Chapter 312: Leaving the team
Because of Anne and her own body, Liu Xin's pace began to slow down before she ran far, but the young men on guard did not have any intention of slowing down, perhaps in their eyes, this escape was also a test. Those who can grit their teeth and persevere, then they can live under their protection, and those who can't persist can only find their own way after falling behind.
Looking at the many refugees who had already distanced themselves from him, Liu Xin's heart turned sharply. If this continues, he and Anne will definitely be left behind, and looking at the appearance of those guards, it shows that they will not stop waiting for themselves. If you follow it and wait until you are really exhausted, if you encounter an orc, you will lose even the last chance of it.
Thinking of this, Liu Xin gritted his teeth and quickened his pace, rushing to the side of the last guard dwarf.
"Big brother, can you give me a dagger?" Liu Xin opened his mouth and asked breathlessly, this small-distance sprint has made Liu Xin's body a little tired after more than a month of mining training.
"What are you going to do, little one?" The dwarf heard that Liu Xin needed a weapon, and asked with some confusion.
"I, I'm with my sister, I can't keep up at all, and in order to be able to have a little self-preservation, I need a weapon and two flints." Liu Xin gasped violently, and his feet were a little slower.
The dwarf guard frowned, looked at Liu Xin, then at Anne on his back, and continued to ask, "Are you sure?" Now we are at least 2 kilometers away from the border with Dan Morro, and it is uncertain what problems we will encounter along the way. ”
"Yes, sure, let alone two kilometers, even 500 meters I may not be able to hold on, so I need a weapon, and flint is a very important thing, and I also need two." Liu Xin said firmly, he had already decided to leave the army completely with Anne.
There are advantages and disadvantages to being with a large army, and the advantage is that it is protected and relatively safe. The disadvantage is that there are too many people, the target is too big, and a small group of orcs may not dare to go up, but if they encounter a battle, then they must be endless, and they are also a large wave of orcs, if they can control it, Liu Xin doesn't want to put his life in the hands of others.
The dwarf guard who was left behind glanced at Liu Xin deeply, wanting to keep his face in his heart forever. At Liu Xin's age, he can still rationally analyze his own situation at this time, and he is not prepared for some possible things, this time as long as Liu Xin does not die, he will definitely be a figure who can be alone in the future, and it is worth remembering by the guards.
"Live well!" The dwarven guard handed Liu Xin a sharp dagger and two slender flints the size of fingers, then turned around and quickly caught up with the troops in front, while Liu Xin stopped and watched the large group of refugees gradually disappear into the snow in the distance.
"Annie, it's just the two of us now." Liu Xin saw that Anne was staring at him with big watery eyes, and said with a smile.
"Brother, hungry" Anne saw Liu Xin turn her head to look at herself, with a bitter face, looking like she was about to cry.
"Alright, alright, Annie, don't cry, eat slowly." When Liu Xin saw Anne like this, he couldn't bear to say anything serious, but handed Anne the small half of the bread that Aunt Cara had left for him.
Perhaps knowing the death of Old Mike, Anne's mind has matured a lot, and she knows that crying will bring a lot of trouble, and when the tears come to her eyes, she will try her best to hold back, even if she can't help it, she will only cry silently, and she will not cry out loud. Since entering Danmoro, Anne rarely cries, otherwise under normal circumstances, children at Anne's age should often cry, otherwise Liu Xin is really not sure that he can escape from Danmoro smoothly, in case Anne cries when hiding from the orcs, it will be a complete tragedy.
"I can't stay here anymore, I don't know when I'll meet the orcs again, and I can't walk on the snow anymore, and the footprints left behind are directly exposed, but there are already too many footprints here, so I can use them." After Liu Xin comforted Anne, he began to look around, and when his strength did not reach the point where anything could be solved by force, some necessary preparations were still needed. At this time, in the practice space, a lot of the knowledge of hiding one's own information learned when learning to hide the momentum with the old hunter will come into use.
"Anne, you wait here, brother will be back soon!" Liu Xin said a word to Anne and then ran directly into the distance. I started walking to the side along the already obvious road where everyone was running, and when I felt like I was about the same, I fell to the ground, leaving a big mark and then got up and continued walking. Eventually, an arc-like mark spread to the nearby woods and then looped back to the main road, with a large mark on it, as if someone had fallen and got up and staggered on. After finally stepping on a large row of footprints, Liu Xin returned to Anne's side again, picked up his back, and followed his previous footprints to the woods.
"Anne, we're leaving, and if you're cold or hungry, tell your brother." After Liu Xin turned his head to Anne on his back and said a word, he stepped into the woods.
In the woods, because of the presence of tree roots and weeds, there is less snow on the ground, Liu Xin also chose some exposed dirt and rocks to step on, so he walked out carefully for nearly 100 meters, and Liu Xin did not leave obvious traces behind him. However, there are still some marks, which is not something that Liu Xin can control, now his body is really bad, not to mention that he is still carrying Annie on his back, it is already Liu Xin's limit to be able to do it like this, and now he can only expect that the orcs who are chasing him are some nervous beings.
Seeing that the distance was almost enough, Liu Xin began to throw aside these restrictions and scurry among the trees, disappearing without a trace after a while
"Roar, Captain, there are a lot of footprints here!" A group of idle orcs were wandering around in Danmorrow, and in the distance they saw a dense footprint in the snow. This is exactly where Liu Xin and his group of refugees passed.
"Huh?" The orc, known as the captain, also walked over, bent down to take a closer look, and with a single glance, the orc noticed the problem.
"Such small footprints, not ours, they must be those dwarven children, or should I say dwarfs. The little ones, the big discoveries, there is a group of dwarves who have escaped, and there are many children. "The more the orc captain looks, the happier he becomes, the corners of his mouth are almost cracked at the base of his ears, being sent out is too boring for these murderous and tyrannical orcs, even if they go to besiege Ironforge Fort, they can still meet dwarves or dwarves fleeing from time to time. After being sent out, they had to search in the cold snow, and they couldn't encounter any other creatures except for the snow wolves and crampons who were running around, and of course they would be excited to see the traces of dwarves.
"The little ones, there are a lot of people on the other side, call people!!" The orc captain looked at the marks under his feet and happily beckoned to his men.
And the orc under his command did not pause, took out a small rocket the size of a palm, and directly ignited the lead on it.
"Chirse!!" As the lead continued to burn, a large number of sparks came out of the tail of the small rocket, pushing the rocket high into the sky, exploding in the sky, and blooming dazzling sparks.
After a while, the unique roars of the orcs rang out all around, and the orc squads arrived in twos and threes. Each squad is basically about 7 people, most of them are warriors, only a few are ranged attack classes, and there is no healing shaman. Since the orcs drank the blood of the Abyss Lord Manolos, they have abandoned their belief in shamans, and since then, the orcs have lost the ability to recover quickly on the battlefield and can only rely on follow-up medicine for healing, so it is difficult to find a healing profession in the orc army.
Although the orcs no longer have a healing profession, their innate strength far beyond humans, coupled with the blood-losing rage brought by Manolos' blood, allows them to fight against humans with diverse professions, and even defeat humans and dwarves by far outnumbering humans.
"Brothers, do you see these footprints? I don't need to say anything about it, everyone, rush!! The orc captains who gave the signal, seeing that the number of people was almost there, directly pointed to the series of footprints, and rushed out along the footprints with a loud roar.
And what about Liu Xin and Annie? They were now heading northwest of Dan Morro, and it had been almost two hours since they had left the many refugees. They didn't follow the refugees to the north directly, not to mention the orcs behind them, even the huge mountain range that blocked the dan moro and the wetland was not something Liu Xin and Anne could walk through. And although the northeast of Danmoro is a wetland, it is one of the gateways to leave Danmoro after all, and the orcs will definitely hold on to it, and if they want to leave from there, Fei'er will put out the fire. The only chance is the sea in the northwest, and according to his own speculation, this should be the time when Sir Salou should go south with many human reinforcements, and maybe he can meet the human army coming from the sea, this is the only chance.
"Grunt~" Liu Xin's stomach finally protested dissatisfiedly, and there was a low roar. When he left the Iron Forge, Liu Xin's stomach was already a little hungry, and then he galloped for a while, and walked so far that Liu Xin's chest was already hungry and pressed against his back.
Looking at the barren snow except for the trees, there is also the orc behind him who doesn't know when to catch up. Liu Xin was a little helpless, so he could only dig out some relatively small tree roots and chew them in his mouth, trying to rely on this chewing sensation to alleviate the hunger in his stomach.
"Huh? What's going on here? How could there be a trace next to it? Can't those dwarves run anymore? The pursuing orcs finally saw the misleading information left by Liu Xin at this time, and continued to run towards the front after a happy moment.
And among them, there was an orc who felt the difference, although this mark could easily see what was happening, and it should even be said that it was very conspicuous that the people who came behind thought that someone had fallen here. But because of this conspicuousness, the orcs saw a little difference, and the more they looked at it, the more it seemed to be deliberately misleading the people behind.
Some of the unconvinced orcs kept watching, slowly walked to the edge of the nearby woods, and carefully searched the ground.
"Hazan? What are you doing? Let's go! The other members of the orc squad asked with some confusion when they saw their teammates watching from the side.
"Someone has escaped, but only one!" The orc who was observing finally saw the inconspicuous footprints left by Liu Xin at this time, and immediately made his own judgment.
"One? Then don't go, let him run, the big army is the best toy. The team member said again, turning around with some excitement and continuing to follow the large group away, and in the end, only this one orc remained in place.
"Hehe, this is a smart toy, what's so fun about those idiot toys you chase, if you want to play, you have to play with such a smart toy." The orc known as Hazan smiled, and instead of continuing to move forward with the large army, he walked step by step towards the traces left by Liu Xin in the woods. (To be continued.) )
