Chapter 2: Climbing Over the Fortress (2)
At this time, in the dark canyon outside the fortress, many torches had been thrown down, and the firelight illuminated the surroundings, but there was no trace of an orc.
"Strange, did the sneak attack fail and all retreated?" said Futak to himself.
Then he ordered: "Go and ask the watchtower, if you have found any orcs." ”
A herald left in a hurry, and soon the news returned, and there was no trace of the orcs in the watchtowers set up throughout the fortress.
"Your Excellency, could it be a false alarm?" asked an officer
With his iron-gloved fingers, Ftak tapped lightly on the battlements of the city wall: "Judging from the claw marks on those stones, it is indeed a Beamon beast. Now that these monsters are dispatched, things are not so simple. ”
"However, since the orcs have already arrived, why do they retreat with only this level of attack, which will only alarm us and do them no good. The officer wondered.
Another officer speculated: "Maybe they didn't plan to sneak up in the first place." In fact, since the construction of the Broken Sword Gorge Fortress, the orcs have not breached it by any means. So I guess it might be a warning, or a declaration, that they're going to renew their assault on the fort. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone else was shocked, and for a while there was a lot of discussion.
"Could it be that the rare 20-year-old peace is finally going to be broken?"
"It seems that the orcs have regained their strength, no wonder they expelled a lot of humans under the pretext of the festival a while ago, I'm afraid they are preparing for war. ”
......
"Your Excellency, what now?" asked one of the officers.
Futak said in a deep voice, "No matter what tricks the orcs play, as long as we hold the fortress, there will be no problems. However, you can't be too passive, pass on my order, and immediately send a cavalry out to find the main force of the orcs. ”
As he spoke, Vortak slammed his fist against the wall: "Damn orcs, since you dare to tear up the peace treaty again, then I will remind you of the horror of this fortress." ”
His order was quickly carried out, and in a short time, a cavalry detachment belonging to the Northern Legion of Dinar galloped out of the fortress of Broken Sword Gorge to find the main orc force that did not exist.
At this time, on a certain mound outside the Broken Sword Gorge, Raymond watched the group of cavalry rush into the grassland, and said to Lutz proudly: "What's the matter, I just said that once it is attacked, those guys can't ignore it." ”
"Alright, half of the cast is already on the stage, it's time for us to do the rest of the work, I hope Bath has brought the other half with her. ”
With that, Raymond and Luz left the mound and sneaked into the grassland from the other direction.
At the same moment, deep in the dark grassland,
A group of wolf cavalry galloped through the night, chasing a white figure in front of them. The werewolves howled excitedly, and as they drove the wolves, they hurled arrows and hatchets and other throwing weapons at the figure, but the other party was extremely agile and could always avoid it in time.
At this time, if you look closely, you can find that the white figure chased by the wolves is really familiar.
"Meow, young master, you killed me this time!" In front of the wolves, poor Catwoman let out such a lament with tears in her eyes as she ran desperately.
Under Raymond's orders (coercion), she had to take on the role of luring the wolf cavalry. However, being chased by a group of wolf cavalry is really not a fun thing, and Baster has tried her best, relying on her racial talent, to survive until now.
At this moment, a wolf cavalry was seen speeding up behind Bath, and the scimitar in his hand was raised high. Just as he was about to cut it down, suddenly, Catwoman's figure flickered and disappeared into the dense grass.
"Damn, hid again. The wolf cavalry cursed unwillingly, pulling the wolf's mane to stop it, looking around for Bathter's figure.
Although werewolves have strong night vision, it is not so easy to find a deliberately hidden cat man in the grassland at night.
Suddenly, a wolf cavalry shouted, "There she is!"
At the same time, I saw a white catwoman not far away from the dense weeds and quickly ran into the distance. The wolf cavalry immediately said, "Quick, catch her! If you catch her, you will definitely find the other two." ”
A group of wolf cavalry immediately changed direction and pursued Baste.
Just as Bath was about to run out of energy, a fire suddenly ignited in the grassland in front of him. Due to the dry weather, the fire quickly spread, and in a matter of moments, a large area of grassland was set on fire, and thick smoke billowed out of the surrounding area.
As soon as she saw the fire, Baste was overjoyed and hurriedly quickened her pace. The werewolves in the back were also very excited, although they didn't understand why it suddenly caught fire, but a fire meant that there were people, and they were sure that Raymond must be over there.
Just as the werewolves continued to approach the place where the fire started, on the other side of the grassland, the cavalry who came out of the Broken Sword Gorge Fortress also noticed something unusual.
After wandering around for a long time but not finding a single orc, the cavalry captain was anxious. He was surprised and delighted at the sight of the fire, and hurriedly gave an order, and the cavalry immediately rushed to that side.
The closer they got to the fire, the thicker the smoke became, and the werewolf chasing Baste soon discovered that she had lost sight of Catwoman. However, they also heard the faint sound of horses' hooves coming from the other side of the smoke.
A wolf cavalryman was about to remind his commander that this was close to the Broken Sword Gorge fortress and that he should be careful. But I saw the leading werewolf pull out his scimitar and howl: "They are there, rush!"
For the brave and fearless werewolf, it didn't matter what was on the other side of the smoke, just split him in two with the knife in his hand, and nothing would be a problem.
As a result, the wolf cavalry instigated the war wolves under their crotches and galloped into the thick smoke like the wind.
On the other side, the cavalry also heard the characteristic footsteps of the wolf as it ran. One of the cavalrymen hurriedly said, "Captain, this fire is too weird. We've found the orcs, so let's go back and report it. ”
"No, it's too late, turning around now will only be chased by the wolf cavalry. The captain shook his head, then raised the spear in his hand and shouted, "Prepare for battle!"
As a result, all the hoplites raised their weapons one after another, and at the same time accelerated their horses, ready for the oncoming onslaught.
In the next moment, one after another war wolves flew out like demons emerging from the dense fog, leaping out with a strong murderous aura. The wolf cavalry saw the human cavalry, and the surprise in his eyes flashed, and then he was filled with bloodthirsty fanaticism.
They let out a whining howl and rushed forward with their scimitars in their hands. The two teams collided in an instant, and a dull sound of falling to the ground and the clashing of blades sounded in succession, and countless blood splattered in all directions.
Just as the humans and the orcs were in a tight fight, on the other side of the battlefield, Raymond and the three of them hid in the grass, watching the encounter they had created.
"Oh my God, young master, you are amazing. Bathter's mouth was wide open for a long time, but she forgot that she had almost died because of Raymond's plan.
"Okay, the worries are completely solved, and now we can slowly climb the mountain. Raymond whistled.
He turned his head to look at the Broken Sword Gorge fortress, where it was very bright, and the sound of horns could be faintly heard. Apparently because of this fire, the entire fortress has decided that the orcs are ready to invade.
"Alright, let's go. Raymond patted the two of them and stepped back first.
Lutz followed, and in a moment, a large hand reached out from the grass and dragged Baste, who was still staring with her mouth wide open.
After the hustle and bustle of the middle of the night, the chaotic grassland gradually calmed down, and the flames gradually extinguished, leaving only a thin cloud of smoke in the air.
At this moment, looking down from the place where the three of Raymond were, where the battle took place last night, only some figures as small as ants could be seen wandering, and at the same time, there were still cavalry galloping out of the Broken Sword Gorge fortress, rushing everywhere.
Those wolf cavalry may have been completely wiped out, and the people in the fortress have probably discovered that the so-called orc army is actually only that wolf cavalry squadron.
But for Raymond, it doesn't matter anymore. By this time, they had reached the top of the mountain, and on the other side was a world completely different from the northern wasteland.
"Young master, turning over here is the Kingdom of Dinar. At this time, Luz walked up to Raymond and said.
Raymond, who was looking back at the prairie, nodded and turned away. Suddenly, the scenery on the other side of the mountain, which was completely different from the desolate northern wasteland, full of life and greenery, came into his eyes.
"Wow, that's beautiful. Baste couldn't help but exclaim.
From the top of the mountain, the rich plains below are a beautiful carpet of deep green dotted with red and yellow colors, and a large river swims in between, and small towns can be seen faintly on the riverside.
Just then, the morning sun slowly peeked out of the clouds, and in the sunlight, the surface of the river shimmered, as if covered with a layer of transparent glass.
This is a scene that Raymond has never left the northern wilderness, and it is truly an unforgettable sight.
"Below is Dinar's Kaveh. Lutz said.
"Are we going to such a beautiful place? Baste couldn't wait to urge.
Suddenly, Raymond's heart was full of pride, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a loud shout: "I'm here!"
The shouts echoed in the mountains, evolving into countless echoes mixed together, ** swinging, making people's blood boil when they heard it.
Bastet's eyes sparkled, and she excitedly put her hands to her mouth to make a amplified sound, ready to scream like Raymond. As soon as an "ah" came to his mouth, he was covered by a big hand.
Beamon said calmly, "Be quiet, do you want to attract Dinard's patrol?"
"Hmm... Hmm—" Baster's eyes rolled upward, glaring at the incomprehensible man with a murderous gaze as she whined in protest.
"It's not fair, why can the young master, I'll just..."
"Hahaha, let's go. Raymond rubbed Bathter's head, stretched comfortably, and walked down the hill.
Then, Luz followed with Catwoman, who was punching and kicking him.
There, there's their real stage!
