Green Bead Forest.

Baryris led five hundred soldiers as the vanguard, and has traveled more than ten miles in the Green Bead Forest, during which he has encountered orcs no less than ten times, but each time he has been discovered in advance by Mage Sandur.

Nearly thirty orcs were killed, and at the end of each battle, Barreis ordered to collect orc heads and take them with him, and as they went deeper, the number of encounters with orcs became more frequent.

It wasn't until Baryris had collected nearly a hundred orc heads that Mage Sandor approached him, "Captain Barreris, I may not be able to take care of everyone any further. ”

Is this trying to evacuate? Baryris frowned, and before leaving, Coiaan specially instructed him not to retreat unless he encountered a large group of orcs who could not be defeated, or collected 200 orc heads.

At the moment, neither of these two conditions has been met, how can it be possible to retreat?

"Mage Sandur, you can do your best, we were prepared for a bloody battle with the orcs before we came, and if the situation is very dangerous, I will allow you to evacuate in advance."

Speaking of which, Sandur didn't say anything more, but always had the magic to run away, and as long as he was sure that the situation would endanger his life, then he would leave.

Not even a lord could force an official mage into danger.

……

The difficulty of the Orc Tide is not that humans cannot compete head-on with orcs, but that it is difficult to compete with orcs in the same number or even a small number.

Every year, orcs leave the tribe to adventure, fight, and plunder in the outside world, and their first stop is the Saville Territory in the north.

It can be said that if a large number of adventurers and soldiers do not enter the forest to clear out some of them, the once-in-a-decade orc tide will be even more difficult to deal with.

While directing the troops to march slowly, Ke Yane combined with the information from Baryris in front of him, and began to design how to guide the orcs to a decisive battle in the designated position, and the more there were, the better.

It was the lord's order, and he also had his desires.

He wanted to kill all the orcs so badly!

"Uncle Coyane!"

A crisp female voice came from behind him, and Ke Yaen looked back to see a female mage in a gorgeous robe riding close to him, and the tall and sturdy forest horse set off the female mage even more majestic.

Of course, in Ke Yan's eyes, this kind of majesty is just a child's forced maturity, seeing this, he can't help but be a little funny, "Miss Niya, is there anything to do with me?" ”

"Uncle Coyane, why didn't you assign me a task? My father didn't let me come to the forest! ”

Ahem –

Ke Yaen was also worried that it would backfire, and when he saw the map of the Green Bead Forest in his hand, he instantly thought of an idea, "Miss Niya, now I have a very important task for you. ”

"What task? Uncle Coyane said quickly. Niya immediately raised her staff and said, "I promise it's done!" ”

As if sensing the will of his master, the forest horse under Nya couldn't help but snort and kicked the dead leaves on the ground.

"I'm thinking about how to lure the orcs to this location—" Keyan pointed to a location on the map and continued, "all the orcs must be lured as much as possible, even the orcs of Wolf God Mountain, can it be done?" ”

Ke Yaen actually made up his mind in his heart, and now he handed it over to Niya, but he didn't want her to be idle, and if she was idle, she would easily get into trouble, and Ke Yaen was entrusted by Master Alberke to take care of Nia.

But even without Master Alberck's instructions, he would not have been able to expose the lord's daughter to real danger.

Nia still didn't understand Coyane's plans, but she was still quite happy to receive "such an important" mission, and felt that she had not come in vain.

Taking the map from Coyane, Nia pondered, her father hadn't told her all the plans, but she could still tell from all the signs that this year's orc tide might be different.

Now hearing Keyaan's mission, her guess was reconfirmed, but what was the difference, what her father's plan was, Niya still couldn't guess.

Touching the bracelet on her left wrist, Nia finally gave up on asking her father.

Looking at the map in her hand again, suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she hurriedly found Ke Yaen and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Ke Yaen, won't my father come over?" ”

Before Koyan could speak, Nia continued, "Yes, it must be so, because Your Excellency Archmage Oron—"

Speaking of this, Niya once again suppressed her voice, "They want to sneak attack the Wolf God Mountain?" ”

The expression on Keyan's face didn't change, but he nodded imperceptibly.

"And these soldiers—" Nia looked at the vivid faces around her, and the rest of her words were a little speechless.

"They must have a head-on battle with the orcs that is close enough, and even attract the orc warriors on the Wolf God Mountain, this is their fate."

Keyan's voice gradually deepened, Niya couldn't bear it, but she didn't know how to speak, no one could object to her father's decision, and compared to the complete elimination of the orc tide, these people-

Nia couldn't weigh it for a moment, it was completely beyond her learning, magic could solve enemies and solve puzzles, but it wouldn't necessarily solve everything.

Maybe that's why my father asked her to come over.

Nia was silent for a moment, then returned the map to Koyan.

The two then discussed how to design a decisive battle for the orcs, and the mage's keen insight combined with Koyan's vast experience quickly enriched all the details.

Time will tell.

……

Savile Collar, a military camp to the southwest.

Since receiving the notice to be on standby, Xia Duo has been in the camp for three full days.

In the past three days, even if there was no spell laboratory to suppress and balance the magic net, he had "touched" all the elements of the [Water Creation Technique] little by little.

Next, he will conduct the first complete [Water Formation] experiment. From theory to practice, he has a thorough grasp of all the details, and he is fully sure that this experiment will be successful.

In the camp room, Xia Duo turned the spell notes to the record page of [Water Formation], even if he was already ripe and could not be more cooked, Xia Duo still gave himself the last insurance.

Entering the state of casting concentration, Xia Duo felt that today's magic net seemed to be slightly different from yesterday, but he couldn't say what the difference was when he wanted to point it out.

It can only be said to be an intuition, of course, compared to direct, Xia Duo prefers to believe that it is his will that has become more sensitive in the long-term contact with the magic web.

It's just that this sensitivity has not yet reached the level that can be described in words. (Lack of perceptual accuracy?) ）

But no matter how the magic net changes, it will not affect his next experiments.
