I'm not that kind of orc

Glory of the Orcs (4)

Can we rush out, how many people can rush out... The current situation does not allow us to think about so many issues, everyone has only one thought - to rush out!This idea was imprinted in my mind like a branding iron, so hot that it seemed to set my whole body on fire at any moment.

Not only the convoy, but the seemingly invincible mountain beast is also under attack.Several synthetic beasts rushed to the side of the mountain beast, trying to slow down its speed.I controlled the beast soul to ignore those attacks and just charged forward.It must be fast, fast enough, so fast that these monsters have no time to hold us back. If we are slowed down to escape, sooner or later we will be squeezed by the herd to the point where we cannot move.What's even more frightening is that when another team of synthetic beasts catch up behind us, the scale of the siege we have to face will be twice as large as it is now!

The mountain beast that opened the way for us slowed down after all, and its side was stained with blood in a blink of an eye, and there were six synthetic beasts hanging on it.Not only that, among the synthetic beasts that attacked it, there seemed to be poisonous species, and the poisoning reaction made the beast soul's body start to twitch.Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately controlled it to hit the right side of the avenue, and then fell down there.

The huge body of the mountain beast fell like a landslide, and several synthetic beasts were crushed under it before they could escape in time.Not only that, I also let the beast soul struggle on the ground with its last breath, and turned its body into a roadblock to block the synthetic beast from the right.

It has fully completed its mission, and we can break through the front of the herd in just twenty paces!

I cheered up, pointed the ax forward to the left, and summoned the Swamp of Shadows, trapping the synthetic beast that intended to rush to the road from the left to intercept us.

All that was left was the last four who charged forward.

The two throwing daggers thrown by Tilawa flew past my face one after the other, accurately stabbing the two targets, and the electric shock instantly penetrated the synthetic beast's whole body, causing them to collapse in convulsions.

I drove the beast souls and charged at full speed, and at the same time summoned the "ancestral heroic spirit" and swung the vibrating ax at the two synthetic beasts that were rushing towards me, chopping them to one side.

In this instant, the clouds and the sun were clear, and a straight road appeared in front of us, and we finally broke through the herd of beasts!

I turned my head and took a look. The two carriages were safe for the time being, but there were six fewer cavalrymen escorting the convoy—to some extent, the number of such victims was much less than expected, and it could even be said to be relatively lucky. of.

There is no time to mourn for those who died. For those who survived, the crisis is not over, and the synthetic beasts are still chasing after them.Their direction was to rush towards us at first, after the convoy broke into the herd, their direction changed to concentrating on the convoy, and after we rushed out, their direction finally turned to the opposite direction from the beginning , biting the back of the convoy so hard that they couldn't pull any distance away.A few synthetic beasts rushed up along the rugged rocky ground on both sides of the avenue, trying to go around to the front of the convoy again.Tilawa pulled out the dagger and threw it. This time she decisively used the red blasting dagger, and the synthetic beast whose eye was pierced by the dagger was blown up before it even had time to howl.

But it was still not enough. More synthetic beasts ran to the side of the convoy. There were obvious individual differences in the running speed of synthetic beasts, but a large part of them were not inferior to horses. We couldn't get rid of them at all, and we would fall into the siege again at any time .

This is the real difficulty of escaping with a carriage. Compared with synthetic beasts, a carriage full of people is still too slow to move forward at full speed. Everyone around the carriage will be slowed down.

How long will it take for the reinforcements from the fortress to arrive?With us rushing towards each other like this, a quarter of an hour... No, maybe we can meet in less than 10 minutes!But at the speed of the carriage, it may not last for 2 minutes before being surrounded again.One-third of the cavalry has been sacrificed, and the formation of the protective carriage is already full of gaps.At that time, these synthetic beasts will tear through the cavalry line of defense, and it won't even take a minute to kill all the people on the carriage!

To put it simply, someone still needs to break it, at least to use it as a bait to lure some synthetic beasts away, reducing the number of synthetic beasts chasing the convoy.

"Tilava, follow the convoy!" I turned my head and shouted at Tilawa.

"Master Bullock?" She stared at me with wide eyes.

She saw my intention, and that look meant "too dangerous".

"It's just me alone, and I still have a chance to kill it." I shouted bluntly, "No one can get away if this continues!"

Tilawa's brain turned quickly, and she immediately understood the situation, and finally nodded to me.

No matter how you look at it right now, being a bait is something that only I can do.The horses couldn't run over the rocky terrain that flanked the road, but the worgs could.I can approach the herd of beasts and then turn to other directions other than the avenue, leading part of the synthetic beasts away.

Although my mental and physical strength is close to the limit now, I still have a chance to fight my way through a herd of this size again. If others go, they probably will never return.

Immediately, I made the warg turn around and ran towards the tail of the team. When I passed by the last cavalryman, I took the "ancestral heroic spirit" and swung the axe, and the horseman who was closest to the tail The synthetic beast was cut in two.

The herd of beasts chasing the convoy was right in front of me, and I immediately turned again close to the front of the herd.However, this time I did not continue to follow the direction of the convoy, but jumped off the avenue, rushed to the rocky ground and ran forward to the right, diverging from the convoy traveling along the avenue.

The composite beast was really attracted by me who suddenly ran to the front of the herd and ran away with a shake.And the effect of this attraction was beyond my imagination—at this moment, almost all the synthetic beasts turned their targets towards me, and even those synthetic beasts that had already run to the side of the convoy suddenly turned their heads and rushed towards me. It seemed that everyone else in the convoy suddenly lost their appetite, and I was the only delicacy worthy of being on the dinner plate.

This accident is not a bad thing, I was originally here as a bait, the more synthetic beasts attracted to me, the safer the convoy will be.It's just that the number of synthetic beasts I have to face will be more later, and the difficulty of getting rid of them and fighting a way will increase a lot.

However, this mode of action is really weird...

"Master Brock!" Tilawa also noticed that the number of synthetic beasts charging towards me was a bit unusual, and the cavalry also turned their heads to look over.

"Let's go! Let's go!!" I shouted at them, swinging my tomahawk.

It doesn't make much sense for them to come over for reinforcements. It is their task to lead the convoy out of danger.

Glory of the Orcs (5)

When I was in the riding class in the warrior camp, my instructor once taught me that the key to the retreat of a mounted wolf is nothing more than the integration of man and wolf, running fast, flexible brains, changing directions, and moving accurately. *...But the tactics above this still need specific analysis of the specific situation.

There are no more than two situations for retreating, one is being chased by wild animals, and the other is being chased by other cavalry.

The situation of the former is generally that they are encountered with large species or herds that cannot be hunted. In that case, the rider cannot give too much intervention to the mount, and should let the wolf run as much as possible.The wolf is a species in the middle of the food chain in the wild of giant beasts. They hunt herbivorous species such as the mountain beast and the hoofed cow. The escape instinct makes them more aware of how to deal with other beasts.

In the latter case, the rider needs to analyze the movement of the chaser himself and accurately control the movement of the mount.Because cavalry know how to deploy more complex tactics than animals, their behavior patterns are completely different from wild beasts.

But now, being chased and killed by hordes of synthetic beasts on the rugged wasteland, I feel that the action patterns of these synthetic beasts are getting closer and closer to cavalry acting collectively, rather than wild beasts acting on instinct alone.

Since they gave up the convoy and all chased me, they no longer rushed to attack as before, but focused on stopping me.They move in order, and their collective action reflects the same highly concentrated will.

This suggests that someone is manipulating them with precision, like a chess player with his pieces.

They all abandoned the convoy and turned to me because of the will of the manipulator, because the man who manned them was more interested in me.

I'm afraid it's impossible to control it through the possessed familiar... It's Drakeway, that guy is nearby.

The synthetic beasts of the second team finally caught up, and the number of synthetic beasts chasing me surged to seventy or eighty.Wargs can run much faster than horses, and they can also adapt to this kind of uneven rocky terrain. However, among these experimental synthetic beasts of various shapes, there are also varieties that can catch up with wargs.

I swung my ax and chopped off two approaching synthetic beasts, but in the end I still couldn't defend against a sneak attack, and another snake woman rushed out unpreparedly, while the other synthetic beast on the right side of me was guarding against it with its long snake tail. to my mount.

The already exhausted Warg failed to jump over and was tripped.But fortunately, I had already anticipated the possibility of the mount being attacked. When I was thrown forward from the wolf's back, I turned over and adjusted my posture, so as not to fall when I landed and become a target for the group of beasts to attack. .

But in fact, these synthetic beasts didn't take advantage of this opportunity to attack them, and they didn't have any other actions except to surround them.When I pulled out two axes to prepare to deal with the siege of the beasts, I suddenly discovered that these monsters actually left me a space, but only surrounded the place three meters away from me.

"Hey hey hey hey..."

A cold laugh floated over, and the sound came from a four- to five-meter-high mountain rock ten meters away.

I turned my head and saw a figure like a dead tree climbing the rock.

It was an elf with sinner tattoos on his face. His facial features were similar to that of Quirrell, but he was much older and looked quite sick.His skin was shriveled and shriveled like a dying old man, his eye sockets were sunken, and his mummy-like body was wrapped in a dirty prayer robe, so skinny that it seemed that a strong wind could not withstand it.

"Drakeway?" I frowned at him.

"The material that slipped out of my palm jumped back again, it seems that I am not bad luck." He grinned, and spoke to me through the dozens of synthetic beasts surrounding me, "In terms of the preciousness of the material, you are comparable to those human beings. The child is much taller. I must admit that I was so impressed with your escape yesterday that I had to be a little more careful this time in order to catch you."

It seems that the main target of this alchemist attacking the convoy at first was the little devils, and then turned his main target to me after I appeared.After the team broke through the double-teaming of the synthetic beasts and I left the team, he made a choice and let the synthetic beasts gather to surround me.

"It's not prudent to show your face in a big way." I glared at him and said, "But it saves me the trouble of looking for you."

"The most important thing in doing research is to be realistic. After all, it is an important experiment. I have to be there in person to confirm the results of the experiment with my own eyes." He said calmly.

"Experiment?" I didn't understand his words.

"That's right, an experiment. I really don't have the confidence to capture you alive. Since I can't get a living body, I should naturally collect as much information as possible while the material is alive." A sinister smile appeared on Drakeway's face again, " Just let me see where your limit is when you combine the power of that unknown creature. Don't worry, I will leave you with a whole body, after all, I am still waiting to dissect your body and extract your blood samples."

At this moment, the puppet-like synthetic beasts around me suddenly moved. They arched their bodies and let out a low growl, exuding a strong killing intent. I finally understood the purpose of Drakeway's appearance. This vengeful guy wants to sit in the special seat and watch me being tortured and killed by his synthetic beast.

I can only win by taking risks. No matter what, his appearance always gave me a chance.Shoot people first and shoot horses, capture thieves first and capture kings first, as long as you kill this guy all the way, put an ax around his neck and restrain him, you should be able to escape from here.Even if he took a step back and hacked him to death instead of capturing him alive, these synthetic beasts manipulated by him should fall into a moment of chaos, and it would not be impossible to break out again.

To be honest, I prefer the latter of these two methods of disposal. Looking at this guy's face and thinking of the human cavalry that was sacrificed just now, I feel angry.

"Then it looks like you're going to die from an accident in the experiment today." With both axes in hand, I adjusted my breathing, ready to go, "It's just right, we can settle our personal grievances!"

"You know? My favorite experimental materials are always intelligent species, humans, elves, dwarves, orcs... The reactions of beasts when they are dying are the same, except for struggling and howling, which is very monotonous. But intelligent species are different. Their reactions were various, and some of them were stubborn like you when they were dying." Drakeway sneered and pointed at me, "At the end, it's really interesting how they completely despaired."

After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and the herd of synthetic beasts turned into a sea tide, rushing towards me from all directions.

Glory of the Orcs (6)

I turned around violently with both battle axes, and the "ancestral heroic spirit" appeared again. The huge spirit body followed my movements, and the outstretched arms spun like a windmill. The huge battle ax built by the spirit body drew a whirlwind of death.

Facing the unprecedented density of synthetic beasts rushing up from all around, such a heroic slash in a circle had the effect of mowing grass, blood splashed like a pour, and in an instant, the surrounding area was empty again, only Da Tan was left. Blood and the corpses of synthetic beasts were scattered on the ground.

For a moment, I was worried that the blood of those synthetic beasts would be as poisonous and corrosive as the ones I encountered yesterday, but soon I realized that I was worrying too much.The blood of this group of synthetic beasts that took the initiative to attack and attack them was normal, the red blood smelled like rust.

Drakeway wants to use my corpse and blood as alchemy materials, if it is not a last resort, he probably doesn't want my corpse to be corroded or my blood to be contaminated with poison.

"That's right. Even a professional necromancer wouldn't be able to hold on to a ghostly body of that size with magic power. Your magic power is nothing small." Drakeway commented with great interest, without any regret at all. The experimental subject I killed, "But there is still a limit to your strengthening, your breathing has long been messed up. From fighting last night to now, how long can you maintain this consumption?"

He noticed it... I am indeed exhausted long ago, and the expensive spells like "Ancestral Heroic Spirit" can't last for too long.

But it doesn't matter, I still have a chance to kill him!

Drakeway started manipulating the synthetic beasts to put a distance away from me again—if the synthetic beasts were sent to my attack range in a dense manner like before, I would be able to harvest all these monsters in a few rounds .Drakeway is not stupid, he is obviously preparing to fight a war of attrition with me, surround me and let the synthetic beasts come up to fight me one by one, until I collapse from exhaustion in this wheel battle.

It's just that he is willing to fight like this, but I am not prepared to cooperate like this.

At this time, I let out a big roar, and rushed straight towards the rock where he was, and at the same time manipulated the "ancestral heroic spirit" to wield a double axe, slaughtering synthetic beasts blocking the way like cutting vegetables and melons, and drove out among the dense herd. A bloody road.

This kind of attack does not require any skills, as long as I use two battle axes to swing at every direction where there are enemies. OK!

Drakeway was obviously stunned for a moment. My reckless charge caught him off guard. He probably didn't expect that I, who was already exhausted, could still burst out with such strength.

A second later, he woke up suddenly, and hurriedly controlled the synthetic beast on the other side to attack my back.

But by this time I had torn through the pack's encirclement and brought him close enough to me—yes, enough for me to target him.

I poured life's fire into the pitch-black battle axe, and instantly cast a magic spell to summon the Spear of Dark Curse and project it towards Drakeway.

Drakeway is still busy manipulating a large number of synthetic beasts to besiege me, and there is no time to dodge this surprise attack. As a researcher who focuses on alchemy, he obviously doesn't have much experience in on-the-spot combat.

He stood on the special seat with ease and hoped to watch my tragic death, but he didn't know that the moment I saw him, I had already planned several ways to kill him in my mind!

The spear pierced through his thin body, and his body trembled like a convulsion, and then he fell forward and fell from the top of the rock.

At this moment, the synthetic beasts that lost control stopped their movements, and I took this opportunity to continue chopping down the synthetic beasts in front of me and rush towards the rock.Once the caster dies, these synthetic beasts will fall into chaos, and they may kill each other. I am going to climb to that rock to summon the beast souls to escape.

But just as I approached the bottom of the rock step by step, I heard a strange roar suddenly sounded at the place where Drakeway fell, and a chill suddenly invaded my whole body.

I have an impression of this sound... It is very similar to the roar that Quirrell makes when he transforms into that humanoid synthetic beast.

A towering body is under the rock. The outline of this monster is somewhat similar to that of Quilo in the state of synthetic beast, but it is obviously much larger. Standing upright, it is a full three meters high. In addition, the surface of his body Wrapped in a bony carapace, with a pair of horns growing on its head and membranous wings growing on its back, it looks hideous and terrifying.

The Spear of Curse I shot was still stuck in his body, but now that he is literally a monster, this injury is not a big problem.He grabbed the body of the spear with his huge bone claws, easily crushed the cursed spear, and the spear instantly turned into black smoke.

Crazy alchemist Drakeway, this guy even transformed himself into an alchemy creature himself!

"Hehehehe, are you surprised?" He laughed mockingly at me with an indescribably weird voice, "This is the powerful body that is destined to evolve to the peak of all living beings with the top alchemy, isn't it? ?”

"...Don't make trouble." After carefully looking at him, I sneered at his boasting, "Compared with the real powerful creatures I have seen, you are so ugly that you can't be more ugly?"

"Then after you die, I will dig out the secret of that creature from your corpse... Your blood should be able to extract a good alchemy evolution medicine, maybe it will bring me closer to the perfect creature One step." He shook his sharp claws, "But before that, let me test your strength with my own hands. As expected, it's better to do it yourself."

After finishing his speech, he rushed forward. It was really hard to imagine that such a huge body could make such a quick movement—jumping up several meters in an instant, leaping over the synthetic beasts between us, and flying towards us like arrows, The bony claws point directly at my celestial cap.

I barely had time to react and control the "Ancestral Heroic Spirit" to block, but at the moment when Drakeway's giant claws collided with the ghost's ax blade, the spirit body of the "Ancestral Heroic Spirit" suddenly faded, and finally the claw directly penetrated The spirit body came over and I had to jump back to avoid it.

He slapped his claw on the ground, and a claw-shaped pit instantly appeared on the hard rocky ground.

"Is the magic power close to the limit? It's rare for me to end in person. It's a bit disappointing." He stood up with a sneer, and swung his claws again to attack.

At the same time, the surrounding synthetic beasts rushed towards it with overwhelming momentum.
