Chapter 44 The Courage to Fight

Chapter 44 The Courage to Fight

In the snowy forest, a group of barbarian warriors began to cut down pine wood to build a ballista turret that could be lifted and moved by manpower.Another dozen or so barbarians are trying to fiddle with ballistas.By the time they had all six ballistas in place, it was almost time for battle.

Bartom stood on the tower, his face sinking like water, and he said bitterly: "These damned barbarians, the Legion of Fallen Leaf City will kill them all!"

Rhode next to him said, "The barbarians are very smart. I hope they can make a wise choice this time."

Bartom turned to look at Dr. Cole, and asked with concern, "How is it? Are you ready here?"

Dr. Cole nodded expressionlessly, and said indifferently, "I brought all the barbarian slaves in the pharmacy, and I explained to them carefully what to do."

Rhode said to him with a smile: "Master Doctor, as long as you can get through this difficult time, I will double the compensation for the savage slave you lost. I promise to find a more beautiful slave slave for you."

Cole sighed, looked at the barbarian slaves who were holding their eyes in a ball and shivering, shook his head and said, "I put a lot of effort into cultivating them... Forget it, you can use it, you don't need to compensate me. ."

The quality of these barbarian female slaves in the pharmacy is good.In terms of body appearance, they are high-quality goods that can be regarded as personal pets, and the market price will never be lower than 300 gold pagodas.Moreover, these barbarians have been carefully trained by Dr. Cole and have the level of medicine practice as a junior pharmacist, which makes their worth doubled, and each can sell for a sky-high price of 1000 gold towers.

Rhodes has been a slave trader for many years, and he also feels that it is a pity to abandon these barbarian slaves.However, the current situation is burning eyebrows. If the town of Braun is attacked by the enemy, the fate of these barbarian slaves is unknown, but they will definitely not be able to keep them.

He stretched out his hand and picked out one of the barbarian slaves, and several adventurers forcibly dragged her out of the comrades, tied her with ropes, tied her with a slipknot, and hung her from the city wall.

The barbarian slave was obviously terrified. She fell down the city wall into the snow, and without undoing the rope buckle, she cried and begged Master Cole to pull her back.

Dr. Cole called to her condescendingly, "Wendy, be obedient, go to the barbarians on the opposite side, and convey my words to them, whether they agree or not, you can come back."

When the barbarian slave heard the master's order, she had to untie the rope buckle and slowly walked towards the barbarian position opposite the city wall.

Rhode's idea was to send barbarian slaves to negotiate with the barbarians on behalf of Braun Town, and asked them why they attacked Braun Town in the Dissa Alliance?Don't they fear the revenge of the Alliance Legion when they do this?Can conditions be made to avoid this bloody conflict?

This slave trader knew very well the barbarians on the other side of the lake. They were oppressed by the Blackfire Tribe and survived in the cracks between the Blackfire Orcs and the Fallen Leaf City. They should not be willing to attack Braun Town.Rhodes believed that the alliance between the barbarians of Braun Lake and the half-orcs of the outer domain was coerced by the other side.

His reason is that there are more than 3000 half-orcs in the outer domain on the opposite side. After deducting half of the coolies, there are less than 2000 combat-ready fighters and butchers, while there are more than 900 barbarian warriors.In terms of force comparison, the orcs present did not have the absolute advantage of crushing 900 barbarian warriors.However, the half-orc leader dared to hand over the ballista to the barbarians, indicating that the half-orcs in the outer domain were not afraid of the barbarians' backlash.Their main force clamped down the barbarian tribes in the rear, taking the women and children of the tribe as hostages.

Coerced barbarian warriors and goblins cannot be of one mind.

Since force was not enough to defeat his opponent, Rhodes wanted to win a chance for the half-elves in Braun Town.He proposed that Braun Town only negotiated with the barbarians on the opposite side, which might make the half-orcs in the outer domain wary of the barbarians and achieve the purpose of dividing and disintegrating them.At worst, negotiation can be used to delay the time, and the food of the orcs and barbarians can be continuously consumed. The longer the delay is, the better it will be for Braun Town.

Having said that, everyone still has expectations for the outcome of the negotiations.After a short discussion, Bartom said that as long as the Orcs and the barbarians allow the residents of Braun Town to evacuate in batches within two days, they can leave Braun Town and the materials and food inside to each other.

Vertok watched the whole process, and the analysis of the "knowledge puzzle" had not yet been completed, but he felt that Rhodes' idea could be tried.

The barbarian slave who was walking alone in the snow didn't know that she was carrying everyone's hopes. She walked very slowly, almost three steps and turned back. She wanted to see Dr. Cole waving to her and calling herself back.

At this moment, a sharp arrow flew out from the city wall, with a piercing shriek, and shot on the snow beside the barbarian slave's feet, almost piercing her calf.The barbarian slave turned back and found that there was a professional next to Master Cole who was holding a bow and arrow at her, and Master Cole's eyes were indifferent, she understood it instantly, so she staggered to speed up her steps, trying to get out of the range of the bow and arrow as soon as possible. .

The barbarian slave ran faster and faster, and in the end, she was almost running on the snow. She looked like she had regained her freedom, and with a desire to be reunited with her tribe, she ran towards the barbarian warriors opposite.

Seeing this scene, Rhode said lightly with a smile: "No matter how docile barbarians are, they are barbarians. At the juncture of life and death, they will show their true nature. Therefore, we never have to expect barbarians to fight for the alliance." He paused, He turned his head and said to Cole: "If this barbarian slave is unwilling to come back and report the news, I will send another barbarian slave to continue to pass the news for us, but this time, I am afraid I will take her best sister as a hostage. , and also ask the doctor to help me identify the barbarian slaves who acted as messengers and hostages."

Seeing the barbarian slave Wendy running so happily, Cole's face was not very good-looking, and he simply said: "Yes!"

Rhodes and Cole were about to raise their butcher knives at the barbarian slaves in the pharmacy.Vertok didn't know why, so his attention was on the barbarian slave Wendy, and he saw her running to the barbarian camp. Several barbarian warriors stopped her outside, but they didn't hurt her.

After a while, an extraordinarily burly and stocky barbarian warrior walked in front of Wendy, and the two began to talk.

They were far away from the city wall, and they used barbarian language. Vertoc could hear them chattering, but he couldn't understand what they were talking about.

Suddenly, a tall and fat butcher rushed out of the half-orc camp and rushed in the direction of the barbarian slave girl.It took a step of more than ten meters, and the heavy landing caused the snow to crack and fly, like a giant elephant opening its way; it was light and nimble in the air, like an eagle gliding against the snow.

The Orc Butcher's movements are full of unique rhythm, perfectly blending heaviness and lightness, strength and dexterity without being abrupt.It jumped several times in a row and came to the barbarian camp, easily smashing away several barbarian warriors who tried to intercept it, and while Wendy turned her head to watch, in front of the barbarian leader, she used a huge stone ax to kill the barbarian slave girl. The head was cut off.

Vertoc closed his eyes suddenly, the head of the barbarian slave Wendy was separated, the blood in the neck was like a spring, but the tragic picture of the headless body slowly kneeling was lingering in his mind.

For the first time since he woke up, he saw ruthless killing. Even though it was the barbarian slave Wendy who was killed, she hadn't even spoken to Vertoc, but the helplessness and despair on Wendy's face when she was beheaded by the butcher made Verto Ke couldn't bear to look directly, and the ruthlessness of the orc's axe revealed another side of the world to him.

The golden light group in the consciousness world instantly released a large amount of information, which has nothing to do with memory, but a cognition from the will.Vertok couldn't open his eyes, but the knowledge gained by "Puzzle of Knowledge" quickly helped him figure out many things.

Most half-elves didn't notice the strangeness of Vertoc, and the process of the half-orc butcher flying and beheading the barbarian slaves fully demonstrated his terrifying strength.Everyone watched helplessly as it lifted Wendy's head from the snow and walked towards the city wall step by step.

It is 2.3 meters tall, has a fat body, an ugly face, and a hideous face, but it does not have the exposed fangs common to orc warriors on its lower jaw, and a pair of pointed ears seems to have been torn off by something, and its bald head looks a bit funny.The half-elf guards on the city wall watched it enter the ballista's range, and when they walked under the city wall, no one dared to shoot arrows and throw javelins at the butcher.

The half-orc butcher's scarlet eyes contained cruel and crazy killing intent, he glanced at the half-elf on the city wall with contempt, raised his hand and threw Wendy's head onto the city tower.

Anne, the bow warrior of the Qin and Whistle Adventure Group, couldn't bear it anymore, aiming at the orc butcher 40 meters away was a burst of rapid shooting.As if the guards had received the signal, arrows rained down on the Orc Butcher.

The butcher swung the giant axe and moved his body, causing most of the feathered arrows to fail, and a few of the feathered arrows shot on it and bounced off without effect.

"Don't waste the crossbow. This butcher has mastered the heart of the mirror, and also has combat intuition. In addition to the defense provided by the blood rage talent, ordinary crossbows are ineffective against him, and it is difficult for ballistas to hit it." Bartom Stop the half-elf's futile shooting.

The atmosphere on the city wall became bleak, and the half-elf guards stopped one after another, and morale was inevitably low.When the butcher saw that no one was shooting at him, he picked up the giant axe and swaggered back.

Vertoc grabbed a war bow and two feather arrows from the half-elf beside him, and fired continuously at the half-orc butcher.

The two feather arrows passed through the wind and snow, stuck to the position of the half-beast's ears, and brushed its left and right cheeks.The half-orc butcher froze in place for a moment.Its ears are mutilated, and its keen intuition does not work for these two cold arrows.Although the feather arrow didn't hurt it, it gave it a critical blow to its mind.

The Orc Butcher will never forget the scene where the monster as tall as it and with a pair of round ears smashed the most powerful butcher chief in the tribe, and also its father, with one punch.The butcher roared at the monster to avenge his chief father.However, it was as weak as a doe in front of the round-eared monster, and was captured on the spot, his fangs were pulled out, and finally a pair of ears were cut off before the round-eared monster returned it to the tribe.

This is the greatest shame in the life of an orc butcher.Now, the half-elf on the city wall actually shoots its ears with bows and arrows? !
The butcher's anger rose to a peak in an instant, it turned sharply, and its bloody eyes stared at Vertok on the city wall.When it saw the steel rock in the bear helmet skin appear beside Vertok, it snorted again, turned around and quickly ran to the half-orc camp.

"...runs like a rabbit, but unfortunately doesn't have ears." Vertok pouted.There was a burst of laughter from the tower.

Slave trader Rhode said with a smile: "Shoot well, kill better... I'll send two more barbarian slaves to the orcs to kill, next time I'll have four... Until the orc butcher, in front of the barbarian warriors, Kill all the barbarian slaves."

Vertok has already figured it out.Rhodes expected that the half-orcs from the outer domain would not let the barbarian slaves negotiate with the local barbarians on behalf of the half-elves, so he deliberately sent the barbarian slaves to send them to death.It would be best if they could negotiate. If the orcs killed the barbarian female slaves in front of the barbarian warriors, they could also provoke conflict between the two sides and achieve the goal of differentiation.

Dozens of barbarian slaves hug Wendy's head and cry, but no half-elf sympathizes with them.Because they were slaves and barbarians.The barbarian slaves of the plantation helped the enemy dismantle the ballista, which caused the situation in Braun Town to take a turn for the worse, and also made the half-elves hate the barbarian slaves.

Several professionals dragged out two more barbarian slaves, tied them with ropes, and prepared to send them down the city wall.

"enough!"

Virtok used the Combat Breathing technique, and let out a thunderous roar from his chest. The strong sound crashed into the fort, arousing echoes, and the snow on the top of the wall also rustled.

"The enemy killed the messenger we sent to negotiate in front of us and cut off her head. Are you happy?!"

"You all listen, the most precious meaning of fighting is survival, not anything else! It is courage to swing a knife to the stronger, and it is nature to swing a knife to the weaker. Do you really think that the orcs killed all our barbarian slaves , the barbarians on the opposite side will rebel against the half-orc army?"

"No! They only want to survive, following the nature of wielding knives at the weaker, and pouring out their anger on us like water flows down low! And are we going to vent our resentment on these barbarian slave girls? Swinging the butcher's knife at the weaker ones? This will only make us lose the courage to fight for survival and swing the knife at the stronger!"

"My answer is, no way!" Vertok stood on the parapet, pulled out his long sword, pointed the blade to the enemy on the opposite side, and shouted to everyone: "Today, there is only bloody battle!"

A sonorous and powerful voice reverberated in the ears of the half-elf. After a brief silence, a louder echo erupted from the city wall. It was the clanging sound of swords unsheathed, and the roar of "blood battle".

When Bartom noticed the enemy's movement, he immediately shouted loudly:

"The enemy has moved, get ready and defend the city wall!"

"The ballista takes aim at the ballista on the opposite side... Find a way to knock them out."

"The bowmen listen to my orders before firing arrows, and give priority to killing the half-orc coolies."

The half-elves on the city wall were busy with each other and entered their combat positions one after another, preparing to meet the allied army of half-orcs and barbarians.At this time, Gangyan, who had been silent all the time, said to Vertok: "Vill, you are very good."

Vertok nodded and said as a matter of course: "Yes, I think so too."

Gang Yan smiled, raised his finger and pointed to the half-orc camp, pointed out the positions of ten orc butchers, and said, "Among the enemies on the opposite side, only these ten butchers make me feel dangerous. They are stronger than my clan, and that The butcher on the side, I don't even have the confidence to defeat it. You have to be very careful."

Vertoc's eyes followed Gangyan's fingers, and turned to the barbarian camp, and saw a half-orc butcher standing with the barbarian leader.
