8 Wild Goblins, Fight!
The mountains stretch like a giant dragon lying on the ground, the tall pines and cypresses are like dark green dragon scales stretching from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, at this time it is already the sunset, the mountain forest begins to echo the howl of various beasts, the night is approaching, the survival game under the shadow has just begun.
Marlowe and his two fellow orcs were galloping on the wolf, and they had been trekking on the road for five days.
The three of them had to continue their journey before night as they had been hampered in their passage through the Human Realm this morning, and according to the original plan, they should have been sitting by the fireplace in the Oak Cave Bar, drinking dwarven wine, eating delicious dwarven roast lamb chops, and perhaps hearing the dwarven girl sing a dwarven toast.
"Okedas!damn human guards, they should be glad I didn't have my axe with me this time, or I'd have knocked their heads open!" the chill of the night didn't make Pinak soothe his anger at all, and he cursed loudly.
"Pinak, I'm sure you'll have a chance in the future, it's better to hurry up now, we'd better get to the Oak Cave Bar before dark, you know that the Dark Dragon Mountains in the dark are not so easy to deal with. Oga persuaded in a black wool cloak.
Marlowe listened silently to the indignant words of his two companions, and did not interject. The days of hurried travel were exhausting, and the only thing that made Marlowe happy was that Pinak no longer squinted at him, all because of the brave confrontation with Frost Warcry that day, which made the orc warrior's impression of him change, and as for Ogala, he was still a little lukewarm to Marlowe.
As the night grew darker, the three of them continued to rush forward for a while, and Pinak, who was running in front, suddenly grabbed the reins of the wolf and whispered, "Ogga, there seems to be a fire ahead!"
It was not easy to see the light of fire at night in this Dark Dragon Mountain Range, and even the seasoned foot merchants knew that advancing here with torches was tantamount to looking for death in a high-profile manner, and the two orc warriors immediately noticed a trace of abnormality.
"Shall we go over and have a look or take a detour?" Pinak patted the wolf's head with some distress, the big guy under him was tired, and he was panting with his mouth open.
"Leaving the avenue at night is simply looking for death. Oga did not agree to a detour. "Let's go, let's sneak over and see what's going on. ”
Along the way, it was Oga who was arranging the actions of the three of them, so no one raised any objections, and the three of them led the wolf and quietly approached the past.
In the pothole ahead, dozens of short figures formed a circle, and there were several restless high-headed horses in the circle, and there was also a human boy with a knife in one hand and a torch in the other, and this strong boy kept waving his things to drive the short and dirty guys away.
"It's a wild goblin!" Pinak whispered.
"Shhhhh......h
The Wild Goblins are a subset of the goblin race, and unlike their fellow goblins who have built houses and established chambers of commerce all over the continent, these goblins are vicious and cunning by nature, relying on the cover of night to rob passers-by in groups, robbing pedestrians of their goods, killing and eating the animals used by pedestrians and packers, and even the goblin foot traders of the race.
Marlowe frowned as he looked at the boy with the torch, the human boy always gave him a sense of déjà vu.
"Get out of here, you filthy bedbugs, and if you don't leave, I'll show you how sharp Uncle Paul's scimitar is!"
"Oh, our delicious food wants to kill us!"
"Quack, kill him, eat him!"
"Stupid human, white and tender fresh meat, eat him, eat him!"
The wild goblins were even more excited when they heard the threat of the human boys, baring their dirty teeth, screaming piercingly, and leaping with bone or rusty iron objects.
"Paul, it's Paul!" Marlowe almost stood up in excitement when he heard the boy's words, and suppressed his excitement, he carefully got up and tried to sneak over, and then launched a surprise attack from the rear of the wild goblins.
Marlowe was the only one of the three who was armed because he looked like an elf, so he was not bound by the "Prohibition of Orcs from Carrying Weapons" made by humans because of their discrimination and hatred of orcs.
He lowered his body, his eyes fixed on the wild goblin in the depression, and his right hand gripped the elven sword at his waist.
"What are you going to do!" Oga whispered, pinning Marlowe to the ground.
"Let go of me, I'm going to help him, that's my brother!" Marlowe struggled.
Oga frowned when he heard this, and asked uncertainly, "That human is your brother?"
"Together, we have sworn before the Patriarch Marta and the Holy Angels that we will never betray or abandon our brothers in eternal life!"
Ancestor Marta is the spiritual belief of all orcs, they worship Marta as a god-like being, as long as they have made an oath in front of Marta's portrait or under the sculpture, then they must fulfill their responsibilities, which is respect and reverence for Marta. In the same way, the Holy Angels and Octavian the Father are human gods.
Oga and Pinak were a little surprised that the chief's son had become a brother with a human, you know, the various races on this continent were always in friction or war, and the war between orcs and humans had been fought intermittently for thousands of years.
Although there have been no large-scale wars between the two sides in recent years, there have been no less than 100 large-scale battles in the past, with countless casualties on both sides, and it can be said that there is an irreparable rift between the two races, which is why the three of them have been discriminated against and troubled along the way.
This news made the two of them stunned for a while, how many strange things did this kid do...... By the time Oga came to his senses, Marlowe had already advanced more than ten meters.
Marlowe anxiously watched the situation in the depression, the wild goblins around the depression had not yet discovered Marlo and the three, and there were no wild beasts coming for the time being, so the wild goblins screamed and jumped unscrupulously in the firelight, as if the humans and the horses in front of them were already in their plates.
"Give me the sword. Oga quickly made a decision to follow, his and Pinak's first task was to protect Marlowe's safety, but Marlowe obviously would not give up the idea of saving people, so he and Pinak could only cooperate with Marlowe to kill the wild goblins.
"What for?" Marlowe asked, turning back to find that it was Ogga, and immediately held down his sword tightly, staring into Ogga's eyes.
"Are you going to let me smash these crumbs with my fists? I don't want them to bite my fingers off. Oga was a little annoyed, the hungry goblins were notoriously hungry for meat, and he didn't carry a weapon, and if he couldn't guarantee that he would kill the bunch of mintagons with one punch, he would definitely be bitten.
"You're going to help me, but what do I use if I'm given you?"
"Don't you still have an elven longbow, you stay here and cover us with your bow and arrows. ”
Marlowe handed the elven sword to Ogga, who in turn handed it to Pinak, who took the sword in his hand and weighed it and threw it back, and then Pinak found two large stone slabs at his feet, the weight seemed to be quite right.
"Elf stuff is too light, I'm not used to it, I use this. ”
"Alright, let's go!" Oga ordered when he saw Marlowe take out his bow and arrows.
"Little bastards, let you taste the power of the steppe warriors!"
Pinak roared and took the lead in charging towards the encirclement of the wild goblins!
