Full-Time Psychic Martial Artist

To make crossing the snow-capped mountains safer and smoother, Lorne exchanged the alternative spell he had retained from the last upgrade for the "Bridge Ladder" spell.

The 8-point increase in physique made Lorne immediately feel the huge changes in his body. Although his strength was not as good as the Zaku, the perfect coordination of high agility and high strength was greater than the sum of its parts.

The 4-point increase in action points is almost 50% better than before, resulting in a significant boost to both movement speed and action speed.

Now he can jump more than 3 meters high with ease, run 100 meters in 14.29 seconds, and sprint 100 meters in just 4.84 seconds.

Just as Lorne was excitedly experiencing the increase in his strength, a contract for a servant suddenly broke, followed by a second and a third.

Clearly, the charioteers sent to cover the rear engaged the pursuing orcs in battle.

"Hurry up, everyone! The orcs are catching up!" Lorne immediately gave the order to the group.

All the Pokémon perked up and quickened their pace, instantly increasing the team's speed.

Lorne then jogged to the front of the group and asked Monteridge, who was leading the way, "How much longer until we reach the snow mountain?"

Monteridge quickly estimated in his mind and said, "At this speed, we can reach them by dawn at the earliest. How did you know the orcs were catching up?"

"My contracts with my servants have all been broken; they should all be dead," Lorne said truthfully.

Monteridge nodded slightly in understanding: "I'll send Hu Hu to scout the rear."

"That's for the best, thanks to you all." Lorne smiled sincerely.

Monteridge smiled appreciatively: "Kid, you're too modest. I'm just assisting; you're the key to this rescue operation."

……

In the afternoon, the elves, who had traveled all night and for most of the day, finally arrived at the foot of the snow mountain.

The northern forest consists of two mountain ranges. The northern mountain range is the highest and acts like a giant wall separating the forest from the snowfield. It is covered with snow all year round and is almost impossible to cross.

The central mountain range is only half the height of the northern mountain range, but it is still a natural barrier, accessible only through the gap where the North Forest Fortress is located.

Lorne and his party of elves were about to cross the eastern section of this central mountain range.

The eastern section is lower in altitude and narrower than the western section. As long as you can find a snow spirit as a guide, it is not difficult to cross.

Snow elf villages are generally located near the snow line. Although they are also members of the elf community, they mostly live a secluded life, rarely venturing down the mountain to socialize with other elves.

Lorne's plan was to first take the elves to the snow elf village, find the guide, and make full preparations before starting to cross the snow mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Lorne took out the supplies that Seina had prepared and distributed them to the elves one by one.

Seina's logistical work was superb; each magic bag was just the right amount of supplies for an elf to cross the snowy mountains.

Lorne only needs to give each elf a magic bag and let them change into warm clothes that fit their size according to their confidence.

As the elves put on their gear, they flew back from behind, hovering above Monteridge's head and calling out incessantly.

Monteridge immediately found Lorne and said with a serious expression, "The orcs are catching up."

Lorne raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking: With him chasing so closely, Gorgon must be furious.

"Ordinary orcs couldn't possibly have this speed, there probably aren't many coming," Lorne said.

Monteridge nodded: "A three-headed wolf and twelve orcs, all elite. They'll be there in about 10 minutes."

Lorne's eyes darted around, and he said, "You stay here and guard the main force. Nelly and I will go and deal with the orcs."

"Is it just the two of you? Do you need my remote support?" Monteridge asked with concern.

Lorne smiled and waved his hand: "No need, you stay here and wait until everyone is ready before leading the team up the mountain, lest something goes wrong if we delay."

Monteridge nodded in understanding, stood at attention, and saluted Lorne: "May the goddess bless the elves!"

"May the goddess bless the elves!" Lorne immediately stood at attention in return, then shouted to the sky, "Hoo-hoo, lead the way!"

"Whoosh!" With a whoosh, it flipped in mid-air and flew back the way it came.

Lorne took off to catch up.

Elite, huh?

I'm going to take down the elite!

……

After running through the forest for about seven minutes, Huhu, who was in charge of scouting, sent a message via the telepathic network: "The orcs are ahead."

Lorne immediately stopped running, found a towering ancient tree nearby, climbed up it, and waited for the enemy to approach.

Soon, the three-headed wolves came into Lorne's view.

These giant wolves, each over a meter tall at the shoulder, would lower their heads to sniff the air every few meters, while simultaneously turning their ears to be alert for any potential danger.

If a dire wolf goes astray and loses its scent, it will return to the other dire wolves and reorient itself by sniffing.

The three-headed wolves worked together so well that their pursuit never stopped.

The orcs following not far behind the dire wolf were the ones who had been closely chasing the elf.
