Through Jason's mouth, Kane slowly learned what had happened in the past two weeks, and in counterpart, an unprecedented anger also surged up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to Jason:

They were out of danger that day, and not long after they were discovered by the orcs of the Riggilla Mountains.

Unlike the vast and untraceable forests of eternal silence, the Rigila Mountains are mostly hilly, with few steep mountains and few lush forests that can be easily hidden.

And since the orcs occupied here, they have laid a heavy army here, which can be described as a battalion in five steps and a village in ten steps, and their group of conspicuous humans is naturally easy to be targeted by the other party.

Several breakouts were held under Jason's command, and although they were narrowly escaped from being surrounded, their situation became precarious as more and more orcs accumulated.

It was at this time that Bard led his team to resolutely break away from the team to divert the large army of orcs, which allowed the Silver Soul Army to get out of danger.

After that, they changed hiding places three or four times, and finally found the cave at the bottom of a cliff, and they settled down.

It's just that at this time, there are orcs everywhere, and because of the scarcity of food, Jason once sent out a few swordsmen to hunt, but not many of them can come back in the end.

This is no more than the wooded, animal-infested eternal forest, the terrain is open and there is not much vegetation, and if you want to hit the prey, you have to go far away, and the risk of exposure is naturally greater.

Obviously, after being targeted by the orcs, these heroic warriors all made the same choice in order not to expose the place where everyone was.

It's just that with the passage of time, the food stored by everyone has become scarcer and scarcer, and the mountains are almost exhausted.

After listening to Jason's description, Kane let out a long sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, everyone on the front foot was still rejoicing at the high morale of the imminent return to the empire, and in just a few days, they were forced to be embarrassed, and they couldn't even supply basic food supplies.

"It's not your fault. Seeing Kane's depressed appearance, Jason patted him on the shoulder and said, "The march route was planned by everyone, and no one would have thought that the orcs would ambush us here." ”

Kane shook his head and said, "I'm not as fragile as you think. ”

After a pause, he raised his eyebrows and asked with a frown, "Did you catch the orcs again?" and asked them how they knew we were here, and why they came to deal with us at any cost?"

Jason didn't answer, looking a little hesitant.

Kane was stunned: "Personal vendetta?"

Jason nodded and said, "I've captured a few of them, and I've interrogated them, remember the orc leader you hacked to death in the valley last time? That's the younger brother of the leader of our tribe, that is, the one who duel with you." ”

Ha!

I see!

Kane finally figured out why these orcs had come out on such a large scale to target a mere hundred of them at this time of smoke.

"I should have made up a few swords and chopped that thing into meat sauce!" Kane gritted his teeth, resentful

Seeing his look, Jason breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, he was worried that Kane would feel guilty for this reason, and looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he was overthinking.

Although it was later learned that the orcs were chasing them because of the orc who had been hacked to death by Kane, no one felt remorse for it.

This is the battlefield, they are soldiers, and they are at odds with the orcs.

Destroy one more enemy on the battlefield today, and one less human sacrifice tomorrow, after all, that sacrifice may be one's own compatriots, friends, or even relatives.

After a pause, Jason continued, "As for how they knew that we were going to break through to the southern side of the Eternal Forest, this is said to have been calculated by their prophet, who is said to have the ability to communicate with their beast god. ”

"Beast God?" Kane shook his head decisively and said, "I don't believe it. ”

Unknown Prophet This is an old-fashioned story that even bards are unwilling to tell, if the orcs really have such ability, the Rhine defense line would have collapsed early in the morning, not to mention the Rhine, the entire empire, the entire continent would have been flattened by them.

Since waking up, Kane has repeatedly wondered why this escape was blocked, but no matter where he starts, he has no clue.

You know, there were several paths back to the empire from the ice field, and Kane even changed the route of the march because of Mars.

And when they descended and plunged into the Forest of Eternal Silence, it was impossible for the orcs to find them in the primeval forest that obscured the sky.

The only thing that could catch their tracks was the scattered band of orcs that had been wiped out before they reached the southern side of the Forest of Eternal Silence.

But Kane had already cleaned up all the traces at the beginning, and in that kind of forest, it was normal for a few orcs to be attacked and taken away by fierce beasts.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if they recognized that it was a human who did it, and it was their team who did it, it would be unrealistic to pull up such an elaborate encirclement net so quickly.

In other words, the orcs had already determined that they would take the route of Mount Marghera through the southern side of the Eternal Silence Forest long before they descended the mountain.

Jason continued: "I don't believe it either, so I did a bit of a deduction with a few of them in Karachi. ”

After a pause, he who had always been arrogant sighed at this time, and even said with a little horror: "But no matter how we deduce, we haven't found a reasonable answer, this commander of the enemy army is really terrible." ”

Kane nodded sympathetically.

Thinking of the orc's layout this time, he was still a little scared at this time, not sooner or later, but only when they reached the middle of the road and could not advance or retreat before starting to close the net.

And when Kane was pulling the opponent's troops in a roundabout way, he was even more shocked to find that every location of the opponent's troop deployment was impartial, and the troops placed were just right, and they were seamlessly integrated, completely blocking any of their vitality.

It is no exaggeration to say that in that situation, if it weren't for the fact that there was a magician in the team, if Kane hadn't chosen an unusual path, they wouldn't have survived!

Although it was only a simple local encirclement and suppression work, the meticulous layout ability revealed behind this could not be done by few commanders even within the Saint Laurent Empire!

"And that's just this encirclement. Speaking of this, Jason's face was much more solemn, and he said a little ridiculously: "You should really listen to the military deployment of these orcs in the Rijera Mountains, that level of detail, I can't believe that these green-skinned heads made it!"
