Roddy was sure that the orc camp in front
of him was the first tooth of the orc reaching out to the Karen Kingdom-because
of its existence, the orcs will gradually eat away at the border villages of
the Karen Kingdom in the next few years, until the kingdom's civil strife three
years later, a large-scale war of aggression completely began!
Although determined to save the kingdom, but Roddy
understands that he was not yet qualified to explain to others the profound
meaning of this humble camp. After all, he was just a Level 1 Legion Soldier.
"Who will believe him?”
He needs strength! To get the right to speak, he needs
to be strong!
Thinking of the shock he gave these scouts at the
shooting range today, Roddy gave a cough and said, "This should be a
typical small orc camp. According to the number of tents... there should be 28
to 34 people. "
"There are traces of a simple animal fur on the
the periphery of the camp, proving that the opponent has wolf cavalry."
"The opponent's combat effectiveness is not strong
and the wolf cavalry has gone out for inspection. At present, there should be
around twenty people. "
These words startled the scouts-although they could
occasionally see orcs at the border far away or get some information about
these barbarians from the rumors that were passed on by word of mouth, but no
one had ever really seen those tents to give such a precise judgment.
What's more, what did Roddy look like before yesterday?
Of course, they remembered clearly--that was a coward who got easily sacred.
How could he make a judgment of a veteran at this moment?
But remembering the terrible scene of his 12 arrows
hitting the same position today and then beating Ruger, reminiscing what they
had done before, they had to believe the fact... Roddy, he was never as simple
as imagined.
"You ... I--I mean ... if we attack, do you think
there is a chance of winning?"
Carter, the captain, wanted to say a few words to
maintain his prestige, but apparently, he was lacking in confidence and simply
changed his tone and asked politely.
Roddy frowned and looked forward, thinking carefully
and replied cautiously: "I don't think we have any hard hope and there is
a possibility of encountering the other cavalry at any time. The wolf cavalry
usually doesn't go too far because of they--"
He didn't finish his words, suddenly turned his head,
yanked the reins suddenly and said to them hurriedly: "Come on! Come on!
Don't stay here!"
Carter frowned, but he did not hesitate to follow Roddy
and turned and rushed down to the bottom of the grassy slope, hiding from the vision of the orc camp, but the military quality of the group was not as good
as Roddy imagined and the two scouts had poor riding skills. After commanding
the horse for a long time, he still couldn't get down from the top of the slope
immediately ...
Roddy said that he would suffer-although he just didn't
see anything unusual in his vision, but how could forget the unique sound of
the footsteps when the wolf ran? Don't forget, this proves that the expected
orc cavalry unit is approaching!
Although the orcs here are some level 2-4 dregs, those
cavalry had have been a nightmare for all novice players-their power is strong,
once attacked by the wolf cavalry, if there are not enough long-range shooters,
ordinary players will simply not able to contend... even 10 Legion Soldiers with
heavy shields can hardly resist the sprint of the wolf cavalry!
"Damn!" Roddy suddenly stopped covering from
the sound of the wolves in the distance, knowing that the other party had
already discovered the team and he would no longer continue to evade, but
immediately shouted: "Leave here! Hurry! Hurry up!"
At this time, Roddy couldn't even afford to let Carter
order. He knew that the next step would probably be the annihilation of the
entire army and the words in his mouth unconsciously brought on the once "shadow
hunter". The power made the soldiers obey unconsciously.
He glanced into the distance, immediately sorted out a
reasonable evacuation route based on his memory and turned around and shouted:
"I know the safe way to leave, follow me, no one should look back!"
Of course, Carter knew that they should reconcile with anyone
who is reliable at this time: "Everyone, keep up!"
The team started immediately and their warhorses just sped
up, and the low slope on the far side of the field suddenly appeared like a
group of fast-moving shadows...
The orc wolf knight really came out as Roddy expected!
Those wolves were less than the warhorses, but with
the fierce orc warrior on their backs riding towards them with full momentum.
The scouts turned back when they heard the abnormal
noise behind them and they were frightened and immediately kicked their horses
to keep up with the team. The three people who joined the second team scout just
didn't quite understand why Captain Carter would treat Roddy like that. His
language was obedient, ok, but it was at this moment they really understood why
...
The number of these wolf knights were also as accurate
as Roddy judged! No more, no less, just eight!
Fear was rising from the bottom of their hearts... if
it was not for the decisiveness of Roddy's order, they were afraid that they
have been bitten by these guys straight down the hill!
With this in mind, several scouts couldn't help but be
grateful to Roddy, but when they looked back, they found that Roddy's course at
this moment was a bit weird-none of them understood why Roddy's "safe way
to leave" are these rugged hillsides... shouldn't you find a smooth
downhill road?
They were not clear. Although the orc wolf was powerful
in short distances, the endurance is far less than the warhorse. At this
moment, the scout team was basically climbing and those wolves will become
swollen because of their body shape. Slowly, their advantage of short-distance
chase has already been dragged down a lot. Once they are not able to catch up,
the warhorses on the smooth road can certainly throw away these exhausted
wolves.
Because of the long-term peace, the Karen Kingdom has
long forgotten the methods and characteristics of these orcs, but Roddy was
aware of this and there is another reason for him to pick uphill: The wolf
knights are not just made for the charge, it was the powerful "throwing
the net" skill. Once the running horse is wrapped in the net, it goes
without saying. Therefore, at the moment above the slope, the wolf
cavalry's net-throwing skills were also limited, which virtually prevents the
scout team from avoiding another big risk.
A seemingly simple tactical instruction of Roddy
contained the war wisdom in it. It was not something Carter and others can
think of in a short period.
At this point, he led them all the way and passed the
last point of the long-distance uphill, and then led the team to sprint down a
very long slope-when the downhill appeared, the orc wolf cavalry, which had
been suppressed and unable to catch up, seemed to finally see the situation turning
around. The lead guy roared and tried to sprint to catch up but then found that
their wolves were out of breath with their tongues out for more air... so
they watched the distance between the scout team and the human widening again.
But the arrogance and perseverance in the orc's bones
did not let the wolf cavalry give up. After a long period of downhill, Roddy turned
back to confirm the identity of the other party—the black wolf should be part
of the Orc's Hammer’s Rohar Force, their identity is similar to that of Roddy
at this time, but the orc kingdom has a tribal system and their
"chief" is similar to the Duke sitting in the city of Houllier City today.
He is a real figure and the scope of their power is greater than the Duke.
With crude clothes, rusty scimitars, and unmounted
armored wolves, Roddy had determined that these guys will not exceed level 5,
which is the lowest level of the wolf cavalry. Just in line with the
impact of the wolf, these orcs' sword attack power is at least four or five
times higher than that of ordinary orcs. It is not easy to defeat them.
Roddy was not surprised that the other party was
chasing after each other. After dealing with the orcs for so long, he has long
found out the temperament of these green-skinned barbarians. So he decided
to lead the scout team once again to turn uphill...
The team's forward speed slowed down a bit and the rear
wolf cavalry immediately pulled the distance closer.
They screamed and chased after them happily, but when
they also stepped uphill and looked up to the front, they suddenly realized
that ... they seemed to be controlled by the opponent.
Ahead, Roddy's team had reached the top of the slope
and they immediately began to turn!
The head of the wolf knight who was under the long
slope noticed what was wrong and when he wanted to give an order to the wolf
cavalry next to him, he saw that the human that was 40-50 meters away suddenly
raised an orc-like Horn Bow in his hand...
The next moment the leading orc didn't respond at all,
an arrow had pierced his chest!
Because the wolf was rushing forward at this time, the
power of the arrow had even increased. The huge momentum brought his body back,
but he suddenly lost his balance and fell straight down the wolf.
The knight did not have time to dodge and stepped on
his body. Under this kind of superimposed damage, the captain of the most
powerful wolf cavalry was killed without even a word!
