"Yes, my Duke." The former Charles Hussars officer bowed: "And I am here to solve the problem."
"Are you capable of solving our current problems?!" Otto immediately turned around. Even though he was as calm and steady as he was, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard the news: "Really?"
"I may not be able to solve all the problems, but I found the contact mark in a hidden camp deep in the forest." The former Charles Wing Cavalry officer said respectfully:
"There are still survivors of the Northerners in the forest. They hid and escaped the orcs' encirclement and formed several very hidden camps. Maybe they can help us."
"How can it help us?" Otto asked.
"There are wise daughters among them who can help us deal with the threat of disease, and they also have some excellent scouts and hunters who can help us move better in the forest.
Maybe they still have some supplies that can solve our urgent need." Semyon said sincerely: "My Lord Duke, it is not that easy to solve the threat of orcs, we must unite."
A wise daughter?
Otto thought for a moment and made a decision quickly.
"Purchase two pieces of goods! Bring enough gold coins, I will personally ask for their help!"
Two hours later, in the snow-covered coniferous forest, more than twenty elite knights, under the personal leadership of Otto, arrived at the depths of a dense forest that was almost impassable.
Behind the two dozen knights were two carts filled with gifts.
The atmosphere was very quiet, with only the sound of heavy snow falling from the sky falling to the ground. The wind blew through the coniferous forest, and strange cries were heard. The knights were very nervous, and many reached out and grasped the hilts of their swords.
The guide Xie Miao carefully identified several engraved marks in hidden locations. After confirming them again and again, he shouted in one direction.

"Southerners?!"
These people looked at each other in confusion, and then slowly put down their bows and arrows.
Otto then shouted: "We are here just to help you regain the territory from the orcs, but we are in trouble and need your help. Can you let us in?"
"I reveal in the name of the bear god Esun that what they say is true. These Abrex people really want to help us regain our land!"
Xie Miao also said: "I guarantee it with my life and as the former captain of the Charles Wing Cavalry!"
Everyone in the forest camp discussed it for a long time, and finally, the door was opened.
Otto and his party entered the camp under the supervision of several warriors. There were about two to three hundred people in the camp. They obviously lacked enough clothing and nutrition, but they were still strong-willed.
A leader-like man appeared in front of everyone in Otus. He was obviously a priest of the bear god Esun.
He has a wide forehead, beady eyes, a big nose, and thin lips. He has a very serious expression and a tough attitude. He holds a battle ax in his hand and rides a giant bear.
"Hello, Your Excellency the Duke from Ablix, I am Vladimir, an Esun priest, now the leader of this camp."

"What are you doing?"
"Wise Daughters" appear in the camp of Otto's Second Army. They skillfully brew herbs and take out ointments to apply on the bodies of the sick.
The sick Albrex soldiers expressed that they felt much better.
But this group of people was also frightened by these three "wise daughters".
These wise women are also witches who master magic, but what they master is different from ice magic, but a kind of magic similar to that of shamans.
By praying to the oldest "Old God", they gained the ability to master a small part of magic without being corrupted by evil.
Of course, there is a price to pay. Wise girls cannot be completely immune to the corruption of evil. They pay the price with their youth and appearance. As long as every wise girl sets foot on this path, it will not take a few days to
Turning into an old, ugly and weak old woman will make the evil god not interested in them.
For example, this wise woman is stewing medicine for a soldier. Her wrinkled skin is set off by strands of rotting white hair, her mouth is full of black teeth, her limbs are withered and twisted like branches, and the corners of her eyes are densely packed with wrinkles.
Most of the middle eyes were white, and the eyeballs were scarlet, which scared the Albrex soldier to the point of shaking.
"Drink it, drink it, drink this, and you won't feel uncomfortable."
The wise daughter's withered and twig-like hands held a bowl of bubbling medicine. The inside of the bowl exuded a foul odor and a strange purple light.

The sick knight's face turned green. He took the bowl and looked at it for a long time, but he really couldn't drink it.
"Drink, this is your destiny."
The wise girl couldn't stop laughing. She opened her mouth, and a strong bad breath emerged from the black teeth in her mouth: "In our land, you outsiders must know how to respect the earth and revere it, so that you can survive here.
Hey hey hey!”
In the end, the knight could only curse inwardly, lady, he gritted his teeth, pinched his nose, picked up the bowl, and drank it all.
To his surprise, the potion was not bitter when put into his mouth, but also had the fragrance of licorice.
After taking a bowl of medicine, my body couldn't help but feel much better, and even my body temperature dropped.
Similarly, on the other side, a group of prairie warriors were devouring plump chicken and delicious, soft barley bread. In front of them was a large pot with corn and vegetable soup boiling in it.
Now the group was starving, and Otto managed to take some of the army rations to provide to the natives of the steppes.
In order to avoid the search and plunder of the orc army, this group of people has been hiding in a camp deep in the forest for two or three months. They survive by eating dry food and drinking ice and snow water. They rarely dare to light a fire. Occasionally they are lucky enough to get a fire.
A little game.
Otto asked Vladimir: "Oh my god, I can't imagine how you managed to hide."
The first chapter of this novel--the publishing site&~is@:Tadu Novel APP
"The orc army did not search carefully, they just passed by most of the time."
Vladimir was riding on a giant bear. This Esun priest was very strong. He said calmly but full of bone-deep hatred:
"We know better now."
Otto nodded slightly when he heard this. He knew that the orc army had ruled the Kansas grasslands for many years. Apart from those who fled south to the Shire, there should not be many of these grassland natives left on the grasslands.
At first, this group of people actually had no intention of leaving their hidden camp.
Especially this one named Vladimir, his attitude is very tough. He believes that the descendants of the grassland do not need anyone's help, and he will lead these people back to their homeland.
At first, Otto thought that the young priest Esun, who was only in his thirties, was joking at him.
But after seeing the troops assembled by this man, Ottos quickly realized that the opponent was not simple.
