king of the castle

Chapter 285

As Roger went deep into the golden wasteland, the Hippogryph patrolling in the sky finally sent back good news, and found a small orc tribe more than 30 miles ahead. 【】

Because hippogryphs have limited intelligence, Roger can only know about two hundred orcs.Unlike the small group of orcs encountered before, the number of orcs in this small tribe has doubled several times, and it is not so easy to eliminate them.

In order to find out the enemy's situation, Roger decided to go to the orc tribe to find out the enemy's situation.He and Bonnie advanced on foot, approaching the orc horde cautiously downwind.

At this time, the place where Roger was located had been deep into the Golden Wasteland for several days. This place had always been the territory of the orcs, so these green-skinned monsters seemed very careless, and only sent out a few guard posts around the tribe.Even the pitiful few sentries almost lazily hid in the leeward and fell asleep. Roger almost didn't spend much trouble before he came to the vicinity of the tribe.

Roger and Bonnie hid in a long grass, looked cautiously at the orc tribe, and were immediately taken aback by what they saw.Not to mention that there are not many orc tribes, but there are a lot of various supplies piled up in the open space among them.What kind of food and cloth, barrels of ale, all kinds of weapons, armor and shields are available, making this orc tribe more like a market.

These materials were all produced in the human world, and it was obvious that these orcs snatched them back.Roger and Bonnie exchanged glances, and they both saw unexpected expressions on each other's faces.

"Come on, let's find the den of thieves." Roger leaned closer to Bonnie's ear and whispered: "This orc tribe must be a professional robber."

The hot air from Roger's mouth blew gently on the female knight's sensitive earlobes, covering her pretty face with a faint red cloud.Bonnie wouldn't mind being so close to Roger if it was normal, but now that the battle is imminent, the female knight still didn't want him to make her distracted, so she hurriedly stepped aside and asked in a low voice: "What are you going to do?" manage?"

"Cold salad!" Roger said another word that Bonnie didn't understand. The female knight frowned and was about to ask, but Roger made a silent gesture to her, signaling Bonnie to continue monitoring the orc camp.

Going in the direction Roger pointed, the female knight was immediately stunned by the situation in front of her.A human came out of a tent with several particularly burly orcs. Judging from the calm appearance of the human, this guy is definitely not a captive of the orcs, but more like their guest.

Bonnie looked at Roger in horror, wanting to know from him why this happened.However, Roger also looked blank, and just signaled the female knight to wait patiently, what the hell is this human being doing.

"Bat, all the harvest of our tribe is here." An orc pointed to the supplies piled up in the center of the camp and said, "However, there are still some tribesmen who have not returned, and they should have a lot of harvest!"

After hearing what the orc said, Roger and Bonnie looked at each other, both of them knew that the clansman in this guy's mouth should be the few orcs who were intercepted and killed before.Those guys have become food for the corpse bugs, and there is no way they will come back.

"Bat" was just a nickname for that human being, and of course his real name couldn't be called that.However, you must be careful when dealing with orcs. It would be best not to use your real name.After all, having an affair with these public enemies of mankind is not a trivial matter. If it is exposed, it will become the object of rejection by the entire human society. Bats don't want to fall into that situation.

Hearing from the chief of the orcs that some goods were coming soon, Bat was not happy but frowned and said, "Why is it so late? I reported to the chief a few days ago that humans have sent troops to deal with the orcs. Didn’t the great chief inform you if you prepared earlier?”

"The great chief has sent someone to tell me the news!" The orc in the head said in a vague common language: "Strong orcs are not afraid of the human army, they are not our opponents at all! I will wait until all the tribes come back." Just leave here and go to Tallinn Lake to join the Great Chief!"

Both Roger and Bonnie were taken aback when they heard this, and their faces were full of surprise.When Roger saw that this human had a connection with the orcs, he thought he was just a greedy businessman who came here just to buy the things that the orcs robbed at a low price.Who would have thought that this guy would even know the news that Roger had come to exterminate the orcs. Obviously, he was not an ordinary businessman, and must have connections with the high-level officials of the kingdom.

Roger glanced at Bonnie, his gaze already filled with killing intent.Originally, it was already a death penalty for this businessman to collude with the orcs who harmed human beings, but it is even more forgivable to do something that is not good for him.Roger has already decided that he must arrest this human being and torture him later, and ask him where he got the news, and deliberately leaked it to the orcs to deal with him.

But to deal with this human, we must first eliminate this orc tribe.Roger observed the surrounding situation and quickly made a battle plan.

A sentry orc was chatting and lying in the long grass to bask in the sun, when he suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly, and then there was a rush of horseshoes.

The orcs with a slow mind didn't even think that someone was attacking the tribe. They thought it was the tribe who went out to "hunt" and snatched back a large group of horses.The orc sentinel stood up excitedly, and waved in the direction of the sound of horseshoes.However, it was too late when it discovered that the horses that were galloping towards it were all riding humans. The light cavalry who bore the brunt swung their sabers and passed by the orc. Several terrible wounds appeared on its body in an instant, and it remained silent. fell to the ground, and died.

After the light cavalry eliminated the orc sentry, they rushed directly to the orc camp without stopping.At this time, the orcs in the camp had heard the sound of horseshoes, and they got out of their tents to look in the direction of the sound.As soon as the orcs came out of the tent, they were greeted by a wave of arrows.

Light cavalry all carry short bows with them. Although short bows are not as lethal as long bows, they can still easily penetrate the tough skin of orcs with the help of galloping horses.

Many orcs had the same thought as the dead sentinel, thinking that the clansmen had brought back a large number of horses, all of which were just out for fun, and never expected to be attacked.Unprepared, many orcs were shot by sharp arrows.Although most of the orcs' injuries were not fatal, they had already caused chaos in the camp.

Some orcs roared and rushed towards the cavalry, waving all kinds of weapons, just wanting to smash these humans who dared to risk the orc warriors into a pulp; other orcs threw crude javelins at the light cavalry, Hope to suppress the momentum of the other party's reunion; some orcs yelled in the camp to warn others of their kind who were still in the tent.

In short, the orc camp was in chaos in the blink of an eye. Even Roger, who summoned cavalry to attack them, did not expect that these guys with strong limbs and simple minds would be so chaotic when they were suddenly attacked.

However, the more chaotic the orcs were, the better for Roger. With a thought, he summoned several magic apprentices to his side and ordered them to shoot flaming arrows at the orc camp.

Although the flame arrow is only the lowest level of killing magic, even if it hits the target, the ignited flame can be easily extinguished, it is really not a powerful magic.However, this kind of magic was more than enough to set fire, and several orc tents were already on fire in a blink of an eye.

The orc chief was happily hugging an equally burly female orc in the tent, and the noise outside did not attract his attention at first.After all, the orcs are used to quarreling, and sometimes two orcs would fight for a place near the bonfire, causing the entire tribe of orcs to make a lot of noise, so the chief didn't take the yelling of his subordinates to heart, and tried hard to fight against the orcs. Beauty is working hard.

However, by coincidence, a flaming arrow shot at the chief's tent. When the flames burned half of the tent, the chief finally realized that the camp was under attack, and quickly got off the female orc without even fastening his pants. Just rushed out.

"Don't panic, it's just a few dozen light cavalry!" The orc chief had rich experience in fighting, and immediately determined the number and type of the enemy, and shouted to his subordinates: "These humans dare not attack our camp. It's okay! You guys go put out the damn fire!"

The appearance of the chief restored some order to the orcs. A dozen orcs were ordered to put out the burning tent, but they were attacked by arrows just after they took a few steps.

This time the attack came from another direction. Hundreds of crossbowmen shot at the orc camp.The power of the longbow and light crossbow is much stronger than that of the shortbow. The first round of shooting killed more than a dozen orcs. In addition, many orcs were seriously injured and fell to the ground cursing humans for being despicable.

"Where did these enemies come from? Where are all our sentinels dead?" The orc chief had a premonition that something was wrong with the crossbowman who suddenly appeared behind him, and hurriedly shouted: "Orc warriors, attack!" , kill those crossbowmen and avenge the dead clansmen!"

The orcs are a brutal and bloodthirsty race. Under the instigation of the orc chief, the orcs' eyes turned red, and they picked up everything around them that could be used for low-grade arrows, and shot at shields, pot covers, bed boards, and even the corpses of the same kind. , completely ignoring the sharp arrows that were coming towards him, and rushed towards the crossbowman screaming.

The orc chief took the lead and rushed to the forefront.It has been dealing with humans for a long time, and it knows very well that as long as it rushes to the crossbowmen, it and its warriors can easily tear these fragile humans to pieces!

However, the orc chief soon discovered that today was destined to be a sad day for him.
