Arcane Lord

Two of the waves were very similar to what Xia Duo and the others encountered, and both had no intention of fighting. However, the other wave of four orcs, although the overall fighting will was not strong, there was one orc who was particularly ferocious!

It almost fought with Sami and the others with a certain death mentality, and its tenacity also stimulated its companions, causing Sami and the others a lot of trouble.

After aborting the interrogation, Shado immediately conveyed the situation to everyone in the team, especially Dean. The wave of orcs just now made him feel a little drifting.

…

Three days later, Xia Duo and others returned to the military camp from the Green Pearl Forest for the first time to repair. During the three days of frequent killings, all the team members had a formidable murderous aura.

Although Xia Duo looks very embarrassed, his eyes are exceptionally bright and energetic. The so-called actual combat training before is still different from the real battle.

During these three days, Xia Duo realized that the battle was no longer carefully controlled by them, whether it started or ended. The most dangerous time for the group was when they were dealing with a group of orcs, and two more suddenly came.

Even if there are two rogues, Ava and Marvel, standing guard outside, no one can escape when the orcs come.

If Xia Duo hadn't decisively activated the magic scroll and blessed several team members with strength and endurance, there might have been attrition this time.

Thinking of this, Sha Duo couldn't help but look at Yidim behind him. At this moment, Yidim had an orc head hanging on his waist and a piece of rough and crudely made metal armor on his back.

This was one of the trophies of that battle. Even in the human world, not everyone can afford metal armor. The purchase is one thing, and the subsequent maintenance is another.

Judging from the standard equipment of territorial soldiers or leather armor, metal armor is obviously only the choice of a few people.

However, a piece of metal armor was seized from the orc, which showed that the orc's identity was not ordinary, but at this time he had turned into a corpse, and his head was cut off as a trophy.

After coming out of the forest, Sha Duo met Sami and others. They had lost two people in the past three days, but the remaining ones had grown extremely rapidly after going through the test of life and death.

Sami pointed at the armor Yidim was carrying and said, "Xia Duo, is that the orc armor you mentioned before? It looks very fierce!"

"Well, the orcs wearing armor are too strong, and we almost lost our numbers in that battle." Sha Duo didn't mention the armor, but discussed repairing it with Sami.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Sami couldn't help but complain, "What do you think above, only half a day is enough! Our team has lost two people. If there is no time to adjust, taking them out will be just a drag."

"Then don't add new people."

Xia Duo doesn't agree with adding new people midway. It would be fine if they were recruited by adventurers, but if they were an untrained civilian, they would simply die.

Sami was a little silent, seeming to be considering Xia Duo's words.

Soon, the group approached a village.

Seven or eight young people were gathering on the way back from Xia Duo and others, seeming to be arguing about something. When Xia Duo and others passed by, a young man suddenly stopped in front of the group and shouted——

"Sir, I want to join you!"

This move immediately made Xia Duo and others who had just returned from the forest feel like they were facing a powerful enemy. The team members almost subconsciously drew their weapons and aimed at the young man.

"ah!"

The young man seemed to be frightened. He took a few steps back and collapsed to the ground.

"Stay alert! Captain Gibb, please go and see what's going on?"

Chateau stopped the team members from further attacking and asked Gibb to ask for details.

Soon, Gibb came back expressionlessly, "Mage Shado, they are just poor people under the tide of orcs."

"What happened?"

"The people in their village did not go to the town, but chose to stay in the village. Not long ago, an orc ran out of the forest for no apparent reason and wreaked havoc in their village."

Gibb took a deep breath, seeming to suppress his emotions, "Although they finally killed the orc, they were the only ones left in the entire village."

"Then what's the point of them stopping us?"

"They saw that we were all carrying orc heads and wanted to follow us to kill the orcs."

Xia Duo sighed, feeling sympathy for the ordinary people in this world for the first time.

He had been living in the town before, and his contacts were either adventurers or mage apprentices, and he had almost no understanding of ordinary people at the lowest level.

Even if they knew it, it was just a few words from others, but it was still impossible for those young people to join them. The team that had been well-established was not used to be nannies.

"Captain Gibb, take them back to the barracks."

Although [Biquge www.biqugexx.xyz]Xia Duo did not know the specific battle situation on the frontline battlefield, it was certain that he would need to replenish his troops after the war, so it was just a matter of convenience to bring these young people with him.

On the road after that, Sami no longer complained about the short repair time. Everyone was a little silent. Although it was difficult for Xia Duo to fully empathize with the emotions of these Nese people.

But as humans, when faced with orcs, there are still things that hurt others.

…

After returning to the camp, Shado went to the quartermaster to register the trophies, twenty-six orc heads, two wolf fang amulets with weak magical aura, and the metal armor.

The head costs 5 gold coins, the amulet costs 100 gold coins, and the armor costs 200 gold coins.

Half of the 530 gold coins were divided among the twenty team members, and the other half belonged to Xia Duo and Dean. Xia Duo took the majority, taking 180, and Dean took 85.

After getting the money, Xia Duo immediately went to the trading house in the town and bought a 1-level [Summoning Mount] scroll. Because of the war, the price of these escape and life-saving scrolls had more than doubled.

Xia Duo spent nearly 70 gold coins to buy it. It must be said that the war fortune is so good.

Then came the repairs. For three days in a row, everyone was so nervous that they couldn't even sleep well at night. By the third day, Xia Duo felt that his spellcasting state was obviously affected.

This made him dare not use any other spells except [Messaging Technique] to keep in touch with Sami, for fear that it would burn out when he needed to contact support at the critical moment.

Only after returning to the camp did he feel at ease and be able to sleep without worries, which also made him particularly keen on spells to hide in different spaces or summon hidden residences.

…

Just when Xia Duo was sleeping peacefully in the camp, Old Neil was not sleepy at all in Old Neil's hotel. In the evening, he received a message that made him toss and turn——

Xia Duo came back with more than twenty orc heads and even a piece of metal armor. This was not the best among all the apprentices, but it was still at the forefront.

This is not the most important thing. Old Neil learned from secret channels that Sha Duo has been appreciated by many official mages in the Mage Tower, including Master Leonard, the Lord's student.

This news made him very uneasy, even frightened.
