Chapter 4: Ambush in the Canyon
The ship is burned, and the ore cannot be brought back!
"Madman, you're fast, go and see, no matter what, at least save a boat!"
Feng Zhongmian was commanded by Mu Yun, a little reluctantly, but lazily grabbed the long sword, kicked his feet suddenly, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant. This guy is incredibly fast, and he can arrive in a matter of moments.
The burning of the ship is clearly in the back road.
If the enemy wants to ambush, then it should appear soon.
Meng Hu drew his weapon and shouted loudly, "All are ready!" The mercenaries gathered one after another, putting on a defensive posture, and Mu Yun was protected in the center.
Mu Yun's eyes were solemn: "Who will do ghosts behind his back?"
Qin Yue said worriedly, "It can't be a half-orc!"
It is not easy for the orcs to go directly to the other end without passing through the canyon, so the attackers, nine times out of ten, have someone else. Mu Ying'er was guarded by Mu Yun, and her heart was up and down, looking around, hoping to find some clues, but it was just dark and there was nothing in her field of vision.
"What, someone is attacking the rear? It is impossible for the orcs to bypass the defense line of Luohan Mountain without attracting attention at all, there must be a human being playing tricks!" When Li Bao came over and understood what had happened, he also felt that something was strange, and quickly summoned the soldiers and said: "Cavalry team, let's go and see!"
"Thank you!"
"My territory, how can I make trouble!"
"Let's go!"
Li Bao led a team of light cavalry, holding torches, and quickly supported,
As soon as dawn came, the east was faintly bright, the moon had long since disappeared, and the stars had disappeared. In the special terrain of the canyon, there is basically no light, and it is absolutely dark!
The campfire is the only source of light, but the lighting radius is less than 200 meters, the effective field of view is less than 80 meters, and the outside of the camp seems to be a world soaked in thick ink, silent and very eerie.
Now there are only a few hundred people in the entire canyon, a range of dozens of miles.
If someone wants to sneak attack, it's the easiest.
Whether it's a human or a half-orc, it's impossible to tell yet!
Mu Ying'er stood next to Mu Yun, a little frightened, but being exacerbated by the tense atmosphere of the enemy, she suddenly remembered that she was also a person with combat effectiveness, and immediately pulled out the magic spear tied to her back, holding it with both hands, her little face was tense, "Young master, don't worry, I will protect you!"
After speaking, he put on a posture to protect Mu Yun.
No matter who is doing the trick, no one will be allowed to hurt the young master!
When Mu Yun saw her, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Hey, did you hear any sounds!" Qin Yue faintly heard some small voices, straightened her goggles, and listened carefully, "It seems to have come from the front."
"There really is a voice!"
"Boss Meng Hu, something is coming!"
The mercenary shouted.
There was a sound of hurried and messy footsteps in the canyon, as if a large number of people were moving in the canyon at high speed. Coming from the north, there is no doubt that this is a group of half-orcs. In just a few minutes, a large number of torches appeared in the darkness, like a long dragon.
Meng Hu saw the comer clearly and yelled: "Damn! It's a half-orc!"
Mu Yun and Qin Yue were stunned.
The ship was burned in the back, and a large group of orcs, coming from the direction of the plateau, were charging at great speed.
"Here!"
"Found the Terran monkeys!"
"Kill, kill, split their flesh, chop their bones!"
"Everything here, it's all ours!"
Mu Yun's first thought was that a certain clan turned his face, but he found it after careful identification. These orcs are all yellow-skinned and thin, their equipment is very rough and rudimentary, and their weapons are mainly stone sticks and bone clubs, which are obviously half-orcs of some small tribes.
In the darkness, it is impossible to distinguish the number, judging from the momentum, at least thousands!
The camp was on high ground, easy to defend, bows and muskets, arrows were fired, and muskets were fired in unison. It's just that due to environmental restrictions, the mercenary attack accuracy is not high, and only a few orcs are defeated.
There are too many half-orcs, and they pounce one by one with wooden sticks and stone sticks, like a wild beast out of control, which can't be killed at all! How can a few hundred mercenary soldiers resist the fierce half-orcs?
"Retreat!"
These half-orcs are hungry creatures, hungry beasts, the most ferocious, how can it be justified? These fellows are like crazy and bloodthirsty ant colonies, appearing from different directions to surround their prey, and bloodthirsty and brutal strange cries rang out in all directions at the same time.
Defense is a dead end!
There is a silver lining to evacuation!
The crowd hurriedly retreated.
The orcs target the resources in the camp, and as long as they withdraw from the camp, they can be safe.
At this critical juncture, Meng Hu resolutely shouted: "Everyone go quickly!
The whole thing is very strange!
Arrive at the canyon, build a camp, and end the deal...... A total of a few days.
The civilization form of the plateau belongs to the tribal form, which is a very primitive society, so the information transmission is very closed and slow. The nine major clans also received a special notice to be able to accurately rush to the canyon, and the news of the transaction here was not enough for ten days and half a month, and it was even impossible to spread at all, because the relationship between tribes was generally hostile.
These orcs have more than one tribe, which is obviously instigated and tempted, so they know that there is a lot of food in the canyon.
Who leaked the information?
The ship is burned, it is attacked, first it is short, and then it is killed. The timing is accurate, and the move is very vicious, this person not only wants to strangle the transaction between the two clans in the cradle, but also puts Mu Yun to death!
"You guys get out of here...... Ahh
A sentinel soldier shouted with a sword and shield, and a burly figure jumped out, picked up a stone club, and slammed it on the soldier's back. With the tragic sound of broken bones, the soldiers flew out directly, blood was scattered everywhere, and everyone was in chaos.
In the chaos, figures swelled, torches were knocked off, and bonfires were trampled on.
Everyone could not distinguish between east, west, north and south, and there was no way to organize combat effectiveness.
Orcs don't have better night vision than Terrans, but they live like beasts and have developed a keen sense of smell and hearing, so they can spot Terrans by judging sounds.
"Retreat!"
"Stop fighting, abandon camp!"
Mu Yun saw that a few soldiers wanted to hold on, so he immediately ran over and shouted, and was knocked to the ground in the chaos. When he stood up, there were fights all around, the Terrans shouted to retreat, and there were more and more orcs, almost covering the surroundings.
"Ying'er!"
"Qin Yue!"
An orc picked up a stick, mixed with the strong wind, and smashed it fiercely.
At this distance, unable to complete the spell, Mu Yun raised his left hand, and two small fire bombs hit the half-orc in the face. The half-orc covered his eyes and retreated with a miserable howl, and Mu Yun drew his musket with his right hand.
Bang!
Dense steel needles sprayed out, knocking the orcs to the ground on the spot.
The orc was hit hard and struggled to stand up, Mu Yun completed a spell, and a vine came out and strangled his neck tightly. The half-beasts were infinitely large, tore the vines, and immediately stood up and pounced head-on.
Mu Yun chanted a spell on the control talisman, and the ghost face on the ground stood upright, and an ice blade instantly cut off the head of the orc. The headless corpse of the half-orc still pounced on Mu Yun, causing Mu Yun to fall to the ground.
The control charm is dropped aside.
Mu Yun was pressed and couldn't reach it, and before he could push the corpse away, two half-orcs found Mu Yun and ran over with a cruel smile.
"Oops!"
A moment in the making.
Suddenly!
An orc convulsed and screamed loudly, his whole body scorched black and smoking, as if he had been struck by high-voltage electricity, and instantly collapsed to the ground, behind him was a smaller girl, holding an electric spear in her hand. The other orc didn't know what was going on, when suddenly the ground shattered, and vines shot out, wrapping around his hands.
Ying'er closed her eyes and rushed over shouting.
Hold your hands in the way.
The spearhead pierced the flesh, and the residual electricity was released, and the orc screamed, losing consciousness on the spot. Qin Yue took the opportunity to pull Mu Yun up, Ying'er pulled out her spear, looked at the half-orc who was twitching all over, smelled a disgusting and burning smell, her stomach was tumbling, and she almost vomited.
Mu Yun took Ying'er's hand, "Well done!"
Ying'er was frightened, her hands and feet were trembling, "...... them Are they dead?"
Qin Yue scolded: "You deserve it!"
Ying'er was very scared, and when she saw Mu Yun's face covered with blood, she was even more startled, "Why is there so much blood young master?"
Mu Yun wiped his face and said, "Don't worry, it's all half-orc blood!"
Meng Hu rushed over and slashed down four or five half-orcs in a row, "You can't stay here, go, I'll cover you to leave!"
Qin Yue said unwillingly: "What about our ore!"
"Wait until the orcs leave!"
"Mithril Ore is no different from stone to orcs, they won't be interested!"
Meng Hu was born with divine power, rich combat experience, and the strength of a quasi-great martial artist, ordinary half-orcs couldn't stop it at all, and they cut down seven or eight half-orcs in a row, and in the cover of the ghost face, they finally fought their way out in the chaos, and took Mu Yun and the others out first.
The canyon is very big!
As long as they are out of the battle area, the orcs can't chase and kill anyone in the dark, besides, the goal of the orcs is to seize food and living resources, and they won't deliberately lock on to humans for pursuit.
"Keep running!"
A few people ran for twenty minutes, if it weren't for Mu Yun's three people, all of them had been baptized and their physique had become very strong, and I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to keep up with the speed at all. At this time, several people had already left the battle area, and there was no half-orc activity, and the vicinity was temporarily safe.
The sky grew brighter.
"Take a break!"
Meng Hu looked back at the gloomy canyon covered with morning fog, his expression became very solemn, after the orcs called, everyone was fleeing, I don't know what the casualties were, how many people managed to escape.
Mu Yun sat on the stone, drank a little water, and wiped his face clean.
"Someone is secretly dealing with us!"
"Who the hell is it?"
Mu Yun was also not sure, "These people can attack ships in the south, and they can plan a half-orc rebellion, and they are very precise in seizing the timing, I think they are the ones who have power in the north and south of the Luohan Mountain Range...... Could it be Akatsuki?"
"It's Akatsuki again!" Qin Yue clenched her fists, her plump chest surged, and said angrily: "This was originally a perfect plan, but now it's all messed up!"
Mu Yun didn't speak.
Although he drove away Sun Zhengdao, Akatsuki was obviously paying attention to himself, and Mu Yun didn't know how many people Akatsuki had and how much energy he had, so it was difficult to predict what they would do.
"Let's go. ”
It's not very safe here, and a few people have to move on after less than a minute's rest.
Suddenly.
Two figures suddenly appeared in front of them, although they could not be seen clearly through the morning mist, they were enough to identify from their size, these two people were not orcs, they should be humans. Meng Hu thought it was the other people who had evacuated here, and immediately wanted to walk over.
"Wait!"
Mu Yun sensed that something was wrong, and immediately stopped Meng Hu, while staring at the front with a solemn expression, and suddenly threw a lighting ball.
An eerie sneer came.
Meng Hu's expression changed greatly: "What person!"
Two people appeared in the field of vision, one was wearing a warlock robe, about fifty or sixty years old, with a gloomy expression - Sun Zhengdao!
Grand Sorcerer!
Meng Hu immediately became vigilant.
The other man, with gray hair, wears a half-face mask, dark red scale armor, leather boots, leather gloves, and a long knife hanging from his waist. This person is none other than the Akatsuki powerhouse who claims to be a cloud hunter.
Mu Yun keenly discovered that Sun Zhengdao was still bowing his head in front of the mysterious man, could it be that this person's strength ......
"Finally seeing you...... Mu Yun!"
"Do we know each other?"
The mysterious man sneered, but did not speak, his pupils were like snakes, slender and weird, blooming with cold light, and he slowly pulled out the knife at his waist with his right hand.
Sun Zhengdao took a step forward, and the staff lightly tapped the ground, and a stream of energy spread out, causing the nearby rocks to shatter one after another, "These guys, I'll deal with them." ”
Lie Yun said in a subordinate tone: "Stand down!"
The corners of Sun Zhengdao's mouth twitched.
"Stand down!" Lie Yun repeated and pointed at Mu Yun with a blade: "Don't meddle!"
A trace of strong dissatisfaction flashed in Sun Zhengdao's eyes, he was an apostle of Akatsuki, and Lieyun was also an apostle, the two should be of the same rank, but Lieyun always pointed fingers at him with an attitude towards his subordinates. It's just that Lieyun is really powerful, and he is ruthless, and Sun Zhengdao doesn't dare to disobey easily.
"Yes!"
Sun Zhengdao retreated.
