Chapter 41 Extraordinary Mission
Orc wasteland, in a sparse pine forest.
Arthur's soldiers tied the silver-horned bucks to the trunks and sat in groups under the trees for a nap.
In order not to be locked by orcs, Arthur and his cavalry regiment never stayed in the same place for a long time. Most of the time they were moving. On the back of the bucks, the soldiers had already learned to take advantage of all the time to stop and rest.
Taking advantage of the soldiers' rest time, Arthur was summoning officers above the captain of the Cavalry Regiment to convene a meeting that concerns the fate of the Cavalry Regiment.
Arthur stood under a tall tree, and more than fifty officers sat neatly in front of him, and everyone looked at Arthur with respect and admiration.
The young captain conquered every soldier and officer of the cavalry regiment with his actions. These days, Arthur led them to loot more than ten orc tribes of all sizes and kill thousands of orc warriors. The cavalry regiment's own combat losses were no more than forty. Before this, no human officer could have achieved such a record in combating orcs.
Especially in the previous battle with Leon, Arthur's powerful martial arts convinced every soldier, defeating the direct descendants of the Golden Lion family and forcing the opponent's troops to retreat, which was a record that could be shown off by any human officer.
"There is one thing I want to ask for your opinions. If you don't want to participate, I won't force you to take risks with me." Arthur went straight to the topic without any preparation.
"Captain, don't ask for advice, just give orders directly. You just want to lead troops into the Orc Court now, and we will go with you." The monkey stood up and expressed his opinion.
"Captain, give the order."
"Captain, just say what to do."
The officers stood up one after another, and the victory after another made the soldiers of the entire cavalry regiment have absolute trust and obedience to Arthur.
Arthur raised his hand and all his voice stopped immediately. This is the army, and the orders are prohibited.
Arthur smiled with relief, "Sit down, thank you for your trust in me, but I must tell you the whole thing and then you will make the choice."
After all the officers sat down again, Arthur continued, "You may not know that after the battle with Leon, I made a deal with him. If we promise to do something for him, he will find a way to help us return to the territory of the human race in return."
As soon as Arthur finished speaking, he was talking fiercely below, and many people could not hide their excited expressions on their faces. Most of them were captured by orcs for several years. Nothing was more urgent and more obsessive than the desire to go home.
Buck, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly stood up, "Captain, I don't agree with you to make this deal with the orcs."
Arthur and the officers below were surprised, and they did not expect Buck to take the lead in opposing it.
"Captain, those orcs are simply unreliable. This is probably a trick they used after their defeat," Buck explained.
"I think Buck makes sense. The Lion Man is the smartest among the orcs. You must never trust the Golden Lion family." Silas also had Buck and the same concerns.
After the excitement just now, the officers gradually calmed down and began to think about the possibility of this matter.
"You can rest assured that I knew Leon many years ago. Although he came from the Golden Lion family, he had an unresolvable grudge against Elliot, the Lion King of the Golden Lion family. Therefore, I can guarantee that this transaction will never be a trap, and I believe he will fulfill his promise later."
After hearing what Arthur said, Buck, Silas and others no longer had any disagreements.
"Tell me what the orcs want us to do? The other party's request must be not simple, right?" Jose suddenly thought of the key to the problem.
Arthur nodded solemnly, "He wants us to help him kill an orc, Hicks, the son of the Lion King Elliot."
"Ah, I won't let my crow hit the point, are you really going to take us into the orc court?" The monkey's face turned green, "Boss, don't take my words seriously!"
Arthur gave the monkey a blank look, "I'm not so stupid as to take the initiative to die. Leon has internal news, and Eliot is preparing to let Hicks go to the front line to supervise the army. Leon has a way to get Hicks' itinerary. He hopes we intercept Hicks on the road."
"Oh, that's much easier." The monkey nodded subconsciously.
"It's easy, do you know how many guards he has?" Jose next to him knocked the monkey's head heavily.
"Jose is right. Hicks itself is not difficult to deal with. According to Leon's intelligence, Hicks is the strength of the fifth and sixth level orc warriors, the most dangerous aspect of the mission is how to solve the orc guards around Hicks."
"Can't we use the old method? First transfer some of his guard soldiers, and then the main cavalry force will attack the remaining orc guards." The monkey suggested fearlessly.
Arthur smiled bitterly and reminded the monkey: "You still don't realize Hicks' identity. Although Hicks is not Eliot's only son, he is the one that the Lion King values the most. It is said that Eliot has long been determined to confirm Hicks as his heir, but there are voices within. Hicks was sent to the front line of the human race this time, because the Lion King intends to train him in the war against the human race and accumulate political capital for him."
"What is Hicks' escort team?" someone asked below.
"Because it was a secret trip, it is said that the guard is not large in size, with only two orc guards of the 100-man team and some personal guards."
"Then we are afraid of a bird, kill them all!" The monkey stood up excitedly.
"The two hundred-man teams came from the Imperial Guards of the Orcs Court, both of them were level 3 orc warriors. In addition, Eliot also specially selected fifty Golden Lion Guards to protect their sons from his personal bodyguard, and at least they were level 4 orc warriors."
"Then you'll hit a bird, and you won't finish it at once." The monkey sat back in embarrassment.
Arthur's cavalry regiment is relatively strong. After all, most of the warriors are only level 2 warriors, and they can only catch up with level 3 orcs with strong equipment and individual strength. However, when facing the elite Golden Lion Guard among the orcs, they are still only crushed.
"Of course this is still an ordinary orc guard. As a lion prince, he must have high-level orc guards around him. Conservatively, there are two to three orc warriors. In addition, it may also..."
Arthur paused for a while and said slowly: "There may be an orc hero following the guard."
Orc hero, that is the peak warrior known as the human warrior.
In front of the powerful orc hero, Arthur and his cavalry regiment were weak and vulnerable.
