Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Ellendor lay down on the grass, moving his body carefully, trying to ensure that he did not make any noises because of his movements.Ryan followed Allendo closely, keeping a distance of about five meters from him.A few hundred meters away, Xiao Bai pressed his body tightly to the ground, using his sensitive hearing to alert Ryan and Allendo.

After spending two hours crawling a distance of more than 40 meters, Allendo successfully crossed an open field and came to a small hillside.After a few minutes, Ryan also came to this hillside, lying next to Allendo.This is a very low hillside, which is as high as one person at most. If it were not on the northern prairie, even the term "hillside" would be reluctant.

Allendo raised his head slightly and looked around to make sure that no one found him. Then he leaned his body out of the hillside and carefully checked the campsite about 20 meters below the hillside.This is a very simple camp. It is built on the south side of this hillside. With the help of this hillside, it can barely block the cold air from the north.

The camp is surrounded by woods of different lengths. These wooden sticks, which can only reach the waist of an adult, are all decayed in appearance.Although there are ropes between the sticks and sticks, the gap between them is still enough to pass through a thin person.

Several old orcs were busying around the bonfire in the center of the camp. On the bonfire stood a washed and stripped taron. The two young orcs were almost pushing a wheel next to them with their whole body strength, through the rotation of the wheel. , So that the Taron bull kept tumbling on the campfire.

Allen had a lot of it. There were six cowhide tents in the camp. Based on the calculation of 8 people in one tent, the number of people in this camp should not exceed 50, which is probably a strengthened team.It was noon at this time, but there were no people in the camp of the orcs. Ryan and Allendo waited for a while and found that basically the seven or eight orcs were coming and going in the camp.These orcs were constantly busy and did not relax for a moment, but outside the camp, they did not even do the basic guards, as if they were very relieved of the safety here.

Ryan and Allendor didn't dare to care, they waited for a long time in the same place, but still no other orcs were found. This disappointed Ryan and Allendor. It seemed that those orcs might have gone on patrol.This is the area where the orcs and wolf cavalry are active. This camp is probably where one of the wolf cavalry units rests at night.

Ten days ago, Ryan and Ellendor set off from Thor's Fortress and began the mission of "intelligence collection". Unlike the general mercenary group, Ryan and the others did not choose a straight line to get the reward of the task and went north. , But adopted a spiral approach.They first carefully surveyed the area 40 kilometers north of Thor Fortress, and selected a few concealable locations to conceal their whereabouts, and then figured out the approximate route of the orcs patrolling according to the time, and then it was the easiest way to wait for the orcs in the early morning. Time to relax your vigilance and cross their cordon.

These methods have not been used by other mercenary groups, but only Ryan and Allendo have done the most beautiful.The reason is quite simple, because they have only two people, while the other mercenary groups are as few as seven or eight people, and most are two or thirty people.With such a large number of people, I'm afraid that the enemy will see it from a distance on the wide prairie, so what kind of secret infiltration is there?In addition, as a druid, Allendo had a unique advantage in the natural environment, and he was able to find the enemy's traces from a distance, thus avoiding the fate of being discovered in his tracks.

After Ryan and his party left Thor, they drew a rough terrain drawing based on what they saw along the way, but even Ryan knew that this rough and simple thing might not be of much use.After such a long adventure, Ryan spent some time in the imperial capital with the Orlando General and others. He had some military knowledge and understood that the real purpose of the Thor Fortress garrison and their "intelligence collection" mission was to be able to obtain the details of the orcs. The key point is the deployment of orc forces or similar information, otherwise the detailed topographical map is only a reference, because the garrison of the Thor Fortress cannot leave the fortress to fight in North Taron.

But Ryan also understood the concerns of the garrison in Thor's Fortress. If they clearly pointed out this point in the mission, no one would dare to come.Mercenaries can risk their lives to complete tasks, as long as they are well paid, because this is what they do best.But if they want them to directly investigate the movement of the orc army, it is better to let them hunt and kill a powerful monster.Even the well-trained scouts in Thor Fortress have never returned, let alone mercenaries who are not good at these things themselves?

In the orc camp, the young orc said a few words loudly, and immediately two old orcs walked over and lifted the taron bull on the campfire, and then the two old orcs worked together. Another tarun sheep was washed and peeled and placed on the bonfire.

Only then did Ryan remember that he had been here for a long time, and when he first came, the taran cow could be roasted on the fire.Thinking of this, Ryan retracted his thoughts and wandered around the entire orc camp.Soon, Ryan's gaze fell on a corner of the camp, where the pile of firewood taller than a person was stacked, attracting Ryan's attention.

Those firewood are the driest and most combustible good firewood. It is reasonable to say that when the orcs are grilling beef, they should get those firewood, but the orcs did not move. It would rather take more effort to go. Use those fresh branches and grass blades that are still a bit moist, as if these firewood does not exist.

Ryan's heart suddenly moved. He remembered that when he was in Thor fortress a few days ago, he heard Bart talk about the method of transmitting signals on the grassland during a small talk, that is, "using smoke during the day and fire at night".

The pile of dry wood in front of him, Ryan had reason to believe that it was a signal transmission tool for the orcs.As long as this camp is attacked by the enemy, there will be orcs lighting the pile of firewood in the first place, so the orcs and wolf cavalry patrolling nearby and other camps can immediately send personnel to support it.Even if the enemy is strong and all the orcs in this camp are killed, enough clues can be left for other orcs to continue hunting down the infiltrating human scouts. This should be the cause of the annihilation of the other mercenary groups.

Ryan shook his head slightly. They had already surveyed four camps like the one in front of him in the past two days. There was one every ten kilometers. This also meant that there was a wolf cavalry squad on patrol every ten kilometers.With such a density of patrols, in Ryan’s impression, even during the Royal Tournament, the human capital Fernando City is also inferior. What exactly do the orcs want to hide?Such a huge army was actually used.

"How is it?" Ellendor asked in a small voice in Ryan's ear: "The number of people here is the least among these camps. Should we take the risk?"

Ryan hesitated and said, "It's all old people and children, I can't do it!"

"Oh!" Ellendor also shook his head. Isn't he?

"Let's do it," Ryan came up with a compromise, and he whispered to Ellendor: "Let’s find a place to rest and see if it’s possible to dive a little further in the evening, maybe some distance north, What can be discovered is not necessarily true."

"That can only be the case." Allendo agreed to Ryan's proposal.

Although the war is cruel, Ryan and Allendo are unwilling to slaughter civilians, even a race facing non-human beings.They observed the surroundings here, ready to leave here quietly, looking for a safe place to wait for dark.

At this moment, a young orc in the orc camp suddenly yelled a few words, which shocked Ryan and Ellendore. They thought their whereabouts were discovered, and quickly pressed their bodies to the ground. , While paying attention to the surrounding movement, while watching the shouting orc vigilantly.

I saw the orc camp when the other three young orcs shouted loudly together, dropping what they were doing, and ran out of the camp, the orc who shouted first got into a tent.Elendo had put the weapon "sharp claw" in his hand, ready to transform and attack at any time, and Ryan was also ready to fight.

When no one expected, the orcs did not look at where Ryan was hiding, but ran to the open space outside the camp and waited. After less than a minute, the orc who got into the tent was holding a circle. The thing ran out and came to the side of the other young orcs.The orc threw the round thing in his hand under his feet and kicked his companion.

Accompanied by cheers one after another, the four young orcs happily kicked the round thing and played happily in the open space outside the camp.Ryan and Alando felt relieved. It turned out that it was not their whereabouts being exposed, but these orcs could not bear the hard work and began to play some kind of game.

Ryan was even curious, what are the orcs kicking?He moved his eyesight and looked carefully in the direction of the young orcs, but when he saw clearly what those orcs were kicking, his whole body immediately became stiff and his body began to tremble slightly, and Ryan closed tightly. I didn’t feel any pain even if I had bitten my lips.

Ellendo, who was lying next to Ryan, was shocked. It was the first time he saw Ryan's appearance. What made him so angry?Elendo followed Ryan's gaze and found that the round thing that those young orcs were kicking was a bloody human head!Although the face of the human head cannot be seen clearly, its very obvious features still indicate that it is a human head!
