Chapter 28: Fort Vick

After Walder's death, the orc soldiers finally lost their will to fight. They fled in panic and died in the pursuit of human soldiers.

Only a few powerful orc professionals killed the soldiers who blocked the road and fled into the mountains and forests on both sides of the road.

Taking advantage of the orcs' panic and retreat, Richard seized the opportunity and successfully shot and killed a third-level snake man again.

"Kill the third-level snake man and reward 2000 experience points."

This battle, Richard gained a lot, accumulated 15,500 experience points, and won a lot of merits.

Now his experience points are enough to upgrade the breathing method.

Richard took advantage of the gap in the battle to open the experience panel and added 8,700 experience points to the breathing method of the Mad Lion Legion.

The remaining experience can also upgrade the fighting skills of the Northern Legion.

When the breathing method was advanced, Richard felt a heat coming from his body, and his strength, agility, and physical attributes were significantly improved.

Richard opened the attribute panel.

Richard Harland

Strength: 10.7

Agility: 2.9

Stamina: 4.2

Spirit: 9.3

Mad Lion Legion Breathing Technique: Level 5 (56/20000)

Grant Kingdom Basic Swordsmanship: Level 4 (Extreme)

Archery: Level 4 (674/10000)

Riding: Level 4 (Extreme)

Northern Legion Fighting Technique: Level 4 (91/10000)

Experience: 2900

It was found that strength increased by 2 points, stamina and agility increased by 0.3 points each, and mental strength increased by 0.2 points, which are exactly the same as the attributes increased by the first advanced professional.

Breathing Technique was successfully advanced, and Richard's professional level was also upgraded to Level 2.

With the increase in attributes, the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

Richard found the orc professional who was shot, cut off the head and pickled it with lime, and handed it to the military judge Owen for commendation.

Although Richard did not kill the fifth-level lion-headed man alone, the archer Dida also played a key role. The head is still registered under Richard's name, but Owen wrote down in detail the process of killing the lion-headed man.

After the merit document comes down, I wonder how much merit will be given to Richard?

After the battle, Richard, Diara, Owen, Ron and other officers immediately counted the number of people and calculated the casualties.

"In this battle, the Sixth Squadron lost eleven people, was slightly injured twenty-three people, and was seriously injured nine people."

"How is the reorganized squadron?"

Richard said: "The reorganized squadron is responsible for the ambush mission, and the time for participating in hand-to-hand combat is relatively short. Six people were killed and fifteen people were slightly or seriously injured."

After winning a great victory, Diara said very happily: "The total casualties are more than sixty. Have the orcs' losses been counted?"

"There are more than 280 orc corpses left on the battlefield, and there should be more than 20 who fled into the forest and disappeared. In addition, half of the orc squadron did not participate in the battle, and their location is near the entrance of the canyon.

This half of the squadron is responsible for escorting Send slaves, Baron Stopa's people were almost captured by the orcs.

I suggest to attack this half of the orc squadron first and rescue the people. Then join the main force of Pratos Castle.

Otherwise, the orcs may massacre the prisoners after receiving the news of defeat. "

"Baron Harden's order asked us to rush to the Pratos fortress group this afternoon. The military order cannot be violated, but I can make a change and give you two squads of cavalry to rescue Baron Stopa's people."

"Just do it, and the reorganized squadron can be handed over to Ron for command."

Richard led more than 20 cavalrymen and approached the entrance of the canyon at a rapid speed.

Soon, they saw a huge and chaotic team. Escorting more than 6,000 human prisoners, the orc team walked very slowly.

Just when they encountered the fleeing soldiers, they received the news of the defeat of Captain Wald, and Richard had already arrived nearby with the cavalry.

Before the orc squadron captain had time to issue the order to massacre, the archers around Richard had already pulled their bows to full length.

The two squads of scouts shot down five or six orcs who were leading the way.

The news of the destruction of the main force came soon. The last half squadron of orcs in the Wald Battalion had no will to fight at all.

This half squadron of orcs were logistics transport soldiers. Their combat effectiveness was not strong. The main soldiers were still relatively smart dog-headed people.

The battle was defeated in the front, and the captain died. The fighting will of the remaining half squadron of orcs was extremely low. After suffering a little casualties, they were easily defeated and fled into the forest.

Even the captured materials were not burned in time, and all fell into Richard's hands.

The baggage escorted by the dog-headed people was very rich, not only food and ironware, but also a large amount of cloth, gold and silver coins.

There were many people and eyes, and Richard had only been in control of the cavalry squad for a short time, so he did not dare to divide the spoils of the battlefield privately.

However, the soldiers under his command secretly hid a few gold coins, and Richard chose to turn a blind eye.

This war has lasted for more than two months, and the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties.

Now that they have encountered this opportunity to make a fortune, Richard will naturally not stop them. As long as everyone has a sense of propriety, Richard is willing to help them and let the soldiers make some money.

"This is what everyone left for you."

Hayden grabbed a handful of gold coins, about twenty or so, and handed them to Richard.

Richard is the deputy squadron leader. He has been in the army for a short time and his monthly salary is two gold coins.

Twenty or so gold coins are equivalent to his annual salary.

Seeing the gold coins, Richard was naturally tempted.

However, he has a relatively small desire for money. He has been in this world for six years and has been receiving harsh training and living in a closed environment.

Father William would not let him lack money, and Richard also accumulated dozens of gold coins in his bag, enough for daily life.

"Many people are watching this money, so let everyone stop at the right amount. Each new soldier takes five gold coins, each veteran takes ten gold coins, the squad leader takes fifteen, and I take twenty.

Tell everyone not to talk nonsense, otherwise there may be trouble after the war.

Those big mouths who like to drink and can't hide things, let everyone keep a closer eye on them. Whoever dares to talk nonsense will be severely punished."

Richard gave the extra gold coins to Hayden and organized a part of the floating wealth of Baron Stopa's territory.

Then he took the rescued captives and escorted the supplies to Baron Harden's castle. After counting the supplies, transferring them to the warehouse, and registering them, Richard was relieved.

In the middle of the night, when the soldiers fell asleep, Richard quietly led out the iron-horned horse and headed straight for Fort Vick.

Now the entire Baron Stopa's territory has become a ghost den, and Fort Vick is empty.

Although the orcs have plundered the Vic Castle, there will be no floating wealth and gold in the castle.

However, the wealth in the Vic Castle is far more than the population, materials, gold and silver coins that can be seen with the naked eye.

The books, materials and secret breathing methods collected by the Baron family are more important to the Harland family.

Even the meditation methods collected by the Stopa family may be found in the castle.

Richard heard that the baron's daughter is a famous magic genius in the Grant Kingdom and has gone to the Markholm Magic Kingdom. Her magic level is already the fourth level.

Taking advantage of the chaos brought about by the orcs' invasion, Richard can get the background of the Stopa Baron family at no cost and let the Harland family develop rapidly.
