Chapter 15 The Scout's Counterattack (4)

As the sun was about to set, the quarconian Dick put the things Roddy needed into more than a dozen packages and handed them to him breathlessly. This time, he did not look like asking for bribes at all, but instead had a little bit of unspeakable respect in his eyes.

"There are all the things."

Roddy took the package, nodded, and then ordered the soldiers who had already changed into dark black clothes and black swords behind him--

“Calculate the equipment!”

The moment of fighting finally came, but at this moment, there was no sign of confusion and tension on the faces of these scouts, because the day of training and explanation had already made them reach their best psychological state - the simple fixed pattern of "orcs are not invincible" has been instilled into their minds by Roddy, and the greatest fear "unknown" has disappeared. They are now facing a group of enemies who have already understood almost all their weaknesses.

So at this moment, the morale of this team has been unprecedentedly high, and everyone has even developed strong confidence in the upcoming battle.

Each of them was equipped with a short bow and carried 6 arrows. They carried the package that Roddy specifically asked to carry. The long sword was in place and the armor was tightly tied. The 14 scouts who were ready to go turned over and headed towards the distance as the sunset slowly fell into the horizon.

Before leaving, everyone had a full meal. When they left Nolan Village, the villagers seemed to notice the difference between these soldiers and the usual ones. They looked at the dust and smoke in the distance and remained silent.

"Is this really OK?"

Carter didn't really believe that this attack could be as sure as Roddy said. Although he met the orcs twice, although he won the battle, he would not have no idea about the strength of these guys. If these young people around him really encounter them, they would probably be slaughtered one-sidedly. Although Roddy mentioned the weaknesses of many orcs, it was just a theory after all.

"Why not?"

Roddy looked at the sun gradually disappearing in the distance on the horse's back and asked, holding the reins with one hand and rubbing the hilt of the scimitar with the other. "Now is not the time to consider whether we can defeat the other, because we must believe that we can defeat it so that we can continue this battle."

The last ray of light in the sky disappeared.

The thirty kilometers ran quickly. When night fell, the horses gradually slowed down. Finally, under Roddy's order, all the soldiers began to give up the horses and instead walked forward on foot.

The wind on the grassland still had a faint fresh smell. The body was low and crossed a low grass slope. Only the sound of the whimpering wind could be heard in my ears. I looked at the orc camp with a bonfire that shone three hundred meters away.

All the scouts lay on the other end of the grass slope, looking at the orc camp from a distance, with a serious expression - most of them looked at Roddy, wondering how the temporary commander was preparing to attack.

As the leader, Roddy licked his index finger, raised it and measured the wind direction, and then led the group of people to slowly circumn the downward wind vent. During this period, all the soldiers took out their short bows and put arrows on, ready to deal with emergencies at any time... Everyone was nervous at this moment. No matter how much Roddy said about the weaknesses and defects of orcs, he really could be completely calm when he saw those guys with arms thicker than their legs more than two meters high, after all, it was only a few.

Roddy didn't expect them to fight bravely, but his only request now was to forbidden any unnecessary movements - as he slowly approached the orc camp, the young scouts could even hear the orcs talking loudly.

Walking in the front is Roddy, and in the middle is Ruger who conveys the orders as support and orders. The group behind Carter's Temple had a bit of "forbidden orders" due to the morning training.

Although the camp is simple, there is also a wooden sentry tower. At this time, there was a sentry dozing on it. It was just dark, and the sentry had no way to detect more than a dozen human scouts who were at a disadvantage a hundred meters away.

Or, he had never thought about the possibility of being attacked by humans.

Among all, only Roddy understood that orcs' vision is much worse than humans at night - this is the experience that Roddy has successfully summarized countless night attacks on orcs.

The camp in front of me dug up gullies around to prevent the charge of war horses. Because the orc empire has poor resources, the only wood is used to build sentry towers, so they only have a lot of strength to use this simplest method as a defense measure... This has caused a considerable disadvantage: when someone hides in these rifts in the dark, even the sentry standing on the sentry towers cannot detect it at all.

For Roddy, the key to this battle is not whether the scouts behind him can fight bravely, but whether his plan can be implemented smoothly - confirming that the sentry's eyes were facing the other side, Roddy led the scouts to sneak into the trenches on the grass. After confirming that everyone was in place, he left a "standby" order, and then a man walked silently like a ghost.

The essence of the profession of "Ranger" lies in its strength when walking alone - it has the ability to hide similar to an assassin and has strong long-range sniper ability. Therefore, in "Riding of the Earth", the Ranger can often play a bigger and more active role than the Assassin on the battlefield of complex terrain.

How much strength can Roddy, who is only level 2, exerts? For a guy who can pass through countless games to the highest difficulty and pass the entire process without any damage, this is the first time he takes the initiative to attack after coming to this world.

His figure quietly passed by in the shadows. When he came to the edge of the tent that was only fifteen meters away from the mail tower, Roddy was already clear enough about the orc above. At this time, he seemed to be integrated with the grass, his arm armor and weapons had long been blackened with fire and no longer reflected, and he lay on the ground motionless, like a stone.

Then...it's now.

The sentry on the sentry yawned, and Roddy immediately took advantage of this short period of time to dodge below the sentry - this distance was a place that the sentry could hardly find. However, on the other hand, the orcs in the camp could easily notice this uninvited guest - but everything was still quiet. The orcs walking by the camp did not notice it. Roddy's figure stood completely in the shadow of the tent and the sentry trunk. Because the only light source came from the bonfire in the center of the camp, he could easily view the entire camp structure without being discovered by anyone.

Tents, beast bars, simple whistle towers, these are the only three types of buildings in this camp. After rejudging the number of orcs, Roddy estimated that the orcs in the camp might be around twenty-five people at this moment - remember the entire building layout, and patrolling the troop ratio and route took about five minutes in total. After completing all this preparation, he immediately returned to the trench not far away at a very fast speed, without making any movement.

Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle. This sentence has been said for many years, but Roddy clearly understood its importance. After taking the risky survey, he had already made a suitable plan in his mind to carry out the next battle.

When Roddy reappeared beside the scouts, the silent but extremely quick movement scared the young men, and Ruger was shocked. He naturally understood what Roddy's ability meant, and this made him feel more at ease - at least the greater the ability, the higher the chance of success of this battle.

“Take out the parcel.”

Roddy made a silent gesture, and Ruger was the first to react. Carter and the remaining soldiers then turned out the packages. Then they found that they were some arrows covered with fuel, and almost everyone was given a set of flint and fume for ignition.

"Second team, come with me, the first team is on standby."

Roddy whispered, missing the time when he had communicated with his comrades with tactical gestures, but obviously the people in front of him did not have that kind of tactical qualities at all. He called a team of captain Ruger, and he added: "Let each team prepare three rockets. Once you hear a scream in the camp, ignite immediately, and then shoot the tents connected to the west. After doing this, walk sixty meters west along the trenches. When you see me appearing at the sentry tower, you will rush into the camp directly. Do you understand?"

Ruger immediately understood Roddy's tactical intentions and nodded seriously to accept the order.

"Carter, bring the people from the second team with me."

Roddy looked up at the not-so-bright moonlight above her head, held her horn bow tightly, and walked along the trench toward the east side.

When the second team seven scouts followed Roddy to the east side of the camp, everything was still silent. However, the rapid heartbeat of the soldiers made their foreheads slightly sweaty, and the palms holding the short bow were a little wet and slippery. The adrenaline surge caused the fingertips to tremble slightly - these phenomena were inevitable, and Roddy would not say much. Because even himself, the same was true when he ambushed the orc for the first time.

Calling all the scouts of the second team to him, Roddy whispered to arrange the next task-"There are three orcs on the regular patrol of the camp, plus four of the sentry towers in total. We need to shoot them together in one shot, and then immediately climb the sentry tower and attract firepower from a high place, and try to shoot and kill the opponent. Ruger will support us later and listen to my orders when they rush into the camp."

His eyes swept over the young men and Carter beside him one by one, then pointed to the small round shields he had carried as spare equipment before and said, "After climbing the sentry tower, one person covers the other person's arrows, don't let yourself be the target of the other party. I have only said so much, do you understand?"

The bright eyes in the darkness were a little nervous and expectant. Seeing everyone nodding, Roddy picked up the horn bow and signaled everyone to take the arrows - the patrolling orcs would pass by the trench in a few minutes, and all they had to do was wait and give a fatal blow.
