In the circle of nine people, no matter how hard the orc tried to collide, it was to no avail. The nine people who came from the legion and had been training in the same team had a tacit understanding of cooperation for a long time. Especially with the leadership of Xenia, surrounding an orc was easy, but not difficult. During the stalemate between the two parties, one of them took advantage of the opportunity to launch the signal transmitter in his hand, and a different kind of fireworks bloomed in the night sky.
The orc failed to break through several times. He heard the faint sound of horse hooves in the distance and became more and more impatient. He had known that he would not come out tonight, but he had no choice but to find food. These humans, even though I have taken great care not to harm them, still refuse to let me go.
As the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, the orc's eyes suddenly turned blood red, and his originally low roar became passionate, making people's ears numb, but with a little sadness. The speed suddenly increased several levels, and the sudden change made the nine people begin to feel the pressure. Their mission was to capture the orc alive, not to kill him, which would increase the difficulty.
Feeling the sudden pressure, Xenia shouted: "Hold it, he is using the orc's violent power. This power cannot last for long. As long as he holds on until the brothers arrive, he will be fine. Don't let him run away." .”
Without Xiniya's orders, the eight battle-experienced people had already gone all out. In this situation, no one dares to be careless. It's okay to escape the orcs. If one is not careful, he may even become a dead soul under the orcs' claws.
After being stopped after collisions, the orcs still had no intention of giving up their escape, and their claws and weapons kept clashing together. After another attack was blocked, the orc did not retreat into the encirclement this time. He used his body to catch the attack of one of them. Regardless of the blood spurting out, he turned around, and a tail strangely swung out from behind and hit him with nothing. The soldier's chest was smashed and he flew backwards. A hole was opened, and loopholes appeared in the originally orderly formation. Even Xiniya could not adjust in an instant.
The orc seized this opportunity and rushed out with a kick of his feet.
The spear filled with fighting spirit in Xenia's hand was thrown hard, and it went straight to the back of the orc with a sound of breaking through the air. At this point, the plan to capture him alive is out of the question. If he escapes, that would be the real big problem.
The spear was less than half a meter away from the orc. The orc's charging body suddenly twisted in an incredible way and rolled to the left, avoiding the fatal blow from behind. Seeing that Xenia's help was about to arrive, the orc suddenly locked eyes with Cody who was hiding behind the horse, and with a stern look in his eyes, he pounced towards him.
"Cody, hide now." Seeing that the orc did not run away but went straight to Cody, Xenia's heartbeat seemed to pause. He had no time to retract the thrown spear, so he used all his strength on his feet, trying to get to Cody before the orcs. I couldn't help but regret that I shouldn't have brought Cody to this damn place.
Cody, who had been hiding behind the horse to watch the battle, saw that the original battle situation had suddenly changed. The ferocious-looking orc was now coming towards him. He had no time to remain dazed and quickly moved with his feet. It's just that Cody's speed is nothing compared to the orcs. In just a blink of an eye, the orc arrived in front of Cody. The claws of his right hand reached out and grabbed Cody.
Having been unable to escape, Cody closed his eyes in fear and could only hope that Xenia could save him at the last moment. Seeing the ferocity of the orc before, he didn't think he could survive this capture.
I want to seize the person in front of me who looks the weakest and seems to have a different identity as a hostage. Only in this way can I have a small chance to leave. In order to prevent the hostage who might have saved his life from being caught by him, the orc slightly reduced his speed and strength when he finally struck. He was confident that even so, the person in front of him could not escape from his grasp.
He didn't feel anything after grabbing it, and the orc couldn't believe that he missed it. It's just that the human in front of him suddenly disappeared on the spot and appeared more than ten meters away.
Cody, who had his eyes closed, just felt that his body was shaking for a while and he didn't feel anything. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the orc was still in place as it was when it rushed towards him. Without thinking about it, he raised the magic wand he had been holding tightly and raised his hand. While chanting the spell, he quickly backed away, his eyes still staring at the motionless orc.
As the spell was completed, bolides appeared in the sky. With the stroke of the magic wand in Cody's hand, bolides fell towards the orcs like real meteors in the night.
After feeling the movement, the orc put away his original posture and looked at the bolide falling towards him. He was stunned for a moment, and then his face lit up with joy. Facing the bolides accompanying him from the sky, he did not dodge. Instead, he stood up straight and let them fall on him.
After Cody's magic ended, he looked at Xenia who was already standing in front of him with a pale face and asked tremblingly: "Uncle Xenia, has he been burned to death?"
Seeing that Cody was fine, Xenia didn't bother to ask how Cody could suddenly escape what she thought was a fatal grasp. She stared at the huge figure in the fire and said solemnly: "No."
As if to verify Xenia's words, the orc in the fire slowly walked out and headed in the direction of Cody. By the light of the fire, I could see that nothing was happening on the orc mountain except for the large pieces of hair that had been burned off.
The expressions of Xenia and several others changed greatly. Although the remaining people had arrived and surrounded the orcs again, they did not feel that they were sure of victory after the recent incident.
The orc walked forward step by step and stopped when everyone was about to attack. He opened his mouth and said human words: "Wait a minute, I don't mean any harm."
Xenia, who had met the orcs more than once, was not as shocked as the others. She just tightened her grip on the spear that had been retrieved by others and said in a cold voice: "Huh, no harm? As an orc, you rashly appeared in the human race. The central location has caused so many troubles, and now you say there is no malice?"
The orc snorted and said in a loud voice: "I really don't have any ill intentions. Whether it's coming here or stealing the food, I really can't do anything about it."
Xenia took a few steps forward, pointing her spear at the orc, "Anyway, I think you should give me a reasonable explanation first."
The orc looked at Xenia and was silent for a moment, then pointed to Cody, "I will explain to you, but I will only talk to this person." Then he suddenly knelt down on one knee, "Dear magician, please forgive me for what I said before. Offended. I came to your human city for a last resort reason. If possible, I hope to talk to you."
"Me?" Cody pointed at his nose and was at a loss. He really didn't want to talk to this orc. If something different had not happened to him just now, his body might not even be broken into pieces now.
"Yes, I won't talk to anyone except you. Although there are many of you now, if I must fight hard, the most you can get is my body. As for some secrets that others should not know, only You can be taken away by me." The orc just knelt and looked at Cody.
Cody looked at Xenia, not knowing what to do. He still felt that his soul had not returned.
Xenia thought for a long time and said: "You can talk if you want, but you must agree to a few conditions. First of all, I can't let you contact Cody alone. I must be by Cody's side during the conversation. After all, I don't know you. What is your identity and what is your purpose? Secondly, the place for your conversation can only be here, in our encirclement." Xenia did not dare to be careless, but there was an indescribable feeling that this orc did have something. special reasons. With him following Cody closely, and the soldiers around him, he was confident that he could protect Cody even if the orcs suddenly attacked.
The orc thought for a long time and finally nodded, "Yes, but your people should stay away."
Xenia didn't speak and waved her hands, and the others stepped back to give them enough space.
The orc stood up and stood on the spot and said to Cody: "First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Menglu. I am a leopard man from the Kia Kadi Fortress in the north. I, no, it should be said that it is us. We are here because of a special Mission, as for what the mission is, I'm sorry I can't tell you right now, but I definitely have no harm in the human race. The recent robbery of a large amount of food is because of my wife. I didn't know she was pregnant before setting off. She discovered it on the way, but unfortunately, when she came here, she just gave birth to a child.
"The main food of us leopard people is meat, especially when we are weak, we need more food. Your Excellency should know. Although orcs and you humans will often come into contact in the border zone, but there are no special circumstances. I'm not allowed to enter the other party's central area, so I can't get food openly and can only use this method. I'm very sorry about this.
"And along the way, not just now, but also in other places, we have tried our best to avoid the humans when we met them. Even if it was unavoidable like a few days ago, I was trying not to hurt them. Whether it was because of the mission Or anything else, I don’t want to be an enemy of the human race, especially you, noble magician.”
Xinya snorted coldly and said: "You violated the contract privately and entered our territory, and also stole and injured people. No matter what your reasons are, this is not the reason for me to let you go. Now, it's best to complete your mission Tell me honestly, otherwise, you won't be able to leave tonight."
Monru ignored Xenia's threat, looked at Cody and said: "Dear magician, are you from Barton College?"
Unexpectedly, this orc knew about Barton Academy. Cody was a little surprised and nodded.
Menglu's eyes flashed with surprise and he continued: "Then may I ask if you know Master Fryer or Master Sfulin."
Cody felt a little shocked at this moment. He didn't expect that this orc actually knew Master Sfulin, the deputy dean. As for Fryer, Cody was not familiar with him, but he knew that he was the dean of Barton College, but he had never seen him before. After thinking for a moment, Cody nodded.
Seeing Cody nod this time, Monru took a deep breath, as if his whole body relaxed suddenly, "The purpose of my coming here is to find these two masters, but please forgive me that I still can't tell you what happened. If possible, distinguished magician, I wonder if you can lead me to find these two masters."
Cody frowned and asked: "I'm sorry, I can't promise you this. After all, you can't make me trust you just by saying their names. And even if I want to, I won't go in a short time." Barton College.”
"I have something that should be able to show that I am indeed not lying." As he said that, Monru took out something from somewhere and threw it at Xinia.
Xenia took the thing and after making sure it was just an ordinary animal skin, handed it to Cody. Cody took it in his hand and looked at the strange patterns on the paper animal skin. He didn't find anything special. Could this thing make him believe in an orc who almost killed him? However, seeing the serious look on the orc's face, Cody read it again carefully, and finally found that the pattern on the tail of the animal hide was exactly the same as the pattern on some special letters he had seen from Master Gan. , is said to be a common signal mark among all magic academies, and only special groups of people in the academy are qualified to know it. As for the strange patterns on the paper, they seemed to be in ancient Chinese writing, but Cody couldn't understand a single word, he just felt familiar.
Seeing that Cody didn't speak, Xenia asked: "How is Cody? Did you find anything?"
Cody handed the paper animal skin to Xenia and motioned for him to return it to the orc Monlu, "Uncle Xenia, I can't understand the text on the animal skin, but the pattern at the bottom can indeed be regarded as a special kind of Barton College. Sign. I think it’s better to report this matter to the city lord, no, tell the legion commander directly and let him make his own arrangements, but I suggest sending him to Barton College.”
"Are you sure, Cody, that there is indeed nothing wrong?" Xenia didn't believe it and asked again.
Cody nodded heavily, "Uncle Xenia, believe me, I will never be wrong."
Listening to Cody's serious tone, Xenia could only do as he said. If this orc didn't lie and he really needed to go to Barton College for something important, if he was really affected because of him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be demoted as easily as before.
Xiniya looked at Menglu and said: "I can't make a decision on this matter. I need to take you back to Norma City for our legion commander to make a decision. But before that, you must not do anything else. You must not be seen by anyone, and everything on the road must obey our instructions."
The orc nodded without hesitation and said: "Okay, there is no problem with that. If there are no other problems, I want to go to our hiding place to pick up my wife first."
Xenia nodded and raised his hand to call the people around him. Now they still have to find Kendav and tell him that the matter has been resolved. As for how he wants to explain to the people of Dala City, that is his own business.
