The occurrence of such a situation may mean that it will be difficult for Rody to successfully manufacture higher-level equipment in the future—because if he devotes all his energy to studying these sub-classes, I am afraid that he will have to set aside a few years to reach the previous level... So Luo Di Di still decided to choose only "bow making" for development, and gave up the study of "leather making".
With such thoughts in mind, he began to think about recruiting more "lifestyle" NCs to do things for him—although only the blacksmith Stan in Nolan Village can be "wooed" now, this is still a good start. Leaders don't need to be good at everything. Roddy has gradually figured this out, so these days, how to "control" subordinates and let them better exert their own value has become a major research topic.
"Military training" is still going on, but the focus of the training has obviously changed. It is all about riding raids and camping in the wild. They even camped on the grassland only two kilometers away from the village for half a month to learn how to be reasonable. How to set up a tent, how to maintain your strength in the rainy environment, how to keep your clothes as dry as possible without getting sick, etc...
Many things are easy to say, but they will have real effects only after they have been really done and let the scouts form a conditioned reflex. These days, the training intensity is extremely high. Many times the physical strength of the soldiers is hovering at the limit, but the effect is also very good. Obviously, Roddy can clearly see the training results from the changes in their attributes.
Under the nutritious food and cruel training, although the soldiers' level has not been improved, the attribute value has gradually reached the limit of this level-apparently Rody gradually understands the difference between NC and players: NC upgrade is "automatic", The attribute growth is not like a player's ladder, but a linear increase. By the first ten days of August, their average attribute has increased by more than 20% compared to the beginning!
And after a long period of training, this scouting team, which had no combat effectiveness in the eyes of others, was mentally and physically ready for battle.
So in the early morning of August 14th, the scouts in front of Nolan Village had all packed their bags and made a gesture of departure.
"Commander, all soldiers are in position, waiting for instructions!"
Ruger and Soderol trotted over from a distance and stood at attention to salute, reporting the status of the team loudly.
call.
At the very beginning, some scouts questioned Rody in their hearts, but after hearing about the conflict between Sally and Francis, and knowing that Rody was Sally's savior, all the scouts stood firmly in the "Sally" "One faction—and now, his prestige has reached an unprecedented peak.
Taking a deep breath, and exhaling slowly, Rody raised his eyes and looked at the soldiers standing beside the horses not far away—the neat formation, the solemn atmosphere, although the average level was only about five levels, but suddenly , but it reminded him of the comrades who accompanied him to fight the orcs when he was more than 90 levels.
The scouts in front of me are no longer the cowardly cowards at the beginning. With the victories in battles and hard training, this team has completely broken away from the category of "lord's private army" that has no cohesion at all. , has become a powerful and terrifying team.
Stepping up to the front of the team, Rody didn't say too many words to boost morale, but silently performed a military salute and said, "For Karen's glory!"
This sentence has a profound meaning, because for Nolan Village, and even the entire Karen Kingdom, what these scouts are going to do, no matter whether they succeed or fail, will inevitably leave a strong mark in history!
"For Karen's glory!"
The tidy and impassioned responses resounded through Nolan Village.
The farmers stopped and watched. From their point of view, these scouts have been doing some strange things for the past two months, and they even went out for a month or so and didn't return, so it was not surprising to see them embarking on a long journey together again at this time. Some people even greeted these young lads and shouted "good job"-although they didn't understand what these scouts were going to do.
The sound of chaotic horseshoes seemed to vent the turbulent emotions in the soldiers' chests. Because of long-distance raids, Luo Di, who knows that "the emperor does not send hungry soldiers", armed this army to the teeth, and even each had a horse - a team of thirty people in total, full of supplies, He left Nolan Village with an extra 30 horses...
For the people and lords of the Karen Kingdom, in such a summer, none of them would notice that the scouts in a small village on the border were leaving suddenly. Sinking into an orgy of decay. Everything is the same as usual.
As for the orcs, starting from this day, Roddy and his team seemed like a nightmare without warning, quietly descending on that peaceful land.
…
August 21st, midnight.
For orcs who maintain nomadic habits, the location of their residence is always uncertain. Whenever the grazing cattle and sheep finish eating a piece of pasture, they will move to another piece of pasture, and the formation of the village at this time is the "rules" specially set by the orc tribe to train warriors. The so-called "villages" in the Beastman Kingdom are not inhabited by all members of the Beastman family like humans, but are basically some strong adult Beastmen—female Beastmen and children are usually responsible for grazing, and their purpose here , it is entirely for the purpose of making myself the strongest warrior and cultivating the most qualified warg...
Such a system has only been in place in recent years. The Rohar's Hammer tribe, which was the first to implement it, has a combat power far superior to other tribes, and gradually, nearby tribes have begun to follow suit. Up to now, almost all tribes in the entire kingdom have similar rules-because with such a village, the soldiers can be assembled faster, the quality of the soldiers is stronger, and more importantly...it is convenient for the chief to control!
Speaking of the original maker of this rule, it was the witch doctor Sarota—and in the "history" that belongs to Rody's memory, the purpose of Sarota's "creation" is to The future invades Karen Kingdom!
However, in the 8th year of the Beastman Kingdom, these villages established to train fighters were not as highly militarized as they would be in the future. To some extent, their current level is not even comparable to the scout organization in the Karen Kingdom. — Without a reasonable supervision mechanism and sufficient material encouragement, it is difficult for the orcs to work hard to train themselves under such conditions.
Therefore, in this village named Lundink belonging to the "Hammer of Rohar" tribe, the orcs who were sleeping soundly without warning at this time were not qualified fighters at all.
In the middle of the night, the bean-sized raindrops hit the roof of the tent densely, and the sleep of the orcs seemed to be unaffected by the noisy environment—because their snoring was even louder than the rain. There is no crisis of war here, and life is stable, so the village has never set up any sentries. If someone gets up at this time, it must be woken up by urinating.
And Lake was the guy who was awakened like this.
When he got up from the dirty bed, Rick fumbled in front of the window for a long time before he found his animal skin cloak that was used to keep out the rain. Lifting the curtain, he didn't even bother to open his eyes, so he walked forward - anyway, he couldn't see anything when he opened his eyes, so he thought about finding a place far away from the tent to pee and finish the job.
But after walking seven or eight steps, some strange noises suddenly came from the sound of the rain...
Tap, tap, tap—this sound was unfamiliar to Reick. At first, he thought it was Lord Sarota or Chief Rohar's wolf cavalry team coming, but after careful recollection, he remembered that there was no sign of the wolf cavalry when the warg was running. Such a voice.
The orcs don't raise horses, and Lake, who has never experienced war, has never heard the movement of the human cavalry charging. Without any vigilance in his heart, he pulled his cloak, reached out and took out his "brother" to release the water. His eyes turned curiously to the side where the voice came from, and he muttered, "What the hell is it..."
As soon as the words fell, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, and the pitch-black world instantly brightened like day.
And Lake, who was tilting his head and frowning to look at the side, happened to see the team he had never seen before in the rain during this second of light—
The neat triangular array, the cloak raised when moving at high speed, the mud splashed by the galloping horses...
A clear image was imprinted in the orc's eyes like a photo, but when the lightning disappeared and the darkness struck again, Lake couldn't understand what all this meant.
Thunder always comes after lightning. Seven or eight seconds later, thunder rang through Lundink Village—and it was at this point that Lake yelled "Ah"...
His shout was full of unprecedented panic and fear, but it was covered by the thunder without any suspense, so that no one in the whole village heard his only "early warning".
Turning around and trying to escape, the desire to urinate in his crotch could no longer be stopped, but he simply forgot to lift his pants—so much so that after running a few steps, he tripped over the leg of the trousers and fell to the ground...
His sturdy body slapped on the muddy grass with a "slap", he desperately got up, opened his mouth and wanted to shout loudly, but in the dark night, the team that came crashing like a tsunami had already appeared in front of him. before.
Lightning appeared again, and the last scene left in Lake's field of vision was only the bright knife flashing under the lightning.
"puff-"
With the strong momentum of the horse, Rody's scimitar directly chopped off the orc in front of him - before the opponent's body fell down, it was hit by Soderol's horse on the ground, and then was formed by more than 30 horses. The battle formation was directly crushed into meat sauce...
The scouts rushed into the camp, and the soldiers on both sides quickly cut off the ropes of the tent. Some orcs noticed the anomaly and walked out of the tent shouting—then they were greeted with the same fate as Lake.
That night, all fifty-four orc soldiers in Lundink village were massacred!
Six hours later, in the early morning of August 22nd... the adjacent Glenn Village was attacked in the same way, and no orcs survived.
In the evening of that day, the "Blood Spear" tribe, forty kilometers away, also suffered a similar blow.
Similar attacks continued to appear in one go, and by the night of August 24th, five similar villages had been flattened!
And until then, the chief of the "Hammer of Rohar" had just discovered the fact that the village of Lundink had been massacred.
"Blitzkrieg" is simply a means of war that has never appeared in this world. Even in wars seventy years ago or even earlier, this terrible "record" of massacring five villages in four days has never been heard of!
So when this happened, the orcs were completely dumbfounded.
"These bloody bastards!"
Chief Rohar swung his hammer and smashed the wooden table in the tent, yelling viciously: "Call someone! Tell me all the soldiers! I must make Blood Spear pay the price!"
The most powerful chief in the tribe was really like a lion when he was angry. The servant standing at the door was trembling with fright, but he did not forget to remind him in a low voice: "Chief, do you need to talk to the Sarota witch doctor—"
"You can't fucking understand what I'm saying?"
Before the words were finished, the iron hammer hit the ground in front of the servant with a "bang"... The blast blasted the servant directly, and it took more than a second for the orc weighing more than 200 kilograms to control it. It landed on the ground six meters away—"I said to inform all the soldiers, listen! Yes! No! Yes!"
"If you don't understand, die to me!"
On the other side, the servant who was injured by the air wave spit out a mouthful of blood "Wow", immediately shouted "Yes", got up and ran away...
A lot of conflicts had accumulated between "Rohal's Hammer" and "Blood Spear". Chief Rohar had been overwhelmed by such things before, but when he heard his subordinates report that two villages of the tribe had been slaughtered At that time, he didn't even think about it, and almost immediately decided that this matter was a provocation from "Blood Spear" to him!
There is nothing wrong with this judgment, because they would not have thought that a human team would drive straight in and kill here directly from the Karen Kingdom.
"Bloodspear tribe. This time I will not die with you!!!"
Rohar, who was getting angry, would not know that at almost the same time, a similar voice echoed in the tent of the chief of the Bloodspear tribe—
"Rohal! I must pay for your blood!!!"
The huge battle ax shattered the rough wooden chair with a "swish", and the wolf tooth necklace hanging around the neck fluttered, and the blood stains on it further set off the anger of the "Blood Spear" chief Sak.
"He actually slaughtered three of my villages. It is unforgivable! Unforgivable!"
The tomahawk swept again, and the half of the wooden chair that was left was smashed into pieces, and the splashed sawdust even penetrated the thick tent. The movement made the subordinates standing in front of Hassar feel like they were on pins and needles, sweating profusely.
"Assemble your warriors. I'd like to see what other abilities Rohar has other than despicable sneak attacks?!"
"Yes! Chief!"
The trembling servants rushed out of the tent, and quickly headed towards the villages one by one, starting the assembly of the team...
The tribal conflicts that might have been eased had become completely out of control because of the disappearance of five villages on both sides. By now, all the orcs understood... this war was inevitable.
...
August 25th, night, heavy rain.
While the two orc chiefs were angrily planning a battle, on the vast grassland, the scout team led by Rody completely disappeared under the rain curtain like a ghost.
There was heavy rain, and visibility was less than 300 meters. Among the undulating grassy slopes, low green simple tents are scattered all over the field of vision. From a distance, they are almost unrecognizable—a team of thirty people is taking shelter in this "camouflage tent" at this time. The rain is resting.
After changing into dry clothes in the watertight tent, the scouts were chewing hard jerky and holding the ale that they carried when they set off. Obviously, even in such a harsh environment, they still maintained a high-calorie diet. Trying to recover his physical strength.
Although the temperature seemed a bit cold due to the heavy rain, it was undeniable that all the scouts were burning with enthusiasm in their hearts at the moment—because. The 30-member scout team miraculously maintained zero deaths after going through these battles! Not even a serious injury appeared!
Two wolf cavalry squads patrolling the situation, and five orc villages with armed forces—the orc kingdom, which three generations of Karen Kingdom people have never taken the initiative to fight back, was torn apart by these scouts in the eyes of others. A deep rift!
And what excites them the most is that the stupid enemies, who didn't even know it was done by them until now, mistook it for the actions of the hostile tribes and began to gather troops and prepare to kill each other!
In the past, they were yearning for the "legendary stories" in the mouth of those bards, but now they are gradually discovering. The team he is in now seems to be creating a legend that is far more exaggerated than those stories.
Excited in their hearts, these scouts would involuntarily look at the slightly larger tent not far away, with a little reverence in their eyes.
There is the "temporary headquarters" of Roddy, the mastermind of this "legend".
"The rain is heavier than in previous years, which can just cover our tracks."
It was Soderol who was talking at this time, and there was a dirty mud mark on his face, but no one would pay attention to his appearance at this time, because Roddy and Ruger who were crowded in front of him looked equally good Where to go.
The tent was said to be a "temporary headquarters", but it was actually only small enough for Roddy, Soderol, and Ruger to squat together. Rody shook his head after listening to Suo Deluoer's words, and replied: "Our luck is better. We can cover up as much as we can, and fake as much as we can, but we will leave flaws in the end. In the end, these orcs will eventually understand what happened. What—but when the war starts, none of that matters."
"So now it seems that the fire should be about the same."
Soderol looked at the map, and several villages marked on it had been marked with crosses, which represented that they had been captured. And the light used for lighting in the tent came from the ring on Rody's finger, and it was tightly covered, so they were not afraid that the light would be discovered.
"Our strategic goal has been basically achieved, and there is only one village left tomorrow, and then we can retreat."
Rody pointed to the village marked "Cossack", "But I really didn't expect to meet two wolf cavalry patrols on the way. After all, we have done almost the same... If you want me to say, tomorrow's village, it's not too late." It doesn't have to be offensive."
"I think... before they figure out the situation, they can kill one more person."
Ruger looked at the map placed among the three of them, and touched the bandage on his head while talking—it was the wound left when he attacked the wolf cavalry squad. Obviously, the hatred for the orcs in his heart would not follow a few raids. successfully eliminated.
"Now that's what I'm hesitating about."
Rody raised his head, looked at Soderol, and asked, "What do you think?"
