Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 251 Rescue the Prisoners
Time passed quickly. When night fell, the burning Changhu Town was still blazing with flames. The wooden structures of the houses made the fire last for a long time. The more than 200 surviving townspeople cuddled together near the pier. To keep warm, occasional unsuppressed cries spread on the lake.

The remaining soldiers and men, under the command of Wayne, maintained order among the refugees. With the help of healing potions and the food and supplies he provided, although the survivors were still quite miserable, at least they had enough to fill their stomachs. After that, he barely extended his life.

Just when Wayne and a guard captain named Jerry who he had rescued were discussing how to resettle the refugees, a low beast roar suddenly came from the wilderness outside Changhu Town.

Hearing this sound, Wayne paused for a moment. He looked at the guard captain who was also a little panicked by the huge beast's roar, and comforted him softly:

"Don't panic, Captain Jerry, this is my fighting partner."

As he spoke, Wayne's voice paused for a second, and then he said to the guard captain Jerry:
"I'm going to leave temporarily. It's up to you soldiers to guard the safety here."

The captain of the guard was stunned when he heard this, and then looked embarrassed. Although Wayne was not a familiar person to them, half of the survivors now saved their lives because of Wayne's treatment. Because of his existence, these poor people who survived the disaster had a sense of security.

If this seemingly powerful figure suddenly leaves, to be honest, even though Jerry was the captain of the town's guards in the past, he felt that he was simply not capable of managing these survivors.

After thinking hesitantly for a few seconds, Jerry plucked up the courage and said:
"Mr. Wayne, can you please not leave? The townspeople are in a panic right now. Everyone has lost their loved ones and there is no backbone. Everyone needs you!"

Wayne was silent for a few seconds and then said:

"Don't worry, I'm only leaving temporarily. You don't need to tell them about my departure."

"And the purpose of my leaving was also to save the captured townspeople."

"Don't you want your relatives and friends who were taken away to be rescued?"

Jerry was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Wayne with some uncertainty. Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, he persuaded with a complicated expression:
"Of course we want to save our relatives and friends, Mr. Wayne, but if you are the only one, don't die in vain."

"There are too many orcs, and they are well-equipped. Without an army, it is impossible to defeat those guys and rescue the captured prisoners."

As a survivor of the looting battle in the afternoon, he was very aware of the combat effectiveness of those orcs. Although the equipment of those monsters was not very good, they fought very crazy, and could even be described as regardless of life and death. Ordinary human soldiers might Even one on one cannot kill them.

As an aborigine born in Long Lake Town, he knew that these orcs came from the Gray Mountains and were a group of powerful orcs that had been competing with the dwarves of the Iron Hills for territory for many years.

Seeing that the other party still wanted to persuade him, Wayne waved his hand to interrupt his words, and then asked with a serious expression:
"Don't worry about my strength. Thousands of orcs have died in my hands. To me, the orcs are just defeated generals."

"I just want to know, do you need me to rescue those captured prisoners?"

Jerry was silent for several seconds after hearing this, and then said with some difficulty:

"Of course, Mr. Wayne, my wife and children were captured by the orcs, and I would give anything if someone could rescue them."

Ding!The mission is triggered, [Rescue Prisoners] Master Level, do you want to accept it?
Wayne immediately took over the task in his mind, then patted Jerry on the shoulder and said:
"Take good care of the refugees here. I must leave immediately. If it takes too long, they will be taken back to the orcs' lair, and it will be more difficult to save them then."

………………

After leaving the dark jungle with a complex environment, Deathclaw's running speed became much faster.

Riding on Robin's back, Wayne directed it, following the obvious traces left by the march of large armies on the ground, and began to chase the orc army that had completed the robbery.

The reason why he waited until night was not only to save the surviving wounded in Changhu Town, but also because Wayne wanted to take advantage of the darkness before taking action.

Demon hunters with cat's eye potions and deathclaws with dark vision will become even more deadly and hidden under the cover of night.

As for whether he can catch up with these orcs, Wayne is not worried.

A large-scale team like this would most likely not be able to march at night compared to those elite cavalry units, and even if it were to march at night, the speed would drop a lot.

With the speed of the Deathclaw, he would definitely be able to catch them before dawn.

Sure enough, after he and Robin left Long Lake Town and tracked in the direction of the Gray Mountains, with the help of his keen vision and Deathclaw's sensitive sense of smell, it took them about four hours to catch up to the orc camp.

Perhaps because of the victory during the day, these scum had forgotten everything. When he and Robin rushed to the camp, he found that these orcs seemed to have held a carnival party, and the ground was full of wine bottles and leftover food. Bones, a large group of orcs lying on the ground crookedly, wearing armor, holding their weapons and sleeping soundly.

Although there are still some orcs keeping vigil, judging from their sleepy expressions, they are basically useless.

This situation made Wayne quite satisfied, and could even be said to be a surprise.Such a ridiculous scene would most likely not happen in a human army, but it wouldn't seem very out of place among a group of orcs who basically had no education and could only be regarded as a ragtag group.

This was a good opportunity to save people. He did not let Robin launch a surprise attack immediately. Instead, he arranged for Robin to wait for orders in a secret place. He put on an invisibility cloak and quietly entered the orcs' military camp.

It is very different from human military camps. As half-orcs are almost the same as beasts, their march is like child's play. There are neither large-scale tents to provide accommodation for soldiers, nor defensive measures such as building fences to keep out horses. Resist the enemy's cavalry.

They are as casual as savages. Except for a few large bonfires for lighting, everyone in the entire camp lies on the ground. Only the half-orc captain with a higher status will spread some fur or hay on the place where he sleeps. , walking among these sleeping orcs, Wayne could even hear one after another snoring, which was very weird.

Such a simple camp not only gave Wayne the convenience of searching for prisoners, but also made the entire area look very empty. It was obvious at a glance that any big movement would alert the enemy.

Fortunately, magic has not become popular in Middle-earth. Convenient props such as invisibility cloaks are very practical in such a world. With the invisibility cloak and the cover of darkness, Wayne fumbled in the orc camp for less than 5 minutes. They found the place where the prisoners were being held.

There are two types of captives in Changhu Town. Adults are locked in simple wooden cages with their hands and feet tied up with iron chains. Vulnerable humans like children and the elderly are treated like livestock by the orcs. The hands and neck were tied with rope and then strung together.

As if to prevent them from escaping, these prisoners were all locked up in the same area. Not only were they equipped with more than a dozen orc guards, but they also used wood to build a wooden wall around them that was as high as one person.

However, due to the carnival and drinking of the orcs, most of the guards were sleeping against the wooden wall at this time. Occasionally, there were a few who were awake, but they were just trying to cheer up and looked drowsy.

This undoubtedly gave Wayne an opportunity to take advantage of.

He had no mercy for these orc guards. Relying on the cover of his invisibility cloak, he quickly sneaked up to them, then covered their mouths and noses, and dispatched them without making a sound.

Moreover, after many stealth assassinations, Wayne also discovered the magical function of a space bracelet, which was to destroy corpses, eliminate traces, and hide corpses.

Although the space bracelet from the world of Faerun cannot store living objects, it has no problem at all when used to hide corpses.

As long as he destroys the enemy's brain and makes him completely brain-dead during the assassination, then the space bracelet can directly collect the corpse like an object.

This discovery greatly reduced the difficulty of being discovered during an assassination.Although the mysterious disappearance of guards and targets will also cause surprise to patrol personnel, compared with the discovery of a corpse, the two results are undoubtedly worlds apart.

Just like that, the guards guarding the prisoners quickly and quietly disappeared without attracting anyone's attention.

When Wayne got rid of the guards and entered the wooden wall where the prisoners were held, he was somewhat surprised to find that besides him, there were other people who were also rescuing the captured prisoners.

It was a middle-aged man who was not strong in stature. He was wearing a dark fur cloak. He was crouching on the ground and cautiously approaching a cage. He didn't know whether he was picking the lock or doing something, but he didn't make a sound.

Seeing this situation, Wayne only thought about it for a second or two, then quietly walked to the man's side, stretched out his hand, covered his mouth, and controlled his body. The huge force made the man unable to move. Resist.

"Don't make a sound. I'm here to save people too. Let me go now. If you dare to yell, I will kill you."

After confirming that both parties were human, the man's struggle quickly stopped. Wayne let go of his mouth and asked softly:
"Who are you and why are you here?"

The man looked quite handsome, but he looked very embarrassed at this time, with sweat and bruises all over his face. After hearing Wayne's question, he hesitated for a second and then said:

"My name is Bud. I am a resident of Changhu Town. I am here to rescue my child."

Wayne nodded when he heard this and immediately knew who the other party was. However, he did not show any surprise and directly ordered:
"I have taken care of the guards outside. Now you come with me to rescue the prisoners."

"After rescuing them later, I will cause chaos, and you will take them to escape back to Changhu Town."

"Listen clearly!"

The situation was urgent and did not allow for more discussion. After hearing the words, Bud only hesitated for a second and immediately nodded in agreement.

When Wayne saw this, he didn't explain much. After winking at Bud, he pulled out the Statik electric blade from his waist, and then came outside the chain-locked cage.

As a magical weapon that has been strengthened several times through strengthening scrolls, the Statik Electric Blade has extremely excellent sharpness and sturdiness.

The orc's chain was quite crudely forged. With Wayne's strong arm strength, he cut the chain without picking the lock and successfully unlocked the cage.
