Chapter 280: Silent arrow

Although the "Sora sentry post" is called a sentry post, it can actually be used as a "simple fortress". With its walls and towers, it can easily deal with small-scale invaders.
As a private soldier of the Luxi Fron family, Hanks, who is absolutely loyal to the Duke, will naturally not have a little bit of greed in the construction of the sentry: the wall made of solid solid wood is four meters high, the campsite is square, and two fans are east-west. The gate, a twelve-meter-tall tower, and four eight-meter sentry towers. The trenches approached by the anti-cavalry were dug out around the sentry. Although there was no moat, if there were orcs standing below to attack, the city wall with a drop of six meters would be enough for them to suffer.
Commander Hanks had great confidence in the defense of the sentry, and the enemies to be dealt with were "brainless" orcs, which made him even less aware of these greenskins. So at this time he saw the far-retreated wolf cavalry team, and he was not too nervous ...
However, this "abnormality" still made him secretly wary: according to common sense, the orcs would not "harass" at all, and their fighting style was just like the two mules who screamed and rushed straight up. If they had beaten, they would fight. Run, never pay attention to any tactics.
"What do these guys want to do?"
Hanks thought he seemed to be thinking too much. In terms of the IQ of the orcs, it is probably because the image of the sentry was too high. They scared them away?
"Let Luther take someone on the tower, and the rest was lifted."
He walked back to the command room calmly and waved, "Everyone has a good meal at night, and the logistics are not tight. Don't betray your brethren."
The orderly soldiers hurried out, and Hanks sat at his desk and took up the quill to report to Angmar today. But the quill just wrote "December 23". The door The soldiers outside returned.
"what's up?"
"Commander, urgent letter."
Hanks took the note that was curled because it was tied to a pigeon's leg, but only glanced at it and then frowned: "The whole army is gone? How is this possible ?!"
He was a little upset immediately after receiving the avalanche message ... he knew what Roddy ’s troops meant: in this kind of execution, no
power
is better than a real sword. "Force" is easy to talk about. If it was put in the past, he might not care about the hundred soldiers supported by Rodin, but if the orcs are always so intrusive ...
He turned his head and asked in a serious tone: "When is the fastest one to support the lords here?"
"Commander, the nearest is Baron Greenton. He wrote earlier that he might arrive on January 10."
"That's seventeen days left."
Hanks murmured inwardly, "Strengthen guards, everyone sleeps with weapons."
He gave a decisive command, and he felt a little hesitant: In the seventeen days, there should be no accidents?
However, what happened in the next few days still made him feel inexplicable chill in his heart ...
On December 24, the entire second squadron of patrols was annihilated.
On December 25, the fourth team was attacked and three were killed.
On December 26, Hanks was under pressure to reduce the scope of the scout's investigation. However, the orc attack continued, and the soldiers who were killed again began to become depressed. Some people even had fear of attendance.
On December 31, the logistical forces that should have arrived by the day had lost their messages for three days, which made Hanks' face even harder to look at ... He eventually sent four teams to investigate together, but the result ... was on the heavy transportation route The carriage and the bloodstains everywhere were found.
There were no corpses on the scene.
Hanks was full of anger, but in the face of such wrecks, he could only swallow his breath-everyone knew ... For orcs, human corpses are no different from animal corpses. In the cold winter when food is scarce, They are all fresh meat that can be belly-tipped.
These orcs have begun to invade Karen's territory blatantly!
In spite of revenge, morale fell to the bottom. As Supreme Commander, Hanks knew very well ... he had to make a decision.
Between "Killing the City" and "Proactive Attack", he resolutely chose the latter-because Hanks knew that if he was so trapped, morale and confidence would be completely lost, much more terrible than the death of a few people. .
"Assemble troops and prepare for battle!"
In the evening of December 31, Sora sentry entered its highest state of readiness.
And at the orc camp twenty kilometers away, Sauron was squinting and staring at a human soldier in front of him, asking indifferently: "Don't think that the things you just made can hide from me and lie in front of me. Is definitely not a wise choice. "
Watching a green-skinned, fang-mouthed guy speak such a methodical Blinga, the captured soldier was also a little cyanosis, he had several wounds on his body, and the pain caused his body to twitch, obviously there was The air is exhausted.
"I ... I wouldn't say ..."
"You don't say it, someone naturally said it."
There was no change in Sauron's expression, but he reached out and picked up his tomahawk, and smashed the man's head with a bang—the plasma and brain plasma splashed on his face. The hatred bearer The witch doctor licked his tongue and turned his eyes fiercely. "Bring the next one."
The dead humans are naturally regarded as "rations" by those orcs, but like his mentor, Sauron has a human-like behavior, has no interest in "human flesh", and does not even like his barbaric habits.
But as the leader of the exiled tribe, he knew very well ... that he actually had no way out.
The looting of these batches of logistics is heavy. Although the crisis of food shortage in the camp has been alleviated, it is not enough to rely on these foods to make the whole winter.
So all his next decisions are to fight for his own life, for the lives of all the clans.
And ... he must win!
"If you don't have a chance, you have to create it yourself."
Sauron clenched the warhammer in his hand, silently remembering what Sarrota taught him, raising his eyes to the second human being dragged in front of him, he didn't ask questions, but found out that the other party had begun scolding. :
"Oh! The orcs of Dog Day! Some kind of killed Lao Tzu--"
"Oh!"
Sauron directly completed the opponent, and the huge tomahawk smashed out. The terrible force instantly smashed the opponent's upper body into a pile of splashing slag. The corpse, which was run over by a train, "cracked" and landed on the ground. It was a pity that the orcs looked.
Then, Sauron held up his tomahawk, meditated on the spell, and smashed the tomahawk into the ground beside him after a dark red light flashed out!
"boom…"
The unprecedented quake quieted the entire camp for a moment. The soldiers of the tribe stopped and looked at the omnipotent young witch doctor with a frantic look.
"Tomorrow, we kill all humans!"
"kill!"
The wolf cavalry and orc infantry in humble armors held up their weapons and roared, their shouts combined, like a hungry beast awakened ...
However, these manic orcs did not know that at this moment, a few black crows were hovering above their heads.
"happy New Year!"
Roddy held up his water bag and shouted to the soldiers around him before the bonfire: "Open your stomach and eat, everyone is welcome!"
"it is good--"
The soldiers around Le Haha raised various containers. Although they drank water, the atmosphere finally made them feel warm.
Today is December 31. After the carriage's wooden wheels were replaced with sled boards, the entire army's travel speed suddenly increased by more than three times. The Sorah sentry originally expected to arrive on January 13 is now in sight. ...
At this time, the entire team was in a forest seven kilometers away from the Sola sentry post, and it was not impossible to rush there before dark. Roddy did this to obviously hide his whereabouts.
"Tomorrow we will send the team to investigate the situation. The team is here now."
"I see what you mean ... I'm silent, waiting for the opportunity, and we are now a dark arrow," Soderloll was very careful in discussing strategy and tactics with Roddy during this time. At this time, it is quite metaphorical to analyze: "These days The news is closed. I don't know how many of those nobles can help here-but I don't expect them to count. "
"Never put hope on others."
Roddy shook his head and picked up a bunch of roasted and crispy rabbit meat: "Our army is not large in number. Speaking of it, it doesn't really have much effect. You say we are dark arrows. In fact, this is correct. --Due to its weak strength, it is necessary to release the dark arrow, and the dark arrow ... often only has one chance. "
"Once we're exposed, it's tantamount to all the advantages."
This sentence made Soderlor thoughtfully: "So ... the dark arrow must be deadly."
Roddy was trying to say something, but Akasha who came over from the other side of the camp interrupted their conversation-the pastor's small face was a little serious, as she was followed by two formerly members of the "Holy Rose" Priest.
"Ika, Mason, it's been hard for days."
Get up and say a few words to these two "principals from the class", Roddy went straight to the subject, saying: "I know you may have some prejudice against Akasha, but ... I need to say a word to you very seriously now : The next enemy is the undead, the deadly enemy of humanity. "
"Is this reason enough for you to fight side by side, regardless of your suspicions?"
The two priests glanced at each other ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Although they nodded at the same time, it was obviously reluctant-Roddy smiled, reached out and took out four or five scrolls from the bag near the campfire and handed them to each other: If there is an emergency, use it for yourself. "
This is the buff scroll that Roddy specifically asked from Benjamin before leaving. Ika and Mason are obviously very cold about this kind of "upscale goods". With a series of guarantees, they leave cheerfully. Roddy looks at their back and sighs. With a sigh, he lamented Sodroll: "I'm not afraid of God's opponents, I'm afraid of the pig teammates. These two shelves are big and Carter can't figure it out, so I have to remind myself a few words before they remember."
"I'm not a pig."
Akasha heard him, and sat aside with a smile, seeing that Roddy didn't respond, but reached out and picked up a slightly smaller gray scroll. He said to him like a treasure: "Rody, tell you a secret ... "
"Well?" Roddy turned his head.
"I can open it ..."
Akasha put the quaint scrolls in Rody's hands, and at the same time, the words "Summon: Legion of the Dead" ejected on the screen invisible to others, making Roddy startled.
