Chapter IX Wolf Cavalry Raid
Roddy was sure that the orc camp in front of him was the first sharp tooth that the orcs extended their tentacles to the Karen Kingdom. Because of its existence, the orcs began to gradually erode the border villages of the Karen Kingdom in the next few years, until about three years later, when the kingdom was in chaos, a large-scale war of aggression began!
Although Roddy, who was determined to save this kingdom, was passionate, he understood that he was not qualified to explain the profound significance of this inconspicuous camp to others. After all, he was just a Level 1 legion soldier. If he said something "alarming" casually, who would believe it?
He needs strength, voice, and strength to become stronger.
Thinking of the shock he was at the shooting range today, Rodie coughed lightly and said, "This should be a typical small orc camp. Judging from the number of tents... there should be twenty-eight to thirty-four people."
"There are traces of simple beast cliffs outside the camp, proving that the opponent has wolf cavalry and is around eight people."
"The opponent's combat effectiveness is not strong, and the wolf cavalry has gone out to patrol. At present, there should be about twenty people left behind."
These words scared the scouts - although they could occasionally see orcs from the border, or obtain some information about these barbarians from the rumors that were passed down from oral, no one could really give such accurate judgments at one glance at the tents.
What's more, they certainly remembered what Roddy was like before yesterday - that was a coward who was so scared that his face turned pale when he saw the wild wolf. How could he do the veteran's posture of calmly making a judgment at this moment?
But remembering the terrible scene of his 12 arrows hitting the same position today and then beating Ruger, and recalling what he had done before, they had to believe a fact... Roddy was definitely not as simple as he imagined.
"You...I-I mean...If we attack, do you think there is a chance of winning?"
As the captain, Carter wanted to say a few words to maintain his prestige, but obviously he was not confident enough, so he simply changed his tone and asked politely.
Roddy frowned and looked ahead and thought for a while, and replied cautiously: "I think we have no hope of fighting hard, and there is also the possibility of encountering the opponent's cavalry at any time. The wolf cavalry usually doesn't go too far because they-"
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly turned his head and pulled the reins at the moment when all the scouts were unclear, and said to them in a hurry: "Hurry up! Go down! Don't stay here!"
Carter frowned, but without hesitation, followed Roddy and rushed down the bottom of the grass slope, hiding outside the sight of the orc camp. However, the military quality of the group was not as good as Roddy imagined. The two scouts had poor riding skills. They commanded the horse for a long time but still couldn't get down from the top of the slope immediately...
Roddy thought to be in trouble - although he had not seen anything strange from his vision, he would never forget the unique sound of the wolf's footsteps when it was rushing, which proved that the expected orc cavalry nearby was approaching!
Although the orcs here are all 2-4 levels, those cavalry have been nightmares for all novice players - their mobility is powerful. Once they are attacked by wolf cavalry, if they do not have enough long-range power, ordinary players will not be able to compete... Even level 10 legion soldiers holding heavy shields can hardly resist the wolf cavalry's sprint attack!
"Damn it!" Roddy suddenly stopped hiding when he heard the sound of the wolf in the distance. He knew that the other party had discovered the team and no longer continued to dodge. Instead, he immediately shouted: "Get out of here! Hurry up!"
At this time, Roddy didn't care about letting Carter give orders. He knew that the consequences of being one step later were likely to be wiped out. The words he spoke unconsciously brought the power of the former "Shadow Hunter", which made the soldiers obey unknowingly.
He glanced into the distance and immediately sorted out a reasonable evacuation route based on his memory. He turned his head and shouted: "I know the safe route to leave. Follow me, no one should turn back!"
Of course, Carter knew who said the most reliable thing at this time, and instinctively responded: "Everyone, keep up!"
The team immediately started, and as soon as their war horses rushed to speed, a team of black shadows suddenly appeared on the low slope in the distance...
The orc wolf knight really came around as Roddy expected!
Those wolves are not as tall as war horses, but have a sturdy figure as a calf. They are full of momentum with the fierce orc warriors on their backs.
When the scouts who heard the strange noise behind him turned around, they were so scared that they burst into tears. They immediately kicked the horse's belly and followed the team closely. The three new scouts of the second team didn't quite understand why Captain Carter followed Roddy's words, but at this moment he really understood the reason...
The number of these wolf knights is as accurate as Roddy's judgment! There are no more or less, only eight!
A sense of fear rose from their hearts... If it weren't for the decisiveness under Roddy's order, they would have been bitten by those guys straight down the hillside!
Thinking of this, the scouts couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Roddy, but when they turned around, they found that Roddy's route was a bit strange at the moment - they didn't understand why the "safe route" in Roddy was all rugged hillsides. Logically speaking, the one that could make the horses run the fastest... shouldn't it be possible to level the downhill road?
They didn't know that although the orc wolves had strong explosive power and were very powerful in the short distance, their endurance was far inferior to that of war horses. At this moment, the scouts were basically climbing the hills, and those wolves would become slower due to their size. The advantages of short-distance pursuit have been dragged down a lot. Once they could not catch up with a distance of 1,000 meters, the war horses that stepped onto the smooth road would definitely be able to leave these exhausted wolve troops far away.
Because of the long-term peace, the Karen Kingdom had long forgotten the combat methods and characteristics of these orcs, but Roddy knew this clearly. There was another reason for him to take the lead uphill: those wolf knights were not only strong because of charge, but also had a powerful "net throwing" skill. Once the running war horse was wrapped in the net, it was unnecessary to say the fate. So at this moment, the wolf cavalry's net throwing skills were also limited, which invisibly allowed the scout team to avoid another major risk.
Roddy's seemingly simple tactical command, the combat wisdom contained in it was not something Carter and others could think of in a short time.
At this time, he took the lead, crossed the last road of the long uphill, and then led the team to sprint down a very long slope. When the downhill appeared, the orc wolf cavalry, who had been suppressed and unable to catch up, seemed to have finally seen a turn. The leading guy roared and tried to sprint to catch up, but then found that his wolf was ineffective, and even stuck out his tongue in a daze during the downhill process...
So, they watched the distance from the human scout team being opened again, and they screamed in a very frustrated moment...
But the orcs' arrogant and stubbornness made the wolf cavalry not give up. After a long downhill period, Roddy had turned around and confirmed the other party's identity - the unified black wolf, which should be the army affiliated with the orc Rohal's Hammer. Their identity is similar to Roddy's at this time. However, the orc kingdom is a tribal system. Their "chief" is similar to the duke who is now in charge of Hollier City. They are both real power figures on the side, and their power sphere is even greater than that of the duke.
Roddy has determined that the level of these guys will not exceed level 5, and is the lowest among wolf cavalry. Only with the impact of the wolf, these orcs have the attack power of the swords, the attack power of these orcs is at least four or five times higher than that of ordinary orcs. It is definitely not easy to solve them.
Roddy was not surprised that the other party was reluctant to chase him. After dealing with the orcs for so long, he had already figured out the temperament of these green-skinned barbarians. So he decided to lead the scout team to turn uphill again...
The team's advance speed suddenly slowed down a little, and the wolf cavalry in the rear immediately narrowed the distance.
They screamed and chased after them excitedly, but when they also stepped uphill and looked forward, they suddenly realized that they seemed to be controlled by the other party to control the rhythm of the entire battle.
In front, Roddy's team had already reached the top of the slope and then began to turn!
The leader of the wolf knight below the long slope realized something was wrong and wanted to give orders to the wolf cavalry next to him, but saw the leading human forty orc style suddenly straightened his waist and raised a horn bow in his hand with obvious orc style...
The next moment when the leading orc didn't react at all, an arrow had already penetrated his strong chest with a "pop" sound!
Because the wolf was rushing forward at this time, the power of the arrow was increased invisibly. The huge momentum led his body to lean back, and he instantly went balance and fell straight from the wolf-
