Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 467 Despair and Luck

Puchi, puchi!
The sharp arrows tore through the wolf's fur, pierced their necks, and nailed them to the ground.

In just a moment, more than half of the wolves were already dead on the ground.

The remaining wild wolves were terrified and fled in embarrassment, rushing into the lush reeds and disappearing.

"Live, survive!"

Lanier, who was covered in blood, looked at himself, a piece of flesh was torn open on his arm, and there were also small holes on his calf, with blood flowing, which were the bite marks left by the sharp teeth of wild wolves.

All around, none of the companions died.

Bite in a short period of time, unless it bites the throat, basically it will not kill immediately.

However, with this level of injury, what hope is there in this kind of place? !

The heart that was full of hope one moment, is bleak the next moment.

Although Lanier didn't understand what bacteria were or why he would develop a fever after being bitten by wild wolves and wild dogs, he had already traveled such a long way to escape, and he was already very clear about the next fate.

What's more, even if there is no disease, with their injuries, they will not get better every ten days and a half months.

There was no food for ten days and half a month, and the cold winter was coming, and the old and weak behind them were not ready to survive the cold winter.

I'm afraid that on the second day after the cold winter begins, their group will completely disappear in the Kava Forest!
There was a rustling sound, accompanied by the sound of steel clashing.

The surrounding dense reeds were pushed aside.

"God, is it a passing adventure team? I hope to meet some kind people."

Lanier lay on the ground, praying secretly.

On the outskirts of the Kawa Forest, there were a lot of adventure teams active in the wild because there were a lot of untapped magic ores and various magic plants used to refine alchemy potions.

In several cities near the border Great Wall, there are also branch points specially set up by the Adventurer's Guild.

After the Battle of the Beast King's Court, the super-large orc forces outside the Great Wall who often breached the Great Wall and plundered several nearby duchies disappeared, and word spread from adventurers, eventually causing a large number of war refugees to go south.

And the adventure team gathered around here also began to increase significantly.

When they were wandering in the wild, Lanier and his group occasionally encountered members of the adventure team a few times, but those people left indifferently without even looking at them.

Nevertheless, the stories about legendary adventurers told by bards will help people who encounter difficulties on the way.

Lanier also hopes that he will be lucky to be one of those being helped.

Although, that hope is slim.

But still full of hope.

Hope in sorrow.

As the sounds of the armor colliding and the reeds being pulled away got closer, more than a dozen figures walked out of the reeds one after another.

However, seeing the faces of those figures clearly, Lanier's mood fell into the abyss of despair.

orc,

A team of well-armored orcs!

Ten days passed in a flash.

In a blink of an eye, the cold winter has come, the earth is completely covered by ice and snow, and the surrounding area is completely white.

The cold wind howls past,

In the No. [-] pioneering city, Lanier and his partners stood upright on the snowy ground with their waists upright, enduring the cold wind around them, and remained motionless.

Not only his partner, but also his family.

The old and weak women and children in the team all stood behind them.

Stand in military posture.

An orc standing upright in front, holding a whip, glanced back and forth among the crowd like a falcon, scraping everyone's face like a knife.

This made Lanier, who wanted to scratch the itch, immediately frightened and dared not even move.

He stood upright on the snow, letting the snowflakes fall from the sky.

The heavy new clothes are very warm,

Let him be able to resist the cold of this cold winter.

It is said that these clothes are woven from wool.

Wool, Lanier had seen.

Before the territory was burnt to ruins by the enemy country, that mean lord raised a few sheep, and Lanier was once pulled by the lord's steward, leaving farm work to drive sheep in broad daylight.

For those sheep, Lanier's senses are really not very good.

The wool also has a fishy smell, but these clothes are very strange. Not only do they not have any strange smell of sheep, but they are fresh and natural.

It made Lanier feel that even the former lord probably didn't have clothes made of such fine fabrics.

"Thank you, Your Highness Austin."

Thinking about what happened in the past few days, Lanier almost felt like a dream.

Ten days ago, when that group of well-armed orcs appeared, Lanier felt that he was finished.

Not only did he think so, but the companions around him also fell into the abyss of despair.

Orcs in the wild are very fierce.

It is also very hostile to humans.

Not only do they plunder all the supplies of people, but after killing humans, they also carry the corpses back as food.

Along the way, they have been cautious and escaped the orc tribes around the branch by chance.

Unexpectedly, it ended up here.

Originally, I thought I could escape with my life, but this time it became food on someone else's table.

Incomparable despair.

But what Lanier was far from expecting was that those orcs just muttered and discussed for a while, tied them up first, and then smeared some "brown mud" on their wounds.

The wounds bitten by wild wolves felt cool, and the burning pain disappeared.

If it wasn't for the bloody wound, maybe he would have thought he wasn't injured at all.

Then, Lanier and others were escorted away by the group of orcs like sheep.

Along the way, I feel uneasy.

The future is unknown, and I also worry about my family members.

More, it is despair.

I'm afraid that this group of orcs will take them back as living food, and they don't know whether they will be boiled or grilled in the end.

However, what Lanier never expected was that everything was very different from their imagination.

Several refugee farmers were escorted by the team of orcs and returned to a huge newly built city.

On the city wall of this city, there are still orc workers laying bricks. They use a kind of "grey mud" to stain red bricks half a person's height, and cover them layer by layer, extending the height of more than a dozen people. Like a thick mountain.

Throughout the city, there are construction sites everywhere.

The streets, houses, and various facilities have not yet been completed, but the pattern is completely different from the traditional city, which makes everyone feel a novelty.

Looking at the orcs coming and going in an orderly manner, Lanier suddenly felt that this trip might not be as hopeless as he imagined.
