Chapter 289 Hunting the Scouts

"These damned humans dare to kill the mighty Blackwater orcs!" Hearing the news, Jushi squeezed the tin wine glass in his hand and shouted viciously: "Send more scouts, we must send They find out! I want to kill all these humans, make them all into jerky, and avenge the dead clansmen!"

Jushi's idea is very simple. These human beings can kill hundreds of their own people, so their number will definitely not be small, at least several thousand people. 【】Such a large team should be easy to spot. As long as you send more scouts, you can find them, and the next thing will be easy.

However, things did not go as smoothly as Jushi thought. The scout team had been sent out for several days, but no trace of the human army was found at all.Not only that, but even some scouting teams disappeared without a trace, as if the stone had never sent them out.

The golden wasteland has a harsh environment, and the orcs often leave home for more than ten days or even dozens of days to look for prey.These scout teams only left for a few days, and there was no problem with most of the orcs.But for Jushi, this problem is bigger.All the scouts were handpicked by him, the smartest of the orcs.Before the scouts set off, Jushi took care of them again and again, regardless of whether they found anything, they had to report back within the stipulated time, and all the scout teams had never been late before.

But right now, seven scouts have not come back to report on time, which made Jushi faintly feel a little uneasy.The great chief of the orcs had a strange feeling, as if the golden wasteland, which was as safe as their own back garden to the orcs, had changed into a huge trap that could swallow the lives of the orcs at any time.

The continuous disappearance of the scouts made Jushi very distressed. He pulled the few hairs on his head and meditated all day long, and he became a big bald man in a few days.

"Huh... killed another twelve." Roger took the soldiers back to the castle, and said to Bonnie beside him, "Which scout team is this? Eight or nine?"

"Eleven!" The female knight replied lightly: "A total of 150 and three orcs!"

Roger shrugged so-called: "What's the matter, anyway, this is just an appetizer, and sooner or later all those orcs will be killed!"

Knowing that the orcs were all gathered near Tallinn Lake, Roger did not rush to launch a general attack, but moved within two or three days away from the lake, intercepting and killing all the orc scouts that approached.For Roger, who had hippogryphs patrolling day and night in the sky and nightmare beasts that could maneuver at high speed, it was not difficult to intercept orc scouts.

In the past few days, Roger has killed many orc scouts and absorbed some soul power.After the high-level weapons factory and high-level barracks are built, these soul powers can just be used to train the latest arms.In fact, Roger has been working nearby to eliminate orc scouts recently. Apart from absorbing some soul power, he is waiting for the high-level weapon factory and high-level barracks to be completed.

The advanced weapons factory can not only produce sharper and more types of weapons, but also replace the role of the armor factory. It can produce solid armor for soldiers, which is a prerequisite for training new arms.Needless to say, the advanced barracks, without it, it is impossible to train new arms.

In fact, Roger learned from Castle Hub that the advanced barracks have another function, which is to give soldiers a certain degree of wisdom.Although these soldiers are absolutely obedient to Roger, they lack a lot of initiative and flexibility.For example, Roger ordered the soldiers to stick to a certain line of defense. They would not take half a step back even if they died in battle.But if the enemy retreats, the soldiers will only stick to the line of defense, and will not take this opportunity to charge back and chase the enemy.

With a certain degree of wisdom, soldiers can act better and more flexibly according to the situation on the battlefield.If the enemy is powerful, they will retreat a little later to preserve their strength; if the enemy retreats, they will also chase and kill for a while while ensuring the safety of the defense line, so that they can exert greater strength in battle.

Roger is very interested in soldiers with intelligence. This is clearly the artificial intelligence system that has been hyped up on the earth!If all the soldiers have a certain amount of wisdom, then his strength is equivalent to another level. Even if it is only for this reason, he has to wait for the two buildings to be completed before launching a general attack.

In the next few days, Roger's life was relatively comfortable.Every day, under the vigilance of the Hippogryph, they avoid the relatively large number of orc tribes, and specialize in raiding those scout teams that are alone, absorbing a little energy for training new troops.Sleeping in the comfortable room of the castle tavern at night, accompanied by the beautiful and hot female knight, the life is very comfortable.

When others came to the Golden Wasteland to exterminate the orcs, they not only risked their lives, but also suffered a lot. Roger seemed to come here for an outing, and he didn't know how much he would be surprised when he said it.

Although it took more time to build the buildings of the fourth-level castle, after Roger hunted down the No. 20 six orc scouts, the high-level weapon factory and high-level barracks were finally completed.

These were the first two buildings to be built in the fourth-level castle, and Roger excitedly took Bonnie to see them first.

The scale of the Advanced Weapons Factory was at least three times larger than that of the Advanced Weapons Factory. Two rows of red-hot blacksmithing stoves emitted raging flames, and people could feel the scorching heat even before they got close. , although Roger has not ordered any weapons and armor to be made, but the advanced weapons factory is still busy.Many castle civilians shuttle back and forth in it, and it really has the taste of an assembly line in a large factory on earth.

As a knight, Bonnie is more concerned with the high-level barracks.Standing at the gate of the barracks are two statues of warriors, taller and mightier than before.The interior of the barracks has also expanded a lot, and all kinds of training equipment are neatly placed in rows, and it has the iron-blooded ability unique to the barracks, which makes Roger and the female knight very satisfied.

Looking at these two majestic buildings, Roger was in a good mood.In all honesty, he wasn't satisfied with the scale of the castle and the appearance of its buildings before, and it wasn't until now that he really felt that the imagined castle should be like this.

"Sure enough, they are all high-end buildings, so it feels good." Roger smiled and said to Bonnie beside him: "I think the junior tavern should be upgraded next, so that the rooms will definitely become more comfortable. By then we...hehe !"

Bonnie was very dissatisfied with Roger's idea of ​​pleasure, and gave him a hard look: "Don't think about it, we are about to start a full-scale war with the orcs. It is important to improve our strength first!"

In fact, Roger is just talking, he is not confused enough to disregard safety for the sake of enjoyment.He smiled slightly at the stern-faced female knight, and quickly ordered to the castle hub: "Start training new soldiers!"
