Black Dragon Code

The fire lasted for a whole night. Caesar considered it again and again, but in the end he did not choose to take action, but quietly crawled in the nest and waited for news.

He had reason to suspect that those scouts were coming for him.

The fighting power of the Stone Crow Clan is not secret at all. Whether it is the Archmage Sifu or a hundred warriors, they have all been exposed to outsiders.

If the other party really wanted to swallow the tribe, there was no need to send scouts to investigate, but to send soldiers to quietly surround the area, and then attack as quickly as possible.

Then, there was only one reason why the opponent sent scouts, that is, they guessed that there were other people behind the Shiya Clan to support them, and they wanted to see the details before making a full-fledged attack.

"It's that guy."

Caesar suddenly thought of the unusual caravan leader, that young man—Roy Brando.

Among the human beings, only he has had in-depth contact with the Stone Crow Clan, so it is possible to have such doubts.

Therefore, in this case, in order to avoid being discovered by the opponent's "wizard's eye" and other survey spells, Caesar still chose to stand still this night.

Sometimes, the unknown is more terrifying than a sharp sword. Before knowing the depth of the Stone Crow Clan, it is unlikely that Roy will attack directly.

And Caesar just happened to be able to take advantage of this and erode Roy's vitality step by step.

At dawn, when the orcs dragged their tired bodies and gathered together, he discovered that many of the soldiers had wounds on their bodies, and some were even more serious.

"A total of one hundred and forty-four humans were killed."

Gal bared his teeth and said, his right cheek was so red and swollen, as if he had been hit hard with a hammer: "Eighty of them are wearing hand crossbows and using the standard weapons you mentioned."

"These guys are better than those adventurers. When we attacked unexpectedly, they were able to hold their ground and form an effective counterattack. Twelve of our brothers were caught fire and died." Speaking of the latter, Gal's voice slightly Visibly choked.

Such a battle loss ratio, in fact, the results of the battle are quite fruitful, but after all, those who died were fellow tribesmen who lived together day and night, and the orcs were inevitably depressed.

"Everyone go back to their own dens, they should sleep and heal their wounds."

Caesar gave an order to the orc warriors. He did not know when he had taken over the initiative very smoothly. After calming the warriors back, the black dragon turned to the old wizard again: "If I guessed right, the woman of the tribe They are not as weak as humans, and they can also take up weapons when necessary."

"Yes."

The old wizard responded. His main purpose last night was to use spells to monitor the edge of the entire territory to prevent fish that slipped through the net. With such a heavy workload overnight, even as an archmage, he couldn't support it. He described it as exhausted and haggard: "...It's just that it's hard for them to have the fighting power of men."

The words were slightly concealed, mainly because Sif had hidden worries, worrying that Caesar would send women to perform dangerous missions.

After all, in the battle last night, even the elite fighters suffered casualties. If it was a female orc with a weaker combat power, this number would probably be multiplied several times.

"rest assured."

Caesar heard Sif's subtext, and spoke calmly: "Women don't need to fight yet, let them take charge of the scouting mission. If you encounter the enemy, give priority to protecting your own safety and try to avoid it."

In the situation where the two sides do not know each other's depth, the confrontation of intelligence and investigation has become a very important part. If Roy can give priority to knowing the existence and strength of Caesar, he can quickly judge the situation and launch an attack.

On the contrary, if Caesar was the first to discover the camp and commander of the human army, he could also formulate a beheading plan to kill the enemy in one blow.

War is no child's play,

It is the first time for Heilong to encounter this kind of situation, and he has no experience. He can only apply his knowledge to practical operations as much as possible, supplemented by extreme caution, be careful, and strive to do what he can do. to the best.

...

There is a soft sound in the forest, lingering in the ears.

The stream at the bottom of the valley runs, meandering through the stone riverbed, and the sunlight ripples on the water surface. Under the tree, the war horse neighed softly, and stretched out its hooves to scrape the solid soil covered with dead leaves. The soldiers lowered their voices and made depressing jokes.

From time to time, Roy heard the faint sound of the collision of spears and the sliding of chain mail. This time, he led a full thousand soldiers this time, and he has just passed through the Mostel Grand Canyon.

However, his complexion was not very good, because the investigators sent before had no news at all. Roy had a hunch in his heart that those soldiers had died in the wilderness, were discovered by the other party, and then they were all swallowed up in one go.

With the passage of time, the facts have gradually confirmed this speculation.

"interesting."

Roy played with the family crest in his hand. As a member of the Brando family, he was so worried about the death of eighty soldiers. What really shocked him was: the decisiveness and cruelty shown by the opponent in this confrontation.

He once ordered that the soldiers who went to investigate should try to avoid conflicts with the Stone Crow clan, and even retreat back if necessary. Their task was to check whether there were any abnormal creatures coming or going out of the orc tribe.

Those stupid orcs are absolutely unable to realize the danger without using weapons.

There is only one reason why the Stone Crow Clan will take the first step and brutally kill everyone - that is, there is another person or a highly intelligent creature among them, he (it) controls the Stone Crow Clan, and then only by their own After analyzing and guessing, it is necessary to strike fiercely and decisively, to kill possible threats in the cradle, and at the same time demonstrate its power to potential enemies.

Roy had imagined the existence of that creature more than once, but sometimes he wondered if he was fighting wits with the air, but by now, everything has been resolved.

That creature must exist.

"Interesting guy, what are you? Human? Fairy? Strange? Or...a dragon?"

Roy laughed. The other party was very smart, and wiped out all his investigators in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive, so he knew nothing about him.

Next, if he continued to send people to test him, he would happen to be in the arms of that guy, and he would be eaten away by that guy step by step to weaken his own strength.

but--

Roy narrowed his eyes. What the other party didn't know was that this was exactly his guilty conscience. If he was really that kind of fearless and powerful existence, he would not care about the scouts he sent at all, and would only let the human soldiers go. Wandering around the Stone Crow Clan, wait until their main force appears, and then bare their fangs and eat them all in one go.

"That guy will definitely not be too strong to be unacceptable."

After reaching this conclusion, Roy acted resolutely and immediately began to issue orders: "Catus!"

"exist!"

The confidant knight who had shown his face before took two steps forward.

"You take ten people, change to fast horses, go to the wolf man clan and the kobold clan, order them to prepare for battle, and wait for news in the third forest area of ​​Mangye."

"yes!"

The knight stroked his chest to listen to the order, clamped his horse's belly, and ordered ten people to walk with him.

"Anyone else is not allowed to leave the army, rest on the spot, and set off again in half an hour." Roy took a sip of water and got off his horse: "At dawn two days later, we must arrive in Mangye."
