Chapter 649: Battle on the Ice Sheet (Part II)

Bobo took a bite of the flesh and bone in his hand, chewing incessantly, staring at the wilderness in front of him, and let out a cold snort of dissatisfaction. The recent harvest has been very poor, and those cunning humans have increased their vigilance, Bobo has led his own people to go several times without being able to reap the benefits, and now the looted things are not enough for his own people to eat. It was cold, and it was difficult for orc patrols to catch even a rabbit outside, let alone a single grass growing on the snow-covered wasteland, and their Sloes hadn't eaten in a long time. If this continues, my tribe will collapse completely this winter.

That won't work, Bobo has to find the meat, find something to eat, and survive the winter.........

Thinking of this, the stout orc bit the bone in his hand viciously, there was no longer even a shred of flesh on it, and under the cold wind, the whole bone was as hard as a stone. This made Bobo feel even worse, and he gnawed on the bone through gritted teeth, then stood up and threw the bone in his hand into the fire in front of him.

"Woooooooooo

At this moment, Bobo suddenly heard the urgent cry of his own clan not far away, and then the patriarch of the orc tribe saw one of his cronies jump down from the city wall with an excited smile, come to him, and look at his patriarch with a finger and feet.

"Bobo, Bobo, there are humans, fat horses! Cavalry of the Race! ”

"Oh!?"

Hearing the report, Bobo's eyes lit up, he immediately pushed away the clansmen in front of him, and then strode up the city wall, looking into the distance, sure enough, soon Bobo clearly saw dozens of black spots on the snowy plain, which immediately made Bobo excited. Orcs generally do not have a high IQ. But it's not so low as an idiot. Bobo could certainly tell that these guys were human cavalrymen, they wore clothes that were harder than stone, and they rode tall horses, and the orcs often encountered these nasty creatures during the migration of their tribes. But now in Bobo, these guys are not only annoying, but even very tasty......... He swallowed involuntarily. The two sharp fangs exposed from his jaw also moved slightly with Bobo's movements, making him look extremely fierce.

"Prepare, fight, catch them, humans and fat horses!"

Staring at the cavalrymen in the distance, Bobo's eyes showed a greedy look, and he was already fantasizing about how delicious those fresh meats would be when roasted......... Bobo's nose could even smell the smell of barbecue!

"Here they are."

John rode his horse, staring at the abandoned fortress in the distance, and he didn't make a big smug of his presence in front of the orcs. As an officer, John had also fought with orcs, and of course he knew how powerful these orcs were. On the surface, most people only think of orcs as idiots and inferior creatures, but John knows very well that these orcs only look stupid and stupid on the surface, but in fact they are very cunning and murderous, and their thick bodies don't seem bulky at all, and an orc can even run at full speed as a cavalryman who has just picked up. When he was in the Southern Legion, he once saw an orc chasing his cavalry companion in stride, directly dragging the opponent from the galloping war horse. Moreover, the Orcs also possess a unique mount, the Sloum. The tall beast looked like a rhinoceros, but it was a little bigger, stronger, and not slow at all. In terms of charging ability, even the elite cavalry of humans can't compare to these terrifying monsters. There must be a lot of Sloe beasts in a large orc tribe like this, and if you get too close, you might be attacked by those orcs. Although it is said that there are bonuses to these magical equipment made by Rod. Although John's cavalry team was much stronger than the Southern Army, he still wouldn't choose such a dangerous way. So John just led his men to walk slowly far away from the fortress, looking as if they were patrolling, and through his own experience and Rod's instructions, John knew that these orcs would definitely be able to see his presence. And in their current state, they will definitely run out immediately.

Sure enough, at this moment, John saw hundreds of orcs riding Sloe out of the fortress, they shouted loudly, spurred the giant beasts under him, and rushed towards John and the others.

"Everyone prepare, listen to my orders!!"

John raised his hands in the air and shouted loudly, he could feel the tension and fear of some of the people behind him. It's no wonder that Rod's ranks are growing, as are John's cavalry, which has now grown from fifty to a hundred. Although these recruits have also passed rigorous training and are quite skilled, this is the first time they have been on the battlefield. And the crazy momentum of the orcs is indeed terrifying, just watching them shout and charge, and the snowflakes under their feet can't stop flying in the air, it is enough to make people feel an unprecedented sense of oppression. Even a soldier like John, who already had a lot of combat experience, couldn't help but feel a little nervous, let alone those recruits. The heroes on the training ground, the bears on the battlefield are not just talking.

"Calm down!!"

John stared at the orc cavalry that was getting closer and closer, but his voice was still calm, the young commander gritted his teeth, felt the powerful oppressive force, the cries of the orcs were already clearly audible, it sounded like the roar of a beast when it was hungry, and it made people tremble. At this moment, the cavalry behind John gradually felt uneasy, but at this time, John's training on weekdays showed a very good effect, although they were afraid in their hearts, but many recruits still held the reins in their hands and drove the war horses under them, so that they would not run away because of panic, which was the most terrifying nightmare for the cavalry.

The distance between the two sides was shortening little by little, and seeing that those humans did not run away but stayed in place, the Bobo who charged in front of him suddenly showed a little joy. In his opinion, these humans must have been frightened by their brave and powerful warriors, so they stayed there and did not move, and they just rushed over. You can completely solve these humans! Thinking of this, Bobo couldn't help but raise his right hand, brandished the huge stone axe in his hand, and shouted loudly.

"Warriors, rush, grab the humans. Fat Horse!! Let's eat to our heart's content!! ”

"Oh oh oh oh !!"

Hearing the patriarch's shout, the orcs behind him suddenly became excited, they shouted loudly, their eyes bloodshot looked at the nearly a hundred human cavalry in front of them, the kind of greed and beast-like ferocity was unobstructed at this time, the speed of these orcs was getting faster and faster, they could even see the expressions on the faces of those cavalrymen!

"Action!"

And it was at this time that John finally gave the order.

Next. The orcs saw what stunned them.

In the face of the charge of the orc warriors, these human cavalry suddenly turned their horses' heads and ran away in both directions, which suddenly made the orcs a little too late to respond, although they could also continue to charge forward, but the human cavalry spread out to the left and right, and then quickly ran around in a circle towards the depths of the ice field. This made the orcs unable to react for a moment, although their Sloe was fast. However, these huge behemoths are not without their drawbacks, that is, they are difficult to turn and move nimbly. So. Although these orc cavalry have a strong attack power in the charge, they are not comparable to the human cavalry in terms of flexibility, so in the face of these human beings' "fleeing without a fight", the originally imposing orcs are a little confused, they slow down in confusion, looking at the cavalry that has been dispersed. I don't know what to do.

These cunning, timid humans!!

Bobo couldn't help but roar at the scene in front of him, and then he reached out and slapped the Sloe beast under him hard.

"Chase! Keep chasing! Grab one! It's one!! ”

Hear the order of the patriarch. The orcs howled, and then they immediately dispersed, each thinking of the direction in which the cavalry had fled.

All the best.

Lying on the hill, watching the orc cavalry scattered in the distance, Rod nodded with satisfaction, he squinted his eyes, watching those orcs scatter like headless flies, with a cold and cruel smile in his eyes, but soon, Rod returned to normal, he turned around and looked at Marfa, Thor, Lijie and others hiding on the other side, and made a gesture to them.

The action began.

Joey lowered his body and quietly touched the side of the fortress, from the outside, the fortress was not abandoned because of the defeat, it was still largely intact, only the left and back places were somewhat collapsed due to disrepair, the young thief lightly jumped along the half-collapsed ruins to the city wall, he lowered his body, stretched out his hand to test the direction of the wind, and then poked his head out to look left and right.

Although most of the orcs in the fortress followed their leader, there were still nearly two hundred orcs left in the fortress. However, they were very lazy, perhaps due to the cold wind and hunger, and the orcs who had been patrolling the city walls, after seeing their patriarch go out to fight, quickly retreated into the collapsed towers next to them, and huddled together by the campfire to keep warm.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Joey couldn't help but smile a little excitedly, he rubbed his hands, took out the dagger from his waist, and then stretched out his hand and turned it on the guild badge on his chest, and soon, with Joey's movements, a faint pale white light shrouded his body, and then, Joey lowered his body like this, and quietly walked towards an orc with his back to him. And not far from his side, there were also several thieves who quietly approached their target from another direction.

When Joey walked behind his target, the orc still didn't notice any signs of danger, he just muttered something under his breath as he rubbed his hands together to face the campfire in front of him. Joey held his breath and came behind him, and then the young thief suddenly leaped up, and the dagger in his hand sliced through the air and struck at the back of the orc's head.

Perhaps instinctively sensing the danger, the orc suddenly stood up, and the companions on the left and right sides of him also grabbed the weapons beside them at this moment, but before they could realize what was happening, the shadow of death had already swept over their bodies.

The abrupt change of target caused Joey's fatal blow to lose its crosshairs. But the young thief did not panic, after the training in the phantom space, the Midsummer Festival and a series of exercises and adventures afterwards, Joey at this moment has fully equipped with everything that a first-class thief should have, not to mention that he was abused by the little bubblegum and the canary a thousand times and ten thousand times during training, and has already learned to face failures and accidents calmly. At this moment, in the face of the orc's sudden action, the young thief's expression remained unchanged, and the dagger in his hand quickly turned the direction, and then stabbed into the orc's neck from behind.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦οΌοΌβ€

Feeling the attack, the orcs opened their mouths to cry out, these dirty and terrible monsters would not die so easily unless their heads and hearts were fatally injured, even if they were pierced in the throat, they would not die in the first place, but this time. The orcs were not able to scream.

A deep-seated chill emanated from the dagger, freezing its throat and brutally obliterating all sounds, only to see the expression on the orc's face stiffen for a moment, and then, its body seemed to freeze, and no longer moved. At the same time, several other thieves who followed Joey in an attack also succeeded. The two poor orcs weren't as lucky as their companions, and they hadn't even had time to notice what was happening. Several daggers that had been covered with the bonus of water elemental attributes were pierced into the heart and head, and he fell into death without saying a word.

Looking at the corpse lying in front of his eyes, Joey let out a sigh of relief, and he turned around and gestured to his men, motioning for them to move on. But at this moment, suddenly, Joey noticed that a shadow beside him suddenly began to move, and then an orc suddenly walked around the corner. Seeing this scene in front of him, the orc was stunned for a moment, and Joey's heart sank, and he almost immediately held the dagger in his backhand and tried to attack the other party.

"Whoosh!!"

At the same moment, a cold light flashed, and in the next moment, the orc fell to the ground with a heavy fallβ€”β€”β€” and an arrow pierced his head through his eye, so that the poor creature could no longer die.

"Hoo .................."

Looking at the dead corpse in front of him, Joey wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and then he turned around and gave a thumbs up to the outside. Then, I saw Lando and the two rangers climb over the wall like elves in the snowfield, seeing Joey's movements, Lando smiled at Joey, and then he made a gesture to the rangers around him, and soon, the other rangers quickly disappeared into the shadows of the surrounding abandoned towers, they raised their longbows, vigilantly aimed and watched the orcs inside the fortress. At the moment, the orcs in the fortress did not seem to notice that their companions on the city wall had been completely wiped out, and the few orcs in the open space in the center of the fortress were still huddled by the campfire, without any intention of getting up.

"What do you mean, Boss?"

"Get ready to do it, just like in training."

The two exchanged words in a low voice, and then Joey and the thieves quickly disappeared into the shadows, while Lando squinted his eyes, he raised his longbow, and pulled a fiery red arrow from the quiver behind him, and then Lando bent his bow and arrow, aiming at the enemy in front of him, and then ......... He whistled lightly.

β€œβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”οΌβ€

The crisp whistle was very clear in the quiet fortress, and when I heard this whistle, I saw that the orcs sitting in front of the fire also stood up immediately, they held the weapons in their hands, and looked around vigilantly, but at this moment, Lando had already let go of his fingers.

A flash of red light.

"Boom, boom!!"

Bright red flames suddenly erupted in the clearing, continuous explosions and scorching flames engulfed the terrified orcs, this sudden attack made the orcs feel extremely panicked and frightened, they ran back and forth in the fortress like headless flies, instinctively trying to avoid those terrible flames. But many orcs had barely escaped the ravages of the tongues of fire, and the cold arrows pierced their heads like lightning, turning them into cold corpses.

At the same time, affected by the explosion, more orcs rushed out of the fortress in a steady stream, as a natural fighting race, orcs in combat acumen are incomparable to humans, although they encountered a sudden attack, but these orcs still quickly kept calm, and did not panic because of the outbreak of flames.

Until the next moment.

β€œβ€”β€”β€”β€”οΌοΌβ€

The crisp birdsong and the whirlwind rising from the ground swept away the originally burning flames in an instant, and the soul bird, which shimmered with holy brilliance up and down, stretched its wings high and suspended in the air, looking at the orc in front of it, the soul bird burst out with a low roar, and then it waved its wings vigorously.

With the movement of the soul bird, shining thunder fell from the sky, and bursts of roar and lightning fell among the orcs, and many orcs couldn't dodge, they were all hit by lightning and fell to the ground screaming. The remnants of the orcs were finally starting to panic, and they began to retreat, trying to dodge the terrible attack. But that's just the beginning.

The endless thunder disappeared, and it was only at this time that the orcs discovered that at some point, there were dozens of human soldiers equipped with elves around them, and in front of them, Rhodes stretched out one hand in front of him, and the card that exuded the brilliance of magic kept turning in his hand, and then, Rhodes held it with his backhand.

"Attack!!" (To be continued.) )
