Abe the Wizard - Chapter 568

There were only a few knights who could kill a gyrfalcon with an arrow, and knights like these were often very well respected within the team. Killing a gyrfalcon was killed the orcs’ vision.

The Miracle Spirit would only send out an alert if a large number of enemies were coming. Other than that, it would not interfere with the fight between orcs and humans.

All the head commanders in the spot knew how hard it was to kill a gyrfalcon. When they were flying at full speed, you could not see their body in the sky.

The orc’s gyrfalcon had also been trained to dodge arrows, which made killing them even harder.

The sky was also getting dark by that point, but Abel still killed it in one strike. If that gyrfalcon did not get shot right in the head with an arrow, head commander Bodley would just tell himself that Abel was lucky.

Abel bowed back at Head Commander Bodley and gazed at the dead gyrfalcon in his hand. What he sensed earlier was not from the bird; it was from an intelligent being.

“Wizard K3516, you are the new guy who’s killed Layard, right?” Head Commander Bodley said with a laugh as he noticed Abel was gazing at the gyrfalcon.

Actually, he didn’t even need to ask. He already knew the answer. It was just very hard to believe a beginner Wizard could kill a head commander in one strike. Although there was a lot of evidence, no head commander believed it.

However, after seeing Abel taking down a gyrfalcon in one shot, he suddenly remembered that the new wizard’s number also starts with k35. He was a powerful wizard that it only made sense that he was the one who killed head commander Layard.

“Head commander Bodley, I was just defending myself. I had no choice!” Abel replied.

“The Miracle Spirit allowed you to do missions with us; this means it believes you as well!” head commander Bodley trusted the Miracle Spirit with his heart. He then held up the gyrfalcon and continued, “this gyrfalcon is not a normal gyrfalcon. Its life has been infused with an orc with a spell, so by killing this gyrfalcon, you’ve basically killed an orc.”

“K3516, Amazing archery skill !” K3305 said with his eyes sparkling. The reason he was so nice to Abel was that he was hoping Abel could give him some help in the future. The more powerful Abel was, the more worthless his effort was.

“K3516, you really really need to protect me in battle!” K3308 also shoved his face in front of Abel and said with a smile.

Abel no longer knew how to reply to those 2 wizards. Head Commander Bodley then yelled, “Keep going. Without the gyrfalcon, the orcs won’t bother us!”

Up on a little hill, crude horse barriers were thrown on the side of Miracle City. Large amounts of wood were being unloaded from a carriage from the other side. There were not many trees around this area, so all the wood for these temporary structures needed to be carried from far away.

Although there was a large number of trees on Mount Budapest, both humans and orcs would not dare to touch them. Large amounts of spiritual beasts lived in that forest, so they would definitely give you crazy revenge if you messed with them.

Therefore, wood would often take a large amount of labor to carry around–especially since there weren’t many orcs who could construct buildings, and most of their camps were destroyed by humans even though they really wanted to build one close by.

They had no choice. Just like this time, around 1000 orcs had gathered with 10 deities, 15 ruling wolf rider captains, and every other orc were wolf riders. The wolf race was the main force of the orcs. They were one of the most powerful.

At that moment, an orc with an eye patch dropped dead from his mount wolf.

“Damn, the humans had a genius Archer!” A wolf rider captain grunted.

Their vision had been shot down. Everyone one of those sky eyes was very precious.

A sky eye was what the orcs called an orc whose soul had been infused with a bird through a soul contract.

In order to cultivate a sky eye, a young orc with a strange power of will was required. These orcs were gifted in their power of will, but not gifted enough to be a supreme-ruler. Afterward, they would pluck out their eyes and force them to sign a contract with a bird.

This contract merged the life force and longevity of the two beings. Sometimes even their ability would merge, like sharing sight, for example. This process would normally take 10 years.

During these ten years, the novice sky eye would use up a large number of resources to stabilize and increase its power of will. If, by that point, they still couldn’t share sight, then they would only die. There was no way a tribe would waste so many resources on useless rubbish.

A gyrfalcon was the perfect contract bird. Their speed was immaculate, and they were very hard to kill after some training. They normally also have a long life span, normally around 100 years, which could push the orc’s potential to the max.

Today was the first day the orcs started to build their camp. They did not expect to lose the most important sky eye right from the start.

The humans and the orcs always had a strange mutual understanding. Although the orcs had sent out 1000 troops, it was actually equal to the power of those human knights in the team together.

Since elite deities and elite wizards were banned on this battlefield, the humans and orc’s power were not too different. Once their difference in power grew big, the Miracle Spirit would send out an alert. On the other hand, the orcs would try to keep this balance as well.

“100 troops stay back. Other wolf riders, get ready to fight!” A ruling wolf rider captain yelled.

Ruling level wolf rider captains were basically the same rank as human head commanders. Both of them were skilled in combat qi; the only difference was their tactics. Human head commanders paid more attention to their skills and coordination, while the wolf rider captains focused more on speed.

Wolf riders were not good at defense, but they also could not use their most skilled attacks if they didn’t have a good grasp of the human’s position.

“Quick, track down the humans!” The ruling wolf rider captain yelled.

10 wolf riders dashed out. Without a sky eye, they could only use the traditional spying method.

At that moment, the human knight formation was speeding towards their target. Unlike the wolf riders, the knights knew their target very well, and they could take the fastest route there before the wolf riders noticed and killed them. When there was still 4 miles to their target, a team of wolf riders appeared from the hill above. They turned back on their mount wolves to report to their captain.

However, Abel was already pulling on his Harry’s Bow, and another arrow flew straight towards a turning wolf rider. All it felt was a chill running down its back before dropping dead on the floor. The arrow had penetrated its soft little ear into its brain.

When they were around 2 miles from their target, more and more wolf riders had spotted the knights. Abel had killed 2 more wolf riders, somewhere beyond the range of his Harry’s Bow.

However, some wolf rider by that point already knew there was not much they could do. The square knight formation had begun to accelerate into a charging formation.

The large team of wolf riders appeared in front of them, and Abel could clearly see skeletons rising beside the 10 deities.

“K3516, be careful. Get your defense ready!” K3305 yelled from the side.

Abel quickly put on his Frozen Armour and swapped his Harry’s Bow out with a Leaf rune magic staff in a flash.

The ‘fire enchantment’ pattern began to sparkle in front of his magic staff. First, Abel had fire enchanted the 10 head commanders in front of him.
