Chapter 734: Ambush
North border.
The Montenegro Mountains stand proudly.
The endless mountains, with white snow-capped mountains at the top, look extremely majestic.
In the border area, the weather is cold and snowflakes are floating in the sky from time to time.
It is near the northern border, and the snowflakes here are amazingly big! It is as big as the palm!
There is a poem that says: The snowflakes in Yanshan are as big as mats, which is needed for artistic rendering. At this moment, snowflakes as big as palms are falling from the sky.
A large group of people, hiding in a pine tree, looked at the north with vigilance.
The heavy snow has almost covered the pine forest!
"Senior brother, are you sure about the information? It's almost dark, will those orcs come to attack the city?"
As he spoke, it was Guo Jingming. He reached out to take a piece of snowflake that fell in front of him, put it in his mouth and took a bite, and then threw it away again.
Guo Jingming was asking his senior brother Wu Lang.
Wu Lang's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he looked ahead with a bright look. He said calmly: "Jingming, don't you worry, the people in the town say that there are orcs nearby in the past two days to observe them secretly? This may be their spy. Let's wait a little longer. When it gets dark, we will withdraw back to the town."
One or two miles behind them was a town called Heijin Town.
The town is not big, with two or three thousand people.
The border town is not conducive to life, but it is rich in iron ore. The iron produced here is strong and tough, but it is a good material for building weapons. Therefore, in such a harsh environment, such a town can be produced.
The so-called Black Gold Town does not produce gold here, but the iron ore here is of good quality and is as popular as gold.
Such a good town naturally attracted the attention of the entire northern country.
This is also the reason why Guo Dasong, the lord of the northern country, sent his son to come: the orcs should not be allowed to destroy this town full of iron tools.
“Hu—Hu—”
The wind in the sky became strong.
As the wind blows, the snowflakes as big as a palm become stronger, and it feels a little painful when hitting people!
This wind is also strange. Because it is separated by the tall Montenegro Mountains, the north wind blows from the top of the mountain range, crosses here, but returns from the south.
After all, they are all long-lived practitioners. These disciples of the Guo family remain unmoved without Wu Lang's orders.
"Hey, newcomer, why are you trembling?"
Guo Jingming saw a handsome young man next to him trembling and asked sternly.
This young man is nothing but Wu Junlin.
"I-I wasn't trembling." Wu Junlin was a little innocent.
"If you don't tremble, why are you trembling?" Guo Jingming seemed bored, so he teased the new Wu Junlin.
"My father said he is friends with your father. I didn't expect that you were so brave?" Guo Jingming smiled.
"I'm not afraid, I'm cold." Wu Junlin said. As soon as Wu Junlin opened his mouth, the heat emitted from his mouth turned into powder and drifted with the wind.
"It's cold? You're cold? Are we not cold?" Guo Jingming was a little unhappy when he heard this.
Wu Junlin really regrets coming here. Before he came, he didn't know that the conditions here were so bad.
This is really too cold!
Drops of water turn into ice! Frost!
Wu Junlin knew that the other party was Guo Jingming, the son of the Guo family. He didn't want to offend this guy. After all, his family was taking refuge here.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
Wu Junlin explained with a shy face: "Young City Lord, you don't know that my family is in the south and I have never seen such weather before!"
Wu Lang looked at Wu Junlin, but he felt that he looked very friendly, so he also said, "Okay, Jingming, do you think everyone is as solid as you, and you are all thinking about coming out to wander!"
"Hehe, senior brother, you know me. I like this kind of challenge. It's really boring to stay in the city and mansion all day." Guo Jingming said with a smile.
“There is a situation ahead!”
Someone whispered reminder!
This really shocked a group of people in one sentence!
The people who were originally guarding quietly suddenly became nervous!
Sure enough, on the vast snow, some half-human and half-beasted guys appeared in their sight.
This is the first time these people have seen a real orc!
These orcs are bigger than humans and taller than some strong men.
What was even more surprising was that these orcs suddenly looked like humans, and were walking upright, holding weapons in their hands, but their heads were very scary!
The orcs that were displayed in front of everyone have different heads and various animals, looking like monsters.
"Don't panic, follow the previous arrangements and prepare for battle." Wu Lang said to everyone.
The place where they are is a must-pass way to the town of Heijin, and they are ready to fight.
More than 300 people were ambushed on both sides of the road, and fifty people holding bows and arrows on one side were ready to give them a warning when the orcs were still far away.
Wu Lang and Guo Jingming stared ahead, but their originally resolute faces gradually became a little anxious!
The orcs appeared in front of them were no less than a thousand people, and they were still following them continuously!
"Senior brother, the information is wrong." Guo Jingming whispered, "Don't the information say that in a small town like this, orcs only dispatch hundreds of orcs, and there are thousands of people!"
Wu Lang also had a serious expression. He stared ahead, staring at the orc, less than ten feet away, without saying a word.
"Senior Brother--" Guo Jingming hesitated for a moment and said, "They have a lot of people and power. I'm afraid we are not their opponents, so it's better to--"
"What's worse?" Wu Lang asked in a low voice, while looking at Guo Jingming meaningfully.
"It's better - let's keep our troops and let them go." Guo Jingming said.
"Oh?" Wu Lang smiled bitterly and said, "Let them go, the thousands of people in the town will be miserable. So what's the point of coming here this time?"
After hearing what Wu Lang said, Guo Jingming was a little unhappy. He looked into the distance again. The orcs all looked cruel and strong, and they seemed to have strong ability to resist strikes!
Three hundred people against more than one thousand orcs?
Moreover, the number of orcs is increasing.
This made Guo Jingming feel worried.
The town was destroyed, and there were hundreds of such towns in the north.
If all the people in the town die, what if it happens? You can’t get another 300 practitioners, right?
...
Guo Jingming thought of retreating.
He looked at Wu Lang, but Wu Lang looked ahead coldly.
"Senior brother, are you sure you want to fight?" Guo Jingming asked in a low voice.
Wu Lang nodded and said, "Jingming, this is our first battle against orcs. I don't want to just watch orcs pass by us and dare not fight."
"But--" What else did Guo Jingming want to say.
"Jingming, look--" Wu Lang pointed to the orcs getting closer and closer and said in a low voice: "These orcs seem strong and ferocious, but their formation is very chaotic and unorganized, and they do not look well-trained."
