The female mage, whose perception was much higher than that of the barbarians, seemed to have noticed something. She turned to look at Ren, who was at the back of the team, with a pair of beautiful eyes full of inquiry.
"Nothing, just gaining new abilities."
Lane's words were concise and concise, and he did not mean to explain in detail.
A flash of understanding flashed in Leolina's eyes, and she stopped asking questions. Instead, she turned her head and continued walking along the path opened by Krusov.
Everyone has their own secrets, and she has no intention of delving into them.
If we talk about secrets, maybe she has many more secrets than Ren.
With such thoughts running through her mind, she unconsciously touched the ring on her left index finger.
Relying on Krusov's familiarity with the terrain around Kronk Town, the three of Rennes eliminated several orc squads.
Behind him, the injured wanderer slowly opened his eyes and felt something strange in his hands. He turned around and realized that he was holding two bottles of healing potion in his hands.
The remaining four orc sergeants looked at each other, and they all saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes.
"Da da da!"
The five war horses neighed, and under the control of the knight on their backs, they turned around and faced Ren's group who came out of the woods.
Playing 50 big boards each is the best way to deal with it.
"My bad!"
In the wind and snow, the dull sound of horse hooves began to speed up. Under the leadership of the captain, this cavalry team used flat-end spears and began to drive the horses towards the orcs who turned and fled not far away and launched a charge.
Krusov walked out of the crowd and came to the horse. He looked the knight up and down, and then asked in an uncertain tone: "Are you the cavalry team of Overlook City?"
The cavalry captain nodded, not hiding his appreciation for him at all.
The two-legged orcs, competing for speed, were no match for the trained Northland war horses.
Krusov unscrewed the bottle cap, took a big sip into his mouth despite the cold wind, and burped with satisfaction. Then he carefully tightened the bottle cap and hung the wine bottle on his waist again.
"In this damn weather, we set up a tent here, and the tent ran away on its own until midnight! Of course, if the mage has the mansion spell, just pretend I didn't tell you."
As Renn joined the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield changed almost instantly.
"Should we turn back, or should we find a shelter here for the night?"
In just three or two breaths, the cavalry squad caught up with these four orc sergeants.
The right hand of the knight on the war horse holding the spear was slightly loosened the moment he raised it upward. The moment the reaction force was removed, he tightened his grip on the gun barrel again and at the same time swung it to the side, throwing the orc's body aside.
Behind him, four knights followed suit.
The orc sergeant who realized this suddenly felt what it meant to be in deep despair.
They rolled and crawled away towards the woods, even discarding the weapons in their hands. They looked like they just wished their parents had given them two legs.
At this point in time, the cavalry appearing here can only be...
"No matter how weak a barbarian is, he can knock down three spellcasters with one blow of his axe."
The moment Ren and the others arrived nearby, the orc berserker dodged the attack of a young rogue, then spun around and hit him on the back with an axe.
As the saying goes, a slap in the face can't make a difference.
"You two..."
Ren walked to the two of them and rubbed his forehead helplessly.
"Krusov, I have heard of your name. You did a great job. You are worthy of being a champion gladiator! As you said, we are troops from Overlook City, and we were ordered to come to pick up the retreating civilians. The town of Kronk Town
The people have arrived at Overlook City safely, so you people should quickly withdraw to the city. Soon, the real war will break out, and this will be the front line. Take care of yourself, the Northland still needs your strength."
Apart from the responsibilities of the paladin, even if it is for the upcoming war, humans should try not to reduce their numbers.
In the Northland, almost all ordinary people's lives are inseparable from strong liquor.
However, these orc squads are not full strength, and there are no powerful advanced professions like the Eye of Gruumsh in the team.
"See you at Overlook City!"
"They can't hold it any longer!"
Outside the pine forest.
"I am Krusov, these are my teammates and companions."
Ren shouted to Krusov in front.
"Didn't you hear the sound of fighting over there?"
Whether it's the paladin's protective aura or Renne's unique "Resistance Thought" defensive aura, it instantly causes a qualitative change in the saving throws and defense levels of surrounding teammates.
After saying that, he nodded towards the people behind Krusov.
"Let's go back to Wangwang City as soon as possible."
In the orc tribe, horses are just food, and the mounts of the orcs are either wolves or domesticated dragon beasts.
Renn glared angrily at the female mage who covered her mouth and snickered, and decisively showed her dignity as a captain.
The human side instantly received another seriously injured person.
With the support of the paladin's halo, Krusov even withstood the attacks of two orc sergeants and directly beheaded the orc berserker who had turned on the rage with one sword!
As the leading orc berserker fell, the morale of the remaining orc sergeants collapsed instantly.
Seeing the wanderer's breathing gradually calming down and showing signs of waking up, Renn just breathed a sigh of relief, took out two bottles of medicine for treating minor injuries from the dimensional bag, placed them in his palm, and then turned around and rushed
To the battlefield.
No matter the reincarnation of the magic lady, as long as they are my team members, they will follow the instructions!
Facing the somewhat angry Ren, Leolina shrank her neck and stopped talking. If she was smart, she would not foolishly challenge the authority of the paladin at this time.
The leading knight lifted up his visor, revealing a face that had experienced many vicissitudes of life.
After Ren said something to the female mage, he ran in the direction of the rogue.
Krusov, who was responsible for leading the way, decisively admitted his mistake.
"It's Hopnovsky's team! They set off with us, and it seems they are in trouble!"
With a miserable howl, the wanderer was knocked fifteen or six meters away, and then hit the ground heavily, and a human-shaped pit appeared on the snow.
"Are you adventurers from Kronk Town?"
"Leolina, you go to support Krusov. I will bring the seriously injured back from the line of death first."
Seeing this scene, Krusov couldn't bear it any longer. He picked up the Heavenly Blade and rushed towards the battlefield in a panic.
As time goes by, gradually, the silhouette of sunset appears on the horizon.
Moreover, the orc reconnaissance team does not have the luxury of equipping cavalry!
At the same time, there was also the heavy sound of horse hooves that reached their ears!
"If this girl could learn the mansion technique now, would she still team up with a weakling like you, a barbarian?"
The female mage snorted from her nostrils and began to prepare to cast a spell.
Thanks.
"If you have time to bicker and quarrel, you might as well prepare for a fight."
The five horses disappeared again in the snow in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the fierce battle fifty meters away, Krusov recognized one of the parties almost instantly.
Without strong liquor to warm your body, you would freeze into an ice sculpture if you stood in the ice and snow for more than ten minutes.
Even though Krusov's physical fitness has far exceeded that of ordinary people, years of habit still prevent him from letting go of the wine bottle in his hand.
After saying that, he clamped his legs under the horse's belly, and the tall horse carried him and ran towards the distance.
Along the way, Aiolina didn't even cast a single spell.
However, before they could take a breath after running out of the woods, they saw silhouettes appearing in the wind and snow in the distance.
He silently expressed gratitude in his heart.
If I don’t drink a few sips a day, I always feel like something is missing in my life.
"Xi Lv Lv"
Ren came to the big pit that was smashed, and looked at the wanderer who was bleeding from all the facial features, dying, and falling into coma. He frowned slightly, squatted down, and put his right hand on the opponent's shoulder.
Hopnovsky, what a pure northern name.
Leolina gave the other party a rude look.
Warm positive energy gathers in the palm of the paladin and turns into life energy that heals others.
But, then again, this guy seems pretty handsome when he's angry?
The barbarian heard the sound coming from the howling cold wind. He stopped and took out an oblate iron kettle from his waist, which was filled with strong vodka.
For him, whether the wine is good or not is secondary, the most important thing is that it must be strong enough.
Krusov was stunned for a moment, smiled sheepishly, and muttered in a low voice:
Facing them, the three of Rennes directly turned into a crushing game, and they were eliminated effortlessly.
There was an Orc Berserker (Challenge Level 9) in the Orc team fighting them, which put Hopunovsky and the others into a tough fight from the first encounter. It was a miracle that they could survive until now.
Poof!
Looking at the paladin walking forward, the female mage's eyes flickered and she gently bit her lip with her white jade teeth.
The paladin pointed to the snow-covered pine forest in front of him on the right.
Under the dual effects of acceleration and inertia, the knight's spear easily penetrated the orc's back.
Renn had some impression of this man. He was a level five warrior. He formed a team with four teammates and voluntarily joined the operation to cover the retreat of the townspeople.
"Why are you laughing, Leolina, just because Krusov is wrong doesn't mean you are right!"
But now it seems that their team has encountered a tough situation, with only three people left struggling to support themselves.
Seeing the cavalry squad disappear from sight, Krusov let out a heavy breath and turned to Ren and the others.
In order to cover the fleeing civilians, Wangwang City actually used cavalry, which is enough to illustrate the seriousness of this Orc Glory Expedition.
This is to completely strengthen the wall and clear the country, and have a big battle with those orcs!
Not only Krusov, but Ren and Leolina also noticed this.
The problem in the previous chapter has been solved. I just remembered before going to bed that the paladin in 5e has the ability to increase the aura... I have memorized it, and I can still get confused. It's really (*/ω\*)
