Lord of Arcane

Chapter 72 Choices
Green Pearl Forest.

Barreris led [-] soldiers as the forward, and had traveled more than ten miles in the Green Pearl Forest. During this period, he encountered orcs no less than ten times, but each time was discovered in advance by the Sandur mage.

A total of nearly [-] orcs were beheaded, and each time the battle was over, Barreris would order people to collect orc heads and take them with him. As they went deeper, the number of encounters with orcs became more and more frequent.

It wasn't until Barreris had collected nearly a hundred orc heads that Mage Sandur found him, "Captain Barreris, I may not be able to take care of everyone if I go further."

Is this to evacuate?Barreris frowned, and before he set off, Coyaent specifically instructed him that he could not retreat unless he encountered a large group of orcs that could not be matched, or collected 200 orc heads.

At present, neither of these two conditions has been met, how can it be possible to retreat?
"Mage Sandur, you can do your best. Before we came, we were ready for a bloody battle with the orcs. If the situation is very dangerous, I allow you to evacuate ahead of time."

Speaking of which, Sandur didn't say anything anymore, just pinched the magic of running away at any time. As long as he was sure that the situation would endanger his life, he would leave.

Not even a lord could force a full-fledged mage into danger.

……

The difficulty of the orc tide is not that humans cannot confront orcs head-on, but that it is difficult to compete with orcs in the same or even smaller numbers.

Every year on Wolfshen Mountain, orcs leave the tribe to venture, fight, and loot outside. Their first stop is the Savile Territory in the north.

It can be said that if there are not a large number of adventurers and soldiers entering the forest to clear some of them, then the once-in-a-decade orc tide will be more difficult to deal with.

While commanding the troops to move slowly, Keyan combined with the information from Barreris ahead, and began to design how to guide the orcs to fight at the designated position, and the more the better.

This is the order of the Lord, and he also has his desire.

He wanted so much to kill all the orcs!
"Uncle Koyan!"

A clear female voice came from behind, and Ke Yan looked back, and a female mage in a gorgeous robe approached him on horseback. The tall and robust forest horse set off the female mage even more majestic.

Of course, in Ke Yan's eyes, this kind of majesty is only a child's forced maturity. Seeing this, he can't help but laugh a little, "Miss Niya, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Uncle Keyan, why didn't you assign me a task? Father didn't let me play in the forest!"

cough--

Ke Yan was also worried that it would backfire. Seeing the Green Pearl Forest map in his hand, he instantly thought of an idea, "Miss Niya, now I have a very important task for you."

"What mission? Uncle Keyan, hurry up." Niya immediately raised her staff and said, "I promise to complete it!"

As if feeling the master's will, the forest horse under Niya couldn't help but snorted and kicked the dead leaves on the ground.

"I'm thinking about how to lead the orcs to this location--" Keyan pointed to a location on the map and continued, "I must lead all the orcs as much as possible, even the orcs of the Wolf God Mountain. Can you do it?"

In fact, Ke Yan had already made a decision in his heart, and now it is handed over to Niya, but he does not want her to be idle, and it is easy to cause trouble if she is idle.

But in fact, even without Mage Abbock's entrustment, he could not have exposed the lord's daughter to real danger.

Niya still didn't understand Ke Yan's plan, but she was quite happy to receive "such an important" task, and felt that she was not in vain.

Taking the map that Ke Yann handed over, Nia fell into deep thought. Her father did not inform her of all the plans, but she could still analyze from various signs that this year's orc wave might be different.

Now that she heard Ke Yan's mission, she reaffirmed her guess, but Niya still couldn't guess what the difference was and what plans her father had.

Touching the bracelet on her left wrist, Niya finally gave up her plan to ask her father.

Looking at the map in her hand again, suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and quickly found Ke Yan and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Ke Yan, will my father not come?"

Before Keyan could speak, Nia continued, "Yes, it must be so, because Your Excellency Archmage Oron—"

Having said this, Niya suppressed her voice again, "Do they want to attack Wolfshen Mountain?"

The expression on Keyan's face didn't change, but he still nodded slightly.

"Then these soldiers—" Nia looked at the vivid faces around her, and she couldn't say what she said.

"They must have a close enough frontal battle with the orcs, and even attract the orc warriors on the Wolf God Mountain. This is their destiny."

Ke Yan's voice gradually fell, Nia couldn't bear it, but she didn't know how to speak. No one could object to her father's decision. Moreover, compared with the complete elimination of the orcs, these people——

Niya couldn't weigh it for a while, which was completely beyond her learning range. Magic can solve enemies and solve problems, but it may not be able to solve everything.

Perhaps this is the purpose of her father to let her come.

Nia was silent for a moment and returned the map to Keyan.

Afterwards, the two discussed how to design and guide the orcs to a decisive battle. The Mage's keen insight combined with Keyan's rich experience, and the two quickly enriched all the details.

Everything that follows will be left to time to speak.

……

Savile collar, the barracks to the southwest.

Xado has been in the camp for three full days since he received the call to stand by.

In the past three days, even if there is no magic laboratory that suppresses and balances the magic net, he has "touched" all the elements of [Water Creation] little by little.

Next, he will conduct the first complete [Water Creation] experiment.From theory to practice, he has thoroughly understood all the details, and he has full confidence that this experiment will be a success.

In the camp room, Xia Duo turned the spell notes to the record page of [Water Making Technique]. Even if the ones that were already familiar could no longer be familiar, Xia Duo still gave himself the last insurance.

Entering the state of focus on casting spells, Xia Duo felt that today's magic net seemed to be slightly different from yesterday's, but if he asked him to point out the difference, he couldn't tell.

It can only be said to be an intuition. Of course, compared to directness, Xia Duo is more willing to believe that his will has become more sensitive in the long-term contact with the magic net.

It's just that this level of sensitivity has not yet reached the level that can be described in words. (Insufficient perceptual precision?)
But no matter how the magic net changes, it will not affect his next experiments.

　Do you still have investment quota?I think. . .
