However, this is only the first step of the rescue. It is definitely impossible to take these hundreds of people away quietly.

There are elderly people and children among the captives, so they cannot escape quickly. We must delay them for a long enough time to give them a chance to escape.

In response, Wayne summoned a few men among the captives who looked more reliable, then took out some weapons he had collected from his space bracelet and said to them:

"There is only one chance. I will create chaos in the orc camp and attract the attention of those soldiers."

"You must take everyone with you and flee back to Changhu Town."

"After something like this happens, the woodland elves should come to your aid. As long as tonight passes, you should be safe."

After saying this, he explained the details to those people again, put on his invisibility cloak again, and left the place where the prisoners were held.

The person in charge of the looting of Long Lake Town was a Grey Mountains war chief named Gruut. Among the many Orc clans in the Grey Mountains, he had neither too many nor too few members, and could barely be considered a mid-level force.

However, although there are only a few hundred orcs under Groot, which is not as many as the residents of Changhu Town, the orcs are a race with strong reproductive capacity and everyone is a soldier. In terms of combat units alone, the number of soldiers under his command is more than seven or eight times that of Changhu Town.

It was precisely because of such a large number of warriors that they were able to defeat the entire Changhu Town in just one afternoon and seize a large amount of supplies and prisoners.

Originally, this war chief lived well in the mountains, and his main enemies were the dwarves from the Iron Hills area. But suddenly, an order came from the highest level, asking him to immediately bring his warriors and travel thousands of miles to plunder Long Lake Town.

Because the main enemy of the Orc clans in the Grey Mountains has always been the Dwarf clans from the Lonely Mountain and the Iron Hills, they have long surpassed most of their peers in terms of warfare and forging capabilities, second only to the Orcs in the Mordor region.

After the night's revelry, Groot came to a huge stone next to the campfire to rest. Alcoholic beverages were quite rare among the orcs, which was the main reason why they couldn't help but drink tonight.

The stone is equivalent to the dirty and wet mud ground. It can not only shelter from wind and rain, but also is quite dry. It is a good place he specially reserved for himself to sleep.

However, while sleeping, Gulut suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. An inexplicable chill woke him up, and his most loyal wolf companion also let out a long warning howl.

Without thinking, Gulut's strong body immediately rolled to the side. Then he felt a pain in his neck and a large amount of blood flowed down the right side of his neck, as if the artery was cut directly.

This discovery shocked Gulut. He immediately covered the wound on his neck and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

While shouting, he looked towards the place where he had just been lying.

In the light of the bonfire, a tall figure in blood-red armor appeared there like a ghost, holding a dagger that shone with cold light in his hand.

Before he could see the man's face clearly, he heard a voice in the common language:

"Tsk! Is this thing a dog or a wolf? It actually smelled me."

The man's figure suddenly disappeared, and then appeared behind him in an instant.

This time, Gurutu didn't have time to react. The man swung the sharp dagger in his hand and slashed it horizontally in an instant. In the flash of the knife, Gurutu's head rolled off his neck, leaving only an angry expression.

However, because of Gulut's warning and the howl of the huge wolf beside him, many orcs in the camp were awakened, and they all looked towards Wayne's location.

Looking at the corpse of the war chief on the ground, as well as many of his companions who had been killed in their sleep at some point, the scene was silent for a moment, and then suddenly erupted into fierce curses and shouts of killing.

Wayne, whose whereabouts were discovered, had to give up his original idea of ​​assassinating some orcs and blew the whistle loudly to call the Deathclaw.

As the melodious whistle blew farther and farther away, a dull beast roar mixed with excitement and agitation instantly resounded throughout the night sky.

Amid the rumbling sound of footsteps, the Deathclaw's powerful body, as strong as steel, immediately rushed out from its hiding place.

After cutting off Groot's head, Wayne threw the dirty orc's head to the ground. Then he rushed towards the direction where the Deathclaw was running, and with a chain of lightning, he chopped down five or six more orcs.

After the two sides reunited, Wayne rode on Deathclaw's back again and began to command his pet to kill indiscriminately throughout the Orc camp.

Unlike the petite, goblin-like orcs in the Misty Mountains, the orcs in the Grey Mountains are called Big Orcs.

Their body shape is generally similar to that of humans, and there are even a few tall members who can reach a height of about two meters. In addition, most of them wear armor and the weapons in their hands are also quite sophisticated.

Although the Deathclaws still had an overwhelming advantage against them, they could no longer defeat them as easily as they did the orcs in the Misty Mountains.

At the very least, with the bite force of the Death Claw, it would feel strenuous when biting into armor, and its claws could not cut metal as easily as they cut flesh.

Facing these armored orcs, Robin mostly resorted to trampling and slapping attacks, just like a car crash, using the enormous force to directly shatter their internal organs.

However, after the initial confusion and shock, the orcs' savage and brutal character once again prevailed. There were as many as four or five hundred orc soldiers in the camp, and they were in an open area.

It didn't take long before Wayne and Robin were surrounded by Orc soldiers.

Warriors and wolves kept trying to climb up Deathclaw's skin to his back. While trying to attack Wayne on the dragon's back, they looked for weak spots on the giant beast and attacked them.

Then, they found oil drums and ropes, and tried to use the strong ropes to tie up the Deathclaw's legs and knock down the giant beast, or use the power of fire to directly ignite the Deathclaw's flesh.

As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Even with the power of the Death Claw, it is impossible to resist too many enemies.

Fortunately, there is Wayne, a helper on the battlefield. The alchemical bombs and thundercloud storms play a great role at this time. Once he finds a place where the number of orcs is quite dense, and some orcs find ropes or other items that pose a threat to the Death Claws, he will strike hard and eliminate the threat in the bud.

The night was very long, and the battle between the Deathclaws and the Orcs lasted for a long time.

The two sides gradually changed from initial testing, to tough confrontation in the middle, and finally to wandering and experimenting.

Finally, after a battle that lasted almost two hours, the orcs from the Grey Mountains were defeated and scattered because they could no longer bear any more deaths.

After a night of fighting, even the Death Claw, who had amazing physical strength, could not help but stand among the mountains of corpses and sea of ​​blood, gasping for breath.

However, as the most powerful beast in the apocalyptic world, Robin's recovery ability is still very strong. After resting on the battlefield for an hour, the man and the beast began to return to Changhu Town along the same route they came.

Because of the physical exhaustion, the speed of returning was slower than the speed of coming. Wayne even met a group of prisoners who were fleeing to Changhu Town on the way.

When these captives who had escaped death learned that Wayne had defeated such a large army of Orcs with just one man and one beast, everyone was grateful to them.

Wayne was not modest about this. After taking over the command, he also told them about the current situation in Changhu Town.

The group of people traveled all night long and finally returned to Changhu Town before noon, where they successfully reunited with their families.

As the person who contributed the most to this operation, Wayne was naturally treated like a hero by everyone.

Faced with this hero who saved the entire Changhu Town, all the residents of Changhu Town were willing to obey his orders. Under his command, they began to extinguish the fire in the town, collect the bodies of the townspeople, search for usable supplies, and build temporary refugee shelters.

When it was around noon, a group of woodland elves dressed in gorgeous armor finally rushed to Changhu Town from the dark forest across the lake, carrying a large amount of supplies.

Emergency supplies were brought to the residents of Changhu Town who survived the disaster.
