Chapter 678 The Orcs Need You
Zhao Mai withdrew his natural green gaze and carefully thought about the feeling that the black shadow gave him just now. "The will of the world? Is it possible that it is so strong?"
If the dark force in Zhao Mai is like a drop of ink poured into a cup filled with water, then the guy he just saw is completely an inkpot. The dark will in him has surpassed that of the Nazgul, and may even approach Sauron. This is very unreasonable, because what kind of thing can cause the dark will to gather like this?
After recalling the entire history of Alda, Zhao Mai was basically certain that the person was a time traveler. Considering that I arrived three years later than others, anything could happen. No matter what, that person is a natural competitor, and he is not too far away from Zhao Mai. Sooner or later, it will be a problem.
Fortunately, this time we found the opponent before the enemy and got a good head start. Zhao Mai thought for a while and decided that he should go and see for himself. Although green vision is very useful, it is not a method of this world. The previous actions may have aroused the other party's alert. If you use the green vision again, you may be caught by the other party and the identity of the traveler will be exposed. On the contrary, if Zhao Mai walked over directly in the form of an orc, even Sauron wouldn't be able to tell. Isn't this disguise safer?
"A-Liang, you and Xiaohua continue to teach the Z-worms here. It's not appropriate for you to attack this time."
Li Liang had an unhappy look on his face, as if he was saying, "How come the fight is none of my business?" Xiaohua, on the other hand, had no objection. It seemed that she wanted Zhao Mai to leave quickly so that she could be left alone here.
"Division of labor, you are the boss, and I am the thug." Zhao Mai pinched the dog's face, made it happy, and then pushed the door open and went out.
The orcs all know that their leader is Blackfoot, but they rarely see Zhao Mai. This time it is a "blessing for the eyes". "Call Daryl and Duchard, we're going to fight!" Zhao Mai yelled, and naturally someone would help him convey the message, and he walked towards the tower next to him.
There are all kinds of weapons piled up there, all old and obsolete items brought from the orc settlements. They look good, but they are easy to break on the battlefield. Zhao Mai can solve battles with his fists, but he really doesn't look like an orc without weapons. After picking around, a dagger and a straight-edged machete were enough.
The length of an orc's dagger is almost as long as a human's short sword, and the straight-edged machete is simply a heavy weapon for the elves. Its shape is unique, a rectangular iron plate about the same thickness as the palm of your hand, a one-meter blade, one-sided blade, three protruding spikes, two are used as hand guards, and one is at the farthest end of the machete. Edged back.
When wielded, one side is a machete and the other side is a pickaxe. To deal with unarmored or light armor, use the bladed side; to deal with heavy armor, use the pickaxe to attack the enemy's neck or the joint between the waist and abdomen. At the same time, this pickaxe also has the same function as a hook, and can be used for many combat techniques.
Holding the murderous weapon in his hand, Zhao Mai's emotions were inspired. The orc machete cannot be placed in a sheath due to its unique shape, nor can it be strapped to the waist. Therefore, the orcs could only carry it all the time, always on alert.
Duchard was not far away. With his huge body and thick armor, the ground was shaking when he ran over. He never took off the armor Zhao Mai made for him, even when sleeping, and the first thing he said was: "Chief, don't you wear some armor?"
Metal armor will affect Zhao Mai's natural force induction, and he has rough skin and thick flesh, which is really not comparable to ordinary steel armor. The naked upper body is even more powerful, and the thick muscles (conjured by the force of nature) are the most important security guarantee for the entire settlement.
Zhao Mai shook his head and saw Daryl running over from a distance, waved to him, and then led Duchard towards the east. In addition to these two loyal orcs, several orcs with fighting ability followed. They wanted to show off in front of Zhao Mai, hoping to gain attention and improve their status.
Zhao Mai was too lazy to know their names. If you perform well, just give him a nickname and that's it. "I hear the sounds of fighting. There is a settlement waiting for us to receive it. Follow me!"
Go grab something? The orcs were very excited, even Dushat, who was not very good at fighting, was the same. Several orc women wanted to follow. Their waists had not yet bulged. When they heard that they were going to plunder, they naturally wanted to get more of the pie, not only for themselves but also for their children!
"Go and pull it into the car. How much can you carry with two hands? Rope sacks and baskets. Do you still need me to teach you about this kind of thing?"
This is equivalent to the leader agreeing to be followed by everyone, and cleaning the battlefield can also share the spoils. One pass passed from ten to ten, and for a while everyone who could walk or run was taking action.
"Assholes, keep everyone who doesn't have a car. If the slave runs away, I'll settle the score with you!" Zhao Mai waved his knife and scolded most of the people back. "Daryl, go and check, don't let them mess up."
Orc marching is like this, and there is basically no need to ask for any formation, discipline or tactics. Daryl came to the end of the group and kicked each of the cars, driving back the three that were shaking badly. Then he explained: "If you can't keep up, get out. If you can't get something, it's your own fault." This is considered to have selected and organized the transportation team. He ran a few steps to catch up, winked at Ducha, grabbed his armor and climbed up.
Duchard was tall and mighty, while Daryl was a relatively small half-orc. He could sit cross-legged on Duchard's shoulder with his neck between his legs, and his vision was much further. The burden of his weight is nothing compared to the benefits of scouting and improved range. Du Shat didn't object, and Zhao Mai didn't have time to worry.
Orcs are only suitable for extensive management. They can't understand anything that is too detailed, and it will be self-defeating. With more than thirty orcs and eight carts, they were quite a force on the Nuern Plains where most of the orcs had gone north.
Of course, that won't be the case two or three years later. The newly born orcs will fill the empty spaces on the plains and continue to extend and expand. The tribes will become more and more numerous and larger.
"Chief, the stone wall and wooden gate in front of you on the left, surrounded by a deep ditch is the Bucktooth settlement. There are more than thirty people, all Bucktooth brothers, sisters and children. They..." Daryl hasn't said anything yet. After finishing, he saw Zhao Mai wave his hand, looked left and right, then changed direction and walked towards the pile of stones.
"What is the leader doing? The Bucktooth Village is on the other side. Do we still have to go around?" said an orc.
"Stop talking nonsense and keep an eye on it!" Daryl scolded.
A stone the size of a water tank is hidden inside the stone, waiting for Zhao Mai to discover it. This thing weighs about half a ton, and even the strongest trebuchet of the orcs cannot use it as ammunition. Zhao Mai inserted his fingers into the stone, glanced sideways at the direction of the settlement, and then waved his arm.
There was only a buzzing sound, and the stone drew a heavy parabola, blasting the wooden door of the settlement into pieces. The impact caused the door frame and the walls on both sides to collapse, making it no longer possible to provide any obstruction or protection. The orcs of the Blackfoot tribe, including Duchart, raised their arms and cheered, and did not hesitate to throw the adjectives "powerful", "invincible" and "invincible" to Zhao Mai.
"Daryl, go tell them to obey me and join my settlement." Zhao Mai found the only orc who remained calm. "If you don't join, I will kill them when I come back!"
