Chapter 34 In the Woods
Early the next morning, everyone set out on the road again, but this time, there was a dejected and tied up young knight beside them.
Compared to yesterday's bravery, the young knight now looked lifeless, as if he was about to die or face the end of the world.
"Is this the road to Carcassonne?"
"Yes...Sir..."
Facing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, the young knight no longer showed any signs of struggling.
"Okay, lead the way."
"yes……………"
Looking at the listless young knight in front, Alyssa looked confused.
"It's strange, why is he so obedient all of a sudden? I thought he would continue to contradict the Black Knight."
"Hahaha, this...this is because..."
Hearing Alyssa's doubts, the elf scout opened his mouth to explain with a look that was just enjoying the fun.
"When this guy woke up, he seemed ashamed that he wet his pants and fainted after being scared by the Black Knight. He kept saying that he was not worthy of becoming a knight favored by the goddess, so he swore to the Black Knight to become his slave...
…”
"Huh? But doesn't he regard the Black Knight as a devil?"
"That's right, so what he said at the time was, 'Having lost the favor of the goddess, I no longer have the face to pursue her, so let me become a member of the devil!'"
"………Aha……………"
Alyssa was confused when she heard the elf scout's description. She didn't understand what kind of brain circuit this was. You must know that when Alyssa was kidnapped by the followers of the evil god, she was absolutely unwilling to become their sacrifice.
Therefore, even if she is killed by Duanmu Huai, she is not willing to let those evil god believers succeed. But now this young knight is so ashamed that he wants to become the devil's lackey just because he is scared to death?
"Obviously he was very brave yesterday..."
"This is how hot it will be in three minutes."
The elf scout waved his hand.
"Just like us scouts, everyone thinks it's fun to live in the forest and track prey. But when you actually hide in the forest, you won't be able to make a sound even if you are bitten by mosquitoes. You will be hunted by wild beasts, and you may even die in obscurity.
It's another thing when you become food for wild beasts."
After saying this, the elf scout curled his lips.
"Like that guy, he probably heard some nonsense stories about knights fighting dragons bravely, and thought that he could defeat the dragon, obtain countless treasures, and then marry a beautiful princess, so he immediately went out to travel.
This kind of person can't even see the shadow of the evil dragon, so he was probably killed by some rat-man or something like that."
"That's it..."
After listening to what the elf scout said, Alyssa was also confused. She and Kristen looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Some young people do."
At this time, the old knight Cardo also nodded.
"Many of my recruits at the time thought knights in armor were very handsome. In their imaginations, knights were heroes who rode tall horses, wore shining armor, were respected by people, and were admired by beautiful women.
."
"But isn't that what Mr. Cardo is like?"
Alyssa looked curiously at the old knight, who smiled and waved his hand.
"Hahaha, thank you for the compliment, young lady, but this is only one aspect of knights. In fact, knights also need to undergo very strict training. Not only must they learn to ride horses and kill enemies, they must also learn how to survive in the wild... In fact, many people
There are many people who can't stand the training of rolling in the mud, and run away crying, "This is not the knight I want to be."
"That's it..."
Although it may be the first time for nobles like Alyssa and Christine to meet people like the young knight, but for the elf scouts and old knights, they have seen too many similar people.
"Um?"
At this moment, suddenly, the Elf Scout's ears twitched, and then she raised her head and looked forward.
"Black Knight, did you hear that?"
"Well, there were sounds of fighting, and I heard them too."
Facing the elf scout's inquiry, Duanmuhuai also nodded. His detector also captured the sound of weapons clashing in the distance, so Duanmuhuai immediately turned on the holographic projection and then zoomed in again. Soon, under the holographic image,
In the middle, everyone saw a group of carriages being attacked.
What attacked them was a group of green-skinned, tall monsters.
"Wow, it's an orc..."
Seeing this scene, the elf scout showed an unabashed expression of disgust, and Duanmu Huai also nodded. He also understood very well why the elf scout showed such an expression.
Green-skinned orcs are also a very troublesome creature, and their destructive power is even higher than that of rat-men. If the actions of rat-men have some goals, then the goals of green-skinned orcs are very simple.
The three cycles of destruction, looting, and killing.
For the green skins, the most important thing in this world is happiness, and happiness means fighting, whether it is fighting with one's own people or fighting with outsiders, as long as there is a fight, they are happy, and if there is no fight, they are not happy. So they
Either he is fighting or he is on the way to fight.
Not only that, it is also very difficult to completely eliminate these green skins, because strictly speaking they are not animals, but a fungal plant... yes, the kind that can photosynthesize.
This is also the way green-skinned orcs reproduce. They reproduce not by giving birth, but by growing out of the ground like plants.
As the saying goes - if I plant one greenskin in the spring, I will harvest a bunch of small greenskins in the fall... Its reproductive capacity can even rival that of the Tyranids that dominate the universe.
The green-skinned orc is not in the Chaos camp, but it is not in the Order camp either. To put it bluntly, it just wants to fight. Anyone who enters its field of vision is its opponent. When there are outsiders, it will fight outsiders, and when there are no outsiders, it will fight itself.
Man. To be honest, Bretonnia, a small country, can resist the attack of the northern orcs. It is really... difficult for it.
"Do you need help?"
"Of course, after all, here, one more friend and one more path."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai clenched his war hammer and stared at the young knight next to him.
"Hey, kid."
"I mean! What, what's going on?"
"Come with me to fight the orcs."
"Wait? Wait? Orc? Why??"
"Huh? Didn't you swear to be my loyal subordinate? Then as a despicable devil, isn't it normal for me to let you die first? Leave quickly! Otherwise I will smash your head!"
"meaning-----!"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's threat, the young knight immediately cried and followed Duanmu Huai with his long sword.
When Duanmu Huai arrived with the reluctant knights, the battle situation had already begun to develop in a direction that was unfavorable to the caravan. The orcs roared and began to compress the caravan's defense line, which was already shaky and unsustainable.
.
"Go, get in quickly!"
Duanmuhuai kicked the young knight, glared at him and issued the order. The latter held the long sword with a pale face and looked at the group of green-skinned orcs not far away, trembling all over.
"No, no, no way...I can't fight so many..."
"It's useless, what use do you have?"
Duanmu Huai glanced at the young knight in displeasure, then he clenched the war hammer, jumped up, blasted air from his jetpack, and brought Duanmu Huai down to the orcs at high speed!!
"boom!!!"
Duanmu Huai fell from the sky and smashed directly into the orc army. The orcs who were attacked hurriedly turned their heads and looked at the warrior who was taller than them. Almost all the orcs' eyes lit up!
Compared to those cowards hiding behind trucks, this is the opponent they want!!
"WAAAAAAAAAGH!!!"
