Traces of the battle were found, and there was also proof from Lorne.
Then we can be sure that the place in front of us is the place where Lorne killed the Wolf Cavalry, but the strange thing is why not a single body can be found.
Owen guessed: "It seems that after you left, Sir Fast, some orcs came here again.
They disposed of all the corpses."
After looking around and seeing no traces of camping nearby, Owen added: "But one thing is strange.
Except for the traces of Sir Fast and your departure, I can't find the direction in which the orcs moved the bodies.
There is no obvious difference nearby.
How did they dispose of the corpses?
Orcs don’t seem to have the habit of eating corpses of the same kind.
Could it be that I missed something?"
Owen's voice was very soft during the last two sentences, and Lorne understood that he was just talking to himself.
But the truth of the matter is related to the meat ball, in order not to expose any flaws.
Lorne interrupted Owen's thinking and quickly pointed out the general direction where Grant met the orc tribe.
"Sir, we met the orc troops in that general direction.
Why don't I take you to see them first?"
The main purpose of Owen and others is to detect the movements and scale of the orcs.
Lorne said something, but they must also cooperate with their own judgment.
The whereabouts of the body was just a small doubt, and Owen could clearly distinguish the priority.
After riding with Lorne for a while, they came to a relatively flat grassland, and the messy footsteps could still be clearly seen even after a day.
Owen was very familiar with the traces trampled by the orcs, and the large footprints in front of him already proved that what Lorne said was true.
Indeed, a large number of orcs passed by here and headed southeast.
The experienced Owen even judged the size of the orc army from the scope of the traces, a tribe of about three thousand.
Based on the characteristics of the orcs, who are all soldiers, even if the old and weak are excluded, they should still have more than two thousand capable soldiers.
To completely defeat them in a field battle, humans usually need to summon multiple troops.
Therefore, Namu Fortress must send at least five thousand troops to ensure that these orcs will never come back.
With five thousand troops of various types, it was impossible to reach their position in a short time.
Therefore, Irving still has a task.
It means tracking the orcs, calculating their location and reporting them regularly.
"Get the Swift Eagle."
After calling one of the knights to lift the cage hanging on the saddle, Owen took out a map and wrote and drew on it.
Lorne was very interested in the war model of the other world, and he didn't know what they should do next.
Get close to Owen and watch him mark on the map.
Lorne asked doubtfully: "Mr.
Owen, are you trying to calculate the location of the orcs?
This point is their current location."
Lorne couldn't understand the circles on the rough map at all.
The map of another world couldn't be as clear as the one on Earth.
There was only a rough location on it.
The range of any point may be several kilometers, and it is almost impossible to find the location of the orcs on the map.
Owen's answer also confirmed that Lorne was not just imagining things.
The map was only an aid, and the key tasks still had to be solved by them.
I was listening well until Owen said the last two sentences.
Lorne immediately understood that he was seeking death.
"We will follow the tracks of the orcs while making real-time reports to the incoming troops.
Until the situation of the orcs is completely confirmed, we will finally fight to the death with the orcs at the place of our choice."

Lorne wanted to ask Owen if he was among us he was talking about.
If not, he hopes to go back soon.
Tracking the orcs is not an easy job.
Not counting his team, there are only thirteen people in total including Owen and others.
If you are discovered by an orc during the tracking process, imagine the scene of thousands of green-skinned monsters roaring and rushing towards you.
He couldn't help but shudder.
Irving and the others might be able to escape by relying on the strength of the Cavaliers, but what should he do?
Facing thousands of orcs, even if Grant were to cut off the rear, it would be impossible to stop them.
It's all because he boasted too much on the road.
Lorne showed himself to have a sense of collective honor in front of Owen.
Now if he wanted to escape alone, he couldn't take the initiative to speak.
We can only hope that Owen will consider his young age and not lead him to death.
Unfortunately, Owen's expectant look in Lorne's eyes meant something else entirely.
He patted the young man on the shoulder and said in an experienced tone: "Don't think too much.
Tracking may not lead to encounters with orcs.
I understand your mood, don't worry, you will definitely be part of the real battle." ” The first sentence can indeed put Lorne's mind at ease a little, but the meaning of Owen's second sentence is God's witness.
He just wanted to sneak in and pick something up.
Who said we were going to fight in real battles?
"How could it be his turn to appear in the real battle?
I think you should just stay behind."
Although Baker is only a knight, his family's power is not small.
The other knights will not interrupt when Owen is talking.
Only he dared to say a few words.
However, Lorne, who had always disliked him, rarely felt that the other party said something pleasant.
If he could stay behind, Lorne would naturally not fight with them.
He was just about to take advantage of Baker's words and stay behind, but unexpectedly Owen stepped in for him.
"Knight Baker, Sir Fast has proven with facts that he is not lying.
Being able to defeat the Wolf Cavalry also shows his strength.
It is his right to participate in the battle.
You are not qualified to stop him."
After reprimanding Baker, Owen encouraged again Looking at Lorne, "Don't worry, Sir Fast, as soon as the Marquis' army arrives.
I will recommend you to him.
By then, you will definitely get what you want."
What Lorne wanted was safety and comfort, but Owen had already gone so far as to say that.
If he refuses, not only will Baker look down on him, but he might even lose the goodwill he finally gained from Irving.
Bracing himself, Lorne thanked Owen.
In his heart, he prayed that the Marquis who led the army wouldn't be an idiot and really let him go to the battle.
As long as the credit book was enough for him to leave this useless place, Lorne didn't ask for much.
Hearing Lorne's affirmative answer, Owen felt relieved and tied the written note to Swift Eagle's paw.
The smart guy didn't need to be reminded.
He spread his wings and disappeared from Lorn's sight in a few minutes.
