Chapter 408 The Rescue Trio (End)

The dark clouds in the sky magically floated away. In Richard's eyes, Fording's body was the same color as the sky, both of them were pure white.

Fording, who was kneeling on the ground, also felt a fierce heat rising from his body. A familiar light power filled his heart and slowly spread to his limbs. He was so comfortable that he almost cried out in pleasure. At the same time, the familiar energy quickly passed through his hands and engulfed the orc's ravaged body. The purity and power of the Holy Light overwhelmed their existence and poured through his body like a waterfall. Fording's body glowed with the aura of the Holy Fire. He was in awe and respect for this reawakened power. After a long while, Fording opened his eyes and saw a warm golden light enveloping Eitrigg. He stared in amazement, and as he stared, the wounds on the orc's body healed. Even the infected cut on the orc's leg healed, as if it had never existed.

However, this energy came and went quickly. This reassuring power did not last long before it faded. Fording fell to the ground motionless as if he had been drained. He lay there gasping for air for a while, his whole head was dizzy. With a snort, Eitrigg sat up and looked around frantically. The old orc's face was pale and weak, but his eyes were bright and alert. Eitrigg jumped up quickly, looking at Richard and Valeera beside him, crouching in a defensive posture, sniffing the air. He scanned the nearest edge of the woods, looking for signs of danger, but there seemed to be nothing. Eitrigg looked down, only to find Fording lying next to him.

"Hey! Human! How are you!" Eitrigg asked, looking at Richard. "New human, where is this place? How did we get here?"

"We are outside the city... Eitrigg, you are safe for now." Fording answered Eitrigg's question for Richard. Fording's chest rose and fell violently on the ground. After a while, Fording continued, "It looks like you and I will not be threatened with hanging for a while."

Eitrigg laughed a few times and then pointed at the wound on his body and asked, "Is this your power, human? You healed me?" Eitrigg

looked at Richard and the others with suspicion: "Or you?"

Fording Fording smiled and said, "It's me. Eitrigg, if I remember correctly, you told me that pain is a good teacher. This time, did he teach you a lesson you will never forget?"

Eitrigg grinned and patted Fording's chest. Fording coughed violently, "I have learned everything from it a long time ago. He can't teach me anything."

Fording turned his head to look at Eitrigg. The old orc was now leaning against a big tree to rest. Based on experience, he would be weak for several days. Fording looked at Richard and was about to express his gratitude when he suddenly heard a rustling sound in the surrounding trees.

Fording jumped up and immediately prepared for battle.

"Oh no! We are surrounded!" Fording found that the trees on all sides were moving, and a group of huge figures emerged. There were about twenty of them, all orcs. These orcs wore neat chain mail and held huge axes. They had all kinds of ornaments tied all over their bodies, including necklaces made of bones and pendants made of feathers. These warriors approached Fording and his men lightly.

Fording looked at them carefully. These orcs had bulging muscles and armor, and two fangs protruded from their faces. Some of them even had saw-like primitive tattoos on their teeth, which further enhanced their already fierce image. They carried the broad-bladed axes with skilled ease, and those weapons seemed to be a natural extension of their bodies.

But what shocked Fording was not the orcs' savage appearance. Rather, it was the change in their bead-like eyes - no longer burning with evil and hatred, they were calm and alert, showing a wisdom and intelligence that absolutely did not belong to them. Fording had been to concentration camps more than once, and no orc was like this. These looks reminded Fording of the orc war.

Fording took a step back calmly. Based on his understanding of orcs, orcs might attack anyone at any time, so it would be better for them to stand together, especially since one of them had little fighting ability. Fording glanced at Richard. It was a bit strange that Richard and Valeera stood on both sides of them without taking a defensive posture.

As a result, Fording waited for a long time, but the orcs did not move. Just when Fording was about to get impatient, a taller figure walked out, and the other orcs made way for him. This was their leader. Fording took a

breath of cold air when he walked in. The orc was wearing a neat plate armor. The orc's black plate armor was decorated with brass runes. Fording had only seen one orc wearing a full set of armor before, and that orc was their chieftain. The sight was impressive and terrifying. The orc's powerful stone warhammer looked as old as the world itself, and this style was also only seen on one person, that person was called Orgrim. The former chieftain of the Hammer of Destruction. The creature's black hair was braided into strands, hanging down to his armored body. Its green face was a little less beast-like than the other orcs, and its cruel and wise eyes were startlingly blue. Fording guessed that this was not an ordinary orc, and he was very likely the leader of the new tribe.

The orc walked straight forward and knelt down beside Eitrigg. Fording was about to stand between them when Richard grabbed his shoulders. Fording turned around and looked at his identity and asked, "Do you know him?" Richard

nodded gently and whispered, "This is the new chief of the orcs, Sal. He has no ill will towards humans, so don't worry." Richard didn't know much about the relationship between Sal and Richard, and the only rumor outside was that Sal escaped from him.

Thrall, who was squatting, raised his head and looked at Richard and the others, but Thrall did not show any expression when he saw Richard. Thrall's arrival was also arranged by Richard in advance. In fact, when Thrall and the others heard that Eitrigg was brought to Stratholme, they wanted to rescue their compatriot. After Richard learned about it, he directly sent Valeera to stop their action. Then, during this action, Richard knew that Fording would definitely rescue the old orc. Even if Fording did not ask Richard, Richard would take the initiative to rescue him. So he arranged for Thrall and the others to hide here and rescue people as long as they saw the red signal bomb. However, Richard and the others did not use the red signal bomb in the end. So, some of the orcs retreated first, leaving only these twelve guards waiting here. These guards are all from Kezan, so they are absolutely safe.
