Chapter 59 Escape from the Dead
Chapter 59 Escape from the Dead
At this time, outside the garrison of the city defense army in Fangfang City, there were roars of beasts and people, and there was a lot of noise.
"Where did those guys escape?" Uroel, who was sitting on the beast, asked with a sullen face.
He had just received the news from Maner, and it was as expected by Amada. When he learned that Thor and his party had slipped away, the orc prince was furious and immediately summoned his men to chase after him.
"I'm not sure, it seems to be West City. Your Highness, do you want to report to the Beast King?" an officer suggested cautiously.
"What to report, my father will definitely tell me to let them go again. No matter what, just catch up and kill them all, who told them to run away at this time." Uroer's eyes showed a cruel light.
The officer didn't dare to say any more. Under the leadership of Uroel, an elite city defense force mainly composed of tauren soldiers rushed out of the camp and headed towards the west city.
"Brother!" As soon as he left the camp, Uroel was suddenly stopped by a person.
"Sister? What are you doing here?" He was surprised and grabbed the war beast.
"Brother, are you going to chase Sol and the others?" Amada walked to his war beast.
Thinking she was here to intercede, Uroel frowned: "Sister, how many times have I told you not to get too close to that human being. Leave this matter alone, get out of the way."
Unexpectedly, Amada's words surprised him: "No, brother, I just want to remind you, just kill Saul and the three people around him, and let the others go back to Dinar."
"Ah? Why?" Uroel was quite surprised, for a moment he forgot how his innocent and lovely sister would say such a thing.
"Remember, it's only Saul who deserves to be damned. Father still needs the peace agreement with Dinar very much, so you can just let those two deputy envoys go back, understand?" Amada said solemnly like never before. tone said.
Just seeing that she did not hesitate to tear off her disguise and came directly to remind Uroel, one can see how much Amada attaches importance to Sol's escape.
He had never seen his younger sister like this before, so Uroel just nodded stupidly: "I...I understand."
"Very well, I'm leaving. They're just outside the west city, brother, go quickly." Amada waved goodbye to him.
It wasn't until after driving a long way that Uroel realized in surprise: "Hey, what happened to my sister today?"
However, he was obviously not very good at using his brain, so after thinking for a while, he scratched his head and said, "Maybe my father asked her to tell me, ha, yes, it must be so!"
Having figured this out, he happily patted the war beast: "Sol, even the king won't protect you, you're going to die tonight!"
In the rear, Amada also looked at the troops that were leaving quickly, and muttered to himself: "Hurry up, brother, hurry up. Don't let Sol escape..."
************************************************** ***********************************
On the west side of Fang City, Sol wandered around outside the exit of the secret passage: "Why don't you come out? Could something really happen to them?"
Nick glanced at the sky anxiously: "Your Excellency, time is running out."
Jessica pulled out the saber at her waist: "I'll go in and have a look."
Just then, the bushes covering the exit shook, and Chip and Kress came out.Seeing the two of them, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
"Why did you come out now?" Saul took Kress's hand and helped him get out of the secret passage.
Kress patted the dirt on his body: "Those orcs chasing soldiers is very troublesome, and it took a lot of time."
Nick couldn't help but asked, "How many of them are there?"
Chip sighed: "Killed by the orcs and Igrid, by the way, Igrid also..."
Sol nodded: "We saw him too. He rushed out of the secret passage like a madman just now, and he didn't know where he went."
Jessica chimed in, "Come on, we have to get out before dawn."
Several people returned to the waiting line, and everyone immediately dialed and went to the woods.However, it didn't take long before I heard heavy footsteps coming from outside the forest.
"Search carefully, don't let those people escape!" Uroel's voice came over.
Oops, found out!Everyone was shocked, some soldiers pulled out their swords in panic, and looked at the orc soldiers shaking back and forth outside the forest in fear.
"Don't panic, go this way." Nick reprimanded in a low voice.
Under his leadership, the group changed direction and tried to escape from the other side of the woods.However, at night, the sound of so many people moving at the same time could not be hidden from the ears of the orcs.
"They're here!" A few kobolds quickly found their tracks and shouted loudly.
"Run!" Sol was shocked and ordered quickly.
Because they had to go through the secret passage, they left their horses in the city, only the winged horse that Atria gave Sol was very spiritual and flew out by itself.But here is still far away from the place where the chamber of commerce picks them up, and everyone can only run wildly out of the forest on two legs.
The orcs quickly caught up, and the tauren soldiers roared angrily, and the giant ax in their hands mercilessly split open the bushes blocking the way.Small kobolds jumped back and forth among them, screaming hideously.
And the most frightening ones are the six Behemoth warriors led by Uroel.They rode on huge war beasts, rampaging like tanks, and the sound of their heavy footsteps almost made the ground tremble.
Humans can't compete with orcs in leg strength. Seeing that the opponent is getting closer and closer, Chip suddenly turned around and threw two daggers. The two kobolds who ran in the front were stabbed in the throat and fell to the ground screaming.
After such a delay, Bimon, who was riding a war beast, had rushed over.Two rhinoceros-like war beasts jumped in the air, and the long swords of the Beamon warriors above had already slashed at Kip.
Leaning his body, Kip quickly dodged through the gap between the two war beasts. At the same time, he swung his wrist and grabbed the dagger, slitting the throat of a tauren warrior who happened to charge.
The war beast rushed into the ranks of the envoys like a tank, several soldiers were knocked into the air, and the sound of their bodies being trampled by the war beast was extremely creepy in the night.
The team was in chaos, and Uroel and the Beamon warriors completely dispersed Sol and the others.At this time, the tauren also rushed over, and with the advantage of their bodies, these melee kings crashed straight into the chaotic team.
"Fight!" Nick yelled, drawing out his sword.
There was a dull crash of bodies, and the human warrior who bore the brunt didn't even have a chance to resist, and was knocked to the ground by the dense formation of the tauren, and then trampled to death by "Random Hoof".
"Drink!" Kress roared angrily, pulled out the iron mound and turned back to meet him.
A particularly strong tauren noticed this tall human being, he roared with red eyes, and rushed towards Kress with his ax high up.Kress didn't show any weakness, and the iron mound swept across like a wooden club.
When there was a loud noise, the tauren felt as if he had hit a rock, and an incredible force came from the black sword in the human hand, and he watched his ax shatter into pieces.
A sword slashed the tauren in half, and Kress fiercely kicked his body away. At the same time, he pulled out his sword and swung around. The two kobolds who were trying to attack from behind immediately turned into four pieces.
At this time, there was a dull stomping sound from the side, and a Behemoth warrior rushed towards Kress with a beast.Turning around and pushing away a tauren with a sword, Kress rolled on the spot the moment the beast rushed behind him, and at the same time the iron mound was stirred between the two hind legs of the beast.
With the help of the beast's own momentum, the iron mound cut off its entire right hind leg.However, Kress didn't feel well either, the shock sent back from the blade of the sword forcefully dislocated his left wrist.
The war beast let out a scream, as if it was lifted by something, its huge body flipped up in the air, and flew out like a rock.There was a loud bang after landing, and the unlucky Behemoth had turned into a pile of meat paste, and the war beast rolled all the way under the action of inertia, knocking over several tauren.
However, before Kress was lucky enough to kill the opponent, a tauren volleyed towards him who was lying on the ground.Kress' left wrist was dislocated, and he had no choice but to hold a sword with one hand to parry.
Hastily meeting him, he was almost thrown out of his hand by the ax that the tauren carried with its own weight.Before Kress got up, the tauren stepped on his chest, and the ax was raised high.
Seeing that Kress was about to be split into two, a dagger was shot and inserted into the tauren's neck.The tauren let out a muffled growl, and his body turned involuntarily. Kress immediately stood up and chopped off his head with a sword.
Over there, Chip who threw the dagger smiled at Kress, and then fell into the attack of several kobolds.
Pressing the dislocated left wrist to the ground, Kress twisted his shoulder and forced his wrist back. He also broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.After shaking his hand to make sure it was all right, he immediately swung his sword backwards, forcing the two tauren who were attacking from behind to go away.
The fierce battle situation was almost one-sided. In just a moment of fierce fighting, half of the soldiers lost their lives forever.Sol and Jessica fought and retreated. He summoned Xiaomei and Simba, but he could only protect them.
Under the pressure of the orcs, the remaining people were forcibly suppressed together. At this time, only a dozen soldiers and 4 knights were left standing, and everyone was injured.Uror and the tauren surrounded them in the middle of a clearing in the woods, as if driving a pack of easy prey.
The orcs had the upper hand, and it was impossible for everyone to escape.Seeing the tauren soldiers piled up all around, Sol was also in despair: "Is it true that I am going to die here?"
Uroel looked at Sol proudly: "Human, you can't escape, just suffer and die."
At this time, there were no more soldiers supporting the two deputy envoys. Giles and Rondo were so frightened that their hands and feet were limp, and they shrank to the ground and kept begging: "Don't care about our business, he is the one who insists on escaping from the city, don't kill us!" .”
Thinking of Amada's words, although Uroel hated these two courageous guys, he still decided to let them go.He snorted: "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I only want them..."
Then, he pointed to Sol, Jessica, Kress and Chip: "Their lives."
"What!" As if catching a life-saving straw, Jiers was overjoyed: "Are you serious?"
"Before I change my mind, these four people stay, and the others get out." Uroel said disgustedly.
With a cheer, Giles and Rondo jumped up with movements that were completely out of character for them.However, the two ran a few steps, but found that no one followed.
Gilles pointed at Nick: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and escort us away!"
Nick shook his head sullenly: "My mission is to protect the entire envoy, not the two deputy envoys. Soldiers, prepare to fight!"
All the soldiers responded in unison, holding their swords neatly in their chests, and everyone looked desperate.
Rondo looked at them in disbelief, and shouted hoarsely: "Idiot, do you want to stay with him to die? Leave them alone and send me back to China!"
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to his cries.
"My lord, let's block these orcs for a while, you can go away on the winged horse." Jessica whispered to Thor.
Sol shook his head: "If I escape, will I still have the face to go back to Lovell? Don't worry, we won't just die like this." But it is obvious that even he himself does not believe it.
Jessica was in a hurry, and before we could talk, Uroel said: "Very well, we orcs respect brave warriors. Since this is your choice, I will send you to see the Great God Phiris."
"I, we don't want to stay, please take us back to plead guilty to His Majesty the Beast King..." Giles and Rondo said quickly, but unfortunately, no one looked at the two nobles again.
"Then, attack..." Uroel's eyes flashed coldly, and the raised sword was about to be swung down.
At the critical moment, several big trees suddenly fell from the sky inexplicably and smashed into the pile of orcs. At the same time, the tauren outside the surrounding circle screamed repeatedly, as if they were attacked by someone.
The orcs immediately became confused, tree trunks, huge boulders and other objects fell from the air like ghosts, like the next absurd rainstorm.No orc could keep calm anymore, even the war beast under Beamon's crotch roared in panic.
Saul and the others looked at each other, completely unable to figure out what happened.Some people even wondered, could it be that this group of orcs were punished by the god-lord Denissus for their actions?
Of course this cannot be the case.At this time, a rough voice came from outside the woods: "Is the one inside Lord Saul from the Lowell Territory?"
Sol was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "It's Kante Baker! It's those barbarians!"
It really was those barbarians who rescued them. These powerful ice warriors raised huge boulders and tree trunks and threw them at the orcs.Others directly uprooted the trees and rushed into the crowd of beasts waving like that. The brave tauren warriors could only flee in embarrassment at this moment.
Uroel tried his best to control the beast and commanded his men to fight.Seeing hundreds of barbarians rushing out of the woods, he couldn't believe it, where did so many guys come from?
Many of the barbarians still wore broken shackles on their hands and feet, showing that they had been slaves not long ago.But at this moment, they who were free had completely vented their long-accumulated anger on these orcs.
Uroel couldn't help but feel a little regretful, because he came in a hurry, he only brought a city defense army composed of more than 100 tauren and kobolds, while there were only a few Beamon warriors.Although they are all elite fighters in the city defense army, they are not the opponents of so many barbarians.
Those Behemoths have turned into Behemoths, but unfortunately they are unable to change the situation of the battle. Maybe 10 barbarians are no match for Behemoths, but what about 50 or 100?Having a numerical advantage, they quickly tore these Behemoths into pieces.
There are fewer and fewer orcs who can fight, and several tauren said anxiously to Uroel: "Come on, prince, there are too many barbarians."
Uroel gritted his teeth and watched his subordinates being killed continuously, finally gritted his teeth fiercely, turned the war beast and rushed out of the woods.As soon as he ran, the remaining orcs immediately lost their fighting spirit and were completely defeated.
The barbarians did not pursue, the crowd separated, and several tall barbarians came to Sol and the others. It was Irfan, Conte Baker and others who had met Sol that day.
"Why are you here?" Sol was surprised and delighted.
Irfan said: "The orcs have civil strife these days, and soldiers have been withdrawn and left, and the surveillance on us has been reduced a lot. I felt that the opportunity had come, so I mobilized the slaves in the city to take advantage of the chaos and escape. Just outside the woods we I found a lot of corpses of soldiers from your kingdom, so I came to check it out strangely, but I didn’t expect to bump into you.”
Conte Baker was also very strange: "Why are you besieged by orcs here?"
Thinking of what happened just now, Sol felt a lingering fear in his heart: "Oh, it's hard to say, anyway, thank you for saving your life."
Irfan shook his head: "You are too polite. Without you, we might still be enslaved by orcs. Fortunately, we met you just now, so you are not in danger."
His words made the barbarians around nod their heads. Many people looked at Sol with gratitude in their eyes. Obviously, they all knew that Sol was a "great benefactor" from Irrfan.
Saul was also very lucky, thanks to the benevolence of a thought at the beginning, he saved Conte Baker and made friends with this group of big fellows.If it wasn't for this group of savages who also chose to go out of the city tonight, and happened to bump into them, maybe I would really have to confess that I was in this woods.As the saying goes, good things are rewarded with good things, maybe tonight's coincidence is really God's blessing in secret.
"Where are you going, do you want us to escort you?" Conte Baker asked.
Saul knew that these barbarians were also eager to return home, so he shook his head: "No need, the escaped orcs will definitely find reinforcements soon, so hurry up and go too."
Knowing that Sol was thinking of them, Irfan said gratefully: "May the god of ice and snow, Crezio, protect you. Please remember that the frozen plateau always welcomes you."
Conte Baker held Sol's hand: "We have decided that once we return to our hometown, we will mobilize our compatriots to establish our own city-state. If you succeed, you will be the common benefactor of all our barbarian tribes."
After the barbarians were sent away, the living breathed a sigh of relief. It was too dangerous just now.Sol winked at Jessica triumphantly: "How? If I hadn't been wise enough to save that barbarian, today would really be the end of the game."
Jessica couldn't help spitting: "Don't be complacent, wait until you get back to Dinar safely before saying such things."
As she said that, she glanced at the two deputy envoys contemptuously: "Do your lords still want to see the Beast King?"
Giles and Rondo looked at each other, how could they speak?
Jessica's words reminded everyone that although the orc chasers were temporarily repelled, they were still in an extremely dangerous situation.Helping up the injured companion, the group hurriedly left the forest full of corpses of companions and orcs.
At dawn, before the first ray of sunlight rose, they finally arrived at the meeting place agreed with the chamber of commerce.There, there were enough supplies and horses for them to escape the orc empire.
Unfortunately, there are less than 20 people who can live to see these things...
*
"Your Excellency, the orcs have already caught up." Nick and two knights came to Sol on horseback.
Their hair is unkempt, their lips are chapped, and their eyes are listless due to fatigue. How can they look like a royal elite knight?However, there were more than three of them, and everyone in the team didn't look much better.
This was the third day after everyone escaped from Fang City. They traveled day and night, quickly passed through the vast northern wilderness, and finally came to the isolation zone at the junction with Dinar.There was almost no rest along the way, and everyone was exhausted.
Fortunately, due to the war in the Orc Empire, almost all the troops on the border were dispatched to participate in the battle. In addition, the orcs were scattered in various places in the form of tribes, and the land was sparsely populated, so they were not stopped along the way.
However, since yesterday afternoon, the cavalry who went out to detect found a group of orcs falling on them, and kept approaching.It seems that Uroel still refuses to let Sol go after all.
No matter how fast you travel, a man may not rest, but a horse cannot.At this time, the astonishing endurance of the orcs was shown. Although they lacked such mobile forces as the wolf cavalry, they insisted on chasing Sol and his party with their amazing physical fitness, and used the short rest of the people to continuously narrow the distance between the two sides. .
After a day and a night of chasing, the other party finally caught up to a distance where they could be seen directly.The pursuers who were close at hand put a lot of pressure on them, and everyone's face was heavy for a while.
Thor was shaking a water jug on his winged horse, trying to get a few more drops out of what had already been drained.He heard the words and licked his chapped lips: "How far is it?"
"With their foot strength, they can catch up with us in 20 minutes." Nick said solemnly.
"Oh my god..." The two deputy envoys, who were so tired that they couldn't straighten their backs, screamed, and sat down on the ground with ashen faces.
Sol glanced at the team. Everyone was listlessly lying on the horse. Even the strong Kress yawned quietly. If the orcs chased him, he might not even be able to make the most basic counterattack.
This is not the worst, after several days of uninterrupted running, many horses have been lost.If you don't count the horses carrying supplies, even one man is not enough to allocate.Even the horses that can be used at present are exhausted and absolutely unable to cross the isolation zone of hundreds of kilometers.
"What should I do?" At this moment, Saul, who was a special envoy, naturally became the popular choice, and everyone looked at him, hoping that he would come up with an idea.
Feeling everyone's expectations, Saul also felt pressured, and he finally knew that it was not so easy to be the leader.Are you looking at me?Who do I want to go?I'm not a fairy, how could I have a way...
Although helpless, the decision must be made, otherwise everyone can only wait here to die.After thinking for a while, Sol said decisively: "Throw away all the supplies and free up the horses. The others only keep their weapons and drinking water. Damn, even if they don't eat or drink, they have to run across this isolation zone."
No one doubted whether his decision was correct or not. In this desperate situation, whether the decision was correct or not was not so important. What everyone needed was just an order to keep them moving.
Thor's order was quickly carried out, tents, food, belongings and medicines were all abandoned on the ground, and the horses carrying the goods were freed.Soldiers discarded their heavier armor and shields, leaving only a sword with them.Facing the orcs, this kind of equipment can't fight at all, but now they can't take care of that much.
Seeing Sol's serious face, Jessica rode to him: "What's wrong?"
Sol shook his head: "It's nothing. It's just that this is the first time I've made a life-and-death decision. If...if something happens to everyone because of my decision, I..."
Jessica looked at him fixedly, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes: "No, you have done a good job, what you need at this time is decisiveness. If you are hesitant or shirk responsibility, it is really harmful everyone."
As she spoke, she smiled suddenly: "Actually, I'm very happy."
"Happy? What are you happy about?" Sol was a little confused.
"Just now, you really looked like a lord." Jessica's smile grew stronger.
"Haha, it's nothing...Hey, wait!" Sol reacted suddenly: "You mean, I didn't look like a lord before?"
Jessica stuck out her tongue playfully: "I never said that."
Jessica's giggle may have been deliberately done, but it was obvious that the soldiers who saw her and Sol's appearance relaxed obviously, and some of them couldn't help but smile.
"By the way, Jessica." Suddenly, Sol seemed to have made a decision.
"what?"
"According to the current situation, I guess it will be difficult to pass through the isolation zone. I must ask General Pintat for help. You can go on this mission." Sol said solemnly.
Jessica's face changed suddenly: "Why?"
"You are the only girl among us, if anything happens to us, I hope you can live..." Sol subconsciously avoided Jessica.
Sure enough, Jessica immediately refused: "No, I said that I am your steward, and I will stay by your side no matter what the situation is. If someone must ask for help, it should be you."
Sol secretly thought, I think so too, but unfortunately, no matter how greedy he is for life and fear of death, he knows that now is not the time to argue.Pulling Jessica aside, he said anxiously: "I can't leave, otherwise everyone will lose their fighting spirit immediately, and the team will have no way to escape. No one can control Simba except you. Don't lose your temper, go quickly!" Bar."
Jessica still didn't do it: "No, if you don't leave, I won't leave either. Let someone else ride the winged horse."
At this time, many people had noticed the argument between the two, and Jayers almost shouted: "Let me go, let me go, I can definitely find reinforcements!"
Rondo also said repeatedly: "I can do it too, let me go with Lord Jayers!"
Sol ignored them, raised his hand to call out Simba, pointed to the Griffin beast and said, "As long as you dare to sit on it, I don't mind the two adults asking for help."
Looking at the huge griffin beast with sharp mouth and sharp claws, the two took a step back in fright.Jayers murmured: "Isn't there a winged horse, we can ride that..."
Nick said disgustedly: "If there is a chance of survival, it should be given to women and children first. Even Lord Saul stayed with us to take risks. Don't the two adults even want the basic dignity of nobles?"
Chip patted Jessica: "You better go, time is running out, don't hesitate any longer."
"You go, Miss Jessica." Kress followed suit.
"Yes, Miss Jessica, you can go, just get reinforcements as soon as possible..." The soldiers also said one after another. After these days of missions, they all had a good impression of this beautiful girl.
The pressure from the crowd made Jessica unable to persevere. She turned her eyes to Sol as if asking for help, and the latter nodded to her affirmatively.
In desperation, Jessica sat on Simba.Sol took out the peace agreement and the Beamon's magic core and handed it to her: "Take it, if we... you want to live anyway, go back to Lovell, understand?"
For a moment, Jessica's tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably, and while taking the things, she said in a voice that only Saul could hear: "Whether it's life or death, I will definitely come back to you... "
Sol was stunned, and before he could react, Jessica slapped Simba decisively.The griffin fluttered its wings and flew towards the Kingdom of Dinar quickly.
But the words just now have been lingering in Sol's ears...
Seeing him in a daze, Kress patted him strangely: "What's the matter, Lord Lord?"
"Ah, it's nothing, let's go." Sol woke up with a start.
A group of people stepped on their horses exhausted and started their final escape.
More than ten minutes later, with the sound of heavy footsteps, a group of silent orc troops rushed over.They didn't even look at the things discarded on the ground, but quickly chased them in the direction in which everyone was fleeing.
************************************************** *************
With a hiss, a horse fell short and fell to the ground.Kress, who was riding on his back, was thrown out and rolled several times on the ground.
"Kress, how are you?" Saul hurried over on his winged horse.
Climbing up and protruding the dirt from his mouth, Kress shook his head: "I'm fine."
"You ride on the same horse as me," Nick told him.
Now is the 4th hour after entering the isolation zone. The chamber of commerce provides not war horses, but ordinary cargo horses. Their physical strength is not good, and exhausted horses continue to fall to the ground along the way.The spare mounts were quickly used up, and more than half of the people shared a horse, which delayed their speed even more.
"Quick, look, the orcs are coming!" Suddenly a soldier pointed to the distance in horror.
At the end of the plain, a group of densely packed black spots appeared in everyone's field of vision, which were the orcs' pursuers.
"Hurry up, let's go!" Sol was shocked and hurriedly urged.
Kress jumped on Nick's horse, and the crowd began to run for their lives again.However, all the horses were exhausted, they almost struggled, and fled forward with one or two people on their backs.
Not long after, a raised mound appeared in front of everyone.The slope of this mound is not high, but it stretches for a long time, almost completely blocking the way, and it is impossible to go around.In normal times, riding a horse can reach the top of the slope in a few minutes, but for everyone at this moment, it is nothing more than a natural moat that is difficult to overcome.
Unanimously, everyone let out a frustrated sigh, and even the horse refused to leave.
"Get off the horse! Get off the horse! Prepare to fight!" Nick pulled out his sword vigorously.
It is unrealistic to climb up with human legs. Even if you can cross the mound, if you don't have a horse, you will be dead if you are caught up by orcs.In this case, it is better to fight here.
Everyone had the same idea, the soldiers jumped off their horses, drew out their only sabers, and waited quietly for the arrival of the orcs.Only Gilles and Rondo seemed to understand that the time limit had come, and they climbed up the slope unwillingly, but it didn't take long for them to collapse to the ground from exhaustion.
"My lord, we can't escape, you can go on the winged horse." Kip said to Sol in a deep voice.
All the horses were exhausted and collapsed, only Sol's winged horse was as handsome as usual, and he didn't even get much dust on his body.
Saul watched the orcs approaching with a pale face, but still shook his head: "No, wait a little longer, maybe we still have hope..."
Chip didn't say anything, and grabbed Sol's arm: "I'm sorry, my lord, this is my duty. If the situation is critical, I must let you go even if I use force."
At this time, a large number of orcs came up to them.In the lead was a group of Behemoth warriors riding war beasts, followed by the super-strength Tauren who were good at long-distance raids.After these days of running wildly, the tauren had froth hanging from the corners of their mouths and were panting heavily, but their blood-red eyes were still full of murderous intent.
Knowing that everyone has no way out, the orcs are not in a hurry to kill them.Under the scolding of several Behemoth warriors, they sorted out the somewhat scattered team, and it seemed that they planned to wipe out the dozen or so humans in front of them with one charge later.
Knowing that the moment of life and death had come, the exhausted soldiers calmed down instead. They didn't say a word, but held the sword in their hands tightly.
Chip was about to knock Thor out and force him to the winged horse.Suddenly, there was a long cry from the sky.
Everyone looked up, only to see a griffin soaring gracefully above everyone's heads in the fiery red sky as the sun was setting.
"It's Miss Jessica, she's back!" some soldiers shouted in surprise.
The orcs on the opposite side were also a little confused, but obviously a little griffin couldn't scare them.A Bimon officer decisively rushed to the front of the team and was about to give the order to attack.
Suddenly, the ground trembled like an earthquake, and a faint sound of horseshoes spread to everyone's ears like a tide.While the orcs were looking around nervously, a row of knights from the Dinar Northern Legion appeared on the top of the hill behind them.
It's reinforcements, Jessica finally found reinforcements!
The knights did not gallop down the hill, but lined up silently, but everyone held their lances high, like a forest of steel.This made the orcs feel more threatened by them. Everyone knew what a terrible scene it would be if a large number of cavalry rushed down from this height.
At this time, Sol and others, who were caught between the orcs and the cavalry, knew that the danger had passed, and they finally escaped from the orc empire alive.
The orcs and the knights confronted each other from a distance, neither side said a word, even the stationary horses neighed occasionally, but in this silence, a strong murderous aura was slowly gathering.
"Are we going to charge? Shall we step aside?" Nick licked his dry lips.
Chip shook his head: "No, the orcs will retreat, they have no chance of winning."
Sure enough, not long after, with an order, the orcs began to retreat slowly.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Sol suddenly stepped on the winged horse and galloped out.
No one knew what he wanted to do, and the soldiers, relaxed from extreme tension, didn't even have the strength to stop it.Only Jessica's exclamation came from mid-air, and the griffin also swooped down.
When he came to a place not far from the orc, Solla turned the rein of the horse and shouted loudly: "Everyone has worked hard, please go back and tell Princess Amada, thank her for sending so many people to see me off. If she does Beast King, please don't forget that we helped her a lot outside Fang City."
Sol's purpose is very simple, since you Amada are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous.No matter whether someone believes it or not, let me create some trouble for you first.
Sure enough, when they heard Sol's words, the Beamon officers all showed expressions of surprise.Following their yelling, the orcs turned around and quickly left along the way they came.
"Oh my god." Only then did Sol feel exhausted all over, almost slipping off the winged horse.
Turning his head, he saw the cheering soldiers, Gein leading the team down the hill, and Jessica, who dismounted from the griffin, ran towards him with a joyful and reproachful expression...
"I survived..." With a sigh, Thor fell to the ground with his limbs spread out.
(End of this chapter)
At this time, outside the garrison of the city defense army in Fangfang City, there were roars of beasts and people, and there was a lot of noise.
"Where did those guys escape?" Uroel, who was sitting on the beast, asked with a sullen face.
He had just received the news from Maner, and it was as expected by Amada. When he learned that Thor and his party had slipped away, the orc prince was furious and immediately summoned his men to chase after him.
"I'm not sure, it seems to be West City. Your Highness, do you want to report to the Beast King?" an officer suggested cautiously.
"What to report, my father will definitely tell me to let them go again. No matter what, just catch up and kill them all, who told them to run away at this time." Uroer's eyes showed a cruel light.
The officer didn't dare to say any more. Under the leadership of Uroel, an elite city defense force mainly composed of tauren soldiers rushed out of the camp and headed towards the west city.
"Brother!" As soon as he left the camp, Uroel was suddenly stopped by a person.
"Sister? What are you doing here?" He was surprised and grabbed the war beast.
"Brother, are you going to chase Sol and the others?" Amada walked to his war beast.
Thinking she was here to intercede, Uroel frowned: "Sister, how many times have I told you not to get too close to that human being. Leave this matter alone, get out of the way."
Unexpectedly, Amada's words surprised him: "No, brother, I just want to remind you, just kill Saul and the three people around him, and let the others go back to Dinar."
"Ah? Why?" Uroel was quite surprised, for a moment he forgot how his innocent and lovely sister would say such a thing.
"Remember, it's only Saul who deserves to be damned. Father still needs the peace agreement with Dinar very much, so you can just let those two deputy envoys go back, understand?" Amada said solemnly like never before. tone said.
Just seeing that she did not hesitate to tear off her disguise and came directly to remind Uroel, one can see how much Amada attaches importance to Sol's escape.
He had never seen his younger sister like this before, so Uroel just nodded stupidly: "I...I understand."
"Very well, I'm leaving. They're just outside the west city, brother, go quickly." Amada waved goodbye to him.
It wasn't until after driving a long way that Uroel realized in surprise: "Hey, what happened to my sister today?"
However, he was obviously not very good at using his brain, so after thinking for a while, he scratched his head and said, "Maybe my father asked her to tell me, ha, yes, it must be so!"
Having figured this out, he happily patted the war beast: "Sol, even the king won't protect you, you're going to die tonight!"
In the rear, Amada also looked at the troops that were leaving quickly, and muttered to himself: "Hurry up, brother, hurry up. Don't let Sol escape..."
************************************************** ***********************************
On the west side of Fang City, Sol wandered around outside the exit of the secret passage: "Why don't you come out? Could something really happen to them?"
Nick glanced at the sky anxiously: "Your Excellency, time is running out."
Jessica pulled out the saber at her waist: "I'll go in and have a look."
Just then, the bushes covering the exit shook, and Chip and Kress came out.Seeing the two of them, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
"Why did you come out now?" Saul took Kress's hand and helped him get out of the secret passage.
Kress patted the dirt on his body: "Those orcs chasing soldiers is very troublesome, and it took a lot of time."
Nick couldn't help but asked, "How many of them are there?"
Chip sighed: "Killed by the orcs and Igrid, by the way, Igrid also..."
Sol nodded: "We saw him too. He rushed out of the secret passage like a madman just now, and he didn't know where he went."
Jessica chimed in, "Come on, we have to get out before dawn."
Several people returned to the waiting line, and everyone immediately dialed and went to the woods.However, it didn't take long before I heard heavy footsteps coming from outside the forest.
"Search carefully, don't let those people escape!" Uroel's voice came over.
Oops, found out!Everyone was shocked, some soldiers pulled out their swords in panic, and looked at the orc soldiers shaking back and forth outside the forest in fear.
"Don't panic, go this way." Nick reprimanded in a low voice.
Under his leadership, the group changed direction and tried to escape from the other side of the woods.However, at night, the sound of so many people moving at the same time could not be hidden from the ears of the orcs.
"They're here!" A few kobolds quickly found their tracks and shouted loudly.
"Run!" Sol was shocked and ordered quickly.
Because they had to go through the secret passage, they left their horses in the city, only the winged horse that Atria gave Sol was very spiritual and flew out by itself.But here is still far away from the place where the chamber of commerce picks them up, and everyone can only run wildly out of the forest on two legs.
The orcs quickly caught up, and the tauren soldiers roared angrily, and the giant ax in their hands mercilessly split open the bushes blocking the way.Small kobolds jumped back and forth among them, screaming hideously.
And the most frightening ones are the six Behemoth warriors led by Uroel.They rode on huge war beasts, rampaging like tanks, and the sound of their heavy footsteps almost made the ground tremble.
Humans can't compete with orcs in leg strength. Seeing that the opponent is getting closer and closer, Chip suddenly turned around and threw two daggers. The two kobolds who ran in the front were stabbed in the throat and fell to the ground screaming.
After such a delay, Bimon, who was riding a war beast, had rushed over.Two rhinoceros-like war beasts jumped in the air, and the long swords of the Beamon warriors above had already slashed at Kip.
Leaning his body, Kip quickly dodged through the gap between the two war beasts. At the same time, he swung his wrist and grabbed the dagger, slitting the throat of a tauren warrior who happened to charge.
The war beast rushed into the ranks of the envoys like a tank, several soldiers were knocked into the air, and the sound of their bodies being trampled by the war beast was extremely creepy in the night.
The team was in chaos, and Uroel and the Beamon warriors completely dispersed Sol and the others.At this time, the tauren also rushed over, and with the advantage of their bodies, these melee kings crashed straight into the chaotic team.
"Fight!" Nick yelled, drawing out his sword.
There was a dull crash of bodies, and the human warrior who bore the brunt didn't even have a chance to resist, and was knocked to the ground by the dense formation of the tauren, and then trampled to death by "Random Hoof".
"Drink!" Kress roared angrily, pulled out the iron mound and turned back to meet him.
A particularly strong tauren noticed this tall human being, he roared with red eyes, and rushed towards Kress with his ax high up.Kress didn't show any weakness, and the iron mound swept across like a wooden club.
When there was a loud noise, the tauren felt as if he had hit a rock, and an incredible force came from the black sword in the human hand, and he watched his ax shatter into pieces.
A sword slashed the tauren in half, and Kress fiercely kicked his body away. At the same time, he pulled out his sword and swung around. The two kobolds who were trying to attack from behind immediately turned into four pieces.
At this time, there was a dull stomping sound from the side, and a Behemoth warrior rushed towards Kress with a beast.Turning around and pushing away a tauren with a sword, Kress rolled on the spot the moment the beast rushed behind him, and at the same time the iron mound was stirred between the two hind legs of the beast.
With the help of the beast's own momentum, the iron mound cut off its entire right hind leg.However, Kress didn't feel well either, the shock sent back from the blade of the sword forcefully dislocated his left wrist.
The war beast let out a scream, as if it was lifted by something, its huge body flipped up in the air, and flew out like a rock.There was a loud bang after landing, and the unlucky Behemoth had turned into a pile of meat paste, and the war beast rolled all the way under the action of inertia, knocking over several tauren.
However, before Kress was lucky enough to kill the opponent, a tauren volleyed towards him who was lying on the ground.Kress' left wrist was dislocated, and he had no choice but to hold a sword with one hand to parry.
Hastily meeting him, he was almost thrown out of his hand by the ax that the tauren carried with its own weight.Before Kress got up, the tauren stepped on his chest, and the ax was raised high.
Seeing that Kress was about to be split into two, a dagger was shot and inserted into the tauren's neck.The tauren let out a muffled growl, and his body turned involuntarily. Kress immediately stood up and chopped off his head with a sword.
Over there, Chip who threw the dagger smiled at Kress, and then fell into the attack of several kobolds.
Pressing the dislocated left wrist to the ground, Kress twisted his shoulder and forced his wrist back. He also broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.After shaking his hand to make sure it was all right, he immediately swung his sword backwards, forcing the two tauren who were attacking from behind to go away.
The fierce battle situation was almost one-sided. In just a moment of fierce fighting, half of the soldiers lost their lives forever.Sol and Jessica fought and retreated. He summoned Xiaomei and Simba, but he could only protect them.
Under the pressure of the orcs, the remaining people were forcibly suppressed together. At this time, only a dozen soldiers and 4 knights were left standing, and everyone was injured.Uror and the tauren surrounded them in the middle of a clearing in the woods, as if driving a pack of easy prey.
The orcs had the upper hand, and it was impossible for everyone to escape.Seeing the tauren soldiers piled up all around, Sol was also in despair: "Is it true that I am going to die here?"
Uroel looked at Sol proudly: "Human, you can't escape, just suffer and die."
At this time, there were no more soldiers supporting the two deputy envoys. Giles and Rondo were so frightened that their hands and feet were limp, and they shrank to the ground and kept begging: "Don't care about our business, he is the one who insists on escaping from the city, don't kill us!" .”
Thinking of Amada's words, although Uroel hated these two courageous guys, he still decided to let them go.He snorted: "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I only want them..."
Then, he pointed to Sol, Jessica, Kress and Chip: "Their lives."
"What!" As if catching a life-saving straw, Jiers was overjoyed: "Are you serious?"
"Before I change my mind, these four people stay, and the others get out." Uroel said disgustedly.
With a cheer, Giles and Rondo jumped up with movements that were completely out of character for them.However, the two ran a few steps, but found that no one followed.
Gilles pointed at Nick: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and escort us away!"
Nick shook his head sullenly: "My mission is to protect the entire envoy, not the two deputy envoys. Soldiers, prepare to fight!"
All the soldiers responded in unison, holding their swords neatly in their chests, and everyone looked desperate.
Rondo looked at them in disbelief, and shouted hoarsely: "Idiot, do you want to stay with him to die? Leave them alone and send me back to China!"
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to his cries.
"My lord, let's block these orcs for a while, you can go away on the winged horse." Jessica whispered to Thor.
Sol shook his head: "If I escape, will I still have the face to go back to Lovell? Don't worry, we won't just die like this." But it is obvious that even he himself does not believe it.
Jessica was in a hurry, and before we could talk, Uroel said: "Very well, we orcs respect brave warriors. Since this is your choice, I will send you to see the Great God Phiris."
"I, we don't want to stay, please take us back to plead guilty to His Majesty the Beast King..." Giles and Rondo said quickly, but unfortunately, no one looked at the two nobles again.
"Then, attack..." Uroel's eyes flashed coldly, and the raised sword was about to be swung down.
At the critical moment, several big trees suddenly fell from the sky inexplicably and smashed into the pile of orcs. At the same time, the tauren outside the surrounding circle screamed repeatedly, as if they were attacked by someone.
The orcs immediately became confused, tree trunks, huge boulders and other objects fell from the air like ghosts, like the next absurd rainstorm.No orc could keep calm anymore, even the war beast under Beamon's crotch roared in panic.
Saul and the others looked at each other, completely unable to figure out what happened.Some people even wondered, could it be that this group of orcs were punished by the god-lord Denissus for their actions?
Of course this cannot be the case.At this time, a rough voice came from outside the woods: "Is the one inside Lord Saul from the Lowell Territory?"
Sol was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "It's Kante Baker! It's those barbarians!"
It really was those barbarians who rescued them. These powerful ice warriors raised huge boulders and tree trunks and threw them at the orcs.Others directly uprooted the trees and rushed into the crowd of beasts waving like that. The brave tauren warriors could only flee in embarrassment at this moment.
Uroel tried his best to control the beast and commanded his men to fight.Seeing hundreds of barbarians rushing out of the woods, he couldn't believe it, where did so many guys come from?
Many of the barbarians still wore broken shackles on their hands and feet, showing that they had been slaves not long ago.But at this moment, they who were free had completely vented their long-accumulated anger on these orcs.
Uroel couldn't help but feel a little regretful, because he came in a hurry, he only brought a city defense army composed of more than 100 tauren and kobolds, while there were only a few Beamon warriors.Although they are all elite fighters in the city defense army, they are not the opponents of so many barbarians.
Those Behemoths have turned into Behemoths, but unfortunately they are unable to change the situation of the battle. Maybe 10 barbarians are no match for Behemoths, but what about 50 or 100?Having a numerical advantage, they quickly tore these Behemoths into pieces.
There are fewer and fewer orcs who can fight, and several tauren said anxiously to Uroel: "Come on, prince, there are too many barbarians."
Uroel gritted his teeth and watched his subordinates being killed continuously, finally gritted his teeth fiercely, turned the war beast and rushed out of the woods.As soon as he ran, the remaining orcs immediately lost their fighting spirit and were completely defeated.
The barbarians did not pursue, the crowd separated, and several tall barbarians came to Sol and the others. It was Irfan, Conte Baker and others who had met Sol that day.
"Why are you here?" Sol was surprised and delighted.
Irfan said: "The orcs have civil strife these days, and soldiers have been withdrawn and left, and the surveillance on us has been reduced a lot. I felt that the opportunity had come, so I mobilized the slaves in the city to take advantage of the chaos and escape. Just outside the woods we I found a lot of corpses of soldiers from your kingdom, so I came to check it out strangely, but I didn’t expect to bump into you.”
Conte Baker was also very strange: "Why are you besieged by orcs here?"
Thinking of what happened just now, Sol felt a lingering fear in his heart: "Oh, it's hard to say, anyway, thank you for saving your life."
Irfan shook his head: "You are too polite. Without you, we might still be enslaved by orcs. Fortunately, we met you just now, so you are not in danger."
His words made the barbarians around nod their heads. Many people looked at Sol with gratitude in their eyes. Obviously, they all knew that Sol was a "great benefactor" from Irrfan.
Saul was also very lucky, thanks to the benevolence of a thought at the beginning, he saved Conte Baker and made friends with this group of big fellows.If it wasn't for this group of savages who also chose to go out of the city tonight, and happened to bump into them, maybe I would really have to confess that I was in this woods.As the saying goes, good things are rewarded with good things, maybe tonight's coincidence is really God's blessing in secret.
"Where are you going, do you want us to escort you?" Conte Baker asked.
Saul knew that these barbarians were also eager to return home, so he shook his head: "No need, the escaped orcs will definitely find reinforcements soon, so hurry up and go too."
Knowing that Sol was thinking of them, Irfan said gratefully: "May the god of ice and snow, Crezio, protect you. Please remember that the frozen plateau always welcomes you."
Conte Baker held Sol's hand: "We have decided that once we return to our hometown, we will mobilize our compatriots to establish our own city-state. If you succeed, you will be the common benefactor of all our barbarian tribes."
After the barbarians were sent away, the living breathed a sigh of relief. It was too dangerous just now.Sol winked at Jessica triumphantly: "How? If I hadn't been wise enough to save that barbarian, today would really be the end of the game."
Jessica couldn't help spitting: "Don't be complacent, wait until you get back to Dinar safely before saying such things."
As she said that, she glanced at the two deputy envoys contemptuously: "Do your lords still want to see the Beast King?"
Giles and Rondo looked at each other, how could they speak?
Jessica's words reminded everyone that although the orc chasers were temporarily repelled, they were still in an extremely dangerous situation.Helping up the injured companion, the group hurriedly left the forest full of corpses of companions and orcs.
At dawn, before the first ray of sunlight rose, they finally arrived at the meeting place agreed with the chamber of commerce.There, there were enough supplies and horses for them to escape the orc empire.
Unfortunately, there are less than 20 people who can live to see these things...
*
"Your Excellency, the orcs have already caught up." Nick and two knights came to Sol on horseback.
Their hair is unkempt, their lips are chapped, and their eyes are listless due to fatigue. How can they look like a royal elite knight?However, there were more than three of them, and everyone in the team didn't look much better.
This was the third day after everyone escaped from Fang City. They traveled day and night, quickly passed through the vast northern wilderness, and finally came to the isolation zone at the junction with Dinar.There was almost no rest along the way, and everyone was exhausted.
Fortunately, due to the war in the Orc Empire, almost all the troops on the border were dispatched to participate in the battle. In addition, the orcs were scattered in various places in the form of tribes, and the land was sparsely populated, so they were not stopped along the way.
However, since yesterday afternoon, the cavalry who went out to detect found a group of orcs falling on them, and kept approaching.It seems that Uroel still refuses to let Sol go after all.
No matter how fast you travel, a man may not rest, but a horse cannot.At this time, the astonishing endurance of the orcs was shown. Although they lacked such mobile forces as the wolf cavalry, they insisted on chasing Sol and his party with their amazing physical fitness, and used the short rest of the people to continuously narrow the distance between the two sides. .
After a day and a night of chasing, the other party finally caught up to a distance where they could be seen directly.The pursuers who were close at hand put a lot of pressure on them, and everyone's face was heavy for a while.
Thor was shaking a water jug on his winged horse, trying to get a few more drops out of what had already been drained.He heard the words and licked his chapped lips: "How far is it?"
"With their foot strength, they can catch up with us in 20 minutes." Nick said solemnly.
"Oh my god..." The two deputy envoys, who were so tired that they couldn't straighten their backs, screamed, and sat down on the ground with ashen faces.
Sol glanced at the team. Everyone was listlessly lying on the horse. Even the strong Kress yawned quietly. If the orcs chased him, he might not even be able to make the most basic counterattack.
This is not the worst, after several days of uninterrupted running, many horses have been lost.If you don't count the horses carrying supplies, even one man is not enough to allocate.Even the horses that can be used at present are exhausted and absolutely unable to cross the isolation zone of hundreds of kilometers.
"What should I do?" At this moment, Saul, who was a special envoy, naturally became the popular choice, and everyone looked at him, hoping that he would come up with an idea.
Feeling everyone's expectations, Saul also felt pressured, and he finally knew that it was not so easy to be the leader.Are you looking at me?Who do I want to go?I'm not a fairy, how could I have a way...
Although helpless, the decision must be made, otherwise everyone can only wait here to die.After thinking for a while, Sol said decisively: "Throw away all the supplies and free up the horses. The others only keep their weapons and drinking water. Damn, even if they don't eat or drink, they have to run across this isolation zone."
No one doubted whether his decision was correct or not. In this desperate situation, whether the decision was correct or not was not so important. What everyone needed was just an order to keep them moving.
Thor's order was quickly carried out, tents, food, belongings and medicines were all abandoned on the ground, and the horses carrying the goods were freed.Soldiers discarded their heavier armor and shields, leaving only a sword with them.Facing the orcs, this kind of equipment can't fight at all, but now they can't take care of that much.
Seeing Sol's serious face, Jessica rode to him: "What's wrong?"
Sol shook his head: "It's nothing. It's just that this is the first time I've made a life-and-death decision. If...if something happens to everyone because of my decision, I..."
Jessica looked at him fixedly, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes: "No, you have done a good job, what you need at this time is decisiveness. If you are hesitant or shirk responsibility, it is really harmful everyone."
As she spoke, she smiled suddenly: "Actually, I'm very happy."
"Happy? What are you happy about?" Sol was a little confused.
"Just now, you really looked like a lord." Jessica's smile grew stronger.
"Haha, it's nothing...Hey, wait!" Sol reacted suddenly: "You mean, I didn't look like a lord before?"
Jessica stuck out her tongue playfully: "I never said that."
Jessica's giggle may have been deliberately done, but it was obvious that the soldiers who saw her and Sol's appearance relaxed obviously, and some of them couldn't help but smile.
"By the way, Jessica." Suddenly, Sol seemed to have made a decision.
"what?"
"According to the current situation, I guess it will be difficult to pass through the isolation zone. I must ask General Pintat for help. You can go on this mission." Sol said solemnly.
Jessica's face changed suddenly: "Why?"
"You are the only girl among us, if anything happens to us, I hope you can live..." Sol subconsciously avoided Jessica.
Sure enough, Jessica immediately refused: "No, I said that I am your steward, and I will stay by your side no matter what the situation is. If someone must ask for help, it should be you."
Sol secretly thought, I think so too, but unfortunately, no matter how greedy he is for life and fear of death, he knows that now is not the time to argue.Pulling Jessica aside, he said anxiously: "I can't leave, otherwise everyone will lose their fighting spirit immediately, and the team will have no way to escape. No one can control Simba except you. Don't lose your temper, go quickly!" Bar."
Jessica still didn't do it: "No, if you don't leave, I won't leave either. Let someone else ride the winged horse."
At this time, many people had noticed the argument between the two, and Jayers almost shouted: "Let me go, let me go, I can definitely find reinforcements!"
Rondo also said repeatedly: "I can do it too, let me go with Lord Jayers!"
Sol ignored them, raised his hand to call out Simba, pointed to the Griffin beast and said, "As long as you dare to sit on it, I don't mind the two adults asking for help."
Looking at the huge griffin beast with sharp mouth and sharp claws, the two took a step back in fright.Jayers murmured: "Isn't there a winged horse, we can ride that..."
Nick said disgustedly: "If there is a chance of survival, it should be given to women and children first. Even Lord Saul stayed with us to take risks. Don't the two adults even want the basic dignity of nobles?"
Chip patted Jessica: "You better go, time is running out, don't hesitate any longer."
"You go, Miss Jessica." Kress followed suit.
"Yes, Miss Jessica, you can go, just get reinforcements as soon as possible..." The soldiers also said one after another. After these days of missions, they all had a good impression of this beautiful girl.
The pressure from the crowd made Jessica unable to persevere. She turned her eyes to Sol as if asking for help, and the latter nodded to her affirmatively.
In desperation, Jessica sat on Simba.Sol took out the peace agreement and the Beamon's magic core and handed it to her: "Take it, if we... you want to live anyway, go back to Lovell, understand?"
For a moment, Jessica's tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably, and while taking the things, she said in a voice that only Saul could hear: "Whether it's life or death, I will definitely come back to you... "
Sol was stunned, and before he could react, Jessica slapped Simba decisively.The griffin fluttered its wings and flew towards the Kingdom of Dinar quickly.
But the words just now have been lingering in Sol's ears...
Seeing him in a daze, Kress patted him strangely: "What's the matter, Lord Lord?"
"Ah, it's nothing, let's go." Sol woke up with a start.
A group of people stepped on their horses exhausted and started their final escape.
More than ten minutes later, with the sound of heavy footsteps, a group of silent orc troops rushed over.They didn't even look at the things discarded on the ground, but quickly chased them in the direction in which everyone was fleeing.
************************************************** *************
With a hiss, a horse fell short and fell to the ground.Kress, who was riding on his back, was thrown out and rolled several times on the ground.
"Kress, how are you?" Saul hurried over on his winged horse.
Climbing up and protruding the dirt from his mouth, Kress shook his head: "I'm fine."
"You ride on the same horse as me," Nick told him.
Now is the 4th hour after entering the isolation zone. The chamber of commerce provides not war horses, but ordinary cargo horses. Their physical strength is not good, and exhausted horses continue to fall to the ground along the way.The spare mounts were quickly used up, and more than half of the people shared a horse, which delayed their speed even more.
"Quick, look, the orcs are coming!" Suddenly a soldier pointed to the distance in horror.
At the end of the plain, a group of densely packed black spots appeared in everyone's field of vision, which were the orcs' pursuers.
"Hurry up, let's go!" Sol was shocked and hurriedly urged.
Kress jumped on Nick's horse, and the crowd began to run for their lives again.However, all the horses were exhausted, they almost struggled, and fled forward with one or two people on their backs.
Not long after, a raised mound appeared in front of everyone.The slope of this mound is not high, but it stretches for a long time, almost completely blocking the way, and it is impossible to go around.In normal times, riding a horse can reach the top of the slope in a few minutes, but for everyone at this moment, it is nothing more than a natural moat that is difficult to overcome.
Unanimously, everyone let out a frustrated sigh, and even the horse refused to leave.
"Get off the horse! Get off the horse! Prepare to fight!" Nick pulled out his sword vigorously.
It is unrealistic to climb up with human legs. Even if you can cross the mound, if you don't have a horse, you will be dead if you are caught up by orcs.In this case, it is better to fight here.
Everyone had the same idea, the soldiers jumped off their horses, drew out their only sabers, and waited quietly for the arrival of the orcs.Only Gilles and Rondo seemed to understand that the time limit had come, and they climbed up the slope unwillingly, but it didn't take long for them to collapse to the ground from exhaustion.
"My lord, we can't escape, you can go on the winged horse." Kip said to Sol in a deep voice.
All the horses were exhausted and collapsed, only Sol's winged horse was as handsome as usual, and he didn't even get much dust on his body.
Saul watched the orcs approaching with a pale face, but still shook his head: "No, wait a little longer, maybe we still have hope..."
Chip didn't say anything, and grabbed Sol's arm: "I'm sorry, my lord, this is my duty. If the situation is critical, I must let you go even if I use force."
At this time, a large number of orcs came up to them.In the lead was a group of Behemoth warriors riding war beasts, followed by the super-strength Tauren who were good at long-distance raids.After these days of running wildly, the tauren had froth hanging from the corners of their mouths and were panting heavily, but their blood-red eyes were still full of murderous intent.
Knowing that everyone has no way out, the orcs are not in a hurry to kill them.Under the scolding of several Behemoth warriors, they sorted out the somewhat scattered team, and it seemed that they planned to wipe out the dozen or so humans in front of them with one charge later.
Knowing that the moment of life and death had come, the exhausted soldiers calmed down instead. They didn't say a word, but held the sword in their hands tightly.
Chip was about to knock Thor out and force him to the winged horse.Suddenly, there was a long cry from the sky.
Everyone looked up, only to see a griffin soaring gracefully above everyone's heads in the fiery red sky as the sun was setting.
"It's Miss Jessica, she's back!" some soldiers shouted in surprise.
The orcs on the opposite side were also a little confused, but obviously a little griffin couldn't scare them.A Bimon officer decisively rushed to the front of the team and was about to give the order to attack.
Suddenly, the ground trembled like an earthquake, and a faint sound of horseshoes spread to everyone's ears like a tide.While the orcs were looking around nervously, a row of knights from the Dinar Northern Legion appeared on the top of the hill behind them.
It's reinforcements, Jessica finally found reinforcements!
The knights did not gallop down the hill, but lined up silently, but everyone held their lances high, like a forest of steel.This made the orcs feel more threatened by them. Everyone knew what a terrible scene it would be if a large number of cavalry rushed down from this height.
At this time, Sol and others, who were caught between the orcs and the cavalry, knew that the danger had passed, and they finally escaped from the orc empire alive.
The orcs and the knights confronted each other from a distance, neither side said a word, even the stationary horses neighed occasionally, but in this silence, a strong murderous aura was slowly gathering.
"Are we going to charge? Shall we step aside?" Nick licked his dry lips.
Chip shook his head: "No, the orcs will retreat, they have no chance of winning."
Sure enough, not long after, with an order, the orcs began to retreat slowly.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Sol suddenly stepped on the winged horse and galloped out.
No one knew what he wanted to do, and the soldiers, relaxed from extreme tension, didn't even have the strength to stop it.Only Jessica's exclamation came from mid-air, and the griffin also swooped down.
When he came to a place not far from the orc, Solla turned the rein of the horse and shouted loudly: "Everyone has worked hard, please go back and tell Princess Amada, thank her for sending so many people to see me off. If she does Beast King, please don't forget that we helped her a lot outside Fang City."
Sol's purpose is very simple, since you Amada are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous.No matter whether someone believes it or not, let me create some trouble for you first.
Sure enough, when they heard Sol's words, the Beamon officers all showed expressions of surprise.Following their yelling, the orcs turned around and quickly left along the way they came.
"Oh my god." Only then did Sol feel exhausted all over, almost slipping off the winged horse.
Turning his head, he saw the cheering soldiers, Gein leading the team down the hill, and Jessica, who dismounted from the griffin, ran towards him with a joyful and reproachful expression...
"I survived..." With a sigh, Thor fell to the ground with his limbs spread out.
