Chapter 24 Human Captives
The news about the old werewolf did shock Arthur.
In addition to his seventh squadron, there are human warriors in the orc wasteland.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand itself. The human and beast tribes have been in conflict over the years, and the orc hunting teams have also crossed the human border from time to time to rob, and warriors on both sides have fallen into the hands of each other.
The beast soldiers captured by human race are generally sold to mines and become slaves, but the orcs rarely leave human race prisoners to live. Only women and a small number of men will become playthings and slaves of the orc nobles.
Once you become a prisoner, no matter which slave you become, you will have almost no chance of returning to your hometown, and your ultimate fate will still be death.
Arthur himself was a slave to orcs, and no one understood the miserable situation of these slaves better than him.
If what the old werewolf said was true, Arthur would have to find a way to rescue these people no matter what. What's more, these people are captured soldiers and may become a supplement to his own troops. This is simply an unexpected gain.
Arthur tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart and said coldly: "Draw the map of the place you said."
"You must promise to let go of the tribe members of my tribe after I tell you the place where the human captives were detained."
"If the news you provide is true, I can consider letting them go."
"Okay, I hope you human race can keep your promise." After saying that, the old werewolf bit his finger and lay on the ground and drew on the white cloth with his own blood. After drawing, he raised the white cloth to his head again.
Arthur jumped off the stag, took the white cloth and looked at it. The old werewolf knelt in front of Arthur and did not dare to move.
The map is very simple, but the interweaving and ups and downs of lines can still be distinguished. In addition, the terrain of the orc wasteland is not as complicated as that in the human race. After asking the points on the old werewolf map representing the mountains, Arthur basically determined the location of the human race prisoners.
Arthur put the map into the space bracelet and looked at the old werewolf with intriguing eyes.
The old werewolf was also looking at Arthur nervously, for fear that he would suddenly repent and start a massacre.
"Answer a question, why do you do this? For the orcs, your current behavior is equivalent to betrayal."
"We sent the most elite warriors in the tribe to participate in the war between the Golden Lion Family against you humans. We fulfilled the tribe's obligation to the Golden Lion Family. But they failed to fulfill their responsibility to protect our tribe and put you in, leaving our tribe in a disaster of extermination, so our tribe no longer has the obligation to keep this secret for them."
Arthur nodded, "It's reasonable. If what you said is true, I will keep my promise, but you can't live." Arthur suddenly took action after he finished speaking, and a level 4 hunting knife flashed by, and a huge werewolf's head flew away from his neck.
Ariya's scream came from behind him. He didn't expect Arthur to take action suddenly.
Arthur turned over and jumped onto the Silver Horned Bucks, and didn't even enter the village. He turned the deer head and rushed away with his seventh squadron.
Alia looked at Arthur's back with complicated eyes. Her words that day did change Arthur. This was the first village that the Seventh Squadron had let go since entering the Orc Wasteland, but she still couldn't understand why Arthur wanted to kill the old werewolf?
......
Behind a shady hillside.
The soldiers of the Seventh Squadron sat together in groups of three or five to rest. No one spoke. Some were silently wiping their weapons, and some simply closed their eyes and dozed off.
Everyone was waiting for a message, which was the first time they had received information from their fellow comrades since they went deep into the Orc Wasteland.
The sound of the Mercedes-Benz kicking from far to near, and Jose flew back alone.
Before the silver-horned bucks could not wait to stop completely, Monkey and Lund rushed up and asked anxiously: "How is the situation ahead?"
Jose ignored the monkey and walked quickly to Arthur with a serious expression.
"What's the situation? Tell me quickly, are you going to be anxious?" The monkey was still urging.
Arthur smiled and handed the water bag over first.
Jose took the water bag and glared at the monkey. Gudong drank most of the bag of water before sitting down. The first sentence was, "The situation was not very good!"
"Is the news about the old werewolf fake?"
"That's not." Jose shook his head gently, "There is indeed a sinking canyon in that place, and there are a large number of orc guards at the entrance of the valley."
"Did you find out how many human captives are in the valley?" This is what Arthur cares about the most.
Jose frowned and said, "This is the most troublesome thing. The canyon is long and has only one entrance. I can't touch it and figure out the situation inside. I can only see the human-like slaves from afar, and there are a lot of them."
“Can you go around from other places?”
Jose still shook his head, "I winded around the outer edge of the canyon, and the cliffs of the canyon were almost straight up and down. According to my ability, I would not think about coming up again after sliding down the rope."
"It's trouble now. If you don't understand the situation inside, you can't do it rashly." Arthur's brow also frowned slightly.
Jose smiled bitterly, "Captain, this is not the most troublesome."
"Um?"
"The most troublesome thing is that even if we can figure out the situation in the canyon, we don't have the ability to rescue people."
"The guards are too strong?" Arthur instantly guessed the key.
Jose nodded, "Although I couldn't see clearly what was happening in the canyon, I carefully observed the power of the guards at the entrance of the valley. They changed posts three times in a day, and the number of orcs guarded by each post was forty or fifty. In addition, there were wandering orc cavalry in the canyon."
Arthur, Monkey, Lund and others all changed their faces. They all understood the army's organization. The Gukou Guards and Cavalry alone were close to 200 orc warriors. In addition, the slaves guarding the valley, the number of orcs in the valley was conservatively estimated to be no less than 300.
According to the current strength of the Seventh Squadron, being able to barely defeat a team of Orcs and Hundreds head-on, and forcing the canyon guarded by three hundred orcs is equivalent to dying.
"According to the previous strategy, find a way to lure some orcs out and knock them out in batches?" the monkey suggested.
Jose still shook his head, "During my reconnaissance, a team of orcs left the canyon. I took the opportunity to follow them all the way, but found a large orc tribe less than twenty miles away from the canyon. I guess this canyon might belong to this tribe. We may not be able to attract orcs from the canyon, but instead alarmed the orc tribe."
Everyone fell into silence, and in isolation, the Seventh Squadron was powerless.
Arthur suddenly raised his head, "Maybe there is another way?"
Everyone looked at Arthur.
"Without support, maybe we can use the power in the canyon?"
"You mean the prisoners in the canyon?" Jose's eyes lit up.
"Don't forget that the people inside are all former warriors. As long as they are given a hope of escaping, they will work hard at all costs." Arthur said seriously.
"But we need someone to go in and figure out the situation inside and release the information in advance, so that we can achieve internal and external cooperation."
