Lord Chronicle

Chapter 171 Wolf Clan Rebellion
shuh…

Amidst the sound of the wind, Simba folded his wings and carried Vihir to the ground.

"How is it?" Saul greeted him.

Vihir said dejectedly: "Those orcs are still following, but our troops have disappeared."

"This is terrible..." Sol scratched his head, turned to Chip and asked, "Chip, do you know where this is?"

Chip shook his head and said, "I don't know, but what is certain is that we are getting farther and farther away from the frozen plateau."

Let's start from four days ago. After successfully disturbing the orcs with Amada, they chose to run for their lives in the face of the orcs who vowed to take back the princess.It's just that at that time, everyone thought it was just a temporary escape.

Unexpectedly, those orcs are all single-minded, and they don't care that they are also being chased by the barbarians, chasing after Sol and his party desperately, without giving them a chance to breathe.

So Thor and the others could only continue to run, the orcs continued to chase, and the barbarians continued to kill.

After chasing after them, the orcs were gradually wiped out by the barbarians, but Thor and the others were in a panic, not only completely separated from the barbarian brigade, but also lost their way in the vast northern wilderness.

What's even more frightening is that Berek brought dozens of orcs, and they have been doggedly chasing after him...

In the past few days, Sol seemed to have returned to the days when he escaped from Fang City. He was exhausted every day, and even when he slept, he had to be wary of whether the orcs would catch up.

Fortunately, Chip, Kress, and Vihir all have strong physical strength and resilience. With their support, Sol will not die of exhaustion on the way.

But now that he is separated from the brigade, and he doesn't know where he is, it's not an option to continue like this.After all, this is the territory of the orcs, and they still have a sensitive person named Amada.

After several days of fleeing for her life, Amada is no longer depressed.Seeing Sol's annoyed look at this moment, she giggled and said, "You're right, Barrick is indeed a good subordinate."

Sol glared at her angrily: "Yeah, I also want to thank him for sending all the orcs to hell."

Hearing what he said, Amada's expression turned ugly.Obviously, Barrick's "achievements" still haven't made her feel relieved.

"What now?" Kress asked.

Sol sighed: "It is probably impossible to go back to the frozen plateau. The only hope now is to return to Dinar from the isolation zone."

Although the journey is far away, since we can't retreat, we have to bite the bullet and move forward.

"It will take you across half of the northern wilderness, I hope you have the strength to go there." Amada said sarcastic remarks on the side.

Sol snorted: "Don't worry, I will definitely take you with me. If there is no food on the way, I don't mind being the first person to taste the taste of Beamon meat."

If it wasn't for you, how could I be in such a miserable situation?It's a pity that it's too late to leave her behind at this time, so I can only take her with me as a last resort just in case.

Not knowing if she was afraid of his threat, Amada turned her face away and stopped talking.

Saul said to Vihir apologetically, "I'm sorry, even you have to suffer with us."

Vihir shook his head: "Master Saul, what are you talking about? You are doing this for us barbarians. I believe that Lord Contebaker must also be looking for you, and we will be saved."

"I hope so." Sol smiled wryly.

The savages are no more familiar with the northern wilderness than I am, and don't know where to wander at this time.But things have come to this point, it's too late to say anything, we can only work hard to survive.

After resting for a while, the group quickly erased the traces left by the camp, and escorted Amada to continue the escape.

****************************************************************
a few days later.

"Okay, they're gone."

Seeing a group of several hundred tauren warriors rushing past under the mound, Kip retracted his head.

After deciding to cross the isolation belt and return to Dinar, the group fled eastward, and entered the hinterland of the northern wilderness a few days later.

The orc empire is vast and sparsely populated, and most of the land is very empty, but there are still many orc tribes living in the central area of ​​the northern wilderness.So this section of the road is the most dangerous area.

Fortunately, after a series of consumption such as civil strife, the territory of the Orc Empire was not peaceful. Many places where troops were stationed were destroyed in the war, avoiding the danger of people being intercepted.

Coupled with the small target of a group of five people, and Chip, an expert in anti-reconnaissance, after successfully avoiding several orc bandits, they haven't encountered any more trouble so far.

However, since the day before yesterday, everyone has noticed that the activities of the orcs in the vicinity have increased significantly.From time to time, a troop of orcs hurried past, not knowing where they were going.

What's even more strange is that they even encountered several groups of orcs who migrated together with the whole group.They were in a hurry and looked flustered, as if they were avoiding something.

"Are they chasing us?" Sol, who kept beating his legs behind the mound, asked.

Chip shook his head: "It doesn't look like it. We have encountered several orc troops in the past few days, but they all have clear destinations, and they don't look like they are searching."

Sol teased Amada: "It seems that no one cares about your disappearance at all."

After being held hostage for so many days, Amada seemed to have resigned to her fate. She snorted, "Isn't this a good thing for you?"

But things are really strange, Amada has been robbed for so many days, except for Berek and his party who are still doggedly tracking them, there is no other orcs to join in the siege and interception, so Sol and the others can escape safely until now.

Was Beric too stupid to ask the nearby orcs for help?Or did something more important happen to distract those orcs from looking for Amada?
Amada obviously thought of this too, these days she changed her composure to go with the situation, although the surface was still the same as usual, but the obvious anxiety could already be seen in her eyes.

"Anyway, it's always a good thing that no one is chasing us, so we can get to the isolation zone as soon as possible," Kress said.

Sol nodded, he stood up and took two limping steps, then sat down with a grin.

"Master Saul, does your leg still hurt?" Vihir asked worriedly.

After all, unlike the few of them who have inhuman physical strength and have escaped on foot day and night, Sol has reached his limit.Since yesterday, his legs have started to hurt, and today it is even more difficult to take a step.

So from the morning, he could only summon Simba to ride on it, led by Vihir.But summoned beasts cannot stay in the real space unlimitedly. Although Sol has a special talent in this area, after all, he needs to use mental power to maintain it, so he has to put it into the ring in the afternoon.

But they can't just run for half a day?At this time, he faced the question of how Saul should go.

Chip needs to explore the way forward, while Kress needs to bet on Amada, so...

"Master Saul, let me carry you." Vihir said.

Sol was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands: "Uh, no need."

Although Sol has a thick skin, he never minds being carried by a woman.But after these days of observation, although Vihir's physical strength is good, it is enough for himself. If he carries him on his back for a long time, he will definitely not be able to bear it. I am afraid that the two of them will not be able to walk by then.

"But your legs..." Vihir continued.

At this time, Sol began to miss the winged horse very much. Just when he was wondering whether to find a wooden stick as a crutch, Chip's face suddenly changed: "Don't talk!"

"What's the matter?" Sol was startled, did Barrick catch up?
Chip didn't answer, but took a few steps up the mound, and then waved to them.

Strangely, Sol and the others crawled to his side, and were stunned by the scene before them.

Wolf cavalry!
There are thousands of wolf cavalry, running quickly from a distance.

Because the feet of war wolves have thick pads, they run silently. The wolf knights on their backs hugged their bodies tightly and said nothing. The whole team looked like a silent and murderous dark cloud.

Under the watchful eyes of several people, these wolf cavalry swept across the mound like a whirlwind, and chased in the direction where the tauren ran just now.

Watching the wolf cavalry disappear at the end of their field of vision, the people on the mound were still too surprised to speak.

Aren't the rebellious werewolves compressed in their lair?Why are there so many wolf cavalry in the hinterland of the orc empire?
Could it be that the troops that have been hastily mobilized these days, and the orcs who migrated with their families, have something to do with them?
What happened to the Beastman Empire?

Amada, who has been silently watching all this, has a very complicated expression on her face.She bit her lip tightly, her gaze changed several times, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Oh my god, it's really spectacular." Thor breathed a sigh of relief.

Vihir's face turned pale: "Fortunately, we didn't meet him."

The fur of the war wolf is very thick, and it can completely adapt to the severe cold of the frozen plateau, so the wolf knights have always been the main force for the orcs to invade the barbarians. Vihir is very familiar with their ferocity.

The rebellion of the werewolves caused the wolf cavalry to leave the army of the orc empire, which was also one of the reasons why the orcs suffered repeated setbacks on the frozen plateau this time.

Chip said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong, we'd better leave quickly."

Those wolf cavalry moved like the wind, once they smelled a clue, it was not so easy to escape.

They didn't hesitate anymore, and now Vihir supported Sol, and the group left quickly.

However, what happened next was something they could never have expected.

************************************************** ****************
A few hours later, near dusk, Thor and his party ran into the group of tauren again.

However, this time it was a pile of horrible corpses.

What was presented in front of the five people was a terrifying scene of massacre.The corpses of hundreds of tauren were scattered in the open wasteland. The blood flowed like a river, and there were broken limbs everywhere. There was a strong smell of blood in the air.

Most of these tauren were quickly slashed to death with sharp knives, and some corpses still had traces of teeth biting or even being swallowed, which made people's scalp numb.

This is in line with the wolf cavalry's habit of feeding the wolves with the corpses of the enemy on the spot, and it is obvious that they are the murderers.

Sol and the others fled in the opposite direction to the tauren, but encountered a battlefield here. Obviously, those wolf cavalry drove the tauren here, and massacred them after their physical strength was exhausted.

Although it was the enemy who died, looking at the corpses all over the ground, Sol and the others couldn't help but feel a little sad, and Amada was even more silent.

The resolute Chip was much calmer. He said to Vihir, "Quickly search around and find as much food and medicine as possible. We have to leave quickly to avoid running into those wolf cavalry."

Vihir nodded, endured his nausea, walked into the pile of corpses, and started searching with Chip.

Having been in Mojina for so long, and having experienced a lot on the battlefield, Sol has already trained his strong nerves.He stood on the edge with Amada, who was being escorted by Kress, and couldn't help thinking wildly.

It seems that the orc empire is in trouble again, but what is going on is still unclear.According to the general cliché, at this time, you will find someone to live on the battlefield, so that the protagonist can understand the ins and outs of the matter, but those wolf cavalry are so thorough, it shouldn't be...

"Ah, there's still a living one here!" Unexpectedly, before he could finish thinking, Verhill exclaimed not far away.

Boom... Thor nearly fell over.

"Lord, what's wrong with you?" Kress quickly supported him.

Sol didn't know what to think for a moment, so he could only say, "I, I'm fine, let's go and have a look."

When Saul and the others walked over, Vihir was struggling to drag a tauren out of the pile of corpses.His stomach was cut, and all the tripe and liver fell out, but this guy's vitality is quite tenacious, and he is still panting low at this time.

Chip slapped him across the face. "Can you still talk?"

The tauren looked at them inexplicably: "Why... why are they human?"

"Hey, stop being racist now, and tell us what happened," Saul told him.

Amada also leaned over: "Do you recognize me? I am Uroel's younger sister, Amada."

Seeing Amada, the tauren's eyes lit up, and he coughed and spat out blood: "Princess Amada, you...why are you with these humans..."

"Don't worry about it so much, tell me, what happened?" Amada showed the authority of the orc princess.

The tauren nodded: "It's Verona, the werewolves are attacking us."

Amada was startled, then frowned and said, "Haven't the werewolf been under surveillance all the time, why is this happening?"

The tauren said with difficulty: "After failing to attack Broken Sword Gorge Fortress, we lost a lot of troops, but His Majesty Uroel sent his troops to the frozen plateau to attack those barbarians, but...but suffered successive failures."

"I know this, tell me quickly, why did the werewolves invade the hinterland of the empire?" Amada said impatiently.

The tauren continued: "Continuous failures have caused a serious shortage of military strength. His Majesty Uroel believes that the werewolf is no longer a threat, so, so not long ago, he transferred the army that besieged the werewolf away..."

"That idiot!" Amada was shocked and angry: "How can you transfer the troops to fight werewolves!"

The tauren nodded: "Clan Chief Moro said the same thing, but His Majesty Uroer issued several orders in a row, and the patriarch had to follow... Then, things got out of hand, and Verona took advantage of Patriarch Moro's withdrawal. , struck suddenly from behind, routed his troops, and entered the heart of the wasteland."

As he spoke, fear appeared on his face: "Those wolf cavalry are like ghosts, constantly attacking our troops and massacring small tribes scattered in the wasteland. Now the empire is in panic, and there is no way to suppress those werewolves."

Unexpectedly, such an accident happened to the Orc Empire during their escape, and Thor didn't know whether to be thankful or sigh for poor Uroel.

Amada's complexion changed, she said anxiously: "Where is brother, what is brother doing?"

The tauren's breathing suddenly accelerated, and it was obvious that his life was not long: "His Majesty Uroel organized an army to fight Verona once, but...but he was still defeated, and now he is retreating in the city of fangs..."

Hearing this, even Sol began to feel sorry for the hapless beast king.

Things are already very clear. After the civil war, the failure to attack Broken Sword Gorge Fortress, and the fiasco on the frozen plateau, the once mighty Orc Empire has exhausted its strength.

However, the stupid Uroel still mobilized his troops indiscriminately, and finally released the devil Verona.

Now the powerful wolf cavalry is rampant in the orc empire, but Uroel has no army to stop them.It has to be said that making this guy the Beast King was the worst decision the Beastmen made.

However, while Sol was feeling emotional, he never thought about the main reasons that brought the orc empire to this point, whether it was the rebellion in Verona, or the fiasco of the orcs in Broken Sword Gorge Fortress and the Frozen Plateau. single-handedly.

In other words, the orcs have come to this point, and they are absolutely inseparable from him.To put it more seriously, it is no exaggeration to say that this guy is the god of plague in the life of orcs.

When Thor didn't consciously lament the orc's misfortune, Amada closed the eyes of the dead tauren, and was also in a daze.

"What about the orcs has nothing to do with us. We have collected enough food, let's go." At this time, Kip urged.

Suddenly, Amada stood up: "Sol, I want to make a deal with you."

"Huh?" Saul didn't respond for a while.

However, Vihir said beforehand: "You are our prisoner now, what qualifications do you have to negotiate a deal?"

Ignoring her, Amada said to Sol, "Don't you want to hear it?"

At this time, Sol also came back to his senses, and waved his hand to signal Vihir not to get excited. He said with interest: "I remember the last time I made a deal with you, I almost lost my life in Fang City. This time you What do you want to do?"

Amada ignored Saul's sarcasm: "I can safely take you to the isolation zone, or even the Broken Sword Gap Fortress, within three days, on the condition that you let me go when the time comes."

Sol was taken aback: "You really have a way?"

Amada nodded: "Believe it or not. Now there are wolf cavalry roaming around, your luck will run out sooner or later. I know a way that can safely send you to the isolation zone, and it only takes a short time .”

Seeing her affirmation, Saul couldn't help hesitating.As Amada said, they are now in a very dangerous situation. They don't know the way, and they are alone. Once they encounter wolf cavalry, they will only die.

Besides, the kidnapping of Amada was just to disturb the orcs, and there was no reason why she had to be killed, so if she can really return to Broken Sword Gorge Fortress, it doesn't matter if she is released.

However, is Amada trustworthy?
Saul knew this seemingly harmless little girl very well.She is definitely a ruthless character, saying that she will lead them to a safe route, and maybe push them into a death trap in the blink of an eye.

"Master Saul, don't believe her, the orcs are all treacherous guys." Vihir said anxiously.

Due to the feud with the orcs, Vihir had an instinctive dislike for Amada.

With a wry smile, Saul turned to Kress and Chip: "What do you think?"

Kress said carelessly: "You are the lord, it's up to you to decide."

Chip said: "No matter what you decide, I will follow to the death."

"That's good!" Saul gritted his teeth, "I promise you."

"Master Saul, how could you..." Vihir was taken aback.

Sol waved his hand: "She's right, under the current circumstances, we can't go very far, so we can only gamble once."

Seeing that Saul had made up his mind, Vihir had no choice but to give up persuading him.She turned her head and said fiercely to Amada: "I will keep watching you, if you dare to lie to us, I will let you die first!"

Amada smiled slightly: "Don't worry, if a werewolf finds out, I won't be able to escape, so I have no reason to lie."

Follow her and turn to the left: "Let's go, we still have a long way to go before we reach our destination."

Sol suddenly said behind her: "Aren't you afraid that I will break the contract then?"

Amada turned her head when she heard the words: "You know? You are a very unpredictable guy. I used to think that I
Smarter than you, but then I found out I was wrong.Then I thought I was meaner than you, but then I found out that I was still wrong. "

Not understanding why she said this suddenly, Saul felt embarrassed: "Uh... well, I think there should be a little misunderstanding..."

Amada smiled and said, "However, you and I are completely different people. So if it's something you promised, I will fully believe you."

"So, we can't fully trust you?" Vihir snorted.

Amada squeezed her eyes slyly: "You can say that. But don't worry, I won't play tricks this time."

Following the words of Verhir, who was impatient, she had already turned around and walked forward.

Feeling that after such a long time, he still had nothing to do with this woman, Sol could only shake his head, and followed helplessly.
