The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.
Chapter 610 The beginning of the evil plan
Wolf Rider Captain Leilaf is a wolf warrior who has reached the end of his wolf rider system.
But if he had the chance to obtain a vicious wolf or a giant frost wolf, he would also have the opportunity to change his job to a vicious wolf knight or even a giant frost wolf knight.
Therefore, Leilaf cherishes this opportunity given by Kenro Hag.
The reason why Kenro Hag did not use the higher-level Frost Warrior or Wolf Warrior was because these two types of knights were relatively obvious.
These two types of wolves have a stronger carrying capacity. Not only are they larger themselves, they can also carry stronger orcs.
Even an ordinary wolf rider is larger than a wolf warrior.
In addition, the evil wolf is completely black, while the frost giant wolf is completely snow-white. Only the wolverine is no different from the ordinary prairie gray wolf except for its huge size and stronger combat power.
A worg is a large prairie wolf, and worg riders are usually the shortest and lightest orcs.
As long as they kept low on the grassland, they would not be easily discovered by scouts in the sky.
Among flying creatures, eagles and dragons have the best eyesight and can clearly see the targets they want to see at a distance of thousands of meters.
Apart from this, neither the griffin nor the angel can achieve such an exaggerated effect.
Neither the orcs' own intelligence nor the intelligence provided by Aini revealed that Xu Lai had dragon eagles under his command, but he did have a top-level holy dragon.
But the holy dragon was not yet an adult, and Xu Lai usually carried it with him. When Kenlo Hag and Xu Lai's cavalry encountered it, they also confirmed the existence of the holy dragon.
Therefore, Xu Lai’s aerial reconnaissance force should only consist of angels and griffins.
The orcs were not clear about the actual situation of Xu Lai's angel troops and griffin troops. They only knew that Xu Lai had a group of high-level angels, but the number of griffins was not too large.
On the premise that his side has a large number of air forces, even if Xu Lai has some air forces, most of his attention will definitely be on his own air forces.
But they actually didn't know that Xu Lai didn't have any naturally grown and tamed griffins under his command, so even if he had captured ones, the tamer's helmet that could communicate with wild beasts would be useless.
The only one who could complete aerial reconnaissance from beginning to end was Elvy, and apart from keeping an eye on the flying corps, she had no time to do anything else.
The orcs' caution did not have any effect, because Xu Lai had no need to monitor the other side from the air.
This secret spot was originally provided by Xu Lai to the orcs. There are extremely covert reconnaissance eyes hidden everywhere here.
It can be said that as soon as Leilaf appeared in this secret hiding cave, Xu Lai discovered them and had been watching them silently.
In order to avoid exposing any flaws in the cave, Xu Lai specially asked Aini to use magic communication to send his so-called people from another castle to garrison there.
The people who stayed behind in the castle were Aini's confidants, so they naturally obeyed Aini's orders.
Moreover, he only knew that Aini was rescued on the night he was captured, and was currently hiding in other manors outside the city. He had no idea that Aini had not been freed at all.
They also had no idea of Aini and Xu Lai's plan. They just thought that Aini was hiding outside to wait for the orcs to kill Xu Lai and ensure their safety.
Therefore, when Aini ordered them to send people to guard the food storage point prepared for the orcs, no one raised any questions.
When Leilaf carefully entered the hiding cave, he was immediately controlled by Aini's men.
Although Leilaf is also a level 6 orc, his size is smaller than these elites, and Leilaf has no guards, so he is good at cavalry combat.
Being outnumbered, they were captured as expected even though they were prepared.
However, after capturing Leilaf, the opponent did not kill him, which prevented Leilaf from immediately warning Kenro Hag.
"Captain, it's an orc!"
The hiding cave chosen by Xu Lai was very spacious and was originally intended for Bello himself.
However, this place is too remote, and most importantly, it is close to the grassland in the west. There are usually very few caravans coming and going, and there is no profit, so it is directly abandoned.
There are also outdoor buildings like hiding caves in strongholds, so when Leilaf found this hiding cave based on the mysterious coordinates, he was very happy.
This was also the main reason why he did not put up a strong resistance after entering the cave. He guessed that the other party should be the human earl's men.
Sure enough, after the other party discovered his identity, he immediately withdrew his sword.
"I'm sorry, we are the guards sent here by Earl Aini. May I ask where you are from, orc warrior?"
Leilaf then snorted coldly and looked around.
The entire hiding cave was extremely large, with only about 20 people in it. Except for a few people around him, the rest were holding torches and hiding in corners that were not easily attacked.
Kenro Hag chose Lailaf to come over, except that the wolf warriors could be covered by the grassland weeds after crouching their bodies.
Also, Leilaf is one of the few orcs who possesses magical talent.
Although Leilaf's magical talent is not high, it is extremely rare among the orcs, especially among the wolf riders who are good at physical combat.
Possessing magical talent, even if the magic power is not strong, after equipping one or two pieces of equipment that increase the mana limit, it is enough to use magic signal stones and space equipment.
These two things cannot be activated without magic power.
Therefore, Leilaf was able to sense the fluctuations of magic in this hiding cave, which must have been a magic trap.
Moreover, the trap was set very shallowly, and even he, an orc who was not a magician, could sense it.
In addition to the magic traps, as an orc, Lailaf has a very sensitive nose and can easily smell the fishy stench and the pungent smell of kerosene in the cave.
If a large number of orcs rushed in at once and the entrances and exits were blocked, spells and fire would engulf them in an instant.
Thinking of this, Leilaf immediately became alert again and said:
"I am Leilaf, the captain of the Wolf Riders under Grand Marshal Kenlo Hag. You said you are guards sent by Earl Aini. What's your proof?"
“I used to be the guard of Count Aini.
Our Count has told me that his chief mage advisor, Master Parame, is still with you.
You can ask Master Parame to confirm my identity."
Leilaf did not refuse, he understood very well the significance of Kenro Hag asking him to come.
The communication was established very quickly, and it was a high-level video communication, which consumed a lot of energy per second to maintain.
Parame was also unable to ask too many questions during the call. He only identified the portrait, saw the token, and confirmed a few more private questions before hurriedly ending the call.
Afterwards, Leilaf quickly drank a bottle of mana potion to ensure that nothing would go wrong when needed.
After both parties have verified each other's identities, all that remains is the handover of supplies.
Before that, Leilaf asked, "I sensed the magic traps here, and there is a lot of kerosene in it."
Although Earl Aini's forces now have to rely on the orcs in the stronghold to survive, the two sides have been fighting for hundreds of years, with constant conflicts of all sizes, and their ancestors must have blood feuds with each other. The captain of the garrison does not like these orcs.
But it was difficult not to answer the question asked by the orc.
“Many people knew about this large amount of food and fodder, and many people also held opposing views.
If someone interferes, or if this place is revealed to Mr. Xu, he will definitely not watch you get these food supplies.
Our Lord Earl has ordered that if it weren't you who came, we would have destroyed all the supplies here, including ourselves, of course."
Lailaf's eyes narrowed. Orcs admired brave men the most. He consoled them:
"Don't worry, brother, I will report this matter to the higher-ups.
You just need to remember those who raised objections. When we conquer the grassland, we will definitely help you kill those who disobey us."
When the captain heard this, he did not feel happy at all. He only felt sad and didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.
Soon, Leilaf found the source of the stench, which was a large number of cattle and sheep confined in a fence.
If the cattle and sheep in the other world weren't in better physical condition, if they were piled together like this, most of them would surely die within three days.
"Why are they all alive?"
The captain rolled his eyes and said, "No one knows when you will come. If we kill them all, it will be difficult to transport them. There is no cold storage here, so they will probably stink in a few days.
Besides, don’t you prefer fresh blood food? These cattle and sheep were just delivered not long ago, so they are still very fresh. "
Leilaf is an orc and is very sensitive to the vitality of animals. These cattle and sheep smell very fresh and very appetizing.
The fishy smell here is like hell to humans like the captain.
However, for orcs like Lailaf, this place is not much different from heaven, with countless cattle and sheep to enjoy.
After swallowing his saliva, Leilaf said with difficulty: "Anything else?"
Kenro Hag gave him a space ring, but unfortunately living things could not be placed in the space ring. However, a warehouse-type ring like Xu Lai's could be used.
The captain fanned his nose and frowned, "Yes, there are, but our count said that you don't like vegetarian food."
As he spoke, the captain led Lailaf to several sealed rooms where large amounts of food were piled up, conservatively estimated to be tens of thousands of units.
There are several such rooms, storing hundreds of tons of grain in total.
But when Leilaf saw this scene, he frowned and seemed dissatisfied.
After taking a bottle of mana potion, Leilaf's mana was restored. He casually swept across the mountain of food, and all the bags of food were put into his space ring.
Even though the food here is piled up to fill several rooms, it would not be enough to last a day, even if you exclude those old men in the orc army who only eat meat.
Seeing that all the food had been collected and the captain had no intention of taking him to other rooms, Leilaf frowned and asked, "Is that all?"
The captain also frowned and said, “An adult cow weighs several tons and can produce at least a thousand units of meat.
Even if a sheep only produces 100 units of meat, the tens of thousands of cattle and sheep here together produce nearly 10 million units of food.
And even on the grassland, meat is much more valuable than ordinary food.
The grasslands are now full of our enemies. Do you know how much manpower and resources we have to spend to transport these cattle and sheep here?"
The captain and his men were already extremely dissatisfied with providing food to the orcs. After all, they were not merchants and still had a little sense of shame.
Of course, Leilaf also knew that meat was much more valuable than food, otherwise why would the uncles in the stronghold like to eat meat so much.
What's more, the meat here is all fresh and alive, which is far more precious than dead things. It is inappropriate to accuse Count Eni and others of not being attentive.
But if there are only dozens of cattle and sheep, then they can think of a way to transport them back to the base.
There are tens of thousands of cattle and sheep. Even if they are crowded together now, they will almost fill up the hiding cave. How can they hide from Xu Lai's investigation?
"How about this, I'll take a few cattle and sheep back to report. The final decision will still depend on what the higher-ups say."
However, at this moment, the captain raised his hand and said, “No, our Earl has specifically instructed us not to do so.
This hiding cave is extremely important. It is an important place to supply you with food and grass in the future.
Therefore, the Earl told us that if you want to take anything away, you should take it all together, and never take just a few cattle and sheep out.
This way, even if you are discovered by Xu Lai, he will only regard you as wandering or scouting cavalry and will not reveal the location of this hiding cave."
Xu Lai spent a lot of money on the cattle and sheep here.
For this purpose, he specially asked Aini to hire mercenaries and sent over several healing spell scrolls produced by the temple to ensure that these cattle and sheep would not die in the short term.
If we let the orcs take a few away and then eat them directly when they return, exposing the fact that these cattle and sheep are poisonous, that would be a loss.
Therefore, under Aini's repeated instructions, the captain and his men would never allow Lailaf and his men to take away only part of the cattle and sheep.
"But how are we going to take away so many cattle and sheep?"
The captain shook his head and said, "That's not what I can think of. The only way I can think of is to kill them.
But there are a lot of cattle and sheep here, if you want to slaughter them, please send more people over."
Indeed, it would take a long time to slaughter tens of thousands of cattle and sheep one by one. Sheep are easier to kill, but cattle are famous for their great strength.
But Kenluo Hag did not authorize him to slaughter cattle and sheep. Moreover, even if Kenluo Hag authorized it, the Beast King might not agree.
He is a cavalry captain, what a good space ring Kenlo Hag can give him.
What's more, there is not a single good space ring in the entire stronghold camp.
The one in his hand, even though it was already in the air, couldn't hold much meat.
The remaining food must be transported back within a short period of time, otherwise it will all rot if left here.
No matter how small Xu Lai's investigative force is, the risk of being exposed will only grow greater as their contacts become more frequent.
"I dare not make the decision on my own on this matter. Please come back after I go back and report."
Leilaf did not want to clash with the human captain at this time. Moreover, what he said made sense. Leilaf, who knew a little magic, was no fool. (End of this chapter)
