That's very badass

Chapter 17 The Orc's Change

Along the way, the sun is getting higher and higher, and the temperature is getting higher and higher.Although there are big trees to block it, the smell of decay accompanied by the sultry heat is even more uncomfortable.

In this sweltering weather, Roland was wearing leather armor cuffs, dripping with sweat.

And those soldiers in cotton armor were drenched in sweat, which added to their burden, not to mention whether they were comfortable or not.

As for the new recruits wearing thin linen clothes, each of them was carrying a lot of weight, and they were not relaxed.

Sweat soaked my hair and blurred my eyes, making this summer march a torturous one.

I really don't know what's the point of those kobolds and gnolls living in such a forest.On such a hot day, they are not afraid of setting their fur on fire.

Roland thought maliciously.

In fact, all this is nothing to the cavalry and hacking soldiers. They have long been used to fighting the enemy wearing armor in hot weather.Those who can't stand it have already turned into a piece of loess.

The field of vision suddenly opened up, and further ahead was the orc prairie, where there were big and small orc clans, and this forest was the dividing point.The venomous sunlight shone on the grass, which seemed to distort the space at first glance, showing the mighty power of the sun.

Baron Cowan's fortress is almost at the edge of human pioneering territory. It is only 40 miles away from the orc prairie, not far nor close.

Roland patted his head helplessly, and said loudly about a kind of grass plant.Did I have a brain twitch or something, and actually wanted to fight the idea of ​​an orc, this person, with a little strength, will swell.

Things are imminent, and I'm scared again. It really can't be more real.

With the heart that as long as I don't say it, no one will know my embarrassment.

He decisively led the soldiers to turn around and walk back, preparing to clean up the aliens in this unknown forest.In his opinion, this uninhabited forest is just suitable for his own development. As for whether there is iron ore in the kobold camp.Of course it’s good, if not, it’s nothing more than spending time to let the kobold slaves find it, after all, they are experts.

When approaching the kobold tribe, they encountered a group of a hundred kobold troops.When these kobolds saw the humans, they were taken aback for a moment, then after assessing the number of people on both sides, they rushed over screaming.

Without Roland's orders, the soldiers, who were tortured by the heat, rushed forward with strange screams, and the two sides quickly got into a fight.

Although bored, the soldiers still maintained their basic formation.The infantry lined up in front with their shields up, while the recruits held their pitchforks, protruding from the gaps under the shields from time to time, and then pulled hard, the kobold's body hit the shield, and the pitchforks were pulled out smoothly.

As for the soldiers, they still followed the previous strategy, opening their shields sideways, drawing out their swords, and drawing them out, an enemy was dealt with.The design of the sword makes it almost impossible to get stuck in the thrust.

After losing a third, the kobolds began to flee.

Of course, with their short legs, it is impossible to run past humans; it didn't take long for these kobolds to be brought back.As captives, their hands were tied one by one and strung together in a string.

According to Roland's plan, he planned to torture these kobolds to see if there was iron ore in their camp.Who knows that these kobolds can't speak at all, no matter how you ask or how you beat them, they just repeat "Master, please forgive me."

This dissuaded Roland from wanting to get news.But it also proved that in these kobold camps, there must be a kobold who can speak the common language, and the phrase "My lord, spare your life." Obviously he taught it.

As for these kobolds, there is no place where slaves are traded in Baron Cowan's territory.I don’t know if I can sell it.

Forget it, let's take a step at a time, this is really not a good place for development, there is nothing, and it is too difficult to make money.

After taking these prisoners, the marching speed was obviously much slower. If this continues, there will be no way to make it back today.

The whole team walked slowly, the sun slowly set, and the tall hills blocked the sun.At this time, the breeze blew, and I felt a little bit of coolness.

After looking at the surrounding terrain, Roland and his party decided to camp on this hill.There is only one path up the mountain that is less than three people wide, with unwalkable cliffs on both sides.

Perhaps for most of the small lords, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This is obviously an excellent place to build a fort.But for Roland, there is no room for expansion here, so it can only be a good camp.

All night.

The next day, it was just dawn.They packed up their bags and set off with the slaves in their hands.

It is difficult to tell the direction in the woods, and it is easy to get lost. Roland is looking for the direction on the map.

I saw a huge red dot soon appeared on the edge of the map, marking the orc: 324.This is a group of orcs, appearing here, obviously with some purpose.

The difference in strength was too great, so Roland decided to bypass this group of orcs.They found a place that was not on the orcs' marching route and hid. These kobolds obviously didn't know what was happening.

Roland didn't show anything unusual. He didn't want these kobolds to realize anything, so he just behaved like a normal march.It wasn't until the group of orcs left the map that Roland and others stopped marching, intending to let the group of orcs go first.

After staying for about half an hour, they continued to walk towards Kewan Town. Soon, they found traces of a large army marching.According to the traces at the scene, this is likely to be the marching route of the orcs.

"not good."

Roland quickly realized that something was wrong. These orcs might have gone to attack Kovan Town.

What should I do now? If I march alone, I might be able to get ahead of the orcs and tell Baron Cowan.But without their own guidance, these soldiers are likely to run into orcs or other alien races that cannot be dealt with.

After all, this forest is adjacent to the orc prairie, and some alien races such as half-orcs, kobolds, and jackals have all been expelled to this forest by the orcs.

However, these kobolds can't stay anymore, just do it when you think about it.

Roland first recruited 20 recruits, decisively based on the experience of the arms group, and ordered the soldiers to kill these kobolds one by one.Looking at the corpses of these kobold captives, he didn't feel any guilt in his heart.

There was even a hint of pleasure, after all these kobolds attacked and killed many nearby villagers.
