Not to be surprised, Ferdinand waved his hand to his side, and immediately two junior officers left, and in a moment he led two squads of ten swordsmen of the Holy Sword Legion to return, and within a cup of tea, all the orc heads were counted, and sure enough, there were two hundred and three ordinary orc warriors and fifty elite orc warriors.
Although the orc race looks very similar to humans with yellow and green skin and hideous claws, there is still a difference between the powerful orc elite and ordinary orcs in appearance and dress, and human veterans who are familiar with this can easily distinguish them.
As for that orc shaman, ordinary civilians can know it by just looking at his physique and dress, not to mention these Holy Sword Legions and others who have been dealing with orcs on the border for many years.
The necessary respect will be given to the strong, whether human or of any other race. After the verification, everyone looked at Donald with completely different eyes.
"Yes, Mage Merlina killed a total of 254 orcs, including fifty giant axemen and a shaman, this merit has been recorded by the general, and it will be reported to the military headquarters and His Majesty the King when the battle is over, now let's go to the command post and talk about the situation of this mission!"
Compared to the spectacle of hundreds of orc heads piled on top of each other, Donald's miraculous means of storing loot were less conspicuous. After all, the temporary storage spell is only unheard of for ordinary small nobles, but it is not unheard of for big nobles and princes, and ordinary mages who have reached the bronze rank and even black iron peak mages can barely cast it. It's the hard-to-find space props, which are just rare for these big people at the top of the human race, and they haven't reached the level that is hard to find in the world. Although the alchemy inheritance in this world is in decline, there are still high-level alchemists who can make some simple spatial equipment.
Hearing the words of the young general, Donald knew that he had achieved this battle feat, so he thanked him, and then entered the command post with everyone, and in front of everyone, he described the situation seen through the owl, and his own battle was also briefly said,
The young general frowned at Donald's beginning, and when he finished speaking, he found that most of the people present had very ugly faces.
"Three totemic banners, which means that there are three orc tribes coming back this time, and there are tens of thousands of enemies. There is also a tall giant wooden totem on the frame of the leader figure, and it is obvious that at least one elder-level shaman above the bronze rank is following the team, otherwise the beast god totem would not be dispatched! I wonder what you think about this?"
After the young general finished speaking, he first looked at the nobles present, waiting for someone to answer.
However, the orcs are fierce, and those noble children who come to mix the military merits do not say a word, for fear that the supreme commander will capture them as vanguards, and they are basically cannon fodder in the face of the orc army with their little strength.
Then the young general turned his gaze to his officers, generals.
I saw a middle-aged black-faced officer at the top of the battle and said solemnly: "Please give the general an order, the orcs are coming, and we and other Terran warriors are only fighting!"
After the middle-aged officer finished speaking, all the officers asked for battle with high momentum.
"That's right, kill them and don't leave a piece of armor, since these beast mongrels are here, they should all stay and make fertilizer!"
The comparison between the two immediately reflects the difference between these legion officials and the children of the nobility. One is brave and resolute, iron-blooded and good at fighting, and the other is easy to work hard and dare not easily wade into danger. Although most of the reason is because of their different backgrounds, the Holy Sword Legion has such loyal and powerful warriors, which makes Donald nod secretly.
Satisfied with the performance of his generals, the young general and Prince Durui glanced at each other, then turned to Donald and said:
"This mission Mage Merlina has completed very well, I will record the merits along with the previous battle exploits, it is estimated that tomorrow the orcs will arrive in front of the elements, I hope that others will be able to kill the enemy as bravely as Mage Merlinna!"
"Thank you, General! Donald will continue to work hard to destroy more orcs!"
Donald was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked the other party with a smile.
Thanks to the blessing of the viscount's eldest son, Bolton, not only completed the exploration mission this time, but also won the highest battle merit at once, at least after the war is over, a knight's territory of the second rank can be guaranteed!
Seeing that the young general, who was the supreme commander, had promised Donald his exploits, the other nobles and professionals present were red-eyed at that time, and they wanted to go to the battlefield and kill him hundreds or thousands of orcs immediately!
However, several nobles questioned Donald's exploits, hoping that the Holy Sword Legion could find out if the orcs were actually killed by Donald. Among these people, of course, was headed by Bolton of the Macbeth family.
It's a pity that the young general of the Ansel family was unmoved, and without any concealment, he recorded the achievements of Donald in the war book!
"No matter what method you use to kill orcs, as long as you don't pretend to claim other people's combat exploits, then you will make a number, if you are not satisfied with this distribution method, then do not bring any of your subordinates to the battlefield to kill the enemy in person, I will definitely write down your merits!"
As soon as these words came out, the nobles of Macbeth's family were dumb and silent, but few of their noble young masters were strong enough to defeat the orcs, if they really should distribute their military merits like that, they themselves did not have much force, and the nobles who led private soldiers to participate in the war would not have to share their merits with their subordinates, and they would not get any benefits?
The other nobles couldn't help but feel even more disgusted with them when they saw that the proposal of Bolton and the others not only set themselves on fire, but also affected their own interests.
This supreme commander is not an ordinary nobleman, and a word has blocked the mouths of all the nobles, although these nobles are unwilling in their hearts, but none of them have dared to offend the majesty of the Ansel family, and the provocateurs who once appeared now do not know that the bones buried there are rotten.
On the orc side, the shaman who sent the team to lead the team and the fifty most elite warriors were gone without the slightest news. Those in the know were a little uneasy, and the old shaman himself came to express his concern, which made the orc leader Prince Kanzi even more upset.
However, in his heart, he still thinks that this trip to occupy the land of the human kingdom is related to his future status and survival, and it is impossible to give up halfway, not to mention that these are just human tricks, if humans can really confront the great orcs head-on, then they will not have violated the orc territory several times for so many years.
This simple-minded orc prince never thought about why the humans who occupied the richest part of the entire continent with the barrenness of the Northwest Wasteland would invade the orc territory?
Therefore, Prince Kanzi ordered the whole army to be drawn out, no longer sending vanguards, and marching directly towards the human border.
Although the old orc shaman felt that there must be other circumstances in this, he considered that as long as the army of 10,000 people was gathered, the strength of a fortress on the human border should not be able to resist the combined forces of the three tribes, so he waited and watched the situation and did not object.
As the two most powerful leaders in this orc team, they have already spoken, and even if the other orcs have any different opinions, they can't speak.
In this way, in the evening of the same day, the orc army had arrived at the foot of the Holy Sword Fortress.
Because the soldiers were very tired from the continuous journey, and because of the weather, the orc high-level did not rush to make any moves, but ordered to camp and eat, and prepare to rest for the night, and then kill the enemy army and capture the human fortress.
Out of contempt for human combat power, the orcs, who were already loosely disciplined, set up camp in a mess to make fires and cook, and then went into the camp tents one by one and slept, and those who couldn't grab a place slept on the ground in the field, without even a patrol and warning sentry.
The human side had the intention of taking advantage of the situation to attack at night, but considering the difference in combat strength between the two sides, the losses were too great, so they decided to rely on the tall and sturdy fortress defense to kill the enemy and not give up their own advantages.
Donald felt a little sorry for this, because with his summoning weapon, he could pick a small half of the orc camp alone, and it would be a pity to let go of such a good opportunity for a night attack.
But as just one of the many conscripts who participated in the war, he had no say in the military, and how the human side responded still depended on the meaning of the top brass of the Holy Sword Legion.
