"Setas...Captain?"
A knight looked at the head rolling under his feet and seemed a little unbelievable.
It wasn't until his companion's legs were so frightened that he collapsed on the ground that he dared to look directly at the current scene.
"...The leader!! The leader is dead!!!!"
This cry, like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, instantly swept through the entire knight team.
The head was still lying on the ground with blood, and its wide-open eyes made every knight shudder.
The knights who were still fighting against the orcs were caught off guard by this sudden change and were thrown into chaos.
Setas, the warrior who was unmatched in their hearts, the leader who could lead them to victory in any difficult situation, his head actually rolled to his feet.
The head that once symbolized cruelty and conquest has now become so terrifying and desolate.
This change frightened the knights. They could not imagine what was going on, let alone accept this cruel reality. Their faith was destroyed, their hopes dashed, and their world turned upside down.
Their numbers originally overwhelmed the Orcs, but now they were beaten back by the Orcs. Some knights were even pulled off their horses and hacked to death without any reaction.
He Wen from a distance looked at this scene and nodded. It would be better to say that Eve's current increase in strength is what she should be.
You must know that the mille-feuille cake that he ate for Eve was purchased directly from the system illustration at a cost of 1,000 demon points, which was more expensive than what Shirin and Shallya ate.
It is a product of a certain magical cooking world and can greatly improve the physique and strength of the eater.
For the warriors of this world, skills and moves are embellishments.
Only the body is strong enough to bring these things into play. After eating such expensive enhancement food, Eve's current strength level He Wen estimated to have reached the sixth level.
Setas is a fifth-level warrior, but don't underestimate this difference. In this world, whether you are a magician, a warrior, or a priest, fifth-level is an important threshold.
Below the fifth level, the difference in strength between each person may not be large, but once it reaches the fifth level, a qualitative change will occur. Only those who can break through the fifth level can truly be called strong.
Although Setas is strong, his strength is limited to dominating among ordinary people. The same is true for Eve, her power is only within the scope of ordinary people. If you compare them with the truly powerful people in this world, there may be different results.
And now that Eve has broken through the fifth level, she can be regarded as officially joining the ranks of the strong.
That's why He Wen felt that this was a normal improvement at this time. You must know that if this thing has no effect after eating, it will really be a big loss. After all, system customers do not accept refund services.
The subsequent battle can basically be said to be one-sided.
At this moment, Shalia was floating in the night sky. She waved the scepter lightly, and immediately, the barrier surrounding the forest began to release powerful power.
Those magicians originally planned to use their powerful magic to protect the knights, but when they raised their staffs, their hearts were filled with despair.
In this forest, their demonic spirit veins seemed to have been sucked dry by something, and they were completely unable to exert their due power.
More than 300 knights and more than 20 magicians were almost wiped out by the beasts. In the end, only more than 70 knights and more than a dozen magicians were left and fled.
And this was because He Wen told the elder Haka to keep alive and fish for big fish for a long time, so they left the forest.
Otherwise, these people who escaped would have no chance of surviving.
The orcs watched in disbelief as the knights fled in defeat, and then burst into cheers. The waves of cheers became higher and higher, and the orcs who had not participated in the battle in the village also rushed out.
They hugged, cried, screamed to the sky, and vented their inner excitement in their own way.
This victory is extremely important to them.
This means that the orcs no longer need to be oppressed by humans.
Their power can even defeat the Red Dragon Knights, and even the arrogant Setas has his head trampled into a puddle of mud.
He Wen originally wanted them not to destroy Setas's head, because he thought it might be useful later, but the orcs' anger towards Setas was completely out of control.
He Wen sighed as he watched the orcs trample on Setas' head and tear his body apart.
He is not a Holy Mother, and he knows that the Orcs' venting is necessary, but as a doctor, he is not willing to see this scene, and the Orcs are not without casualties.
One hundred and fifty elite warriors of the Orcs paid a heavy price in this battle.
Forty soldiers fell forever in the forest, and more than seventy soldiers were seriously injured and groaned in pain.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, making people feel extremely heavy and depressed.
It can be said to be a heavy price.
At this moment, he was treating the injured orcs.
The old orc held his hand, his eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.
"Professor!! Thank you, thank you. Because of you, we can stand up and resist those humans. Thank you... for making us no longer look like beasts."
He Wen said nothing.
He knew that what he was going to do would be accompanied by countless sacrifices, which was inevitable, and he was mentally prepared. However, seeing the cruelty of the battlefield for the first time, he still felt a little nauseous.
"have a good rest."
In the end, he just patted the old orc's shoulder lightly, and then walked to the injured Hal.
Hal did not cheer like her compatriots. Instead, she huddled against a big tree, with a look of confusion and helplessness in her eyes.
"Let me see the wound."
He Wen knelt down in front of her and gently pulled her hand over.
During the fight with Setas, Knight Howl was not seriously injured, but she witnessed with her own eyes that the old orc named Hassan was split in half by Setas in order to save him, and then his head was also damaged. The iron hooves of the war horse were crushed.
This shock to her was like going back to her childhood, when she witnessed her father's death but could do nothing.
"I'm very sorry......"
He Wen said while treating the wound on Hal's arm. He did not raise his head, as if he did not dare to look into the girl's eyes.
"...a lot of people died...I couldn't stop it, I'm sorry."
The girl slowly raised her head and stared at He Wen without saying a word with her dull eyes.
"There is no need to apologize, Professor. Without you, the orcs would only be treated more cruelly."
Harudo came over with a spear in hand.
He gently touched Hal's hair and then looked at He Wen with grateful eyes and said.
“You gave us hope, hope to live and a future.”
Then he took another look at those fellow humans who would never wake up, and couldn't help but sigh.
"...This is war, Hal. Open your eyes and watch."
Hal's eyes followed his uncle's hands and looked at the orcs lying in a pool of blood one by one.
"This is the price of freedom."
He Wen did not disturb the uncle and niece again. After treating Hal's wounds, he slowly stood up and walked towards Eve's direction.
Eve was currently surrounded by several orcs. The orcs kept thanking her and praising her strength, but Eve just gave them a faint smile.
After noticing He Wen approaching, several orcs nodded slightly to He Wen and saluted, then went to help clean up the battlefield.
"Can we do better?"
Before Eve could speak, He Wen asked first.
He was a layman when it came to war, and he didn't even know whether his layout made any sense.
Eve looked at He Wen, then smiled slightly, and hooked her hand towards He Wen.
He Wen was a little confused, but he still leaned over, and then Eve gently held He Wen in her arms.
"...You did a great job. In only two days, you almost rejuvenated all the orcs."
"But so many orcs still lost their lives in this battle."
"If it weren't for you, none of them would have survived."
He Wen felt extremely warm when he was held by Eve. This warmth even made him feel dependent and didn't want to leave her arms.
"...It's not over yet, He Wen."
Finally, Eve whispered in He Wen's ear.
"Um."
He Wen nodded, of course he knew that this was just the beginning.
He left Eve's arms, then looked towards the direction where the knights were escaping and murmured to himself.
"The bait has been put out, it just depends on whether the big fish will take the bait."
