Chapter 150: The First Battle

Henry led everyone to a little further inside the cavern, where he commanded the newly transformed Adamantite Golem to begin digging into the earth, intending to build a half-human-high breastwork here. Ares was not idle, and with his sharp claws he dug a number of pits of various sizes around the area, and if someone jumped over the wall without paying attention, it was easy to step into it and hit the foot.

All of them were busy building various fortifications, and finally finished finishing the work before the orc army arrived. Henry walked over and activated several "turn mud into stone" scrolls against the earthen wall, and in an instant, a pale yellow magic flashed, and the entire wall turned into solid rock.

"I hope these orcs will retreat, otherwise with their numbers, they will exhaust us all to death as long as they continue to attack for a few hours." As he spoke, Zubosa took out all the arrows and put them within easy reach.

Amy blessed herself with "Stone Skin Technique" and "Mage Armor" and said to the ranger with a smile, "Don't worry, in this narrow passage, spells can exert a lot of power. At least for a dozen hours, they will not be able to break through our defenses. ”

Henry smiled wryly and poured cold water on everyone. "You don't count the shamans and priests of the orc tribes, and although they don't have many spells, they can cause a lot of trouble. And the leader of these guys, most likely, is a legendary warrior. If it is true, then his body is already very strong, and spells below the third level will basically not have a very good effect on the body. ”

"Head! If this leader does rush in, please be sure to leave him to me. The thought of being able to duel a powerful warrior right away made me feel like my blood was burning all over my body. Vaughn said excitedly, tapping his armor. This militant completely did not take into account the shape of the present crisis.

Henry pulled out a bottle of potion and carefully handed it to him. "It's a "Hero Potion". It can greatly improve the combat capabilities of fighters. Once you drink it, you'll find that your swings are more precise. Survivability will also be greatly enhanced. If you find out that that guy is really a legendary warrior, be sure to drink it right away. Finally, keep in mind that the effect of the medicine only lasts for a minute, and if the time has elapsed and the battle has not been resolved, it is better to turn around and run, and then I will use a spell to respond. ”

The orc warrior nodded, and inserted the hero potion into his belt. "Don't worry, I will grasp the balance and will never be reckless." Henry patted his arm. Then he leaned against the chest wall and began to close his eyes and recuperate. All of them were resting in their hearts because they knew that a continuous battle was coming.

Soon there was a cacophony outside the cave, and Sam finally arrived with the entire orc tribe. He carefully observed the surrounding terrain, then turned to the priest beside him and said, "Send a hundred people in to explore the path first, and remember to send a soul shaman to follow." There must be mages among these adventurers, so let these idiots be careful with me! ”

"Obey the leader, I will pick the most capable centurion to lead the team, and make sure that there will be no problems." As he spoke, the priest bowed, walked into the back of the group, and shouted the name of an orc.

A few minutes later, a vicious-looking orc squeezed out of it. He bowed to the pastor and asked, "Is there anything I need to do?" ”

"Ochre! I brought the order of Chief Samm. He asks you and your men to set off at once and reconnoiter the cave ahead. It's better to move faster. "Soul Shaman" Kerry is already waiting. As he spoke, the priest pointed to an old orc with gray hair in front of him.

Ochre nodded, turned and yelled at the chaotic crowd, and soon a hundred orc warriors came out of it. He took these guys to the soul shaman's side and asked, "Master X, my people have been assembled, when can I leave?" ”

"Let's go now, Chief Sackam isn't in a good mood today, and I don't want his head cut off for a little thing." As he spoke, the old shaman walked towards the entrance of the cave with his cane.

Ochre looked at his back with awe, and although the old orc was over the age of six, no one in the entire tribe dared to underestimate him. Because the soul shaman is a very special profession, it follows beliefs and traditions that are very different from those of priests and druids. After becoming a soul shaman, you can see all kinds of spirits. By communicating with spirits, they were able to gain power and magic from nature.

The old man named Kerr was accidentally inherited in his twenties and has now been a shaman for more than forty years. It's been generations for the orcs, no one knows how powerful he is now, and everyone thinks the old shaman is unfathomable.

Before coming to the cliff, Ochre divided his warriors into five teams, and chose different openings to enter the cave. He personally took twenty of his most elite warriors and walked into the somewhat wet tunnel with the shaman. After walking along the mud and puddles of road, Fox crouched down and carefully observed the footprints on the ground.

After a long while, he looked up and said to Ochre, "Judging from the footprints on the ground, there were about four of these adventurers, and one of them was most likely a Ranger or a Druid. You see there's a huge beast palm print here, and this guy is definitely not small. ”

"Since the number of these adventurers is so small, what are we waiting for, rush in and capture them alive. You must know that Chief Sackum has already put a high bounty on him, and I want to mention my position on the premise, and it would be best if I could become a thousand-tier. With that, Ochre ran eagerly towards the depths of the cave, and his warriors hurried after him.

The old shaman looked at their backs and muttered in a low voice: "I'm in such a hurry to die, I really don't know what these guys with muscles in their heads are thinking." Forget it, I'd better find a place to hide. These adventurers are not easy to deal with, and if they are not careful, they may capsize in the gutter. With that, he walked towards another fork in the road, apparently determined to avoid the battle.

Henry and the others had already prepared, and everyone was unsheathed with their bows and arrows, just waiting for the orcs to attack. Soon they were greeted by the first wave of enemies, about thirty or so orc warriors. After a few turns in the hole, two of the teams will come together. As he passed through the passage ahead, he detonated two skeleton traps, and the power of the magic killed about ten unlucky people in one fell swoop.

Vaughn let out a burst of laughter at the sight of the wolf creatures, and he made a singing gesture as he stood behind the breastwork with his greatsword in hand. This action immediately angered the already somewhat annoyed orcs, who rushed over with a variety of weapons. Zubosa pulled the bowstring unhurriedly, and the arrows shot out quickly.

The narrow passage didn't have much room to dodge, and by the time the guys rushed closer, they had already been put down by five men with crossbows. Just as the melee combat was about to begin, Bambock spotted an opportunity and flew over to release a colorful jet. Seven or eight guys were hit by the cone-shaped magic, and there were all kinds of uncomfortable reactions in an instant.

Vaughn wielded his magic greatsword and chopped off their heads. Several other orc warriors saw that the situation was not good, and began to shout loudly to prepare to retreat first. Henry targeted the creatures and cast a spider web spell, and the large sticky cobwebs held everyone firmly to the ground.

The ensuing battle descended into a boring one-sided slaughter, with the orc warrior throwing his magic axe at the top of his hand, and the remaining dozen or so guys were quickly split open. Vaughn grumbled as he wiped his brains from his axe, "It's boring, these guys are too weak. I really don't know what their leader thinks, can they send this kind of goods to death? ”

Henry walked over and took a closer look at the corpse on the ground. "These are the advance troops responsible for pathfinding, and this is only part of it. After all, there are so many entrances here, and there must be at least eighty or more talents. After saying that, he ordered the Adamantite Golem to throw these corpses farther away, the smell of the orcs was not very good. In order to allow the big guy to move freely here, everyone dug the ground down to a depth of one meter.

"Be careful! More orcs rushed over. Amy yelled as she pointed to the passage in the distance. Henry glanced at the large number of enemies, and reluctantly let the golem return to the combat position, it seems that there is no way to deal with these corpses for the time being.

Ochre was a centurion with extensive combat experience. When he saw the corpses strewn all over the ground, he did not rush to attack, but asked one of his subordinates to run back to report the news first, and he led the others to stay where they were.

Vaughn looked at the orcs in the distance who were reluctant to attack, and wondered when these guys' patience had become so good. He made some provocative and insulting gestures towards the opposite side, and several grumpy orcs rushed forward with weapons as if they were rushing, but they were all stopped by the centurion.

Henry saw this situation and knew immediately that this guy must be an experienced commander. He patted the orc warrior on the shoulder and shook his head. "Don't waste your efforts, they're waiting for backup. Hurry up and sit down and take a break, I guess it's going to be busy for a while. ”

"It's really a bunch of cowards, it's scary to just kill so many people." Vaughn muttered as he made a thumbs-up gesture at Ochre.

Zuvosa smiled and shook his head, then said to Vaughn, "Judging by the number of men he wears and leads, this guy is almost a centurion. Don't worry, it won't be long before he personally leads these men in the charge. When the time comes, you can cut off his head with your own hands. (To be continued......)
