IV The Orc Slayer Chapter 49 Harvesting the Soul II
"Where did the human soldiers come from at this time?"
Donald didn't have to think about it to know that it must be the high-level of the human garrison of the Holy Sword Fortress who was afraid that he would not be able to complete the task, so he still sent out the scout team he had prepared earlier.
Seeing that the scouts were analyzing the traces left by his own extermination of the orcs, Donald didn't care, but continued to move forward.
A few minutes later, Donald, who was leading the summon forward, spotted a large army of orcs about five kilometers ahead.
Looking down from the sky, the numerous orcs were like countless locusts that were encroaching on the human territory.
"There are so many orcs!"
Donald said with a half-sigh and half-a surprise.
If thousands of people can only make people feel a lot, then the team of tens of thousands of people is like an ocean, and you can't see the edge at a glance, and there are not many tens of thousands of orcs. This is the visual disparity, the actual number of orcs is not as many as you see, at most close to 10,000.
Although Donald was confident, he saw through the owl the large army of orcs on the opposite side of the mountains and fields that could not be seen at a glance, but he did not have the idea of shaking his edge.
Although facing enemies hundreds of times his size, Donald did not panic in the slightest.
Speaking from the heart, if you fight head-on with so many orcs, the human side really has no chance of winning at all, and the garrison of the entire fortress plus the private soldiers and civilian adventurers brought by the nobles add up to only a few thousand, and most of them are still improvised teams, and when they encounter a frontal attack from the orcs on the battlefield, they can only choose to flee in the wilderness.
However, with a strong fortress defense belt to rely on, as well as the strength of professional players such as mages, Donald will not worry even if there are more orcs. On the contrary, they will be happy.
In fact, instead of worrying, Donald was a little excited.
Because in his eyes, these orcs are the source of soul power, and with the equipment of the soul ball, as long as the soul fragments within the range are not killed by themselves, and there is no external force to block them, they can absorb the soul power.
"If I can wipe out all these orcs, the soul power I gain will be enough for me to summon two more heroes or create a powerful army of my own......"
So Donald looked at the orcs like a farmer looking at the ripe wheat in his field waiting to be harvested. If an outsider sees Donald and doesn't know the secrets of his Book of Truth, they will wonder if he has any special hobby for orcs!
"Uther, there's a large army of orcs over there, what do you think we should do?"
For these professional questions, it is still necessary to ask the paladins with experience in commanding operations, although Donald has some ideas, but after all, it has not been tested, and he can get rid of it in an instant, but these summoned warriors under his command are consumed here in vain.
"Master, this situation is undoubtedly a head-on battle in vain, I suggest temporarily avoiding its front, waiting for the orc team to divert, or sending troops to provoke from afar, seduce a small group of orcs and then eliminate them, activate guerrilla tactics, and slowly eat away at the opponent's strength!"
Donald's own tactics are also intended to attract a small group of orcs to come, and it is best to accumulate some more combat merits before the orcs reach the fortress. At this time, after listening to Uther's opinion, he was ready to abandon some of the summoned creatures, test the combat power of the orcs, and fight a guerrilla war.
But then, through the owl's perspective, Donald noticed that a group of about a hundred orcs had separated from the large army and were heading in his direction, which made him smile.
This is really an unexpected surprise! It seems that God is also helping him, and these orcs actually took the initiative to run out and die!
"I don't dare to kill tens of thousands of orcs head-on, won't you send a hundred orcs to death when you come?"
With that, Donald summoned a team of ten elven archers again and handed over command to Uther. Uther ordered all his summoned warriors to hide on both sides of the orc's path, ready to ambush this small group of orc vanguards. And Donald himself followed Uther to watch from the hidden position of the ambush.
In a short time, more than 100 orcs in a chaotic formation broke into the ambush range, but Uther did not order his men to attack immediately, but waited until the orcs had just crossed them before attacking. In this way, they will be cut off from the back road, and they will not let one go.
"Attack!"
After hearing the order, the summoned warriors of the elves and orcs rushed out from under the trees, in the grass, and behind the earth and rocks, the arrows of the archers, the spears of the troll hunters, and the lightning spitting of the lightning lizards, as well as the magic arrows of the troll witch doctor's low lethality, and the arrows and spears attacked the stunned orcs like a storm.
The sudden attack completely stunned the orc vanguards, and by the time they came back to their senses and roared to run back against them, less than half of the hundreds of orcs were left, and the audience was filled with the roars and wails of the orcs.
"Roar...... Ah......h
The attacks of the summoned warriors are chilling to watch, not only are they very skillfully coordinated, but the discipline and accuracy of the attacks are incomparable to the chaotic orcs.
Half of the orcs fell under the indiscriminate arrows and spears, and the two huntress had a lower range of moon blade ejection attacks than the first two, and their role was mainly to mend their knives, and they posed a deadly threat to the orcs who were only wounded but not dead.
The attacks of the lightning lizards and the troll witch doctor were not strong, and could only play the role of paralysis and containment, but it was such an effect that the remnants of the orcs who roared over were already beaten before they could get close to the summoned creatures twenty steps, and only a few survived, and they were quickly shot by the summoned creatures one by one.
In order to preserve his mana and cope with the ensuing battle between the two armies, Donald himself did not participate in the attack, but concentrated on using equipment to harvest the soul fragments of the dead orcs.
However, this time there were a large number of orcs, and the summoned creatures were killed too quickly, and two or three of the hundreds of orc's soul fragments could not be collected in time, and after maintaining it for a period of time, they quickly turned into black light and flew away in the direction of the orc camp behind.
The distance was so close, Donald didn't have time to think, knowing that the orcs in front of him would soon find out about this battle, so before the large army arrived, he immediately ordered his subordinates to collect the spoils of war and collect them all into the spatial imprint, and then immediately turned around and chose the return journey to the east.
