orcs noticed anything unusual here.

As a result, more than a dozen cases occurred in succession from the Haradin settlements.

The invisible ropes ranged from one or two to seven or eight, and each raid could cause a half-orc to be thrown into chaos, and then the arrows without the power of the backhand died.

More than thirty Haradins survived, but it was a drop in the bucket for the entire community.

……

Staring at the nearby hill, a mother and son rushed to the house in a panic as two orcs were killed by arrows, and then scanned the vast and chaotic hills around him, and Charles felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

At this moment, as his body grew, the number of shadows he could control had increased to ten, but unlike all his previous talents, his ability to control shadows could not be used without restraint.

This ability is like the latent strength in the body, and it will be tiring if you use it continuously, and you will be tired if you use it without moderation.

Although it is possible to recover after a short rest, it is obviously too late to face this environment where death can come at any time.

"I can only do my best and obey the destiny of heaven."

Moving his fingers and arms, which were full of soreness and even pain from the constant archery, Charles turned to look at the group of people he had saved before and said, "Hana, you ride that horse to the north and ask the elves there for help!" ”

Hearing this, the half-grown boy named Hana hurriedly turned around and left, running towards the courtyard that had just been cleared.

There was a young white pony on a leash.

Charles continued: "The rest, the old man and the child, find a place to hide. Those who have the ability to fight can gather together and act together, and they can save a family. Proceed with caution, but shoot fast and don't give the orcs any chance to signal! ”

The first brown-haired man in the crowd gritted his teeth and nodded, and then beckoned seven or eight men with rudimentary bows and arrows behind him to quickly leave the place, cautiously and angrily approaching in other directions.

They usually need a certain degree of concealment when hunting, so they are no strangers to this kind of behavior at this moment, and as for whether they can successfully carry out the rescue, they can only resign themselves to fate.

The other old and weak women and children who were gathered on the top of the hill also acted at the same time, and they all ran to the cleared area behind them and hid deep into the area.

None of these people had survived the fugitive army, and they were already in despair, but the presence of the Charr brought new hope.

Charles was already a well-known presence in this place, but when he showed his superior fighting ability and saved them, everyone obeyed him without hesitation or suspicion - even though he didn't look like he was even ten years old.

The Haradin counterattack began.

In fact, although the Haradins were scattered due to the distribution of buildings in the gathering place before, it was precisely because of this that the half-orcs who remained in the gathering place also unconsciously dispersed!

When survivors who are familiar with the terrain fight back, there are naturally certain advantages!

Implicitly filled with the fury of the attackers, the sharp arrows quickly shot one unsuspecting orc after another from all hidden corners.

Silent shadows lurk in the dark like poisonous snakes to accumulate strength, and under normal circumstances, they lie dormant quietly, and if there is an accident, they will quickly stretch out their attacks!

Seven or eight hunters who usually assassinate hundreds of enemies were a little rusty at first, but as the sun went down, their behavior became more and more familiar, and in the end they didn't even need to use the shadows of the Charles!

Humans are a group of animals in need of guidance, and although they were previously embarrassed by the orc raids, now, as they unite and have a clear purpose, they have taught their enemies a very painful lesson!

For half a day, the sun slipped and the dusk was stained with blood.

In the face of these scattered enemies, the Haradin warriors who roamed around like guerrillas had shot nearly a hundred of them so far!

The number of kills is very high, but unfortunately the number of their kindred rescued is very scarce, and there are only five or six who can be replenished to participate in the battle.

Because most of them died tragically under the orc blade before they could be rescued.

It was a sad truth, but the Haradins, who were currently in the middle of the battle, had no time to pay attention to it, and their eyes were focused on it, and the tight string in their hearts was urging them to kill and kill the enemy all the time!

It's just that the development of things can't completely go according to the wishes of those people, and the number has dropped sharply, even if the orcs have poor discipline and distance from each other, it is enough to detect signs of wrongness.

A dull, hurried horn whined, and soon after, the orcs of the gathering place came running out from all directions and were united.

Not long after, a shout full of anger suddenly swept through the entire gathering place, and the chaotic and heavy footsteps gathered into an army, and the untidy but unified began to search!

……

"Charles, what are we going to do?"

Listening to the faint sound, a group of people hiding in the shadow of a certain hill looked at each other because of this, and some people asked nervously.

Although they had gone on a killing spree before, it was done in the shadows of the enemy.

At this moment, there are at least more than two hundred orcs in the camp, and if those of them who are less than a tenth of them are to confront them head-on, it is tantamount to looking for death.

"Hide, you must not go toe-to-toe with them, and then act when the opportunity arises."

Charles replied in a low voice.

But after saying this, he showed no sign of fleeing, and remained in place, his eyes fixed on the corner of a dirt road not far from the hills.

Within a few seconds, he quickly pulled out an arrow from the quiver on his back, took his bow, paused briefly, and let go!

Whoosh——!

Lightning-bolted arrows flashed over the road at dusk, followed by a flash of black blood!

It was an orc cavalryman running around the corner of the road.

It may have heard something, or it may have just passed by, but as soon as it emerged from the corner, it was hit in the head by Charles's arrow, and then fell under the wolf!

However, the gray-haired wolf under it was not frightened by this, but grinned after the master fell, and rushed towards the direction where Charles and the others were hiding without hesitation!

Someone wanted to shoot an arrow when they saw this, but at this moment, Charles suddenly took the initiative to run towards this fierce beast.

The dozen or so people in the back were flustered about this.

Although he had become more convinced of Charles' abilities along the way, it was a surprising fact to run out and confront a beast at this moment - he still looked very young after all.

Apparently they didn't know what Charles was capable of, so they were even more surprised when they saw the oncoming Charles dodging the wolf's attack sideways, and turning over with unusual dexterity.

Despite being beasts, half-orc beasts do not succumb to their enemies like horses, and may even bite back like crazy.

But what happened next made them breathe a sigh of relief.

The wolf ran and struggled wildly when it was mounted, but the one on it seemed to have roots in his ass, and could not move even if the bumps were violent.

He even had the leisure to draw the short bow in his hand into a full moon, and the sharp arrows were aimed straight at the wolf's head that was close at hand.

At first, the wolf did not give in, but he didn't know what was happening, but his struggling body became weaker and weaker, and his body seemed to be full of stiffness, and his attitude gradually "softened".

Finally, under the silent coercion of the arrow, it lowered its head, whimpered like a dog, and honestly stopped in place, letting the elf boy ride on it.

From the beginning to the end, the process was not even more than two or three minutes, so that the search voice in the distance did not even change in the slightest, and it was obvious that no anomaly had been detected here.

The people who watched the situation were amazed and puzzled, but they did not have time to dwell on it, for the one on the wolf's back immediately turned the wolf's head to look at them.

"What are you doing? Run! ”
