Lord of Arcane

Chapter 78 Night Attack
He didn't know why Xia Duo escaped from his shop in the first place, not to mention, he had urged that foreign mage named Kenny to attack Xia Duo.

Although the attack failed, it made Old Neil even more attentive, and he has been carefully investigating Xado's whereabouts these days.

But Xia Duo stayed in the barracks as soon as he returned to the town. Even when he went out, he always took four or five soldiers with him, which made him stop thinking about attacking and killing in the town.

But thinking of Xia Duo's possible revenge, Old Neil felt cold all over and couldn't sleep.

The next day, the tired old Neil received the news again that Chateau was out of town, which made him have an idea. He subconsciously looked at the room of the out-of-town mage.

However, after hesitating for a while, there is still no past. After all, the price of hiring a mage is not ordinary, and he is still weighing it.

……

On the other side, Shado once again led the team out to clean up the remnants of the orcs. On the way to the Green Pearl Forest, Jibu told Shado what he had learned about the frontline battle.

The orc's lair was destroyed, and a large number of young men died on the frontal battlefield. After this battle, the orcs were no longer the confidants of Savile Territory.

As for the loss of the territory, Jibu didn't say much, but Xia Duo could probably guess it, nothing more than killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, or even killing eight hundred and losing one thousand.

There might be Jibb's friends here, so Xado didn't ask more, but asked about the situation of other apprentices leading the team.

After learning that the others also gained something, Xia Duo silently calculated in his heart, and gained a little more confidence in whether he could survive this orc wave safely.

……

As soon as they approached the forest, everyone immediately entered a state of vigilance, perhaps recovering from the previous defeat. Most of the orcs they encountered on this day were full of tyrannical killing intent.

As long as you meet them, you have to come up and do your best. There are very few people who have retreated or escaped. Compared with the previous days, the frequency of encountering orcs has increased significantly.

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

However, the Sami team had not been renovated to replace the reduced players before, so it is impossible to say which side is more difficult.

In the evening, Shado and Sammy informed each other of their respective locations as usual, and then they started to build a temporary camp, with only a bonfire and a simple fence on the periphery.

Shado and Dean occupied the position closest to the bonfire, while the rest of the team circled around the periphery, keeping warm next to each other.

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

After all, the scrolls distributed above are very limited, and they should be used in truly critical situations.

In the wild, even though there were more than 20 companions around, Xia Duo still slept very lightly. After an unknown amount of time, he heard a sound in a daze, "Warning, there are orcs coming!"

Xado was instantly agitated, immediately turned over, kicked Dean, who was still sleeping, and shouted, "Get up! Dean!"

The rest of the 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 became vigilant around them.

"Mage Xado, there are six orcs in total. It is estimated that they were attracted by the fire." Aiwa appeared out of nowhere and reported the number of orcs to Xado.

"Continue to investigate."

There are only six orcs, and they are still within the range of the team, but there must be two, and how many orcs are attracted!

Xia Duo immediately performed the [Lighting Technique], and Dean, who had sobered up, also performed the [Lighting Technique] under Xardo's order. The two light balls were inconspicuous against the backdrop of the bonfire.

But then, Shado ordered people to put out the bonfire, and then began to set up temporary positions under the illumination of the light ball to prepare for the enemy. The brightness of the light spell is limited, and because it is a collection of positive energy, it is actually in the dark night. The propagation distance is also quite limited.

Soon, just as the side was getting ready to meet the enemy, Shado heard the roar of the orcs, and it was getting closer.

"Everyone is ready!"

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

The shield-wielding team members on Xado's side immediately picked up, and at the same time, multiple spears stabbed out of the shield's gaps. In just one round of attacks, the attacking orcs were directly reduced by two.

But the other orcs seem to have fallen into madness, completely disregarding whether they are attacked or not, they will cut the stone axe towards the human side, even if it is cut on the shield, it will not change.

This kind of enemy is very fond of Xia Duo, except for those orcs who have no intention to fight, this kind of completely crazy is the easiest to deal with.

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

Hatred of human beings is the source of their madness as well as the source of reason.

Such an enemy is the most terrifying.

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

call--

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

He was busy until the early hours of the morning, and Xia Duo fell asleep in the new camp. Just before dawn, he was woken up again. This lack of sleep made Xia Duo very uncomfortable.

Not to mention the state of spellcasting, even if he didn't consider spellcasting, he felt that he would not be able to last for a few days.

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

"it is good!"

Others have no problem with this, and they are reluctant to spend the night in the forest, especially at night there are orcs who would rather not sleep to disturb them, which is unbearable.

After that, Shado contacted Sammy again and told him about his temporarily changed promotion plan. Although Sammy did not meet the orcs last night, he also agreed to change the plan.

So both parties speeded up the cleaning speed at the same time, of course, the traveling speed more precisely, most of the cleaning task was spent on walking!
At dusk, 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 chose a spacious private house to use as a temporary camp. .

In this way, Xia Duo brought 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, it greatly improved the safety.
