Red Dragon Emperor

Chapter 367 Barton's Revenge (Part 2)

The ping-ping sound of iron tools echoed in the forest.

In the blink of an eye, Barton fought several times with the hostile orcs, but no one was able to take advantage of the opponent.

The Gnoll ranger waved his short blade to push aside the oncoming grapple, and thrust out the long sword in his hand, pointing directly at the orc's throat, but the orc retreated to avoid it.

The Gnoll's sharp ears trembled slightly, and the roar of the wind wolf companion, the roar of the Lizardman warrior, and the drawing of the bow of the enemy Gnoll ranger came from his ears, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.

The wind wolf is a medium-sized extraordinary beast with strong muscles and sharp claws. It is a bit stronger than ordinary mid-level professionals, but it is also at a disadvantage in the face of the joint siege of the enemy wolf man ranger and lizard man warrior.

At this time, the wind wolf had already been shot by an arrow.

The enemy is very cunning, and they don't fight head-on with the wind wolf. The lizard warriors stand in front, while the jackals shoot cold arrows behind them.

The wounds on the wind wolf continued to increase.

If it continues like this, within ten minutes, the wind wolf will lose too much blood and affect its state. Once the enemy seizes the opportunity...

Listening to the wailing of the animal companion's roar, Barton was anxious and his brain was running fast, thinking of ways to turn the tide of the battle.

The orc opponent in front of him was very conservative and did not confront him head-on, apparently with the idea of ​​waiting for his companions to finish off the wind wolf, and then fight more and less.

In terms of strength, Barton is stronger than the orcs, but it is by no means an overwhelming advantage. Coupled with the conservative style of play of the orcs, it is impossible to win a decisive victory in a short time.

Time is running out!

Barton felt ruthless in his heart, and was about to activate the family secret technique. Even though the sequelae of the secret technique were serious, he couldn't control so much at the moment.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

"If I remember correctly..." Thinking so in his heart, Barton swung his blade away from the long sword stabbed by the orc, and quickly backed away.

"Hahaha! Coward! Are you going to abandon your little pet and run away?!" The orc prodded his opponent with words, laughed and chased after him, sticking to his opponent to prevent him from escaping.

Our own side has a great advantage, and we only need to wait for the two partners to deal with the wind wolf, and the three join forces to encircle, there is a great chance that the enemy will be left behind.

The heads of high-level professionals are very valuable.

Due to the claw hook, the jackal "did not dare" to expose his back to the enemy, so he could only retreat while fighting, which greatly slowed down his escape speed.

"You eggless trash! You ran away alone! Incompetent! Coward..." While chasing, the orc taunted, and all kinds of vicious words came out of his mouth.

"The bastards of the Red Nest! I will fight with you!" After being greeted by the orcs to the female relatives in the family,

Gnoll Ranger - Barton could no longer "suppress" the anger in his heart.

He concentrated the strength of his whole body, and a faint energy fluorescence was attached to the blade, and he stabbed at the orc with all his strength.

Ranger Cheats - Strike of the Viper!

As soon as the jackal changed from running away, he suddenly launched an attack. The orc was startled and quickly dodged sideways.

Afterwards, the Jackal launched a storm-like attack, and the long sword danced into a wall, pressing down on the orc.

The orc's face was solemn, and he didn't dare to take the attack of the wolf man ranger, but he also understood that this kind of unique attack would consume a lot of energy and stamina. As long as he survived the difficulties in front of him, the subsequent battle would be much easier.

Perhaps without the help of his partners, he can also solve the powerful enemy in front of him.

The Gnoll ranger didn't counterattack indiscriminately, but used the offensive as a cover to force the orcs to the location in memory.

Thoughtful and unintentional, finally...

Under the onslaught of the wolf man, the orc took a step back and stepped on the knee-high grass.

The moment the feet landed on the ground, a coolness rushed from the soles of the feet to the Tianling Gai, and the orc's scalp tingled to react, but it was too late.

Kacha~!

The mechanism arranged in the grass was touched, the trap closed, the sharp sawtooth bit the orc's foot tightly, and the special spikes pierced deeply into the flesh and bone of the orc.

"Ah!" The orc couldn't help crying out in pain.

"Success!" Barton was overjoyed.

The Whispering Forest is the territory of the empire. The Third Army has laid a large number of traps in the Whispering Forest. In order to prevent the traps from harming their own people, the military has made a special trap distribution map.

Of course, the trap distribution map is an important military secret. In order to prevent leakage, not everyone is qualified to view it.

Only high-level and above, or the captain who leads a team of soldiers, is eligible to view the trap map, and Barton is a high-level ranger who is qualified to memorize the trap distribution map.

After some temptation, the orcs were finally led into the trap, laying the foundation for victory in one fell swoop.

"Go to hell!" With a roar, Barton stabbed out with his long sword, and the sharp tip of the sword cut through the air, bringing out the sound of howling wind.

The orc resisted the pain, and at the same time shouted: "Wait! I surrender!"

Barton ignored it and continued to attack with his sword.

"Only a dead enemy is a good enemy," this is the teaching of Lord Hogg Riverpaw, the head of the Third Army of the Empire, to his soldiers.

The orc defended with all his strength, and he could parry the wolf man's attack for a while, but he knew that he couldn't beat the wolf man with his injured foot, and he couldn't escape, and he didn't feel any pain in the injured part.

This is not a good thing!

Applying poison to bear traps is the usual practice of the Third Legion.

After so many years of confrontation, the Red Nest side also understands that if there is no special antidote, the poisoned person will die of poisoning if he can't return to his fortress.

As for his two companions, the lizard man and the wolf man had already abandoned him and fled after realizing the situation here. The sound of the wind wolf's angry pursuit getting farther and farther was the best proof.

"I surrender! I am valuable! I know the attack plan of the storm fortress!" The orc shouted extremely fast.

The Raiding Fortress is one of the many military fortresses built by Red Nest on the border of the Forsyth Empire. It is called the Raiding Fortress because the main battle clan in the fortress is the Raiding Orc tribe, and because the fortress ranks seventh from south to north, it is also Known as Fort Seven.

Fortress No. 7 is the fortress where Barton's enemy, the ogre Godard Bonebreaker, is located.

Barton stopped the attack in his hands, and the blade that pierced the orc's chest stopped on the surface of the leather armor. The blade had already pierced the skin. If the orc was later, he would already be a corpse by this time.

Seeing the wolf man stopped attacking, the orc secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and threw away the weapon in his hand.

Seeing the orc throw the long sword and the hook rope a few meters away, Barton relaxed a little, but the long sword in his hand was still pressed against the orc's chest.

Without waiting for the Gnoll to ask, the orc immediately took the initiative to explain: "I know the attack plan of the stormy fortress, and I am willing to use this plan in exchange for my life."

"Why should I trust you?"

The orc said directly: "The Raiding Orc clan plans to lead the Boneshatter Ogre and the Bloodthirsty Lizardman through a secret passage to launch a surprise attack on you. They have been planning this for a long time. Our team is to explore the way." Advance team, you let me go, this information can make great contributions to you, and the title is not a problem."

Hearing what the orc said, the wolf man had to listen to it if he didn't believe it.

"Don't try to escape, or you will know the consequences," the jackal raised the medicine bottle in his hand, and chased after the two enemies in the direction of escape.

If it is true what the orcs said, the Lizardmen and Jackals must not be let go!

Looking at the wolf man going away, the orc's expression changed, and finally he sighed helplessly, and lowered his body to handle the trap on his feet.

"Woo~!" The trap was taken off, the special spikes were pulled out, and the blood from the wound was already an ominous black.

the other side.

"Ah~!" The lizard man was shot in the heart by an arrow from behind, let out a scream, and fell limp in the forest.

Barton put away his bow and arrow, and looked to his side. The wind wolf was trotting over from a distance, and the blood-stained hair on his mouth explained the fate of the hostile wolf man.

"My little cutie," Barton said, facing the wind wolf partner, looking distressed at the three arrows stuck on the wind wolf partner.

After approaching and checking carefully, he was relieved, the place where the arrow was inserted was not a vital point, and it would be good to rest for a while.

Carefully took out the arrow from the Wind Wolf and applied healing powder on it. The Gnoll Ranger returned and saw the orc sitting against a tree, and the trap was casually thrown aside.

Seeing the return of the wolf man, the orc stretched out his hand and said eagerly, "Give me the antidote!"

"Tell me first, what is your plan?"

"How can you guarantee that I tell you the plan, you won't go back on your word and kill me?!"

Barton frowned: "I, Barton Demon Hunter, in the name of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Empire, assure you that as long as you fully tell me the plan to plunder the clan, I will guarantee your safety."

"Hmph," the orc snorted disdainfully, "I'm a pirate, and the most untrustworthy thing in this world is guarantee!"

"What do you want?"

"You give me the antidote. After the antidote, I will tell you the plan, and then we will go our separate ways."

"impossible!"

Barton put the sword on the orc's neck: "You have no right to negotiate! Say it! If you don't say it, I will kill you!"

The orc grinned and said, "Kill it! Don't blame me for not reminding you, the plan to plunder the clan is perfect. Once they succeed, several towns will be turned into flames!"

"you!"

Barton was resentful, but he had to worry about the orc's threat: "You tell me part of the plan first, and I will judge whether it is true or not, otherwise how would I know if you lied to me."

This time, the orcs did not refuse: "The Raiders found a passage that can bypass the Whispering Forest and lead directly to the interior of the empire."

"It's impossible! The Third Legion's defense in the Whispering Forest will be impeccable!"

"That's right, you have managed the Whispering Forest very well, keeping the Red Nest army out like an iron wall, but what if it's underground?!"

Barton's heart tightened, and he stared at the orc: "The Underdark?"

The orc did not show any weakness, and looked at the wolf man: "The antidote!"

"The last question, how do you know about such a secret plan? Are you a high-ranking member of the Raiding Clan?"

"no."

The orc quickly waved his hand to deny: "I'm a friend of the chief's son of the Raiding Clan. I used to work with him on the same pirate ship. Later, I couldn't get along in the stormy sea. I followed him to the Red Nest and came to the Raiding Fortress. The plan was his It was revealed while drunk."

"I'm just a pirate. I don't have a sense of belonging to the Red Nest, and I have no relatives in the Red Nest. There is no pressure to betray the Red Nest. You can rest assured that the information I said is true."

"Okay, I've answered your question, give me the antidote."

"I have no antidote."

The orc's face changed drastically, and he roared angrily: "You lied to me?!"

"Don't worry," Barton took a step back and took out the previously displayed medicine bottle from his arms: "Although this can't completely detoxify, it can slow down the spread of the poison. It is specially prepared by the Legion to prevent its own people from being accidentally injured by traps. The antidote is only available within the Legion, you have to go back with me to survive."

After speaking, the jackal threw the medicine bottle over.

The orc caught the medicine bottle, his expression changed, but he couldn't care less, pulled out the stopper, poured out the small black particles inside, and swallowed it.

The moment he took the pill, his expression changed. The black pill was too bitter and had a strange smell.

"Bah, bah, bah! What is this pill made of?! Why does it still smell bad?!"

Seeing the strange expression on the wolf man's face, the orc frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Oh, this pill was crushed and applied externally."

"..."

After a lot of tossing, the Gnoll returned to the legion with the orc pirate with his hands bound, handed the orc to his superiors, and then went to exchange for officers.

The orc pirates were taken to the interrogation room, waiting for interrogation by specialized personnel.

Confronted with a plan that threatens a town within the Empire, Legion interrogators are quick to reach the interrogation room.

………………

The follow-up to the Orc Pirates, the Wolf Man——Button didn't know, that was something that the big men of the legion should worry about.

He handed over the ears of the enemy soldiers to the personnel who exchanged military merit, and after getting the military merit certificate, he returned to the camp.

This is a camp in the forest. The wood within 50 meters around the outpost has been cleared. The third army uses local materials, sharpens the felled logs, and nails them into the ground under the force of the ogre. They formed a circle and made a two-story wall. Four arrow towers were built on the inside of the wall, and there were soldiers on duty day and night on the arrow towers.

The remaining wood was used to build huts inside the walls for soldiers to live in.

Due to the limited space in the camp, a large number of soldiers crowded into the same room.

And Barton Demon Hunter, as a high-level ranger who is well-known in the entire Third Legion, has a separate room. Although the room is a little smaller, the living conditions are much better than that of ordinary soldiers.

Back in the warm hut, he lay down in peace.

After lying in the grass all night and after another fierce battle, he was very tired.

Back at the safety of camp, he quickly fell asleep.

Two days later, Patton received a secret order to gather in Taji Town in the rear with the camp elite.

Although Taji Town is considered a border town, it is not the frontline town, and is still behind Wolfheart Fortress.

However, in such a rear town, a large number of elite soldiers of the Third Army were concentrated.

All the soldiers and acquaintances were talking about it, guessing the purpose of their gathering here, and Barton had a general guess in his mind that the gathering here might be related to the orc pirates he had brought back earlier.
