Chapter 588 Kobold Patroller
“We need to go to the Budapest Mountain Range on the west side of the Miracle City. On the south side of the ridge was where the humans stayed. There won’t be that many orcs there, but it does not mean that they’re not active in that area.” K3305 explained to Abel.Abel had some knowledge about the Miracle City. The city had split the Budapest Mountain Range into two, later becoming the East and West Budapest Mountain Range.
The East Budapest Mountains Range was connected to the Earth-Dividing Mountain Range. It had a very rough ground condition; there were almost no roads to ride and walk across. Therefore, there were hardly any signs of a soul beast and humans there.
Thus, entering the mountains without a mount would take a lot of time. In addition, with the rough condition of the roads, it would be very difficult for a wizard who had bad stamina to go deeper into the mountain. Also, It would be hard for a Head commander knight to kill a soul best if they encountered one.
Therefore, the West Budapest Mountains Range was the best choice for hunting soul beasts. There were a large number of soul beasts in the West mountain range. Miracle City also distributed the strength of the soul beasts different levels. The closer they were to the Miracle City, the weaker their strength.
Basically, the powerful soul beasts wouldn’t go near to the terrifying war fortress. These conditions made the area nearby the Miracle City to be the best hunting ground.
“Even if we encountered orcs here, killing them wouldn’t give us any rewards!” Abel was far more energized in the battle than before. This was because he found out that the 200 battle credits were far from enough for him to spend.
He was deeply attracted by the skeleton gem and the s.p.a.ce object that was made by bone.
“The Miracle City spirit does not monitor this place. Therefore, there’s no battle credit for killing any orcs here. It’s best not to encounter one! ” K3305 said while shaking the staff in his hand.
“Why?” Abel asked.
“Well, an orc who can cross the Mountain Budapest was either extremely lucky or crazily powerful. So, It’s best not to encounter either one!” K3308 conversed.
Out of nowhere, Harry’s bow suddenly appeared in Abel’s hand. Then, he shot an arrow towards the tree in front of them.
Abel’s action startled Head Commander Markham. He immediately removed the s.h.i.+eld from the warhorse and protected K3308.
Head Commander Brodley also took out his sword and magic s.h.i.+eld and prepared to fight.
“Bang!” The sound of a figure fell from the tree a hundred miles away.
“What the h.e.l.l happened?” K3305 asked in shock.
“It’s an orc scout, just by himself!” Abel answered confidently.
Even though Abel said there was only one scout. Head Commander Brodley carefully ordered to the two elite knights, “Just in case, go and have a look! ”
The two elite knights, Basil and Joel, were the best scouts in the army. They were ashamed when Abel, who was a wizard, had discovered an orc scout before them.
“Yes, my Lord!” Joel and Basil said with a bow. Then, they took out their bow and arrow and drove their horse to the front.
Soon, Joel made a safe gesture. Head commander Brodley saw it and said, “Everything clear, let’s go and have a look! ”
“Lord Brodley, It was a Kobold !” Joel reported.
Head commander Brodley took a look at the kobold who was lying on the ground with an arrow through its head. Then he said to the crowd, “Kobold scouts don’t work alone. His team must be nearby, prepare yourself for the encounter! ”
Abel was very curious and walked up to the kobold. It was said that the kobold was the best scout among the orcs. They were able to track their enemies’ direction and movement by scent without having to get too close to them.
Unfortunately, It was Abel who the kobold encountered. Even hundreds of meters away were not safe from Abel’s attack. In such a deserted place, just a slight sight from the enemy would expose their location to Abel.
With the long attack range and high accuracy of the Harry’s Bow, it was almost impossible to escape from Abel as long as it locks on to the target.
“What a pity. It could have been a lot of battle credit !” Abel murmured.
“Come on, K3516. With your bow skills, you were like a killing machine on the battlefield!” K3308 was unsatisfied with Abel’s whispering. However, he knew how much orcs Abel had killed on the battlefield with his bow.
K3308 stared at the weird crafted shape of Harry’s bow on Abel’s hand. The arrows that were shot were too fast to be seen. This bow must be the main reason why Abel was so powerful.
Abel quickly kept Harry’s bow away since it was a weapon that he rarely wanted to be known by the outsiders. It was because the weapon had many different technologies from this world. Honestly speaking, In a condition where no spells and magic weapons could be used. Harry’s bow would be the strongest weapon in the world.
“Joel, Basil. Investigate the area, and be careful. Come back immediately once you see the enemies. Never get too close to the orcs!” Head commander said with a deep voice.
“Yes, my Lord!” The two elite knights bowed in response and drove their horses towards the sides.
“We should prepare ourselves here. Orcs that could cross the Budapest Mountain Range must be tough. Never underestimate them!” Head Commander Brodley said to his remaining companions.
“As you command, Head Commander Brodley!” K3306 responded.
“That’s it. Considering our combat power, we ain’t even afraid of an army with hundreds of orcs!” K3308 took out a stack of rune cards carelessly, seemingly ready to fight.
Ten minutes later, Abel’s spirit sensed a trace of emergency. He used his ability as a spirit whisperer and communicated with the trees around him. Then he received an image from a tree at a distance. A group of orcs was chasing after Basil. The orcs were quite fast, and soon, they would catch up to Basil.
Abel stopped his ability and said to Head Commander Brodley, “In this direction, Basil is being chased down by the orcs. We should go and help him!”
Head commander Brodley would have doubted Abel if he was anyone else. He was convinced since it came from the mysterious K3516. And, there was no reason for Abel to deceive him.
“The knights come in front, and the wizards stay at the back!” Head commander Brodley said loudly.
Everyone in the team followed Head commander Brodley order. Everyone had agreed.
Two Head Commanders were at the front, and the three wizards were behind them. They quickly rushed towards the direction Abel pointed out.
After riding for about a thousand meters, Basil was seen with an arrow in his body. He was lying on the back of his horse and was going to fall off at any moment.
Not far behind him, a small group of wolf riders approaching. The gap between a horse and the wolf was shown at that moment.
The wolf riders were getting closer and closer as the chase continued. The difference between a horse and a wolf was, the wolf could dodge any obstacles on their way while maintaining its speed. However, a horse would need to slow down slightly to dodge the obstacles and accelerate again.
If it wasn’t for Abel, who sensed the emergency, Basil might have already been dead.
