Orange-red fireballs flew up from all directions, each one accurately hitting the companions around them.
There were a total of 10 people in a team. When Xia Yao woke up from her trance, she found that five of her orc teammates had fallen.
“…What are you still standing there for? Run…!”
A hand suddenly grabbed her ankle.
Xia Yao lowered her head and saw Haru lying on the ground, his armor burned to ashes and his back covered in blood. It was a shocking sight.
However, even so, he still used all his strength to remind Xia Yao to run quickly.
So this is what happened to Bazel?
So how did he make his choice back then?
Xia Yao had no idea about this.
But now that she is the one in the copy, she will not sit idly by.
Including her, there are 5 people left in the team.
Xia Yao's eyes narrowed, her brain forming a quick judgment. She whispered, a voice only her teammates could hear, "Bolik, intercept the enemy on the left. There are the fewest humans there, probably only three: two mages and one Guxi. Take out the Guxi first, then sneak up on the mages."
Guxi is the holy light among the human race, and she deliberately used the language of the orcs to explain it.
Bolick was stunned for a moment, as if a little surprised by the change in the orc in front of him.
Xia Yao turned around: "What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and go!"
"Oh oh...! Okay!" Bolick came to his senses, picked up the machete, crouched down and entered the jungle on the left, hiding in the waist-high grass.
Then: "Seth, you said you were a good shooter, right?"
Like Bolick, Seth was stunned by the sudden, intense pressure from Bazel. But he reacted quickly and nodded repeatedly when asked, "Yes, I'm the tribe's marksman."
Xia Yao: "Okay, see the big tree on the right? Climb up and try to hide yourself. If the humans get close, kill them."
Seth frowned suddenly: "But I've only received ground shooting training..."
It is too difficult for him to climb a tree to aim at the target and hide himself.
Xia Yao's pupils sank, and her tone was cold: "Your family is in danger and needs your protection, and you say that too?"
Seth's throat suddenly choked, and his golden-brown eyes drooped. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a half-second pause, he suddenly raised his eyelids and said in a resounding voice, "I know. I'll go right away!"
After saying that, he quickly climbed up the big tree and reached the highest point like a whirlwind.
There were only two Orc teammates left, Gene and Moore, both Gusi. Xia Yao had obtained their name cards in the previous scene, so she said, "Gene, Moore, you two should treat all the wounded on the spot. Be sure to prepare defenses in advance and don't let any fish slip through the net!"
There are a total of 5 injured people, 2 of whom are Gusi. As long as Polik, Seth and she on the periphery can hold on, it is entirely possible to save the entire field.
After saying this, Xia Yao rushed forward, determined to use herself as bait to lure the human race away.
There's no other way. This body is incapable of all kinds of abilities. It lacks strength, is thin, and the so-called orc abilities have not been awakened. If she were to confront the skilled humans head-on, she wouldn't gain any advantage.
Xia Yao didn't know how Basel faced such a dilemma back then. The only thing she could think of at the moment was this trick.
There are a total of 8 human beings in front. Judging from their attire, they are all ranged professions, and there is not a single melee fighter.
Good, no assassins.
This way you don't have to worry about being caught up.
Xia Yao deliberately rushed in front of the human race, showed her face, then quickly turned and ran in another direction.
The humans spotted her and, as expected, swung their weapons to attack.
The fireball chased after her from behind, and Xia Yao dodged with all her might. Apart from a slight burn on her arm, she had no other major wounds.
Just when she was feeling lucky that she had entered the dungeon and was still as sharp as ever, suddenly, the human behind her stopped and stopped chasing her, but returned the same way.
Oh no, he must have discovered her plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Xia Yao also turned around suddenly and went into the small path next to her, preparing to take a shortcut to warn Gene and Moore.
"Hurry up and open the defenses! Get out! The humans are coming!" she cried out in alarm. "Seth, prepare to shoot! Cover them both!"
Hearing her shout, the two men who were treating the seriously injured Haru hurriedly stood up, opened the protective shield around him, and ran back.
Seth in the tree also drew his bow, with an arrow on the taut string, ready to shoot the enemy at any time.
However, Xia Yao overestimated the orcs' defense.
She thought she could at least rival the human Holy Light Messenger, but she didn't expect that the combined power of the two Guxis could not withstand the attack of a human mage.
The protective shield was like a thin layer of plastic and was easily broken through.
Translucent fragments exploded and scattered all over the ground.
The leading human grinned and grabbed Haru's collar, looking around with a malicious smile.
Xia Yao hid behind a big tree. Her heart skipped a beat and a bad premonition came over her.
"Feroman orcs, are you just going to abandon your comrades who fought alongside you? Look at him, covered in wounds. Can you bear it?"
The human voice was like a knife, stabbing into the hearts of Xia Yao and her companions again and again.
Gene and Moore wanted to turn back, but unexpectedly they saw Xia Yao's warning eyes from a distance, meaning that they were not allowed to come back. The two swallowed hard, made up their minds, and continued running!
Polric and Seth on the left and right sides were strong fighters, but they could not stand the provocation of the human race, so they turned back. One rushed out with a machete, and the other leaned forward and shot an arrow!
Oh no, everyone’s position has been exposed!
Xia Yao wanted to stop the two, but it was too late.
This is the moment the human race has been waiting for. As soon as Polric and Seth appear, the rest of the ranged forces launch an attack instantly!
Bolick's abdomen was pierced by the fireball, and he fell headfirst, staining the ground with bright red blood; Seth was entangled by the summoner's magic line, his limbs unable to move, and he fell from a great height with a bang, his neck broken on the spot.
"Captain Edwin, there are still three orcs missing!" Someone reminded after counting the heads.
System: [Successfully collected character card - Edwin]
Xia Yao waved away the bullet frame and looked in the direction where Gene and Moore fled. Fortunately, both of them had disappeared, and the human race should not be able to find them.
Squatting in the grass with gritted teeth, Xia Yao knew that no matter what the outcome of the battle was, there was only one goal at this moment - to keep as many people alive as possible!
But what should we do?
She had nothing but a light machete.
Sweat flowed down her temples and her back was already soaked. Xia Yao took advantage of the cover of the grass and moved to the side little by little in a squatting position.
A little closer, a little closer...
This way she would have the opportunity to kill Edwin of the human race from the side!
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. Xia Yao tried hard to hold her breathing down so as not to let the air reveal her whereabouts.
Edwin stood sideways and didn't notice her approaching secretly.
Now is the time!
Xia Yao exploded on the spot and rushed out like a horse that had broken free from its reins!
A white light suddenly appeared.
Then he suddenly opened his eyes wide!
Oops, she can't move!
With a thud, Xia Yao felt herself being thrown heavily to the ground. When she lowered her head, the machete had already fallen to the ground, and her hands and feet were tightly entangled by the magic lines of the human race.
Damn! This body's reaction is too slow!
Xia Yao glared at the people in front of her with gritted teeth, struggling with her hands and feet. However, her strength was not enough to break free, and instead deep bloody marks were left on her wrists.
"Ha, what a skinny orc. Is he still a minor?" Edwin leaned over with interest and looked at Xia Yao. "Oh, she's an adult now. But it doesn't matter. She's pretty. Let's take her back to the barracks."
After she finished speaking, someone came up from behind, held her on both sides, and tied her up again.
Xia Yao didn’t know whether Basel understood this sentence at that time, but as the possessed person, she immediately heard the deep meaning behind it.
She growled with her teeth bared, expressing her inner indignation.
However, in front of the strong, her actions were nothing but a joke.
Edwin chuckled, as if admiring a tool. Then, turning back, he said, "Skin all the orcs on the ground as usual. Return to make leather clothing for our brothers. Collect all the weapons and confiscate them."
"yes!"
Xia Yao felt a chill down her spine!
The image reflected in her pupils was Haru's dying appearance.
"No! Don't do that!" She struggled on the ground like crazy, spouting words that only orcs could understand.
Edwin glanced at Xia Yao sarcastically.
Xia Yao felt endless anger and pain swelling in her chest!
Damn it! Damn it!
Why is she so weak! Why can't she awaken the power of the orcs!
She can't even protect her best friend! What kind of warrior is she?
Bolick and the others were right, she was a useless person, she was a loser, she deserved to be beaten to death in the alley, she had no right to stand here!
A strong feeling of self-blame surged from my chest, and my vision was quickly blurred by tears.
Xia Yao was lying on her stomach, her hands and feet tied. She tried to raise her chin, shouting desperately, "Don't kill my friend! Don't!"
However, no one could understand her.
Edwin's men walked out, took out a blade, and plunged it into Haru's scalp.
All that was heard was a crisp snapping sound, followed by a roar of extreme pain.
Tears rolled down her face, and at that moment her vision became clear again. She clearly saw Haru's skin peeled off from his head...!
"Ahhhhh!!! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"
For a moment, Xia Yao couldn't tell whether it was herself or Basel who was roaring. The wind was howling in her ears and the stones on the ground were shaking.
She felt an indescribable power filling her body.
Her muscles seemed to swell, and blood instantly filled her eyes.
Sizzle!
She directly broke free from the magic strings and iron rings on her hands and feet.
Screams erupted from the crowd.
Xia Yao turned a deaf ear and stood up tremblingly.
She slowly opened her eyelids and saw the land in front of her was covered with the blood of orcs.
Half of Haru's face fell to the ground, separated from his bloody skull.
He seemed to have his last breath left. His scarlet eyeballs turned and finally stopped in the direction where Xia Yao was standing, and stopped moving.
The immense pain surged up like a flood, filling my entire chest in an instant.
Xia Yao grabbed the nearest human, tore him apart with her bare hands, snatched the bow from his hand, and raised it in front of her without hesitation!
But there was no arrow in the bow.
This seemed like stupid behavior to Edwin and the others, and they were about to launch a counterattack.
Suddenly, the earth trembled, the leaves hummed, and the wind blew past them!
"It seems like the situation is about to change. Let's fight quickly and decisively!" Edwin commanded seriously.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that what was blowing past them was not the wind, but the souls of the dead orcs flying out of their bodies!
They can't see.
But Xia Yao could see it.
Pollick, Seth, and Haru...
They smiled and crowded towards Basel, one soul after another, condensing into a light rising in the darkness.
In just a moment, before Edwin could react, he saw an arrow appear in the orc's empty right hand!
The arrow emitted a thick black aura, which looked ominous at first glance.
He panicked a little and quickly waved his staff.
The surrounding soldiers also released their skills.
The attacks are overwhelming!
But Bazel stood in the center and shot an arrow into the human race.
Boom! The wind howled, and the sand swept in!
The world seemed to collapse in an instant.
Horrible screams erupted from the crowd.
However, the scream only lasted for a few seconds before it died down along with the strong wind.
The woods suddenly fell into silence.
If the smell of blood had not reminded her, she might have thought it was just a dream.
Xia Yao stood there, her consciousness seemed to be in a vague state.
Before the image faded, she heard herself mutter, "[The Scourge is coming], my awakened power."
The author has something to say:
Bazel's strongest skill [Disaster], the awakening of which was a very painful experience.
