The distance is calculated precisely. As the two Kodomons began to foam at the mouth, Asa saw the team waiting for them in front of them.

It seems that during this time, Oufu sent reinforcements. More than a dozen werewolves and ogres, and more than a dozen of those large ballistas were in formation under the command of Luken.

Thunderbirds were generally reluctant to fly out of the depths of the mountains, and only a dozen eagle eagles barely caught up, but they only lost a few corpses and fled under the power of the huge crossbow arrows.

Having received the people and things to be picked up, the orcs left as quickly as possible. There were only four Kodomons left, and two of them were half dead from exhaustion, so only half of the ballistas they had worked so hard to bring were thrown there. After all, this is the range of the Sandface Mountains, and it is better to leave as soon as possible. Kodomon was carrying ore and Beamon's nails, werewolves and ogres trotting alongside. For their physical strength, which is different from that of humans, this dozens of miles away from Mount Sandface is nothing. With the help of honey, water, and food, Asa quickly regained his strength, and is now almost able to move freely. But after all, he can't run like a werewolf, so he's the only one sitting on Kodomon.

Luken commanded the group, jumped on the Kodomon and sat down next to Asa. Most of his hair had fallen from charring, and his tail was gone. It looks and feels weird, like a hybrid of a dog and a human that has lost its hair. He whispered, "I'm sorry. It was I who decided to leave you there. ”

"What's there to be sorry about. Asa smiled faintly. "You don't even take the ore. Explain that you have to put me down as a last resort. ”

Actually, everyone else was against it at the time. I repeatedly told them that your injuries were too bad to shake, and that I would be able to get you out, and they agreed. ”

Asa nodded slightly and said, "I believe that your decision must have your reasons." And personally, I also think that this choice is the right one. The two newborn Beamons must have been very happy to see Cedros. ”

"If it can be successfully domesticated, it will be Oufu's incomparable combat effectiveness. There was an astonishing brilliance in Lucan's tiny eyes.

Asa nodded slightly. During this time, he had a full appreciation for the abilities of this behemoth. And Oufu's experience with armed orcs and beasts is unmatched by other countries. An ogre is ten times more powerful than his bare hands when he wears special heavy armor and takes on a weapon, so you can imagine how powerful two armed Beamon will be on the battlefield. And for this precious combat power, Cedros will definitely not skimp on materials to add two armors with magical resistance to them. Two such monsters can almost wipe out a small army.

"Ore is not afraid of being lost, and you can probably hold it out for a while. But the two newborn Beamons were not good, and if we left them for a few days they would surely die, so we had to leave there as soon as possible, feed them honey juice and chewed meat, and send them to Eufu as soon as possible. So you can only wait there with the ore for a few days, and the breath of the two Beamon beasts in that cave is still there, and the other beasts will never dare to approach. ”

"I said, I don't care. No need to explain it to me. You've made the right choice. Asa looked at the hairless werewolf and smiled. "It's not easy for you to be able to tell that the two Beamon have just given birth to cubs and found their nest before the wind rises. ”

"Actually, it's nothing. After all, it's strange that two Beamons are in the same place. And many solitary animals only stay together when mating and giving birth. And the second Beamon appeared so suddenly, which naturally means that the nest is not far away. Lucan let out a long breath, baring his fangs. "And when I first saw a monster like Beamon, I thought if it could be domesticated like a bipedal wyvern, how helpful would it be for Oufu....."

"From Oufu's point of view at all times, it seems that Cedelos really didn't misunderstand you. Asa nodded. Cedros made a point of mentioning the werewolf when he handed it over to him. Although it is only a little mentioned, what is worthy of Sedlos is not brute force and bravery, but wisdom and judgment.

"Because that's our city. Lucan replied faintly, smiling a little bitterly. "Because of the relationship between the two little Beamons, Crolin had to be abandoned by us. ”

"Then he ....." Asa then remembered that there was another ogre who was just as badly injured and unconscious as he was.

"Even the corpse has not been found. Lucan's wolf face and voice showed strange sadness, and he said slowly. "He's too heavy. We can't send him to Beamon's lair before the wind blows, like you, we can only find a crevice to hide in the edge of the cliff, and we just hope that his luck will be better. But this time, when Altyn brought people back, he didn't see anything. ”

Asamran. Hard work brought him to Taniguchi, but it didn't really bring him out. He asked with some hesitation, "Is it okay for Will to abandon him for the sake of the two little Beamons?"

Crolin and Weir were the best friends of the four ogres who entered the Sandface Mountains, and the two who fought together to the end. Orcs of the same race are often far stronger than humans.

"Nope. The situation is forced. He also knew that Croling's role in Oufu would never be greater than that of the two of them. ”

Asa sighed. Only then did he realize the true meaning of 'our city' in Luken's mouth. He said, "You just said they didn't agree to leave me behind. Do they think I'm more useful than a Beamon?"

"You're a friend of the Lord of Cedlos. Since he asked you to lead us, they must not let you die. Lucan replied lightly, and smiled strangely. "But as far as I'm concerned, weighing the pros and cons, I still think none of you are more important than Momon. ”

Because Asa's identity is so important, Cedros didn't explain to the orcs who the man who would lead them to death was, and only used a 'friend' to explain all the reasons. But in the eyes of these orcs, this explanation is also sufficient.

Asa sighed again. He didn't know whether to be grateful or emotional to these orcs.

Lucan stared at Asa, his wolf eyes shining with the light of a human. He seemed a little hesitant and asked Asa softly, "May I ask a question?"

Asa nodded. "What's the problem, you say. ”

Lucan looked closely at Assa's mundane face, which could be hidden in the crowd, and asked slowly, "Why do you keep wearing a mask?" ”

Asa blinked his ordinary-looking eyes and shut the two knife-like flashes inside. The expression on his face was a very kind smile. "How do you know I'm wearing a mask?"

Although Asa himself could not see it, he was sure that the expression must be perfect, and the slightest hostility and inappropriateness would not be visible to the werewolf. This is a magic mask made by Sandru himself. Just because someone who can use necromancy can use it flexibly, you can see how amazing this thing is. According to Sandru's knowledge of the human body, any muscular change in expression can be seamlessly expressed from this mask. Necromancy-treated human skin and muscles are not only breathable, they can even sweat, automatically matching the color of the surrounding skin. Asa had seen Sandru wear such a mask, at least he couldn't see any clues in any way.

Suddenly touched on the most sensitive topic in his heart, Asa reflexively became a little wary and vigilant. Thankfully, the sound of Kodomon's bulky footsteps and Lucan's voice were low, and Altyn and the other werewolves trotting intently didn't turn around, and it seemed that they couldn't hear their conversation.

"Because the smell on your body is always a little lighter on your face," Lucan said. It's like the feeling of a person with a face covered with a cloth. And when you fainted, I noticed a slight smell of magic on your face that was out of harmony with your body. So I think you're wearing a weirdly made magic mask. ”

Asa didn't answer, but looked at Lucan for a moment, and suddenly said, "I remember you used that magic scroll I dropped. ”

"Yes. Lucan nodded.

"Magic scrolls aren't accessible to everyone. Whether it's a magician or a low-level apprentice, you have to know at least a little bit of magic. Asa's eyes also kept falling on the werewolf's face. "I never thought an orc could use a magic scroll. ”

Lucan didn't speak.

"And the Flame Scroll is the most dangerous of all magic scrolls. I've heard that there was a precedent for roasting a magician's entire body, but if you use it and just burn the hair off your body, it shouldn't just be luck. No one would dare to be careless in making such a high-end scroll, so it is unlikely that there will be inferior goods that are not powerful enough. ”

Lucan nodded, still not speaking.

"The most important thing is that I haven't heard of a werewolf who can smell magic. Sedros probably didn't know, or he would have told me first. Said that there was a werewolf in the team who also had a good understanding of magic. The vigilance in Asa's eyes was already on display. He had always thought that the team was full of orcs who knew nothing about magic, so he dared to use necromancy unscrupulously in the Sandface Mountains. Although their wanted notice hadn't spread in this relatively isolated city when they left Orf, the orc might be able to recognize the magic he was using, so it would be easy for him to think of who he was when he knew about it.

A werewolf whose identity seems a little strange, and who obviously already knows too much, could have been killed here first. Asa gathered his mana and moved his hand behind his back. Even if I am not sure about it now, there is still more than half a month on the way back to Oufu, and there is time.

After a moment of silence, Lucan pursed his lips, which made his face look as depressed as that of a dog who had been beaten with a stick. He nodded and said, "Yes." Actually, I know a little bit about magic, and I didn't tell anyone about it. This is because unlike my fellow citizens, I was ..... raised by a human alchemist. ”

Asa nodded abruptly. "No wonder you speak so fluently. ”

"When I was very young, our tribe was wiped out by the armies of Erathia. I was knocked unconscious in the chaos of war and woke up to find myself with an old alchemist. According to him, he bought me from Erathia's army at a high price because an alchemy experiment required a young orc's brain and heart, but I survived because I didn't find any other materials for the experiment. The alchemist originally kept me as a gatekeeper, but when he found out that I had learned how to speak, he was so surprised that he took me as half an apprentice and half an assistant. You know, to have an orc assistant is unique in the entire continent. My master lived in seclusion in a forest and studied alchemy, and he didn't usually interact with people, so he talked to me a lot, and I learned some magic and other things with him. I grew up with magical objects, so I was able to spot the mask on your face. ”

Asa nodded, Sandru probably didn't think about hiding a werewolf's nose when he was making the mask. He asked, "Then how did you come to Oufu?" ”

"More than two years ago, someone accused my master of specializing in witchcraft. When the people of the church and the army came, they immediately decided that me, an evil orc, was evidence of witchcraft. My master was killed on the spot, and I used an inferior teleportation scroll that he had gotten out of nowhere. Luckily, I didn't get teleported into the rocks underground, but fell and broke my leg at a thousand meters in the forest on the border of Erathia. I tried to sneak in with some humans, but no matter how careful and tried, the end result was an army hunting me down. Only then did I realize that there was only one way out of human society, so I desperately ran away into the wild highlands. But there are also human armies exterminating the orcs. I don't know how long I spent on the run, but just when I thought I was going crazy, I finally met my kind who had been taken in by the Lord of Sedlos. Luken sighed, even the werewolf's strange tone could be heard with great emotion. "I really didn't expect to see the same kind of person in my life one day, and I almost broke down. ”

"Later, I followed the city lord of Cedlos to build Oufu. He's such an amazing guy. Let the orcs who have been hunted down, surrounded and suppressed, like lost dogs, be independent and have their own country, what is it like to be able to have their own country, you as a human will not understand. For us, Oufu is no longer a country or a homeland. Although the tone of this werewolf is still so strange, the perseverance and emotion in his voice can still be felt clearly. "That's all we have. ”

"I don't dare tell my fellow citizens and the Lord of Sedlos about my magic and my previous experiences, only that my former tribe has been wiped out. I don't want them to see me like an outlier. Lucan smiled wryly. "But it seems that it is not okay not to tell. ”

"It doesn't seem like a big deal. Asa nodded slightly, looked at Lucan and muttered.
