Lord Chronicle

Chapter 169 Sneak attack from behind
And just like that, another day passed.

On the afternoon of the third day, when Sol continued to relive the romantic dream with Jessica in his dream, he was suddenly awakened by a sudden shaking.

"Huh? What's the matter, is dinner ready?" He opened his eyes in a daze.

It was Buck who woke him up, and he said in a deep voice, "Master Saul, the orcs have begun to move."

Sol shuddered, and the drowsiness disappeared in an instant.He jumped up: "Where is it?"

Buck led him to the side of the mountain, where everyone was already there, staring intently into the distance.Faintly visible from here, the ambush orcs sneaked out from the side of the valley where they were hiding, and hid behind a hillside.

On the farther side of the northern wilderness, a pile of dust was faintly visible in the sky, and it seemed that a large number of people were approaching this side.

Saul took a slow breath: "Is it them?"

Chip beside him looked back: "It's too far away, I can't see clearly, but judging from the reactions of those orcs, it should be right."

"That's good." Sol nodded: "Let's prepare."

The barbarian warriors all showed excitement when they heard the words. After all, they hid for two days just for this moment.

After thinking for a while, Sol suddenly beckoned Vihir: "I think it's better to inform Conte Baker, and I'll leave this matter to you."

Vihir was taken aback: "But they are so far away, how could I make it in time?"

Sol chuckled: "Don't worry, I have my own way."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand with the summoning ring, thinking silently in his heart, amidst a flash of white light, Simba the Griffin appeared on the snow.

A griffin suddenly appeared behind him, everyone present was startled, and some barbarian warriors even opened their bows and arrows immediately.

Sol hurriedly said: "Don't be nervous, this is my summoned beast."

Buck and Igna, who believed that Thor could even command dragons, would naturally not be too surprised that he could summon griffins.Under the appeasement of the two, the soldiers quickly quieted down.

Saul said to Vihir, "Just ride it and fly there."

Seeing the huge griffin with sharp mouth and sharp claws, Vihir took a step back in fear.

Sol had no choice but to make some scared gestures to her: "Don't worry, it won't bite you, you just have to ride it like this..."

With that said, he walked up to Simba, ready to make a demonstration.

Unexpectedly, Simba suddenly turned around and turned his butt towards him, followed by his hind legs and planed in the snow. In an instant, a large cloud of snow rose up and splashed all over him.

"Quak quack quack quack..." Seeing Thor who had turned into a half snowman, Simba expressed his satisfaction with the ugly cry of the griffin.

"Master Suo, are you alright?" Vihir hurried forward to clear the snow for Saul.

This dead flat-haired beast... Sol was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing. It was obvious that Simba had completely ignored his status as the master.

"Why, isn't it obedient?" Vihir asked cautiously.

"Uh..." Sol came back to his senses, and he shook his finger: "Don't be stupid, this is my summoned beast, how could it be disobedient, I just wanted to remind you that the griffin is actually a Very naughty monster. With my training, how can I be serious with a beast."

As he said that, he pushed Vihir behind his back: "Now it's your turn, don't be afraid, just ride bravely."

"Oh..." With a half-understanding answer, Vihir had no choice but to walk over.

While watching Vihir slowly approaching Simba, Sol reminded from behind: "Yes, just lean in slowly, don't be afraid, although it will be a little difficult, but you can also ride like me..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Simba turned his head and saw the beautiful woman Vihir approaching, his eyes lit up, and before she could say anything, he automatically lay down on the ground.

"Master Saul, look, it's so easy." After hesitating for a while, Vihir mounted the griffin, and then excitedly waved at Saul.

"Damn..." Sol was completely speechless.

"You've done well. Go to Conte Baker and tell him about our plans."

Vihir nodded, followed by a cheer, Simba stretched his wings and jumped into the sky.

"Master Saul, if we let the orcs see the griffin, will it alarm them?" Buck asked Thor with some concern.

Sol shook his head confidently: "No, the orcs are now like bowstrings stretched, and they can't do without shooting the arrows. They should have taken back the nearby scouts, let's take action here too."

Buck hummed: "You're right."

Following him, he pointed to the stretching snow line on the left: "There is a long and narrow trench over there, because of the snow, it is very hidden. From there, we can appear directly behind the orcs."

This is the benefit of occupying a favorable location. The orcs would never know that such a place existed beside them.

Soon, the assembled barbarian soldiers, led by Buck, left the snow mountain and headed for the hidden ditch.

At this time, the smoke and dust on the side of the northern wilderness is getting closer...
****************************************************************
"Great, Your Highness, your plan has succeeded."

On the hillside where the orcs were ambushing, Maner, Amada's confidant, looked at the two troops gradually approaching from the northern wilderness, and said excitedly.

Beside him, the pretty Amada withdrew her gaze in satisfaction, and then said in a low voice, "General Berek, it's up to you from now on."

A tall and strong Behemoth in armor nodded, turned his head and waved his hand behind him, and under the hillside behind the three of them, thousands of elite warriors of orcs moved silently to the side of the hillside.

Seeing Barrick lead his men to the ambush position, Maner said regretfully: "After defeating the barbarian, everyone will think it is Barrick's credit. Your Royal Highness, this is too unfair to you."

Amada said indifferently: "It's okay, now is not the time to expose my existence."

Maner lowered his head slightly: "But Berek is an incompetent person, why did you choose him?"

Amada snorted: "Only an incompetent guy can be easily controlled by me. It is not convenient for me to come forward in many things, and I can only gradually control the army through him."

"It is not good to wipe out Verona, and the attack on Broken Sword Gorge Fortress failed again. His Highness Uroel has been questioned by many people. Isn't this exactly what you want? Why did you take the risk of being discovered this time and come forward to help?" How did he deal with the barbarians?" Manr asked in bewilderment.

Amada sighed helplessly: "Although I have always wanted to weaken my brother's influence, his prestige has dropped too fast. I am afraid that he will be replaced by someone else before I have enough strength. This is not me. I want it, so I need to help my brother stabilize his position temporarily."

Following her, she said angrily: "It was a perfect plan to attack the Broken Sword Gorge Fortress while taking advantage of the internal turmoil in Dinar. Once the Kaviland is captured, we orcs will not only have the most sophisticated weapon manufacturing place, but also have the opportunity The gateway to and from the rich hinterland of Dinar, from now on there will be no worries about lack of supplies."

"I don't know who instigated these barbarians to gather troops to threaten our border and force us to retreat when we are about to succeed. It's too strange. This is not the style of those barbarians at all. I really want to see who is behind them who is it."

Manr stroked his beard and said, "I heard that those barbarians are building their own cities deep in the frozen plateau. It seems that they plan to fight our orc empire."

Amada sneered: "That's why I decided to solve this matter myself. For a long time, those barbarians have been scattered in tribes, so they were driven by us arbitrarily. Know how to take advantage of our civil unrest to try to build a nation."

As she said that, a murderous look flashed in her eyes: "Hmph, if I find the guy who is behind the scenes, I must tear him into pieces and swallow him."

Almost at the same time, Sol, who was approaching this side along the trench in the distance, suddenly felt a chill...

"However, these barbarians are very powerful in fighting, and the troops that attacked them before were defeated." Maner said.

Amada nodded: "So let's not let them unite, otherwise, it will be a long-term threat to our orc empire. But this is also a good opportunity to defeat them. Those fools were dazed by the victory. They will leave the frozen plateau and enter our country, as long as we defeat this army, we can take advantage of the situation to attack the frozen plateau and completely destroy their cities."

"Compared to your wisdom, those barbarians are no different from stupid kobolds." Maner lowered his head respectfully: "Your Royal Highness is the well-deserved king of our orcs."

At this moment, Amada suddenly let out a light snort.

Feeling strange, Maner raised his head strangely and followed Amada's gaze. He suddenly saw a griffin in the distance, flying towards the barbarian army that was gradually entering the ambush.

"Where did that griffin come from?" Maner couldn't help being taken aback.

Amada also had a strange expression on her face. She watched the griffins descend, and said, "I've never heard of barbarians taming monsters."

Maner wondered, "Could it be wild?"

Amada shook her head: "Probably not, although it is far away, there seems to be someone up there."

Maner's face changed slightly: "Could someone have discovered our ambush?"

Amada said disdainfully: "It doesn't matter, even if it is too late to find out now, those barbarians have no way to retreat."

As she said that, she hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: "Maer, let my guards also participate in the battle."

Maner was taken aback: "Your Highness, how can this be done, in case something happens..."

Amada waved his hand: "I always feel that the griffin has a very familiar feeling, but I can't remember what it is, which makes me very uneasy. So I want to resolve the battle as soon as possible. They are all Beamon fighters. There's no need to waste your powerful combat power on me, you just need to send a few other tauren to protect me."

Maner breathed a sigh of relief: "I understand."

At this moment, the orc troop responsible for the lure task had entered the predetermined position, and the barbarian army that was chasing with all its strength from behind also arrived at a location convenient for the ambush soldiers to attack.

Seeing that the ambush was about to start, both Amada and Manr couldn't help but stare at the past.

At this time, Berek let out a huge roar, and all the orcs rushed out of the ambush, roaring and rushing towards the flank of the barbarian army.

The barbarians were taken aback, and the formation that was already a bit scattered due to the pursuit became even more chaotic.The barbarians on the side of the impact hurriedly turned around and put on a defensive posture, while the more barbarians in the center of the team were still at a loss.

At the same time, the orc army that served as the bait also turned around and came back.

In an instant, the originally peaceful wilderness was filled with bursts of screams of killing.

The crucial battle that will determine the future of the barbarians has finally begun...

************************************************** *********
Even though they were separated by several kilometers, those loud voices could still be heard clearly in the trench.

Everyone involuntarily stopped and looked up to listen.After a moment of silence, Buck shouted, "Speed ​​up!"

As a result, the barbarians moved quickly again, and the feet of more than 200 people stepped on the thick snow, making a muffled creaking sound.

Buck made a small mistake. The ditch was indeed very hidden, but it was not straight, but had many bends. In addition, the ditch was full of snow, which delayed them a lot.

Seeing that there was already a fight over there, but he was still on the road, Sol couldn't help feeling very anxious.

Fortunately, the barbarian has excellent physical strength. He ran for more than ten kilometers in the thick snow with all his strength, and no one complained of being tired.On the other hand, Sol has already got down on the ground, and has been carried forward by Igna.

Not long after, they reached their destination.Buck waved his hand back to signal everyone to stop, followed by Chip and jumped up to the top of the ditch to observe the situation outside.

The barbarian warriors leaned against the snowdrift behind them, gasping for energy.Everyone subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands, and their eyes showed determination to fight to the death.

In a moment, Chip was back in the trench.

"How is it?" Sol and the others immediately surrounded him.

Chip said calmly: "It's very chaotic up there. Our position should be on the right side of the orcs, but there are battles everywhere, and there may be changes at any time."

"I can't wait anymore, let's do it now." Saul said bluntly.

After waiting for his words for a long time, Igna excitedly took off the longbow on his back.He turned his head, and more than 200 pairs of firm eyes responded to him.

"Come on, let those orcs know how powerful the barbarians are!" Buck held up his spear.

"Oh!" shouted the young savages, leaping from the ditch.

They were tall and tall, almost all of them were over 2 meters tall. They rushed out of the deep trench without any difficulty and rushed to the rear of the orcs.

No wonder Amada was so afraid of the barbarians who were united. Although there were only more than 200 people in the area, they gave off a tidal momentum.As far as the fighting power of the ethnic group is concerned, there are not many ethnic groups in the entire Majna continent that can match it.

At this time, Sol also climbed up with the help of Chip and Kress.

The first thing that caught his eyes was a chaotic battle scene.

In a vast wilderness, orcs and barbarians are fighting desperately. The white snow field is full of dead bodies and blood, and the roars of both sides almost tear the sky apart.

The barbarians armed with Dinard's excellent weapons displayed powerful combat effectiveness. Heavy weapons such as sabers, heavy hammers, and horse-repelling spears exerted their greatest power in their hands.Often when a barbarian warrior makes a move, the strong tauren will be split in half including the weapon.

And the orcs are naturally not weak, they have scarlet eyes, attack desperately, attack, attack again.With the bloodthirsty factor left in the blood of their ancestors, they have completely transformed into terrible beasts.

What's more, there is also the veritable king of the battlefield-the behemoth Behemoth.Dozens of tall Behemoths are like mountains raised among the crowd, condescendingly sweeping down the enemies under their feet, wreaking havoc on the battlefield.

If someone looked down from above, they could see that in a small area at the junction of the frozen plateau and the northern wilderness, the armies of the two races were mingled together like scattered turbulent currents.

This is the highest level of pure physical fighting that human beings can't reach at all.Even the Northern Legion, which had been at war with the orcs for a long time, might feel terrified when they saw this scene.

Just when Sol was shocked by the scene in front of him, Igna and the others had already started.

Pulling the huge longbow full, Igna aimed for a moment, and the next moment the arrow shot out, a tauren in the distance was pierced through the body, and fell down screaming.

Meanwhile, Buck and the barbarian warriors ran past him, yelling, into the rear of the orcs.

Sol naturally wouldn't join this inhuman level of battle, he hid far away, Chip and Kress were on the left and right, faithfully guarding him.

Suffering from the sudden impact, the orcs over there immediately fell into chaos.Relying on the imposing manner of the rainbow, the barbarians seemed to be in no man's land, slashing and killing the panicked orcs, tearing their formation.

And after Vihir's warning, Kante Baker, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately commanded the troops to attack the impacted orcs.

The effect of this raid was obvious, the camp of the orcs began to stir, and the barbarians immediately took advantage of this to regain some of the situation.

It's a pity that their number is small after all, and their weapons are primitive. Some warriors even attack the orcs with wooden sticks.After the initial momentum passed, they soon fell into a bitter battle with the orcs, and could not further increase the results.

Saul couldn't help but sigh a pity.If these 200 people are a good army, if they have good weapons, if there are more people... then the situation on the battlefield will change in one fell swoop, not just the current situation.

However, the orcs came prepared after all, and when Conte Baker heard the news, it was too late to make too many preparations. In addition, the barbarians formed an army in a hurry, and there were still many shortcomings in command.Therefore, even with the surprise attack of Buck and his surprise soldiers, it can only be reconnaissance to recover the disadvantage.

The battle situation began to slowly show a stalemate.

Losing to both sides is not the result Saul wants. After all, the orc population base is much larger, in other words, the resilience is stronger.If the barbarians exhausted this army, the future would be miserable.

He couldn't help turning his head anxiously, how could he help the barbarian again?

At this moment, his eyes fell on a hillside not far away, and he froze immediately.

Amada couldn't imagine why a group of barbarians came out from behind, and she was also very anxious at the moment.Worried about the battle situation, she involuntarily walked to the top of the hillside and watched the battle below, without noticing that her existence had been exposed.

However, Sol was not noticed by Amada because he was below and surrounded by people in all directions.

He couldn't help scolding himself for being an idiot, knowing that it was Amada who was commanding this group of orcs, why didn't he think of capturing the thief first and the king first?

After observing carefully for a while, he found that there were only a few tauren guards around Amada, and he didn't see a Behemoth.After hesitating, Saul decided to take a gamble.

He pointed to the hillside: "Those tauren, can you take care of them?"

Since the great advancement in swordsmanship, Kress has long been full of confidence.After taking a look, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Of course it's no problem."

Chip simply nodded: "Yes."

"Okay." Sol smiled: "Then let's meet an old friend."

Pulling Chip and Kress, the three returned to the ditch and sneaked towards the hillside.
