I traveled through time and became a slave, and the noble lady was obsessed with me

Chapter 431 Traces of Orcs
After leaving Neverwinter Fortress, all the buildings I encountered were military buildings, each with their own functions.

Before night fell, this team arrived at the first camp they passed on time.

A dilapidated military town.

Only a few months ago, this place was not like this. It used to be quite prosperous.

After all, it has been at least several decades since orcs have not attacked this place.

In addition, it is not far from Neverwinter Fortress, and this is the only way to pass through Deep Valley City.

Nearly a thousand people lived here before, but they were all destroyed by the orcs, and everything was burned down in a fire.

Several incidents happened in a row, and there wasn't even a higher city wall here.

Fortunately, the foundation is still there. As long as there is enough time, the military town can be rebuilt.

Everyone settled in the town, set up a simple greenhouse, and began to prepare for tonight's dinner.

The labor here, due to the hard work required, can still maintain three meals a day.

However, in the morning and noon, I could only eat dry bread and water, and only at this time in the evening could I have a hot meal.

At the deepest part of the team, a simple tent was Chen Fan's room tonight.

Although the brigade has stopped, they, the officers, cannot stop yet.

Points must be counted every day to ensure the integrity of the team.

Fortunately, Leonard was here and he helped Chen Fan solve many tedious daily chores.

Just talking about logistics ability, Leonard, the old grain officer, is indeed the most skilled in the team.

This gives Chen Fan more time to deal with other things.

After walking around the military town, Chen Fan began to make arrangements for the team to stay and continue to rebuild the town.

In fact, there is no need to make any arrangements. We have already agreed with several colleagues that their soldiers will be arranged to stay in this military town at the front.

A team of two hundred people and a few hundred laborers are enough.

There are woods not far away, so there is no need to transport materials to build the town, just use local materials.

Many soldiers wish they were the only ones left here.

This place is very close to Neverwinter Fortress. If something happens, it won't take long to run back and seek shelter.

Although there are dangers, it is better than those one or two hundred kilometers in the middle of nowhere, with no villages in sight and no towns in sight.

When Chen Fan returned to the tent, he met Leonard who came to report the results of today's counting.

Most of the troops were there, but there were a few laborers missing from the team. They might have gotten scared on the way and escaped when no one was paying attention.

This kind of thing is not surprising at all.

With a team of thousands of people and so many oxcarts, no one has time to pay attention to the situation of every laborer.

Anyway, it's just a few labors, this kind of thing is very normal.

After simply listening to the report, it is considered that the day's official work has been completed, and then you can eat and rest.

What you need to do next is basically this, repeat all the way.

……

The night gradually deepened, and there was silence in the camp.

While everyone was sleeping, a few black figures quietly touched the shadows not far from the military town.

The orc with sharp animal ears was lying here, looking at the camp in front of him.

Just after taking a few glances, there was a sound of snoring next to me. I turned around and saw that the pig orc with a pig head had already started to doze off.

This made the fox orc so angry that he kicked him directly.

As a result, the other party didn't feel anything at all, and continued to sleep soundly. He still wanted to take action, but there was a non-yin and yang voice next to him to persuade him.

"That's what these pigs are like. They eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and have no brains at all." "Of course, if it weren't for this, we probably wouldn't be here."

The moonlight slowly shone on the two people talking. They were two fox orcs with long tails.

The fox tribe orc kicked him twice in anger, and then turned his attention to the human camp in front of him again.

"How's it going? Is the idea this time exciting?"

The fox orc who had just spoken out to persuade asked, and heard a confident laugh.

"Haha, the human race this time is even easier to deal with than last time."

"I arrested a few laborers, and after a few scares, they said everything before I even used the charm."

"This logistics unit is all made up of new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. It seems that they were dragged here to die after just a few days of training."

"The leader of their team seems to be a noble of the human race, with some status. It would be best if they could be captured alive."

"But the laborer's status is too low and he knows too little. We haven't yet figured out which route they will take next."

"I will look for opportunities to sneak in in the next few days and see if I can lurk next to the leader."

Under the night, the two fox orcs looked at the camp in the distance and planned for a long time.

……

The days that followed seemed a bit boring. We were not far from Neverwinter Fortress, and the orcs didn't seem to dare to get close.

Chen Fan, on the other hand, continued to follow the original plan, leaving a team of two hundred people seconded and a number of laborers behind every time he walked out of a town.

A few days passed, and everyone had already walked one-third of the way.

At this moment, what everyone had been worried about finally happened.

Chen Fan, who was walking forward, suddenly heard a commotion coming from the team behind him.

"An orc is attacking!"

Upon hearing the news, Chen Fan immediately ordered everyone to stop on the spot. Jarvis took the gladiators first and rode to the back to see what was going on.

After a while, Jarvis came back on horseback.

"There were a dozen orcs who attacked several donkey carts, killed several laborers, and wanted to set fire to them."

"Fortunately, we arrived quickly enough. When they saw us going to support them, they withdrew first."

This was a small sneak attack and the damage caused was not large.

But it made everyone nervous, and they kept looking around, fearing that the next moment, orcs would jump out of the woods on the roadside.

The orcs succeeded in harassing the advance of the group.

"Let the team get closer together, and you will patrol a few more times."

Chen Fan had no choice but to slow down the entire team in order to gain safety first.

The road ahead was safe, which made everyone feel a little too relaxed, and the queue was too long.

This led to the orcs finding a gap in their team.

Slow down, there's no way around it.

After all, at this time, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so we can only defend passively.

It was only when no one was around that Chen Fan sneered.

It seemed that the orcs finally began to lose control and were about to step into their own trap.

This is a hunt, but we don’t know yet who is the prey.

However, Chen Fan has always been a very patient hunter when it comes to hunting.
