Chapter 561 p.e.c.k.e.r Orcs
“K3305, what should I do?” Abel turned and asked gently.“Don’t rush; the Miracle Spirit just alerted us because it noticed the orcs are doing something. We’re just back up. It will only be our turn once the guardian wizards use up their magic powers!” Said k3305 in a slightly carefree voice.
“No way; how did a newbie get sent there?” a Wizard holding a gla.s.s of juice said.
Although that wizard spoked very lightly, around 20 wizards turned to Abel, gazes filled with curiosity.
In only a few minutes, around 20 beginner wizards gathered around Abel–even more flashed from the teleportation circle.
“This is k3516; he lives in no.A09. The Miracle Spirit should be right!” K3305 introduced Abel to everyone.
“The Miracle Spirit let a newbie live in A09? I’ve signed up so many times, but it never gave it to me!” a cloaked wizard sighed in dissatisfaction.
“You haven’t stayed here for long anyway. I’ve been here for 10 years, and I still haven’t gotten a house in the A area!” Another Wizard called.
“K3516, don’t worry about them, there are 10 houses in the A Area. No.A09 had always been accepting sign ups, but no wizards had pa.s.sed the examination, so they are just complaining!” K3305 explained. He then turned to that black cloaked wizard and said “k3412, if you are not happy, find the Miracle Spirit, don’t blame people.
“But he is a newbie, how can he live there?” a black cloaked wizard k3412 didn’t want to surrender so easily.
“A newbie? I heard only one newbie pa.s.sed the exam today. The other newbies are still in the training camp waiting for their next examiner!” Said an older Wizard smiling at k3412.
All of those wizards on the spot were back up; the real battle hadn’t even started, so of course, there was no need for backup. Upon hearing something interesting, another wizard quickly asked, “K3003, what did you say?”
“The newbie K3412 was talking about used a light long sword and killed a head commander without combat qi. Of course, the Miracle Spirit would treat a wizard like this differently!” K3003 continued to smile as he saw more and more wizards gathering.
Abel didn’t expect the news to spread so quickly. It had only been a moment ago, but now, every wizard knew. Curiosity was universal.
“K3516, you are too good. Let’s go on a mission together someday!” K3305 said with shock.
“Yeah yeah, I am k3312; Let’s do a mission if you have time as well!” Another wizard followed.
“That’s right, let’s get to know each other a bit!”
All of a sudden, the 20 wizards all began to smile and introduce themselves to Abel. The relations.h.i.+p with a powerful wizard was important no matter where they were. Even in a mission, a powerful wizard could be a good helper.
As the wizards were chatting, a wave of grunts and shouts emerged from outside the Miracle Wall. All of a sudden, the Wizards quieted down and focused on the battlefield.
“K3305, is that all the wizards we have?” Abel finally got the breath to ask.
“This mission was basically throwing out free war credit; the Miracle Spirit will only ask a few wizards!” Said K3305 gently with a smile.
“What do you mean?” Abel was confused.
“We are back up, so normally, we don’t even need to do anything. Normally we will have a mission like this once every 2-3 months, so you are lucky!” K3305 replied gently.
“Why does it only contact us?” Abel asked again.
“Because we are the most powerful wizards in the battle of the orcs mission. We are also the first batch of fighting wizards, so we will have 2 points of war glory even if we don’t do anything. If you join the actual fight, you will be given a corresponding amount of war glory to how you did!” K3305 explained.
The surveillance of Miracle City was normally 100 miles. Some time had pa.s.sed since the alert, and Abel had finally seen the orcs.
There were a lot of them. Although they were far, Abel could see that they were all Raider Orcs. Every one of them had a boar as mount, and they sounded noisy.
Those p.e.c.k.e.r orcs were scattered around like ocean waves. They didn’t even have any clothes on them. They only had a skirt made of leaves to cover their lower halves.
Since there were way too many of them, Abel could not see the end of their ground, even with his sight.
“How come there are so many p.e.c.k.e.r orcs? Although Abel didn’t know how many of them there were, he knew there were at least a hundred thousand of them, and there were still more coming.
“They are too good at breeding; normally, a single p.e.c.k.e.r orc can give birth to ten little p.e.c.k.e.r orcs. Their pregnancy period normally only lasts for a few months, and they almost didn’t need to rest since they are so strong.
“If they are so strong and so good at breeding, how come they are the lowest rank in the Orc Empire?” Abel asked in confusion.
Abel had only heard about the Orc Empire before, so he actually knew very little about it. Miracle City has been fighting orcs for years, so they had to know more.
“Because most of them are stupid. The data shows that only 1/10,000 of them have normal IQ, and every 1/100,000 can become knights. Because of this, p.e.c.k.e.r are just soldiers for the Orc Empire to sacrifice!” K3305 explained to Abel quietly.
At that moment, the p.e.c.k.e.r Orcs stopped around 1000 meters outside of Miracle City. It was furthest range Miracle City could attack at. The low IQ orcs were controlled by some kind of sophisticated system.
Behind the p.e.c.k.e.r Orcs were 10 giant trucks. There were some black cloaked deities commanding a few armored p.e.c.k.e.r Knights to take some objects off the truck.
When he saw those orcs desperately trying to unload, Abel couldn’t help but ask, “Are we just going to let them unload? Why don’t we attack?”
“Attack?” K3305 said, pointing at the endless amount of p.e.c.k.e.r Orcs; he then continued, “If we send the knights to go out first, there’s no way they can kill this many orcs without taking a big hit. Those p.e.c.k.e.r orcs know how to fight from birth, unlike humans who need to train.”
Abel knew why the Orc Empire was so scary. All they needed to do was to give birth, and there was no training needed. Orcs were born stronger than humans, and they were born to fight.
Although humans were already relatively good at breeding compared to the other races, they were still nothing compared to the orcs.
Abel believed if it was the dwarfs or the elves who were defending against the orcs, both of the elves and the dwarfs would be gone long ago.
As time went on, the orc deities’ a.s.sembly had completed. Abel noticed it was a giant crossbow. It looked very strong, almost like the one made by dwarfs.
“The orcs had been doing research on crossbows for so long, and they had been testing these giant crossbows for long distance attacks on battlefields. I was not expecting so many to come today!” K3305 sighed.
“Yeah, it’s very hard for the orcs to make crossbows since they have so little resources. They can only make it in small batches. I don’t know why they decided to bring 10 here!”k3412 followed. He wanted to repair his relations.h.i.+p with Abel, so he joined the conversation.
“Do you still have to ask? Grandmaster Abel had killed 2 elite wizards with crossbows. Everyone in the Holy Continent knows this, so of course, the orcs will speed up their research no matter how poor they are!” K3003 replied. He was the one with the most knowledge.
Abel couldn’t help but bitterly laugh when he heard his good work being discussed. Crossbows were so big and clunky. How would they do anything to elite wizards? Did the people spreading these rumors deliberately try to mess with people?
