Chapter 14: Monkeys Can Steal!
The outer wall of the tall fence was seven or eight meters long, and the double rows of rough logs were filled with dirt, wide enough for a knight in full suit to gallop his horse on it.
At the four corners stood the Arrow Towers and the Watchtower, the thick solid wood that ensured that the watchtower would stand tall in the night winds, nearly twice as tall as the fence to raise the sight of humanity by countless notches.
A wide ditch was dug around the perimeter of the fence, and although there was not enough water to fill the moat in the gravel wasteland, the bottom and walls of the ditch were filled with sharpened wooden stakes.
A rough wooden suspension bridge of about 20 feet was erected on the ditch, and two thick iron chains connected the wooden bridge to the gatehouse in the fence, and a winch was attached below, which could raise the wooden bridge at any time.
From time to time, there are figures patrolling the fence, and although it is called a border post, such a defense is simply a small fortress.
"Damn, why do we still have to come out to patrol, such a ghost weather that even those rough-skinned orcs wouldn't think of!" In the face of the strong wind, the patrolling sentry tightened the heavy camel hair cloak on his body, and glanced enviously at a tall, brightly lit wooden house in the middle of the outpost, even in the strong wind, he could hear the noise in the wooden house, and the tempting smell of wine in the wind.
"Damn Gru, dare you nag again, beware of the captain's whip!" the other soldier whispered angrily, his tone filled with fear and awe for the captain.
"What's the big deal, isn't it just an intermediate warrior" Gru wanted to refute unconvinced, but under the other party's increasingly cold gaze, he realized what he said, his face was slightly pale, and he hurriedly shut up, and at the same time changed the topic, Zuo Gu Yan said, "Why hasn't the second team come back today, those slackers are the first to come back on weekdays!"
"Maybe the wind is delaying them! It's damn like the wind, it's too early today!" Gru's plan was obviously successful, and he easily changed the subject, as anyone who had lived in the Gravel Wasteland hated the wind in the Gravel Wasteland.
"Hey, what do you think that's that?" Gru, who was looking around in embarrassment, suddenly pointed to a group of vague black shadows on the dark horizon.
"Orc, it looks?" The other had a noticeably better look, squinting in the wind, and guessing from the blurred silhouette in the darkness that the orc's stout form was easily recognizable in the wasteland.
Although there were as many as three or four hundred vague black shadows, his tone was not the slightest panic, but all of them were stunned, these cowardly orcs, what gave them the courage to dare to come near the outpost.
The actual situation was that these half-orcs, who were in a hurry to regain their own self, had already begun to tremble within a hundred miles of entering the outpost, and if it weren't for the appearance of Xia Zuo that day, they would not have dared to go in this direction if they hadn't been killed that day.
Trembling and walking to the vicinity that the outpost could see, more than three hundred and half of the orcs were shivering in the cold wind, and they didn't know whether they were frozen or frightened.
There were no imaginary human soldiers, and the panicked orcs gradually quieted down, perhaps those humans were also afraid of their huge numbers!
A few bold and strong orcs began to beat their minds on the sleek corpses of the humans on the ground, watching the beige muscles lick their fat lips from time to time, they had never eaten a full meal since they were captured.
Led by a few strong half-orcs, especially after discovering that the Munk orcs who drove them disappeared without knowing when.
The freed orcs skillfully found a leeward place to build a bonfire, roasted the dead bodies of five humans on the fire, and waited eagerly around the campfire, compared to the Munk orcs, the delicate humans were much more delicious.
At the same time, near the outpost, Xia Zuo, who led the whole tribe to sneak through the darkness, looked at the towering rows of rough wood in front of him with greedy eyes, if there was this kind of wood, plus his homemade hay loess concrete, the degree of solidity was definitely comparable to the city wall, but in the gravel wasteland, this huge rough wood was simply more precious than a water source.
With a slight increase in his hand, nearly two hundred Munk orcs behind Xia Zuo quietly stopped and waited, and the orcs lying on the ground in the cold wind almost merged with the ground.
"Boss, look," Bigu silently crawled to Natsuzo's side, pointing to the orcs who were happily preparing to bake food in the distance behind him.
Xia Zuo couldn't help but smile in amazement, although his original intention was to let the half-orcs attract the attention of humans with corpses, but he didn't expect these cowardly half-orcs to complete his task so perfectly, and his current behavior is simply the ultimate skill of pulling hatred, and no intelligent race will allow this kind of thing to happen, let alone comrades who get along day and night.
"We'll wait!" Xia Zuo looked at the orcs and sneered, hoping that the enraged human sentinels wouldn't kill too quickly.
"Damn, it's the second squad" The two sentries on the fence squinted curiously in the cold wind and watched the orcs' movements curiously, and after the orcs lit a bonfire in the leeward place, the faces of the two who could see through the firelight suddenly changed.
The bell rang out sharply, and Gray rushed to the bell tower, pulled up the hammer and shook it wildly.
The bell of the warning rang, and the large wooden house filled with the smell of wine suddenly became noisy and chaotic, mixed with many angry curses and the crisp sound of the flask falling and shattering.
"Damn Gray, if you don't have enough of a reason, just wait for the whip!" With a thunderous roar, a majestic figure wrapped in silver slick rushed from the big wooden house to the bell tower, and the voice was already beside Gray.
Shirtless, the steel-like knotted muscles were not afraid of the biting cold wind, the afterglow of the wine on his face had not yet receded, and a pair of big round eyes like bull's eyes glared at Gray with anger.
Frightened by the strong man's terrifying gaze, Gray immediately trembled like a quail in front of a brown bear.
"Captain, look," the other sentry was obviously much calmer, walked quickly to the strong man's side, and pointed to the orc in the distance and said coldly.
"How dare these cowards come here?" the strong captain glanced at the half-orc crowd in the distance, but when he saw clearly what the half-orcs were baking, his nonchalant expression immediately turned into boiling anger.
The sudden burst of silver fighting energy on Peng's majestic body swept out like a violent wind, causing Gray and the two to stumble.
"Stinky boys, get the guys for Lao Tzu and go and slaughter those filthy green-skinned pigs" snatched the spear from Gray's hand, and the strong captain jumped off the fence wall seven or eight meters high, with silver light on his body, and rushed towards the orcs in the distance.
And the remaining thirty or forty drunken sentinels in the big wooden house also rushed to the fence gatehouse, and at this glance, the flames that were already burning in their bodies were like lava erupting.
Although he was not as brave as the strong captain who rushed directly down the wall, he was also shouting to pick up the nearest spear and sword, and under the stimulation of alcohol and anger, he didn't even think of his armor, so he put down the drawbridge and rushed out with a crazy roar.
The silver light that rushed towards the orcs in the darkness was undoubtedly the best signal, and Xia Zuo, who was lurking in the darkness, waved his hand, and a black shadow slowly appeared on the pitch-black ground behind him, hunched over and quickly approached the outpost.
Agile and silent like a ghost in the dark, the ditch without a sentry could not hinder the Munk orcs in the slightest.
Under the wall, more than a dozen Munk orcs who were at the forefront took off the thick straw ropes they had made on their bodies, threw the ropes round and threw them towards the fence wall, and hung silently on the thick wood of the fence wall.
"Up" pulled hard twice, after making sure that the rope was very strong, Xia Zuo climbed up first, although he had not tried to stretch before, but now under the rapid increase in power every day, Xia Zuo jumped on the wall in just two or three strokes.
A figure came up silently, and the dexterous Munk orcs were still easy to climb the fence at this height.
First there were twelve of them, followed by more than fifty relatively strong elderly Munks and women, and the rest waited cautiously under the fence.
By the light of the fire in the large wooden house in the middle of the house, Xia Zuo took in the entire outpost in his eyes.
The fence was neatly planned, with two rows of huts in the middle and two rows of huts, which were supposed to be sentinels' camps, and behind the huts were a row of stables and a tall domed warehouse.
"There," Natsuzo said with a smile on his face, pointing to the warehouse, where was their goal for tonight.
Dozens of ghostly figures slipped off the walls, and the rows of horses in the stables let out a rapid snort.
But their masters had either rushed out to punish the orcs, or were lying under the table in the big wooden house with long saliva hanging from the corners of their mouths, and they didn't know what kind of sweet dreams they were sitting on.
With a slight crisp sound, Xia Zuo pulled off the door lock on the warehouse and lifted the horse lamp borrowed from the stable, even if Xia Zuo was ready, he couldn't help but gasp at this time.
"Damn, these rich people!" Xia Zuo scolded angrily, he worries about food every day, and even from the establishment of the tribe to the present, he is reluctant to let go of his stomach and eat a full meal, but look at these damn sentinels.
In a large granary, the size of a basketball court and five meters high, bags of grain were stuffed with bags of grain, reaching the ceiling of the granary.
"Brothers, move!" Xia Zuo gritted his teeth as if he was relieved, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pulled out five belts of grain from it, although the ** bag that was built up was taller than Xia Zuo's two people, but under his huge strength, he carried it casually as if there was nothing, and quietly ran up to the fence and threw it down.
And under the fence, there are naturally waiting Munk orcs to catch them.
Orcs are generally strong, even a half-grown Munk child can carry a sack of grain and run away, and for an adult female orc, it is not a problem to carry three or four sacks at a time!
Bags of grain were sent outside the walls of the outpost in the silent movements of the Munks.
"Boss, come quickly" Xia Zuo, who was busy fighting against food, heard Tara's exclamation in surprise and excitement, and hurriedly walked over.
I saw Tara drooling, her eyes staring directly at the wooden house in front of her.
Xia Zuo, who stepped forward, glanced straight and couldn't take his eyes off anymore, and even his breathing couldn't help but start to be short.
"Damn, it's here, a few people are coming over sooner than Gu and Mantas!" Xia Zuo roared in a low voice with the same urgency, and his face even flushed with excitement.
The wooden house was not large, but the contents of it shone brightly, spears made of stainless steel, two-handed swords, neatly arranged on weapon racks, sharp spear tips and blades flashing in the darkness.
Four rows of spears and two rows of two-handed swords were arranged against the wall, twenty of them were neatly placed in each row, and on the long table in the center were placed pieces of chain mail and matching stainless steel armor, and at a glance there were no less than forty sets.
In the corner are two beautiful chests made of brass, full of gold coins and glittering jewels.
These armor weapons all shimmer with a new silver light, and the smooth appearance has no scars or cracks, which are obviously all new.
"My god Kampas!! so many weapons!" several Bigu, who had been summoned by Xia Zuo, hurriedly walked over, and one by one they immediately stared at the weapons with round eyes, staring straight at the weapons and unable to take their eyes away.
For the scarcity orcs who are backward in the smelting industry and lack of steel, this kind of weapon made of pure steel can only be used by the most elite legions, and civilians like them are even rarer.
As for the gold coins, they are on the back burner.
"Take it, take it all!" Xia Zuo roared excitedly, with these weapons, the combat power of the Saiyan tribe can definitely be improved by at least three grades.
"Hmm"
The heavy and dragging footsteps, with a hazy ** of intoxication, woke up Xia Zuo, who was still in the weapon**, and the Munk orcs, who were also in full swing to transport food, also stopped their movements abruptly.
A figure in the big wooden house stumbled out, walked to the wooden house in a daze, uncovered his crotch, and was about to open the gate to release the water, when he saw the almost face-to-face Munch orcs, his drunken eyes suddenly widened, and he opened his mouth to shout.
"Hmm" Xia Zuo's figure suddenly flashed, appeared in front of the sentry and blocked the shouting in his mouth, and at the same time, his knees carried a thousand jun power, and suddenly pushed upward.
There were two crisp sounds of "click", the object under the crotch that had just been exposed to the air shattered, and the sentry who struggled under the severe pain, his bloodshot eyes almost popped out of his sockets.
If it weren't for Xia Zuo blocking his mouth, this shout would definitely be sublime, but as Xia Zuo Lisuo twisted his face back, this shout was also blocked in his stomach forever.
"Move the food first!" Xia Zuo, who had calmed down, commanded in a deep voice, and at the same time began to look around, with their current manpower, they would definitely not be able to take away these weapons while taking enough food.
Although several people were reluctant, they finally turned their eyes away from the weapons with difficulty.
"Bigu, do you know how to take a carriage?" the three carriages in the stable finally caught Natsuzo's eye.
"Of course it will" Reluctantly, Bigu patted his chest and ran back, this time he understood what Xia Zuo meant, if there was a carriage, he would naturally be able to take more food and those weapons.
"Okay, you go ahead and get the food, Bigu put the three horses on the horse, Tara, Mantas, you two go and help, hurry!" Xia Zuo commanded the remaining Munk orcs to transport the food, and gave instructions to the three Bigu over and over again.
The three of Bigu moved very quickly, and soon selected three war horses to put the carriage on, and began to bundle the spears and swords with chain mail and load the cart with joy, and there was still room for grain on it.
"Boss, it's all loaded. Tara happily ran back to report that the food was enough for them to survive the winter, and even far rich, and the weapons were a surprise, and this trip was definitely very rewarding for them.
Xia Zuo nodded, looking at the granary that had barely decreased, a trace of ruthlessness appeared on his face, "Bigu, burn the rest of the grain for me!"
"What?" Bigu didn't believe his ears, his eyes widened, this was a room full of grain, in the gravel wasteland, this grain was more precious than a room of gold.
"Burn all this grain, and kill all the remaining war horses!" Xia Zuo's painful mouth twitched slightly, he really wanted to take everything away, but with limited manpower, it was completely impossible to take all this grain away.
The Munch orcs, who are not familiar with horseback riding, are okay to drive carriages, let them ride horses, or well-trained war horses, the speed is definitely slower than walking.
Rather than staying here and waiting for the enemy to find out and catch up on horseback, it is better to solve it completely, and burning these grains is to delay time, and secondly, Xia Zuo will not believe that these humans will not find the field after discovering that they have been tricked, and now is not the time to collide with them, and the lack of food can at least delay them for a while.
"Oh!" Under Xia Zuo's serious gaze, although Bigu didn't understand what he was doing this, he finally walked to the granary with the horse lantern on his face, and with a painful expression on his face, he threw the horse lantern into the pile of grain.
The lamp oil carried the sparks in all directions, and the fire soon spread in the granary, and the mournful screams of the war horses on the other side continued to sound, and the horses were cut off their necks, gurgling outward with the blood gushing, falling to the ground and struggling gradually weak.
"Let's go!" Xia Zuo beckoned and jumped into the carriage, the only few sentinels in the empty outpost were still drunken dreams, the hanging door was wide open, and nothing could hinder them.
Three piles of slow wagons lined up as they drove out of the outpost, and the elated Munk orcs outside the walls, carrying the food, followed the wagons and gradually disappeared into the dark wasteland.
And the howling wind erased all traces of them.
In the darkness, rows of orcs fell like wheat, and the strong captain took the lead, smiling and lifting the wailing orcs into the sky, shaking them in two with fighting spirit.
"Captain, look" The crimson light of the fire lit up half of the sky, and under the howling wind, the fire in this dry outpost made of wood was far faster than Xia Zuo expected.
"Damn" at this glance, everyone was immediately in a cold sweat, and the drunken intent and killing intent were also instantly sober, the strong man captain shouted violently, and he no longer cared about the more than 100 half-orcs involved, and the two thick legs stepped out, and rushed towards the outpost with silver light flashing all over his body.
The entire camp turned into a sea of fire, and the thick wooden walls were wrapped around the raging flames, a dozen meters high, crackling in the hurricane.
The wind swept up the scorching airflow, and even if the strong captain was surrounded by fighting energy, he could not captain such a disaster with one person.
"Ah!!!" several times in succession, but they were blocked back by the scorching air current, and the strong man captain with red eyes roared madly at the sea of fire.
A group of sentries also rushed back anxiously, but now the fire was completely beyond their control, and they all stood behind the captain, either angry or desperate, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground weakly, clanging into a clang.
They have lived here for a short period of more than a few years, and they have long regarded this place as a writer, and all the wealth they have looted over the years has been burned clean by this fire.
The feeling of remorse spreads, and the sentinels who have just killed are very regretful in their hearts, and they should at least have left a sober person just now, and it will not be like this now.
"Captain, look at the ground!" Just as everyone was feeling remorse and anger, a sentry suddenly pointed to the ground and screamed in dismay.
And in the direction of his finger, there were two bloody carriage prints on the ground that came out of the outpost.
Although it was only a faint imprint, and it disappeared quickly, there were many things that appeared, and the original accidental fire immediately turned into someone doing it deliberately.
"Check it for me, even if you turn the wasteland over, you have to find these bastards!" Looking at the blood-colored carriage marks on the ground, the strong man captain roared a hideous roar.
