Lord of Arcane

Chapter 62 Orc Trail
It's just that Xia Duo's voice just fell, and almost everyone was quiet. Some team members were still chatting, but now they are no longer chatting, and the atmosphere seems to have changed subtly.

"Captain Gibb?"

"Huh?" Jibu seemed to suddenly come to his senses, "Master Shado, what's the matter?"

"..."

Xia Duo repeated the previous question again, but added a qualifier - "in the forest", Xia Duo also thought of it at this moment. Contact the night watchman of the territory.

The Night Watch is a taboo term in Savile Territory, and even in other areas of Netheril, and most people try to avoid mentioning them.

It's just that Xia Duo is an outsider after all, and it is really difficult to empathize with these taboos. After seeing other people's strange behavior, I recalled this.

After adding the qualifier, Gibb's stiff expression recovered, but even so, Gibb was reluctant to say the word "undead".

"Mage Shado, I joined the territory army for almost eight years, and I have never encountered them in the forest, but I know of people who have encountered moving goblin skeletons."

Xia Duo nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Soon after everyone rested, they continued to look for actual combat targets.

After destroying a wild boar, a herd of deer, and a nest of goblins, everyone returned with their trophies.

This actual combat training was quite successful. Except for two people who were hit by a wild boar because they were not able to escape in time, the others were hardly injured.

This is of course thanks to the care of the veterans and the recruited ex-adventurer recruits, which allowed the ten pure newcomers, including Shado and Dean, to have a good experience.

On the other hand, Sammy and Dewan's situation is also very smooth. There are experienced veterans and ex-adventurers, and they don't go too far into the forest. The actual combat training is still very easy.

In fact, their actual combat training is actually the daily task of the vast majority of adventurers in Savile Town. Of course, the tasks of the territorial soldiers are similar. Except for the guards in the town, it is more to clean up the wild beasts and goblins in the forest. .

Protecting and even expanding the scope of activities of the territorial residents in the territory, of course, this is essentially to open up the territory for Lord Savile.

In the next few days, Xia Duo would take people to the forest to kill every afternoon. In addition to meeting the needs of actual combat training, the team members also gained a small sum of money.

In this way, as the time gets closer and closer to the end of the month, the atmosphere in the military camp is getting more and more tense, and some teams even stay in the field all day, trying to do as much actual combat as possible.

Of course, there are those who are happy, and there are those who are lost. It is good to say that if you are injured a little, there are glorious servants of Amannatha in the camp. These priests who follow the glorious path of Amannatha have extraordinary healing power.

As long as the body is not missing parts, the general injury can be recovered, but if the person dies, there is no way.

In addition, the team is short of people. After filling up, it is very likely that it is an ordinary person and needs to be retrained. The orc wave is at the end of the month. How much time can we train?

At this time, Xia Duo was extremely fortunate that his team only had five pure rookies, including him, and many other teams were simply two veterans and nine newcomers.

If the apprentice knows that it is good to enter and return, and if he still wants to compete for command, it will be a disaster.

……

This afternoon, Xia Duo took people to the Green Pearl Forest again. After the previous practical training, Xia Duo's good performance was seen by everyone.

Gib and Dean's team captain Uk had completely acquiesced to Shado's command, acting like two ordinary soldiers, even the always-elusive Aiwa could be dispatched at will through Gib.

Today, the target of Shado and others is a small goblin tribe. This was discovered by Aiwa when they came out for actual combat training yesterday. Because it was getting late at that time, they did not go further to clear it.

So I went straight to the goal today.

Aiwa and Dean's team's Marvel were exploring the way in front, and Shado and others walked slowly behind.

"Captain Jibu, you just said that this small goblin tribe is likely to have recently migrated?" Xado asked.

"Yes, although this distance has gone deep into the forest a lot, in general, it is still within the clearing range of adventurers and territorial soldiers. If it has been there before, I will definitely know."

After that, Gibb added, "The goblin race is completely non-productive, and it is difficult to settle down in one place."

"Ah."

Xia Duo nodded. Now the goal of the team's actual combat training is mainly goblins. It's not that other goals are bad, but the number of goblins is the largest. .

It's almost impossible to kill.

There are only one dozen or twenty, as few as two or three, and there are even singles. As the recruits become more and more experienced, the effect of such training is getting weaker and weaker.

The number of small goblin tribes discovered this time is nearly a hundred, which is the largest number found in the past few days. Xia Duo still attaches great importance to it.

He plans to use this as his last actual combat training before the wave of orcs.

……

In the distance, Xia Duo could already see some simple fences built with dead branches and rotten wood, and seven or eight mud-colored creatures half-human height were standing there motionless.

"Stop!" Xia Duo quickly shouted in a low voice.

He has personally heard the language of goblins, and knows that goblins are also intelligent beings, but compared to humans, their intelligence is somewhat lower.

But a small tribe with a number of nearly [-] will always be a little smarter.

"Captain Gibb, let Aiwa come back."

"Yes."

Gibb took out his bone whistle and blew it long and short, and soon Aiwa appeared, and even called Marvel back.

"Aiwa, what's going on with the goblin tribe now?" Shado asked.

"There are eight or ninety goblins in total, and more than half of them are old and young goblins, probably formed by the merger of several smaller gangs."

"Marvel, what did you find?"

"It's similar to what Aiwa probed, but I was an adventurer before, and I learned a little goblin language. I heard a lot of goblins talking about orcs."

Orcs?Shado's eyes lit up, "Are you sure they're talking about orcs?"

"I'm sure."

In this case, Xia Duo didn't need to say that, everyone had already guessed that these goblins were probably driven out by the orcs in the depths of the forest.

The orcs have already descended the mountain, and they have even entered the Green Pearl Forest.

Now Shado and the others are likely to be a short distance away from the goblin tribe's escape from the orcs.

Almost subconsciously, a thought appeared in Xia Duo's mind - lead the team back first!

However, this idea only appeared for less than a second, and it was denied by Xia Duo. Going back now will hurt morale. Do you want to face the orcs in the future?

"Aiwa, Marvel, you search for the direction when the goblins came, go check it out, pay attention to safety!"

After giving the order, Xia Duo was ready to inform Sammy and the others about the situation discovered here. Unexpectedly, Sammy's news arrived one step ahead!
