The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 610 The beginning of the evil plot
The wolf rider captain Leilaf is a wolf warrior who has reached the end of his wolf rider system.
But if he has the opportunity to get a wolf or a frost wolf, he can have the opportunity to transfer to a wolf rider or even a frost wolf rider.
Therefore, Leilaf especially cherishes this opportunity given by Kenro Hag.
The reason why Kenro Hag did not use a higher-level frost warrior or wolf warrior is because these two types of knights are more obvious.
These two types of wolves have stronger load-bearing capacity. Not only are they larger, they can also carry stronger orcs.
Even ordinary wolf riders are a circle larger than wolf warriors.
In addition, the wolf is pitch black, and the frost wolf is snow-white. Only the wolf is no different from the ordinary prairie gray wolf except that it is huge and has stronger combat power.
The wolf is a large prairie wolf, and the wolf rider generally chooses the shortest and lightest orcs.
As long as they crouched low on the grassland, they would not be easily discovered by scouts in the sky.
Among flying creatures, eagles and dragons have the best vision and can see the target they want to see clearly at a distance of thousands of meters.
In addition, neither griffins nor angels can achieve such an exaggerated effect.
And neither the orcs' own intelligence nor the intelligence provided by Aini found that Xu Lai had dragon eagles under his command, but he did have a top-level holy dragon.
But that holy dragon was not yet an adult, and Xu Lai usually brought it with him. When Kenlo Hag encountered Xu Lai's cavalry, he also confirmed the existence of this holy dragon.
Therefore, Xu Lai's air reconnaissance force should only be angels and griffins.
The orcs were not clear about the actual situation of Xu Lai's angel troops and griffin troops. They only knew that Xu Lai had a group of high-level angels and not too many griffins.
On the premise that his side had a large number of air forces, even if Xu Lai had some air forces, most of his attention would definitely be on his own air forces.
But they didn't know that Xu Lai didn't have the kind of naturally grown and tamed griffins under his command, so even if he had captured them, the tamer's helmet that could communicate with wild beasts would be useless.
From beginning to end, only Elvy could complete the aerial reconnaissance, and she had no time to do anything else besides watching the flying legion.
The orcs' caution didn't work, because Xu Lai didn't need to monitor the other party from the air at all.
This secret spot was originally provided by Xu Lai to the orcs, and there were extremely hidden reconnaissance eyes hidden everywhere.
It can be said that as soon as Leilaf appeared in this hidden hiding cave, Xu Lai discovered them and kept watching silently.
In the cave, in order not to reveal the flaws, Xu Lai also deliberately asked Aini to use magic communication to send his so-called own people from another castle to garrison.
The people left behind in the castle were Aini's confidants, and naturally obeyed Aini's orders.
Moreover, he only knew that Aini was rescued on the night he was captured, and was currently hiding in other manors outside the city. He had no idea that Aini had not been freed at all.
They also had no idea of Aini and Xu Lai's plan. They only thought that Aini was hiding outside to wait for the orcs to kill Xu Lai and ensure safety.
Therefore, when Aini ordered them to send people to garrison the food storage points prepared for the orcs, no one questioned it.
When Leilaf carefully entered the hiding cave, he was immediately controlled by Aini's people.
Although Leilaf was also a level 6 orc, his size was slightly worse than these elites, and Leilaf had no guards, and he was good at cavalry warfare.
Being outnumbered, even if he was prepared, he was still captured as expected.
However, after taking Leilaf down, the other party did not kill him, which also prevented Leilaf from immediately warning Kenlo Hag.
"Captain, it's an orc!"
The hiding cave chosen by Xu Lai was very wide, and was originally used by Bello himself.
It's just that this place is too remote, and most importantly, it's close to the grassland in the west. Usually, there are very few caravans coming and going, and there is no money, so it is directly abandoned.
There are also outdoor buildings like hiding caves, so when Leilaf found this hiding cave according to the mysterious coordinates, he was full of joy.
This is also the main reason why he didn't fight hard after entering the cave. He guessed that the other party should be the human earl's men.
Sure enough, after the other party discovered his identity, they immediately withdrew their swords.
"Sorry, we are the guards stationed here by Earl Aini. This orc warrior, where are you from?"
Leilaf snorted coldly and looked around.
The whole hiding cave is very large, with only a total of more than 20 people in it. Except for the few people around him, the rest of them were holding torches and hiding in various corners that were not easy to attack.
Kenlo Hag chose Leilaf to come here, except that the wolf warriors could be covered by grassland weeds after they lowered their bodies.
Also because Leilaf is one of the few orcs with magic talent.
Although Leilaf's magic talent is not high, it is extremely rare among the orcs, especially the wolf riders who are good at physical combat.
With magic talent, even if the magic power is not strong, after equipping one or two pieces of equipment that increase the mana limit, it is enough to use magic signal stones and space equipment.
These two things cannot be activated without magic power.
Therefore, Lailaf can sense the magic fluctuations in this hiding hole, and there should be a magic trap set up.
Moreover, the trap was laid out so superficially that even an orc like him, who was not a magician, could detect it.
In addition to magic traps, as an orc, Lailaf's nose is also very sensitive, and he can easily smell the fishy stench in the cave, as well as the pungent smell of fire oil.
If a large army of orcs swarmed in and were blocked at the entrance, spells and flames would instantly devour them.
When he thought of this, Lailaf immediately became vigilant again and said:
"I am Lylav, captain of the Wolf Cavalry under Grand Marshal Kenlo Haggar. You said that you are a guard posted by Count Ani. What proof do you have?"
"I was Count Ani's bodyguard.
Our count told me that he is his chief mage advisor, and Mage Palame is still with you.
You can ask Master Parame to confirm my identity. "
Lailaf did not refuse, he understood the meaning of Kenlo Hager asking him to come.
The communication was quickly connected, and it was a very high-level video communication. The maintenance cost per second was extremely high.
Parame could not ask too many questions during the communication. He only hurriedly ended the communication after identifying the portrait, seeing the token, and confirming a few more secret questions.
Afterwards, Lailaf quickly drank a bottle of mana potion to ensure that no problems would arise when needed.
After both parties have verified each other's identities, the rest is the handover of materials.
Before that, Lailaf asked first: "I sense the magic trap here, and there is a lot of fire oil filling it."
Although Count Aini's power now has to rely on the orcs in the stronghold to survive.
However, the two sides have been at war for hundreds of years, with constant major and minor conflicts. There must be a blood feud between each other's ancestors. The captain of the garrison does not like these orcs.
But the question asked by the orc was difficult to answer.
“There are many people who know about such a large amount of grain and grass, and there are also many who hold objections.
If someone interferes with this, or if this place is revealed to someone named Xu, he will definitely not be able to watch you get this food and grass.
Our Earl has an order. If you are not the one here, let us destroy all the supplies here, including ourselves, of course. "
Lailaf's eyes narrowed. The orcs admired the brave the most. He comforted:
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely report this matter to you.
You only need to remember those who raised objections. When we come back to conquer the grassland, we will help you kill these disobedient people. "
After the captain heard this, he didn't feel any joy in his heart. He only felt sad in his heart, and he didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.
Soon, Lailaf found the source of the stench, which was a large pile of cattle and sheep, restrained in a fence.
If it weren't for the fact that the cattle and sheep from the other world had better physiques, if they were piled together like this, most of them would be dead within three days.
"Why are they all alive?"
The captain rolled his eyes and said: "No one knows when you will come. If you slaughter them all, it will be difficult to transport, and there is no cold storage here. It will probably stink in three or two days.
Besides, don’t you prefer fresh blood food? These cattle and sheep were just delivered, and they are still very fresh. "
Lailaf is an orc and is relatively sensitive to the vitality of animals. These cattle and sheep smell very fresh and are very appetizing.
The fishy smell here is like hell to humans like the captain.
However, for orcs like Lailaf, this place is almost the same as paradise, with countless cattle and sheep to enjoy.
After swallowing, Lailaf said with difficulty: "Is there anything else?"
Kenlo Hager gave him a space ring. Unfortunately, the space ring cannot hold living things. A warehouse-type ring like Xu Lai's would be fine.
The captain fanned his nose and frowned: "Yes, yes, but our count said that you don't like to be vegetarian."
With that said, the captain led Lailaf to several sealed rooms, where a large amount of food was piled up, conservatively estimated to be tens of thousands of units.
There are several such rooms, and together they must contain hundreds of tons of food.
But when Lailaf saw this scene, he frowned and seemed dissatisfied.
After taking a bottle of mana potion, Lailaf's mana has been restored. He casually swept through the mountains of food, and all the bags of food were absorbed into his space ring.
Although the food here is piled up in several rooms, if you really eat it, even if you exclude the men in the orc army who only eat meat, it will not be enough to last a day.
Seeing that all the food was collected and the captain showed no intention of taking him to other rooms, Lailaf frowned and said, "Is that all?"
The captain also frowned and said: "An adult cow weighs several tons and can produce at least a thousand units of meat.
Even if one sheep only provides one hundred units of meat, the tens of thousands of cattle and sheep here can provide nearly ten million units of food.
And even on the grassland, meat is much more valuable than ordinary food.
Today's grasslands are full of our enemies. Do you know how much manpower and material resources it costs to transport these cattle and sheep? "
The captain and others were extremely dissatisfied with providing food to the orcs. After all, they were not merchants, and they still had some sense of shame.
Of course, Leilaf also knew that meat was much more valuable than food, otherwise why did those uncles in the stronghold like to eat meat so much.
Moreover, the meat here was all fresh and alive, which was far more precious than dead things. It was not appropriate to accuse Earl Aini and his men of not being attentive.
But if there were only a few dozen cattle and sheep, they might be able to transport them back to the base if they thought of a way.
There were tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, even if they were crowded together now, they would almost fill up the hiding cave. How could they hide from Xu Lai's investigation?
"Let me take a few cattle and sheep back to report first. The final decision will still depend on what the higher-ups say."
However, the captain raised his hand and said, "No, our Earl has specifically instructed us.
This hiding cave is extremely important. It is an important place to supply you with food and grass in the future.
Therefore, the Earl told us that if you want to take them away, take them all together, and never take only a few cattle and sheep out.
In this way, even if you are discovered by Xu Lai, he will only think that you are wandering or scouting cavalry, and will not expose the location of this hiding cave."
Xu Lai has invested a lot of money in the cattle and sheep here.
For this reason, he specially asked Aini to hire mercenaries and sent over several healing spell scrolls produced by the temple to ensure that these cattle and sheep will not die in the short term.
If the orcs take a few away and eat them directly after returning, exposing the fact that these cattle and sheep are poisonous, it will be too much of a loss.
So, under Aini's repeated care, the captain and his team would never allow Leilaf and his team to take only some of the cattle and sheep.
"But how can we take so many cattle and sheep away?"
The captain shook his head and said, "That's not something I can think of. The only way I can think of is to slaughter them.
But there are so many cattle and sheep here. If you want to slaughter them, please send more people over."
Indeed, it would take a long time to slaughter tens of thousands of cattle and sheep one by one, and sheep are easy to deal with, but cattle are famous for their strength.
But Kenlo Hag did not authorize him to slaughter cattle and sheep, not to mention that even if Kenlo Hag authorized him, the Beast King might not agree.
He is a cavalry captain, how good a space ring can Kenlo Hag give him.
Not to mention that there is not a good space ring in the entire stronghold camp.
The one in his hand, even if it has been vacated, can't hold much meat.
The remaining food must be transported back in a short time, otherwise it will all rot here.
No matter how small Xu Lai's reconnaissance force is, the more frequent the exchanges, the greater the risk of exposure.
"I dare not make the decision on my own. Wait until I go back and report."
Lilaf did not want to conflict with the human captain at this time. What's more, what he said made sense. Liilaf, who knew a little magic, was not a fool. (End of this chapter)
