Arcane Lord

He didn't know the reason why Xia Duo escaped from his shop in the first place, not to mention that he had previously instigated the foreign mage named Kenny to attack Xia Duo.

Although the attack failed, it made Old Neil even more concerned. He has been carefully investigating Xia Duo's whereabouts these days.

But Xia Duo stayed in the military camp as soon as he returned to the town. Even when he went out, he always took four or five soldiers with him. This directly stopped him from thinking of attacking and killing in the town.

But when he thought of Xia Duo's possible revenge, Old Neil felt chills all over and couldn't sleep.

The next day, Old Neil, who looked tired, received news again - Sha Duo was out of town. This gave him an idea, and he subconsciously looked at the room of the foreign mage.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't go through. After all, the cost of hiring a mage was not as high as usual, and he was still weighing it.

…

On the other side, Sha Duo once again led a team out to clean up the remnants of the orcs. On the way to the Green Pearl Forest, Gibb told Sha Duo about the battle situation on the front line that he had learned about.

The orcs' lair was destroyed, and a large number of young men died on the frontal battlefield. After this battle, the orcs were no longer a serious problem for the Saville Territory.

As for the loss of territory, Gibb did not say much, but Xia Duo could probably guess that it was nothing more than killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, or even killing eight hundred enemies and losing one thousand.

There might be some friends of Gibb's among them, so Xia Duo didn't ask any more questions, but asked about the situation of other apprentices leading the team.

After learning that others had also gained something, Xia Duo made some calculations in his mind and became a little more confident about whether he could survive this orc wave safely.

…

As soon as they approached the forest, everyone immediately entered a state of alert. Perhaps they were recovering from their previous defeat. Most of the orcs they encountered that day were full of violent killing intent.

As long as you encounter them, you have to come up and fight for your life. They rarely retreat or escape. Compared with the past few days, the frequency of encountering orcs has increased significantly.

On the first day they came out, Xia Duo's team encountered more than a dozen orcs, which made their cleaning work extremely difficult. As for Sami's side, it was about the same, only a few less than Xia Duo's side.

However, Sami's team had not replenished the reduced number of players during previous renovations, so it was impossible to say which side was more difficult.

In the evening, Sha Duo and Sami informed each other of their respective locations as usual, and then began to set up a temporary camp, with only a bonfire and a simple fence around the perimeter.

Shado and Dean occupied the positions closest to the bonfire, while the other team members were in a circle around the outside, staying close to each other to keep warm.

After eating something casually and arranging the vigil, Sha Duo went to bed early. In addition to maintaining contact with Sami during the day, he also used spells to assist attacks when encountering orcs.

After all, the scrolls distributed above are very limited, so they should be reserved for truly critical situations.

In the wild, even though there were more than twenty companions around him, Xia Duo still slept very lightly. After an unknown amount of time, he heard a voice in a daze, "Alert, an orc is coming!"

Xia Duo suddenly became excited, immediately stood up, kicked Dean who was still sleeping, and shouted: "Get up! Dean!"

The other team members didn't even react as quickly as Xia Duo, but they could be considered to have responded in time. They took out their weapons and stood on guard around them.

"Master Sha Duo, there are six orcs in total. They were probably attracted by the fire." Ava appeared out of nowhere and reported to Sha Duo the number of incoming orcs.

"Keep investigating."

There are only six orcs, which is still within the team's ability to deal with it, but if there are one, there must be two, and there is no telling how many more orcs will be attracted!

Sha Duo immediately cast [Light Technique], and Dean, who woke up, also cast [Light Technique] under Sha Duo's command. The two light balls looked inconspicuous against the backdrop of the bonfire.

But then, Xia Duo ordered people to extinguish the bonfire, and then began to set up temporary positions under the light of the light ball, preparing to engage the enemy. The brightness of the light technique was limited, and because it was made of positive energy, it was actually in the dark night The propagation distance is also quite limited.

Soon, just as they were getting ready to engage the enemy, Sha Duo heard the roar of the orcs, getting closer and closer.

"Everyone prepare!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a muffled thud. An orc running at the front tripped over the trap, and before he could get up, he was knocked to the ground by his companion behind him.

The shield-wielding team members on Xia Duo's side immediately caught up, and at the same time multiple spears were thrust out from the gaps in the shield. In just one attack, the incoming orcs were directly reduced by two.

But the other orcs seemed to have fallen into madness. Regardless of whether they were attacked, they would hit the humans with their stone axes. Even if they hit the shields, they would not change.

This kind of enemy is what Sha Duo likes very much. Apart from those orcs who have no intention of fighting, this kind of completely crazy ones are the easiest to deal with.

What is really more troublesome is the kind that is both crazy and yet maintains a certain degree of rationality. It looks like a warrior full of fighting spirit. He knows how to attack and defend, and even knows how to retreat when he is losing.

Hatred of humanity is the root of their madness, as well as the root of their rationality.

Such enemies are the most terrifying.

But right now, the remaining four crazy orcs are quite simple, and they are all killed in just the second round of attacks.

call--

Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his people to quickly clean up the battlefield and move the temporary camp.

After working until early in the morning, Xia Duo fell asleep in the new camp. Just after dawn, he was woken up again. This lack of sleep made Xia Duo very uncomfortable.

Not to mention the state of casting, even if he didn't consider casting, he felt that he wouldn't be able to hold on for a few days if this continued.

"Captain Gibb, try to clear as much distance as possible today. We will leave the forest to rest at night."

"good!"

Others didn't have any objections to this, and they were reluctant to spend the night in the forest, especially when there were orcs who would rather not sleep than disturb them at night. This was unbearable.

After that, Sha Duo contacted Sami again and explained his temporarily changed advancement plan. Although Sami did not meet the orcs last night, he agreed to change the plan.

So both sides accelerated the cleaning speed at the same time, of course, more accurately, the traveling speed. Most of the cleaning task was spent on walking!

As soon as dusk arrived, Xia Duo ordered to return to a small village closest to the Green Pearl Forest. The people in this village had already fled for their lives. Xia Duo randomly selected a spacious private house as a temporary camp. .

In this way, Xia Duo took people into the forest to clean up the orcs during the day and returned to the village to rest at night. Although the efficiency was low, the safety was greatly improved.
