Joey faced death without fear.

The bearded man had a mission to complete.

Will, however, became the only one who still had to struggle a little longer.

"@~……&*￥%#!"

The orc who had charged to the front had already raised his giant axe. He shouted and was about to bring the axe down on Will's head.

"ah!"

Will roared and swung his pickaxe.

"call out!"

An arrow suddenly flew out from behind Will and struck the orc in front of him right between the eyebrows.

Before the orc could understand what was happening, his legs buckled and he knelt down in front of Will, his giant axe falling from his hand.

Will's pickaxe missed its target, and he stumbled as well.

This sudden change made Joey turn around and look behind him. Only the bearded man was still digging the hole with great effort. It seemed that as long as the hole wasn't finished, he wouldn't care if the sky outside collapsed.

"call out!"

"call out!"

"call out!"

"call out!"

Four more arrows shot from the direction they had come from, but Joey didn't see anything when he turned around. The arrows came from the distant woods, and he couldn't quite figure out who had come to his aid at this moment.

Will looked at the four orcs who had fallen in front of him and felt a sense of relief, as if he had survived a disaster.

He threw down his pickaxe, walked over and picked up two giant axes dropped by the orcs, kicking one of their corpses before leaving.

He tossed one to Joey, and they stood back to back, ready to face the orcs who had been drawn by the commotion.

With five orcs suddenly dead, the surrounding orcs began to focus their attention on Joey and his two companions, as well as the distant woods.

The panicked workers were no longer their target. The orcs let them escape, while they themselves tacitly split into two groups and surrounded Joey and the forest.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Several arrows flew out of the forest again. The orcs near the forest raised their giant axes to protect their heads. The arrows struck the giant axes with a crisp sound and fell to the ground.

The other arrows that struck the orcs were ignored, indicating that these orcs had a lot of health. The main reason they were able to kill five orcs in an instant was because of the element of surprise.

"Lady Catherine, shall we fight?"

In the woods, a heavily armored warrior placed his hand on his sword sheath and asked a young woman, also heavily armored, beside him in a soft voice.

If Joey were here, he would definitely recognize this soldier as the one who came down from Tiger Stone Mountain last month and demanded a considerable amount of protection money from the foreman.

"These orcs are such a killjoy! We were planning to come with you to collect the money, but these orcs are causing trouble!"

The girl named Catherine was clearly unhappy, frowning as she watched the orcs charging towards them from outside the woods.

“Puff, I was just about to leave as you suggested. You said there were too many orcs and we wouldn’t get much of an advantage, but now that the wooden bridge is destroyed, there are only about forty orcs crossing it. Surely we, with thirty-three fully armed men, can’t defeat them?”

As she spoke, she drew a magnificent longsword from her waist and pointed it at the orc opposite her.

"Lady Catherine, I know you really want to kill a few orcs yourself, but your father instructed me that nothing can happen to you. When the fighting starts, you just watch from behind. I'll kill a few orcs for you to vent your anger!"

The warrior named Puff also drew his longsword, but his sword looked much wider.

After hearing Puff's words, Catherine's eyes darted around, and she immediately agreed.

"Okay, I'll stay in the back. You can vent your anger for me!"

Seeing that Catherine had agreed not to participate in the war directly, Puff was relieved.

"Archers, prepare to fire!"

As soon as Puff finished giving his order, six archers nocked their arrows and fixed their eyes on the charging orcs.

"put!"

As the orcs approached, Puff pointed his broadsword forward and shouted.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Six archers released the bowstrings with their right hands, the fletching of the arrows swaying from side to side like swift flying snakes, heading straight for the orc's face.

Ding ding ding...

For the well-prepared orcs, these arrows could no longer deliver a fatal blow; they could only slightly slow them down.

But the archers did not stop. When they were at a sufficient distance, they continued to fire their arrows quickly, buying more time to wear down the orcs in the upcoming melee.

"Draw your sword!"

The orc was less than ten meters away when Puff shouted again, and the heavily armored warriors in the front row drew their longswords in unison.

After firing that volley of arrows, the archer decisively retreated more than ten meters and gripped the dagger in his hand.

For melee combat, let these heavily armored warriors with their thick skin and tough flesh take the brunt; the archers can just watch the show now.

However, when the archers released their first volley of arrows, the squad of thirty-three was already missing one person. Everyone was too busy fighting to notice, and the missing person was the girl known as Catherine.

"Joey, aren't you going to call your own brother to help fight the orcs?"

Will looked at the four orcs coming from the riverbank, then glanced at the bearded man who was still digging a hole, and asked Joey beside him in a low voice.

"Let's not bother him. He won't have the energy to do anything until he finishes digging this hole!"

Joey weighed the axe in his hand and still felt it was a bit too heavy and not quite right for him.
