Chapter 8: Crazy Revenge (3)
"Bang!bang!bang!bang!"
Ryan aimed at the orc who rushed towards him, and released a magic "missile burst" of his own creation, and five purple magic missiles flew out of Ryan's fingertips in unison, drawing five graceful trajectories in the air, and hitting the orc's hands, feet and head in succession, knocking down the battle axe held by the orc, and sending his body flying in the air.
When the orc's corpse fell to the ground, a short but thrilling ambush ended. The perfect two-on-thirty victory didn't give Ryan and Allendo the slightest bit of excitement. Ryan took out the shadow and carefully examined the corpse of each orc, and after confirming that all the enemies had been destroyed, he walked towards Erendo with confidence.
Allendo had changed back into his human form, but he still held the battle axe used by the orc wolf cavalry in his hand, and Ryan walked up to Elendor in a few steps, who handed the tomahawk to Ryan.
Ryan took the tomahawk in his hand, and he heard Ellendo's voice say to him, "Look, Ryan. The style of this tomahawk, as well as its materials. ”
Ryan examined the tomahawk in his hand closely, and was surprised to find that it was an iron weapon. Ryan remembers that both Lille and York had said that orcs were not as skilled in smelting and forging as humans, and that for hundreds of years, they could only use bronze as a raw material to make weapons and armor. But what appeared in front of Ryan's eyes was a well-made iron weapon, both in terms of raw materials and its craftsmanship, similar to what Ryan had seen in the blacksmith shops in the human city.
"This?" Ryan said to Allendo, "was it smuggled here, or did the orcs master the corresponding technology themselves?"
Alendor thought for a moment and replied: "These wolf cavalry blocking the front line can be equipped with such iron weapons, they have strong mobility, but their combat effectiveness is not yet able to confront the human army head-on, if the orcs have only a small number of iron weapons, then basically they cannot be equipped with these almost scout troops." ”
"If it's smuggled in, that's a lot of money. Ellendo, we've been to Liberty Paradise, Seabreeze and Sunrise. With the current human transportation capacity, even if it is carried out in the open, it will probably take four or five years to equip all the armies of the orcs with such weapons. ”
Alendor shook his head and said, "It can't be smuggled." It should be said that it is impossible to smuggle it all over. What human chamber of commerce can do such large-scale smuggling? Who can go four or five years without being noticed by others? But I would rather that all these weapons of the orcs are smuggled in, that at most shows that some merchants are mercenary. What I'm most afraid of is ......"
Ryan sighed and helped Alendor say the sentence he didn't say: "I'm afraid that some people among the humans will collude with the orcs, if the orcs get all kinds of advanced technology from the humans and can make these weapons by themselves, it will be troublesome." No matter how frequent the smuggling is, after all, the quantity is limited, and the use of a little bit is a little less, but if the orcs master these things, they can continue to produce them on their own, and there is no longer any restriction on them. They're already physically stronger than humans, and now they have the same equipment as humans, and I'm worried about ......"
Alendor comforted Ryan and said, "Ryan, don't think about it so much just yet. Whatever the possibility is, it is now impossible to stop, and what we have to do is to bring these situations back to Thor Fortress and tell General Kissernst. ”
Ryan nodded, he put the orc-stained battle axe in his hand into his storage pocket, then thought about it, searched the camp again, and picked up several other weapons that the orcs had dropped on the ground, the same as this one. Outside the camp, those trained wolves were still standing in place, even if the explosion was so violent just now, it did not alarm them, which surprised Ryan and Allendo, and at the same time secretly worried in their hearts: these are just scout troops on the front line, they can have such well-trained mounts, and if they are the main army of orcs, then the combat effectiveness can be imagined.
While searching the camp, Ryan and Allendo also saw the last thing they wanted to see, in the corner of a cowhide tent, stacked with the heads of a dozen human mercenaries with blurred flesh, needless to say, these were the remains of their compatriots who had been killed before. Ryan looked at the remains, bowed respectfully, and then recited the spell of the fireball technique, he didn't want the remains of these compatriots to be mistreated again, then destruction was the only way. The bodies of these compatriots do not know where they are, their heads are already blurred and unrecognizable, and there is no point in bringing them back.
The fireball technique was completed, but Ryan's heart did not have the determination to release the magic in the past, and he hesitated, because this was the first time that Ryan did not release attack magic on his own enemy. The moment the fireball shot, Ryan twisted his face to the side, and he couldn't bear to look at it any longer. It was a small action, but a big problem happened, and Ryan's magic, which had always been known for his precise control, actually missed.
Due to Ryan's inner hesitation, the power of the fireball explosion could not be precisely controlled, and as a result, the magic flames that burst out were a foot higher than expected, and the top of the tent was ignited by this one foot higher. The scorching magic flame instantly ignited the cowhide tent, and the raging fire rose into the sky.
"Ahh Ryan looked at the consequences of himself in front of him in a daze, slightly in a daze, and didn't think of too many things for a while.
"Woo~" Xiaobai's cry woke up Ryan and Elendo, and they remembered a very serious problem, this raging fire and thick black smoke, in clear weather, must be able to spread far away, doesn't that mean that other orc armies will come soon?
"Alendo," Ryan said with a sigh, "I can't imagine that I, Ryan, also made mistakes." ”
"Haha, haha. Alendor clutched her stomach and laughed.
Ryan scratched his head, it was obvious that his mistake had exposed the whereabouts of the two, and he couldn't understand why Allendo was smiling so happily.
Apparently aware of the urgency of the situation, Alendor laughed a few words before pausing before explaining to the bewildered Ryan, "The goddess of life is above, I finally saw that you made a mistake. You know what, Ryan. I've never seen you make a mistake since I met you, everything you do is so perfect, sometimes we even think maliciously, aren't you human?"
"Ugh!" Ryan choked on Allendo's words.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself sometimes, Ryan," said Allendo. You don't seem to be in your twenties, but you talk and act like a middle-aged man in your thirties or forties. Alright, let's get out of here. ”
The two said to go, and when Ryan walked out of the camp, he suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly said to Allendo, "Wait, where are we going?"
Allendo said casually: "Naturally, it's back to Thor's Fortress, the information we get should be very important, and besides, the orcs will definitely hunt us down, and it will be difficult for us to continue to investigate." ”
Ryan shook his head and said, "You can't go south." Although it only takes two days to return to Thor here, we are on foot, and it is impossible to escape the pursuit of the wolf cavalry in any case. Moreover, although we have obtained a few iron battle axes, it does not mean that all the armies of the orcs are equipped with such weapons. ”
"What do you mean?"
"To the north! The orcs will also think that we are rushing back to Thor's Fortress, and their focus will be on the south, of course. Even if we can return safely, I'm afraid that we won't be able to go deeper here next time, so why not take this opportunity and sneak into the vicinity of the Beast Blood Castle to have a look. ”
"You are bold enough, the Beast Blood Fortress now has at least half a million troops. ”
"The most dangerous place is safer, who would have thought that two humans would dare to go deep into the place where the orc army gathered?"
"Okay, listen to you. ”
"Let's go, it's an adventure, but as long as we are careful not to reveal our whereabouts, there should be no danger. Well, we don't have much food, so we might as well ......" Ryan said, twisting his head back and looking at the food that was still being grilled on the fire.
"Quick. Alendor and Ryan took a few steps back to the camp, quickly cutting the food prepared by the orcs into large pieces and storing it in Ryan's storage pocket. With all this done, Ryan and Elendor left the orc camp once again.
A moment later, several teams of orc wolf cavalry surrounded the place, and they carefully searched the ruined camp, but unfortunately found not a single living mouth.
A beast who seemed to be the leader said to his companion: "Look at the situation here, it should be a human team that has attacked here, you see the two shallow pits in the center of the camp, most of them are caused by magic." And our soldiers basically didn't have much resistance, it seems that they were attacked by magicians, otherwise it would not be possible to see only the corpses of our soldiers and not the corpses of any intruders. ”
"Maybe they took the corpses with them?" said the leader of another wolf cavalry squad, grinning.
"They won't have too many men, otherwise they won't be able to cross our blockade. The leader who had spoken had said, "Now that they have caused such a big commotion, they will definitely return to Thor's Fortress quickly, otherwise they will die under our strict search." ”
“......”
“......”
“......”
The leaders of these teams of orc wolf cavalry kept expressing their opinions, and finally they came to an agreement: they must not let go of the humans who are pursuing the sneak attack to the south with all their might. As a result, these wolf cavalry squads were dispatched one after another, and soon disappeared into the southern steppe.
