At first, He Wen thought of the Lord of the Forest in the mine. If it returned to its heyday, its power would definitely be enough to threaten the existence of these knights.
But He Wen soon gave up the idea.
If the knights knew about the existence of the Forest Lord, they would have attacked her while she was recuperating. How could they wait until now?
Is that for them?
Impossible. Even with Eve's help, an orc village would never allow humans to use an army of this size.
That's right, this is no longer just a knighthood, but is equivalent to the size of a regular army.
That's...himself? But his performance on the execution ground would never have received such attention. Now that he has become stronger, he has never revealed any news to the outside world. For this reason, he did not show up at all when he fought Setas before.
Is it for Shalia?
No...it's not right. If it was for Shalia, then the Magic Association should appear now instead of the knights. In this world, magicians have a natural advantage over knights, even if it is an entire army, but in this world, magicians have a natural advantage over knights. In front of a powerful magician, there is nothing more than a meteorite falling spell.
That's why the army mixes and matches magicians so that it can better counter the opponent's magicians.
But after He Wen activated the large-scale vital signs detection technique, he discovered that there was not even a single magician in this huge army.
He was lost in thought and kept brainstorming. What else existed in this forest that he had ignored?
At this moment, an orc next to him suddenly interrupted him.
"Teach, Professor!! Look!"
At the archer's signal, He Wen looked forward and discovered that the leading troops of the army had already set foot within the village's defense line, and the flags held by the knights at the front were impressively hung with several beasts. The head of the clan.
The orcs took a closer look and found that it was actually the scout they sent out to detect the movements of the knights near the edge of the forest.
"These bastards!!"
Several orcs around me
At that moment, all the orcs clenched their teeth and their eyes were full of anger. They witnessed their companions being so rudely humiliated, and their hearts were filled with endless anger.
"Please stay calm, everyone." Although He Wen's voice was calm, it contained unquestionable firmness. However, the orcs in front of them have been blinded by anger. They can't wait to jump off the solid steel city wall to snatch back the heads of their companions and avenge them.
Seeing the excitement of the crowd, He Wen did not hesitate and immediately closed his eyes. A peaceful aura was released from him, instantly covering the surrounding orcs. At this moment, the excited orcs seemed to be soothed by an invisible force. Their emotions were forcibly suppressed and they regained their composure.
Under the influence of this force, all the orcs became quiet. Their anger was temporarily calmed and they finally regained their senses.
He Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Although the orcs were very powerful, they still relied too much on instinct and animality to control their emotions.
If they were really allowed to rush down like this, they would definitely die.
He Wen could be considered to have reserved his strength for the next action.
"Professor...an army of this size is different from what we imagined before."
After witnessing an army of this size, even Harudo, who had always been fighting, seemed a little uneasy.
"I understand that these people are not coming for us. We are just a stone blocking their way, but it is obvious that the other party does not intend to let this stone go."
In the silence, He Wen smiled softly. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, as if he was under tremendous pressure. Then, he slowly closed his eyes, as if he was feeling something with his heart.
His thoughts began to go deep into the ground, passing through the thick soil and reaching the depths of the ground. There, he felt a strange presence, which seemed to be waiting for something quietly. Suddenly, the existence made a strange noise, as if responding to He Wen's call.
After receiving this response, He Wen slowly opened his eyes. There was more determination and confidence in his eyes, as if he had found a solution to the dilemma.
"Don't worry, let's check the situation first." He said softly, with a kind of comfort and encouragement in his voice.
He gently patted Harudo's shoulder, seeming to convey a sense of strength and courage. Then, he turned his head and looked at the group of approaching knights.
These knights were also very surprised when they saw a steel city wall wrapped around the Orc village.
Eric Darren touched his chin, a hint of indifference flashing in his eyes.
He looked at these city walls carefully, thinking that Princess Eve seemed to have really gained some power that did not belong to humans.
Then, he decisively raised his hand to signal the team behind him to stop advancing.
He rode alone and fearlessly approached the city wall. The orc soldiers on the city wall were holding their bows and arrows tightly, ready for battle, but he didn't seem to care. His eyes were firm and his expression was calm, as if he had everything under control.
When his horse slowly came under the city wall, he dismounted neatly.
The huge warhammer in his hand hit the ground hard with a deafening bang. At this moment, the entire forest seemed to be trembling, as if even nature was shocked by his power.
"Eve Fast, Your Highness the Princess."
Eric bowed slightly towards the city wall.
He Wen frowned. Sure enough, this guy would not easily let go of Eve, a princess who had been charged with treason.
"My subordinate, Eric Darren, is here to take you home."
Eric's words were calm and firm, without any emotion. His voice was like the sound of wind echoing from a deep valley, low and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight, hitting everyone's heart.
But the only people who responded to Eric were the bows and arrows ready to be fired from the city wall and the orc warriors waiting at the entrance of the village.
Seeing this scene, Eric sighed, held the warhammer in his hand again, and finally looked at the orcs on the wall and said.
"The crime of harboring fugitives and trapping the Red Dragon Knights cannot be punished. I have allowed you to survive for so many years. You should be satisfied, you beasts."
After that, he slowly walked to the horse. Just when he was about to mount the horse, an orc archer couldn't bear it any longer. He shot out a bow and arrow in his hand. He had been aiming for this arrow for a long time. As a hunter, He had full confidence that he could penetrate the unprotected throat of human beings.
But just when the arrow flew in front of Eric, the tall man suddenly raised his hand to hold the arrow, then looked in the direction of the arrow and grinned.
"Don't worry, everyone will die."
