I'm not that kind of orc

Although it was only a finger, I felt as if someone had punched me hard. Immediately, a golden light flashed in front of my eyes, my head involuntarily tilted back, and my body almost lost my balance.

When I recovered from my dizziness, I saw the empress lying in my arms raised her eyebrows, and I didn't know what kind of eyes she was looking at me through the black cloth.

"Hmph, it looks like I'm really in a hurry... let me spare you for now." The queen adjusted her messy breathing, and then turned her face to Aila, "Go and arrange for other people to leave the 'oasis', and take my luggage with you take it."

"Yes! I'll arrange for the guards to see the guests off right away." Aila lowered her head and raised her face after saluting. "Then, Your Majesty, you can personally escort them outside from your humble position."

"No need." The queen waved her hand lightly, and then turned her face back to me, "As for you...you are in such a hurry to leave, then carry me over there, if you can hold on until I am You are allowed to leave immediately."

As she spoke, she pointed to the square directly opposite the palace, which was the edge of the towering cliff.

I didn't think too much about what the queen said, I tried my best to send her up, and walked straight forward when I walked down the steps with her in my arms. My speed suddenly slowed down.Along the way, my arms are already a little numb.No kidding, this empress is really heavy, even if her whole body is made of iron and she is solid, she probably won't be able to reach such a level.

"It's a good thing you can walk." The queen saw my strenuous effort, she pursed her lips and smiled, she stretched out her arms and put them on my shoulders, her two long legs dangling, "Even if I changed my body It is definitely not to the extent that you foreigners can carry it away, and the effect of dragon blood on you has already been revealed."

"Stop talking nonsense!" I squeezed out my voice.

The distance of more than 200 meters made it very difficult for me to walk. When I approached the cliff, I once again witnessed the spectacular scene overlooking the entire dragon kingdom from a high altitude.

"Come closer." The empress pointed to the outside of the cliff.

"What are you doing so close?"

"Just do it." The Queen ordered without hesitation.

I had no choice but to walk to the edge of the cliff again, almost to the point where I would fall off the cliff in just two steps.

"Okay, let's go." I glanced at the queen in my arms.

"Well, that's enough." The Queen nodded, "Put me down."

I breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly bent down to put the queen on the ground.

But at this time, the queen suddenly made a movement, put both arms on my shoulders, put her arms around my neck, and then swayed away from the cliff.

She had great strength, and she just dragged me down the cliff like this. I was unprepared, my feet were unstable, and I took her directly to the outside of the cliff.

What do I want to do here bitch! ?

The sudden weightlessness made me feel cold all over. I was hugged by her around the neck, and the two of us fell down the cliff while hanging upside down.

The heart seemed to be suspended in the chest cavity, and the air flowed into my nose, I even forgot to open my mouth to shout, but the queen smiled at me, her blindfold fell off in the strong wind, revealing her full eyes. They are red gold eyes that smile.

"If you are in a hurry to leave, I will personally see you off." She smiled calmly, then let go of me, pushed me, and sank her position.

I saw her leisurely turn around in the air, and then a white light flashed in front of my eyes, and at the same time, a thunderous sound exploded in my ears.

Then I felt that my body was taken over by a somewhat rough but solid surface. The surface slowly slowed down according to my falling speed, so that I would not directly crash into it to death. I was pressed by a huge sense of overweight. It took a while to feel relieved.

When I stood up, I was stunned.

I am lying on the back of a dragon, a dragon that is more magnificent than any dragon I have ever seen. Its figure is both graceful and full of power. It makes people feel that there is no one in this world more A more perfect creature.Her scales are pure white, the morning sun shone on her body, and the reflected luster was like a battle coat, she raised her head, and her long pale golden horns shone brightly.

The Queen of the Dragon Clan is standing proudly, fluttering her wings and soaring.

We passed a square built on a mountain peak, and I vaguely saw a group of young children who were being led, as if they were doing morning exercises there, bouncing and waving to this side.

"Queen! It's the queen!"

"His Majesty has come out!"

"Your Majesty, come and play with us!"

"Occasionally, I will go for a walk in the square outside the hall. Except for these children who occasionally come to play with me, you are the first person to sit on my back." A voice filled my mind with a smile.

I stared blankly at her, forgetting to answer.

"Hold on tight." After she finished speaking briefly, she raised her head and let out a long roar, and then she flapped her wings and climbed up. The cyclone of the strong wind exploded to the surroundings. I was pressed on her back again by the feeling of overweight, and I was lifted up into the sky by her.

Epilogue: Counterattack of Shadows (1)

The Queen carried me all the way out of the basin, and all the dragons we met along the way saluted us, and those who turned into human figures saluted to this side.Following the direction I directed, she found the airship that was parked, but she didn't board the ship in human form and wait for Aila to send the others, but asked me to go to the airship and ask to sail over. As soon as I knew the direction, I was going to be the first to take me back to the legion station I wanted to go to.

According to her own statement, she seems to want to fly in the outside world for a while to warm up.

The speed of the Queen's full-speed flight is higher than that of the airship, but after all, the journey is far away, and the flight still took more than half a day.Just after noon, lying on her back, her mouth was parched from the scorching sun and her neck was twisted by the strong wind, I heard her suddenly say: "There is blood... and there is a smell of burning something."

I became alert, stood up against the wind and tried to look forward.At the beginning, there are rocky mountains outside the desert. The closer to the edge of the desert, the thinner the sand and dust blowing in front of you, and the clearer the scene in front of you.

The first thing that made me notice something was wrong was the black smoke rising from one place, and then I continued to move forward, and I finally saw the tragic scene.

The camp was completely reduced to scorched earth, and there were orc corpses and broken limbs all over the place. Black embers were still burning on several ruins, and billowing black smoke wandered like ghosts in the low altitude.

There was no one alive in sight.

The scene that greeted my eyes made me feel my body cool down piece by piece. The queen led me down in a circle in the air. At a certain position, I noticed another camp in the distance, the same ruins And the scorched earth, the bodies of the elves can be faintly seen in the thick smoke.

It's Tolivia's unit.

The queen finally landed a dozen steps away from the destroyed camp, lowered her wings, let me get off her back, and then she quickly collapsed into a human form.

"That's why you came back in a hurry, but it seems that you are one step too late." There was no one else present, so she didn't need to close her eyes.She glanced at the scorched earth full of dead bodies, her red-gold eyes couldn't see joy or sorrow, "The war outside is much more tragic than what I've heard."

I looked around in a daze, and it took a few seconds before I realized that I stepped into the camp surrounded by black smoke.The burnt smell poured into my nostrils, and the smoke irritated me to keep blinking. I circled around the camp, shifting my sight from one corpse to another, and began to carefully identify them.

After half a circle, I didn't see Igna, but that doesn't mean she survived absolutely—many corpses had already been burnt beyond recognition, and when I saw the face of one of the male orc warriors , I stopped.

I bent down and reached out to wipe the soot off the other person's face, my heart trembled.

It's someone I know, a warrior from the Bloodaxe clan who was in the training camp at the same time as me. We used to be in the same team, trained together, hunted, and fought side by side.

I suppressed my emotions and continued to read, and found more companions in the tribe. When this legion was arranged, it was mainly composed of members of the Bloodaxe and Shouya clans.

After looking at it completely, I stood up and looked at the dead compatriots around me, and suddenly felt something stagnated in my chest and I couldn't spit it out.

"I advise you not to stay inside for too long, this burnt land smells like a curse." The queen reminded me lightly outside with her arms folded.

I walked out of the camp as promised, took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, but failed.

The raid took place in the early morning, and there were no corpses suspected of being the enemy at the scene, and there were very few traces of the battle. Combined with the situation informed by Tilawa, the army on standby was probably completely and severely damaged in an instant, and even failed to counterattack effectively. get organized.

But it should not be that no one survived. The legion led by Igna has thousands of people, and the number of corpses that can be seen from the scene should be about [-]%. If we fail to organize a counterattack, we will I think most of the remaining people will evacuate to the east.

I went around the camp, searched on the east side, and soon found traces. Those who survived the enemy's raid had indeed organized a retreat.

The rocky mountain area behind the camp, along the valley road or mountain road inside, can go all the way to Wallis Valley, where the Bloodaxe Clan and the Hunting Clan temporarily live, and borders Saidian. As long as you return there, you will have a chance to regroup ——At the same time, it is also precisely because the settlement is in the rear, it is even more important to retreat to the settlement to give an early warning, because the enemy may attack our settlement in one go.

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly tightened.

That's right, after the enemy defeated the orc's expeditionary army and Saidian's support force here, it is possible for the enemy to continue to pursue our tribe's settlement... although I haven't found such a trace yet.

At this time, there was a roar from far to near above our heads. I raised my head and saw the airship slowly descending from the sky and landed about 50 meters away from us.

After the gangway was lowered, Tilawa was the first to rush down from the boat and galloped towards this side.

She rushed past me as if she didn't see me at all, her eyes were completely drawn away by the scorched camp.

She slowed down on the outskirts of the camp, breathing messily and scanning the scene inside, her body was shaking, as if she was about to fall down at any time.

Slowing down from the final shock, she suddenly shouted: "Lord Igna!"

Then she was about to rush into the camp, and I stepped forward and pressed her shoulder.

"Master Bullock..." She turned her face, and my figure was reflected in her anxious eyes.

"I've checked inside, but she's not there. Some of the troops have evacuated to the other side of the valley. Igna is the commander here. With her skill, it's not so easy to die." I tried my best to let my The voice seemed calmer, so as to persuade her to calm down here.With Tilawa's age and experience, I am afraid that most of them have not experienced life and death.There are also quite a few fighters from the Shouya clan here, and maybe there are people she knows, so I can't show too much emotion in front of her for the time being.

At this time, I heard a lung-piercing cry from afar, and turned around to see Tolivia's adjutant, Testa, kneeling on the ground in the temporary garrison of the Saidian troops that was also destroyed. , holding the corpse of an elf soldier and weeping bitterly, probably found his relatives or friends among the dead.

Roland and Miria were also there. Having experienced the war, they seemed very calm, and immediately arranged for their subordinates to enter the camp to investigate the situation.

I turned my eyes to the rocky mountains in the east, and prayed in my heart that the tribe was safe.

Epilogue: Counterattack of Shadows (2)

"The black flame is a fire element that has been impregnated with the abyss attribute. The scale of the technique is very large, and its power can be said to be ridiculously strong. It destroyed two camps in an instant. This is definitely not something that a single mage can perform. .”

After briefly inspecting the scene, Roland mentioned the situation to me with a solemn expression.

"Joint spellcasting?" I speculated that the shamans of the orcs could unite to cast huge spells by calling the "spirit" of the same element together, just like the shamans of the coalition army in the past called on the border of Sidian. Thundercloud like that.Roland also mentioned to me by chance before that the black magic system can also be used for large-scale joint spellcasting by multiple spellcasters through a joint sacrifice ceremony.

But Roland shook his head: "There are shamans accompanying the orcs, and there are many mages in Tolivia's army. No matter what kind of spell it is, it has such power. If it is caused by joint spellcasting, The magical aura emitted during the ceremony will be very strong, and it is impossible not to be noticed in terms of the range and the time required for the ceremony. It should be something else..." Speaking of this, her eyes There was a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and the voice in his mouth slowed down, as if he was dreaming: "...the existence of overwhelming destructive power."

"Okay, let's go to the valley now! If anyone survives, they should all evacuate to the valley where our tribe lives. If you have any questions, just ask them." I was more and more eager to go back to the valley I went to confirm the situation, "I don't know if there was an attack there..."

We quickly organized and set out to go deep into the rock mountain area, and went to the valley where the tribe lived to check the situation there.In order to ensure safety, we did not directly arrive at Wallis Valley by airship, but landed in the area near the mouth of the valley to the west, and then Roland first used magic power to create a familiar to check the situation.

Fortunately, things didn't turn out to be the worst. The enemy didn't go deep into the Yanshan area. The Bloodaxe and Shouya clans in the valley had obviously been forewarned. Martial law has been enforced and heavily guarded. It is conceivable that the survivors of this raid were indeed retreated into the valley.After deliberation, we finally decided that Tilawa and I would ride the beast spirit warg I summoned to arrive at the city first, exchange information with the soldiers stationed there, and ask them to let us all enter the valley.

The warriors of the Bloodaxe Clan and the Shouya Clan guarding Taniguchi immediately recognized us and opened the city to let us in.

After more than half a year, this time I finally returned to the tribe for real, but my mood was not the slightest bit relaxed.

When we entered the walled city, the old chief personally led people to meet me.

"Welcome back, Brock..." He looked at me, probably never thought that he would welcome me back under such circumstances, with mixed expressions on his face.

"Has Igna come back?" I was anxious, and I didn't have time to say hello, so I asked straightforwardly.

"She's safe for the time being, but she was seriously injured when she came back, and she's still recuperating." The old chief seemed to have expected that I would ask, and quickly responded, "Don't worry, there is no one on the tribe's side." under attack."

I let go of my hanging heart a little bit, and then I thought of another thing: "How many people have withdrawn?"

The old chief lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time, then he said, "There are only more than 400 people who came back alive, and the three warriors brought back just now were too seriously injured to be rescued..."

Less than half of them survived.

"Chief Valor." Roland came out from behind me, lowered his head and greeted the old chief.

The old chief also nodded to her: "...It's good that you can come back safely. After knowing that the legion was attacked, we have been worried about whether you are in danger."

"Um... Excuse me, are any of our Sidian compatriots withdrawing here?" Princess Alyssa suddenly stepped forward and asked anxiously. She was always polite and even forgot to say hello to the other party.

When she got off the airship, the tragedy of the elf camp had a huge impact on her, Princess Sedian, and her mood was no calmer than ours on the way here.

"Yes, some of the survivors of Saidian retreated here together. Don't worry, children, we have also provided them with resettlement and treatment..." The old chief tried to appease her.

"I didn't expect that there would be a time when I owed favors to orcs in this life... Huh, it's really ironic." A stern female voice drifted over.

We looked over together, and Tolivia, Saidian's ranger general, was walking towards this side with slow steps.Tolivia was injured, with one arm hanging limply by her side under the blood-stained and scorched cloak, and bandages with runes were wrapped around her forearm to shoulder.Her footsteps were unsteady, her upper body was unnaturally tense, and her back was slightly arched. It was obvious that there were injuries elsewhere on her body.

"General!" Testa, who had followed us into the city, rushed over and reached out to help her, but she knocked her away with her shoulder.

"There are still wounded people in the tent at the back, and the manpower for treatment is very tight. You should hurry over to help now." Tolivia ordered coldly.
