In the early morning, the outside sun rises again.
Under the sunshine, Adier rode a horse and led a few people, quietly patrolling around the area.
After a while, he led his people back to the camp where they were stationed and saw the soldiers gathered inside the camp.
He frowned subconsciously, stopped a person passing by, and asked him about the situation.
"Someone has returned from the front line. It is said that traces of the orcs have been discovered. Lord Fular is gathering soldiers to go there to suppress them." The soldier finished telling what he knew with a respectful look on his face, and then left in a hurry.
Adil was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked ahead.
The combat forces in the camp have basically been summoned. Not only the elites brought by Fular from the castle, but also some trainee knights who were originally stationed here are among the ranks of the summons.
There are still some soldiers coming back one after another outside. They are all soldiers who, like Adil, were sent to patrol and garrison around the area some time ago. They are all coming back intermittently at this time.
Seeing this posture, Adier secretly sighed in his heart, and without much hesitation, he rode directly to the front.
He saw Fular standing in front of the inspection team, still wearing the light black armor and still looking so mighty.
As if feeling Adil's gaze, the other party turned around midway, looked at Adil, and nodded lightly to him.
Looking around, Adier consciously walked to the queue on the side. There were all trainee knights like Adier standing there.
He looked everywhere, and Dill was also inside. At this time, his face was more serious than ever before, and he did not dare to relax at all.
A period of time passed, and when the recalled people almost returned to the team, Fular began to distribute the teams.
The mission this time is to suppress the orcs. Judging from the information currently known, the strength of this group of orcs is not weak, and a large part of their combat power will definitely need to be mobilized.
However, there cannot be no one stationed in the camp. During the period of departure, someone must also be guarding here to prevent bandits and savages from the north from entering the southern territory.
Of course, for Adil, these actually have nothing to do with him.
··········
A few days later, in a wilderness, Adil quietly followed the troops in front and gradually moved forward.
"After walking this way for half a day, you will arrive at that area."
Walking to this area and looking at the team behind him, Fular suddenly said: "Let our people speed up. We must get there within today."
Following the order, the team's speed accelerated again.
But looking at this situation, Adil frowned.
Leading the team forward at such a fast speed in an unknown location will consume a lot of physical energy. If an accident occurs, it will be easily frustrated.
Not all of the team is cavalry, most of the soldiers are actually on foot.
Although the physical fitness of warriors in this world is much better than that of people in previous lives, they will still feel tired after walking under the sun for such a long time.
Through his keen hearing, Adil had faintly heard the faint sounds of violent breathing coming from the surroundings, which came from the surrounding warriors from time to time.
"I hope there won't be any accidents." He thought to himself as he rode his horse and looked at the rugged road ahead.
After walking through here, as it was approaching noon, at the foot of a certain mountain, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
This abnormal situation attracted everyone's attention.
Fular rode a tall white horse, looked at the surrounding terrain, and said with some confusion: "Where are the people we sent out to patrol before? They haven't come back yet?"
"Not yet." A voice responded from behind, with the same doubts in his tone.
Hearing this, Fular frowned subconsciously and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
Whoosh!
At this moment, an inexplicable sound suddenly sounded.
Adil's eyes suddenly shrank, and he felt extremely familiar with this sound: "Is this the sound of arrows breaking through the air?"
This thought flashed through his mind for a moment, and he instinctively raised his head and saw the arrow in the sky.
Strong physical fitness and long-term training instincts worked immediately.
Before anyone else could react, Adil subconsciously took a shield hanging on his horse, then used force with his feet, jumped hard, and returned to the earth in an instant.
He swung his left hand forward fiercely, and the shield he held in his hand knocked away several arrows in front of him, and then he was able to look around.
The horse that was originally sitting on was gone. More than a dozen arrows were stabbed into its body, and it fell to the ground and howled.
Others are similar.
The trainee knights were okay. Although they were given special care, their own qualities were much better. Their reaction abilities were pretty good, and only a few unlucky ones fell victim to them.
Those ordinary soldiers were much miserable.
Compared with trainee knights, these ordinary warriors not only react much slower, but also have worse equipment. Some warriors don't even have a piece of crude leather armor. Once they are hit, the end will be very miserable.
Adil noticed that the arrowheads of those arrows were obviously a bit green, and they were most likely soaked in some kind of poison.
At the front of the team, Fular had a cold look on his face, the long sword in his hand had been drawn out, and his eyes with great authority were staring straight ahead.
All around, in the originally quiet place, a muffled sound was heard.
Ahead, in the silent mountain forest, orcs with ferocious faces and about two meters tall wearing simple animal skin robes walked out, each with a bloodthirsty and violent aura about them.
Compared with humans, these orcs have gray skin, are much stronger, and generally carry heavy weapons, which makes them scary to look at.
"S..La.Meng."
Inexplicable roars came from the mouths of these orcs.
There was no unnecessary language or communication. At the beginning of the meeting, these orcs raised their weapons and rushed forward.
The front was violently shaking. This group of orcs was very direct. They launched an attack at the moment when Adil and others had not yet reacted, without giving them any time to make arrangements.
Suddenly, almost all the soldiers, including Fulal, changed their expressions.
"Something's wrong!" At this moment, Adil's heart suddenly shook: "With so many orcs, they are almost a small orc tribe. How could they come here without any news?"
The social structure of the orcs is different from that of humans. Most of them are composed of tribes, and they will only unite at certain necessary moments.
Excluding the old, weak, women, children, and females, a normal orc tribe usually only has a few hundred warriors to offer.
In front of Adil, this densely packed group of orc warriors numbered at least three to four hundred people.
Before they had time to think too much, the orcs in front shouted in a language that Adil couldn't understand, and charged towards them waving their weapons.
Faced with this situation, no matter what he thought in his mind before, now he can only pull out the weapon in his hand and fight these orcs.
Adil and other trainee knights were obviously taken care of by these orcs.
Compared with ordinary warriors, these trainee knights are much more threatening, and the armors and weapons they wear are often better and more conspicuous than ordinary warriors.
Even though Adil, who looked relatively weak among these trainee knights due to his age, was surrounded by several tall orc warriors, looking at him with ferocious expressions.
Looking at the orc warrior who came back in front of him, Adil remained expressionless. He held a one-meter-long silver shield in his left hand, and stretched his right hand to his waist to touch the cross sword there.
Click!
There was a crisp shattering sound, and a red blood trail appeared.
In front of Adil, the tall orc warrior opened his eyes and stared closely at Adil in front of him, as if he couldn't believe that he would be defeated so quickly.
A huge metal battle ax hit Adier hard, but was blocked by a silver shield.
Adil felt the power coming from the shield in his left hand, and his nervous mood completely calmed down.
These orcs seem to be physically strong and powerful, which is indeed the case, but compared to Adil, they are not as good as them.
Adil estimates that the strength of these ordinary orc warriors is about 1.5, and their agility and structure are slightly stronger than ordinary people. In terms of physical fitness, they are already comparable to elite human warriors, but compared with trainee knights, they have
Not as good as, let alone compared to Adier.
A cold light flashed in the air, and with the huge force, a huge orc head flew out.
Adil turned around and without hesitation slashed with his sword, blocking the attacks of the other orcs beside him.
He rushed forward, but the orcs in front of him couldn't react at all. They still maintained their original movements. They were pierced through the chest by the cross sword in his hand, and their bodies fell towards the ground behind them.
roar!!
A low roar came from behind Adil, and the whistling sound of weapons flying quickly reached Adil's ears.
He subconsciously blocked back with his left hand, and the shield in his hand collided with a giant sword.
bump!!
A violent impact sounded, and a strong force surged towards the body.
Adil felt his hands feel sore and took a few steps back before looking behind him.
It was an orc warrior who was much taller than ordinary orcs. Not only was he nearly two and a half meters tall, but he was also wearing a rough leather armor. He was half-kneeling on the ground and seemed to have suffered some damage from the impact just now.
These are orc warriors, some physically powerful individuals among the orcs, and their combat power is equivalent to that of a trainee knight.
It seems that because Adil's previous performance was too outstanding, several orc warriors were slowly surrounding him with weapons in their hands.
