Chapter 98 Intelligence (Second update, please subscribe)
Benjamin made a gesture, and Amy and Victor quickly hid in the bushes on both sides, ready to go.
Their task is to clean up any fish that may have escaped. As for the main attacker, it is of course Jemin.
Benjamin took a deep breath and squatted slightly, like a cheetah ready to pounce.
"start!"
The ten magical symbols on his wrists were instantly activated, like blooming flowers.
The next moment, a torrent of energy bombs gushed out!
The continuous energy balls were like the scythe of the god of death, leaving blurry afterimages in the air.
The orc elites also raised their heads alertly at the same time. The orcs' fighting instincts allowed them to sense the danger the moment before the energy bomb hit.
One of the soldiers suddenly raised his head with a look of astonishment. He opened his mouth and was about to sound the alarm, but before the sound came out of his throat, an energy bullet had already pierced his throat accurately.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The energy bullets accurately hit the vital points of the joints, throat and chest.
They penetrated the leather armor worn by the orcs and the tough flesh they were proud of as easily as shooting through paper.
The battle was over in almost the blink of an eye.
Amy and Victor were stunned. They had been prepared for a fierce battle, but they didn't expect that the battle was over before they could make a move.
At least he didn't completely lose the opportunity to attack.
As Jemin's attack ended, two orc elites who looked badly damaged suddenly jumped up and tried to turn around and escape into the depths of the forest.
Even though their bodies had been beaten like sieves, they still showed terrifying ability to move.
Even Benjamin couldn't help but be amazed at this terrifying vitality.
However, Amy and the others reacted quickly as well.
Almost at the moment the orc turned around and ran away, Amy raised her hand, and several fireballs hit the orc accurately as if they had eyes.
In order to minimize noise, the fireball did not explode directly, but turned into several flames that penetrated deep into the opponent's body, completely burning its internal organs in an instant.
Victor was more direct. Several extremely sharp wind blades, like invisible razors, instantly cut across the orc's neck, and a huge head soared into the sky.
Amy and Victor quickly harvested the fish that escaped, ensuring that no one survived.
When the aftermath of all the energy bombs dissipated, the scene in front of the shrine had changed.
Except for the dying shaman who was deliberately left behind by Jemin, all the orc elites had fallen to the ground, lifeless, their bodies covered with tiny but fatal bullet holes.
The green crystal on the shrine also dimmed, as if it was shaken by the source of faith.
Benjamin walked past the dying shaman without even looking at him.
The shaman's eyes were filled with fear and confusion. He didn't understand why he and his elite warriors were slaughtered by this group of "demons" that suddenly appeared without even a chance to resist.
Jiemin ignored him and quickly placed several special runes on the shrine.
These runes penetrate deep into the shrine, like blood-sucking tentacles, madly absorbing its energy core.
Soon, the last ray of light from the crystal on top of the shrine went out, and it completely turned into an ordinary stone.
boom……
The supporting energy dissipated, the shrine let out a dull whine, and then began to collapse.
"Success!" Victor suppressed his voice and shouted excitedly.
Amy's eyes were also full of joy, but she did not waste time. Instead, she quickly came to the dying Saman and took out the magic weapon.
…
…
Deep in the forest, Benjamin and the other two were like three phantoms, swiftly moving through the dense forest.
Their steps were light and agile, leaving a brief afterimage on the ground covered with mottled shadows of trees.
Unlike their previous hasty and confused escape, they were now more purposeful.
"You're pronouncing it wrong. It should be 'Grommash', with a stronger guttural sound."
Jemin's voice rang out in the woods, but what he spoke was not the language of any wizard civilization, but a rough and powerful orc language.
"Grommash... Damn, it's too hard!" Amy tried her best to imitate it while running, but her tongue kept getting in the way, making her annoyed. "Common Tongue is probably easier to learn."
"It'll be fine with more practice," Victor responded in Common. His pronunciation was much more accurate than Amy's, clearly a lot of effort. "According to the shaman's memories, if we want to operate in this area, we need to at least master Common and Orcish."
They are practicing the language of this world through dialogue.
All this knowledge came from the captured orc shaman.
After Amy accurately extracted the required information through the magic weapon, she ended the shaman's suffering without hesitation.
Over the past few days, the three of them have been imitating and practicing the language through the information in their memory whenever they have free time.
On the one hand, it is to adapt, and on the other hand, it is to better disguise and obtain intelligence in future adventures.
"So, in the shaman's memory, the oracle said this?" Amy's voice was a little awkward, and the common language with an exotic accent echoed in the forest. "'Demons from outer space are invading. Hunt them down and drive out the filth...' That doesn't sound friendly at all."
"Yes, Amy, your pronunciation has improved," Victor responded approvingly, his Common Language also having a strange accent. "It's normal to be unfriendly. We didn't come here to be friendly in the first place."
"In the shaman's memory, this forest is jointly managed by orcs and elves. The orcs are in charge of the east and south, while the elves are in charge of the west and north. Furthermore, both sides are commanded by powerful beings equivalent to Level 2 creatures. It turns out that it was the right decision to leave this area immediately." Benjamin took over, his Common Tongue fluent, almost inaudible. "Their military deployment is also very clear, and we can roughly deduce patrol routes and key defense areas."
Amy grinned and adjusted her tone, "The shaman's memory said that the wizard army's landing point should be in the south of this area. In this case..."
"We need to run northeast." A gleam of light flashed in Benjamin's eyes. "The commotion we caused at the shrine was enough to set off a large-scale hunt by the orcs. If we continue like this, we'll likely attract an enemy we can't resist, so we must confuse them!"
Victor understood immediately: "It's easy for them to figure out our identities. They've probably deployed a large number of troops in the south... No wonder you told us to run. It was to create a trail, right?"
Amy Ye was thoughtful: "So... next we should go to the northeast where there are fewer orc patrols and they are relatively weak?"
