Chapter 34: In the Woods
The next morning, the group was on the road again, only this time there was a dejected, tied young knight beside them.
Compared with yesterday's bravery, the young knight is now lifeless, looking like he is about to die, and he is about to face the end of the world.
"Is this the road that leads to Carcassonne?"
"Yes......... Adult ........."
In the face of Duanmu Huai's inquiry, the young knight no longer looked like he was struggling.
"Okay, lead the way."
"Yes..............."
Looking at the listless young knight in front of her, Alyssa looked puzzled.
"It's strange, why is he so obedient all of a sudden? I thought he would continue to fight against the Black Knight. ”
"Hahaha, this......... This is because ..............."
Hearing Alyssa's doubts, the elven scout explained with a look of excitement and not a big deal.
"When this guy woke up, he seemed to be ashamed that he was scared by the black knight to pee his pants and fainted, and he kept saying that he was not worthy of being a knight favored by the goddess, so he swore to the black knight that he would be his slave........."
"Huh? But didn't he see the Black Knight as a demon? ”
"That's right, that's why he said at the time, 'I have lost the favor of the goddess and no longer have the face to pursue her, so let me fall into one of the demons!'" ”
“……… Hahh..............."
Hearing the Elven Scout's description, Alyssa looked confused, she didn't understand what kind of brain circuit it was. You must know that when Alyssa was kidnapped by the cultists of the evil gods, she was absolutely unwilling to be a sacrifice to them. Therefore, even if she was killed by Duanmu Huai, she was unwilling to let that group of evil god believers succeed. But now this young knight actually wants to become the devil's lackey in shame just because he is scared to pee?
"Obviously he was still very brave yesterday........."
"That's the three-minute heat."
The elven scout waved his hand.
"It's like us scouts, we all think it's fun to live in the forest and track down prey. But it's another thing when you actually hide in the forest, can't make a sound when bitten by mosquitoes, and are hunted by wild animals, and may even die in obscurity and become food for wild beasts. ”
At this, the elven scout pursed his lips.
"Like that guy, too, I guess I heard some kind of ghost story about knights fighting evil dragons, and thought that I could defeat evil dragons, obtain countless treasures, and then marry a beautiful princess, so I went out to travel directly with a brain draw. This kind of person can't even see the shadow of the evil dragon, so he probably killed it by some rat man or something. ”
"That's ............"
After listening to the elf scout's words, Alyssa also looked confused, and looked at Christine, not knowing what to say.
"Some young people do."
At this time, the old knight Cardo also nodded.
"At the beginning, many of my recruits thought that knights in armor were very handsome, and in their imaginations, knights were heroes who rode tall horses, wore shiny armor, were respected by people, and were loved by beautiful women."
"But isn't that what Mr. Cardo is all about?"
Alyssa looked curiously at the old knight, who smiled and waved his hand.
"Hahaha, thank you for the compliment, but this is only one side of the knight, in fact, the knight also needs to go through very strict training, not only to learn to ride a horse, kill enemies, but also to learn how to survive in the wild......... In fact, there are many people who can't stand the training of rolling in the mud and crying, 'This is not the knight I want to be,' and then running away. ”
"That's ..............."
Although it may be the first time for nobles like Alyssa and Christine to see someone like the young knight, for the elven scout and the old knight, they really see too many people like this.
"Huh?"
At that moment, suddenly, the elven scout's ears moved, and she looked up at the front.
"Black Knight, did you hear that?"
"Well, there's the sound of fighting, and I hear it too."
Facing the elf scout's inquiry, Duanmu Huai also nodded, and his detector also caught the sound of weapons clashing in the distance, so Duanmu Huai immediately turned on the holographic projection, and then zoomed in again. Soon, in the hologram, everyone saw a motorized carriage being attacked.
And what attacked them was a group of green-skinned, tall monsters.
"Wow, it's an orc........."
Seeing this scene, the elf scout unabashedly showed an expression of disgust, and Duanmu Huai also nodded, he also understood why the elf scout showed such an expression.
The Green-skinned Orcs are also a very troublesome creature, even more destructive than the Nezumi. If the nezumi still have a goal to speak of, then the greenskin's goal is simple.
The three cycles of destruction, plunder, and killing.
For Greenskin, the most important thing in this world is to be happy, and being happy means fighting, whether it is fighting with one's own people or fighting with outsiders, as long as there is a fight, it is very happy, and if there is no fight, it is not happy. So they're either fighting, or they're on their way.
Not only that, but it is also difficult to completely eradicate these green skins, because they are not technically animals, but fungal plants......... That's right, the kind that can photosynthesize.
This is also how the green-skinned orcs reproduce, they do not reproduce by procreation, but grow from the ground like plants.
The so-called ——— I plant a green skin in the spring, and I can harvest a bunch of small green skins in the autumn......... Its reproductive ability is even comparable to that of the Tyranid Zerg, who dominate the universe.
The green-skinned orc is not the Chaos camp, but it is not the Order camp either, to put it bluntly, it just wants to find a fight, and anyone who enters its field of vision is its opponent. When there are outsiders, they will fight outsiders, and when there are no outsiders, they will beat their own people. To be honest, Bretonnia is a small country, and it is really ......... to be able to resist the attack of the northern orcs It's hard to think about it.
"Want to help?"
"Of course, after all, here, one more friend and one more way."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai clenched his hammer and stared at the young knight next to him.
"Hey, boy."
"Yikes! What, what's the matter? ”
"Come with me to fight the orcs."
"Wait? Wait a minute? Orcs? Why?? ”
"Huh? Didn't you swear to be my faithful subordinate? So as a despicable demon, wouldn't it be normal for me to let you go to death first? Come on! Or I'll smash your head! ”
"Woo —————!"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's threat, the young knight suddenly cried and mourned, and obediently followed Duanmuhuai with a long sword.
By the time Duanmu Huai arrived with reluctant knights, the battle had already begun to turn against the caravan. The orcs roared and began to compress the caravan's defenses, which were already starting to crumble a little and couldn't hold it anymore.
"Go, get on!"
Duanmu Huai kicked the young knight, glared at him and gave the order, while the latter held his long sword with a pale face, looking at the group of green-skinned orcs not far away, his whole body trembling.
"No, no, no......... I can't beat that many .........."
"What do you want to do?"
Duanmu Huai glanced at the young knight unhappily, then directly grasped the war hammer, jumped up, and the jetpack burst out of the airflow, and took Duanmu Huai to smash down quickly on the orcs!!
"Boom !!"
Duanmu Huai fell from the sky and smashed directly into the army of orcs, and the orcs who were attacked also hurriedly turned their heads, looking at the warrior in front of them who was even taller than them, almost all the orcs were dazzled!
Compared to those who hide in the back of the truck, this is the opponent they want!!
“WAAAAAAAAAGH!!!”
The next moment, the orcs raised their weapons and rushed towards Duanmu Huai with a loud roar!
