Hero characteristics:

Train together. During the training process, it is believed that officers and soldiers should work together and advocate steel discipline. The daily training process has a 1-5 increase effect on morale.

Strong training of elite soldiers, brutal training allows soldiers to gain a certain improvement in training experience, but brutal training every day also reduces soldiers' morale by 5-10 points, and there is a certain chance of mutiny during training.

Training expert, the professional skill of the instructor, reduces the training cost by 45%.

Training expert 2, the professional skill of the instructor, can improve the professional level of the trained soldiers by 1.

City defense general, when the general is in the city defense state, the morale of all soldiers in the city is +5, and the defense is +5%, which is refreshed daily. 】

The fifth characteristic "city defense general" that Resarit has realized is probably ineffective for leading soldiers out of the city to fight. The morale of the soldiers +5 will not work at all, and the value of physical defense +5% is too low.

However, this characteristic is exaggerated for assisting in defending the city.

Under normal circumstances, the characteristics of the famous hero can only act on the soldiers under their command, just like Raymond who has "shooter command". In recent years, Rhodes has been frantically adding some charm to him and improving his command ability, just to allow his characteristics to be strengthened to more shooters.

The fifth characteristic of Resarit directly affects the whole city. Although the value of physical defense +5% does not seem high, if it affects all the soldiers in the city, the total value will be greatly increased.

Moreover, morale is very important in the defense of the city with the weak against the strong. The characteristic effect is refreshed once a day, that is, morale +5 every 24 hours, and the longer the time, the greater the replenishment.

Rhodes himself did not expect that the hero Resarit could grow step by step to where he is today.

Resarit's qualifications are not high among the famous generals, and his temperament also has certain flaws.

But in the years in the Lonely Mountain Castle, he trained soldiers and studied military classics. Although he had shortcomings, he was more stubborn. It was precisely because of this stubbornness that he was pushed to where he is today step by step.

However, Rhodes was not happy for long because the scouts heading north brought back a shocking news that extinguished all his joy.

Because of this news, Rhodes went to the north to investigate in person, and the Duke's whereabouts were strictly confidential for the Lonely Mountain Castle.

We can't let too many people know how many orcs from the north have come, otherwise the army may lose morale.

In the northern desert, the midnight wind and sand engulfed the white-bone bull head.

In the sky, huge griffins fluttered their wings and flew. Rhodes stood next to the campfire, closing his eyes and feeling the light and heat spreading from the campfire.

After a while, an elite griffin knight landed and reported:

"My Lord Duke, according to our current calculations, the total number of orcs in the north is about 600,000 to 700,000."

While saying this, sweat was flowing down the cheeks of the elite griffin knight. The endless orc army that could not be seen was really terrifying.

"..."

Rhodes stood there, closing his eyes and ignoring him.

A moment later, another griffin that was much larger and stronger than the others landed. Cress jumped down from it, walked over and half-knelt to salute:

"Master, according to my calculations, the number of northern orcs invading this time may be nearly one million. Judging from the traces left by those beasts after camping, they have begun to eat people."

The Lonely Mountain Castle keeps orc slaves, and the northern orcs also keep human slaves. A civilized race can be degraded to the level of domesticated beasts as long as its three generations of education are cut off.

This is how the northern orcs keep human slaves. The continuous generations of enslavement have made them recognize their identity.

"Use the whole country's strength and burn the boats?"

After hearing Cress's report, Rhodes slowly opened his eyes.

He cursed in his heart, wondering if he had dug up the ancestral graves of the Kodar family. However, things have come to this point, everyone can make trouble, but he can't.

"Secure the news strictly and never allow it to leak out. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy. Cress, let's go."

After saying this, Rhode led the Griffin Knights who followed him back to Lonely Mountain. At this point, could Rhode still go to the orc camp to persuade them to withdraw or come less? He could only take it one step at a time.

What's more, quality is more important than quantity. With the productivity of this era, a million-strong army could be gathered. Even if the whole country's strength was combined, it might not be enough to support its logistics. If this battle could not be won quickly, the decline of the ancient northern orcs led by Kodar was inevitable.

Rhode could almost imagine how Kodar would boost morale. He would point at the Lonely Mountain Castle and roar:

"In front of you is the last fortress of the human camp. If you capture it, you will have all the food, wealth, women, and slaves you want."

"If we can't capture it, everyone will die here!"

"It's really crazy, but Darl must have damaged his brain by practicing evil arts."

Rhodes' whisper was not just a slander. He learned from the death hermit Alan Dire in the Wailing Mountains that Kedar has been trading with the lower planes, and people who have been trading with evil spirits for many years, even if they have willpower A powerful spellcaster may inevitably be tainted with a bit of madness.

That month, a million-strong army of northern orcs pressed into the territory. Rhodes ordered to block the news, only saying that the ancient orcs gathered more than 400,000 troops to attack Gushan.

At this moment, the fate of the orcs and humans was forced into a blind corner with no room for maneuver.

After the army arrives, normally it should set up camp, take a short rest, restore the strength of the soldiers, prepare siege equipment, and finally start the siege.

However, Kedar did not do this. It prepared siege equipment while attacking the city. If it took a long time, these people would starve to death anyway, so it would be better to use them to consume the physical strength and willpower of the Gushan Castle defenders.

In particular, those pushed to the front row by the orcs to die were not the orcs, but a large number of human slaves.

From the point of view of the orcs, they have to kill them anyway, so it is better to use human hands to lower the morale of the soldiers on the city wall.
