first wizarding world war.

Chapter 244: The Orcs' Staple Food

Charlotte held out until the third day, but then had to lead the small team to retreat because he had little supplies left.

Before leaving, Charlotte looked back at Strasbourg, where the wind was still howling, the thunder and lightning were flashing, and the rain was pouring. She couldn't help but complain: "These orc saints are really durable!"

Sophia Galanold didn't understand this old joke from another world, and replied seriously: "The Saint Rank can continue fighting for several days."

Charlotte smiled back and directed the small group toward Machupi.

This small force of several hundred people marched for most of the day in the midst of violent storms, rainstorms, thunder and lightning, and was only more than 20 kilometers away from Strasbourg.

Fortunately, the farther away from Strasbourg, the smaller the impact of the Orc Holy Shaman's wind magic. Twenty kilometers away, although the wind was still howling, the gray sky could be faintly seen, the rainstorm weakened to heavy rain, and thunder was almost invisible, only occasionally flashing in the sky.

Charlotte let out a long sigh and said to Sophia Galannod, "We have a base where we can rest temporarily."

"We can't interfere in the battle of the Saint Order. Let's wait until Strasbourg decides the winner, and then we can consider how to fight."

Sophia Galanold had completely trusted Charlotte at this time, not only because Charlotte saved her, but also because Charlotte had always shown qualities such as bravery, determination, reliability, etc., which were not seen in her peers at all.

Sometimes she felt a little jealous of the Zephyr goddess at Gorgias University.

Charlotte did not stop and continued to march towards Machupi with the orc army. Not long after they went, they saw an orc tribe camp. Outside the camp, thousands of human heads were densely hung, some were shriveled, some were fresh, some were old, some were men, some were women, and some were children...

Charlotte had already guessed some things, but he didn't dare to imagine them.

He only has a few hundred people, and since there are orcs everywhere near Strasbourg, it is difficult to get supplies. How can an orc army of hundreds of thousands get supplies?
Ever since Charlotte rescued Sophia Galanold and the others, she knew what the orcs' "staple food" was.

Humanity!

When Charlotte saw the orc camp, she didn't say a word, but pointed and said, "Attack!"

Sophia Galanold was originally trying to hint to her classmates not to be so passionate, as they were surrounded by the orc army and were in danger everywhere, and there was no way to save these innocent compatriots.

In fact, she couldn't hold herself back and wanted to rush forward to fight.

After hearing what Charlotte said, Sophia Galanold could no longer hold back. She shouted loudly, holding a lion pill, and was the first to rush into the orc camp. The knight's spear swept across, and seven or eight orcs were stabbed to the ground in succession.

Following closely were more than a dozen students from the University of Sheffield, who almost became the "staple food" of the orcs. Every time someone in the empire proposed to sweep the orc tribes, there were people who stopped it with a compassionate attitude, believing that orcs should not be killed.

Although, almost everyone in the entire empire knows that only a very small number of orcs have accepted human civilization and customs, the vast majority still retain the habit of eating their own kind and other races.

The climate in the south of the Old World is complex, the orcs' agriculture has never been well developed, and there has never been enough food...

Charlotte once thought that the assassins of the Orc Assassin League spoke and behaved just like humans. Apart from some orc characteristics, they did not seem rude at all. Frederica could even study at Gorgias University.

It was not until he met the red-backed bear warriors that this group of bear men gave him the feeling that the orcs in novels were indeed like these: rude, gluttonous, alcoholic, unguarded, and snoring very loudly.

But this group of bearmen is already considered a relatively civilized race among the orcs. In fact, most orc tribes are far worse than Charlotte imagined.

The assault was over quickly. Charlotte didn't even get to fight.

After all, there are more than ten extraordinary people in his team.

Charlotte, Sophia Galannod, the Hundred Bears Chief, Big Bear Tyrant and Xiong Mi are even mid-level transcendents.

The remaining four bear men and three students from the University of Sheffield are also very powerful.

It's not something that can be resisted by just an ordinary orc barracks.

Charlotte glanced at the wounded and surrendered orc soldiers on the ground and whispered, "Take them and continue retreating."

Sophia Galanold couldn't help but ask, "Where are these people?"

Charlotte shouted, "We are the Knights of the Fars Empire. If you are willing to follow us, please follow us immediately. If you are not willing, please leave freely."

"The orc army will appear soon. You must escape as soon as possible, otherwise their revenge will be very cruel."

According to habit, Charlotte would recruit all humans, but he didn't have time at the moment.

At Charlotte's command, they set out immediately without any delay, even abandoning most of the spoils and only taking some of the weapons.

About two hundred human captives followed the team. Some were unwilling to follow and wanted to leave on their own. Some even hesitated and wanted to negotiate some conditions with Charlotte, such as giving some money for travel expenses. Some were angry and wanted to take revenge after being released. Some looted the orcs' camp. Some even just wanted to rest for a while, completely unaware of how dangerous it was here...

Sophia Galannod couldn't bear it and said, "We can bring more people."

Charlotte sighed and said to Sophia Galanold, "We can't make the choice for them."

"Besides, if we stayed behind to persuade a few people, we would not be able to save them, but would be ruining all of us."

Sophia Galanold wanted to persuade them, but Charlotte was very determined. Although the battle was short, it would still attract nearby orc troops, and they had to leave immediately.

Not long after Charlotte's army left, a group of orcs broke into the military camp. At this time, there were still five or six hundred people staying in the camp.

Waiting for their...

Charlotte forced herself not to think about those who were unwilling to leave.

At this moment, he completely abandoned his emotions and used his brain entirely with reason.

Humans will choose to risk their lives for tiny gains and worthless reasons.

After all, he had lived in an era of information explosion and had seen countless vivid examples.

Charlotte led the army and marched more than ten kilometers. At this distance, there was only a breeze and the sky was clear without raindrops. He found a place to rest. After about an hour, dust rose from the back and the roar of orcs was heard.
