Ruined by steppe orcs!?

After coming down from the watchtower, after questioning Daddy Chuck, Ziggy learned that Grizzly Village was not actually the northernmost village. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Further north, there are actually many villages and towns, and even two or three castles, but they are all gradually abandoned due to the raids and raids of the steppe orcs, and in the words of Daddy Chuck, "Maybe in a dozen years, Grizzly Village will be abandoned."

"That'...... What about the villagers in those villages?" Ziggy asked cautiously, in fact, Zige's real thoughts were not to care about the whereabouts of the villagers, when he was in the imperial capital, whether in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, or in the official news, he had never heard of the destruction of the villages in the northern frontier.

If even two or three cities are destroyed and hundreds of villages and towns are deserted, then the so-called prosperity in front of the Holy Odin Empire can only be hehe.

"Some were captured, some escaped and don't know where they went. Daddy Chuck replied gloomily.

At this time, Finn, the blacksmith who was in charge of reinforcing the watchtower, came over, quietly pulled Ziggy's sleeve, and whispered to Zig in Zigge's ear: "Don't ask, Belinda has a sister who married to Beihe Village, and there has been no news since Beihe Village was barren." ”

Forehead...... Belinda's sister, isn't she also the daughter of Daddy Chuck?

Ziggy was so shocked by the news that he didn't know what to say, such a thing happened around him, and the suffering of the villagers of Grizzly Village was not only as simple as poverty and hunger, but also the worry of their relatives whose fate was unknown......

......

Several times Ziggy took the initiative to climb the watchtower to lookout, hoping to see what the villagers called the ferocious steppe orcs like, but all he saw was a barren bush.

Approaching winter, it began to snow in the north, the salmon river was turbulent, and it had not yet frozen, Siegso and Jack the Archer ran to the salmon river to fish, but there were only aquatic plants in the river and no fish and shrimp, even if there were, they were all small fish and shrimp, and some big fish had long been caught by the villagers, so Zig and their fishing could only be regarded as a ticket nature.

I really have nothing to do but read books, he has two books on him, one is "Odin Continent Travel", is a bard's life diary, about what this bard named Mark saw and heard when he traveled around the Odin continent, about the heroine of the Holy Sword Pass and the so-called "Dawn of the Dawn of the Battle", Ziggy saw it from this book.

The other is "General History of the Empire", which tells the story of what has happened in the last fifty years since the creation of the Holy Odin Empire.

Through the descriptions of these two books, Ziggy roughly understood the general appearance of this Odin continent, although there are orcs, dwarves, elves, goblins and other races on the Odin continent, as well as magical beasts, dragons, mages and other legendary things, but it is not a different world that can overturn the river and the sea with the power of one person.

Dragons can breathe fire, but weapons like bed crossbows can shoot through their scales.

Although mages can cast spells, they can only cast spells with the help of magic circles, magic crystals and alchemy, and the so-called dragons are more like high-level magical beasts, and the number of mages is even smaller.

Knights and soldiers can practice fighting skills and fighting qi, but cultivating fighting qi can not fight through the sky, the fighting qi here is more like the existence of qigong, knights and soldiers who have cultivated fighting qi can significantly increase their speed and strength.

Overall, this is not a high-martial world.

Time flies, and when the first snow falls in early winter, the steppe orcs finally appear.

......

The trail of the steppe orcs was not spotted by Ziggy, although he climbed the watchtower the most.

It was Jack the Archer who found the orcs of the steppe, and on this morning, Jack the Archer climbed the watchtower, in fact, to see if there were any signs of animals, because it had just snowed the day before, and the thin snow covered the vast northern land, and all the ground and plants were dyed white.

This is the time when it is easiest to spot animals, because the ground is white, and once an animal walks over, the white ground will leave black traces, which are very obvious in the white snow.

Jack is an archer and has better eyesight than ordinary people, he climbed the watchtower to observe these tracks, so that he can hunt, although there are not many soldiers in Zig's group of guards, but they can still deal with ordinary monsters.

In fact, when Jack the archer found the orc, Ziggy was on the watchtower, but he didn't have as good eyesight as Jack, so he didn't see it.

I saw that in the deserted village in the distance, there was something faintly moving, following Jack's guidance, Zige's eyes were about to bleed, only to see a few orc-like creatures coming out of the abandoned village of Beihe Village, because the distance was too far, Zig saw that those steppe orcs were just a few small black dots at a small point, but he couldn't see what those orcs looked like.

"Jack, you go down first, inform the villagers to evacuate first, I'll take a look here first. Ziggy sent Jack the archer back to Grizzly Village, intending to observe the orcs from the watchtower for a while.

"Okay!" Hearing Ziggy's command, Jack climbed down the watchtower, untied the gong tied to the wooden frame at the bottom of the watchtower, and ran to the village with the gong struck, the watchtower was some distance from Grizzly Village, and Ziggy watched Jack run for a long distance before running into the village.

"The orcs are coming, the orcs are coming!" as soon as Jack entered the village, he opened his throat and shouted, and soon, the whole village was alarmed, every time Jack ran past a villager's house, a villager leaned out of the door to see what was going on, and as soon as he heard Jack's shout, he immediately didn't even have time to close the door, and returned to his house with a burst of chickens and dogs.

The orcs are coming, and this thing that makes them nervous happens several times a year, especially the last time they were touched into the village by the steppe orcs and almost killed someone, which made the villagers of Grizzly Bear Village very nervous, and the villagers immediately began to skillfully pack up all the utensils in their homes after receiving the warning.

From time to time, someone called Jack and asked where the orcs were, and when Jack told them that the orcs had just come out of the abandoned Beihe village on the other bank, the villagers packed up their things more comprehensively, unlike before, it was the steppe orcs who began to cross the river before they found the orcs, and they could only flee for their lives without doing anything.

While Jake informs the villagers of Grizzly Village, Ziggy is still watching the orcs from the watchtower.

Eight minotaurs, one wolf knight.

"I don't know how many wolf cavalry there are in the steppe. "In ancient China, no matter which dynasty was threatened by the northern steppe peoples, powerful as the Han and Tang dynasties, unlucky as the Western Jin Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, even the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after entering the Central Plains, they always faced the threat from the northern grasslands.

Ziggy couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw the famous orc class like the wolf cavalry again.

After the last steppe orc attack, it was obvious to Ziggy that the wolf cavalry had an extremely powerful advantage, and unless facing the group charge of the hoplites, it would be difficult for any class to fight against the wolf cavalry alone.

If these steppe orcs are all werewolves, if the wolf cavalry on the steppe goes south like the steppe peoples in ancient China, will the Holy Odin Empire be able to stop it?

Fortunately, the steppe wolf cavalry does not seem to pay attention to armor protection, which is also a common problem of the barbarian race, always like to show their muscles to show how strong they are, and if there is a city wall to block it, crossbowmen and other classes can also cause some damage to them.

This vast grassland in the north of the Holy Odin Empire is called the Blue Star Grassland by the humans of the Odin Empire.

The blue star grassland is rich in aquatic plants, and there is a blue star grass that is very suitable for cattle, sheep and horses to eat, the blue star grass can produce a small blue flower in summer, only the size of a fingernail, if there is only one small blue flower the size of this fingernail is nothing, just an ordinary wildflower.

But thousands of blue star grasses bloomed, and the scenery was like a sea of green, dotted with countless blue stars.

That scenery is known as the top ten beauties of the Odin continent in "Odin Continent Travels".

Perhaps it is the abundant water and grass and beautiful scenery of the Blue Star Grassland that have given birth to many orc races on the grassland, according to the description in "Odin's Journey to the Continent", the orcs on the grassland have many orc races in addition to the wolf orcs and minotaur orcs that Qige saw.

Ziggy guessed that perhaps it was precisely because of the large number of orc races that the orcs on the Blue Star Grassland could not be unified for a long time, and the humans in the real world were just different peoples formed by different living habits and beliefs, which was enough to make the various races that were also human beings kill rivers of blood and hatred like the sea, and the orc races were different, but I was afraid that it would be more difficult to achieve peace and unity.

I saw that the steppe wolf rode with a leather whip and commanded eight Minotaur orcs to prepare to cross the river, and their way of crossing the river was actually very primitive, that is, cutting down the trees by the river and tying them into a row and throwing them into the river.

Ziggy thought they were going to swim across the river on the buoyancy of the trees, but they weren't, the trees were for the wolf cavalry, who and his giant wolf stood on a raft of driftwood tied together, and the minotaurs carried the raft in the water.

"It seems that the wolf cavalry is relatively poor. Ziggy saw that it was the minotaur who was relatively tall, and asked the minotaur to cross the river along the shallower part of the river, and while the minotaur crossed the river, he crossed the river in groups of four with the two sides of the driftwood bundle and carried the wolf cavalry across the river.

The fifty-meter-wide salmon river is not wide, but it is not narrow, and this small group of steppe orcs carefully crossed the salmon river slowly, and it took about half an hour from launching to landing.

Grizzly Village is not as barren as those villages on the north bank, and it has a lot to do with this salmon river, and such a long way of crossing the river gives the villagers of Grizzly Village a lot of opportunities to spot the attacking steppe orcs.

It wasn't until eight minotaurs landed on the south bank of the Salmon River with a wolf cavalry that Ziggy climbed down from the watchtower and ran in the direction of Grizzly Village.
