Chapter 168: Dog-headed Man (Part 2)
"Hold on! Hold on!"
Ten meters away, the space gate with rippling surface like water waves was like a giant beast with its mouth open, which caused tremendous pressure on the guards. Even Gervis himself became a little nervous. Especially when Gervis vaguely saw a black shadow swaying inside the undulating space gate, he gripped the sword even tighter.
"Woof! Woof!"
As the blurry black shadow got closer and closer to the space gate, the next moment, a figure finally walked out of the orc space.
"Hiss! Kobold?"
When Gervis saw the figure clearly, he took a deep breath. At this moment, he finally saw the orc he had fantasized about for a long time. The appearance of the orc had a huge impact on Gervis's three views. Although he didn't know the real racial name of the orc, Gervis had given it a name based on his memory of his previous life - dog-headed man!
The orc in front of Gervis had a head similar to that of a wolf or a dog, and the fangs in its mouth were extremely scary. The height of this dog-headed man was about 1.7 meters, not very tall, but his body was extremely burly. He had many bone chains hanging on his body, and only his lower body was simply wrapped in a piece of animal skin.
Precisely because there was no clothing covering it, the well-developed muscles of the dog-headed man were fully exposed in front of Gervis and others, just like the body of a werewolf on Earth after transformation, full of explosive muscles. However, unlike a werewolf, this dog-headed man had no hair on his skin, only dark green skin and bulging blue veins underneath the skin.
"Woof!"
When the dog-headed man stepped out of the space, he first turned around and looked around, and finally set his sights on Gervis and others. His originally confused expression instantly became ferocious, and a sound like a beast's roar and some kind of language came out of his mouth, and he bared his teeth as if to attack Gervis and others.
"Hold on! Everyone be on alert! Wait for my order!"
Gervis knew that there must be more than one orc in this orc space, so he needed to wait. According to Pat, there were at least five orcs in the space opened up by the purple elf worms, and there could be more than a dozen, or even twenty. At the moment, the ogres were too close to the entrance of the space. Gervis was worried that his men would be caught off guard by the orcs who continued to walk out of the space if they went forward!
So he suppressed his guards and did not give any orders to rush forward to deal with the ogre.
…
"Ah! Orcs, really orcs!"
"Gods above, the Lord is really going to kill the orcs, so we don't have to flee anymore!"
"The orc is so scary. Look at his mouth full of fangs. Will the lord be in danger?"
"You haven't seen the storm wolf that the Lord killed in our village last time! It was as big as two cows, and the Lord killed it with just one sword. I think the Lord can kill this orc with just one kick..."
"I heard it was only as big as a cow..."
“Bullshit, I’m from the village near the Dark Forest. It’s as big as two cows. I saw it with my own eyes…”
The moment the orcs appeared, while Gervis and others were still confronting the ogre, all the serfs watching on the hillside unconsciously stepped back several steps, their faces turned pale. After a moment, they realized that the orcs were blocked by the wooden wall and that the lord was inside, so they regained their composure and started discussing with others.
…
"Woof! Woof!"
"Woof!"
Sure enough, Gervis's caution was correct. Just a few seconds later, five more gnolls walked out of the space gate. When the gnolls saw Gervis and others and the crowd of onlookers in the distance, they immediately bared their teeth and let out angry shouts.
The five gnolls that came out later were almost identical to the first one, with well-developed muscles and only animal skins wrapped around their lower bodies. Their necks, chests, and arms were covered with necklaces and bracelets made of various bones and fangs. The only difference might be the scars on their bodies. Scars of varying depths can be seen on many gnolls.
"Everyone, listen to my orders and prepare for battle..."
"Damn it, what space did I open up? Did I end up in the Kobolds' lair?"
When the five ogre men at the back came out, Gervis saw that no more orcs came out of the space, and his heart finally settled down. Six orcs were neither too many nor too few. As long as he was careful, he could train his guards and there would be no casualties. Gervis was just about to give the order to fight, but at this moment, several blurry figures flashed through the space gate again.
Gervis was so frightened that he immediately stopped giving orders, his brows twitching wildly.
One, two... five, ten, eleven...
As the dog-headed men walked out of the space gate one by one, Gervis had the urge to curse.
"This is so unscientific. Wasn't it agreed that there would be 5-10 people normally? How come I opened a room for 17 orcs? And what the hell is this last one? A kobold leader? Why is the meteor hammer in his hand flashing?"
At this moment, Gervis' face was really full of black lines. Together with the original six orcs, 17 ogres actually walked out of the orc space that Eve opened today. What made Gervis even more angry was that the last ogres who walked out were obviously different from the previous ogres.
This kobold was actually over two meters tall, and his muscles were extremely well-developed. The strangest thing was that the skin of other kobolds was dark green, but that of this tall kobold was purple. The meteor hammer in his hand was made of metal and chains, unlike the other kobolds who only had a sharp stone the size of a watermelon tied to an iron chain, which was extremely crude.
What was even more terrible was that Gervis clearly saw that the larger meteor hammer was flashing silver light from time to time, which was creepy to look at.
"Woof! It's dead!"
When the purple dog-headed man leader walked out of the space, he immediately roared with bloodthirstiness in his eyes. As he roared, the other sixteen dog-headed men seemed to have received orders and immediately started to move, waving meteor hammers as big as watermelons and rushing towards Gervis and others.
"Raise your shield and kill!"
Although the number of ogres exceeded his expectations, Gervis did not think much about it when the battle started. With his mithril equipment, if he couldn't deal with such a small battle, then Gervis couldn't expect them to protect him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The royal guards and the ogres collided with each other in an instant. The ogres swung their meteor hammers and smashed heavily on the round shields of the guards. Suddenly, a dull sound like a drum was heard in the field.
puff!
The guards raised their shields and rushed forward. Gervis also rushed forward, holding up his sword and mobilizing his fighting spirit to become the first to engage in close combat with the ogre.
Before the kobold could react, he was killed by Gervis's sword. The reinforced mithril sword cut into the kobold's shoulder like cutting tofu.
