Chapter Eighty-Eight: Iron Hoof
"Oh"
"Oh"
"Oh, oh~"
“......”
The wolf was in a sturdy posture, running fast on the plains, and there were orc soldiers with hideous faces and shaking weapons in their hands, staring at the prey in front of them with excited faces and howling like intimidation.
It was a caravan-like crowd fleeing in panic with several wagons, which rolled over the ground and brought out clearly visible ravines.
The caravan people were panicking at this time to throw the goods to the orcs chasing behind to block and reduce the weight by the way, it seemed to be bags of spices, the orc warriors raised their hands and swung their axes to cut off the bags that were thrown over, a large piece of dry goods were scattered in the air, and before they could completely fall, the wolves had already rushed past like lightning.
A large area of special fragrance spreads on this land, and the smell is quite pungent, but whether it is the chasing party or the chased party, there is no time to pay attention to this situation now.
Because of the lightness, the caravan guards had broken away from most of their companions who were relatively slow at this time, and ran to the front with a little excitement, they seemed to think that they were out of danger, but in fact, what they didn't know was that more enemies were waiting for the rabbit in front of them.
If someone looks from the sky, they will find that the panicked caravan humans are like a herd of buffaloes in Africa, not too slow, but they cannot escape the pursuit of fierce beasts and lions.
The lions scattered and chased after the prey group in front of them in an encirclement posture, letting out bursts of excited howls and causing the prey to scream in panic.
At the front of this hunting ground, the Lion King sat on the grassland floor unhurriedly, with a team of guards beside him, watching the panicked prey run in his direction, revealing a bloody grin.
The human caravan only stared at the pursuers in the rear, and did not realize that there was actually a greater danger ahead, so their fate was already doomed.
The sound of screams, laughter, and the creaking of a wolf eating bones, the site of the Scarlet Plains was like a living hell, the smell of blood was pervasive, the heads of the caravan humans were scattered like tomatoes, and there was still a great deal of fear and hatred in the eyes of the dead.
Orcs don't like to eat human heads, so every time they hunt down a human, they will throw it away, some anthropologists believe that the orcs are doing this to create panic in human society, but if Tudyk were to answer at this moment, he will scoff at it, and by the way, cook and eat the scholars who are full of gibberish.
Tudyk Ironhoof is short and thin, with a clean face, and his appearance seems to be handsome among orcs, but his slender fangs are really not beautiful, and his thin figure is not very pleasing among the orc tribes who worship force.
However, he doesn't need the likes of the orcs, and he doesn't need to fight with his thin arms and legs, because he is the "military advisor" of this group of orcs, responsible for making battle plans after the orcs find their prey, rather than rolling up his sleeves and charging with the orc soldiers.
Just like just now, the caravan could have organized a certain resistance force, but under the purposeful play of the orcs, there was no decent resistance at all, and those who did not achieve anything were killed by the orcs.
This playful tactic was custom-made by Tudyk.
He is the military advisor of these orcs, or he can be called a shaman. However, he may have been a trainee shaman, as he did not have the official shaman's signature wear items on his shaggy and messy hair.
Despite this, Tudyk also has a high status among the common orcs, such as now, whenever he passes in front of an orc soldier, he receives a good-natured and deferential howl.
Among the orcs, he is second only to the leader Elba Ironhoof.
When the orc warriors had finished eating, they rummaged through the caravan wagon, and Tudyk Ironhoof walked through it for a while, but it was not long before they turned around and left the area to the leader Elba Ironhoof.
"Did you find anything?"
The words low and loud seemed to clash a little, but the orc leader's voice perfectly combined the two words, the tone was soft, and the voice was solemn, although Tudyk was quite proud as a beginner shaman, but in front of Elba, he still subconsciously showed a deferential smile.
Facing the leader's questioning, he shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything, this caravan is just an ordinary human caravan, and our target is not in it. ”
"Damn it!"
Elba Ironhoof seemed a little impatient with this, and his deep voice unconsciously raised a lot, which couldn't help but make the wolf under his crotch look a little flustered and clamp his tail.
"This is already the fourth caravan, but we still haven't found the target, the Ironhoof tribe can't withstand such consumption, the stars have been shining for so long, the old thing in Samuel City must have reacted. ”
"If this continues, my tribe is in danger of being wiped out, this useless search must be ended, I want to meet Lord Maggio!"
Elba, the leader of the orcs, looked at Tudyk with a fierce expression, as if he was not facing his own people, but enemies.
In fact, although Tudyk was a member of the Iron Hoof tribe, he became a trainee shaman in shamanism, and due to some shamanic customs, Tudyk really could not be called his own person in a sense.
Tudek's eyes were a little timid about Elba's ferocity, but he was suppressed by him in an instant, and he still put on that docile smile (the orc's expression was actually very weird), and said in a gentle, try not to irritate Elba: "I'm sorry Elba-sama, because of the plan to besiege Reef City, the mentor has already left the Scarlet Plains, and we won't see him anytime soon." ”
"Besides. ”
After organizing the language, Tudyk added, "Besides, the mentor specifically instructed him before he left, that he must find that target at all costs, so..."
He didn't go on with what he said, for he was afraid that continuing would irritate the tribal leader, who was emotionally unstable for some reason.
It's nothing to stimulate him, the key is that Tudyk is afraid that this orc, who looks very stable, but is actually extremely short-tempered, will not be able to control it and tear himself apart.
This is not impossible, although the status of shamans in the orc world is very high, but not higher than the orc leader, the role they play is basically the brain of the orc, is the role of the military advisor, but the orcs advocate force, has never liked to use their brains very much, in their cognition, the most powerful, is the highest status.
The Iron Hoof Orc in front of him was tantamount to a powerful tribal leader, and Tudyk was just a trainee shaman who had not yet been officially inaugurated, so he naturally didn't want to risk his own life to test Elba's tolerance for shamanism.
Orcs are irritable, much more serious than some Apocalypse Knights, because the source of their power is their own anger.
Fury ignites the blood of beasts, warhammers forge destruction, and the human bards sums up the power of orcs very well.
Perhaps it was because Tudike's humble and submissive attitude was harmless, or maybe Elba's anger was not as full as he had appeared, but the leader of our Ironhoof tribe simply continued to beat Tudyk a few more words in his threatening language, and then stopped.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Tudyk seems to have noticed that the wolf under the tribal leader's crotch looks relieved, which makes him a little ridiculous.
The orc leader had already turned his head at this time, looking at the orc soldiers rummaging through the caravan for something, and he didn't notice Tudyk's expression at this moment, and the gray hairy wolf under his crotch was grinning at the emaciated trainee shaman...
Although Tudyk had determined that there was no target they were looking for, the orc soldiers were still rummaging around the commodity wagons for something, as if they were looking for something or someone.
However, as Tudyk had said, there was no target they were looking for, so after rummaging for a while, the orc soldiers returned in vain.
The leader, Elba Ironhoof, didn't say anything about this, he just glanced at the returning soldiers, and whispered something that the orcs were not very willing to do.
"Let's go east!"
The leader turned to leave, and though he was reluctant to do so, the orcs followed him without hesitation.
"You're a great warrior, Lord Elba. Tudyk looked delighted, and complimented him from the bottom of his heart.
There weren't many caravans passing by in the southern part of the Scarlet Plains, and the fact that they had only encountered four strands of hunting for such a long time was proof of this.
Compared to here, the eastern part of the Scarlet Plains is where the caravans thrive, and if you go there, you have a much better chance of finding your target.
It's just that because that side is the focus of Semere City, and there is a certain risk for them to go there, Elba has always hesitated, but at this time he has made up his mind in vain......
"Do you want to open it?" Tudyk was a little puzzled in his excitement.
The orcs were ready to head to the Eastern Plains, but they hadn't gone far before they were caught by a faint howl.
"Spears?"
The orc leader's face changed, as if he was very concerned about the sound, and with his legs between the wolves, he directly reversed the direction and ran towards the place where the sound appeared.
Seeing this, Tudyk's face turned dark, but he had to follow.
