That’s Hilarious
Chapter 19: The End of the Northern Frontiers (Part 2)
The soldiers fought and retreated. Orcs were often cut off and still alive and well, while humans often fell off the city wall or their shields cracked under the blow of the orcs.
The armor on his body, whether it is leather armor or cotton armor, will shatter at a touch when faced with the exaggerated power of the orcs.
The wooden bridge linking the city wall was right in front of him. It only took a while to arrive. His body suddenly lost his strength, and his eyes began to spin. He saw a headless corpse. He knew the clothes.
This is a young man who could not restrain his inner fear and chose to leave his back to the orcs.
The soldiers in the rear didn't have time to grieve. They took bows and shot arrows, and the arrows roared at the orcs; some of the orcs fell to the ground, and more orcs rushed forward.
The width of the city wall is only three meters. Due to the narrow terrain, only three orcs can attack side by side. The human arrows were not affected. They set the arrows out without much aiming, they quickly set up their bows to shoot arrows, and the orcs also charged forward one after another.
The situation was at a stalemate for a while.
"Sir, do you want to suspend the offensive?" an orc captain asked.
"Continue to attack, and at the same time send someone to the moat to get those wooden boards, and we will be able to attack soon." The orc commander obviously had a plan in mind.
"My lord is really amazing, I thought so far from the beginning."
The orc captain immediately understood, and immediately called some orc soldiers to fetch those wooden boards.
In fact, the orc commander didn't think so much, but the wooden suspension bridges closed by human hinges reminded him of the planks still in the moat.
*****
In such a situation, it seems that humans have the upper hand and keep killing orcs. But Baron Cowan understood that all this was temporary, and soon the archers would be exhausted, the arrows would be sparse, and after a while, they would be completely exhausted.
"Knight Bellam, open the warehouse and let the soldiers of the security team choose their own weapons and equipment."
"But..."
"There is no but, Knight Bellam Yeager. Whether we can survive today depends on how strong the will of those civilians is to survive."
Hearing Baron Cowan calling his full name, Knight Bellam paused in his heart, knowing that the Baron was already very angry, so he didn't say anything more. Greet the quartermaster directly and head to the warehouse.
"All members of the security team come with me, collect weapons and armor, and defend the city together."
When Baron Cowan saw this, he still couldn't hide his concern. Because of the usual training, the soldiers only wear simple leather armor and cotton armor and other equipment, and only put on iron armor during the war. In fact, there are still many iron armors in the warehouse, but the orcs attack too fast; he can only order professional soldiers to guard the city defense, and there is no chance to change clothes.
The outer city is usually only provided to the nearby villagers as a place for trade, and when the orcs arrive in the dark, the civilians have already left the city and returned to their respective villages.
I blame myself for being careless, thinking I can hold on until the reinforcements arrive. Seeing this, I can't make it through tonight. I don't know what happened to the village outside the city.
I saw the orcs open the gate of the outer city, and in the moat, they brought some wooden boards that were not burned to the city wall.
In the face of this wave of attack by the orcs, the defenders were just about to lift the wooden bridge, and the orcs had already rushed up; the weight changed, and some people's hands were instantly pressed down, and they screamed in pain.
Seeing this scene, Baron Cowan knew that the city could no longer be defended.
He came to the lord's hall in despair. Faced with the questions of his wife and son, he didn't say anything, just let the attendants put on armor for him. Seeing this, the baroness seemed to understand something. He stopped his child's questioning and stepped forward to help the baron put on the armor.
At this moment, the Andal knight broke in, and said as soon as he entered the door. "Sir, break through, the orcs have come up, there are too many people."
"This is the territory of the Kewan family, how dare you tell me to go?" The angry Baron Nob Kewan drew out his armed sword and pointed the tip of the sword at the Andal Knight.
"As the orcs haven't fully attacked yet, we can completely open the city gate and rush out from the city gate."
On the other hand, Andal was not afraid at all, staring stubbornly at Baron Cowan with wide eyes.
"Okay, you won." Baron Cowan put down the armed sword in his hand helplessly.
"Andar, how long have you been loyal to my family?"
"It's been 20 years, my lord."
"Yeah, it's been 20 years." Thinking of this, Baron Cowan was a little sighed.
"Bring 2 soldiers who can ride horses, bring Silas, go to the stables to pick up the horses, and go with two horses. Only by riding can it be possible to escape the pursuit of the orcs."
"Sir, what about you?" Andal asked sadly.
"There is no time to grieve, my friend Andal, take my son to Northwind Fortress. From now on, Silas will be the new Baron Kovan. Until he comes of age, you will be his guardian, protect him, Also educate him. As for me, let's see if these gutter rats are strong."
Baron Cowan packed up his mood, his eyes gleamed, as if he had returned to his youthful appearance. The Andal Knight looked at him in a trance.
"Yes, my lord, promise to complete the task."
After Andal gave a solemn salute, he stepped forward, pulled Silas and left.
"Promise me, Knight Andal, you must protect Silas."
The baroness understands that the situation has reached an irreversible point, UU reading www. uukanshu.com looked at 10-year-old Silas and shed tears silently.
"Yes, ma'am, unless I am dead, I will never let Baron Silas Cowan be hurt a little."
The Andal Knight solemnly promised.
"Mother, I want to go with you and father." Silas seemed to understand something and was unwilling to leave.
"Take him out of here, Knight Andal, immediately, immediately."
......
Roland watched as the number of people representing both sides slowly decreased, and the number of orcs fell below the 100 mark.
Roland exhaled a turbid breath, it was time.
"Everyone, come with me."
The soldiers followed Roland across the suspended wooden bridge of the orcs and came under the city wall. I saw the city gate opened, and the sound of swords intersecting faintly came from inside.
Roland raised his right hand to signal the soldiers to stop.
Behind him, Mirron walked gently to Roland's side. This young man, who had always been known for his steadiness, now had a bit of anxiety on his face, and he squeezed the sweaty weapon that looked slippery. Said: "Sir, how long do we have to wait."
Obviously, ambush in the eyelids of a large group of orcs, they all bear a lot of pressure in their hearts, and everyone seems a little anxious. Roland realized that he could use the map to know how long there were orcs, but the soldiers didn't know.
"There are only less than 50 orcs, wait for my order."
Roland obviously said half of the orcs less, just wanted them not to be too nervous.
After hearing that there were not many orcs, these soldiers were obviously relieved. They either leaned on the city wall or moved their hands and feet to relieve the muscle tension caused by the tension just now.
