Chapter 080: Encirclement
Edward made his way through the damp jungle of the Dark Swamp, a drizzle that soaked his bloodied linen coat and stained the muddy ground red. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The smell of blood attracts a large number of beasts, including giant spiders, giant crocodiles with skin and swamp color, leopards that can sneak, and more.
But these ferocious beasts could not stop Edward's footsteps, although he had no weapon in his hand at this time, his fists and strong legs and feet were his weapons, and all the beasts that stood in his way were hit hard and became an obstacle to the orcs who howled behind him to hunt him down.
Orgrim had never encountered such a difficult human being, and if the average human was hit in the chest by his hammer of destruction, he would not be able to survive or be seriously injured, and it was impossible for him to be able to run around the dense forest like Edward, and even have a tendency to get out of the range of their pursuit.
Orgrim may seem rude, but he's a very intelligent orc. He and Durotan were able to become close friends as different clans, and their similar personalities played a big role. It was clear that Edward was trying to lure them away from the mountain pass camp so that the Draenei could escape the orcs, as Orgrim had already seen.
The reason why he knew that the other party wanted to lure him away and deliberately fell for it was not only because he admired this wise and brave human like Durotan, but also because he opposed Guldan's approach. He didn't want Gul'dan to capture these Draenei again.
In this muddy swamp, the wolf is not a very good mount, and although they are very fast, their fleshy claws make it difficult for them to move through the swamp. Several wolf cavalry had already fallen into the swamp, screaming loudly and falling into it, it was a very unfriendly swamp.
Coupled with the various beasts that sprang out from all around from time to time, their pursuit speed was greatly reduced.
By the time the sky was fully light, Orgrim's pursuing force had finally lost Edward's figure.
"What now? "A wolf cavalry is a little reluctant to chase.
"This human must be caught, or we won't be able to give an account to the Great Chief. Ogrim pondered for a moment and said, "Divide every fifteen of you into a squad and surround this swamp for me!"
"You have to remember that even a small team can't attack a human alone. Even if the opponent is injured and has no weapons, the number of fifteen people is unlikely to be his opponent, but it will allow him to break through. The correct thing to do is to immediately signal for reinforcements. ”
The wolf cavalry of the pursuing force immediately took the order, spread out in an encirclement posture, and advanced to the northeast of the dark swamp, trying to block Edward.
"Orgrim, the pass camp is under attack from the fleeing Delanees, who have broken through our blockade and headed west. A wolf cavalry rushed over and reported the situation.
"Leave those draenei alone, as long as we capture this human, the Great Chief will not punish us. ”
Hearing Orgrim say this, the orcs breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's that!"
At this moment, a chirping of a bird and a dead beast came from the sky. Orgrim looked through the forest and spotted a giant winged hippony-bodied monster skimming through the sky.
From the vest and wings that this monster is equipped with, it is clear that it is not a wild monster.
"That's the monster that appeared in Shining Gold! Our spies have seen it in Shining Gold, and it seems to be the mount of the human!" exclaimed an orc wolf cavalryman.
"Bring the biggest bow and arrow, all the wolf cavalry, take out your bows and arrows, shoot them down for me! Ogrim's heart sank and he commanded loudly.
A wolf cavalryman handed Orgrim a large bow and arrow.
As warriors of the orc clan, heavy swords and axes are their most important weapons, but bows and arrows are also essential, and Orgrim's archery skills are equally excellent. I saw that he immediately pulled the giant bow into a full moon, and his sharp eyes stared at the monster flying at low altitude, as if looking for something.
Alan had been hovering high above the mountain pass camp, and the soul bond between it and Edward made it feel like its master was nearby. As it anxiously searched for its master, countless arrows shot from the dense forest below.
Alan was startled, tried to hold back his anger, and began to rise, now his first task was to find Edward.
However, an arrow more powerful than all the arrows suddenly shot out of the dense forest and shot at Alan impartially, so fast that Alan had no time to dodge.
Alan, who was keenly aware of danger, deflected slightly, and the arrow grazed its vital point, slamming through its wing armor and piercing its left wing.
The pain was so severe that Alan couldn't keep flying, and he fell straight to the northeast.
"You guys, come with me to find the place where the monster fell!
Satisfied, Orgrim handed the greatbow to his men and commanded loudly.
............
A day later, when Orgrim was tired and hungry to find the spot where the monster had fallen, his eyelids fluttered violently.
There were huge feathers and blood scattered here, but there was no sign of the monster at all.
To Orgrim's anger, the monster had apparently been rescued by Edward, but there was not the slightest trace of it!
A pile of feathers and blood remained in the swamp, as if to mock his incompetence.
Orgrim ordered all the wolf cavalry to scatter in search of traces, but found nothing, as if no one had ever been here, let alone footprints, and even the weeds in the dense forest seemed to have been untouched.
The orc warrior scanned the deep forest viciously, and finally sighed helplessly. If you want to find a human in this dangerous dense forest, even if it is twice the number of orcs, it is unlikely to be found, but it will be defeated by the opponents who are proficient in jungle warfare.
Now the only way they can do it is to besiege this human in the northeastern part of the Dark Swamp and force them to come out on their own when they run out of ammunition.
"Orgrim, Grand Chief summoned!" a wolf-orc cavalry hurriedly reported.
"Damn, I'm almost done, and if we absorb that human into our tribe, or imprison him, it will be of great help to this war. Orgrim was a little unwilling, but he could only accept the order to return.
"Listen to me, everyone must cheer up and keep this area under siege at all times, and I will be here with reinforcements in the near future!" Orgrim ordered loudly, and though he was tired, he returned the way he came.
............
In a cave in the northern part of the Dark Swamp, a large grizzly bear slept well and slowly walked out of his home. As soon as he came out of the cave, his nose sniffed, as if he smelled a slight smell of prey.
The puzzled grizzly bear sniffed around the cave for a long time before finally slowly walking into the dense forest.
Shortly after the grizzly bear left, a bush of grass next to its cave suddenly moved, and Edward's figure appeared.
His face was pale, but he was in good spirits.
If Orgrim had seen the grass-covered cave behind Edward, he would have reprimanded his men severely. Because the orcs searched here, they only saw the sleeping grizzly bear in the cave, but they didn't carefully search the area around the cave......
Edward clutched his chest and picked some common herbs and fruits in the nearby jungle before returning to the cave and carefully covering the entrance.
In the small cave, Alan was lying on the ground in a state of exhaustion, his wings bandaged by Edward.
Seeing Edward return, Alan chirped softly and rested his head on Edward's lap with great enjoyment.
Orgrim's blow actually hurt Edward very much, and the powerful force of the opponent almost broke four of his ribs, one of which was inserted near the heart.
Edward's adaptability and recovery are certainly strong, but such an injury is not enough for him to face a threat.
After two days of recuperation, Edward's torn rib was repairing itself, and the sharp pain of breaking through the flesh and blood in the rib when the rib was put back was the reason for Edward's paleness. To Edward's reassurance, his ability to adapt to the humid environment began to grow as his hands and feet began to grow claws and webs, allowing him to move easily through the muddy swamp.
Alan's wing injuries are also gradually improving under Edward's careful care, and it is believed that it will not be long before Alan's ability to carry him away from this orc-surrounded area again.
