Chapter 35 The Battle Around a Fire Part 1
In history, Aribes was a crazy and hot Avenger, while now Aribes is a calm and cruel executioner. Because Aribes had nothing, she now has an extra brother, which has become the focus of her life.
When the panicked orcs took their homes to leave their burning homes and walked towards the dark forest in the snow. However, Eribes did not chase after them as they thought, but stayed in the orc village. She pushed down several houses in a row. After ensuring that enough wood was left, Sister A carefully picked a hidden place, ate something, and fell asleep peacefully against the hot wall...
No matter how heavy the wind and snow are, it cannot cover up the traces of hundreds of people walking through. Besides, the corpses that were frozen to death and injured along the way are the best signs. Eribes is not worried about losing them at all... Moreover, those orcs may not be able to make up their minds and fly away!
People have a mentality of luck, let alone orcs.
Sure enough, ten hours later, when the snowy sky turned slightly white, the orcs came back in circles... They ran around in the dark woods in the heavy snow that night, and nearly half of the orcs who were frozen to death and missing were frozen. The orcs who were escaping and leaving the large army obviously could not survive. The winter without the winter forest was so cruel, it would be difficult to survive without a group.
Although there are trees everywhere here, people who have grown up by the forest should know a little common sense, that is, living trees are wet, trees will store moisture in their bodies during winter and drop leaves to reduce moisture evaporation - this kind of wood cannot be used to make fires. There is only the exception of birch trees, which are oily and are easily ignited.
It takes at least half a year for other trees to become dry firewood that can be burned after being cut down.
So you see, the northerners split logs into wooden petals with the same length and length, and zip them into hills along the wall. The main purpose is not to facilitate access, but to dry the moisture in the firewood.
The primeval forest nearby was already messed up by orcs. The orcs were lazy. All the small trees as thick as bowls near the village were cut down by them. The rest were thicker than their waists, and some people could even hug each other. How could such trees be used to burn fire?
Finally, I dug some dead branches from the snow and barely dealt with them in the middle of the night. The strong and more powerful ones were in the inner circle, and the thin and weak ones were on the outside. When the sky was light, dozens of them were buried by heavy snow, and then the orc tribe fell into division. A small number of orcs firmly yearned for escape from further away, but most orcs were still concerned about the little family fortune in the village and were reluctant to leave, and finally came back in circles.
Seeing the villages with black smoke but warm, thinking about the food that might be thrown everywhere, the orcs began to secrete saliva... The strong orcs accelerated their pace beyond the brigade.
However... "swoosh"!
An animal bone arrow shot steadily into the eye sockets of the leading orc!
"Ho roar roar~!" The arrow was taken out fiercely! The orc roared and swung his eyes and arrow casually, and raised the wheel axe! The orcs were afraid of being attacked by despicable sneak attacks, but the orcs were never afraid of head-on battles!
However, "Puchi!" A steel arrow that followed penetrated the orc's throat strongly... If you have the ability, do you continue to yell?
But this arrow did not deter the orcs, but instead stimulated their ferociousness. "They are not many, kill them! Eat them!" More orcs pulled out their weapons and charged towards the village! After a frustrating night, the orcs urgently need to vent!
****
Arrebeth fights and retreats.
She didn't need to fight against these orcs.
On the one hand, I was cold and hungry and exhausted, all relying on the fierce support of the momentary inspiration; on the other hand, I had enough rest and had enough energy to collect orc arrows to supplement long-range weapons, and made arrangements in the village early to wait for work.
More than twenty orcs were shot to death on the charge road, and more than a dozen were accidentally killed by traps. When the orcs rushed into the village, they found that the hateful "little short" had run away again!
But the orcs didn't care, they began to cheer loudly, "Victory!"
"The enemy has run away, only one is left, and the orcs are not afraid!" The orcs rushing into the village cheered, like a warrior who won the battle. In the eyes of the orcs, it doesn't matter at all, and they will kill them with two fingers - they will never admit that there was only one attacker last night!
It would not be admitted that most of the casualties and injuries in an orc village of hundreds of people were caused by themselves... Since the shadow of Arrebeth was not found for the time being, the winning warriors felt that they were qualified to enjoy the spoils - fill their stomachs with those unburned foods!
So the leading group of orcs dispersed and no one chased Sister A at all.
All the orcs rushed into the surrounding ruins and frantically searched for food and stuffed them into their mouths!
After running all night, they were already hungry! Besides, even if they were not smart, they knew that the remaining food was definitely not enough for everyone to eat. So it would be better to let yourself eat enough and last a few more days!
Arrebes ran out of the village without breathing, and she retreated while observing. After seeing this situation, she immediately turned around and killed several orcs, using bows and arrows to kill several orcs in succession. Anyway, the orcs had no accurate head when they were more than 20 steps away. It would be better to use it directly if they were carrying weights on their backs! As a result, the orcs did not resist at all... When the orcs were eating, they saw their "companions" lying in front of them, and at most they shrank behind the wall without blinking!
Pick up a weapon to resist? Haha, it’s impossible. It’s impossible to pick up a light weapon before eating! You can kill it casually, so I won’t lose if I don’t continue eating!
Behind them, more than a hundred orcs were about to rush into the village. They really didn't think that an elf could make any big waves. If you let it go, you could kill a few of them? Nothing matters is important at this time! If Sister A was fighting with a sword, they might even swing a stick. But Sister A stood far away and shot with a bow and arrow. When she wanted to chase her, she might be able to catch up. Forget it...
As a result, the orcs followed the idea of the next group of orcs was similar to the ones before. When they saw that the strong were eating food, their eyes turned red!
There is only one idea left in my narrow mind. Snatch it! Eat it! If you don’t grab it, you will be eaten up!
In fact, the winter food stored in a village - whether it is an animal or a human corpse - even if it is burned, saving it together can at least allow these orcs to survive for more than ten days! After all, although the food is low, the number of orcs is reduced by more than half, and they can withstand this blizzard.
But when a group of orcs were crazy and started to snatch them, each of them just wanted to eat good food! The undesirable grains were spilled all over the ground and trampled into mud, while the orcs bit the meat side tightly! As the first orcs lost their minds, the red-eyed orcs began to gasp, chopping wildly while continuing to stuff things into their mouths... A melee for food broke out!
Eribes, who was left aside, shot the orc arrow but no one paid attention to her. She finally had to spread her hands and turn around and leave.
You guys continue, I'll wait for you to finish the fight.
Chapter completed!
