Chapter 43: Recovering Oka Village (1)
Although it was noon, the sky was still dark, and the icy wind was raging on the lakeside camp, and the lake was rolling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Marquis Will pinched the lining under the armor, which Lan Xi had sewn from animal hair mixed with a small amount of cotton, which was light and thick and had an excellent warmth effect.
She can be regarded as having a heart, much stronger than those women before, Marquis Will nodded when he thought of this.
"Report to Lord Marquis, Lenny is back, and is waiting outside the account. A Yi Cong said outside the military tent.
"Let him in. ”
Lenny bowed when he entered the tent, and immediately took a letter from his bosom and gave it to Will, and then said:
"Lenny has been fortunate to be there to fulfill his mission, and the Archon has agreed to hand over the power of agency to you, and has sent an envoy to the Imperial City to report to His Royal Highness the Third Prince......"
Marquis Will listened to Lanny's report calmly, and asked a few questions from time to time.
"The Archon wants you to invest five hundred gold coins in the shares, he said that the children of the nobles in the other city-states have invested in this way, and promised to give you ten percent of the sales share in the Kurgea city-state, please consider giving him an answer as soon as possible. Lenny concluded.
"Five hundred gold coins, ten percent ......," Marquis Will calculated. Five hundred gold coins is not a small amount, enough for his army to eat and drink for a year, which is more than enough.
Marquis Will waved his hand, he didn't like to be disturbed when he thought about the problem, but when he saw Lenny's hesitant look to have something to say, he asked:
"Is there anything else you can do?"
"That's right," Lenny immediately smiled apologetically, and said, "I talked to Sawyer once before I left, and I just heard that he has joined the army...... I wonder if the adults are happy with him?"
"That's it, I know. Marquis Will looked at him with a smile, and then said, "Come with me." ”
Lenny followed with trepidation, not knowing what Marquis Will was going to do when he walked out of the camp, he usually did not leave the camp.
It didn't take long for Marquis Will to arrive at the battlefield, and Lenny saw several teams of sergeants carrying the spoils of war heading back, and Sawyer was among them, carrying a beast corpse, blood and water sticking to the armor.
As soon as Marquis Will waved his hand, several teams of sergeants immediately stopped and saluted, and after nodding, Will said, "Sawyer, you come here, and Lanny, you also come." ”
Lenny walked up to him with a puzzled face, but Sawyer was only surprised for a moment, then smiled excitedly, walked up to Will and put the beast corpse on his shoulder, and then knelt on one knee.
Lenny finally figured it out at this time, and quickly knelt down to look at Will.
Marquis Will first said: "Sawyer, after a month of observation, I am very satisfied with your performance, and the sergeants have recognized your bravery, and now, I will preside over the promotion of knight for you, are you willing?"
Sawyer nodded heavily and said, "Yes, it's my honor." ”
Will nodded and looked at Lenny again, and said: "Lenny, although your combat strength is not high and you still need to be honed, but you are diligent and very safe, and you have a good reputation among the sergeants and popularity, and today I am also going to preside over the promotion of knight for you, are you willing?"
Lanny nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's my honor." ”
Will drew his long sword and slapped it three times on the left and right shoulders and heads of the two of them, and Sawyer and Lenny also put their right fists on their left chests, chanting the knightly code with Marquis Will:
"We are humble! We are glorious! We are not afraid of sacrifice! Bravely kill the enemy! Have mercy on the weak! Spread the faith! Be honest and sincere! Uphold justice! We are the great knights of the Glorious Continent who are respected by everyone!"
......
Meanwhile, Ota left the camp alone and walked towards the village of Oka in the cold wind.
On the protective wall, Lord Xia Rui and the instructor fortress stood quietly, and after seeing Ota's figure disappear completely, Xia Rui said:
"Order the sergeant to transport the prepared stumps to the predetermined location, and set off tomorrow morning for the third watch and the fourth watch...... Let's hope there are no surprises in Otta. ”
The instructor nodded sympathetically and went to inform him, and after a short time, the wagons pulled the stumps out of the city from the guard barracks. Groups of sergeants, carrying or carrying auxiliary materials for the construction of the camp, set off towards the predetermined location.
Because of the limited manpower, they have to send these things to a designated place near Oka Village in advance, where the orcs have long been wiped out, and some simple defensive measures have been arranged in advance, these materials are stacked there safely, and once they capture Oka Village, they can be transported to build a camp as quickly as possible.
With his familiarity with the place, and careful detouring against the wind, Ota finally reached the woods behind the village when it was dark, where the orc leader had once lived.
Ota hid behind a tree, slightly mobilized the white light in his body and listened, and suddenly, the voice in his ears became clearer. The sound of the wind was extremely sharp, and the sound of the branches and leaves shaking was particularly loud, and the orcs who hid in the forest to take shelter from the wind and rest, their snoring was clearly heard by Orta.
Ota carefully distinguished, because the forest was not big and used to be the habitat of the orc leader, so the number of orcs hiding in it was not much, only six or seven.
Ota hid behind a tree and checked it, only to see that he was wearing leather armor and leather boots at this time, dressed lightly, because he was worried that the sound of the collision of armor pieces would disturb the orcs when he walked in iron armor, so Ota insisted on wearing only leather armor before leaving.
Orta took a leather pouch from his waist, poured out the herb juice and smeared it on his body, and immediately, a green man appeared in his place.
There were also bags on each side of his waist, and he took out two things from them, and on closer inspection, they were two iron gloves with barbs on the fingertips and palms of his hands, which were specially used to climb trees.
Ota thought of this link a few days ago, so he studied it with Leo and made it, although it was simple but very practical, and after making it a few days ago, Ota tried it out, and the effect was good.
After putting on the iron gloves, Orta's two hands pressed into the tree, and the barb easily plunged into the trunk, and he did not see any movement from the next, but he climbed up with his two hands in turn, and did not move at all, but climbed up in an instant with his powerful arms.
After spotting a thick branch under the canopy, Orta stood on it, and then looked at the ground in the woods, the orcs were sleeping without realizing it, due to the cold weather, several orcs were still very close, but they were all in the center of the forest, and there was still a hundred meters away from here.
Ota spotted the nearest branch, and after a flash of white light, Ota jumped over it, and the branch only shook a few times, as if it had been blown by the wind.
In this way, with his extraordinary vision and dexterity, it took him more than an hour in the dark forest to reach the top of the heads of several orcs, and he stood on the branches of the trees and slowly put away the iron gloves and looked at them, calculating the distance and the speed of the sword, as well as the speed and posture of the orcs when he jumped between them.
After more than twenty minutes, Ota determined that there were no other orcs in the forest, and repeatedly calculated several possibilities, and when he was sure that it was correct, he slowly drew out two great swords.
In order to make sure that there was no sound, Ota specially made wooden sheaths for the two large swords before setting off, and then crossed them on his back.
With the big sword in his hand, Ota's gaze suddenly turned cold, and he jumped down.
"Brush"
The moment Ota landed on the ground, two great swords slashed at the necks of the two orcs, and at this moment, the extremely sharp dark iron greatsword bloomed with its due brilliance.
Just like slicing into tofu, the greatsword effortlessly cut off two heads, and of course, Ota's strength was also the key.
When the two heads were separated from the beast corpse, Ota had just landed, and the next moment, with a twist of the two wrists, the great sword stabbed out one after the other.
"Puff"
Two extremely slight sounds came out almost at the same time, and I saw that the great sword had pierced into the throats of the two orcs in front and behind, and with a flick of the wrist, the entire throat was immediately completely torn, and a fountain of blood gushed out, but it was impossible to shout.
The orc in front of Ota didn't look at it at all, but the Ota behind him didn't look at it at all, just stabbed at the same time with the angle calculated before, and after he landed, the orc would definitely turn over immediately when he was frightened, as long as there was a slight deviation, the orc would roar, and this trip would naturally be a failure.
But Ota is a master of art, after more than three months of life and death training on the battlefield, Ota has long been familiar with these predictions, coupled with the assistance of the white light in his body, his perception is more sensitive, so he is more confident.
In the blink of an eye, Orta had killed four orcs, and the other three leaped to their feet, opening their mouths to howl.
I saw that Ota's two-handed sword suddenly bloomed black, and then dragged two black mangs to the left and right flashed, and Ota seemed to be extremely relieved, not paying attention to them at all, but touching his leg, and then another black mangs flew out and stabbed straight at the last orc.
"Uhhhhhh
A small howl suddenly sounded in the forest, and then it immediately fell silent, but fortunately, as soon as the sound sounded, the orc was pierced through the throat by Ota's iron spirit dagger, and the forest was windy, so it shouldn't have spread far.
Ota was also in a cold sweat, if it was a second late, the orc might have other actions while roaring, and at that time, it was very likely that it would not be able to kill it instantly, fortunately, there was no major mistake in the calculation, except for the roar that just came out of his throat, the first step of the sneak attack plan could be said to be almost perfect.
