Chapter 268 Interrupted Footprints!
After knowing that Andy's chocobo is in danger.
The group of people quickly set off and quickly approached in the direction of the signal in the sky.
After a period of rapid movement, several "big ostriches" pacing leisurely came into view.
Seeing the intact chocobos in front of him, Andy felt a lot more relaxed.
The domestication of these chocobos cost a lot of money!
And after raising him for so long, he has developed a lot of feelings.
He didn't want the chocobo to get hurt!
"There are footprints here!"
When Andy was checking the condition of the chocobo, Yersen discovered footprints on the snow not far away.
Seeing this, others quickly gathered around.
"Orcs, and they should be wild boars!"
Because the orcs left in a hurry, the footprints didn't have time to be eliminated.
With this unique footprint shape, everyone could directly identify each other!
"There are seven wild boars in total. Judging from the size of their footprints, they are all at the level of formal knights."
Generally speaking, for the same type of orcs, the larger they are, the stronger they are.
Although there are exceptions, this exception usually does not occur with quilboars.
So at this time, looking at the size of the footprints, everyone could vaguely distinguish the strength of the orcs.
——If converted to the strength of human knights, the strength of this team of wild boars should be at the level of formal knights.
At this time, Andy also came over with several chocobos. After looking at the footprints on the ground, he climbed onto the chocobos without saying a word.
At the same time, he said:
"Let's go! The orcs dare to come here. They are simply asking for death!"
Seeing Andy's actions, everyone took action quickly.
There are 7 official knights on the opposite side.
They only have 2 intermediate knights, 1 senior mage apprentice, and 2 intermediate mage apprentices.
Although judging from their superficial strength, they are at a huge disadvantage.
However, in terms of actual combat power, their side still has the absolute advantage.
In this kind of battle involving life and death, superficial strength can only be used as a reference.
In addition to strength, it also depends on their respective resource reserves.
As the heirs of the mage family, Andy and Finn have many "good things" in their hands.
In addition to spell scrolls with various effects, there are also many equipment with various special effects.
As for Yersin and Catherine, in addition to their already strong strength, they also bear the knight heritage of the Holland family, one of the top knight families in the Kaya Empire.
Influenced by Brand, a master of rune formations, the two of them also carried various spell scrolls and equipment containing rune formations.
As for Brand, he was even more exaggerated.
Let’s not talk about his super fighting power.
Facing these wild boars, he only needed to take out the Great Knight Golem from the space necklace and push them across.
Although the golem's attack method is relatively rigid.
However, given the absolute gap in power and speed, this problem is not a problem.
And in addition to the great knight golem, Brand also has many high-level knight golems, all of which were recently made by the library.
After giving each library member two high-level knight golems, he had the rest.
So if Brand is willing, he can even take out these golems and carry out a righteous beating on the wild boars!
In addition, as a master of rune formations, Brand never lacks various items containing rune formations in his hands.
In this comparison, the wild boars, who are the lowest level of the orcs.
Even those who can sneak into this place are the elite among the wild boars.
But the gap is also huge visible to the naked eye!
This is also the reason why everyone is so confident.
Following the footprints, Andy, Brand and Finn all opened their eyes of insight along the way.
With the chocobo's running speed, it must be able to catch up with the fleeing orcs very quickly.
——Everyone thinks so!
However, there is often a big difference between reality and imagination.
After following the footprints all the way to the edge of a river, the footprints were interrupted.
There was no trace of the wild boar within the field of vision.
Obviously, they lost track!
"Can you track spells?"
Faced with the current situation, Yersen asked such a question.
Brand was the first to shake his head. This unpopular spell had no special effect on him.
So although this type of spell was also available in the college library, he did not study it.
Andy also shook his head quickly. Normally, studying hard to improve his strength already took up most of his time. How could he have time to learn such an uncommon spell?
Then, everyone looked at Finn.
Facing everyone's gaze, Finn spread his hands helplessly and said:
"I know two simple tracking spells, but they require a medium, but I didn't see anything left by the orcs along the way.
Now this kind of Depending on the situation, it may take more advanced tracking spells to track the whereabouts of the orcs."
Seeing this, Yersen shrugged and said:
"Then there is no good way, or should we follow the river upstream or downstream to search?
But in this case, they can also find a place to go ashore where it is not easy to leave traces, or directly find ways to eliminate traces.
In short, the possibility of finding them is very small."
Andy shook his head and said:
"Forget it then . Well, since they can cross the border and come here, there may be some way to hide their presence and traces. It would be
too difficult for just a few of us to find them.
Not long ago, people from the Imperial Judgment Department applied to the Claude family We have obtained a search permit for orcs.
Since there are really orcs here, let’s leave this matter to them and let’s not waste time here.”
Andy said so, and no one had any objection. .
After jumping off the back of the chocobo, everyone discussed for a while and decided to inform Claude and the Cecil family about this first.
As for the method of notification, it is also very simple. Brand's empty screen can remotely communicate with the two family empty screens.
Soon, Andy and Finn informed their respective families of what happened here.
Afterwards, Brand and the others originally wanted to continue hunting and get some game for their picnic.
However, Brand suddenly discovered that the state of the elements not far from them seemed a little abnormal.
At the same time, Catherine and Yersin also noticed something was wrong and glanced in that direction.
Just when they were about to do something, three young men dressed in black took the initiative to emerge from the invisibility spell.
Looking at the emblems on the black clothes of the three people, Yersin was a little surprised and said:
"Imperial Judgment Department?"
Looking at the people gathered by the river, there were five chocobos.
The three members of the Judgment Department all had friendly smiles on their faces.
They came here to perform official duties, and they still recognized the heirs of the local nobles.
And it is obvious that if they can act together with Andy Crowder, the heir to the earl family, the status of the other people must not be much lower!
A man at the head of the Judgment Department stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Hello, I am Emile Clift, and the two next to me are members of my team. We are affiliated with the Third Investigation Brigade of the Empire's Judgment Department. The Seventh Squadron is currently tracking the whereabouts of the orcs around here."
Upon hearing this man's self-introduction, Brand's eyes brightened.
——If it is a person from the Judgment Department who specializes in tracking down orcs, is there any special tracking spell?
