The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 82: Go deep into orc territory

Views:

Fals looked at Regnar's figure in the distance, his eyes flickering. However, due to the presence of Annelotte beside him, he did not make any other action in the end, and just continued to use spells to kill the orcs.

Regnar swung the flaming blade to shake off the blood of the orc captain, and then looked behind him. The lame orc had not gone far yet.

Although Fars did not ask for the complete annihilation of the orcs, Regner still felt that it would be best to block the news that a human team had penetrated into the orc territory for a few days as long as possible.

Therefore, he dodged the attack of the two orcs who rushed towards him, then threw down the smoke bomb and disappeared from the enemy's sight.

Mordrick suppressed the grief in his heart and moved forward. When he turned back, he happened to see his father falling.

Anger, humiliation, sadness and other emotions came up all at once. He wanted to go back and fight that human to the death with the battle ax in his hand, but he did not do so.

Because Mordrick has a more important thing, to bring news to the surrounding tribes that the human team is about to invade.

Only now did he understand the reason why his father gave him this order. It was not only to reduce the damage to the tribe, but also to protect his only son.

The orc captain knew very well what a terrifying group of human mages they were, so when he discovered that there were three mages on the opposite side, he concluded that this battle was unwinnable.

"If I hadn't been so impulsive, maybe everyone wouldn't have died." Mordrick thought to himself.

Because he irresponsibly led the team to charge, the patrol team swarmed forward without knowing the strength of the enemy or ourselves. If they had followed their father's command at that time, maybe they would have been able to escape unscathed, at least they would not have ended up with the entire team wiped out.

Mordric endured the physical and mental pain, gritted his teeth and kept moving forward. He decided to commit suicide to atone for his sins after notifying all the tribes. Although this method of death was very humiliating in the eyes of the orcs, he He felt that this shame was nothing compared to the shame he was enduring now.

But he was destined to be unable to accomplish everything he expected, because Regna's figure appeared in front of him.

Regnar looked at Modric in front of him with interest. He had learned a lot about the orcs in the past two years. You must know that this group of stubborn guys always scream and rush forward when they encounter an enemy, but no orc has ever chosen to run away. Are orcs also timid and afraid

But Mordrick gave his answer with action. He waved his ax and rushed towards Regnar without hesitation.

Modric recognized clearly that it was this human who killed his father just now, and now he came to kill him again. Although he knew that he could not be this human's opponent, Mordrick still rushed over. If the battle is inevitable, if death is inevitable, then face it bravely! This belongs to

The pride of the orcs!

Regnar looked at Modric who rushed towards him with some surprise. He seemed to see his own shadow from two years ago in this orc. Although he is very weak, he still wants to use his meager strength to prove something.

Therefore, he did not kill Modric immediately. Regnar swayed his body and came behind him after avoiding the orc's slashing. Regnar bowed slightly, and then sent two fine steel daggers into the orc's knee sockets.

Having lost the support of his legs, Modric immediately fell to the ground, but he completely ignored the pain in his lower body and just struggled to turn over, looking at Regna with fierce and stubborn eyes.

Regnar and him looked at each other for a moment, and finally sighed and put the light-swallowing sword into Mordric's chest.

Regnar stared at Modric, and he found that judging from his appearance, this orc should be very young, probably only a little older than him, or maybe not even older than him? When the sword was inserted into his heart, Modric's face did not twist in pain. Regnar only saw humiliation, unwillingness, and...questions in his eyes.

Why? Why do you want to kill me? Why invade our homes? Regnar understood the meaning of that look.

He silently took out the Devouring Light, and then looked back blankly. The battle behind him was almost over. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of three mid-level mages, the orcs were cut into pieces like wheat after autumn. Harvest of slices.

Now there are only a few orcs left who are still fighting desperately, as if they have almost died without seeing their companions.

Under the desperate attack of the orcs, humans also suffered some casualties. Four of the twenty warriors that Fars brought with him were killed in the battle, and six others were wounded.

But for these casualties, Fars didn't even frown. In his opinion, these followers are expendable consumables, and it would be no shame if they all died.

On the other hand, Deville sighed for these dead people, and then he relapsed and began to pester Annelotte to inquire about her welfare. He even gave her two bottles of magic potion without explanation. As a mage, he knew very well how dangerous the void of magic was. pain.

Regnar returned to the crowd without saying a word. He nodded to Kordak and others, and then sat there blankly watching the others collect the loot.

"Mr. Kordak's mercenary team is indeed well-deserved. It seems that this temporary decision to hire you is a wise decision. Please accept my thanks." Fars came over at some point.

Kordak looked back at Fars, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Fars is serious, we are just rough people who use money to help others, and we can't be compared with a noble mage like you. I guess these hundreds of Mr. Fals doesn’t think much of gold coins.”

"Yes, a few hundred gold coins is indeed not a big amount for a mage. But isn't Miss Annelotte in Mr. Kordak's team also a mage? Why is she also working as a mercenary?" Fals asked seemingly unintentionally.

"Annie is naturally not short of money. She joined our mercenary team just for experience." Kordak would not be stupid enough to reveal Annelotte's true identity casually.

"Oh? I wonder if Miss Annelotte can be relied upon by the guild? With her talent, I think if she came to our Secret Eyes, her treatment would probably be just as high as mine." Fals asked.

Kordak was shocked. He didn't know if Fars wanted to test something, so he could only pretend to be nonchalant and said: "Then I don't know. I remember she said she had a teacher, but It’s hard to say whether there is a guild or not, at least I’ve never heard her mention it.”

"So that's it. What about little brother Regnar? He has level 11 fighting spirit at a young age and can be considered a rare genius. Hasn't he been absorbed by any guild?" Fals continued to ask, he now wanted to Try to find out more information about Regnar and Annelotte.

Kordak grinned: "That kid? He is a member of the chore department of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. He was wandering around Emerald Street two days ago. He basically collected the protection fees there."

Anyway, it was not a secret that Regnar was a member of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, so Kordak simply told him. Pretending to be mysterious will only arouse Fars' suspicion.

"Uh... So that's it... I didn't expect that the eleventh-level mid-level assassins can only work in the chore department of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. It seems that this mysterious organization is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger." Fals looked weird.

Seeing that Fars was confused by his blow, Kordak also took the opportunity to change the subject: "We have gained a lot from today's battle. What are Mr. Fars' plans next?"

Fars thought for a moment and said, "Continue to go deeper. This time we are going to visit the orc tribe."

"As you wish." Kordak didn't object. Anyway, Fars was here, so he couldn't be unaware of the danger. Since he still chose to go deeper, it only meant that Fars was sure of safe evacuation.

Two nights later, the team led by Fars came to the vicinity of an orc tribe.

An orc tribe is actually equivalent to a human town, except that there are more people, simpler buildings, and a dirtier environment.

As for cities, perhaps only Orgrimmar, the capital of the Orc Empire, can be considered a city. The rest of the cities are no different from pigsties in the eyes of humans. And Orgrimmar is probably only a second-rate city at best, and cannot be compared with the prosperous Meteor City.

"It's a big deal today!" Kordak was as excited as he was in the middle of the night.

No wonder, if we can really raid an orc tribe this time, we can probably kill five or six hundred orc warriors. Even if we only get one-third of the ears, it will be a huge sum of thousands of gold coins.

With this money, Uncle Kordak will be more confident when he goes to the Hammer of Fire to buy things. He does not have to rely on his body to carefully block Vera's eyes like in the past to prevent this shopping madman from watching. See something you shouldn't see.

"Okay, let's go, be careful and kill as many enemies as possible before attracting attention." Fals gave the final instructions after blessing everyone with magic.

The battle took place at midnight, and the sleeping orcs had no idea that humans could come here. They fought hastily, and some orcs even rushed out naked with wooden clubs. Without any surprise, they were either hacked to death by human knives, or turned into dregs by the spells of the three mages.

At dawn, all the orcs who resisted had been killed, and the remaining orcs were only old people, women, and children. They were guarded by ten well-armed humans, tied to each other with ropes and helplessly gathered together.

"Okay, it's time to go, I've made enough money with this ticket!" Kordak said while wiping the blood on his face.

"But, Mr. Kordak." Fals smiled and pointed to the last group of captured orcs and said, "There are still a group of ears here. Don't you want them anymore? This totals more than a thousand gold coins. Woolen cloth."
