In the middle of the night, dark clouds filled the sky.
Except for the little flames from the torches, the front army city was completely shrouded in darkness.
The human soldiers who had been silent for two days suddenly came out from underground, and the huge shouts of killing instantly awakened the entire sleeping city.
The human soldiers not only raided the orcs but also set fires everywhere.
The orcs never relaxed their vigilance against the human soldiers. After the initial panic, they immediately organized a counterattack, and the nearby orc troops were quickly transferred over.
After a short battle, before the orc troops completely surrounded them, the human soldiers dragged the bodies of several dead companions and quickly retreated underground. The orc soldiers also paid the price of dozens of casualties under the human raid.
Just when the orcs thought that this was just another dying struggle of the human soldiers, Arthur quietly crawled out from underground at the other end, far away from the battlefield.
Arthur, emerging from the ground, quickly rushed to the shadow of the nearest house, and then used a second-level "Quicksand" to return the favor. The soil around the small hole he had drilled out of slid back and filled up gently, and after a while, only a slightly sunken small earth pit remained.
Arthur crouched down in the shadow to hide his figure, carefully observed the surrounding environment, and when he was sure that there were no orcs around, he stuck close to the wall and quickly moved to the next shadow where he could hide.
Then he stopped to observe, and then moved to the next target point. During the whole process of moving, his steps were light and silent, and he always kept his body in the dark shadow. And the whole process was extremely patient, and he would never move his body until he was absolutely safe.
There were several times when patrolling orcs passed by Arthur not far away, and Arthur held his breath and squatted in the dark corner without moving. If you didn't get closer to look, the black shadow was just a piece of wood or a bucket standing against the wall.
Arthur's current ability to sneak in the dark is thanks to his thief master Tony. Tony not only taught him the "shadow stealth" steps, but also taught him many thief skills.
Arthur sneaked slowly under the city wall, bit by bit.
Arthur climbed up the wall with his bare hands like a gecko climbing a wall. As a fourth-level lieutenant, Arthur climbed to the side of the parapet of the more than ten-meter-high city wall in a few steps without interference.
The most troublesome thing is that there are guards patrolling back and forth on the city wall. There is an orc warrior standing guard every ten meters. It is not easy to climb over the city wall without making any noise.
Arthur did the opposite and threw a bursting fireball far away to the side.
The fireball that suddenly exploded in the dark instantly attracted the attention of all the guards on the city wall, and the eyes of the nearby orcs were all attracted by the location where the fireball exploded.
Arthur took advantage of this opportunity to climb the wall. Without stopping, he leaped over the seven or eight meter wide wall in two leaps. He jumped down from the other side, regardless of the height of more than ten meters.
An orc felt the sound of wind behind him. When he turned around, he seemed to see a black shadow flashing and disappearing. The orc rubbed his eyes hurriedly, not sure whether he was dazzled or someone really jumped down.
The orc came to the battlement quickly and looked out of the city. There was nothing in the darkness below the city...
The camp of the Snowstorm Legion, near a corner behind the camp.
Molar was drinking alone in the tent. There were three empty wine bottles on the ground. He had drunk so much that his eyes were a little straight, but he still had no intention of stopping.
Since all the information about Arthur and his friends was taken away by the lieutenant of Gino, no one has come to him again. On the contrary, his treatment has improved a lot. As a magician accompanying the army, he was not only assigned an independent tent, but also had a guard who followed him everywhere and listened to his orders.
How could Moral, a shrewd man, not understand that the other party's real purpose was to monitor him.
What happened to Arthur and his friends in the Orc Wasteland was still a secret so far, and Moral naturally could not know it. Therefore, he always felt guilty that he had harmed Arthur and his friends, and only after getting drunk could he get some comfort.
"Boss, I'm sorry for you!" Moral sighed deeply and reached out to grab the next wine jug.
"What did you do to make me sorry?" Arthur flashed in as the curtain was lifted.
"Boss, is it really you? Did I see a ghost?" Moral rubbed his drunken eyes, stood up and opened his arms to hug Arthur.
"Stay away from me." Arthur pushed Moral's chest with his palm, pushing Moral back two steps.
Moral rubbed his chest and smiled as he came closer again, "I feel the pain, it's not a dream, Boss, I finally see you again."
"What have you done to let me down?"
Moral rubbed his nose subconsciously, "You must have heard it wrong, how could I do something to let my brother down?"
Moral has the habit of touching his nose when he lies or is nervous, how could he hide this from Arthur, but Arthur didn't have time to care about his lies for the time being, and said hurriedly: "I have something important to see the legion commander, you can think of a way to see him as quickly as possible? "
Moral swallowed his saliva, "Boss, the legion commander is Prince Hobbes, you can see him just like a small squadron?"
"Nonsense, if I can see him directly, why would I need to find you?"
Moral scratched his head, "I can't do anything about the legion commander, but I can try the deputy legion commander."
Arthur sighed lightly, "Okay, let's try it out!"
It was late at night, and the lights were still on in the tent of Into.
He sat at the table thinking, the tea on the table had gone cold, but he didn't take a sip.
The tent meetings in the past two days were not going well. Except for himself, no general was willing to attack the city, and even the old prince agreed with the strategy of siege without fighting.
Even if it is confirmed that Arthur, Huey and others are still in the city, the army will probably not attack the city. No rational general would choose to sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers for a few hundred people. It is Gino who has mixed personal feelings into it.
As for Prince Hobbs, how could he not know the information he has? It is no secret to the old prince that Huey and Arthur are trapped in the city together. He probably hopes that Huey will die in the front military city. Huey died in the battle with the orcs, and Rex could not be angry with him no matter how angry he was, so that their royal family would not let the blood of a half-orc be tainted.
This kind of intrigue in the imperial family gives Gino a headache just thinking about it.
"Report." The lieutenant called softly and walked in, "Captain, someone wants to see you!"
King frowned, "I don't see anyone."
The lieutenant hesitated for a moment, but continued, "It's that, Arthur."
"Who do you say?" King stood up and knocked over the teacup on the table.
