king of the castle

Chapter 204

Since entering Kent, the surrounding environment has begun to change. 【】The original fertile black soil has turned into dry sandy soil, and the wind will blow up dust all over the sky.It was only when Roger came here that he realized that Anna was right. It was very difficult to grow food in such a place.

"It is said that a magister cast a forbidden spell in Kent hundreds of years ago, which turned this fertile land into this." Eddie rode beside Roger and explained to him in a low voice. Said: "Except for a narrow strip near the coast where some food can be grown in Kent, only the Green Sea Forest in the south is normal."

Ever since Roger let Eddie be his butler, the young man has worked harder than before.Before setting off, he learned a lot about Kent County through various channels, and introduced a few words to Roger whenever he had the opportunity along the way.

"This magister who killed thousands of knives actually ruined my brother's territory like this!" Roger said heartbrokenly: "If I meet this bastard, I will definitely beat him so hard that even his mother can't recognize him!"

Seeing Roger gritted his teeth so fiercely, Eddie also felt a little funny.The great magister has been dead for hundreds of years. How could Roger meet him? When Eddie came, it was just the master expressing his dissatisfaction, but he didn't know that Roger was not joking. No matter how powerful a magician is, he sees them as scum.

Eddie ignored Roger's complaints, and then introduced to him: "But the Green Sea Forest has always been the territory of the elves, and humans are absolutely not welcome by them. If you enter the Green Sea Forest without authorization, you may be shot and killed by the elves on the spot In addition, the dwarves and orcs in northern Kent are not easy to mess with. The dwarves are better, as long as you don’t provoke them, you can live in peace. The orcs are vicious guys, and they often burn and kill in groups in Kent Looting, many villages have been completely destroyed by them."

Roger felt that no matter from which point of view, Kent County is not the kind of place suitable for him to take his subordinates to moles women, he couldn't help but sighed and said: "It's a hard life, I finally got the territory, but It's such a poor land."

However, Roger has always been an optimist. After looking back at the two carriages in which Master Addison and Tom and Jerry were sitting, his mood improved a lot.As long as these three people are there, plus some suitable hype methods, it will not be difficult to make Kent Town prosperous again.

Roger was thinking about his own wishful thinking, when he suddenly noticed that there was dust flying in front of him, and it seemed that a large group of people was moving.At the same time, the knight who was in charge of protecting Roger and the others also discovered this situation, and immediately ordered two cavalrymen to ride their horses to investigate.

On the plain as far as the eye can see, the smoke looks very close, but it is actually some distance away from Roger and the others. The two cavalry went for a while before riding back to report to their chief: "Knight Silver, there are dozens of people ahead. An orc is besieging some humans in what looks like a passing caravan!"

"Orcs!" Roger was excited when he heard the news. Orcs are the most powerful humanoid race on the Continent of Em, and according to the castle hub, their soul power is also very strong.For Roger, who has been consuming his soul power recently in order to use the training ground to improve his strength, these orcs are a welcome gift.Dozens of human orcs, if they can all be wiped out, they will surely collect a lot of soul power.Coupled with the remaining power of the soul, it may be enough to build the tower of the magician.

Thinking of this, Roger immediately said to Knight Silver with a serious expression: "Knight Silver, we are already in Kent County. As the lord here, I am obliged to ensure the safety of everyone in the territory, so... I decided to personally Go out and destroy those orcs who are doing evil!"

"Baron Li, your courage is admirable." Knight Silver was not moved by Roger's words, but said to him coldly: "However, the task I received is to send you safely to Kent Town, As for the safety of other people on the road, it is not within the scope of responsibility of me and my subordinates!"

Roger had lived in the Duke's mansion for several months, and the rumors that he and Miss Anna had a very close relationship had already been flying all over the sky.Gossip is inherently human, even in the world of Torenzo.Miss Anna danced with Baron Lee every day, the two were very close when they were on the Lund Peninsula, and Miss Anna did not hesitate to drive Mr. Barton away in order to protect Baron Lee. In a corner, even the Duke's Guard is no exception.

And the young, beautiful, smart and capable Anna was originally the idol of many young officers and soldiers in the Duke's Guard, and this Knight of Silver was one of them.That's why Xi Fu owed Roger all the favors. If it wasn't for carrying out the order, he wouldn't be willing to face this guy who stole Miss Anna's heart.

Seeing that Roger actually wanted to save those businessmen, Seafo immediately gave him a warning without hesitation.In the eyes of the knight, Roger is just a little boy who made his fortune by clinging to Miss Anna. It is already very face-saving to protect him and go to the territory by himself, but this little boy actually wants to order himself and his subordinates to do things for him, there is no way!

What Seaver didn't expect was that what Roger was waiting for was his words.In Roger's eyes, those orcs are all the power of the soul, how can these guys of the Duke's guard spoil his good deeds.So he didn't care about Xi Fu's ceremony at all, and just smiled slightly: "Very well, then we will each perform our duties. I will save those businessmen, and you and your subordinates will stay to protect the others!"

I didn't expect Roger to be so stubborn, and Silver was also very surprised.Just as he was dazed, Roger had already ridden in the direction of the smoke and dust ahead.Because they didn't get the lord's order, except for Bonnie who urged the horse to catch up, the others stayed where they were.

"Hmph, you bastard, I want you to be capable!" Xi Fu hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to stay and protect the others.He didn't believe that Roger was the kind of fool who didn't want to die, and would rush to die without hesitation in the face of dozens of orcs.

"You want to save those businessmen?" Bonnie urged her horse to catch up with Roger and asked, "Why don't you call the Duke's Guard?"

"Did you forget that I told you that the castle hub needs the power of the soul?" Roger smiled and said to Bonnie: "And what I can do by myself, why should those guys from the Duke's Guard be good people? "

Bonnie is not good at these scheming things. Since Roger said so, she will not object. The two urged the horse to run for a while, and immediately went to the front not far after turning over a small mound. There was fierce fighting.

The defenders are obviously humans, and they rely on the fortifications surrounded by carriages to resist the enemy's attack.However, the situation of these humans is not good. There are already several corpses lying on the ground, and many of them are wounded.

And those who besieged this human caravan were some big green-skinned men.These guys are strong, with thick browbones, upturned nostrils, and sharp fangs protruding from thick lips. Although they look like three parts of humans, the other seven points are more like beasts. They are the most barbaric of the so-called intelligent race. orc.

Orcs only use wild animal skins to wrap around their bodies casually, even if they are wearing clothes, and they also have various types of weapons in their hands.Some orcs hold heavy swords and chain flails from the human world, others have maces made by orcs themselves, and more orcs only have thick wooden sticks or even the thick leg bones of monitor lizards. As for the high-level goods orcs like the tools, there is no such thing.

But don't let these guys have different weapons, but one thing in common is that they are all very fierce.Especially when fighting, the fearless style and strong body of the orcs give them an advantage in fighting.If it weren't for the human caravan with its carriage cover and sophisticated weapons, it would have been slaughtered by the orcs long ago.

As soon as Roger and Bonnie appeared, they attracted the attention of some orcs.The few orcs closest to them immediately changed their targets, howling and rushing towards the two of them.For orcs, both horses and humans are the best food, especially a human female with thin skin and tender meat on the horse, which is one of their favorite foods.

"Meat!" the orcs yelled in vague Common Tongue, and rushed towards Roger and Bonnie.

These guys are a race with extremely amazing endurance. Although they can't run a horse in a short distance, they can catch up with the target after the horse loses strength for a long distance.These orcs had exactly this idea. They had to keep chasing and chasing until the two human horses were exhausted, and they would naturally be able to catch up to them.

But where will Roger and Bonnie escape?Roger just had a thought, and two rows of crossbowmen had already appeared in front of him.Facing the orcs dozens of paces away, the crossbowmen pulled their strings without hesitation and fired deadly arrows at the target.

The orcs didn't expect the crossbowmen to appear at all. Before their dull brains could figure out what happened, the sharp arrows had already shot at them.Orcs without any armor could only hold their weapons in front of their faces to protect the most vulnerable parts.As for other parts of the body, the orcs can only rely on their thick skin to protect themselves.

However, at such a short distance, the arrows fired by the longbowmen and light crossbowmen were extremely powerful. Even if the orc's skin was comparable to the thickness of cowhide, it was impossible to completely block the arrow's attack.The sharp arrows shot into the bodies of the orcs without any suspense, and green blood flowers bloomed on them, making these guys howl loudly in pain.

After the first round of shooting, Roger harvested the soul power of several orcs.What Castle Hub said is indeed correct, the soul power of orcs is much stronger than that of humans, which can be seen from the bright and large light balls that appear after their death.

However, the vitality of the orcs is indeed very tenacious, and there are still several orcs who survived the rain of arrows and continued to charge towards Roger.The death of the same kind did not frighten these savages, but aroused their bloodthirsty nature.Only ten steps away from the two humans in front, the surviving orcs rushed up with red eyes, only wanting to kill Roger and Bonnie, chop them up, and bring them back to the camp for a good meal.

However, what the orcs met was Roger, and it was doomed that their wishes would not come true.Just when the orcs were about to rush in front of Roger, they suddenly found that there was a solid wall of sharp spear points in front of them.These dull-witted guys hadn't figured out what to do, and they had already bumped into it.

Those holding these iron spears are Roger's iron spear soldiers.Although the strength of a single iron spear cannot match that of a strong orc, but in a tight formation, they can rely on collective strength to stand against the enemy.The huge impact force of the orcs made the Iron Spear soldiers in the front row back involuntarily, but the soldiers behind them immediately exerted their strength at the same time, and soon the soldiers in the front row stopped moving.

At the same time, the sharp iron spears pierced deeply into the bodies of the orcs, and the more the orcs who were still alive moved forward, the more iron spears pierced into their bodies.When the orcs who continued to move forward stopped, each orc was pierced by at least four or five iron spears. No matter how tenacious the orc's vitality was, it was impossible to pose any threat to the iron spearmen.

At this time, it was the time for the sword warriors to attack. They swung their long swords and slashed at the half-dead orcs, beheading their ugly heads, and completely ended the lives of these robbers.

Seeing more humans suddenly appearing in Roger's direction, the other orcs also howled and rushed over.There is no such thing as planned attack and retreat for these simple-minded fellows.What the orcs advocate is to attack without hesitation, as long as they find an enemy, they will rush to cut down the opponent, or be cut down by the opponent.As for retreating when the enemy is strong, only cowardly humans would do it, and great orcs would not do such a thing.

For Roger, it is best for the orcs to take the initiative to attack.The soldiers under him quickly lined up, waiting for a head-on blow to these desperate guys.The bows and crossbows have already begun to attack other orcs. After they gave up the siege of the caravan, they are definitely the best targets.

Ever since he knew that his territory was not peaceful, Roger began to let the castle hub train soldiers.Although in order to save the power of the soul to build other castle buildings, the castle hub did not train soldiers at full speed, but during this time, there were nearly [-] soldiers under Roger.

This number of soldiers is nothing in a large-scale battle, but it is more than enough to deal with dozens of orcs.The crossbowmen intercepted and killed the orcs from a long distance, the tight formation of the iron spear soldiers contained the crazy charge of the orcs, and the longsword warriors turned to attack the single orcs in groups of three or four, fighting against the orcs in this desolate land. The orcs launched a brutal massacre.

Maybe dozens of orcs are an invincible enemy when facing a small caravan, but when they encounter two hundred soldiers who are well-disciplined, well-trained, and not weak in personal strength, their disadvantages will soon be exposed.Without a unified command, the orcs who would only swarm up chaotically received a fatal blow. Except for two particularly timid guys who escaped when they saw the opportunity, the other orcs were all wiped out by Roger.And the price Roger paid was nothing more than five deaths and eleven injuries.This loss is nothing compared to the soul power he got.

After solving the orc threat, Roger turned his attention to the caravan not far away.
