Accompanied by a rustling sound, the sound of falling stones was heard from time to time.

Link and Lind glanced at each other and quietly untied the thin blanket draped over their bodies.

It didn't take long for a round head to poke out from the vertical wall like a knife, furry, orcs! One by one climbed up, few in number, all armed with weapons, and they did not speak, but formed a column and headed east.

When the orcs walked away, Lin De let out a breath that he had been holding back for a long time: "What do you think?"

"I don't know much about Longyan Fort, but to the east is the territory of Hohenheim, so it is impossible for those dozens of people to sneak attack Nax City, right?" Nax is the closest town to Longyan Fort in Hohenheim, and there are more than five hundred mages and mercenaries stationed there, which is already half of the population. Those orcs won't be sent to death even if they have the slightest intelligence.

"I guess they're out there to plunder the homeless. Lind squinted in the direction the orcs had left.

"Outcasts?"

"The area bordering Hohenheim in Befast was often infested by orcs, and some homeless wanderers built houses and farmed land abandoned by farmers. ”

It's too dangerous to live near Longyan Fort, although there is a natural barrier Sword Blade Mountain, which is not suitable for large-scale marches, but this does not mean that there will not be a small group of orcs climbing the mountain to make a detour to sneak attack, and the original occupants moved out because they could not bear the harassment. Even if you live and farm, isn't that the same as telling the orcs that there is food that can be obtained without much effort?

Link knew the purpose of the orcs and went to rob the food grown by the homeless.

It's just a team of ten or twenty people, even if Longyan Fort is willing to send troops, wait for the scouts to send back the information before sending people to arrive, these orcs have already fled. Hohenheim didn't care, and the mages would never care about the towns that depended on them if they weren't at the level of war. Maybe the orc army I encountered last time was the same, only going in the wrong direction would run to Aiden.

"I'll go up and have a look. Lind folded the blanket and put it in his backpack, he grabbed the pendant hidden under his clothes, and the whole person immediately dived into the shadows.

Expert Assassin tracking skills are no worse than the Ranger, and with the support of Silent Walk and Shadow Lurking, they will soon catch up with the Orcs.

When the Assassin had traveled far enough, Link asked if the Falcon could have the Night Market ability. Birds have poor eyesight at night, and he's not sure if the magical creatures of the fantasy world can see at night. Luckily, wind falcons don't have much better night vision than humans, but they can sense the flow of wind to determine their direction and even track their prey.

"Ney, does it count as a violation of the iron law that children of nature must not interfere with the balance by preventing the orcs from killing unarmed outcasts?"

Of course, Wind Falcon's answer once or twice is nothing, if it goes on like this, the scales of the faction will tilt, and Link will become the punisher.

"Isn't killing humans a punishment?"

"Coo-goo. "It has nothing to do with what life is killed, and not obeying the law is punishment.

"I see. Link took off his longbow and hung the quiver around his waist.

I kind of understand why Befast fell in the first place. What's the point of such a Guardian if the Orcs are allowed to slaughter outcasts for the sake of discipline? Even if it's just a virtual game, Link doesn't want to sit idly by in cold blood.

"Follow the orcs!"

The Wind Falcon flew straight into the air, giving Link the direction the orcs were heading in.

After about an hour to the west, the orcs changed course and headed north, changing from bare stalagmites to hills. The orcs made a beeline for a small village next to farmland. The screams shattered the silence of the night, and by the time Link quickened his pace, the orcs had already entered the house, scavenging for any food they could find, and killing humans with little resistance along the way.

Ignoring Lind's lack of visibility and the fact that he was a spy sent by Malik, Link activated his Eagle Eye and Precision, drew his bow and shot down the two orcs closest to him.

"Hey~ What are you doing?" Linde, who was lurking outside the village, couldn't help but speak.

"Do what I want. ”

"Those are just npnetbsp;" I think it makes sense. As he spoke, Link shot down two more.

"Uhh

The screams alarmed the orcs, who fled into the hut and fired back with their crossbow arrows, and Lind quickly distanced himself from Link. The number of orcs is not much, but there are only two of them, and there is no chance of winning the battle.

Thanks to Link's attention from all the orcs, the remaining outcasts were able to escape. Seeing that his purpose was accomplished, he also withdrew. Perhaps fearing an ambush, the orc only fired back a few symbolic arrows and did not pursue.

Linde caught up with an angry accusation: "We are scouts, not pioneers, and it is our task to pass back the current information." ”

"You can go back and report the situation here, and I'll do the rest of the patrol alone. ”

Of course, Linde couldn't go back like this, maybe this patrol was also one of the ways to evaluate recruits, and he didn't want to be demoted to the logistics unit because he turned back halfway.

The Wind Falcon, which was tracking the orcs, returned to report, and after scavenging for food, they retreated along the same path.

The huffing Linde stared at Link for a while before turning around and heading in the opposite direction of the village, following behind Link without saying a word, all he thought about was the current situation.

The Kaogo Heath is not a desert with no grass, and the climate is indeed much harsher than that of the fertile Inner 6. In addition, the orcs continue to be nomadic in nature, and if it doesn't rain for many years, they will definitely have to fight if they don't eat. Dante also said that this situation should be cycled every few years, but if a war breaks out when most of the elite are transferred to the north, Longyan Fort will definitely not be able to bear it, whether it is the undead or the orcs attacking the inner 6, the balance maintained since the Silver Age will be broken. Wouldn't that be a reason for me to make a move?

It wasn't until the sky was getting white that Link and Linde realized that they had gone astray, and they couldn't see the iconic stalagmites of Sword Blade Mountain in either direction. It may have been a mistake in judgment since leaving the village yesterday, and he had been heading north, deep into the border near Hohenheim.

"Unlucky...... Linde cursed, it was his own direction, and he couldn't complain.

"Have you ever learned how to orient yourself in the wild?" Link asked suddenly.

"It's not simple, look at the sun. ”

Moments later, Linde burst into tears. The hills were so thick with fog that he couldn't even see the trees a few meters away, let alone the sun.

"Something is wrong. Link looked around.

"What's wrong?" Aside from the fact that the fog was a bit choking, Linde didn't notice anything wrong.

"The fog is too thick......"

"What's so strange about that. Lind thought Link was making a bit of a fuss.

"It's summer, how can there be such a big ......," Link's words came to an abrupt end.

Not only is it difficult to form fog in summer, but there are not many crops ripening in summer, and even if the orcs want to grab food, they should wait until autumn. Senseless harassment is likely to lead them to encounter the forces of Dragonrock Fort, which is unconscionable.

Lind felt that there was some truth in what he said, "What is the purpose of the orcs?"

"Obviously, it can't be the food that hasn't been harvested yet, and it's not the displaced people who don't pose any threat to them. "Link ruled out the possibility of food first, the homeless people are not as strong as the mountain people, and they refuse to submit to any country, no one will care about their life or death. Even if the orcs wanted to attract the attention of Longyan Fort, there was no need to use outcasts......

"Lord, the building is crooked. Linde suddenly said something inexplicable.

"What?"

"I'm reminding you that it was fog, not orcs. ”

These words were like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the fog that shrouded Link's heart.

"I know what they're up to!"

"Huh?"

"Orcs are invading this area to attract the attention of Longyan Fort, these fogs can interfere with the intruder's vision, there must be hidden secrets here!"

Seeing what Link said, Linde took out the pendant he was wearing around his neck, and the pendant glowed red, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

Malik's emblem reacted. Not only is it dangerous, but it also hides a terrible conspiracy. ”

Malik, the god of shadows, is the master of conspiracy and assassination, and his followers can sense danger with the help of the emblem.

Linde's words made Link even more convinced that there was something wrong with the area he had strayed into, and what should he do next?

Well...... The Emblem had already been used, and even if he had the Orb of Cause and Effect against the Child of Nature, it wouldn't have worked on me. Before the sky is fully dawn, use the Apocalypse to decide to stay before the spell slot resets.

Link moved the skin of the tree before using the Divine Revelation, and his eyes suddenly turned bright red, this is ...... Blood?

The revelation was too short and clueless, and Link decided to use the Divine Knows.

As soon as the skill was activated, the surroundings fell into pitch darkness, as if they were in a very empty place, there was a clanging echo, and the darkness was quickly expelled, and one after another lit torches lit up the surroundings. A group of gnomes digging hard underground, and the slightest slow movement will be immediately whipped and cursed by the orc guards. An orc dressed like a chieftain was surrounded by his own people to see the fruits of the dwarf's labor, and Link was about to lean over to hear what they had to say, when the image suddenly shook like a pool of stones, rippling in waves.

Detached from his senses, Link looked helplessly at Linde who patted him on the shoulder. I almost knew what the orcs were digging for, and I blamed this idiot.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm just wondering if we're going to go back and report or find out what's going on here. ”

"Nonsense! Withdraw, of course. I don't want to give my life to such a boring task. The morning dew made the earth soft and damp, and Linde walked back step by step on the footprints he had left behind, and after a few steps he stopped, and he slowly turned back, his face full of horror.

"Gone ......"

"What?" Link leaned in.

"We came to the footprints. Linde pointed to the ground, and the fresh footprints disappeared one by one.
