After making an agreement, the two clergymen left, and Ryan and the others appeared at the party again, bringing the atmosphere of the party to a climax. It was not until the midnight banquet was completely over that they returned to their house in a carriage.
Early the next morning, Ryan and the others made various preparations and met the Harper at the gate of the Supreme Palace as agreed. Then they and the ninth-level ranger named James used the power of Silvermoon City's mage tower to teleport to the north of the city.
The direction of the Moon Forest. This is the place where the orc chief Obould All-Arrows occupied after abandoning the All-Arrows Fortress.
Ryan and the others moved very fast in the forest. According to this ranger, they did not move like mages at all, but like some rogues. I have to say that this veteran saw it very accurately. Ryan and Hermione were on their way.
At that time, we did use the method used by assassins in Assassin's Creed to rush.
After advancing for five or six kilometers, the traces of large-scale destruction of the forest were clearly visible. There were large areas where everything was destroyed. Everything from trees to shrubs had been cut down, and even the turf had been dug out in some places.
Gone.
"In the North, many orcs go south to plunder in winter. This is also the most dangerous time of the year. In previous years, we in Silvermoon City would have been prepared, but this year we did not expect that Oberde would lead a large group of orcs south.
If these orcs are not driven away or eliminated, the cutoff of caravans alone will prevent a large number of small villages from obtaining winter necessities, which will cause at least half of the people to starve to death. Not to mention these orcs
Its power alone is enough to cause harm to everyone around it. In fact, many rangers and elves have been killed in the past few days."
After listening to the ranger's story, Ryan and the others felt filled with indignation. Soon, under the invisible rose crystal aerial reconnaissance, an orc raiding team was discovered. This was the fault of these orcs themselves, if they hadn't cut down the surrounding trees.
It's hard to find them out of the dense jungle without the rose crystal.
Soon, under the cover of the surrounding natural environment, several people avoided the orcs' perception and reached a place not far away from them. After Ryan sent the signal, Hermione instantly summoned the shadow to fix the dozen orcs to the ground.
, then Ryan summoned a large net made of lightning to cover it. At the same time, the Rose Crystal also summoned a large number of crystal fragments to strike down.
The orcs were unprepared for such a three-dimensional attack. They did not expect that there could be an aerial attacker like the Rose Crystal, which was almost impossible to warn in advance. They also did not expect that a legendary mage could carry out such a sneak attack that was completely inconsistent with his status. So it was just
In one round of attack, all the orcs in this team were wiped out by Ryan and the three of them. The ranger who accompanied them didn't even shoot an arrow.
The level gap is clearly displayed here, especially the high-level spellcasters have an overwhelming advantage over these low-level warriors. In the next two days, Ryan and the others raided more than a dozen strongholds and killed more than 30 robbers.
The raiding team. The Harper had to admit that if a legendary mage and a high-level mage were to put down their dignity and attack those low-level orcs, it would be a massacre for the orcs.
For example, when attacking the largest stronghold, there were three teams with nearly 200 orcs in the stronghold. After the Rose Crystal reconnaissance confirmed that there were no hostages in the stronghold, Ryan and the others spent half an hour setting up base in the woods near the stronghold while the Harper looked at them in surprise.
He set up an altar, and then spent seven minutes on the altar, summoning a bolt of lightning that reduced the entire stronghold to ashes along with the orcs inside.
After two days of cleaning up, almost all the small and medium-sized orc strongholds and outgoing patrols in the jungle were wiped out, leaving only some large strongholds. After walking around in the jungle for more than half an hour, I still didn't find anything like the one before.
After two days of small-scale enemies, a few of them gathered together during lunch to discuss the next move.
"Let's do something big this time and then retreat, brother." Rose Crystal suggested with some excitement. She hoped to end this war with a brilliant victory. And with Alustriel's justice, if they
If you can make a big contribution, you will be rewarded even more.
"You are right. The investigation at least two hours ago found that the orcs have stopped sending out plundering teams. At the same time, they are concentrated in several large strongholds and are difficult to attack by force. Next, if you want to eliminate small groups like this
The enemy is no longer possible." Ryan nodded towards the rose crystal. "So we will carry out a complicated plan. If we are lucky, we can even solve the orc problem in one fell swoop -"
After discussing for more than ten minutes, everyone agreed, and then they packed up their things and headed towards the location of the Orc King's Court that they had previously detected. The journey seemed to go smoothly, because they had killed nearly a thousand in the previous two days of cleaning operations.
The orc warriors were equivalent to half the number of local orc warriors. Under such tragic losses, Obould Arrows had to shrink his troops to defend in order to avoid being defeated by the attackers one by one.
Of course, there is no other way. Previously, the orc chief had ordered an elite team of a hundred people, led by his most valued son Argen Sanquan, to set out from the frontline gathering point to search for the attackers. However, this team had just
They were discovered by Rose Crystal as soon as they set off, and then the Harper ranger lured them away from the stronghold and into the trap set by Ryan.
When Obould Arrows realized something was wrong and led his personal guards over, everything was over. Ryan and the others used magic traps to annihilate the orc team, and by the way, they also killed one of them with carbine and fire.
The power of the shadow destroyed the frontline stronghold that was left empty due to the departure of the main force.
In the end, Obould All Arrows only saw his son who had all the money and magic items taken away from him, the corpses of the elite centurion, and the frontline stronghold that had turned into a huge fire. What was worse was that for the sake of convenience,
A lot of food supplies from various attacks were placed in this stronghold. This time, they were all ignited by Ryan with wildfire, making the orcs' already plentiful food supplies even more scarce.
Although the previous attack allowed Ryan and the others to kill a large number of orcs, the orcs may have felt timid because of the inexplicable loss of half of their warriors. The Harper's ranger led dozens of Ryan at the gate of a stronghold closest to the royal court.
There was a lot of noise about the temporary shape-shifting construct, but except for shooting two orcs who accidentally exposed their heads, no reinforcements were seen coming out of the royal court as planned.
When night was about to fall, the ranger James left the stone men where they were as planned, and then returned to the camp to eat. Sitting by the campfire, he said excitedly: "The three of us - ah, no, four
personal."
After Rose Crystal heard the ranger change her words, she retracted her gaze with satisfaction and elegantly raised the special small porcelain cup and took a sip of hot tea. Ranger James looked at the little puppet that was staring at him angrily just now with some embarrassment and continued.
Said: "The four of us can actually make 1,000 strong orc warriors afraid to go out. I think this will become a long-lasting goal of praise by bards in Silvermoon City and even the entire Northland."
"If we succeed this time, we can definitely do it." Ryan's face turned serious after saying that. "But at this time, we must not be careless. According to the information I have read before, Obould All Arrows is a brave and brave man.
The ambitious orc leader cannot possibly allow us to kill his troops without making any counterattack, especially after his most valued son was killed by us just now."
"What you said makes sense." James also became serious. "Orcs have a greater advantage than us humans at night. I guess they are likely to use the darkness of night to surprise us.
Having said this, he looked at the seven or eight tents in the camp and the fire in the center of the camp, which was obviously more than needed for four people. "But I think the arrangement of this camp is a bit crude. These orcs have all experienced hundreds of battles. They
It should be hard to be fooled.”
"We know!" Hermione nodded, "But our real trap is not here. It is enough to weaken the enemy a little bit here."
"Well, sometimes I really can't understand the money concept of you spellcasters." James shrugged and said. The reason why he thought this place was the final trap was because the supplies Ryan placed in the camp were worth at least two dollars.
Three hundred gold coins, but I didn't expect Ryan and the others to spend so much money just to harass the orcs a little.
