The mercenary group gathered, and Ulan Nasha assigned tasks. I and a few more fleshly mercenaries (who are stronger than me no matter how fleshly they are) acted as "bait", she and Ying. Reis and several other masters sneaked into the castle to rescue people, while the remaining dozens of people hid outside the castle to respond.
There are five people in our "bait" team. Besides me, we are a warrior, an archer and two magicians. They are all young people in their twenties. They have painted on the chests of their armor and magic robes. The symbol of the Rein Army Corps.
There is a very prosperous town five miles outside Spruance Castle. Most of the residents in the town are orcs, but because it is located in a strong fortress, there are many businessmen coming and going, and the traffic is very lively.
We swaggered into the town, went to a restaurant, and deliberately shouted to get a table of food and wine to eat.
Archer Hans deliberately shouted loudly: "Brothers, do you think we can break Spruance Castle this time?"
Magician Carlo said loudly: "Of course we can. Our army of 100,000 will arrive soon, and we will definitely be able to level the Spruance Castle."
We were eating and drinking while deliberately talking loudly. It was difficult for the people dining around not to hear us. I noticed someone sneaking away quietly, thinking that they must have gone to the castle to report the news.
We had a full meal and then walked out of the restaurant.
Although my strength is the worst in the team, because Ulanasha said that I would be the leader on this trip, the sturdy warrior Lanat said to me: "Nameless, what should we do next?"
I said: "Our captors will arrive soon. When they appear, we will fight with them for a while and then retreat. The mission will be completed."
Lanat chuckled and said: "So this mission is so simple, easy, easy..."
Before he finished speaking, a thunderous sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, and smoke and dust were billowing in the direction of the castle in the east of the town. It seemed that many people and horses were galloping towards them.
The five of us newbies turned pale with fright. I hurriedly said to Carlo and another magician, Libo: "You two, why don't you hurry up and get ready."
The two magicians came to their senses and hurriedly started chanting incantations, while I pulled out the Yaye sword and prepared for battle with Lanat holding a battle ax and Hans with a bow and arrow.
Residents in the town obviously often encounter this kind of thing. As soon as they heard the sound of horse hooves, all the passers-by ran away. The streets that were bustling just now suddenly became quiet, leaving only the sound of horse hooves, which gradually increased from small to loud. echoing in our ears.
The cavalry soon appeared in our sights. They were dozens of fully armed orc soldiers. It seemed that they valued us quite a lot. They actually sent so many people to deal with the five of us.
I shouted: "Brothers, get ready."
Hans took the lead, and with a hiss of his long bow, a long arrow shot out, hitting the throat of the first of the orc soldiers two hundred meters away.
Good guy, he has a hand.
The orc soldier fell straight off his horse, and the other soldiers continued to gallop towards us without hesitation. They were really beasts, with no friendship at all.
Seeing that the cavalry was only a few dozen meters away from us, Libo raised his hand and threw a "flame ball" that immediately knocked the two soldiers off their horses. Carlo, who practiced spiritual magic, released a "fear spell". Because Shang Qian couldn't take effect on the orc soldiers, but their mounts were affected, and they stood up in unison and threw the orc soldiers to the ground.
He truly deserves to be called a mercenary of the "Rose Corps". Although he is the weakest among the mercenary groups, he is still much stronger than the average magician.
The worst one is me.
The orc soldiers who fell off their horses rushed over with various weapons. It was my turn and Lanat's turn to take action.
I hurriedly started to circulate my true energy, and then combined it with the strange energy coming from the center of my eyebrows to form a new type of true energy. While the true energy was flowing, I held the Yaye Sword tightly, and my whole body was ready to go. Like an arrow.
Although the orcs don't know how to use magic, their melee combat capabilities are first-class, and I don't dare to be careless at all.
At this time, Hans shot three long arrows at the same time, and two more orcs fell.
Lanat and I no longer hesitated and headed straight towards the attacking orcs, Hans. Libo and Carlo retreated quickly. They were good at long-distance attacks. Once the powerful orc soldiers got close, they would have no choice but to ask for God's blessing.
Lanat cut an orc in half with a single blow of his axe. I didn't show any weakness and used the basic swordsmanship taught me by Uncle Fred (my Qi is too weak now, so I can't defeat the enemy with the 'tactics') with one sword strike. The thrust was as fast as lightning, and it penetrated directly into the heart of an orc soldier before he could react.
Practicing Qi really works, my speed of drawing the sword is much faster than before.
Of course, Lanat and I had no illusions about defeating these dozens of powerful orc soldiers. We took action firstly to increase their attention to our "army" of the Principality of Lein, and secondly to make Hans and the others People can evacuate immediately and safely.
The three Hans who retreated a hundred meters away kept firing arrows. Fire balls and the "delusion technique" that can make the orc soldiers unable to concentrate came to support us. I knew that the drama was almost over, so I made a gesture to Lanat to escape.
Lanat yelled and swung his ax in the air. A faint cyan light shot straight from the ax blade to the orc soldiers who were rushing towards him, instantly cutting the three of them into six pieces.
This is the "vacuum blade" produced by waving the weapon at high speed. It is extremely sharp and is one of the warrior's long-range attack skills. Unfortunately, I cannot use it yet.
I blocked the heavy blow of an orc soldier with my horizontal sword and used my strength to retreat from the battle group. Lanat used brute force to rush out.
Then, the five of us started to escape at full speed, Hans and the others were shooting arrows while retreating. Cast magic to cover us.
We had already observed the terrain before entering the town. The reason why we chose to fight the orc soldiers here is because it is surrounded by dense forests. We can easily escape the pursuit by hiding in the forest, even if we have keen senses. Even the orcs cannot chase the five of us in this boundless jungle.
※※※
The five of us gathered together, and Libo released the prepared fire magic "Explosive Burning Ball" with all his strength. With his hand, more than ten small flame balls were shot over a large area at the approaching orc soldiers.
The destructive power of this "exploding burning ball" is not great, but its attack range is extremely wide, and it is most suitable for unleashing on large and dense groups of enemies.
More than ten small fireballs exploded in the group of orc soldiers, and screams suddenly came out. The five of us took the opportunity to rush into the forest beside the road.
Ha, it's safe.
With the cover of the forest, we quickly got rid of the pursuit of the orc soldiers.
I took off a small bag from my waist and opened it. A strange parrot with a small crystal white horn on its head immediately flew out and landed on my shoulder. It was Ying's "ghost parrot".
I said: "Go and inform the group leader that their 'bait' operation has been completed."
"Ghost Parrot" cried, nodded, spread its wings and rushed into the air.
Carlo said: "Wu Ming, our mission has been completed, what is the next step?"
I smiled and said: "What big things can we five flesh-footed mercenaries do? But we can't do nothing. Let's go for a walk outside Spruance Castle. Maybe we can really help our seniors. We are busy."
Carlo. Libo. Both Hans and Lanat agreed, and we walked along the path in the woods toward Spruance Castle.
After walking for about half a day, the majestic Spruance Castle appeared in front of us. Flags were waving in the square in front of the castle. More than 10,000 fully armed orc warriors lined up, and countless creatures were flying up and down in the air. A three-inch fire elf with transparent thin wings.
The five of us were busy lying down at the edge of the woods, not even daring to take a breath. Once discovered, we would be dead.
A lion warrior wearing golden armor, extremely majestic and majestic, strode up to the front of the orc army, raised his head to the sky and let out a roaring roar, and more than ten thousand orc warriors roared at the same time, deafening.
Such a majestic Witton made us five newcomers tremble with fear and break out in cold sweat.
With a flash of red light, an elf suddenly transformed into a human and landed beside the lion warrior. It turned out to be a very handsome man in red.
Carlo, who is more knowledgeable among the five of us, said: "If my guess is right, it is the fire elf king Lie Yan and the orc clan leader 'Lion King' Xiaotian. It seems that our bait is really good. We will use them as bait." All transferred from the castle."
At this time, a werewolf warrior knelt down on one knee in front of the "Lion King" Xiaotian and said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have ordered the left and right armies to advance side by side to intercept the army of the Principality of Leiin first. "
Xiaotian nodded his huge lion head and raised his voice: "Warriors, the army of the Principality of Leiyin is in front. We captured their princess in the last battle. Today, we will also capture their king." Come here. Warriors, are you ready?"
More than ten thousand orc warriors roared and roared again, each holding their weapons high.
Fire Elf King Lieyan roared loudly, and the fire elves flying all over the sky immediately formed a queue in the air, and flew out through the air under the leadership of Lieyan.
The orc warriors also started to take action. They strode out of the square in a neat queue (orc warriors are generally infantry and rarely ride horses except when performing special tasks). The uniform footsteps roared like thunder, which was very exciting. It feels like this is really a steely army.
When the fire elves and orc warriors disappeared from our sight, we came back to our senses and realized that our whole bodies were soaked with sweat.
Lanat whispered to me: "Wu Ming, did you say that the captain and the others have sneaked into the castle now?"
I said: "Based on the time, they should have sneaked in by now. The castle is very quiet now. It seems that the captain and the others are operating very smoothly."
Libo said: "I heard that Princess Feiya is one of the top ten beauties in the Holy Demon Continent, who is as famous as our captain and deputy captain. I really don't know what kind of beauty she is."
Hans said: "Won't we see it when the captain and the others rescue her? Maybe she will fall in love with one of us."
Carlo smiled and said: "Don't dream. The hero of our princess is Prince Charming. How can we, the mercenaries with knife-tips licking blood, get the turn."
I looked at the towering castle and said, "I wish the captain and the others all the best."
