Roddy was sure that the Orc camp in front of him was the first sharp tooth that the Orcs had extended to the Kingdom of Karen. Because of its existence, the Orcs would gradually encroach on the border villages of the Kingdom of Karen in the next few years. About three years later, when the kingdom was in civil strife, the Orcs would start a large-scale invasion!
Roddy was determined to save the kingdom. Although he was hot-blooded, he understood that he was not qualified to explain the far-reaching significance of this inconspicuous camp to others. After all, he was only a Level 1 soldier. If he casually said some "alarmist" words, who would believe him?
He needed strength. He needed the right to speak. He needed to become stronger.
Thinking of the shock he gave these scouts at the shooting range today, Roddy coughed softly and said, "This should be a typical small Orc camp. According to the number of tents … there should be about 28 to 34 people."
"There are traces of a simple animal pen outside the camp. This proves that there are Wolf Riders, and there are about eight of them."
"The enemy's combat power is not strong. Moreover, the Wolf Riders have gone out to patrol. There should be about 20 people left to guard the camp."
These words shocked the group of scouts. Although they could occasionally see the Orcs from afar at the border, or they could get some information about the Barbarians from the rumors that were passed down, none of them could really make such an accurate judgment with just a glance.
On top of that, they clearly remembered Rody's appearance the day before. He was a coward who turned pale in fear when he saw a wild wolf. How could he have the calmness of a veteran who could make a judgment at that moment?
However, when they thought about how Rody had shot all 12 arrows at the same spot and how he had beaten up Ruge, they had no choice but to believe that Rody was not as simple as they thought.
"You … I … I mean … if we attack, do you think we have a chance of winning?"
As the captain, Carter wanted to say a few words to maintain his prestige. But obviously, he was not confident enough. He simply changed his tone and asked politely.
Roddy frowned and looked forward. He thought for a moment and answered cautiously, "I think we have no hope of fighting them head-on. There is also the possibility of encountering the Orcs' cavalry at any time. The Wolf Riders usually don't go too far, because they —"
Before he finished his sentence, he suddenly turned his head. When the scouts were confused, he suddenly pulled the reins and said hurriedly, "Quick! Go down! Don't stay here! "
Carter frowned, but he did not hesitate and followed Roddy down the grassy slope. They hid out of sight of the Orcs' camp. But the military quality of the group was not as good as Roddy thought. Two scouts' riding skills were not good enough. They commanded the horses for a long time, but they still could not get down from the top of the slope.
Roddy thought to himself, "This is bad." Although he did not see anything strange, he could not forget the unique sound of the warg's footsteps. This proved that the Orc cavalry was approaching!
Although the Orcs here were only level 2 to 4 trash in his memory, the cavalry was the nightmare of all new players. Their mobility was strong. Once they were attacked by the Wolf Riders, normal players would not be able to resist if they did not have enough long-range power. Even level 10 soldiers with heavy shields would not be able to resist the charge of the Wolf Riders!
"Damn it!" Roddy heard the warg's footsteps in the distance and knew that the other party had discovered them. He did not continue to hide and immediately shouted, "Get out of here! Quick, quick, quick! "
At this time, Roddy did not care about letting Carter give the order. He knew that if he was a step late, the whole army would be wiped out. His words unconsciously carried the power of the former "Shadow Hunter", causing the soldiers to unconsciously obey him.
He looked into the distance and immediately sorted out a reasonable escape route according to his memory. He turned his head and shouted, "I know the safe escape route. Follow me. Don't look back!"
Carter obviously knew who was the most reliable at this time. He instinctively responded, "Everyone, follow me!"
The team immediately set off. Just as their warhorses started to speed up, a group of black figures suddenly appeared on a slope in the distance.
The Orc's Wolf Riders really did outflank them as Roddy had expected!
Those warg wolves were not as tall as the warhorses, but they had the sturdy bodies of calves. Together with the fierce Orc warriors on their backs, they looked very imposing.
Hearing the strange sound behind them, the scouts turned their heads and were immediately scared out of their wits. They immediately kicked their horses' abdomens and followed closely behind the team. The three scouts who had just joined the second team did not understand why Captain Carter would listen to Roddy's words. Now, they really understood the reason.
The number of these Wolf Riders was actually as accurate as Roddy had predicted! No more, no less. There were exactly eight of them!
A lingering fear rose from the bottom of their hearts. If it were not for Roddy's decisive order, they would have been chased down the slope by those fellows!
Thinking of this, the scouts could not help but feel grateful to Roddy. However, when they turned their heads, they found that the route Roddy was taking was a little strange. They did not understand why the "safe route to leave" mentioned by Roddy were all rugged slopes. Logically speaking, shouldn't the fastest route for the horses be on a gentle slope?
What they did not know was that although the Orc's Wolf Riders were very powerful in short distances, their endurance was far less than that of the warhorses. At this moment, the scouts were basically climbing a slope. Due to their size, the Wolf Riders would be even slower when climbing a slope. The advantage of short-distance pursuit had been greatly reduced. If they could not catch up with the Orcs within a kilometer, the warhorses would definitely be able to leave the exhausted Wolf Riders far behind on the flat road.
Due to the long period of peace, the Kingdom of Karen had long forgotten the combat methods and characteristics of these Orcs. However, Roddy was very clear about it. There was another reason why he chose to go up the slope. The Wolf Riders were not only unparalleled in their charge, they also had a powerful skill called "Casting Net". Once the running warhorses were caught in the net, the outcome was obvious. Therefore, at this moment, when they were on the slope, the Wolf Riders' Casting Net skill was also restricted. This inadvertently allowed the scouts to avoid another major risk.
Roddy's seemingly simple tactical command contained a lot of battle wisdom. It was not something that Carter and the others could think of in a short period of time.
At this moment, he took the lead and crossed the last part of the long uphill journey. He then led the team down an extremely long slope. When the slope appeared, the Orc Wolf Riders, who had been suppressed and unable to catch up, finally saw an opportunity. The leader roared and tried to sprint to catch up. However, he found that his own wolf was actually unable to keep up. Even in the process of descending the slope, he was somewhat out of breath and stuck out his tongue …
Therefore, they could only watch as the distance between them and the human scouts widened again. For a moment, they could not help but cry out in frustration.
However, the arrogance and stubbornness in the bones of the Orcs prevented the Wolf Riders from giving up. After a long downhill journey, Roddy had already confirmed the identity of the other party. They were all black Wolf Riders. They should be part of the Orc army of Rohal's Hammer. Their status was similar to Roddy's. However, the Orc Kingdom was a tribal system. Their "chief" was similar to the Duke who was currently in charge of Hollier. They were both people with real power, and the scope of their power was even greater than that of the Duke.
Simple clothes, rusty machetes and unarmoured Wolf Riders. Roddy had already determined that these guys were no more than Level 5. They were the lowest level of the Wolf Riders. However, with the impact of the Wolf Riders, the attack power of these Orcs was at least four to five times that of ordinary Orcs. It would not be easy to finish them off.
Roddy was not surprised at the other party's relentless pursuit. After dealing with the Orcs for so long, he had long understood the temperament of these green-skinned Barbarians. So he immediately decided to lead the Orc Scouts up the slope again.
The advance of the Orc Scouts slowed down a little, and the Wolf Riders immediately closed the gap.
They let out strange cries and excitedly chased after Jiang Yi. However, when they stepped onto the slope and looked up, they suddenly realized that … they seemed to have been controlled by the opponent.
In front, Roddy's team had reached the top of the slope, and immediately took the initiative to turn!
The leader of the Wolf Riders at the bottom of the long slope sensed that something was wrong. Just as he was about to give an order to the Wolf Riders beside him, he saw the human leader suddenly straighten his back and raise an Orc style horn bow in his hand.
In the next moment, before the leader of the Orcs could react, an arrow had already pierced through his sturdy chest!
Because the Wolf Rider was charging forward, the power of the arrow was increased. The huge momentum caused his body to fall backwards, and he lost his balance in an instant, falling straight down the Wolf Rider —
