Of course, the aesthetics of orcs are different from that of humans. It can even be said that the culture and philosophy of this race are very different from humans. The good things in their eyes may not have much value in the eyes of humans, but they have rich game experience in "cracking earth". The old Roddy naturally has enough eyesight to identify these items—the things in the box have not been damaged by the flames, a leather bag, a bone emblem, a metal ingot the size of a palm, and other than that are some strange-smelling air-dried Bacon, Rody suspects that it might be human meat, because orcs are never shy about eating any moving creatures, and human meat is regarded as one of the high-level foods by them, and only orcs with high status can eat it.
Ignoring the frowning bacon, Rody picked up the remaining items and called everyone to evacuate from the burning camp—before leaving, he didn't forget to ask Carter to throw away the orc supplies in the camp into the fire.
On the dark grassland, the blazing camp looked like a huge bonfire from a distance, but with the light, Rody and his party calmly turned over the grassy slope, bandaged the three slightly injured scouts, He found the horse, and then went straight back to Nolan Village.
The air at ten o'clock in the middle of the night seemed a little damp and cold, and when it was blowing on their faces, most soldiers still felt unreal. No one spoke along the way, and the sound of horseshoes on the silent grassland made everything feel like a dream. When I took a big breath, I could still smell the peculiar smell in the orc camp.
But Rody understood that the seed called "confidence" had been quietly buried in the hearts of these soldiers.
The speed of the horses is not fast. It only took more than an hour to come, but they walked for nearly two hours on the way back. It wasn't until they saw the sign at the entrance of Nolan Village by the light of the torch that they collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, the uncontrollable joy and excitement in my heart spread quietly.
"Is this... victory?"
"Won…?"
"We...succeeded."
"We won!"
At first, it was just whispers, but as the emotions vented, the excited soldiers even gave out passionate shouts. Carter sat on the horse with a silly grin and encouraged the heroic scouts loudly, while Luge watched the scene silently. Everything, when no one was paying attention, quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.
Everyone has their own mood, or it may be different, but victory is, after all, pleasing.
Rody didn't stop these soldiers from venting their emotions in the middle of the night. He actually let out a sigh of relief in his heart—this battle basically didn't deviate from the original plan. It also achieved the expected goal. For Rody, this enough.
When the soldiers were cheering, Ruger was the first to get out of this emotion. Veterans are indeed more sober than these young people, and now, Ruger no longer doubts Rody's ability. He easily slashed and killed three orcs in the battle. This unprecedented double-opening feeling made him have more expectations in his heart, so much so that now he even wants to find another group of orcs to fight, even if the battle There is no regret in dying on the battlefield.
At this time, he walked up to Roddy, and asked with some expectation: "Captain Roddy, what are you going to do next?"
The agitated soldiers immediately looked at Rody, who got off his horse and replied: "Rest, wait for the next opportunity for action, if Suoding can't bring reinforcements, there is only so much we can do... maybe there is only so much we can do." .”
His words were like pouring cold water on their heads, and the grinning expressions of the soldiers gradually froze, and finally fell silent one by one, just like when Carter and his party returned here yesterday, they also realized the pressure on their chests. The unavoidable fact: the two teams have a total of fifteen scouts, after all, they can't afford to overturn any big waves.
"Will there be more fighting?"
Carter asked aloud from the side, and his question seemed to be the question of all the soldiers, so that the originally lively team fell silent in an instant.
Rody raised his head, intending to say those cruel words, but when he saw the eyes full of fighting spirit, he was startled—
The long-term peace had already caused these scouts to lose the will to fight and resist. Occupied by orcs, encroached and annexed by neighboring countries, and disintegrated by civil strife. These things that will happen in Roddy's memory all show that a nation and country that has lost the sense of struggle is completely hopeless.
But today, their blood, which was originally concealed by ease and laziness, seemed to be completely stimulated by this battle...
Roddy suddenly saw hope.
He clenched his fists and said: "There will be battles, and there will be more and more battles."
…
After the team disbanded, Rody returned to the accommodation room a little tired. When the soldiers were looking for food to satisfy their hunger, he came to his bed alone and took out the "trophies".
The first thing that caught his eye was the emblem made of bones. Rody knew that this was the proof of the clan in the orc kingdom, similar to the noble emblem among humans, and it was used to identify the identity and the name of the tribe. He frowned and looked at the emblem, on which was a symbol that "cracked earth" human players were no strangers to: Warhammer.
This means that the orc camp he attacked belongs to the "Hammer of Rohar", the mortal enemy of fate!
This tribe is officially famous on the mainland, entirely because of their crazy plundering of the Karen Kingdom. Rody didn't even want to recall the suffering that the orcs without moral lower limit brought to the Karen Kingdom. At this time, his fingers holding the emblem trembled.
"Sure enough, history is still the same."
Putting the emblem aside, he picked up the palm-sized metal ingot, and he weighed it. Rody, who has rich experience in forging, drew out the scimitar and stroked it lightly with the edge. He exhaled slowly: "It turned out to be a blood mine."
"Blood ore" is a common name for "iron-rich ore derivatives" by players in the game. It is an ore containing iron, but it contains some energy bodies that allow blacksmiths to create powerful weapons. Of course, "powerful "It's just that compared with the whiteboard equipment, it can't add powerful magical effects like "hot" or "cold" to the weapon, but it can increase the hardness and sharpness of the weapon by a large margin. A nice add-on item for a staged weapon crafting.
This harvest has already made Rody feel that his trip was worthwhile, and then he opened the smelly leather bag and dumped the contents in front of him—a piece of sandpaper with crooked writing and a set of knuckles, shells and stones. made of voodoo dice.
"Show attributes."
He called out his attribute panel and equipment panel, and at the same time turned his attention to the attributes of the set of voodoo dice in the messy data in front of him—
humble voodoo dice
Requirement Level 3
carry
Spirit +1
Intelligence +1
"Witch doctors never get tired of trading voodoo dice."
Obviously, this is a tasteless item. Rody, a legionnaire, does not need items that increase intelligence and spirit at all, because intelligence is not linked to IQ, and only affects a person's mana recovery speed and magic attack bonus.
It didn't surprise Rody that the things of the witch doctors became the private collection of the orc leader, because he was familiar with all the details of the orc culture, so he concluded that the orc must be a witch doctor related to "Rohar's Hammer" have a direct affiliation. Under normal circumstances, owning these divination tools eliminated by witch doctors means that the status of the holder is much higher than that of ordinary orcs.
"Rohar's Hammer, Witch Doctor, Sarota..."
A few key words came to Roddy's mind. "Rohar's Hammer" was the tribe that benefited the most from the orcs who later invaded the Karen Kingdom. Therefore, they also suffered from the jealousy of many other tribes, and even caused Armed with each other. However, the three chiefs of this tribe were more cunning and cruel than the last in the war. Among them, Sa Luota, who was only a tribal witch doctor at this time, should be the third and most powerful chief in later generations—under his leadership , the Hammer of Rohar tribe has grown stronger than ever, and even has enough capital to passively stand by and even resist the orders of the "King of the Axe" of the Beastman Kingdom.
Sarota is a witch doctor who came out of the "bottom". When the Karen Kingdom became a tragedy and scholars from other countries began to study the history of the "Hammer of Rohar", they concluded such a rule: This witch doctor is never as stingy as other witch doctors. He often gives the discarded items in his hands to his subordinates who he thinks have development potential to make friends with - this method is very common among humans, but few people do it among orcs , and this also paved the way for him to become stronger than other orcs in the future.
This text is the basis for Rody's current judgment.
Because of the faction relationship, technical nerd Luodi has naturally read these research documents on Sarotta, but when recalling these contents, he suddenly felt that at this point in time, something big seemed to happen.
Frowning tightly, Rody couldn't remember the specific content. After all, for him, he had never experienced anything about the events before the game server opened. Those clues only came from some books and quests. Remember it's not realistic at all. But when he thought that he would face the most aggressive chieftain and his men in the history of the orc empire, he still felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Knowing that he and this witch doctor would meet sooner or later, Rody never thought that he would have contact with him so early. He settled down, stretched out his hand to flip over the grass sandpaper unique to the Orc Empire, and recalled the content on it—his behavior was tantamount to asking for trouble in the eyes of others, because most civilians in the Karen Kingdom generally believed that orcs were It is not worthy of having written inheritance. Even if there is written evidence, most people think that it is the most primitive pictograph.
But no one would have guessed that the ranger Roddy, who had experienced countless battles and intelligence interception work before his rebirth, was a guy who was proficient in orc language and characters, so even if these were written in orc Sabine, he could still understand them. .
This piece of grass sandpaper was rubbed a bit rotten, it should be the marks left by the communication of birds, Rody tried hard to read the handwriting, and his brows that had just been stretched gradually frowned.
Some of the handwriting could not be read clearly, and he only roughly recognized a few words from it: "Assembled Squadron", "Four days later", "Raid".
Rody glanced at the date mentioned in the letter and the vague inscription, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
He rubbed his temples vigorously, and smoothed the paper with trembling fingers to reconfirm what he saw. These contents gave his vague memory a clearer direction—Saron, Rohar's Hammer, and now Date: April 8, Elrond…
Roddy felt more and more that stringing them together seemed to point to an important event that happened in history!
