Chapter Twenty-Seven: Still Fighting

The last rays of the sun set, and the canyon lit up with a little fire.

A Terran slave dragged his tired body back to the hut one after another.

The dilapidated wooden hut barely sheltered from the wind and rain, and a few rows of wooden planks rested on the stones on either side were considered beds, on which were placed a few tattered furs, which served as both cushions and quilts.

Because they never bathed, even the airy wooden house was filled with a sour smell, and there were nearly twenty slaves squeezed into the small wooden house, and there was no extra space after lying side by side.

Leaning on a wooden house in the innermost part of the canyon, the Terran slaves who returned one after another walked into the house numbly, and then threw their bodies directly on the wooden plank without raising their heads.

"You, who are you?" suddenly a slave exclaimed.

Hearing the screams, several Terran slaves who had been lying down before also rolled over and sat up.

Then they noticed a man sitting in the innermost corner of the plank.

It was a young man with black hair, a clean cloak, a ruddy complexion, and a faint smile on his face, obviously not belonging to their group.

"Be quiet, close the door. Arthur whispered.

Although these people were full of doubts, they still chose to close the door, and naturally separated two people to guard the door. The two men near the bed also secretly pulled out two sharp pieces of iron from under the wooden board as they sat up from the bed.

None of these small movements went away from Arthur's gaze. Arthur was very happy, glad that they had not completely lost the spirit of resistance.

"Who are you, and why are you here?" asked a long-faced man, who was also skinny, but with a slight sparkle in his eyes.

"I am the one who came to save you. ”

"You are a lackey of the orcs, and no one can sneak in without alerting them. The man's gaze sharpened, as if Arthur would pounce on him without hesitation as long as he answered a question.

Arthur smiled softly, "What value do you have in you that the orcs deliberately found a spy to trick your trust?"

The man was stunned for a moment, yes, except for a little strength and mining, his life and death have no value in the eyes of the orcs.

"Are you really here to save us?" the man's gaze turned from sharp to confused, and his voice trembled a little with excitement.

"Arthur Shirlo, Squadron Leader of the Former Hugh Infantry Regiment of the Blizzard Legion. ”

"Are you from the Hugh Infantry Regiment?" and Deputy Commander Ignat Woods are all right?" asked a baby-faced man who looked a few years older than Arthur.

Arthur scratched his head in embarrassment, "I didn't have long to be in the regiment to catch up with this war, I don't know that the deputy regiment commander you mentioned, in addition to Captain Hugg and his lieutenant Nick, has also seen a redbeard." ”

"He knows Redbeard, and Redbeard's name is Ignor Woods, and he's one of his own! Someone has come to save us at last!" the baby-faced man cried as he pointed at Arthur.

Not only him, but almost all the men in the room cried, saying something about a tough guy and a strong man, and at that moment the emotions were irrepressibly cathartic.

Arthur's eyes were already rosy, and he knew it was worth the risk this time, no matter how much he had, because he gave the men hope.

The long-faced man was the first to wipe away his tears, "Don't cry, don't lure the orcs?"

"Captain Arthur, how many of you came, and how did you break through the orc blockade and find here?"

"Outside the canyon, there is a battalion of our infantry regiment, and we broke through the orc defense line in this war between the two tribes, and found this place by mistake. Arthur lied, deliberately exaggerating the number tenfold, fearing that he would completely lose confidence if he said that there was only one squadron outside.

The situation was as Arthur expected, and when the long-faced man listened to Arthur's words, his brows immediately furrowed, "It's really a bit difficult for a battalion of troops to get in. ”

"That's why I came in advance, knowing the number of orcs and your situation, if you can meet the inside and outside, when the time comes, both sides will start at the same time, and the hope of rushing out will be very great. Arthur's gaze slowly swept over the faces of the men around him.

Their reaction will affect Arthur's next decision, and if these people are scared and lose the courage to fight the orcs, Arthur will not hesitate to give up this rescue. Because they are the key to the next battle, only one of their own squadrons outside the canyon will not be able to deal with so many orcs in the canyon under any circumstances.

"Captain Arthur, we can still fight!" the baby-faced man was the first to step up.

"We'll wait for this day, as long as we do it outside, we'll fight with the orcs!" The men around them rushed to express their attitudes one by one, they were more anxious than Arthur, for fear that Arthur would think that the strength of the orcs was too strong, and these people would be a burden and give up saving them.

Arthur's gaze finally fell on the long-faced man, who was the leader of the bunch.

"We still have five or six hundred people here, and the two sides agreed to signal at the same time, and we are sure to hold back 100 orcs. The man said solemnly.

Arthur raised an eyebrow, "Be more detailed." ”

"The orcs have kept us in a semi-starved state in order to prevent us from resisting and escaping, and our current combat strength is not even a third of what it used to be. But we also secretly made some preparations, and stored some food in the mine below, as long as we were given a day or two to recover our strength and fighting spirit, we were sure that three or five people would drag an orc. The man spoke slowly, but very clearly, and he was no ordinary member of the army before he was captured.

Arthur nodded, and with a flick of his wrist, a small pile of meat and a large bucket of water appeared in front of everyone, "Can these things help you recover faster?" ”

There was a sound of swallowing saliva all around, and they didn't know how long it had been since they had eaten meat.

"Eat, replenish and recover your strength as soon as possible, and then I'll take you out with you. ”

While the people around him were reaching for food, the long-faced man kept staring at Arthur's wrist, "Space Bracelet?

Arthur held up three fingers, "That's enough food for everyone here to consume for three days." ”

The long-faced man smiled for the first time, "If we can eat enough for two days, we can kill half of the orcs here with our hatred for these orcs." ”

The baby-faced man muttered as he stuffed meat into his mouth, "If you give me a sword, I'll go out and fight these beasts right now, this is not a human day, and I don't want to spend a day." ”

A cold light flashed, and a sharp third-level long sword appeared in front of his eyes.

Babyface grabbed the hilt of the sword without caring about swallowing the meat in his mouth, his hand trembled excitedly, he didn't expect that one day he would be able to hold it again, the soldier has the courage to have a sword in his hand!

Pieces of second- and third-level equipment appeared in front of everyone's eyes, not only weapons but also armor and shields. The Seventh Squadron has swept through the orc camp these days and seized a large number of sophisticated orc weapons and equipment, and Arthur brought it in this time.

Arthur smiled and looked at the long-faced man who was rubbing a third-level sword like a baby, "How many orcs can you kill now?"

The long-faced man laughed loudly and almost got out of shape, "This time Lao Tzu is going to slaughter them all!"

"What are you shouting, you want to die?" suddenly the door was slammed open from the outside......
