Volume 1 [Border Clouds] Chapter 9 Wolf Cavalry Raid

Roddy was sure that the orc camp in front of him was the first sharp tooth that the orcs stretched out their tentacles to the kingdom of Karen - because of its existence, the orcs began to gradually encroach on the border villages of the Karen kingdom in the next few years, until about three years later, when the kingdom was in turmoil, a large-scale war of aggression began!

Although Roddy, who is determined to save this kingdom, has a lot of enthusiasm, he understands that he is not qualified to explain the far-reaching significance of this humble camp to others, after all, he is only a level 1 legionnaire, if he casually says something "alarmist", who will believe it?

He needs strength, he needs to speak, he needs to be strong.

Remembering the shock he had given these scouts at the shooting range today, Roddy coughed lightly and said loudly, "This should be a typical small orc camp, judging by the number of tents... There should be twenty-eight to thirty-four. ”

"There are traces of improvised animal pens on the periphery of the camp, which proves that there are wolf cavalry on the other side, and there are eight people on and below."

"The opponent's combat effectiveness is not strong, and the wolf cavalry has already gone out to inspect, and there should be about twenty people left behind."

These words startled the scouts - although they could occasionally see orcs in the distance on the border, or get some information about the barbarians from the rumors that had been heard, none of them had ever actually looked at the tents to give such an accurate judgment.

What's more, what Roddy did before yesterday, of course, they remember clearly in their hearts - it was a coward who turned pale with fear when he saw a wild wolf, where did he make a veteran posture that calmly made a judgment at this moment?

But remembering the terrible scene of all 12 of his arrows hitting the same spot today, and then beating Luger, and remembering what he had done before, they had to believe in one fact... Roddy, it's not as simple as you think.

"You... I- I mean... Do you think we have a chance of winning if we attack? ”

As the captain, Carter wanted to say a few words to maintain his prestige, but obviously he was not confident enough, so he simply changed his tone and asked politely.

Roddy frowned and looked ahead for a moment, then replied cautiously: "I don't think we have any hope of fighting hard, and there is also the possibility of encountering the opposing cavalry at any time, and the wolf cavalry usually doesn't go too far, because they-"

Before he finished his words, he suddenly turned his head, and at the moment when all the scouts were unknown, he pulled the reins violently, and said to them in a hurried tone: "Quick! Go down! Don't stay here! ”

Carter frowned, but he did not hesitate to follow Roddy to turn around and rush down the bottom of the grassy slope, hiding out of the field of vision of the orc camp, but the military quality of the group was not as good as Roddy imagined, and the two scouts had poor riding skills, and they commanded the horses for a long time but still couldn't get down from the top of the slope immediately...

Roddy said in his heart that he was going to suffer - although he hadn't seen anything unusual from his vision just now, he would never forget the unique sound of the wolf's footsteps landing on the ground, which proved that the expected orc cavalry force nearby was approaching!

Although the orcs here are all level 2-4 scum in memory, those cavalry used to be the nightmare of all novice players - their mobility is powerful, and once they are attacked by wolf cavalry, if they don't have enough ranged strength, ordinary players can't compete with it... Even a level 10 legionnaire with a heavy shield could not withstand the wolf cavalry's dash!

"Damn it!" Roddy heard the sound of wolves running in the distance, and suddenly stopped hiding it, knowing that the other party had discovered this team, and no longer continued to dodge at the moment, but immediately said loudly: "Get out of here!" Hurry up, hurry up! ”

At this time, Roddy didn't care about letting Carter give the order, he knew that the end of the later step was likely to be the annihilation of the whole army, and the words in his mouth unconsciously carried the might of the former "shadow hunter", so that the soldiers unconsciously obeyed.

He swept his gaze into the distance, and immediately sorted out a reasonable evacuation route based on his memory, turned his head and shouted: "I know the route to leave safely, follow me, and no one will look back!" ”

Carter, of course, knew who was the most reliable at this time, and instinctively responded: "Everyone, keep up!" ”

The team immediately started, and as soon as their horses rushed to speed, a group of rapidly advancing black shadows appeared on a low slope in the distance...

The wolf knight of the orcs really outflanked Roddy as Roddy expected!

Those wolves are not as tall as war horses, but they have a strong body like a calf, and with the fierce orc warriors on their backs, they are full of momentum.

Several scouts who heard the strange noise behind them turned their heads, and they were immediately frightened, and immediately kicked the horse's belly to follow the team-the three new scouts who joined the second team just didn't quite understand why Captain Carter would listen to Roddy's words, but at this moment they really understood the reason...

The number of these wolf knights was as accurate as Roddy's judgment! No more, no less, exactly eight!

A fear rises from the bottom of their hearts... If it hadn't been for the decisiveness of Roddy's order just now, I'm afraid they would have been bitten by those guys straight down the hill at this moment!

Thinking of this, several scouts couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Roddy, but when they looked back, they found that Roddy's route at the moment was a little strange - they didn't understand why Roddy's "safe exit route" was a rough hillside, which was supposed to make the horse run the fastest... Shouldn't you smooth the downhill surface?

They don't know that although the orc wolf is strong and powerful in the short distance, its endurance is far inferior to that of the war horse, and the scout party is basically climbing the hill at the moment, and those wolves will become slower because of their size when climbing, and the advantage of short-distance pursuit has been dragged down a lot, once the kilometer distance fails to catch up, the war horse that steps on the gentle road will definitely be able to throw these exhausted wolf troops away.

Because of the long-term peace in the kingdom of Karen, they have long forgotten the combat methods and characteristics of these orcs, but Roddy knows all about this, and there is another reason why he picks up the slope: those wolf knights are not only strong because of the charge, but also have a powerful "net throwing" skill, once the running war horse is wrapped in the net, the end is needless to say. So at this moment, above the slope, the wolf cavalry's net-throwing skills are also limited, which invisibly allows the scout team to avoid another big risk.

Luo Di's seemingly simple tactical command, the combat wisdom contained in it, is not at all something that Carter and others can think of in a short period of time.

At this time, he took the lead, crossed the last point of the long uphill mile, and then led the team to sprint down an extremely long slope - when the downhill appeared, the orc wolf cavalry, which had been suppressed and could not catch up, seemed to have finally seen a turnaround, and the leading guy roared, trying to sprint to catch up, but then found that his wolf was physically exhausted, and even stuck out his tongue a little out of breath in the process of descending...

So, as they watched as the distance between them and the human scout team was widened again, they screamed in a state of utter anger...

But the brutality and stubbornness in the orc's bones made this team of wolf cavalry not give up, after a long downhill, Roddy has turned back to confirm the identity of the other party - the unified black wolf, should be subordinate to the orc Rohal's hammer troops, their identity is similar to Roddy at this time, but the orc kingdom is a tribal system, and their "chief" is similar to the duke who is now sitting in Holier City, they are all real power figures, and the scope of power is larger than the duke.

With their rudimentary clothes, rusty scimitars, and unarmoured wolves, Roddy had already judged that these guys would not be more than level 5, the lowest rank among the wolf cavalry. Just with the impact of the wolf, the attack power of these orcs wielding knives is at least four or five times higher than that of ordinary orcs, and it is by no means easy to deal with them.

Luo Di was not surprised that the other party was in hot pursuit, after dealing with orcs for so long, he had already figured out the temperament of these green-skinned barbarians. So he decided to lead the scout team uphill once more...

The speed of the team's advance slowed down a little, and the wolf cavalry in the rear immediately closed the distance.

They screamed and chased after them, but when they also stepped uphill and looked up, they suddenly realized... It seems that the other party controls the rhythm of the whole battle.

Ahead, Roddy's team had reached the top of the slope and immediately began to turn!

The leader of the wolf knights at the bottom of the long slope noticed that something was wrong, and when he wanted to give an order to the wolf cavalry next to him, he saw that the leading human forty or fifty meters away suddenly straightened his waist and raised a horned bow with an obvious orc style in his hand...

In the next moment when the leading orc didn't react at all, an arrow had already pierced the chest of his strong body with a "poof"!

Because the wolf was rushing forward at this time, it invisibly increased the power of the arrow, and the huge momentum carried his body back, and it was instantly debalanced, and he fell straight down the wolf-

The follow-up wolf knight didn't have time to dodge at all, and stepped on his body with a crackle, and under this kind of superimposed damage, the captain of the originally strongest wolf cavalry died without even saying a word!
