The entire Orc camp was not big. There were only three Orcs patrolling the area. Their footsteps were sloppy, and they were not worried about being attacked. They just patrolled the area every half an hour or so. At this time, the light from the bonfire gradually dimmed, making the field of vision even darker. However, the Orcs' sturdy bodies were still obvious in the light.
When the three Orcs' figures slowly walked around the tent and appeared in the eyes of the second team of scouts, Roddy, as the commander, began to give the soldiers beside him the order to attack in a low voice.
"Shoot the one on the left."
"Shoot the one in the middle."
"You, the one on the right."
"Shoot the one on the left."
.
Six soldiers were arranged to take aim at the three Orcs, while Roddy himself took two steps back. He took a light breath and said in a low voice, "Shoot when you hear the sound of my bowstring, and then immediately run towards the sentry tower."
Immediately after, the horn bow was suddenly pulled into a full moon shape, and the long arrow was aimed at the sentinel on the sentry tower.
* Hum — *
The horn bow, which had been installed with a sound suppressor, only produced a barely noticeable muffled sound in the darkness — this was the result of Roddy adjusting the bow block. Compared to the explosive sound of the Orc's bow, the horn bow now could be said to be almost silent!
The arrow streaked across the pitch-black night.
* Puff! *
His arrow instantly pierced through the Orc sentry's head. The sound of the arrowhead piercing through the skull was covered by the sound of the bonfire. The sentry did not even have time to scream before he died. The sound of his body falling did not even reach the other end of the trench.
At the same time, six arrows were shot at the three patrolling Orcs seventeen meters away!
Although the scout's short bow was not as powerful as the horn bow in Roddy's hand, shooting at such a close distance still severely injured the Orcs. Two Orcs fell to the ground in an instant, but one of them did not die because the arrow missed. The sudden attack caused him to roar in fear. He hesitated for two seconds, then raised the weapon in his hand, wanting to rush over.
But in the next moment, his throat was pierced by Roddy's arrow.
Putting down the bow in his hand, Roddy no longer suppressed his voice and shouted, "Follow me!"
In the next moment, Roddy took the lead and dashed towards the sentry tower in the distance. The six scouts behind him ran after him in unison. When Roddy reached the sentry tower, he stabbed the bodies of two other orcs whose fate was unknown. He then led the scouts over the orcs' corpses and dashed towards the ten-meter-tall sentry tower in the distance!
The bonfire elongated the shadows of these scouts, who had experienced a sneak attack for the first time. The orc camp had entered a state of alert after that brief shout just now. The young scouts felt as if their hearts were about to jump out of their chests, because they could even see many swaying figures appearing on the tents …
"Quick! Charge! "
Roddy patted Carter's back and gestured for all the scouts to climb the wooden ladder of the sentry tower. He, on the other hand, moved from his position as the leader to the rear. More and more figures rushed out of the Orc tents in a hurry. Roddy, who was holding the horn bow, did not hesitate to raise his hand and draw the bow. An arrow shot an orc more than ten meters away in the eye socket. While reaching for the next arrow, he turned around and stepped onto the wooden sentry tower. After taking three steps, he turned around and shot another arrow!
"Pu!"
An orc who ran to the weapon rack to retrieve his horn bow was shot through the back of his heart and fell to the ground.
Logically speaking, if the same arrow hit a non-vital part, even with the horn bow in Roddy's hand, it would still take three to four arrows to kill an orc of the current level. However, Roddy's accurate archery was like a cheat. Every arrow was able to cause critical damage and instantly kill the opponent!
At the current stage, unless he encountered a powerful enemy that he could not break through, Roddy's attack power had an overwhelming advantage. However, this did not mean that he was invincible. More and more enemies poured out of the camp. Although Carter and the others who had climbed to the top of the sentry tower began to fire suppressive shots, it was obvious that the seven of them could not stop the Orcs' advance. After Roddy reached the top of the sentry tower, he killed two orcs who were trying to get close to the sentry tower with three arrows in a row. However, he was anxiously waiting for Luge's actions.
Finally, just as the group of orcs were about to rush up the sentry tower, a flaming red arrow suddenly flew across the sky from the other side of the camp!
The flaming arrows flew towards the flammable tents. Three consecutive batches of fire arrows covered almost all the tents on the east side of the camp. In less than half a minute, the fire started to get out of control. The orcs who ran out of the tents were instantly dumbfounded. An orc who looked like the leader shouted an order, but before he could finish, he was accurately shot by Roddy.
This attack was the most crucial one in the entire battle — after losing their leader, chaos began to spread in the Orc's camp.
Therefore, in the next five minutes, the scouts on the sentry tower began to fire suppressive shots without any pressure. The hesitation of these orcs caused them to not know whether to put out the fire or charge up the sentry tower under the rain of arrows. This was because the six corpses in front of the sentry tower with arrows in their heads clearly told them that there was an extremely powerful character on the tower.
This situation proved that Roddy's plan was working.
After the three batches of fire arrows passed, Roddy directly turned back and shouted at Carter, "Everyone! Get down the tower and charge! "
His order was immediately answered. In the distance, the first team, who had circled around the place where the arrows were fired, shouted loudly and rushed towards the camp from another direction. They had already carried out his previous order perfectly —
At this moment, all the orcs were dumbfounded. For a moment, they thought that they were surrounded by humans!
In the dark, they could not see how many people there were outside their camp. The only thing they knew was that there were people around them who were constantly being shot and falling to the ground. As the soldiers on the sentry tower rushed down, these orcs actually reacted in disorder before they even faced the humans head-on!
They had underestimated the number of humans and lost their leader in the first place. This continuous attack caused the orcs to not even have the consciousness to resist. They directly collapsed and scattered like birds and beasts …
At this moment, they were far from their usual fierce combat strength. The veteran Ruger had already pierced the throat of an orc with his sword — the orc did not have the will to fight due to panic and fear. He did not even have the time to resist before he was killed by Ruger!
Ruger could not suppress the joy in his heart. He was so excited that he wanted to shout out loud. He had never thought that a war could be fought like this … From the beginning to the end, he had the upper hand and won with fewer people. In the dark, he had defeated the enemy as soon as they came into contact …
There was no longer any contempt for Roddy. At this moment, he was completely convinced by Roddy!
He twisted his body to dodge and slashed horizontally with his sword. Another orc's head flew up into the sky. Blood splattered everywhere. Ruger shouted to boost the morale of the team. Then, he turned his head and saw Roddy's figure in the distance. At the same time, Roddy raised the scimitar in his hand.
At that moment, Lu Ge finally understood what kind of person he had offended. If the previous battle made him understand how terrifying the Orcs were, then Rody's current situation made him understand that humans could also deal with the Orcs in this way!
Facing the human scouts who rushed down from the sentry tower, the orcs only showed the most basic resistance. The orc standing at the front waved the wooden stick in his hand and swept it horizontally. However, the human in front of him suddenly fell to the ground and forcibly avoided the whistling sound of the wooden stick.
The next moment, when the orc raised his arm and wanted to attack, the human in front of him jumped up like a carp and stood up. He combined his two swords and slashed at the orc's collarbone!
"Ka!"
The sound of metal colliding with bone was heard. However, Roddy's strength was not enough to completely cut off the orc's arms. So, he changed his move and raised his leg to kick the orc's chest. He used the force of the kick to backflip and landed on the ground. He pulled out his two swords and spun in a big circle with blood splattering everywhere. Then, he used the momentum of inertia to swing his swords at the orc again!
The orc whose arms were injured tried to block with the scimitar in his hand. However, he found that Roddy's first slash had broken his block. The second slash followed closely and slashed diagonally into the orc's neck!
The orc's arteries were broken. Half of the orc's head was cut off. Blood spurted out more than a meter high from his neck.
This was the power of dual wielding weapons. Pure attack after attack. The rhythm was much fiercer and fiercer than a two-handed weapon or a sword and shield combination. Even the orcs, who were power-type enemies, could not adapt and block in a short period of time. On the other hand, Rody's strength aroused the desire of his comrades to fight. They rushed towards the panicking enemies. Together with Lu Ge and the others, they began to encircle the last ten orcs in the camp.
Although the fourteen scouts were more than the remaining twelve orcs, Roddy did not dare to be careless. Even if he was the strongest in the team, he knew that he could not face more than two orcs at the same time.
At this moment, victory was not in the bag. So, Roddy immediately shouted to Ruger and Carter, "Get out of the way and force them to retreat!"
The method of surrounding three orcs and one orc was not outdated. Under the sea of fire, the orcs did not have much fighting spirit. Ruger, who had already killed the third orc, immediately retreated to the side and opened up the biggest path out of the camp. Just as Roddy expected, the orcs really retreated under the encirclement. After he used his swords to chop off the head of an injured orc, they turned around and began to flee!
They won just like that?
The human soldiers in the camp panted as they watched the Orcs flee into the distance. They could not believe what they were seeing. However, when they reacted and wanted to chase after the Orcs, they heard Rody's loud order to stop them.
"Clear the battlefield immediately and retreat!"
Roddy raised his hand and killed the orc who still had a trace of life left by his feet. He shouted to Ruger, "We must leave here in five minutes. Return to the warhorses. No one is allowed to stay!"
"Understood!"
Ruger loudly responded to his order. Then, he quickly called a few soldiers to clean up the battlefield. The results of the statistics shocked even a veteran like him. In the entire battle, there were no casualties among the scouts. Only three were lightly injured.
He was very clear that almost all the credit went to Roddy. If it wasn't for the fire attack and the suppression of the sentry tower, if it wasn't for his accurate archery, if it wasn't for his arrangements … the orcs would not have been defeated so easily.
And Roddy understood that the current result was the limit of what he could do. To be honest, the eight orcs that escaped had no chance of winning unless they gave him a chance to kill them one by one. He naturally understood the principle of not chasing a cornered enemy, but the most important thing now was to settle the spoils of war.
Fortunately, these scouts were not mercenary players. At this time, the ground was littered with orc corpses and the soldiers were searching for the spoils of war. But Roddy knew that these guys would not carry the truly useful things with them.
A half-burnt tent at the side had completely collapsed. Roddy hurriedly ran over and pulled away the still burning cloth. Then, he rummaged through the ashes to find what he wanted. The orcs had a habit. The highest leaders liked to put their valuables under their bed, even if their bed was a simple wooden board or a pile of soft straw on the ground.
