Sword and Magic and Taxi

Attitude is important.

Lifting a weight as lightly as a heavy weight and lifting a weight as lightly as a heavy weight are two seemingly contradictory words, but they actually contain quite profound wisdom. In the large and small settlements around Zhao Mai, if they go to conquer one by one and conduct orc duels or siege battles one by one, the whole thing will be dragged out for a long time. Not only did Zhao Mai find it boring, but even the onlookers who followed Zhao Mai would lose their patience.

And for the orcs, there is no need to force the division of labor, after all, the customs are different. The dictatorship and pyramid structure of the command line, coupled with the rigorous task assessment, are already the limit of the orcs' understanding. Their wisdom is not focused on this aspect, but is all reflected in the battle.

Chief, the situation ahead is very abnormal. I suggest you stop and sort out the trucks now, and I'll go investigate. An orc with big eyes came to Zhao Mai, his huge nostrils opening and closing, looking weird but vivid.

Of course Zhao Mai knew there was a problem ahead. His facial features were much stronger than those of the orcs. In the settlements attacked by dire wolves, the scattered corpses of orcs have now been transformed into ghouls. This is a nasty undead creature. All warm-blooded creatures may be corrupted by evil forces and become ghouls after death. It can be seen as a dehydrated corpse with enhanced agility and strength, misshapen and well-developed teeth and claws. They have an appetite and can eat the flesh and blood of living creatures as well as the carrion of dead creatures. Not so much to survive, but to maintain their ability to spread disease and produce toxins.

Ghouls are quite dirty, but they basically have a copy of all the germs that can be found in corpses, garbage, and decaying environments. The various plagues are troublesome enough, but ghouls are always able to spread ghoul fever, and those infected quickly become dehydrated and look like ghouls. If you die while infected with this disease, you will become a new ghoul.

In addition to disease, ghouls also have a faster-acting ability: their claws channel evil power through wounds, quickly paralyzing their opponents and speeding up the fight. The combat ability of ghouls can only be considered average among undead creatures, but they are very capable of spreading diseases and expanding their scale. If they are not careful, they will cause more and more trouble.

You are right, there is something wrong up front. Zhao Mai patted Big Eye's shoulder: Go and do some reconnaissance, be careful of ambush. Don't just pay attention to living things, even dead bodies. Daryl, let the people behind you The convoy stops and prepares for defense.

Defense? No problem, chief! Daryl did a backflip and jumped off Duchard's neck. Let him do these things, and Zhao Mai can have a lot of leisure.

Big Eyes got the task of detecting the enemy's situation, and he was very proud. He lowered his body with a spear and stepped forward. His big nose seems to have enhanced his sense of smell. Although the ghoul is relatively fresh and the smell on his body is not strong, the wind still aroused his idea. From a distance, Zhao Mai saw three ghouls whose claws and teeth had not yet begun to mutate and protrude, trying to ambush Big Eyes under the cover of weeds.

Have you all seen it now? That settlement has been attacked by ghouls. Don't let those things go, otherwise it will be trouble. Zhao Mai raised the machete, pointed forward and said: Charge with me!

There is no need to teach at all, the blood in the bones of the orcs has been integrated with the wisdom of fighting. Two or three orcs formed a small group, with the distance between the groups roughly forming a sharp arrow shape behind Zhao Mai. Members of each group always consciously implement the combination of long and short weapons, and form weapon coordination in local battles to achieve the purpose of quickly eliminating the enemy. Daryl and four orcs carrying crossbows, under the cover of the team, seized a location with a good shooting range. It doesn't have to be the kind of commanding heights that command the overall situation, as long as it can protect the charging orcs.

The powerful orc death squads, or centurion or decaurion orcs, will always lead such groups to form forward formations and rush towards the enemy one after another. No matter it is the forest of human spears, the shield wall of the dwarves, or the rain of arrows from the elves, the orcs never fall behind.

Newborn ghouls can't even take advantage. In fact, the battle was started by Big Eye. He smelled the enemy and looked back first. When he saw the Blackfoot leader leading the orcs forward, he knew that he had accomplished a good job in luring out the enemy, and he immediately changed his identity from a meat bait scout to a stormtrooper.

The orcs will win! Big Eye roared, and the ghoul understood that his whereabouts had been discovered, and immediately pounced forward. It's just that they have the aggressiveness of ghouls, but they haven't acquired the tough skin and sharp claws. They are weaker than they were in life, just ordinary orcs in the settlement who are not qualified to fight in the north.

The big and small eyes saw the trajectory of the ghoul's charge, and the spear thrust out, hitting the enemy in the chest. Black blood kept spraying out from the wound, which might bring diseases to people, so the orcs quickly retracted their weapons and ducked to the side. There was only a crisp click sound, and the spear that lacked proper maintenance broke the shaft, leaving only a piece of wood in Big Eye's hand.

He snorted, raised one foot on the ghoul's waist, and kicked the one with the spear stuck in its chest aside. Immediately afterwards, he threw half of the spear shaft in his hand at the second ghoul, and then pulled out the dagger from his waist. He was too focused on the enemy in front of him and didn't see the third one coming from the side.

I only felt a whistling wind passing by my ears, and then there was a crackling sound. Zhao Mai threw the orc machete from a distance, cut off the ghoul's neck, and then inserted it deeply into the soil. Telekinesis gave Zhao Mai the ability to correct the flight trajectory of the long knife. This accurate and powerful blow greatly improved the morale of the orcs.

The orcs will win!

Zhao Mai snorted and felt that this slogan was too ordinary, so he slapped his chest hard and roared: WAAAGH!

The other orcs were stunned, and suddenly felt that this slogan was powerful, and it seemed to make their own blood boil. A kind of desolate primitive impulse swelled in the chest and abdomen. They waved the smashing, cutting and poking in their hands, and shouted wildly: WAAAGH!

Facing the ghouls, Big and Little Eyes heard the cry of war, and felt that there was an erupting volcano behind them, and the lava of doom was flying in all directions, and that they were an invincible warrior and an unstoppable force. He roared WAAAGH! He held the dagger in both hands and raised it above his head, jumped up suddenly, and rushed towards the ghoul with overwhelming force. The dagger pierced the skull, entered in the middle of the ghoul's head, and then emerged from the back of the head, killing him with one blow.

Zhao Mai rushed over in big strides, pulled out the machete from the ground, strengthened the natural force, and let himself exude abundant vitality. The ghouls felt the vitality, drooling and charged together. Driven by their greedy thirst for flesh and blood, they are like moths rushing to a flame. They will only attack again and again, but will not escape.

This is exactly Zhao Mai's intention.

WAAAGH!
