Chapter 331: Orcs
"I thought there would be many, but I didn't expect that to be all. It doesn't look like enough to hit. At this time, Jingrui had already set up his horse and came to the front of the battle.
Opposite it, stood a group of burly orcs. They were all too tall and had their limbs in their first trim, especially since their waists were thicker than those of the trees. What's even more terrifying is that almost every orc doesn't have any fat on their bodies, and their bodies are completely composed of skeletons and muscles.
However, at this time, Zhao Yulong also discovered his previous misunderstanding of these orcs, not all of them were green-skinned, and many of them had earthy yellow skin. This is very similar to the skin of most people in the East, which is probably the reason why there is a gap between the East and the West!
Orcs are different from orcs in that they have a strong sense of territory. Therefore, they always attack the surrounding countries without hesitation, so the people of these countries naturally hate them. As time went on, this hatred deepened until it developed to the point of ostracizing everything that had to do with them.
Their naturally yellow skin and green skin are also rejected by them, but fortunately, green skin is unique to these orcs. It's just that yellow skin is a characteristic of people in the East and West, which makes the two parties not very happy. In addition, the gods they believed in were different, so there was only war and no cooperation between the two sides.
Right now, these orcs were standing only a hundred paces away from Jingrui, but they were not in a hurry to attack. Because their enemies are always in a hurry than they are, they are willing to wait here. After all, self-hunting prey is much more interesting than prey that is caught with your hands.
So, they just stood there and waited, waiting for Jingrui to attack. But Jing Rui was not in a hurry, because Zhao Yulong had not given the order yet, so he had to wait.
"Don't take the enemy lightly, these orcs are very capable of fighting, you look at their arms, they are bigger than my waist. Zhao Yulong jokingly pointed to the smaller one of the orcs opposite.
"So what, it's not the same fate of being killed, no matter how big the guy is, he doesn't have any real skills, and it's still useless. Anyway, how long will we have to wait, I can't wait. ”
"Come on, the soldiers are already arriving. This is the first time we have sent an entire army, and if it weren't for the rarity of such a war, I really wouldn't want to take all the soldiers into battle. As he spoke, Zhao Yulong looked at the back.
There, Meng Liang was rushing towards here with all the soldiers, and now the march of the more than 15,000 people was a little slow, but fortunately, they were still almost there.
"Our army has arrived, it looks like the enemy army has also arrived, that silver-haired boy is mine, no one should rob me. As he spoke, Jing Rui pointed to the silver-haired boy who was riding a white lion.
That's almost all the troops of the Bairo Empire, and their allies are only a few thousand people.
"I remember before I left, they had tens of thousands. I didn't expect to die so much now, it's really unpleasant! Especially those orcs, there are only a few hundred people, it's not enough to kill, why don't they call more people?"
"Don't underestimate these hundreds, they're more threatening than those thousands. After all, those are orcs, do you know the laws of this world?"
"What rule?" was waiting for boredom, seeing that the other party didn't plan to go to war for a long time, so now Jing Rui chatted with Zhao Yulong.
"The stronger the race, the weaker the ability to reproduce, I remember telling you before. ”
"Yes, you said that. But I don't understand what you mean, do you mean that because these orcs are weak in reproduction, there are so few of them?"
"Yes, their reproductive ability is really weak, so you should also understand the weight of these people!"
"Yes, then I want to see what the weight of knowledge is, and now there are all of them. The cavalry regiment listened to the order, follow me!", Jing Rui raised his horsewhip and rushed towards the enemy camp.
"Sure enough, it's still so urgent! Forget it, the whole army obeys the order! Infantry, surround and forward in a triangular encirclement formation, remember that each squad should not get too close, and leave a route for the cavalry to evacuate. The mages chanted collectively, but don't rush to cast spells, wait for my orders. Archers, give me arrows now to cover the cavalry regiment. As for the few priests in our army, I won't say what to do, but focus on the cavalry regiment, understand?"
"Understood!" said almost everyone at the same time, for they had felt a sense of power before that. It was an irresistible force, but he was not aggressive, and almost all of the soldiers were intact.
These veterans naturally knew that this power was the order given to them by the Lord, and the recruits were a little confused. But as a soldier, they all have a habit. Once on the battlefield, you can forget anything but kill the enemy, so at the moment, you don't care about this force and devote yourself to the war.
The orcs on the opposite side had long been unable to hold back, but now that they saw Jing Rui and them rushing towards here, they were also excited, and they rushed here with a language that Zhao Yulong didn't understand at all.
"What kind of language is this, do you know Meng Liang?"
"I don't know, I think it should be barbarian! Anyway, we don't have these pronunciations in the orc language, but if you want to know, Brother Long, I think we can catch someone and ask. ”
"No, we won't have much of a chance to fight them in the future. In short, Jingrui's cavalry regiment has already fought with them, shouldn't your infantry regiment also ......"
"Understood!" As soon as the words fell, Meng Liang had already run a certain distance. For him, walking seemed to be a little faster than riding a horse.
"Brother Long, both of them are on the line, so what about me? Do you want me to assassinate their commander?" Seeing that Jing Rui's side was already fighting with the orcs, Hu Yun inevitably felt a little itchy in his heart.
"No, you just stay here, that boy is Jingrui's target. If you rob him, he'll make you a meat skewer. So we're still waiting here, and the enemy will definitely be indispensable when the time comes. ”
"Hmm!"
At this time, on the battlefield, Jingrui's cavalry regiment was mingling with the orcs. Sure enough, some of them are really difficult to grasp without experiencing them personally, and Prospect Rui felt that these orcs were not difficult to deal with, and now he realized that he was wrong.
The strength of these orcs was even greater than expected, not only the other soldiers, but even his own horses were directly lifted by these orcs. Fortunately, these cavalrymen have received a lot of training, and now although the horses have overturned, there is nothing wrong with the people.
It's just that now this means that these cavalrymen have to face these orcs directly. This is not a good thing, although it is nothing for the soldiers who are originally from the East, and the absence of horses will only affect the movement.
But at least half of this cavalry regiment were natives from the West, and their weapon, unlike the East, was a cavalry lance. This was a weapon that didn't have much lethality, and it was only because of the impact of the horses that they were able to have such strength.
But now that he has left the horses, he is a little worried about these orcs who are twice his height. Although they threw their spears and swords, it was difficult for them to compete with the orcs, who were known for their strength.
And these cavalrymen in the east are also facing such worries. Although spears and knives can still be used under horses. It's just that the strength of the Eastern human race is generally lower than that of the Westerners, and the strength of the orcs is several times that of the Westerners, and such a difference in strength is estimated to be made up only by relying on the flexibility of the body.
However, fortunately, the East pays attention to technical things such as combat skills, so now although there is a great disparity in strength. But at least the combat skills and realm can make up for a lot, and it can be regarded as some life-saving abilities!
As the commander of the cavalry regiment, Jing Rui, now he is under a lot of pressure. Because he knew that horseless cavalry was no match for these orcs at all. But now they could not retreat, because the cavalry was the vanguard of the whole team, and if the infantry had not yet arrived, the cavalry would retreat, which would have undermined the morale of the team.
But if they don't retreat, the strength of these orcs is too terrifying. At least now Jing Rui can feel that their huge battle axe is definitely not made so big for the sake of good looks.
In just an instant, the huge battle axe slashed towards a cavalryman. Before he could dodge, he had already been split in half by the company's armor. Because the soldier was a little close to Jingrui, the blood splashed his face.
This was not a good start, and the dead had already begun to die in less than a quarter of an hour after the battle. And these people are all on their own side, and none of the enemy soldiers died, and this is the first time Jing Rui has encountered such a battle.
But anyway, he happened, and it can't be changed. Therefore, all Jing Rui can do now is to command carefully, so that there will be fewer deaths in the cavalry regiment before Meng Liang's infantry arrives.
It's just that now that it's at war, it's obviously not easy to command. After all, their minds were all on dealing with the giant axe that was cut down towards them, and where did they care about Jingrui's orders.
At this time, Jing Rui was solving the orc in front of him, when he saw a soldier fighting with an orc. This soldier Jing Rui knew, it was a centurion, and he remembered that when Zhao Yulong and they just led the troops, he was still in the team but still a captain.
Now that those two years have passed, time and war have changed the team. By now, excluding the soldiers who had left and who had already died on the battlefield, there were not many of the original 3,000 left.
And this centurion was the most loyal of the three thousand, and his strength was the most powerful among the three thousand. Since he broke through the Star Picking Realm through Zhao Yulong's elixir, he is still cultivating, and now he has reached the second level of the Star Picking Realm in the past two years, and he can be regarded as a rare powerhouse in this team.
But even such a strong man is a little powerless in the face of orcs. After all, the strength was too far away before, and although he was able to dodge the orc's attack very quickly every time, he couldn't break through the orc's defense.
At this point, he had already found an opportunity to stab the orc in the leg. If nothing else, the orc should be able to get a big wound on his leg.
But the orc roared when his gun was about to approach. This roar is not simple, if it is placed in the East, someone will definitely regard him as a sonic combat skill.
But in this West, they are not combat skills. It's just the ordinary roar of these orcs, but even if it's just an ordinary roar, it's not easy to come out of the mouths of these orcs.
Now it was just a simple roar, and the soldier was shocked by the sound and flew out, although it didn't fly far, but it made the soldier fall!
Yes, it is absolutely not allowed to fall on the battlefield, because once such a situation occurs, it means death. The enemy will never be merciful enough to let you stand up, unless he doesn't want to live.
Therefore, the orc did not hesitate, and a giant hammer could not stay in the air for a moment, so it smashed directly towards him. It's a good distance, because it's just enough distance to hit him, neither a little more out nor a little less, as if it was budgeted for him.
As long as this giant hammer as long as the others was smashed down, there was absolutely no chance that the soldier would survive. After all, not many people can match the strength of the orcs, so looking at the giant hammer that has been smashed towards him, the soldier closed his eyes peacefully and waited for death to come.
This is the consciousness that almost all soldiers have, and for every soldier, from the first day of their military career, it already means that their life and death are already sealed. Yes, there is no one in this world who is immortal, except God.
And in this age, when there is no god in the world, everyone will die. But these soldiers are more conscious, they are all people who do not want to die in peace. Because they are accustomed to weapons, they have long regarded the battlefield as their home, and it is naturally their glory to be able to die on the battlefield.
Therefore, now that he knew that he was going to die, there was no panic on the soldier's face. It's just a rare calmness, like doing something that is easy for him to do, he doesn't think about anything, and quietly waits for that moment to come.
It should have been a short time, as the orc's hammer wasn't slow to wield. But the period in between was very enjoyable, because they found that the noise of the surrounding battlefield was long away, and the only thing left was the peace in their hearts, like a pool of stagnant water with no foreign objects entering, and it could not make many waves.
But after a long time, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, because he remembered that the hammer was about to fall before he closed his eyes. And now I don't know how long it has been, and the giant hammer has not fallen for a long time.
He was a little anxious, because he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. He just felt as if there were some people around, and finally he couldn't help it and opened his eyes.
Yes, there is indeed a person in front of me, a person who is too familiar to be familiar anymore. It was almost the most admired man in his life, and now he was facing away from the soldier, his spear against the orc's half-width sledgehammer.
"What are you still waiting here for, don't you run, do you want to drag me down?" Although he has taken the orc's giant hammer now, Jingrui doesn't necessarily feel very comfortable. Because the strength of this orc is so great, even Jingrui can't guarantee how long he can last.
"Okay, General. With that, the soldier got up and ran towards the outside of the giant hammer, and when he saw him leave, Jing Rui's heart was relieved.
It's just that now this crisis has not been resolved, although Jingrui has taken the hammer. But apparently, this is not all the strength of this orc. At least for now, the orc was still pushing his strength into his hands.
At this time, Jingrui's feet had already sunk into the soil for an inch or two, although it was not deep. But the soil here is very hard, and you can still step on it.
And this is not the biggest limit, Jing Rui can feel that his feet are still sinking into the dirt, which means that this guy is still exerting force.
But Jingrui doesn't have much strength anymore, although the spiritual power in his body is abundant. But the strength that comes from this body itself is declining rapidly, and Jing Rui knows that if he doesn't get out of here quickly, he will definitely not be able to hold on.
However, at this most critical moment, Jingrui's troubles are still increasing. Maybe it's the first time I've seen a Terran who can catch their attack! These orcs all gathered around and looked at Jing Rui.
One of them saw that Jing Rui was still able to hold on, so he slashed his giant axe horizontally towards Jing Rui, who was resisting the giant hammer.
This is indeed a good time, after all, Jingrui's entire energy is focused on resisting the giant hammer, and this giant axe coming sideways naturally has no way to resist. Therefore, as long as the giant axe passes, Jingrui will definitely be split in half by the giant axe from the waist.
But these orcs underestimated Jing Rui, just as the giant axe was about to approach. Jingrui didn't resist hard. Instead, he just lay on the ground, waiting for the giant hammer to come down.
Almost at the same time, the giant axe and the giant hammer were about to approach Jingrui, but they stopped. Of course, it's not that their master wants them to stop, but now they have to stop.
Because of the intervention of the giant axe, the giant hammer fell just on the giant axe. And this giant axe has the thickness of a person, so Jing Rui just grabbed the giant hammer in this gap.
As for this giant axe, it should have been able to cut Jing Rui. But he was pressed by the giant hammer that was pressed down, and he couldn't move at all, so naturally he couldn't get to Jingrui.
At this time, Jing Rui saw that he was out of danger and did not have time to hesitate, so he hurriedly rolled out of this gap. Then, without any reaction from these orcs, they stood up.
When they saw Jing Rui who was still standing in front of them, these orcs suddenly understood that they had missed the hit just now, but now they were furious, but their roar was of little use to Jing Rui.
