Section 55: Take the head of the host (b)

Some say that orcs are brave and can charge to the death in the face of strong enemies, others say that they are cowardly, they are always unable to hold out to the end in a fierce battle, and even the most powerful of them, their leader, often joins at the end of the battle or runs away first.

When two evenly matched orc tribes fight, once the battle is scorched, the leaders of both sides can resolve the conflict through a duel, and the defeated will lose everything, the tribe, the people, the power, the weapons, and of course, its life. However, when faced with armies of other races, orcs rarely use this rule, preferring to flee and look for their next chance to win. Occasionally, the leader of the orcs may play a little trick in a win-winning situation in order to have some rare fun, provided that the opposing duelist is clearly not his opponent.

Originally, Nesmail, who most of the powerful warriors went out, did meet the standards of interracial duels (strong and bullying the weak), and Gatskull also had this idea, but he understood that with the "cunning and despicable" of human beings, he would definitely not agree, and even if they really agreed, they would never obediently abide by the subsequent defeat agreement, and even possibly set up a conspiracy to calculate themselves, so that Gatskour would not be troublesome.

It's just that today's routine siege of the city had an accident, and the specially strengthened attacking team was driven down as soon as they climbed the city wall. Because of the distance, the Gat skull did not see what was happening on the city walls. It glared angrily at the poor worms lying beneath it, covered in blood (its own or that of its companions), breathless, and half frightened, and the gart didn't even bother to ask the cowardly escapees, the cowards, and the few of the escaped orcs were beheaded off by an angry man before they could open their mouths, and hung them on the top of the high leather tents for public display, and their corpses were turned into a small number of female orcs and baby orcs.

Seeing that it was still early, the Gatskull wanted to organize another attack, and its shamanic advisor seemed to have a few spell slots left that were useless, and the Gatskour didn't want the old guy to have an easy time. While the Gate Skull was still selecting men, he spotted a human with a green oak leaf banner coming to the orc tent.

In Phelon there is no such thing as "white flag", instead of the oak leaf symbol of Sivannas, in fact, Sivanus does not control the "peace" priesthood, the real god of peace is one of his two daughters - Edas (Sivannas's other daughter is the famous Queen of the Forest, Mericay), because Edas is not famous, people prefer to use the prestige of the powerful god of nature.

The Gatskull received the human envoy in his tent, and he sat on a tall animal bone seat, looking down with interest at the human who was trying to calm down with anxiety in his heart: "What is the matter with the short-toothed human being who has come to the tent of the great Gatskul?"

The messenger hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Brave and fearless Orc King, I am on the orders of Nesmail's Senator Tsali Ararini, on behalf of the warriors of our human race (who does not know that the one who may be fighting is actually a pure frost giant), to challenge you to settle this tragic dispute by duel. ”

"Duel?ha (Old Elven Gut: A mixture of specially fermented honey and elven flesh and blood, a favorite drink of the orcs), it took a sip, the sweet smell of patina fascinated the Gatsk, and it hoped that there would be enough elves in Nesmail to make wine for its wives.

Drinking the liquor from the glass, Gat Skull crumpled the wine vessel in his hand to pieces, and he decided to conduct an "open-air barbecue", the barbecue material was the human messenger, who wanted to warn and intimidate those hiding behind the city walls that the Gatskul would not be deceived by the tricks of the humans.

Tessari looked at the departing messenger with a complicated expression, it was one of her attendants, she knew that if the challenge could not be achieved, this attendant would inevitably die, and the thought of sending him to death with her own hands gave rise to an indelible guilt and uneasiness in her heart, and she could only pray that the Kathskull would agree to this duel, or give the messenger a dignified death. ,

Sure enough, the situation was still developing in the worst direction, and soon an orc herald dragged the oak leaf banner held by the previous messenger to the city, and very contemptuously threw the flag on the ground and stomped a few feet, if it were not for the fear of the arrows on the wall, this dutiful orc herald even wanted to pee on it.

And that was just the beginning, and what happened next was even more unbearable, the poor human messenger was brutally stripped naked by the orcs, tied naked to a thick scaffold, and beneath which were piled up like a mound of dry firewood. An experienced female orc (cooking food is the specialty of female orcs) carried a small bucket of weird sauce, carefully smeared all parts of the "ingredients" all over the body, and then she pulled out a slender branch and slapped it on the human body fiercely, a bright red blood mark suddenly stood out, and the poor guy couldn't help but let out a terrible inhuman scream, he was almost frightened crazy.

Under the whipping of the female orcs (according to experienced orcs, this can make the bloody taste of human flesh more fragrant and delicious), the human beings who are about to face a tragic fate scream hoarsely, desperate He has no ** for help, just a meaningless vent ** on the pain. The humans on the walls looked at their fellow sufferers, angry, sad, shocked, or indifferent, but the orcs guessed wrong, although these humans may be temporarily frightened, but their belief in defending their home is stronger, and no one wants themselves or their families to be the next to be put on the orc barbecue.

William, who was not far away, also noticed the change here, he walked to the battlement and glanced at the orcs: "Why, you are abusing the captives?" No matter who it is, it is an extremely outrageous thing for his comrades to be treated in person, unless these people are a group of perverts.

Asuna, who knew the temperament of the orcs, stepped forward and said to Tessari, "Aren't you going to do something to see your subordinates suffering like this?"

Yasuna, who felt a little bored with herself, pouted, turned back to William and said, "William, take the two children down, what is going to happen next is not a good thing, they will not be able to stand it." ”

"Huh?" William frowned and looked at the orcs swaggering outside the city, turned his head to look at the two little girls who were following Phinea's feet, and found that the little ones were indeed disturbed by the terrifying screams, "Trouble, even if you leave now, it's a little late, I'm really going to help that poor fellow get rid of it." ”

"In that case, wouldn't it be better to rescue them directly?"

William shook his head and said, "It's useless, that person has gone crazy, and it is more painful for him to live, and it is better to die than to die." ”

Yasuna pointed at Tessari and the others, "But they don't think so, according to my advice, if you want to do it, you can save people directly, or it's better to leave it alone," she said here She suddenly showed a wicked smile, "Of course, if you can watch your own kind being eaten and be indifferent." ”

"Divide the food, you mean they want to eat people?" William couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, for a person like him from a different world, the cannibalism of the intelligent race is indeed a very challenging behavior.

Yasuna smiled deliberately: "This kind of blood-living barbecue is a must among orcs, and it is said that the best female orcs can keep the heat of the blood in the prey until the end without coagulation",

William said coldly: "Enough, what do you want to say?"

Yasuna replied in a condensed voice: "William, you are the most mysterious human being I have ever met, cautious, calm, indifferent, with peerless force but no ambition commensurate with it, is there nothing you care about except to take care of Xiao Xiaosha? What is your purpose? Why do you exist? William, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young human is not what you are. ”

William's face couldn't help but be gloomy, he stared at Yasuna's eyes, and said indifferently, "So what?"

Yasuna sighed and said, "Don't you understand, it's your willingness to be ordinary that makes Sister Erasdra very uneasy, as expected, this time the person in Silvermoon City is indispensable." William, everyone has selfishness and **, a powerful existence but behaves very mediocre, then he must have greater plans. ”

Besides, I also did a few sensational things some time ago, how can I think that Lao Tzu is willing to be ordinary? ,

At this time, there was another change on the orc's side, Gatskull and several of his leaders appeared outside the orc camp, and the firewood under the barbecue rack also began to ignite, and Xiao Sha'er, who was looking out at the battlement, seemed to realize something, she ran to William with an exclamation, hugged her brother's waist (the little girl has grown taller) and said gloomily: "William"

William glared at Yasuna with some "resentment", lowered his head and touched the little girl's little head and smiled: "Xiao Xiaosha'er, don't worry, see my brother snatch that poor worm back," the corner of the little girl's mouth curved, squinting her big eyes to reveal a row of small white teeth.

Reading the secret words, the ink horse that was put into the brooch suddenly appeared at the head of the city, it suddenly stood up, raised its head to the sky and howled, and with its wings spread and jumped into the air with William who jumped on horseback. William lifted the autumn water and shattered dreams in one hand, grabbed the iron horsehair of Mo Qi in the other, and shouted: "Mo Hu, let's go" and flew high into the sky under the surprised eyes of everyone.

Pegasus and his master have a magical contract-like induction, so William and Mohao can teleport vague thoughts to each other. When they turned into a vague black dot in the eyes of everyone, one man and one rider suddenly slid down sharply, like an eagle that pounced on its prey on the ground, and rushed straight towards the burning wooden frame.

The autumn water knife was gently dragged on the wooden frame, and the thick mane rope was directly cut open along with the wooden stake, and William's legs clamped the horse's belly, and he gently stretched his ape arms to scoop it up, and instantly lifted the scarred human messenger up. The two of them rode over the heads of the orcs like big birds, and the hard and huge hooves of the horses stepped on the heads of several orcs one after another, including the female orc who was a cook, who was directly kicked to the point that her head was shattered, and her brain was crushed and she died.

Seeing that the "food" in their mouths was robbed, all the orcs, including the Gat skull, were furious, and threw their weapons to attack the flying horses that were taking off, and several leaders found a few powerful compound bows with an obvious elven style out of nowhere, and shot at William on horseback.

William, who was extremely sensitive, swung his knife and gently picked it back, and swept away a few arrows that were shot, he smiled contemptuously at the noisy orcs behind him, and was about to return to the city, when he suddenly felt that the pegasus suddenly sank, and involuntarily fell downward, even if Mo Hu desperately flapped his wings to no avail, Mo Hu sent a spiritual idea that it was a spell of the forbidden space.

William's eyes swept through the crowd of orcs, and he immediately spotted the orc shaman standing next to the gart skull and casting a spell, an old orc with a bent back, and at this time it was preparing an offensive spell, wanting to deal a heavy blow to William. William snorted coldly, slapped the struggling messenger and put it on the horse's back, reached out and took out a steel hard bow more than half a person high and an iron feather steel arrow from the ring, and pulled the hundreds of pounds of steel bow into a full moon with a force with both arms, and as soon as his fingers were loosened, "Collapse-" sound, the steel arrow instantly turned into black light, and in the blink of an eye, it shot through the ugly head of the orc shaman, and shot another armored orc behind him, and then the steel arrow pierced into the ground without a feather, and Tesari at the head of the city couldn't help but gasp: What a terrible archery

William rode to the base of the city wall on the temporarily unable to rise into the air, while the embarrassed and angry Gatskull commanded all the orcs to pour out of the nest, and the black pressure surrounded William, and the Gatskour stood in the middle of the line and roared, "Kill him, kill that damned human, I will make his head into a crackling drum, which will be beaten day and night" (Crackling Drum, an evil musical instrument made of skinned skulls made of flesh and skin, popular among orcs)

Running under the city walls, William grabbed the unconscious messenger and threw it up with a loud shout, throwing it directly onto the city. The people at the head of the city were all pleasantly surprised, and in Tessari hurriedly assigned several priests to come forward to treat the poor messenger, while a few kind city guards threw off a rope and shouted to William: "Brave knight, please come quickly, a large army of orcs is coming"

William smiled and shook his head, turning his horse's head in the direction the orcs were coming from, the chaotic orc legion was a complete rabble in his eyes. William was carrying a big bow, his left hand was inserted in his waist, and his right hand was holding a long spear with a thick arm, the blade of the short sword was two feet long and one palm wide, flashing with a dark blue crystal cold, and he immediately stared at the Gat skull that was obviously the leader of the orc warband, and shouted in a deep voice: "Drink that ugly monster, your head is taken by me."

As soon as the words fell, William's feet slammed into the horse's belly, and the ink horse neighed, and suddenly spread his hooves and rushed towards the orc battle array. With hooves like the wind and horses like dragons, the extremely strong Mo Qi almost instantly increased his speed to the extreme, and brutally crashed head-on into the crowd of orcs, and the orcs at the head were knocked out before they even had time to dodge. William held the gun in both hands, held the barrel of the gun in one hand and carried the strength of the other, and the body of the gun shook and suddenly stabbed out a piece of gunlight. Due to the speed of the spear, it seemed to the onlookers to be a huge and beautiful spear flower, but the orc in front of the spear flower only felt that the flower in front of him lost consciousness.

Mo Hu rampaged, William's spear stabbed and picked, the dark blue spear head flew up and down, left and right, and one man and one rode without stopping and rushed towards the Gatt skull in the center of the battle group, leaving behind a bloody death channel. The more he rushed to the middle, the greater the density of the orcs, and William, who gradually felt some resistance, was very impatient in his heart, he took a deep breath, his tongue was thundering, and he shouted angrily - [Soul Storm] was launched, and an invisible ripple spread out instantly with William as the center, but all the orcs who were affected fell to the ground in pain, and the orcs closest to William even burst their heads directly and died, and those who were a little farther away were also dizzy and their heads were swollen.

William is well aware of the domineering nature of his secret technique, even if Mo Hao has the protection of the magic contract, it is almost difficult to withstand the impact of [Soul Storm], although he will not die like an orc, but the end of dizziness is inevitable. He lightly patted Mo Qi's head, jumped off the horse with a press of his hand, retracted the Zhang'er Iron Spear into the ring, drew his war knife in his right hand, and rushed towards the Gat's skull not far away with his feet.

Although the Gat skull was also affected by the [Soul Storm], because he was wearing several pieces of magic armor that he had finally looted, his resistance was indeed quite weak, and it didn't take long for him to shake and stand up. However, William had already rushed to the front with his sword, and the Gat skull, who was still a little handy, saw William's fierce coming, and had to activate his unique natural ability, [Crazy Drinking].

[Madness Drinking] is the famous stunt of the Gatskull, it can let out a deafening roar at the moment of madness, this roaring sound with a spiritual attack will make the enemies around him fall into a temporary sluggishness, combined with the powerful power brought by the madness, there have been countless terrible opponents who have fallen under the stunt of the Gatskull.

But today, the stunt of the Gatt skull is about to fail, the human will in front of him is hard beyond imagination, this terrible man who can almost resist the mage's [Horror Technique] directly ignored the roar of the [Crazy Drink], and the war knife in his hand slashed through the neck of the Gatt skull without hindrance, and the big head rose to the sky, and was immediately lifted in William's hand, while the headless corpse struggled a few times, and the stinking blood spurted out from the neck.

On that day, a former orc powerhouse fell, and the Orc King Gath, who had rampaged through the Northlands, was killed under the city of Nesmail, and the murderer, William, a man riding a black Pegasus. - Old Night "Memorabilia - Heroes"
