Abel was not too happy about this. He knew the orcs had been fighting with the humans for many years, so how could they not know about this?
Therefore, in the five minutes before the human reinforcements arrived, there was bound to be a fierce battle.
Just the 4 intermediate priests guarding the orc war drum made him realize that something was wrong today. He still didn't know that the orcs' attack was specifically targeted at him.
The sky was dark, and the trembling of the ground was even more intimidating. Since they couldn't see how many orcs there were in the distance, the human team could only wait for the orcs to get closer to know the size of the orcs.
It was like a god was helping them. A gentle breeze blew away the clouds that were blocking the moonlight. The moonlight shined on the ground, and the darkness was swept away.
Although it was still dark, the moonlight was still shining. At least they could see clearly within a few hundred meters.
"Head Knight Eddy, I hope you can let me attack first and disturb the orcs!" Abel didn't want to wait any longer. He couldn't unleash the full speed of his mount wolf king if he stayed here. Also, judging from the battle drum, the orcs already knew the power of his Riphook bow, and they had already made a response.
If he continued to wait here, he would have to fight in close range if his bow couldn't unleash its full power.
Abel was confident that he could protect himself, but he wasn't confident that he could protect his companions at the same time.
"Be careful!" Head Knight Eddy didn't stop Abel. He knew it was very passive to stay here.
"Let's go!" Abel gently tapped his mount wolf king, and it rushed out of the defense circle like a gust of wind.
After the mount wolf king ran for about 500 meters, Abel saw the enemy he was about to fight. It was a team of wolf riders made up of close to 10,000 people. He could also sense at least 20 orc priests among them. At the very front of this team, there was a row of 20 bearmen.
These bearmen were all specialized in defense with giant shields in their hands. Since they specialized in defense, they could almost block the beginner spells of wizards. With the help of a priest, even an intermediate wizard couldn't break through their defense quickly.
"Mount wolf king, it's a mount wolf king!" A head wolf rider captain had the best eyesight. He had already seen Abel's mount wolf king, and he couldn't help but yell.
As the head wolf rider captain yelled, the entire team of wolf riders suddenly set their sights on Abel. 2 teams of 2000 wolf riders each emerged from the team and rushed out from the left and right sides of the team.
Abel could see a large number of skeletons charging towards him as well. Abel could also see a large number of wolf riders charging towards him.
Abel was stunned.. What was going on? Why did these orcs change their target as soon as he appeared? It seemed like they were here for him..
However, he knew that it was better this way. It was impossible for 20 humans to defend against 10,000 Wolf Cavalry soldiers.
If Head Commander Edi could see the power of the orcs during the day, he would not have let his team stay in place and wait for reinforcements. The best way to deal with this situation was to retreat back to Miracle City.
Moonlight had its advantages, but it also had its disadvantages. The Cyan Falcon, which had not appeared since night fell, appeared on top of Abel's head again.
Abel had no choice but to retreat. He didn't want to lead these orcs back to his team, so he changed his direction a little.
Although he was retreating, the Riphook in his hand did not stop. Even his posture was as if he was riding on the mount wolf king, allowing it to run backward while his arrows were raining down arrows.
He didn't even need to aim. There was a black mass of wolf riders behind him. The skeletons were even faster than the wolf riders. Although these skeletons could not replenish their death qi like the death zone in front of the Miracle City, they were still in peak condition.
With the support of the death qi, the skeletons were quickly approaching Abel.
Abel knew these skeletons were not normal skeletons. There might be intermediate priest skeletons among them.
Therefore, he aimed his first batch of arrows at the skeletons that were running the fastest. In 3 seconds, more than 60 lightning arrows were shot out. It was especially eye-catching under the moonlight.
These 100 skeletons were at least Knight Commanders. With the support of the death qi, their defense was greatly increased. Since their attacks were enhanced by the death qi, these skeletons were almost as powerful as a Head Knight Commander.
Although Abel's arrows hit the skeletons, the result was not as good as he expected.
The spell resistance of the skeletons made the paralysis effect of the lightning attack last for a very short time. The skeletons just lost their balance and fell to the ground. However, they were able to get up immediately and rushed towards Abel as if nothing had happened.
The bones of the skeletons were broken by the arrows. If it was a normal orc, it would be fatal. However, for skeletons, it was not a big deal.
Abel also saw a skeleton's leg being broken by an arrow. However, the skeleton was able to run with both hands and one leg like an animal. Its speed was not affected at all.
"Damn it!" Abel cursed. These skeletons were summoned by intermediate priests. They were much stronger than beginner priests.
He felt like if he wanted to kill these skeletons, he would have to destroy their soul fire. However, these skeletons were very experienced. They did not give him any chance to attack their heads.
Of course, if he could use his dynamic vision and data analysis skills, he could do some damage to the skeletons.
However, it was nighttime. Even with his enhanced vision, he could not hit the skeletons with 100% accuracy like he could in the daytime.
But the good thing was that the mount wolf king was fast enough, and he had already led the wolf cavalry away from the direction they were heading.
"You can't escape!" An orc shaman in a gray hooded robe yelled.
This priest was different from the other priests. He was sitting on a beast shaped skeleton. This beast shaped skeleton was extremely fast. It was at the front of the chase with a few wolf captains.
The three bone shields danced around him. His body was wrapped in clay, and the gray robe on his body was stretched very wide. It made his body look very sturdy, and only his eyes, nose, and mouth were left.
What responded to him was three arrows. These three arrows accurately hit him. The arrows were blocked by the bone shield, but they did not block the electric light. However, the electric light hit the outer shell of the earth and did not cause any effect.
Abel rarely fought with powerful orc priests. He realized that if he continued to use normal methods, he would not be able to hurt them.
However, if he exposed his power, would his identity be exposed?
The only reason these orcs were chasing him was probably because of his mount wolf king and the Kong Kong spirit portal bag. That was why the orcs sent out these 10,000 orcs to kill him.
If the orcs knew he was Abel, knew he had a bigger Kong Kong spirit portal bag, knew he was the murderer who killed an important member of the wolf clan, and knew he was the only human blacksmith grandmaster, what kind of attack would be waiting for him?
Thinking up to this point, he chose the best way. He would retreat and attack at the same time. He would kill as many orcs as he could. He would no longer chase after the powerful orcs.
He shifted his target to the normal wolf riders, and this change of target immediately increased his chances of success.
In every second of the chase, 20 wolf riders would fall to the ground. No matter if they were dead or alive, they would be trampled into meat paste by the next wolf rider.
Although the results were not small, it did not have much effect on the tens of thousands of wolf riders. The wolf riders were constantly suppressing his movement space from three directions. Even if the mount wolf king had the advantage of speed, under the encirclement of a large number of wolf riders, it could only keep changing directions to maintain its advantage.
