    After all, the members of the Sons of Flame were experienced warriors who had experienced the baptism of battle. Although they were caught off guard by the brutal orcs who suddenly appeared near the camp, they quickly restored the most basic order under Captain Chama's roar.  A dozen mercenaries who were good at using bows and arrows immediately took off their longbows from their shoulders, and some returned to the tent to get spare arrows.  Tomad rushed to the back of a desert boat in a few steps and looked out through the cover of the car body.  There were tall and burly figures of barbarian orcs on the sand dunes in all directions. Some of them were holding large animal bone bows and aiming at the camp; more barbarian orcs were waving simple and crude weapons while making wild and harsh shouts.  The language of the barbarian orcs is just some simple musical scales, which cannot express much meaning. However, some of the smartest barbarian orcs will learn the common language of the mainland. This is no secret to people who are familiar with the desert.  While Tomad was still frowning to identify the words in Common Language with a heavy accent, Captain Chama held two longbows, bent down and ran over under the cover of the wooden fence and the car body, and then released two bags of arrows together.  In front of Tomad.  "These guys are not the ones we met in the third oasis. The flags are different, but the Brutal Beast King flag also appears." Captain Chama explained as fast as he could, "They have been shouting a  The word - Gordon, seems to be a name, or some newly coined title. The word behind it - Xiha, means great and powerful, and is usually used to praise the leader of the barbarian tribe. " "I remember barbarian.  The Beast King flag has not appeared for at least hundreds of years." Tomad frowned and looked at the jagged bone sword flag flying arrogantly in the air, "Since the bloodline of the last barbarian orc co-master - Kalmos.  After disappearing at the end of the War of the Wall, the barbarian tribes often had bloody conflicts with each other, and no leader was elected to hold the barbarian king's banner. " "I'm sorry that I can't explain this. I'm just a hired man with some desert experience.  Bing is not a master scholar who studies history." Captain Chama smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "Captain Tomad, if you want to find books that record long history, I'm afraid you can only go to the libraries of some larger cities.  "It seems that there is no such thing in Tatarchuk." "I will go look for it." Tomad looked out from under the cover of the car body again, but quickly retracted his body, and the three sharp arrows almost appeared.  It flew towards his scalp and was nailed deeply between the oak boards of the car body, making a muffled sound, and the tail was still shaking.  "But first we have to get rid of these barbaric guys." Due to the need for open desert terrain, there are many mercenaries who are good at using bows and arrows among the mercenaries who are responsible for the escort mission this time.  After the initial shock and panic subsided, they relied on the cover of the desert boat's body and wooden fence to shoot continuously at the slowly approaching barbarian orc troops.  Deaths and injuries also began to appear on the barbarian orcs without discrimination. The barbarian orc archers immediately stopped and raised their animal bone long bows to fight back.  The shooting ranges of the two longbows were almost the same, but since the merchant group had good cover, most of the black arrows fired had no choice but to be inserted into the car body or blocked by the fence.  "Compared with the swordsmanship that even Grand Knight Captain Shouba was amazed at, Tomad's archery skills can only be said to be unsatisfactory.  He raised his longbow and shot seven or eight arrows in a row, but only hit the thighs of two barbarian orcs; during this time, Captain Chama beside him had already knocked down five or six of the fastest guys.  Two of the Barbarian Orc Roaring Warriors were accurately shot in the throat and died on the spot.  "Captain Tomad, we don't have many arrows prepared. Let me use the rest." Captain Chama saw Tomad put the next arrow on the bow string and couldn't help but persuade him.  "If you can use your bow and arrow as well as a long sword, you can guard the front of the camp by yourself." Tomad put down the long bow in frustration, and then moved his fingers that were a little stiff from continuous shooting.  , "No way, I can't learn this well." He complained while checking his equipment, then tried to pull out the sword and adjusted the scabbard to the position where it was easiest to release.  "I can't stop those barbarian orcs with just bows and arrows. I'd better join the team defending Mucha." Behind Mucha, half of the Sons of Flame mercenaries and almost all the merchant group guards were gathered, as well as the strong servants.  Simply armed with wooden clubs and leather armor, they are ready to fill the defense line breached by the barbarian orcs at any time.  Everyone's face turned pale due to nervousness and fear. Even though Team Leader Thompson was hoarse to boost morale and promised extremely generous rewards, they didn't feel much relief.  No matter how rigorous the training is, human warriors who have not mastered the power of fighting spirit cannot compete with the roaring warriors of the beastmen. The gap between the two sides is almost equivalent to the difference between an underage child and a burly man.  Facing a ferocious humanoid monster that is two to three meters tall and roars like thunder, even experienced?The veteran soldiers felt their scalps go numb, not to mention the servants of the merchant corps who had never participated in a fiercer battle than a tavern brawl.  The barbarian orcs will easily tear apart the fragile defenses of the merchant camp and then start a bloody massacre.  Without Tomad, this scene would have had an inevitable tragic ending.  Just when the barbarian beastmen who rushed forward were almost approaching the wooden fence of the camp, a black fireball flew over and exploded in the most crowded crowd.  The thick skin of the barbarian orcs has a very strong defense against many elemental magics, but this black fireball is obviously different, even if it splashes a spark, it will not be easily extinguished.  The black flames caused the barbarian orcs to scream wildly and run around like headless flies, while spreading chaos to the troops behind them.  The black exploding fireball not only blocked the charge of the barbarian orcs, but also boosted the morale of everyone who planned to defend the camp to the death. Cheers came one after another. Many people took this opportunity to release the fear in their hearts and hug each other fiercely.  "It's magic, magical magic!" "Look, how young that person is. The magic power he casts is more than that of many old magicians." "The barbarian orcs are retreating. They don't dare to approach the camp.  We have hope! " Unlike the soldiers who were inspired by this small victory, Captain Chama's face was ashen when he walked out of the back of the carriage. He was exhausted from shooting dozens of arrows in succession, and blood stains came from the gap in the broken glove of his right hand.  It slowly comes out.  "Go back to your posts!" He roared at the cheering crowd, "The orc marauders are not easy opponents to dispatch. The real hard battle has not yet begun!" After the crowd dispersed with mutterings,  Captain Chama came to Tomad's side and looked at him deeply with thoughtful eyes.  "Now I finally know the reason why Captain Lena made that decision. Captain Tomad, I never thought that in addition to having excellent swordsmanship that even the Grand Knight Commander would praise, you are also a powerful magician."  "Magician?" Tomad smiled bitterly and spread his hands. "I am not a magician. I just can cast several kinds of magic for some reason." "The acceleration magic that can make the wild camel run faster than the war horse is also the same.  ?" Captain Chama sighed, "I should have thought of it, there is also a kind of magic that can control animals. This is why the beast you are riding is very obedient." Tomad nodded and admitted.  "How many more times can you cast that black fireball just now?" Captain Chama's eyes showed a hint of hope, "The power of that magic is indeed powerful. The physique of the barbarian orcs is naturally resistant to magic. I have seen great magicians.  The exploding fireball technique was used, and the orcs who were blown up only suffered minor burns." "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you," Tomad pondered, "I have used magic four times today, including.  Two accelerations, one animal control and one black fire ball. All the remaining mental power is used on the black fire ball. It can only be used three times at most. " "Three times" Captain Chama's eyes dimmed again. "  Those guys were just probing just now, but we were overwhelmed. Next, they will definitely launch a more violent offensive" "This camp cannot be defended," Tomad made a straightforward judgment, "I'm afraid there are too many arrows in stock.  It¡¯s less than half, right? And even if there are still enough arrows, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to find that many people who can shoot arrows.¡± He lowered his gaze and glanced at Captain Chama¡¯s injured right hand.  Captain Chama subconsciously moved his right hand, and then smiled bitterly, "Yes, this hand will no longer be able to shoot arrows in a short period of time. The situation of other archers is similar." "So we can only take the initiative and use force.  Protrude and surround this road, and the sooner the better," Tomad said in a strong tone, "Captain Chama, if we wait until the barbarian troops from the third oasis come to join us, we really have no chance.  " Captain Chama showed a struggling expression on his face.  Intellectually, he understood that Tomad's proposal was correct.  The barbarian orcs surrounding the convoy camp looked like they were all over the mountains and plains, but in fact there were no more than three hundred at most. If they rushed out at the expense of others, they were still sure to carve a bloody path.  However, from the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, he was reluctant to make a forced breakout decision. After all, the convoy camp could be defended, but without the protection of wooden fences and solid car bodies, they would directly face hundreds of addicts.  The blood-warlike orcs are roaring warriors.  For the Tianping Merchant Group, where non-combatants accounted for two-thirds, this was an absolute disaster.  "I'm afraid Team Leader Thompson won't agree." Captain Chama lowered his voice helplessly, "Drop all the goods and vehicles.??The roaring orcs cut a bloody path among the warriors, which was probably more terrifying to him than death.  " "There is no time to convince him.  Tomad replied solemnly, "And I suspect that someone in the business group gave the news to the orcs. Otherwise, the Second Oasis has been completely destroyed by the sandstorm. Why did so many orcs come?"  " Captain Chama's expression froze, and then he nodded fiercely, "I understand.  Those who don't want to leave can just stay in the camp and wait to die.  I will immediately announce my decision to break out to the others.  "
