Chapter 388: The Hunting Methods of Wolves (Update)

In the mountains, on the slopes, the sound of dead branches being stepped on and broken was ear-piercing. Humans rushed out from the surrounding shadows one by one and attacked the orcs.

"Kill them! Take back the Viscount's land!"

The knight was roaring, his eyes bloodshot and he didn't know how long he hadn't slept. He swung the sword in his hand towards the black goat man.

After more than ten minutes of fighting, the seven or eight black goat men that appeared here were killed. Of course, two human corpses were left on the ground, and the rest of the people were also injured.

"It seems like these damn orcs are endless to kill."

One of them said breathlessly that the life and death in war had brought ordinary people and knights closer together, and he couldn't help but ask.

This is the territory of Viscount Rhodes, but not surprisingly, because it is too close to Hanshan City and Golden Wheat City, this Viscount's territory was also invaded by orcs. At the beginning, when a large number of orcs appeared, the Viscount's territory had no ability to resist at all.

Later, after the nobles' reinforcements, especially Count Sauron's Dragonblood Warrior Legion, came by, the number of orcs decreased, but it was still a heavy pressure for the Viscount's territory.

More than once, Viscount Rhodes was suppressed and hid in his own castle. Every time he tried to rush out to rob food and land, he was beaten back. There were a large number of orcs roaming here.

Finally, the Viscount had to summon all the soldiers, take out his treasured swords and armor, and promise that a knight with outstanding performance could marry a daughter of the Rhodes family and obtain the title of lord.

Not only did he make promises, he also took out a lot of food and distributed money. He learned this from Ryan. Each soldier was given two silver coins, and if they killed five orcs, they would be rewarded with one silver coin, which made the soldiers crazy.

Under such circumstances, the war in the territory was finally stabilized, humans and orcs fought back and forth, and the Viscount finally did not have to hide in the castle in fear.

"The nobles' reinforcements will not come. Lord Thoron's dragonblood warrior army has already come once. They will only appear in other noble territories. And it seems that they are also being held back by the orc army."

"The honor and dignity of my family, Rhodes, can only be maintained by Rhodes' bloodline."

In the castle, with the coming of war, the Viscount finally woke up from his enjoyment and said to his wife.

"I will lead the army to take back the land that belongs to the Rhodes family. Those damned orcs who dared to plunder my wealth must atone for their sins with death."

Viscount Rhodes said firmly, his voice, which was originally a little frightened, gradually became louder. He had already believed in his own words and put them into action.

The nobility received education, but this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that the nobility was never just one person or one family, but an entire clan.

When Viscount Rhodes made his decision and was extremely determined, the entire Rhodes family, the Viscount's brothers, descendants, uncles, elders, and the knights who had inherited the surname Rhodes would all act according to his will.

This is a huge number for the Viscountry, because these "Rods" are also surrounded by slaves.

At this time, Viscount Rhodes suddenly realized how powerful he was.

"Kill those orcs and take back Rhodes' land. The honor of our family cannot be desecrated by the evil orcs!"

Viscount Rhodes was excited. He was thrilled. Every noble yearned to be on the battlefield. He commanded the army in his territory to continuously attack the orcs.

Maybe his command was not outstanding, but as soldiers and knights in action, they had to consider their own lives.

Somehow, they prevented the orcs from gathering on a large scale. One or two thousand orcs did not form a large-scale attack towards the Viscount's castle and were killed by humans in various geographical locations.

Viscount Rhodes regained his farmland, and this achievement made him extremely excited.

"The mine, the next one is the mine. There won't be too many orcs there. We will be able to recapture it easily."

The soldiers marched towards the direction of the mine. Indeed, there were not many orcs here, and the orcs looked down on the lumps of metal.

Viscount Rhodes continued to give orders, and the number of soldiers under his command strangely increased. It was unclear whether they were refugees from his own territory or refugees from other nobles who had fled here. Anyway, they were all his people now.

When Viscount Rhodes announced that he had completely recovered his land and wealth, it was not he himself who was shocked, but the other nobles around him.

They asked Viscount Rhodes for support. Immersed in victory, joy and glory, Viscount Rhodes was extremely generous. He sent his soldiers to support the surrounding nobles and brought his joy at the same time.

"The glory of Rhodes once blossomed in blood and fire. We will practice the glory of our ancestors!"

Viscount Rhodes felt that his name needed to be more prominent in the family tree because he had truly accomplished what neither his father nor his grandfather had been able to do.

This excitement even made him not stay in the maid's arms for several days, but walked among the army to feel the awe-inspiring gazes and the majesty of the Rhodes family.

Compared to this, those women are simply weak.

Viscount Rhodes was the first to do it, and when the second noble, and the third noble, began to talk about the glory and past of their families, the nobles of the North Wind Province were completely excited.

If given a choice, no one would want to be just a parasite. Now the opportunity is right in front of them. No matter whether they are capable or incompetent nobles, they only see the glory of their own nobility. They are completely excited and want to eliminate the nobles in the territory, so that a war that can be recorded in the books will take place under their command.

Let your name shine along with the names of the brilliant ancestors in your family.

Do the nobles want it? Yes, not to mention the nobles, even the slaves want it, because it is their chance to escape from slavery.

Some nobles died due to incompetence, but people are the same. They only see those who are successful, especially when there are a large number of successful people, so they think they are one of them.

And if someone could see the situation in the entire North Wind Province, they would understand that this was actually the awakening of the nobles under the general trend. The real key was that the noble army from Yinchuan County and the large number of troops under the two earls poured into the battlefield, blocking the huge number of orc legions, which led to the general success of the small nobles below.

The two earls were very powerful, and Yinchuan County was far away from the war, so the orcs never reached their doorstep, and therefore the nobles had the strength to support them.

The unorganized and undisciplined orcs will still cause casualties to humans when facing the assembled human army, but from a macro-numerical perspective, the nobles are fighting back.

"Take back the land, take back the food!"

The slogans were loud, and the army marched forward, trampling over corpses. Gradually, the orcs began to discover with horror that there were fewer of their companions around them, and humans began to hide.

The orcs finally realized that something was wrong. They were now well fed and not as wild as they were when they were hungry. It was just like when they went south a few years ago. When they had robbed enough food and tools, the orcs' aggressiveness would be epically weakened. The well-fed and lazy orcs did not have much combat power.

Humans were also surprised to find that orcs were not that scary after all.

The orcs began to be suppressed, and under the counterattack of the human army, they began to retreat, carrying pots, pans, and food sacks, and retreated northward to where they originally lived.

In the Xiangshan Plain, more than ten thousand soldiers have been stationed in the fortress. The nobles had to gather these soldiers. Facing the arrival of the orcs, they resisted nervously, and then found that the orcs could not break through the fortress where they were.

Now it was the orcs' turn to be afraid. They headed towards the forests on both sides, but it was impossible for them to advance on a large scale through the forests.

The orcs felt that there were enemies on all sides. The powerful black goat people organized some orc legions, and tens of thousands of orcs launched an attack on the human army.

They won the first time, but found that when the war broke out, the surrounding human armies had surrounded and supported them. The orcs also had another problem: they couldn't count and didn't know the number of humans. They just felt that they were densely packed in front of them.

This is enough to scare them. They are unable to face their own numbers and cannot judge the number of enemies. So should they fight or run away?

Looking at the good stuff on his back, the orc chose the latter.

A large number of orcs were killed or captured, a small number of orcs fled into the wilderness, and only a few orcs who still had some sense of direction fled towards the north.

The nobles were immersed in joy. Although there were still scattered orcs living around the territory and wandering on their land, it did not prevent the nobles from holding the banquet.

However, within two days, the nobles discovered that the champagne had been opened too early. They did defeat the orcs and regain their land, but the price was terrible.

The territory was sparsely populated and filled with broken houses. The ruined territory made the nobles feel depressed. After the joy of victory in the war faded away, they began to look at the casualty figures with trembling.

Perhaps, with so many deaths and the food supply also reduced by a large margin, this winter...can the survivors survive?

This was a cold joke. Without population, the nobles' expressions became gloomy.

When he learned that other nobles had also suffered heavy losses, as well as huge losses in population and food, he felt a lot more balanced.

"The Xiangshan Plain Fortress cannot be lost again."

The nobles realized this and became even more angry that the previous army had lost the fortress. If the fortress had not been lost, how could their territory have fallen to such a state!

Responsibility needs to be taken and anger needs to be vented, but the nobles can't find a target to vent their anger. The Xiangshan Plain Fortress fell, and most of the people in charge have turned into corpses.

"I will personally inspect the Xiangshan Plain!"

It was Viscount Landa again. He was so unlucky that his territory and city were invaded by orcs, and most of the nobles around him died. He could only maintain his status by selling pitiful things within the empire.

The decision he made this time surprised the nobles. Why was it that Viscount Landa was getting closer to the orcs every time he was defeated?

However, the nobles did not object. By taking on this heavy responsibility on their own initiative, they saved themselves energy and effort.

Viscount Landa also had his own considerations. Baron Ryan wrote him a letter, telling him that there was a lot of wealth hidden in the Xiangshan Plain, and that his chance to restore his family might be there.

However, Baron Ryan did not tell him what it was, he only mentioned the spices.

Viscount Landa also knew about Spice. They had made profits from this wealth before, but he didn't understand what the huge amount of wealth Ryan mentioned had to do with it.

But he has no choice now. Too many people have died in Hanshan City, and he does not have many people under his command. He needs to find other directions.

Ryan had no time to pay attention to the news from the nobles. After returning to the Frozen Territory, countless things came to him, and the most troublesome thing was that the werewolves of the 'Gag' clan began to enter the mountain forest area he had circled on a large scale.

Tens of thousands of werewolves, tens of thousands of werewolves, and each one is an elite warrior. Their sharp claws, agile limbs, ferocious heads and terrifying fangs, and even the coarse hair on their bodies can pose a terrible threat to humans.

The Frozen Territory Lord was facing such a huge enemy alone. Ryan had already appeared at the front line, and the soldiers around him were born one by one. With his blessing, a group of strong human soldiers would appear in fifteen days. They had the physique of apprentice knights and could lift a stone weighing more than 100 kilograms over their heads for dozens of seconds.

The key point is that the Knight's Breathing Method will be understood by them along with the blessing, saving the time of learning and exploration, just like instinct.

In the days that follow, these fledgling soldiers may at any time give birth to the seeds of life in their bodies and move towards becoming official knights.

Ryan helped them get started, and what followed was persistence and patience, as well as the intake of life energy.

Ryan has almost seen the gap in resources that he will urgently need after the war, but if he can't even eliminate the current threat, what can he talk about the future with?

"We must build a good fort defense line."

Ryan said this as the soldiers left him and headed to the front lines to fight the werewolves in the rugged environment.

"These damned humans must be stopped from repairing their defenses."

Weiss, the leader of the Garg, said with a cruel look in his eyes. He had scars on his body. Originally, he wanted to use his powerful strength to defeat these humans like he had broken the human city before, but he didn't understand why a holy domain combat force as powerful as his would appear in such a place.

The key point is that he was injured by the other party. If it weren't for the help of other werewolves in the Gag clan, he might have left more things in front of the human alchemist.

Since we cannot crush the enemy, all we can rely on is the soldiers of both sides and the wisdom of the commanders.

Weiss's eyes revealed cunning, and he thought of a way to deal with those humans.

How do wolves hunt their prey?
They cannot compare in strength with cows, in speed with cheetahs, or in lethality with tigers and lions, but in the food chain, wolves are often the ones that will never go hungry.

They hunt in packs, using a hunting style that is unique to wolves.

……

"Be careful, the werewolf is coming!"

Fenrir's people shouted and ran out with spears in their hands. Soon, they were fighting with a werewolf in the mud. Their claws scratched his hide and their spears stabbed him. Their blood dyed the mud under their feet red. The surrounding construction workers panicked and hid in the ditches.

Soon, the werewolves went away one by one, and the fighting Fenrir hunters did not chase them out. In such a rugged environment, the werewolves were as good at hunting and sneak attacks as they were.

After being blessed, the difference between Fenrir's hunters and werewolves is who is more proactive and has the upper hand.

“They didn’t leave.”

A Fenrir hunter stroked the white wolf beside him. The hair on the latter's neck was still taut, telling him that the werewolf had not left.

Half an hour later, the werewolf appeared again silently and attacked several construction workers. The hunter quickly rushed over and fought with the werewolf again.

This time, the werewolves left behind a corpse, but they still did not give up. They hid around and stared at this side fiercely.

Now everyone knew that the werewolves were watching them. Not only were the construction workers nervous, but the hunters didn't dare to relax either.

The way the werewolves didn't go far away and didn't attack was familiar to Fenrir's people who had been dealing with wolves and hunting all their lives.

"This is their best hunting method. They keep injuring their prey, forcing it to be unable to escape until it becomes weak. Then the wolves will rush over and bite the weak prey to death."

"They are trying little by little, watching when we are weak enough to kill us with one bite."

Fenrir's people are patient, but there is one problem: this is not a pure hunt.

They are the defending party, while the wolves are the attacking party. The hunters cannot move or set traps, and can only passively fight with the werewolves.

Because they had to guard these builders and alchemists to build a solid military fortress.

"Request support."

On the other side of the mountain, Bogold received news that there were more than one or two places that needed her support.

The constant calls for help made the arrogant girl a little irritable, and at a certain point she simply ignored all the news.

"Brothers, follow me and kill these disgusting werewolves!"

The girl with cold and ruthless eyes shouted angrily and rushed towards the north with the violent war bear army. She would not save those battles that could be solved by a few armored bears. She wanted to kill those thousands of werewolves.

Thousands of armored bears are the toughest bones to chew for werewolves. Hearing the roars of the armored bears, the werewolf leader Weiss couldn't help but have a headache.
