In the surrounding area, within a short period of time, almost all the perpetrators knew that a knight had come here, causing the neighborhood to lose their voices for a while, and the originally chaotic situation seemed to be suppressed for a while.
Chapter 13 Orcs
In the morning, the outside sun rose again.
Under the sunlight, Adier was riding a horse, leading a few people, and patrolling the surroundings quietly.
After a while, he led his people back to the camp where he was stationed, and saw the soldiers gathered in the camp.
He subconsciously frowned, stopped a passing person, and asked him about the situation.
"Someone from the front line has come back. It is said that they have found traces of orcs. Master Fu Laer is gathering soldiers to go there to suppress them." The soldier told him what he knew with a respectful face, and then left in a hurry.
Adier was taken aback, and turned to look forward.
The combat power in the camp has basically been summoned, not only the elite brought by Fu Laer from the castle, but also some trainee knights who were originally stationed here, are among the summoned ranks.
There are still some soldiers coming back outside one after another. They are all soldiers like Adil who were sent to patrol the surrounding areas some time ago, and they are returning intermittently at this time.
Seeing this posture, Adier secretly sighed in his heart, and without much hesitation, he rode directly to the front.
He saw Fu Laer standing in front of the patrol team, still wearing the light black armor on his body, and still looked so mighty.
As if feeling Adier's gaze, the other party turned around halfway, looked at Adier, and nodded slightly to him.
Looking around, Adier consciously walked to the side queue, where all the trainee knights like Adil stood.
He looked around, and Dill was also inside. At this time, his face was more serious than ever, and he didn't dare to relax at all.
After a period of time, when the recalled people almost returned to the team, Fu Laer began to allocate teams.
This time the task is to suppress the orcs. Judging from the information we know so far, this group of orcs is not weak, and they will inevitably need to mobilize a large part of their combat power to go there.
However, there must be no one guarding the camp. During the time of leaving, someone must also be guarding here to prevent robbers and savages from the north from entering the territory to the south.
Of course, for Adil, these have nothing to do with him.
···········
A few days later, in a wilderness, Adier quietly followed the troops ahead, and gradually moved forward.
"After walking this distance, and walking for half a day, we will arrive at that area."
Walking to this area, looking at the team behind him, Fu Laer suddenly said: "Let our people speed up, we must go there within today."
With an order, the speed of the team accelerated again.
But looking at this situation, Adier frowned.
In an unknown location, leading the team forward at such a fast speed consumes a lot of physical strength. If there is an accident, it will be easily frustrated.
In the whole team, not all cavalry, most of the soldiers are actually on foot.
In this world, although the physical fitness of soldiers is much stronger than that of people in previous lives, they will also feel tired after walking under the sun for such a long time.
With his keen sense of hearing, Adier had already faintly heard the faint and violent panting sounds coming from the surroundings, which came from the surrounding soldiers from time to time.
"I hope there will be no accidents." He rode on the horse, looking at the rough road ahead, thinking to himself.
Walking through here, near noon, when I arrived at a certain mountain, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
This abnormal situation has attracted everyone's attention.
Fu Laer was riding a tall white horse, looked at the surrounding terrain, and said with some doubts: "Where are the people we sent out to inspect? Haven't come back yet?"
"Not yet." A responding voice came from behind, also with some doubts in his tone.
Hearing this, Fu Laer frowned subconsciously, opened the corners of his mouth, and wanted to say something.
Whoosh!
At this moment, an inexplicable voice suddenly sounded.
Adier's eyes narrowed sharply, and he felt very familiar with this sound: "Is this, the sound of arrows piercing through the air?"
This thought flashed in his mind for a moment, he raised his head instinctively, and saw the arrow in the sky at this moment.
The strong physical fitness and the instinct of long-term training worked in the first place.
Before the others could react, Adier subconsciously held a shield hanging on the horse, then stepped hard on his feet, jumped fiercely, and returned to the ground in an instant.
He swung his left hand forward fiercely, and the shield in his hand knocked away a few arrows in front of him, before he had the heart to look around.
The horse that was originally sitting was gone, and it was stabbed into the horse's body by more than a dozen arrows. At this time, it fell to the ground and howled.
Others are similar.
Those trainee knights were alright. Although they were taken care of, their own qualities were much stronger. In terms of reflexes, they were not bad. Only a few unlucky ghosts were recruited.
Those ordinary soldiers are much more miserable.
Compared with trainee knights, these ordinary fighters not only react much slower, but also have worse equipment. Some fighters don't even have a rough leather armor. Once they are hit, they will end up very miserable.
Adier noticed that the arrowheads of those arrows were obviously tinged with a bit of miserable green, and they were most likely soaked in some kind of poison.
At the forefront of the team, Fu Laer had a cold expression on his face, the long sword in his hand had been pulled out, and his eyes were fixed on the front with extremely dignified eyes.
Around, in a place that was originally quiet, a muffled sound resounded.
Ahead, in the silent mountain forest, orcs wearing simple animal skin robes, with ferocious faces, about two meters tall, came out from there, each with a bloodthirsty and violent aura.
Compared with humans, these orcs have gray skin and much stronger physiques. They generally carry heavy weapons, which looks shocking enough.
"S. L. Meng."
Inexplicable roars came from the mouths of these orcs.
There was no extra language and communication. At the beginning of the meeting, these orcs raised the weapons in their hands and rushed forward fiercely.
The front was shaking violently, and this group of orcs was very straightforward, taking advantage of the moment when Adier and the others hadn't reacted, they launched an attack without giving them any time to arrange.
Immediately, almost all the fighters, including Fu Laer, changed their expressions.
"It's not right!" At this moment, Adier's heart suddenly shook: "There are so many orcs, almost a small orc tribe, how could they come here without any news?"
The social structure of orcs is different from that of humans. Most of them are composed of individual tribes, and they will only unite when necessary.
Excluding those old, weak, women, children, and females, there are usually only a few hundred fighters in a normal orc tribe that can really fight.
