Chapter 119: Embark on the Way Home

Thank you for the first monthly ticket of this book, thank you...... Uh, the update is not powerful, I'm embarrassed to ask for votes with you, I'm ashamed ......!

At midnight, the moon was dark, but the orcs were able to see at night, and with a sudden sneak attack from behind, they took advantage of it, and if they couldn't defeat the chaotic mercenaries, the Baroque would punish them severely.

Fortunately, Baroque did not disappoint, he hugged the sleeping Susan and covered her ears with a soft flannel cloth to prevent her from hearing the shouts of killing. Celine stood beside them, and they were on a small hillside in the distance, watching the battle in the camp below. After the initial rain of spear attacks, most of the mercenaries were killed and wounded, and in a panic, the orcs who pounced on them were holding huge battle axes and slaughtering them like chopping melons and vegetables, and there was almost no decent counterattack.

Barrotan and his six orcs, who knew how to fight with beasts, followed Baroque's orders, and in groups of three, they patrolled the warband, and after finding a few warriors with fighting spirit, they immediately pounced on them and beat them to death. As long as these mercenary leaders, who can inflict lethal damage on the orcs, die, the rest of the people will collapse completely.

Half an hour later, the battle ended. Most of the mercenaries were killed, but some fled into the mountains or dense forests. And the orcs also had more than a dozen dead and wounded, of course, all of them were those inferior orcs, and not even a single member of the Frostwolf clan was seriously injured. Even so, Baroque looked a little unsightly when he returned to camp with Susan and Celine in his arms. In his opinion, the sneak attack coupled with the strength is stronger than the mercenaries, and this battle should not have killed so many people at all.

It was no use to be angry, for the orcs were all excited, and seemed to be particularly excited about the victory. After thinking about it, I was relieved............ yes, the war between orcs and humans. has always been more defeated than victorious, even in the face of the most ordinary mercenaries, often can't take any advantage. I was able to kill more than 200 human mercenaries tonight. Isn't it worth rejoicing that only ten people have died?

Never mind. The Baroque will not have to reprimand them*, and it would be good to make them happy once! But there is still the cruel training that should be there next, so let this journey back to the northern tundra become a road of experience!

The camp was filled with blood, and it was impossible to stay. Anyway, the orcs couldn't sleep with excitement, so Baroque simply ordered to pack up and continue on his way. Those who escaped will definitely not be reconciled, they will definitely look for reinforcements. Keep attacking for revenge. It is conceivable that the next time the enemy chases after him will definitely not be a mess of mercenaries.

The corpses of the mercenaries were thrown in the field at random, and the orcs took advantage of the night to leave. Baroque rode on the back of the hunchon, holding Susan, who was sleeping in a daze, and Celine followed the orc's procession with his broad waist around his back.

Baroque was a little apologetic, this was just the beginning, Celine was weak and seemed to be a little overwhelmed. The face is slightly pale. On the back of the hunchback, Baroque said softly: "Celine, I'm sorry ......!"

Celine knew the meaning of Baroque's words. Putting his face on Baroque's back, after a while, he said softly, "It's okay, I already knew that the road would be difficult." Don't think I'm so weak, I can persevere. It's just that...... I was just...... Baroque, can you please stop killing so many people? They are my kindred, and they are my kindred, although they have malicious intentions...... I don't want to see you slaughter them, I really don't want to see ....... ”

Soft sobs came from behind. Baroque shook his head, knowing that he was only interested in venting the orcs' hatred for humans. Ignoring Celine's feelings. "Celine, I have to! I am merciful to them. They will never show mercy to me. You should know that once my tribe is defeated and destroyed by humans, it will not be the orcs who will suffer the most tragic fate, but you and Susan, and those of your people will never have pity for you because you are human, they will treat you viciously and brutally, and I will have to eliminate all hidden dangers, otherwise it will be difficult for us to reach the northern tundra smoothly. ”...

"I know...... I know that I ...... I just had a hard time. Celine said in a choked voice.

Baroque was silent for a while, and suddenly took Celine's hand: "Celine, I promise you that I will try not to kill again." I will ask my people to speed up and stay as far away from the human settlements as possible, as long as they can be safe, albeit hard, in the wilderness. ”............

In the following days, Baroque did indeed take his people away from human towns. He sent more than a dozen clansmen as scouts to patrol the surroundings, ambushing and killing some of the stalker mercenaries behind him. And camp and rest during the day, and hurry at night. This immediately made the stalkers busy, and at night they could not rush as carelessly as the orcs, and often pulled down a long distance, so they could only use the orcs to rest during the day to chase after them, but they finally caught up, but it was also evening, and the orcs were going to continue their journey!

After hundreds of miles of travel in the Duchy of Dalintan, until the Baroque led his people to the northern border of the Duchy of Hanseas, although the human race regathered a large number of adventurers and mercenaries, even mixed with a small team of obviously elite soldiers, they could no longer find an opportunity to attack the orcs, and could only watch the orcs enter the neighboring country. Unless they wanted to provoke a war between the two countries, the Dalintans could only stop their pursuit at the border.

However, they will not let the orcs have a good time, and have already spread the news to the Duchy of Hanseas, so let the Hansa people clean up these damn orcs!

The people of Dalintan may be disappointed again, of course they will not know that the Baroque still has nearly a hundred sets of heavy armor of the Hansa cavalry, so that the tribesmen can replace all the armor of the Hansa cavalry, as long as they wear helmets, unless the armor is lifted, they will not know that this is a group of impostors.

Hiding the unarmored orcs in the middle, the orcs disguised as Hanseatic cavalry rode camels or war horses, and just swaggered across the borders of the Duchy of Hansea. Even if you encounter a Hansa along the way, no one will want to question an elite group of hoplites. -- In case these cavalrymen have urgent orders on them, if they recklessly ask for them, they will be killed and deserve to be killed.

In this way, a group of more than 100 heavily armed cavalry continued to cross the border, and people from villages and towns in remote areas along the way came to watch the excitement from afar, but no one questioned it. It was not until the news reached some large cities that the nobles who had access to official affairs looked at the records of the recent troop movements and found that no such heavy cavalry had been sent on any mission. Immediately feeling bad, he gathered his army to chase after him, but it was already a little late, and the team finally entered the territory of the Adria Empire. The Lufthansa people take it for granted...... Could it be that Audria's cavalry had some secret mission, but why did they dress up as Hansa in the heavy armor of the Duchy of Hansea?

Baroque would not know that it was his actions that made the Hansa suspicious of the Odrian Empire, and although they did not dare to express their dissatisfaction, the Grand Duke of the Hansa always felt as if he was taking the blame for the Odrians.

After entering the territory of the Adria Empire, the Baroque couldn't help but be cautious, this empire was not comparable to the Duchy of Hansa or the Duchy of Dalintan. This is a behemoth, not counting the royal guards and the private soldiers of the nobles, there are only ten of the most elite standing 10,000 legions, each of which can compete with a small country. It doesn't take much, just two hundred elite warriors can crush Baroque and his people.

Baroque was not careful, and even he prepared for the worst............ In all fairness, the inferior human nature of the Baroque soul prevailed at this moment, and he himself blushed for his selfishness...... As a last resort, Baroque would sacrifice the 100 inferior orcs and flee with only his own people. Of course, Celine and Susan are his women, and Baroque will never do anything to abandon his own woman, and if that is the case, Baroque would even rather die. ...

Proceeding cautiously, the trail was mountainous, forested, hilly, and undulating, and because of the beasts, they had to take a detour through a large western flat territory of Odria to reach the edge of the northern tundra. After walking like this for more than half a month, apart from the occasional encounter with some villages and towns or small caravans on the way, there was not a single army along the way, which puzzled Baroque. You must know that the area is not desolate, and there are four or five tall castles that pass through at night alone, not to mention the thriving little towns and villages.

It's a strange situation, and Baroque feels that it should be understood, but don't go ahead recklessly, and fall headlong into a trap and throw yourself into the net, which is too bad. When passing through a certain city again, Baroque and Celine enter it to find out .......

The news is easy to get, or there is no need to inquire at all. It turned out that some messy things had happened in the empire recently, which made the western province of Odrya really nervous. After the situation eased, the troops were transferred from the western provinces by His Majesty the Emperor Antony, and the army that came to replace them had not yet arrived, so this gap was formed.

After the Earl of Tipton was killed by him at Paddington, the news of his death came back to the Empire, and His Majesty the Emperor was almost mad and furious in the palace, so much so that he said something that should not be said, and Her Majesty the Queen came from the harem to comfort His Majesty, and happened to hear the Emperor lamenting the tragic death of his illegitimate son. Although Empress Josephine was not the kind of person who was jealous, in front of the ministers of the empire, the emperor's words still made her unbearable, and she immediately turned her face in anger and returned to the harem to make a fuss.

The emperor was already in a bad mood, and he had a falling out with the equally angry queen. In Audria, in addition to the royal family, the queen's family is definitely a big family that should not be underestimated, and even their family has controlled several provinces in the western part of the empire for generations. When the emperor was furious and said that he wanted to depose the empress, Josephine would never sit still and leave the palace overnight. She has a lot of authority in her own family, and no one dares to oppose her words. They soon returned to the western provinces of the empire, where two elite legions were under the control of the queen's family, and were transferred by Josephine to the provinces to face the borders of the imperial capital, as if they were about to split and become independent.
