Chapter 319 Stealing the Credit
Early spring is a time full of hope. The earth has revived, the fields are ready for cultivation, and farmers sow seeds at the beginning of the year so that they can harvest a field of golden yellow in the autumn.
Tallinn served as a rear support point for the Orcs in their confrontation with Riga Fortress, and a large number of troops were stationed there. In order to support these troops, countless farms and towns were built around Tallinn.
Orc warriors are stationed in the towns, forming the grassroots ruling force together with Rakshasa officials, while the farms are mostly inhabited by Rakshasa civilians. After all, orcs do not farm, and orc settlements are only found in some jungle areas rich in prey.
For thousands of years, the Rakshasa people have adapted to this living environment. They cultivate the land, they harvest the crops, they are quietly enslaved, and they live their lives in peace.
But this year, there will never be that golden autumn again. Fire and slaughter have extinguished it all, leaving only bitter wails and death.
"Hahaha! That's it, the bigger the fire, the faster the orcish reinforcements will arrive..."
With a burst of arrogant laughter, several heads were chopped off. Orc warriors were no match for Holson and his men, let alone the security forces composed of Rakshasa.
Saintess Heatherine, heeding Qin Mo's advice, refrained from taking action, waiting for the reinforcements Qin Mo mentioned. Meanwhile, Holson and his men showed no mercy, ignoring the pleas of the Rakshasa women and children and burning down their houses and granaries.
The surrendered Rakshasa security forces, seeing no hope of survival, put up a futile resistance and were then beheaded by the charging Templar Knights.
The actions of the security forces enraged the noble Knights Templar, who began an indiscriminate massacre. Young children and vulnerable women all fell victim to the light's punishment.
"Qin Mo, did you do this before in the north of Great Xia?" Kelly, Ellie, and Xu Luo stood beside Qin Mo, looking at Holson and the others who were already having a blast, and asked with a pang of sympathy.
Qin Mo shook her head. "I only kill elite orc warriors."
Seeing his "luring the snake out of its hole" tactic turn into a pointless indiscriminate massacre by Holson and others, he was very frustrated, but even the saintess did not stop it, so what could he do?
Kelly and Ellie's expressions softened slightly. "Qin Mo, could you persuade the Holy Maiden to have them discipline Holson? Although the Rakshasa are extremely filthy and despicable, killing people like this... isn't it... merciless?"
Saintess Heatherine is usually not very talkative, but recently she has been chatting happily with Qin Mo, so Kelly and Ellie think it is most appropriate for him to persuade her.
Qin Mo glanced at Heatherine, who was standing there in the distance, and shook her head, saying, "Although this is cruel, it can indeed quickly lure out the strong people in Tallinn City. Otherwise, Princess Heatherine would not have allowed them to slaughter the Rakshasa people."
In nearly a thousand years of fighting, the Rakshasa people and the Westerners had formed a blood feud. Even if Holson and others carried out such a massacre, they would not be subject to any moral condemnation. Kelly and Ellie were only temporarily soft-hearted. When they saw that Qin Mo did not stop them, they gave up.
On the afternoon of the second day, the orc army in Tallinn finally reacted. A search party of nearly a thousand men left the city and charged directly towards the location of the Temple Hunting Team, with plumes of black smoke pointing the way to them.
Heatherine, who had been keeping her eyes down, finally opened them. She had no interest in killing these small fry outside the city for the past two days.
There was a dense forest on the outskirts of the town, which was a perfect ambush point. The group hid in the forest and watched from afar as the orc army arrogantly pounced on them.
"The enemy has five hundred Rakshasa cavalry, and... two orc warlords...?" Holson's voice trembled slightly as he saw the two tall orcs leading the charge, whether from excitement or fear, it was hard to tell.
“Kelly, let’s go together! Killing an overlord earns you a viscount’s title.” Another Knight’s Hall practitioner, Green, understood Holson’s look and extended a team invitation to Kelly.
"Your Highness Heatherine, what should we do?" Kelly ignored Green and asked Saint Heatherine instead.
Heatherine said calmly, "You can try it first, but don't be reckless." Heatherine's current status no longer requires two warlords to enhance her achievements. Since Kelly and the others want to take on the challenge, she doesn't mind supporting them.
Holson and the others immediately formed a small circle, surrounding Kelly in the middle, and began discussing the formation. Qin Mo, however, was intentionally or unintentionally relegated to the outer perimeter.
Kelly was undoubtedly placed at the front of the group, and only she and Qin Mo could independently confront the orc overlord. Holson and the others could only deal with the orc generals and warriors behind the orc overlord.
Holson said excitedly, "Let's go first, take down one of the warlords, and the remaining one will be killed by Princess Heatherine. As for Lord Qin Mo, killing a few generals is still within our reach."
"Qin Mo, are you coming too? Uh..." Kelly looked at the excited group and couldn't help but turn around to call out to Qin Mo. She felt that although they didn't usually get along, they should unite when facing a formidable enemy.
But when she turned to look at Qin Mo, she found that Qin Mo had already opened his wooden box and taken out a black suit of armor to put on.
The armor was "Dark Scale," produced by the Great Xia Imperial Workshop. Its elegant and flowing design and exquisite workmanship, combined with Qin Mo's upright posture, exuded a strong masculine aura, causing Kelly's mind to freeze for a moment.
Holson was also taken aback by Qin Mo's superior equipment, but he quickly recovered. "Kelly, the enemy is very close. We must attack immediately, or the biggest prey will go to someone else... Get lost... Damn it..."
