Ryan and Alendor lurked outside the Beast Blood Fortress for three days, during which Ryan and Alendor experienced their most dangerous time.The army of more than 800,000 people was less than three kilometers away from them, and even the army of the orcs who went out of the city every day to practice walked through them in a neat line more than 100 meters away. A man walking past him might not have attracted attention at all, but ten thousand hostile soldiers walked past him, and the vibration of the earth alone was enough to break people.

Ryan and Alendor didn't know how they had managed to persevere, they barely closed their eyes or even had the mood to eat for three days, they lay almost motionless in the hollow where they were hiding, and only crawled out a little at night to get some air. In the hinterland of the enemy, once the whereabouts are exposed, it is impossible to escape, and in Lane's hands, there is no scroll of the "Gate of Time and Space".

On the night of the third day, Ryan and Alendor could no longer bear such tremendous pressure, so they took advantage of the darkness of the night to retreat quietly to the south, and they only breathed a long sigh of relief after leaving the Beast Blood Castle for almost ten kilometers. The past three days have been peaceful, but Ryan and Alendor know that they have had the biggest adventure since they met. Even in the face of a terrible lich, Ryan can fight, but in the face of hundreds of thousands of orc troops, unless Ryan has mastered the extremely powerful forbidden spell magic and has enough time to prepare for casting spells, there is no possibility of victory at all.

Ryan and Allendo realized how powerful Fernando I and his army were to drive the orcs out of the South Tallém savannah, which was indeed a remarkable thing. As for the coalition of the Holy Alliance facing tens of millions of undead legions in Sunrise City, Ryan couldn't imagine what a terrible scene it was, the orc army was only a few hundred thousand, and the momentum of oppression was enough to make people collapse, if he faced tens of millions of enemy troops, Ryan felt that he could stand up straight and be called a warrior.

The orcs pursued them for more than ten days, but they failed to find the whereabouts of Ryan and Allendo, and Caspar, who had rushed to the Beast Blood Castle, was not heard from after leaving, and was later found where they camped and left some traces, some nameplates that can prove the identity of Caspar and his wolf cavalry, which shows that Caspar was attacked on the way to the Beast Blood Castle and was completely wiped out.

Those orcs couldn't find any trace of Ryan and Allendo, so they used the stupidest and most effective method, deliberately set up camps on the route back to Thor's Fortress, and left only a few old, weak, sick and disabled guards, but they didn't expect that after Ryan and Allendo saw the lineup of the orc army in the Beast Blood Castle, they didn't want to have more rights and wrongs, and adopted the method of resting during the day and hurrying at night, bypassing these camps. As a result, the traps carefully arranged by the orcs were so easy for Ryan and Allendo to dodge.

Anyway, twenty-seven days after Ryan and Elendor left Thor's Fortress, they finally arrived safely. Since they had not bathed or changed their clothes in the steppe for a whole month, everyone was so depressed that the defenders of Thor's fortress barely recognized them. This is not to blame them, the other mercenary groups that are more numerous than them and stronger than them have already announced that they have given up their tasks, and the mercenaries who can return have all returned to Thor Fortress more than half a month ago, who would have thought that this newly established Lane mercenary group that has only been established for a few months has held on the grassland for so long, even if they find a random place to dig a pit and lie in it to sleep, it is worthy of the respect of others. Being able to survive for more than a month in an area where orc scouts frequently train is also a very powerful skill.

Ignoring the dust off Ryan's body, Franner hugged him. For the past twenty days, Franner has been so frightened of them that in order to see Ryan and Elendor return as soon as possible, Franner even went to the city wall at dawn to look north, and did not leave until it was completely dark. Time passed, and Franner's heart was getting colder day by day, and just when he was about to despair, Ryan and Allendo appeared intact in front of his eyes, what could make Franna happier than this?

Ryan and Alendor sat leisurely in the large wooden barrels, enjoying the steaming hot water soak, and it was a pleasure to be able to take such a hot bath after a month of intense scouting. Franner sat on a nearby wooden table, munching on the fragrant barbecue and cursing Ryan and Alendor in muffled voices.

Ryan was secretly amused in his heart, and at the same time happy to have such a good friend, he could see that Franna really cared about himself, and from his gobbling up appearance, he knew that in the days when he and Alendor left, Franna was not doing well, I am afraid that the pressure in Franner's heart was no easier than that of himself and Allendo facing the orc army.

Franna finished eating the food in his hand, wiped his hands on his chest casually, and then yelled at Ryan, who leaned his head on the barrel and relaxed, letting his body float slightly in the water, enjoying the soft pleasure of his whole body, and didn't listen to Flanner's words at all.

Franner scolded for a long time, seeing that Ryan didn't care at all, so he stopped, he took out a quill and a sheepskin from his storage pocket, and then sat down at the table upright, put on a posture of an inquisitor and said: "Ryan, tell me everything you have seen and heard this month, and I will sort it out so that I can hand it over to the Mercenary Guild." ”

Ryan stretched and got up from the barrel, took a clean linen towel, dried himself, and put on his clothes. Allendo did the same, but Xiaobai, who was soaking in the barrel with him, seemed to enjoy the hot bath, and kept wagging his tail and refused to come out.

Ryan put on his magician's robes, pulled over a stool, sat down beside Flanna, and told everything he and Alendor had seen and heard on the savannah of North Tallen, without exaggerating or embellishing it in his favor. Alendor was wiping Xiaobai's body while listening to it, and helped Ryan replenish it from time to time.

About an hour later, Ryan finished telling everything he and Allendo had experienced, but Flanner was dumbfounded, and sneaked less than three kilometers outside the Beast Blood Fortress to face hundreds of thousands of orc troops? Attacked the orc camp many times, and killed at least a hundred orc wolf cavalry? These deeds are too unbelievable, right, what those elite scouts in Thor's fortress can't do, Ryan and Allendo actually did.

In fact, Flanna didn't know that Ryan and Elendor were able to go deep into the Beast Blood Castle because it all relied on luck. The orc army was tightly sealed, and if Ryan and they went directly to the north at the beginning, they would inevitably run into the wolf cavalry of the orcs, but Ryan and they just made a detour and used enough patience to understand the situation of the orc patrol, so they bypassed.

Whether it was a sneak attack on the orc camp or infiltrating the outside of the Beast Blood Castle, it was all because they had no clear purpose, and they made temporary decisions based entirely on Ryan's rudimentary military knowledge. When they attacked the orc camp, the orcs thought that the purpose of these mercenaries was to infiltrate the beast blood castle to find out the news, so they were not vigilant enough about the security of the camp, and were succeeded by Ryan and Alendor.

When Ryan and Alendor infiltrated outside the Beast Blood Castle, the orc wolf cavalry thought that their purpose was to attack the blockade line arranged by the orcs, so they laid many traps and hid the main force near the camp and waited for Ryan and them to attack, which naturally had no effect. Instead, it made it easier for Ryan and Allendo to return to Thor's Fortress.

Of course, no one knew about these things, whether it was Ryan or the orc wolf cavalry. But in any case, Ryan and Allendo have found a lot of important news and brought back some evidence, which should be regarded as fulfilling the requirements of the Thor Fortress garrison, right?

Flanner finished sorting out the information, rolled up the parchment, and put the iron battle axes that Ryan had brought back into his storage pocket, lifted the tent curtain and walked out. Ryan and Alendor returned to their lodgings on their own, collapsed on the felt, and fell asleep.

An hour later, this information and the iron battle axes were in front of General Kisster, the leader of the Thor Fortress garrison.

General Kissunst looked through it hastily with half-belief, he didn't believe that with the strength of Ryan and Allendo, he could actually sneak into the outside of the Beast Blood Castle, didn't that mean that his scouts were idiots, and they were not as good as two young men who had just become mercenaries? As for those iron battle axes, General Kissunst looked at them carefully several times, it was completely a human casting process, with the backward smelting technology of the orcs, how could it be possible to refine such pure iron?

"General. Hans, the adjutant of General Kissernst, said with a look of disdain: "If you want me to say, this is simply something that two mercenaries who are crazy about money and want to make it on purpose." They found a safe place to hide for a while, then made up the story and bought a few weapons as evidence. It's ridiculous. ”

General Kissernst frowned as he listened to Hans's words, he thought for a moment, and said, "If this information is true, of course, only if, then the combat effectiveness of the orc army will far exceed our imagination." ”

"With all due respect, General. Hans said with a smile on his face: "Look at this information, the description of the orc army is vague, if those two guys really lurked outside the beast blood castle, how could they be written like this, and what kind of mental outlook, physical condition, this is simply written according to the appearance of our garrison in Thor's fortress." As for the large number of iron weapons, hehe, the god of war is above, is there a mine in the North Talon steppe? Is there coal to smelt iron? Where did the orcs get the technology? Hundreds of thousands of troops, that is, hundreds of thousands of weapons, even if they have raw materials, how long does it take to forge them? These weapons all fell from the sky, right?"

General Kissern listened to his adjutant's words, frowned again, and casually placed the parchment in the corner of the desk, at the bottom of a large pile of other documents.

"You go and send them away, just give a little reward, and don't discourage those mercenaries too much. In fact, these mercenaries can only run errands or something, but if they go to the battlefield, they have to rely on our own people. ”
