Chapter 107: Fortified Camp

In order to avoid startling the snakes, no one was allowed to use transportation, and they could only move forward on foot, and it was already midnight when Bai Qi and the others arrived at their destination.

According to the requirements of the original battle plan, the Bai Qi team bypassed the valley where the orcs were camped and dived to a small hill in the northwest of the valley.

The hill is not high, but only 100 meters, and the slope facing the valley is gentle, only about 30 degrees.

Looking at the orc camp under the hillside, Bai Qi frowned slightly, and immediately understood the reason why the Silver Hand suddenly ordered the cancellation of the original plan.

The area of the orc camp was much larger than Bai Qi had imagined, and the camp was surrounded by a circle of rough and bulky two-wheeled ox carts, with herds of cattle and sheep inside the enclosure and orc shacks at the bottom.

The orc's shack is very distinctive, he will dig a big pit in the ground before setting up the shack, pile up a circular mound around the pit with the excavated soil, and then lean some logs with sharpened ends and about four or five meters long on the mound, one end into the dirt inside the mound, and the other end facing the outside, forming a defensive circle.

Later, they would use other wooden poles, which were also sharpened at both ends, but longer, and inserted one end into the annular mound and the other end close together to form a conical shelf, and then covered the fur on this shelf, and a shack was roughly built.

At this time, the orcs will light a bonfire in the hut and cook on the fire.

After eating, the ground in the hut was also burned dry and hot, at this time, the orcs would take advantage of the heat to put a thick straw mat in the hut, and then spread animal skins, a simple, sturdy and comfortable orc hut was built.

This peculiar shack has a lot to do with the living environment of the orcs. At this time, the social rules of the orcs had not yet been fully formed, and the battles between the tribes were very frequent. And although the orcs live in the steppe, they are not a cavalry race. Their physiques are too big, their bodies too heavy for horses to bear, and their wolves are too expensive to raise in large quantities.

Therefore, although the orcs are nomadic tribes on the grassland, they have not developed a civilization on horseback like the nomadic tribes on the earth.

Without the mobility of cavalry, the orcs had to pay attention to the defense of the gathering place, so this simple and strong shack was formed.

Although he had seen the orc tribe and this kind of shack that took both offense and defense before, Bai Qi had not thought of it at all. Orcs would set up such shacks in a makeshift camp.

In fact, the frequent wars made the orcs meticulously build this kind of defensive shack wherever they went, and only by lying in this kind of shack could they sleep peacefully.

Hundreds of huge orc shacks stretched for hundreds of meters, and some bonfires were lit between the shacks, which had not yet been extinguished, and the entire camp was fully photographed.

Look at the seemingly simple but sturdy camp in the valley. Bai Qi's brows tightened the tighter he felt.

The crowding of cattle and sheep on the outskirts of the camp made it difficult for them to sneak in silently. And even if they dove in, it's hard to create chaos.

With this well-defended shack, the orcs were in the event of a surprise attack. The first instinct was to stay in the shack instead of running around the camp.

Bai Qi understood, although they had thought about it a lot before. But Yan Zhan Ng still underestimated the difficulty of the task.

However, as a detachment leader. There was nothing he could do about the situation in front of him. You can only wait.

Half an hour later, the new battle plan was finally reissued.

Bai Qi looked at the new battle plan, thought about it, and seemed to have no good way to do it, so he couldn't help but shake his head, and gathered all the Darkwalkers and Ranger under his command and gave them a mission.

Since Bai Qi took the initiative to assign more ranged attackers to his squad, the number of warriors and dark walkers in his squad was very small, and the number of rangers and dark rangers was very large.

Accepting the task, the two Darkwalkers and seven or eight rangers quietly ran out of the camp and made their way to the orc camp below.

The same situation was playing out in the other seven squads at the same time.

After the Ranger and the Darkwalker left, Bai Qi asked his subordinates who had a loud gun in their hands.

Basically, every Space Soldier will have some guns to use to save their lives.

Hearing Bai Qi's question, some people raised their hands.

Bai Qi summoned these people to his side and assigned them tasks.

Touching the camp in front of the camp, the Darkwalker and Ranger unleashed stealth spells and blended into nature spells, and turned into the camp.

The Darkwalker's stealth is not only effective for humans but also for animals, and the Ranger has the ability to pacify the animals, so they infiltrated the camp without alarming the cattle and sheep on the outskirts of the camp.

One by one, the infiltrators cut the ropes that held the cattle and sheep together...... As time went on, more and more cattle and sheep gained freedom.

When most of the cattle and sheep were free, the infiltrators quietly left the camp and stopped by the bullock cart on the outskirts of the camp.

Then, the teams lying in ambush on the surrounding hillsides received orders and got up and slowly dived down the mountain.

After a few minutes, all the teams were on the outskirts of the orc camp and joined up with the rangers and the Darkwalkers.

After a few more moments, a unified command reached the ears of the eight squad leaders at the same time.

Bai Qi took out a high-powered rifle with his backhand and aimed the muzzle at the sky.

Seeing Bai Qi's movements, some of his team members took out all kinds of guns from the storage space and aimed them at the sky.

As Bai Qi pulled the trigger, the team members who raised the gun also opened fire.

"Da Da Da!" ...... "Bang! Bang! ”…… All kinds of gunfire suddenly resounded on the outskirts of the camp, waking up the orcs in the shack and the cattle and sheep on the opposite side of the ox cart.

The frightened cattle and sheep ran, and because most of the loud sounds came from the periphery, the frightened cattle and sheep naturally subconsciously ran towards the interior of the camp.

Seeing that the chaos of the herd had arisen, Bai Qi waved his hand, jumped into the ox cart, rushed into the camp, kept shooting into the sky, making terrible noise, and drove the herd towards the shack inside.

The orcs' responses were quick and uniform.

I saw that the shacks fell apart like flowers, and the long poles that built the shacks were pushed by the orcs inside and fell to the surrounding circular mounds, and some of the orcs were half-kneeling on the ground. Hold one end of these long poles and face the other end of the long pole outward. These long poles that build shacks turn into spears in the blink of an eye.

Some other orcs. Some grabbed their shields and stood in front of their gun-wielding companions, while others took up their bows and arrows and hid behind their companions.

Rudimentary and terrifying defensive positions erupted around the camp like fireworks. The chaotic herds were of no use for these defensive positions, and the cattle and sheep would subconsciously avoid the pointed wooden poles that protruded from the shacks, and the passages between the shacks were wide enough for the frightened herds to escape.

Seeing this scene, Bai Qi couldn't help sighing, turned over and put away his rifle, he knew that at this time, there were only two ways left in front of the space soldiers, attack or retreat.

The team leaders were more resolute than Bai Qi imagined. As soon as he collected his rifle, he received the order to storm.

Bai Qi did not hesitate to give the order to his team to attack.

After handing over command to Barrian, Bai Qi flipped his hand and took out his shield and orc decapitation sword, and was the first to charge towards the nearest shack.

A powerful scalp-numbing bow and arrow sounded, and more than a dozen sharp arrows shot at Bai Qi, most of them hit Bai Qi's high-held shield, but some of them hit him, and the sharp pain came immediately.

The arrows made by the orcs were crude and rudimentary, but large enough. Powerful enough, even if it is an ordinary bow and arrow in the hand of an ordinary orc, its projectile power is comparable to that of a dark green enchanted strongbow in space.

But that wasn't the reason why the sharp arrows they shot pierced through the dark blue armor on Bai Qi's body, from the arrows that pierced into the flesh. Bai Qi felt a strange spell energy.

The thing that made these arrows was clearly not an ordinary item.

Although the sharp arrow can pass through the armor, it does not penetrate deeply, and it causes some flesh and skin wounds. Bai Qi didn't stop walking, and rushed towards the shack. While loudly reminding the people behind him.

Rushing to a position seven or eight meters away from the shack, four or five long wooden poles that were originally used to build the shack poked towards Bai Qi. At the same time, a second round of sharp arrows came again.

Bai Qi didn't care about blocking the arrows, brandished the orc decapitator, and slashed towards the wooden pole.

To his great surprise, he almost slashed with all his might, and only cut off two wooden poles, which were blocked by the third wooden pole.

What Bai Qi didn't know was that the wooden poles used by the orcs to build their shacks were not ordinary wood, but a special kind of wood that grew in the cold regions of the north, which was called arrow white wood by the orcs.

In the orc grassland, there are many lakes and rivers scattered around, and wherever there is a water source, small forests can always be formed, and arrows and white trees grow in these forests.

The growth rate of arrow white wood is extremely slow, and it is only the thickness of the mouth of the cup for a hundred years, and the texture is extremely dense and strong, and ordinary steel knives can't cut it.

The orcs used arrows and white wooden bows and arrows, arrows, and shelves for building shacks.

In the eyes of the orcs, the size of a tribe is determined not only by the number of cattle and sheep they have, but also by the number of shacks they have.

In addition to being used to pull some necessities and furs, the most important function of the orcs' ox carts was to transport arrows and white wood.

Arrow Shiraki is so important to the orcs that the orc shamanism, who believes in animism, worships Arrow Shiraki as a god.

The vitality of the arrow white wood is very tenacious, even if it is cut down, it will sprout new shoots the next year, and as long as it continues to take root, the arrow white wood will never die.

Bai Qi was able to cut off three arrows with a single sword, and the white wooden pole already showed that his orc decapitator was a high-grade sword.

He cut off three wooden poles, and the remaining three poked at his body, and the orcs inside exerted force at the same time, and he couldn't help but retreat.

Bai Qi roared angrily, simply turned over his hand and put away the long sword, hugged the three long poles poked on his body sideways, and pulled it back violently.

Suddenly the roar of the orcs was heard from the shack.

The strength of the orcs is indeed amazing, Bai Qi alone could not compete with the three orcs, he had to activate the burning skill, with the help of the strong tide of qi and blood, using the skill of the charging skill, only to pull the three long poles out of the shack suddenly.

At this moment, there was an exceptionally strong bowstring vibration sound from the shack, and Bai Qi, who was exerting his strength, didn't have time to react at all, and was shot in the chest by an extraordinarily huge white bow and arrow.

At the front end of the bow, an arrow made of some kind of animal tooth pierced the heavy breastplate of the "Royal Guard" armor and pierced Bai Qi's chest deeply.

Bai Qi only felt a pain in his chest, and couldn't help but open his mouth and cough up a mouthful of blood.

Taken aback, Bai Qi hurriedly let go of the wooden pole, blocked the shield in front of him, and quickly retreated.

Behind Bai Qi, Barian had already commanded the indigenous warriors and space soldiers to line up in formation, but he kept his troops still, only watching Bai Qi fight alone in front of him...... (To be continued......)
