Lailaf, the captain of the Wolf Riding Team, is a warg warrior and has reached the end of his wolf riding system.
But if he can have the opportunity to obtain a wolf or a giant frost wolf, he can also have the opportunity to change his profession into a wolf knight or even a frost wolf knight.
Therefore, Lailaf cherishes this opportunity given by Kenlo Hager.
The reason why Kenlo Hagar does not use higher-level Frost Warriors or Wolf Warriors is because these two knights are relatively obvious.
These two types of wolves have stronger load-bearing capabilities. Not only are they larger, they can also carry stronger orcs.
Even the ordinary Wolf Knight is much bigger than the Warg Warrior.
In addition, the evil wolf is completely black, while the frost wolf is completely white. Except for the warg's large size and stronger combat power, it is no different from the ordinary prairie gray wolf.
A warg is a large steppe wolf, and warg knights generally choose the shortest and lightest orcs.
On the grassland, as long as they keep their bodies low, they are not easily discovered by the scouts in the sky.
Among flying creatures, eagles and dragons have the best eyesight, and can clearly see the target they want to see from a distance of thousands of meters.
In addition, neither the griffin nor the angel can achieve such an exaggerated effect.
Whether it was the orcs' own intelligence or the intelligence provided by Aini, they did not find that Xu Lai had a dragon eagle, but there was one of the top holy dragons.
But the holy dragon was not underage, and Xu Lai usually took it with him. Kenlo Hager also confirmed the existence of this holy dragon when he encountered Xu Lai's cavalry.
Therefore, Xu Lai's aerial reconnaissance force should only be angels and griffins.
The orcs don't know the actual situation of Xu Lai's angel troops and griffon troops. They only know that Xu Lai has a group of high-level angels in his hands, and the number of griffons is not too many.
Under the premise that our own air force has a large amount of air force, even if Xu Lai has some air force, most of his attention will definitely be on his own air force.
But they didn't know that Xu Lai didn't have the kind of naturally grown and tamed griffons under his command, so even if he had captured a tamer's helmet that could communicate with the beast, it would be useless.
Elwee was the only one who could complete aerial reconnaissance from beginning to end, and while she was staring at the flying legion, she had no time to do anything else.
The caution of the orcs did not have any effect, because Xu Lai did not need to monitor the other party from the air.
This secret spot was originally provided by Xu Lai to the orcs. There are extremely hidden investigative eyes hidden everywhere.
It can be said that as soon as Lailaf appeared in this secret hiding hole, Xu Lai noticed them and has been watching them silently.
In the cave, in order not to reveal any flaws, Xu Lai also specifically asked Aini to use magic communication to send what he called his own people from another castle to garrison.
The man left behind in the castle is Aini’s confidant, and he naturally obeys Aini’s advice.
And 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 was not free at all.
They were also completely unaware of Aini and Xu Lai's plans. They only thought that Aini was hiding outside to wait for the orcs to kill Xu Lai to ensure safety.
Therefore, when Aini ordered them to send people to garrison the food storage points prepared for the orcs, no one raised any questions.
When Lailaf carefully entered the hiding hole, he was immediately controlled by Aini's people.
Although Lailaf is also a level 6 orc, his body shape is worse than these elites. Moreover, Lailaf does not have any escort, and he is good at riding combat.
Being beaten by a small number of people, even though he was prepared, he still accidentally missed and was captured.
However, after taking down Lailaf, the opponent did not kill him, which also prevented Lailaf from immediately warning Kenlo Hager.
"Captain, it's an orc!"
The hiding hole Xu Lai chose was very wide and was originally used by Bello himself.
It’s just that this place is too remote, and the most important thing is that it is close to the grassland in the west. There are usually very few caravans coming and going, and there is no oil and water, so it is directly abandoned.
There are also outdoor structures like hiding holes in strongholds, so when Lailaf discovered this hiding hole based on the mysterious coordinates, he was still full of joy.
This was also the main reason why he did not put up any resistance after entering the cave. He guessed that the opponent should be the human count's men.
Sure enough, after the other party discovered his identity, he immediately withdrew the sword.
"Sorry, we are the guards posted here by Count Aini. Where does this orc warrior come from?"
Lailaf snorted coldly and looked around. lock up.
The entire hiding hole was huge, with only about 20 people in it. Except for a few people around him, the others were holding torches and hiding in various corners that were not easily attacked.
Kenro Hag selected Lailaf to come over, except that the warg warriors could be covered by grassland weeds after lowering their bodies.
Also because Lailaf is one of the few orcs with magical talent.
Although Lailaf's magical talent is not high, it is extremely rare among the orcs, especially the wolf cavalry 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 upper limit of mana, it is enough to use the magic message stone 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 engulf them.
When he thought of this, Lailaf immediately became vigilant again and said:
“I am Lailaf, the wolf cavalry captain under the command of Grand Marshal Kenlo Hag. You said that you are stationed by Earl Aini. What credentials do the guards have?”
"I was once the guard of Count Aini.
Our count told me that I was his chief mage advisor, and Master Palame is still with you.
You can ask Master Palame Come and confirm my identity.”
Lelav did not refuse, he understood the meaning of Kenlo Hag’s request.
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 sensed the magic trap here, and there is a lot of fire oil filling it."
Although Count Aini's power must now be The orcs rely on strongholds 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.
It’s just that the orc asked a question, but it was hard not to answer it.
“There are many people who know about such a large amount of grain and grass, and there are also many people who have objections.
In case someone interferes with it, or this place is revealed to someone named Xu Yes, he will definitely not be able to watch you come to get this food and grass.
Our Lord, the Count, has an order. If it is not you, 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 submit those who have objections. Remember, when we conquer the grassland later, we will help you kill these disobedient people."
After hearing this, the captain felt no joy in his heart. He only felt a sense of sadness in his heart. What you do is 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 them here. There is no cold storage, and it will probably smell bad after 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.
Swallowing, Lailaf said with difficulty: "Is there anything else?"
Kenlo Hager gave him a space ring, but unfortunately the space ring could not hold any living things. It would be fine if it was a warehouse-type ring like Xu Lai's.
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 Lailaf frowned when he saw this scene, and seemed to be dissatisfied.
After taking a bottle of mana potion, Lailaf's mana has been restored. He casually swept over 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 harvested and the captain had no intention of taking him to other rooms, Lailaf frowned and said: "Is that all?"
The captain also frowned and said: "An adult cow It weighs several tons and can produce at least one thousand units of meat.
Even if one sheep only has one hundred units of meat, the tens of thousands of cattle and sheep here can produce nearly ten million units of food. < br>
And even on the grassland, meat is much more valuable than ordinary food.
Our enemies are everywhere on the grassland today. You know we have to transport these cattle and sheep. How much manpower and material resources will it cost? ”
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 Lailaf also knows that meat is much more valuable than food, otherwise why would the men in the stronghold like to eat meat so much.
What's more, the meat here is all fresh living animals, which are far more precious than dead animals. It is inappropriate to accuse Count Aini and others of being careless.
But if there are only a few dozen cattle and sheep, then they might think of a way to transport them back to the base.
There are tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, even if they are crowded together now, they will almost fill the hiding hole. How can they hide it from Xu Lai's detection.
"Let's do this. I will take a few cattle and sheep back to report first. The final decision depends on what it means."
However, at this time, the captain raised his palm and said: "No, our count specially
This hiding hole is extremely important and will be an important place to supply you with food and grass in the future.
Therefore, the Earl told us that if you want to take it away, take it with you. You can't go out with just a few cattle and sheep.
In this way, even if you are discovered by Xu Lai, he will only treat you as cavalry wandering or investigating and will not expose the hiding place. "
Xu Lai spent a lot of money on the cattle and sheep here.
For this purpose, Aini hired mercenaries and sent over several healing spell scrolls produced by the temple to ensure that these cattle and sheep would not die in the short term.
It would be too much of a loss if the orcs were allowed to take a few of them away and then eat them directly after returning, exposing the fact that these cattle and sheep were poisonous.
So, under Aini's repeated care, the captain and the others would never allow Lailaf and the others to take away only part of the cattle and sheep.
“But how are we going to take away so many cattle and sheep?”
The captain shook his head and said: "That's not what I can think of. The only way I can think of is to kill them.
But there are a lot of cattle and sheep here. If you want to kill them, please send more people here. . ”
Indeed, it takes a long time to slaughter tens of thousands of cattle and sheep one by one, and sheep are not bad, cattle are famous for their strength.
It’s just that Kenlo Hager did not authorize him to slaughter cattle and sheep. What’s more, even if Kenlo Hager authorized it, the Beast King may not agree.
He is a cavalry captain, what a good space ring Kenlo Hager can give him.
What's more, the entire stronghold camp doesn't have a good space ring.
This one in his hand, even if it has been vacated, cannot hold much meat.
The remaining food must be transported back within a short period of time, otherwise it will all rot if left here.
No matter how small Xu Lai's investigative power is and the more frequent contacts he has, the risk of exposure will only increase.
“I don’t dare to make the decision on this matter without authorization. Let me come back after I go back and report.”
Lailaf did not want to conflict with the human captain at this time, not to mention what he said made sense. Lailaf, who knew some magic, was not an idiot. (End of this chapter)
