That’s Hilarious

Roland ordered his subordinates to march all the way, but did not catch up with the orc troops. It's not that I can't catch up, but it didn't take long to catch up, and I had to slow down because of physical strength.

Not to mention whether he could catch up, it was because he saw a few more orcs on the road. Even if he caught up, when his physical strength was exhausted, it was just a handful of loess at the feet of the orcs.

According to some clues, Roland came to a conclusion that surprised him, that is, these orcs are going to clean up these pioneering areas in the north.

In this way, it was not until evening that Roland and the others saw the fire on the city wall.

I saw that on the city wall, there were many soldiers and armors, and the brazier was lit every not too far away. From time to time, I could hear the sergeant's voice of harmony. Occasionally flashing figures appear extremely busy.

On the Orc side, the fangs protruding from their mouths flashed coldly in the moonlight. They were all muscular and strong men, revealing a fierce aura.

These orcs are already building siege ladders, and there are actually dozens of them; there are also many bundled logs scattered on the ground, which are obviously wooden bridges used to cross the moat, and they are still It is covered with animal skins for fire protection.

At this time, Roland was faced with a dilemma. Turning around and leaving obviously violated the spirit of the contract. After all, he was employed by the lord of this place. But if he was to lead the soldiers to rush in, as a commander, he couldn't disregard the soldiers' lives like this.

After thinking about it for a long time, in the end, he couldn't let go of the idea of ​​getting rich overnight. These orcs were big mobile experience packs, and Roland was reluctant to give up. In the baron's warehouse, there are more sophisticated equipment, and Roland is reluctant to give up.

And the basis for all this to be implemented is the strategic map that comes with the system, which allows you to see the number of enemies and allies within one kilometer. With this, as long as there are not many orcs left, he can defeat them and enjoy the fruits of victory.

If it turns out that there are still a lot of orcs left, I will retreat to the North Wind Fortress. Anyway, there is a map, and at most, slow down, and safety is still guaranteed.

"Pursue wealth and risk, fight for it."

Roland looked at the castle quietly, waiting for his opportunity.

The orcs quickly set up the siege ladder. They were in groups of a dozen, and four of them walked in front with the log planks that had been tied in advance. The wooden board can be used as a shield to defend against arrows, and there are a dozen or so people behind them. Two of them have siege ladders in their hands and can set up ladders at any time.

Humans obviously noticed the attack of the orcs. They took out rockets, lit them on the brazier next to them, and shot them at the orcs.

The rocket hit the thick log, and the fire couldn't burn for a while, and the orcs continued to charge forward regardless.

The rocket that had been placed on high expectations did not have the expected effect. Although it was expected, Baron Kewan could not hide his disappointment, but he did not order the replacement of ordinary arrows.

In the case of victory, of course, it is necessary to save if you can. In such a situation where you can hardly see the result, there is nothing to waste. As long as there is an effect, give it all to me.

Although Baron Cowan thought so, but the soldiers below saw that the rocket did not achieve the expected effect, and the morale dropped a lot with the naked eye. Although the frequency of the arrows remained the same, everyone remained silent for a while, just mechanically executing orders.

"I can't say that as long as you persevere, you can do anything, but as long as you give up, there will be nothing."

After Baron Cowan said this, he didn't speak again.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner. The security team is responsible for carrying arrows, kerosene, and stones, everything that can cause harm to orcs. The soldiers, on the other hand, are recharged and ready to fight the orcs at any time.

Soon the orcs broke through the moat, and the rocket shot an orc on the shoulder. The orc only snorted, then broke the arrow and continued to charge forward. Such a powerful orc puts everyone under enormous pressure. If there is no retreat, they may have collapsed at this time.

Among the charging orcs, only a very small number of orcs fell to the ground because of their hits, and this was still in the absence of iron armor.

If the First Empire is not destroyed, the orcs at this time may only dare to stay on their own territory.

Many people began to miss the glory of the First Empire.

Baron Cowan thinks of a person, Roland, I don't know what his surname is, and his troops are neatly formed; if he is there, it is a pity that he is not a member of my Cowan family. If his soldiers are as elite as him, maybe this victory Negative is unknown.

What Baron Cowan didn't know was that no matter what the strength of the cavalry and slashing soldiers, they could accurately rule out several formations. It had nothing to do with their strength.

The sound of the shattering clay pot woke up the contemplative Baron Kewan. It turned out that the orcs had already rushed to the city. As the rockets were fired, some orcs were ignited on the spot, and they scrambled to jump into the moat.

The kerosene melted into the water instantly and ignited the river surface. When they put their heads out of the water, what they saw was this sea of ​​fire, and they could only put their heads into the water again. However, whether it is a human or an orc, they all need to breathe, and their struggles are to no avail.

Even if the orcs are dead, the flames still burn, until the kerosene runs out.

At this time, the orcs were obviously the same as humans, there was no way out, and the tragic death of the orcs inspired their fierceness. Their red eyes are particularly conspicuous at night, like demons in the abyss.

Because the city wall is too wide, the number of defenders is seriously insufficient. The soldiers who could only meet the defense of the inner fort were placed on the expanded city wall, which appeared to be very rare.

This is a place protected by only three people. The orc's ladder is placed on the parapet; a soldier tried to push down the siege ladder, but as soon as he emerged, he was slashed in the chest by a whistling axe. It penetrated the leather armor and fell into the chest, bleeding nonstop. And the orc below saw this scene, with a grin on his face, holding a weapon in one hand and a ladder in the other, and quickly climbed up.

The soldiers above did not dare to show their faces, but they also held their positions and called for support at the same time...

However, there were too many siege ladders prepared by the orcs, and they were too scattered. In some places, the orcs rushed to the city wall before the kerosene was moved.

In desperation, the baron had to order the soldiers to abandon the outer fort, the security team set off first, and the soldiers retreated slowly through the hinged wooden bridge at the junction of the city wall.

Although part of the retreat entered the inner fort before, the inner fort gate was too small, and a stampede incident was inevitable.

More and more orcs have climbed the city wall, and less than half of the humans have retreated, so every second of waiting seems particularly torturous.

After observing the terrain, the orc commander did not choose to attack from inside the city, but chose to attack from the junction of the city walls.

Seeing the direction of attack chosen by the orcs, the baron's expression changed. At this time, the orcs were already entangled with some human soldiers. Obviously, if they were to withdraw all, the orcs would also rush in.
