After Abel came out of the blacksmith shop, he went straight to Knight Marshall's study.
The reason Abel came here was to check the map and see where he could safely get rid of the super exploding big sword in Hradik's cube.
This was how Abel described the failed big sword. Thinking about the power that even the iron of a hundred skills could not withstand, this super exploding big sword was really a headache. If it wanted to die together, he believed that even a bunch of elite Knights together would not be able to withstand the power of this thing. He didn't know how strong the defense of the Knight captain's combat qi armor was, and how long it could last under the attack of this big sword.
Abel's mind was filled with random thoughts, and he kept looking on the map. Finally, he saw a place called Ansa Valley, which was a day's ride from the castle. On the map, there was a cliff that could destroy this super exploding big sword.
After resting for 2 days, when his meridian had fully recovered, Abel told the Knight Marshall that he was going to leave the castle to do something. The Knight Marshall didn't have to worry about Abel's safety since he was equipped with Harry's bow. As long as he didn't encounter any intermediate professions, his life would not be in danger.
On top of that, Abel was already a Blacksmith Master, so he had the right to freely use his own time. In the past 2 days, there had been no news of an attack from the orcs, so the Knight Marshall didn't stop Abel. Instead, he asked him to be careful.
This time, Abel took 2 war horses with him. One of the war horses was prepared with high quality soybeans and oats, and the other war horse was on his own.
While Abel was riding out of the castle, in the direction of Ansa Valley where Abel was going, an ambush was unfolding in the Neuilly Valley.
The Knight of Saroyan was a senior knight and also a lord. For many years, he had been following Viscount Dickens, the lord of the city. He commanded a thousand-man elite brigade. Although his status was honorable, due to the lack of wars in recent years, it was difficult to obtain military merits. He was only a lord without a fief. He yearned for a fief and for the inheritance of his title. He had always been eager to participate in wars to obtain enough military merits.
However, Harvest City was located in the heart of the human world. It was a very safe location. Other than some small scale battles, it had always been a peaceful place.
A few days ago, the Saloyan Knight received an order from Viscount Dickens, the mayor of the city, to lead a thousand elite troops to ambush the orcs in the Neuilly Valley. The Saloyan Knight was very excited as soon as he received the order. With so many soldiers, and 2 elite knights, and 30 other knights to ambush with him, there should be a lot of enemies this time.
Elite Knight Bernal and Elite Knight Hopper were both born in a fallen noble family. By the time their family's title was passed down, they could no longer inherit it due to demotion. The glory of their ancestor's shield had dimmed. Although they had the talent to become Knights, they had no title, so they could only become the family Knights of Viscount Dickens.
Although family Knights were treated very well, they could not inherit it. Therefore, the 2 elite Knights had been looking for a chance to restore the glory of their ancestor's shield.
When the 3 elite Knights met, they all knew their chance to fight for glory had come. 30 Knights, 1000 elite soldiers. Everyone had a fire in their hearts. When they set out, they were full of fighting spirit. Everyone was looking forward to the battle with the orcs.
It had been 3 days since the troops arrived at the Neuilly Valley. All the scouts had been sent out to investigate. Everything was ready. They were just waiting for the orcs to show up.
The Saloyan Knight sat on a rock and looked down at the map of the Neuilly Valley. It was surrounded by mountains on 3 sides. 2 of them were very steep and difficult to climb. There were also a lot of thorns. These 2 sides were dead ends. Currently, the Saloyan Knight's troops were hiding at the top of the last side of the mountain. This side of the mountain was very flat.
"Report!" A scout jumped down from his horse and saluted loudly.
The Saloyan Knight turned his head and looked at the scout who was sweating profusely. He asked, "What did you find?"
"A small group of orcs appeared in the south. They are moving towards the valley. They are expected to arrive in 20 minutes."
"Continue to investigate." The Saloyan Knight waved his hand and said. He then looked at his deputy and ordered, "Let everyone use the masking powder."
The masking powder was a kind of powder developed by humans and orcs. It was used to cover their own smell. The orcs had a very sensitive sense of smell. The smell of humans in the air was like a navigation mark in the sea. In the countless years of war, humans had suffered heavy losses because of the orcs' sense of smell. After the painful experience, humans developed the masking powder. Since then, the masking powder had become a strategic resource for the army.
The army began to move in an orderly manner. No one said a word. They silently sprinkled the powder on their bodies and even their horses.
"Report!" Another scout discovered the situation and reported, "A small group of orcs has been found in the east. They will arrive in 25 minutes."
"Report! A small group of orcs has been found in the north. They will arrive in 20 minutes. "
The scouts kept coming back to report. The Saloyan Knight had a smile on his face. Finally, he did not wait for 3 days in vain. He looked back at the Knight Bonnar and the Knight Hopper and said with a smile, "They are finally here. The information from the Mayor is very accurate."
"Indeed. He even knew where the orcs were gathering." The Knight Bonnar replied with a smile on his face. His eyes were filled with the desire for war glory.
At this time, a small group of orcs had appeared in Taniguchi. It was a group of wolf riders. When they arrived in Taniguchi, a wolf rider rushed into the valley. After he made sure it was safe, he waved his hand to the other wolf riders, and the team entered the valley.
At this moment, everyone in the hidden army held their breaths. They didn't want to frighten the wolf riders and affect their ambush plan. This was all war glory. If an orc entered the valley, it would be another war glory.
Time slowly passed, and the number of Beastmen in the valley gradually increased. Small groups of Beastmen entered the valley, and the Beastmen who thought they were safe had already made bonfires and started eating barbecued meat. They were loudly discussing their respective missions and exchanging the joy of their successful robberies. Some Beastmen took out the wine they had robbed and roasted meat. For a moment, the valley became a sea of joy.
When there were more than 160 orcs in the valley, there were no more small groups of orcs coming. At this time, the orcs seemed to have realized that everyone had gathered. They all stopped talking. They realized that there were fewer orcs than before. 500 orcs were sent to this area. In the past, there would be at least 200 orcs coming back. This time, there were only 160 orcs, which was the lowest number in history.
Sadness began to spread. Many Beastmen realized that their friends and brothers had not returned. The previously lively valley suddenly quieted down. However, Beastmen were still a fighting race. The sadness only lasted for a short while. Then, the Beastmen began to form their own teams. It was almost time for the flying beasts to bring them home.
The Saloyan Knight observed the situation in the valley. According to the information given by the city lord, this was the gathering point of the orcs. Now it seemed that they had all gathered. He turned to his assistant and said, "Go and inform Taniguchi's squadron. Seal Taniguchi."
"Yes, sir." The assistant took out a piece of parchment paper and wrote the order. He stamped it with the official seal of the brigade and sealed the letter with a piece of wax. Then, he arranged for the messenger to send the order to Taniguchi.
When the messenger had left for more than 4 minutes, a flock of giant birds flew in the sky. There were more than 20 of them.
When the Saloyan Knight saw the birds in the sky, he couldn't help but exclaim softly, "Sky sparrows? This is the orcs' return point? "
Then the Saloyan Knight turned to his assistant and asked, "Is there still time to get the order back?"
The assistant smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It should have started by now."
"If we can keep these sky sparrows, even if only one of them is left, it will be a great achievement." The Saloyan Knight looked at the sky sparrows in the sky with envy. If he knew that these strategic flying beasts of the Orc Empire would come here, even if all the orcs below ran away, as long as one of them was left, it would be a great achievement.
