"We're almost there …"
Walking slowly in the wilderness, Adil muttered to himself as he looked at the scenery in the distance.
At this moment, after half a month of marching, the group had traveled a long distance.
In front of them was a mountain range that stretched for tens of miles. Within the mountain range, it was densely covered with vegetation and cold air. There seemed to be all kinds of creatures hidden within.
"According to the information that Mokra gave us, the orc tribe should be in front of us."
A rough voice sounded from behind, and a well-built acolyte rode over from behind Adil. It was the white-bearded Sillar.
At this moment, he was wearing a silver-white armor and holding the reins of a horse. He did not look like an acolyte but more like a Knight.
"Speaking of which, are you really not going to wear a suit of armor like me?"
Looking at Adil, Sillar said loudly, "The battlefield is different from normal times. Although we have spells, it's always good to have more protection."
At this point, he patted the armor on his chest with his right hand, making a crisp sound. "The armor I made is completely made of silver iron. Not only does it have a stronger defense than other armors, but it also doesn't affect the casting of spells."
"If you want it, Adil, on account of our friendship, a set of armor will only cost you five magic crystals!"
"Forget it …" Glancing at Sillar, Adil was a little speechless, "Let's think about what spells we should construct later. If we make a mistake during the construction, we'll be in trouble."
"Haha, don't be nervous." Looking at Adil's expression, Sillar laughed out loud, "I have experience in this kind of thing. You just have to experience it a few more times."
While they were talking, Aishael and the others also followed behind them.
As they were moving with the army, they were all riding horses this time. However, as level 2 acolytes, their bodies were not inferior to ordinary Knights. Furthermore, as native Komodo people, their equestrian skills were not bad. Even though they had been traveling in the wilderness for half a month, they did not look tired at all.
At this moment, as the troops moved forward, the thousand-strong army had already split into several groups and were constantly wandering around.
"Milords." A voice came from the front. It was a knight who was riding a horse towards where Adil and the others were.
"Lord Kosis wants you to go over!" he shouted as he looked at Adil and the others. He urged his horse to go back in the direction they came from.
Silently exchanging glances, Adil and the others walked forward.
When they reached the front, they walked into a tent and saw Kocsis and Mokra inside.
"You're here."
Looking at Adil and the others, Mokra nodded. "We are about to reach our destination. Please get ready."
"This time, our target is a medium-sized tribe. There are about three thousand orcs in it."
Looking at the people in front of him, Kosis said, "My Knights are currently leading people to fight with this tribe. In a while, we will arrive. When that time comes, I hope that you will act and get rid of the bloodthirsty orcs in this tribe."
Hearing his words, Adil and the others nodded, indicating that they had no objections.
The group rested for a while before continuing on their way.
After coming to the wilderness, they saw that there were clearly more beasts in the surroundings. Occasionally, there would be some scattered orcs hiding in the surroundings, but after seeing their massive army, they were so frightened that they ran far away.
Whoosh!
The sound of arrows tearing through the air could be heard.
Kosis's expression was calm as he looked at the orc in the distance who had been shot in the chest by an arrow. His gaze did not change in the slightest.
After some time, scattered shouts could be heard in front of them. Some warriors were fighting with the wandering orcs, and they seemed to be evenly matched.
After receiving Kosis's reinforcements, the battle immediately tilted in the humans' favor.
After coming here, Adil looked around.
The orcs here were not quite the same as those he had seen before. Although they were all tall and big, their fur was denser and more effective at keeping warm.
After coming here, Kosis personally led his people and charged forward.
"Everyone, it's time for us to go," Mokra said as he walked in front of everyone.
The Sorcerer Apprentices nodded and rode their horses forward slowly.
In front of them, there were some bloodthirsty orcs scattered everywhere. Their three-meter-tall bodies were very conspicuous even among the orcs.
According to the plan, the Sorcerer Apprentices charged towards the bloodthirsty orcs.
"Bloodthirsty orcs … how nostalgic."
Looking at the tall figures in the distance that were very similar to the ones in his memories, Adil could not help but sigh.
When he had first come to this world, he had fought with orcs on the battlefield and even broken through to become a Knight.
However, even though he was now a peak Great Knight, he did not have any intention of going up and fighting.
He gently stretched out his hand and took out a red longbow from the back of his horse, slowly drawing the bowstring.
This was something he had bought in the academy from a level 3 acolyte. Although it was not a magic artifact, it had been strengthened by Magi and could withstand Adil's current strength. In the end, Adil had bought it for a magic crystal.
[Calculate wind resistance … Calculate angle deviation …] In his mind, the A.I. Chip's robotic voice continuously sounded, using its powerful calculations to help Adil adjust the angle of the bow.
With a light hum, the arrow left the longbow and shot towards the tall orc tens of metres away.
With Adil's physical strength, the destructive power of a full-powered arrow would be comparable to that of a level 2 Acolyte's magic skill, and he did not need to use any magic skills to strengthen it.
The arrow quickly turned into a black dot in his vision and shot into the distance.
Tens of metres away, a three-meter-tall bloodthirsty orc with greyish-red skin roared and swung its huge sword.
* Roar! *
An extreme pain came from his chest. The Bloodthirsty Beastman roared as he looked at his chest in disbelief. An arrow had pierced through it.
But even so, with the vitality of the bloodthirsty orc, it did not die. It did not even seem to be seriously injured. Instead, it roared and rushed in the direction the arrow had come from.
It quickly found its target. Tens of metres away, Adil was wearing a black robe and sitting on the back of a horse. He held a scarlet longbow in his hand, looking extremely conspicuous.
"An arrow without magic enchantment is indeed not powerful enough."
Seeing the tall orc rushing towards him, Adil shook his head and continued to draw the bow in his hand.
[Calculate wind resistance …] The A.I. Chip's robotic voice sounded in his mind.
An arrow quickly pierced through the air and accurately hit the heart of the bloodthirsty orc.
Because of the close distance, the arrow directly pierced through the orc's body.
The heart ruptured, and the body of the bloodthirsty orc twitched before falling to the ground with a loud bang.
After dealing with the orc in front of him, Adil looked at the other areas.
In the distance, Sillar was wearing silver armor and fighting the bloodthirsty orc like a knight. He didn't look like a Magus at all, but rather like a barbarian knight.
Aishaa relied on her unique blood magic to quickly deal with the orc in front of her.
Seeing this, Adil no longer had any interest in continuing to watch.
This orc tribe was almost finished.
The probability of a bloodthirsty orc appearing was very low. Usually, there would only be one bloodthirsty orc among several hundred orc children.
According to Kose's introduction, this orc tribe only had three thousand people. It would be good if there were a few bloodthirsty orcs.
Once these few bloodthirsty orcs were dealt with by the apprentices, the remaining ordinary orcs would definitely not be Kose's match and would quickly be defeated.
After an unknown amount of time, dusk approached, and the battle was finally over.
The orcs of this tribe had been completely defeated. Apart from those who had been killed on the battlefield, the rest had all fled deeper into the forest.
In the surroundings, the warriors began to clean up the battlefield. From time to time, they would capture some orcs and tie them up with special ropes.
They were taking in captives. For the backward Ancient Armor City, these orc captives were their biggest source of income. Because they were strong and cheap, many slave merchants would come to buy them every year.
After the road ahead was cleared, Adil and the others walked to the front. The orc tribe could be seen in the distance.
Compared to human villages, these orc tribes were more backward, but they still had a certain level of civilization. The orcs did not live in cold and damp caves, but in extremely simple houses.
Like humans, orcs were also a race with intelligence. Although they were generally less intelligent, they did indeed have their own civilization.
Walking into this extremely simple village, the apprentices could not help but frown at the stench that assaulted their noses.
The environment here was quite terrible. After all, in this world, even human cities were a mess. Some cities were even filled with feces. Naturally, the places where orcs lived were even worse.
As they walked in, they began to hear some faint sounds.
These were the cries of orc infants and the roars of old orcs.
"What are they doing?"
Adil asked with a frown as he listened to the sounds around him and looked at the old orcs who were tied up and roaring.
"Get rid of these useless individuals."
Mokra, who was dressed in a black robe, walked over from behind.
"Ordinary orc slaves are very popular with slave merchants because they are strong and easy to feed. However, these infants and old orcs are different."
He looked at Adil and slowly explained to him, "Beastmen are similar to humans. It takes at least ten years for a newborn child to grow into a strong and healthy worker. The old orcs and those who are disabled won't be able to live for long. They are not worth wasting food on. "
