I'm not that kind of orc

"That side!" The cavalry pointed to the direction we turned back to the fortress, "The scouts said that many monsters appeared 500 meters away!"

Amalgam - that was my first reaction.

Synthetic beasts will suddenly appear in the direction of turning back...

There are two possibilities, one is synthetic beasts that are active outside—such as the ones that attacked us in the woods last night, when they were recalled to the stronghold, they just appeared behind the transport team and caught up. Bad coincidence.

But to be honest, the possibility of this situation is not very high, because we who rushed to stop the transport team flew from this direction and along the air road. If the transport team was followed by a group of synthetic beasts, we should It will be seen first.

The second possibility is that the transport team has already been spotted by the enemy's eyes and ears deployed nearby, but the opponent did not attack directly, but chose to send a team to covertly go around to the rear and cut off the transport team's rear. Road, and then slowly follow up.

Both situations are very bad, and the latter is abysmal.If the enemy discovers the convoy first and at the same time chooses to outflank it from the rear, it means...

"Brock!" Quirrell, who was still on Lei Diao's back at this time, suddenly called me.

I looked over, only to find that this kid stood up on Lei Diao's back, and the big bird stepped on by him turned his head to stare at him to express his dissatisfaction, but he just stared in the direction of the barren mountain road in bewilderment .

My heart suddenly "clicked".

"Did you see something?" I yelled at him.

"Those things I saw yesterday, over the mountain... ran out a lot." He pointed to the front and said to me.

Hearing this sentence, my heart plummeted to the bottom.

Qi Luo, whose half body is a synthetic beast, has much better eyesight than ordinary people. He said that if he saw it, he should have seen it. What's more, I know very well that if a group of synthetic beasts appeared behind him, it would happen in all likelihood.

Nine is the case.

That's right, if the current situation is that not only are we surrounded by the enemy at the rear, but there is also a group of synthetic beasts coming aggressively in the direction of the barren mountain road ahead-this transport team has already been surrounded by the enemy!

Now we have nowhere to escape—sure, I might ride the beast spirit and go first, but the refugees who stay here and the soldiers who escorted them are doomed to die.

The situation is far worse than I expected. It seems that I have to withdraw my idea of ​​luck. Today is really... terribly unlucky!

Glory of the Orcs (2)

"We're double-teamed." I conveyed the situation to the cavalryman and asked him, "How many heads did your scouts see?"

"About forty or fifty." The cavalry answered solemnly.

In that case, the team from the other end is probably of the same order of magnitude.

And now, is it possible for all members to escape the siege unscathed?

Unfortunately, almost zero.

Add up to nearly a hundred synthetic beasts, surrounded by two ends of the avenue, both sides of the avenue are rugged rocks, can not walk, there is no way to escape, the only way to escape is to charge in the direction of the fortress to break through.

There is a very real problem here. Under such circumstances, the refugees carried on the carriage will undoubtedly become a burden. If you want to protect them and break through, it is hard to say whether you will be killed or not.

But the opposite is not the case. If they are left as a backing to drag some synthetic beasts to break through by themselves, the chances of survival will be much higher at once.

"Your Excellency, is there anything you can do?" The cavalry spoke to me in a difficult voice, and he seemed to be pinning his hopes on me in a desperate situation.

"Unfortunately, two fists can't beat four hands." I shook my head.

The cavalry, who understood the situation, fell silent with ashen faces.

"But I still intend to stay." I glanced at the young cavalryman in front of me, "You are free to do whatever you want."

Abandoning these people and stepping on their corpses to escape, this kind of behavior is fundamentally different from retreating when the people are dead, and it is against the honor of a soldier.People who don't understand may think that this approach is a bit pedantic, but for us, this creed is our foundation and must not be abandoned.

The young cavalryman was stunned for a moment when he heard my words, and then smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I wanted to escape a little bit, but ah..." He turned his face to the convoy behind him.

I followed his gaze and noticed that the "refugees" escorted by this team of cavalry were a bit special.Almost all the people crowded on those scooters were children—yes, those little devils that Princess Alyssa and Feilan had guarded before.On the carts of this convoy, apart from the soldiers who were the drivers, there was only one adult in each cart who was in charge of watching these children.And these little ghosts still don't know what happened. Some of them looked curiously at me who suddenly descended from the sky on a giant eagle, and some of them even curled up in the blanket and fell asleep peacefully.

"Our destination is actually an orphanage on the outskirts of Oak Town. It's really a little bit to abandon these children..." The cavalry said and shook his head.

It seemed that the cavalrymen's strong sense of morality prevented them from leaving these children behind.

At this time, I saw some cavalrymen driving the children off the wagons and letting them climb into other wagons-they were trying to gather all these people into two wagons as much as possible, and those who were driving wagons The soldier directly cut off the rope of the cart and gave up the goods, then took the weapon from the cart and rode on the horse by himself.

"What are you going to do?" I asked the young cavalryman.

"Our captain said that if you can't run, you can take a gamble. There may be a chance to open a road to send one or two carriages out." The cavalry replied, but his expression was unusually calm at this critical moment.

I realized that these soldiers chose to carry out their duties in the end.

They want to break out with these little ghosts.

"Then let me help." I waved and summoned a warg as my mount.

The cavalryman stared at me for a moment, and finally said nothing, just nodded, and went back to his queue.

"Tilava, you go to Thunder Eagle's back and bring Mr. Chilo—" I turned my head and confessed to Tilawa.

"Lord Brock..." As a result, Tilawa actually interrupted my words.She frowned, narrowed her eyes and looked up at mine. This is the first time I've seen her show such displeasure to me, "You don't want me to escape here, do you?"

Also as an orc, of course I understand her thoughts, I can only pat her on the shoulder and try to persuade her: "Well, you... are not at this age yet."

In the end, this one seemed to touch the girl's reverse scale.

"I am also qualified as a fighter in the tribe, please don't treat me like a child!" Tilawa waved my hand away, "I decided to come with you, so I have such mental preparations. You want me to escape, okay Ah yes - if you go with me, I will go, and we will be deserters together!"

She stared at me seriously, and raised her finger to the Thunder Carving Beast Soul next to her.

Looking at her pair of eyes that are still a little bit childish but not lacking in sharpness, I feel that I have finally lost the battle.

This girl also has the honor of being a soldier that I uphold.I finally realized that what I said just now seemed to have hurt her self-esteem.

In the case of Igna, if I told her to escape, she would probably stab me with a knife...

After a moment of silence, I sighed: "...can you ride a wolf?"

"Well, of course!" Seeing me change my words, Tilawa nodded vigorously, and the expression on his face changed from cloudy to clear.

Looking forward, Tilawa knows how to throw enchanted daggers. In this situation of few to many, this kind of powerful cover attack can greatly increase our success rate of breaking out.

Finally, I shifted my gaze to Quirrell who was still standing on the back of Thunder Eagle: "Quirrell, sit down."

Quirrell heard my voice, and sat down obediently on Lei Diao's back again.

"You go to the fort first, which is the big, big castle we came out of, remember?" I said softly to him, "You go back first and wait for us there."

"Where are you... going?" Quirrell blinked.

"We stay here, we have some things to do." I reached out to touch his head, "I'll be back soon."

Beast souls are different from elves' familiars. They have a certain ability to act independently. Even without the constant control of the caster, they can still complete some commands independently. Even if something happens to me, this lightning sculpture can send him back Fortress to go.

"But, it's very dangerous here!" Quirrell suddenly widened his eyes.

I can't talk to him too much...at least he will go back safe and sound. If I can foresee that things will get so bad, I will definitely not let him come with me.This was my negligence, and I have to take responsibility for it.

"It's okay, this amount is nothing to me. You go back first and be obedient." I casually walked over, patted his head, and stepped back.

Then with a thought in my mind, I controlled the Thunder Eagle to flap its wings and fly up, and the turbulent wind blew in front of me.

"Hey, wait a minute... Brock!" Quirrell yelled at me helplessly as he sat on the back of the Lei Sculpture that was gradually rising into the air.

Glory of the Orcs (3)

The Thunder Sculpture drove Quirrell away from the road, over the rocks, and flew straight towards the fortress.I turned my head and glanced in the direction of the barren mountain, and I could already vaguely see the figures of synthetic beasts swarming.

If you want to break out, you have to go in the direction of the fortress.

I also summoned a warg for Tilawa, and we mounted our mounts and walked towards the front of the convoy together.The cavalry gathered all the passengers on the two carriages with the highest wheels and the horses in the best condition. All the goods were abandoned. Except for two soldiers who served as coachmen, all other soldiers rode on horseback. The entire convoy was finally reduced to two carriages and Eighteen cavalry surrounded the carriage.

The synthetic beasts in this direction are much closer, the distance is only more than 200 meters, and we can clearly see the figures of those synthetic beasts rushing like a pack of wolves.Although these synthetic beasts have strange appearances, their individual sizes are not very large, and they are basically of the same order of magnitude as the horses mounted by the cavalry. This batch of synthetic beasts is responsible for going around to the rear of the convoy to track them, and then outflank them, as a matter of course Do not choose too conspicuous varieties.

This is a good thing for us. If all we have to face are the kind of behemoths that can smash a carriage with one foot, it is simply wishful thinking to break through.

Many of the children in the car already understood what was going on. They came from towns and villages destroyed by the enemy, and they were no strangers to those synthetic beasts. More than half of them were crying, and the soldiers had no time to appease them. , can only order them to hold their heads in the car and shrink up, so as not to be knocked out when the carriage is driving fast.

The leader of the cavalry was at the front, holding his own helmet, which was obviously different in style from the others.

"Your Excellency, we met in the fortress, do you have any impression?" Seeing us coming to the forefront, he turned his head to greet me and saluted us briefly. With a smile of joy in bitterness, "It seems that today is not a good day for traveling."

"Yeah, I think I'll do more divination before going out in the future." I also smiled in cooperation with him.

"If I can go back alive, I will remember... Now I am a little glad that I am a serving soldier. At least our army pays a lot of compensation for those who died in the line of duty." He scratched his head.

"Oh, that sounds really good. Is it too late for me to enlist in the army?" I raised my eyebrows.

"You are now a member of us, and so is this little orc girl." The team leader nodded to Tilawa again, his expression suddenly became serious, he raised his hand, and gave us a military salute, "Thank you both for lending a helping hand, it is our honor to fight side by side with you."

"So do we." I also gave an orc military salute.

Then we moved our eyes to the front, and there was no other redundant dialogue.There is no point in talking too much, morality, honor, faith... everyone's reasons for staying may be different, but since they stay, they should all know how much their choices might cost them. Clearly the things to do are all the same.

The monsters approaching in front rushed like a rising tide, and the short period of a few seconds was too long for people to suffer.

Then, the leader of the escort drew his sword and shouted hoarsely: "Come on!!!"

The echoing shouts came and went, and the cavalry rushed out around the carriage that suddenly started to speed up. The formation of cavalry turned into sharp swords, stabbing at the oncoming synthetic beasts.

I rushed to the front, attached to the wolf's back, calmed down, and focused on summoning the beast soul.

If you want to break through, you must tear a hole in the defense line of the opponent's array, just like breaking through a city gate.

I swung my tomahawk, and a large amount of blood mist spewed out in front of me. The next moment, a huge mountain beast rushed out of the blood mist, and charged towards the group of synthetic beasts.

A six-legged composite beast charged at the front and slammed into the bony protrusion on the nose of the mountain beast.Then the mountain beast suddenly raised its head and flew it directly to the side.The physique of the mountain beast has an overwhelming advantage over these horse-sized synthetic beasts. In the past, the orc tribe once domesticated this behemoth to serve as a battering ram to break through the city gate!

This call made me feel a little out of strength for a moment, but it was worth it.The charge of the mountain beast was unstoppable, and immediately opened up a way for us in the formation of the herd, and the team soon followed up.The cavalry escorting the carriage let out a burst of cheers. If they could tear apart the opponent's formation, there would be a possibility of breaking through.

But this kind of thing is like trying to cut the flowing water with a knife in vain, and the cut will be filled up by the water in an instant.When the beast soul of the mountain beast opened a path for us in the herd, a large number of synthetic beasts turned to attack us from the flanks.The work of the soldiers began. They waved their weapons in panic or calmly, driving away every synthetic beast that tried to approach the convoy.

Tilawa threw a blue dagger at a synthetic beast that looked like a giant scorpion tail but followed by a snake, and instantly paralyzed it with the lightning strike attached to it—this was not because of mercy, but because the monster It is too close to the convoy, and the choice of the red blasting dagger has a great possibility of affecting others.

We are not here to fight these monsters, our first goal is to protect the carriage from their encirclement.

When we set off, Arsena and the others went back to the fortress to organize people. It will take time for her to return to the fortress before the reinforcements arrive here.But if we can break out and run along the road, there may be a chance to join the reinforcements.

A snake girl jumped up from the ground, trying to cross the line of defense and attack the carriage directly.I swung the pitch-black battle axe, summoned the Spear of the Cursed Spear and threw it out, pierced her chest and stabbed her back—this kind of poisonous and self-destructing individual must never let them have any chance to get close.

At this moment, the convoy is a whole, like a large herbivore in a state of escape, and the synthetic beasts surrounding it are hunting hyenas. They rely on their numbers to attack every possible attacking part, intending to completely delay Pour this big game for dinner.

Soon, someone at the end of the team fell down under such an airtight attack, because a synthetic beast that looked like a lizard suddenly jumped out and bit the hind leg of his mount.No one was able to save him in time, and before he landed, he was bitten by the throat by another leaping synthetic beast, and he couldn't even cry out.

"Rush! Rush!! Don't stop!!" the leader of the cavalry shouted while waving his sword.

Death in battle is inevitable, and the core of our protection has always been the wagons that carried those children.
