Start as Inherited Baroness

"Lord Baron! What should we do?"

Hilde saw this scene for the first time, his face changed, and he didn't know what to do.

"Don't worry, most of the orcs' bodies have their legs or arms chopped off, and they can't make a big wave even if they become zombies."

Simon said casually, the zombies look creepy, but they don't have much combat power and are not flexible.

Unless there are a lot of them, they won't pose a threat.

"Arrange the soldiers of the patrol team to take turns to guard the night. The guards are all elite and need to keep full of energy."

Simon ordered calmly again.

"Yes! Lord Baron! I'll go now..."Hilde accepted the order respectfully.

Afterwards, Simon came to a wooden house, where a mattress had been laid on a patch of weeds, and he lay down and fell asleep directly.

There were all kinds of howling in the forest at night, and even in the distance there were sounds similar to human mumbling drifting with the wind.

"The magic energy in this forest is not low, and there are probably many ghosts and gods.

Odf dared to spend the night here with dozens of mercenaries under his command. He is really brave..."

He did not fall asleep immediately. When he closed his eyes to rest, he listened to these noises and thought to himself.

Unconsciously, Simon fell asleep.

Nothing happened all night.

On the second day, when the sky was just getting light, some soldiers woke up and sat on the ground to eat bread.

From the depths of the mysterious forest, some melodious beast roars came from time to time.

"Uh! Huh... Huh... Shit! It turned out to be a dream, a little realistic..."

Simon was sweating profusely at this time, and looked frightened.

It was obviously a nightmare.

"Something is wrong. The water in this forest is a little deep." Simon thought to himself, got up and stretched, and walked out the door.

At this time, the sky was already white, the sky was blue, and dawn was about to come.

He looked to the west for a while and calmed down.

"Baron! Are you okay?" Mailan, who was guarding outside the door, greeted with some doubt.

"Nothing, just a strange dream.

How was it? Nothing happened last night, right?" Simon smiled and asked.

"My lord, everything is fine." Mailan replied immediately.

"Yeah." Simon nodded and fell into deep thought again.

Seeing this, Mailan did not dare to disturb him.

After a while, he came to his senses and said, "Let the soldiers eat quickly, there may be a battle later.

Following the footsteps of the orcs' fleeing soldiers yesterday, we may find something."

"Yes! My lord!" Mailan responded and immediately went to convey the news.

Simon took a bowl of hot water handed over by the guards, drank it after checking it out.

Then he took out the honey white bread and ate it, adding some cheese from time to time. He didn't have too high a demand for the taste now, just don't be too bad.

When it was bright, the mercenaries and soldiers had all finished breakfast and were ready.

The seriously injured mercenaries paid for their own treatment and begged Simon to treat them. Now they have basically recovered and can fight.

"Abandon this simple camp and continue to track the orcs." Simon ordered.

"Yes!" Everyone took the order and walked out of the camp.

The tracking master was still there. His name was Villette. He was the leader of a mercenary group. He was born in the forest valley and had some real skills.

It was time for him to be useful again. He was even more useful than a hound.

Under his leadership, everyone rushed for several hours and climbed over a hill.

When they arrived in front of a valley, he suddenly signaled the people behind him to be silent!

Immediately, the mercenaries conveyed the message one by one, and soon everyone squatted on the spot and stopped making any noise.

Villet quietly rushed to Simon's side and whispered: "Baron, I am sure that there is another orc nest in the valley ahead.

It must be stronger than the previous one.

I found their sentinel, which is more than a hundred meters away from here, and I didn't alarm it."

"Very good, I will remember your merit!

Call all the mercenary leaders to discuss the matter." Simon whispered.

"Yes! Sir!" Villet immediately went to notify them lightly.

After a while, ten mercenary leaders all gathered towards Simon, one of whom was a deputy who was promoted to a regular, and his strength was a little weaker.

"I decided to attack the orcs in the valley ahead. You will divide the work and try to kill the sentinels quietly.

Then catch them off guard. If that doesn't work, you can only attack by force.

After this battle, we will withdraw from the forest to rest." Simon ordered.

"Yes! Baron!"

The mercenary leaders agreed, and then discussed in a low voice for a while, deciding the direction they were responsible for.

Finally, the battle plan was reported to Simon. After listening to it, he felt that it was okay and could not find any faults, so he nodded and said, "Attack!"

"Yes!" The mercenary leaders responded solemnly and went to mobilize their mercenaries.

"Let our people line up at the entrance of the valley later, don't attack rashly!"

Simon saw them walking away and whispered to Hilde and Mailan beside him.

"Understood!" The two responded one after another.

Hilde immediately led the patrol army.

After a while, a dog-headed man on guard in the distance suddenly blew the horn on his neck loudly, and then a short arrow shot into his throat.

The dog-headed man immediately fell from the tree canopy with convulsions all over his body.

The mercenaries failed to sneak, and they roared and launched a strong attack.

More than five hundred people rushed towards the entrance of the valley, and the remaining ones were archers, rushing to both sides to occupy high ground or climb trees for long-range support.

"Let's push forward too!" Simon ordered when he saw this.

"Yes!" Hilde responded and immediately directed the soldiers to move forward.

Many orcs have died before, and there shouldn't be too many in the valley, only a thousand or so at most.

Judging from the combat prowess the mercenaries have shown before, they can definitely withstand it.

I guess they don't want the baron to send troops to help, because it will be difficult to cut off the animal ears.

It might not be a good idea to fight against the baron's personal soldiers.

After a while, Simon also led his troops to the entrance of the valley, which was already a mess.

The orcs set up a simple camp, but it was too simple. The mercenaries were not afraid at all and quickly knocked open the camp door.

Both sides fought fiercely at the gate.

Most of the orcs don't wear armor, so they suffer a lot.

Moreover, the bows and arrows wielded by the goatmen on the wall are too weak, and the stone arrows often cannot penetrate the iron-lined armor of the mercenaries.

It's just a bit of harassment and intimidation.

Unless it hits the face, or the cracks on the arms or legs, it's just a little more powerful than tickling.

"Kill! Kill the cruel humans!"

Just when the orcs' stronghold gate was almost unable to withstand it, several strong orcs and tauren rushed out from inside.

They were either holding axes or hammers, and they knocked away several mercenaries in a few clicks, and even some short kobolds were unlucky.

Kobolds are really pitiful. They are like consumables. If they were not fertile, with a minimum of three or five children, they would have been extinct long ago.

"Kill! Don't be afraid! Each strong orc is worth two golden eagles!

Throw a spear! Kill the tauren first! "

The mercenary captains who were slightly outside saw this, and among them was a commander wearing a horn helmet.

Soon, a dozen mercenaries around him took off their short spears from their backs, took aim and threw them.

The accuracy was good. After the short spear flew more than 20 meters, more than half of it was stuck on the two tauren.

Their wounds were bleeding profusely, and they fell down and died soon.
