Throne of the North

Xiangshan Plain.

Thousands of human soldiers were fleeing frantically, throwing away their armor and helmets. Behind them, the demon-like black goat men were cruelly chasing the fleeing humans, digging out their hearts and putting them in their mouths.

The Xiangshan Plain Fortress was completely occupied. Behind the escape, one could see broken ruins, broken walls and black smoke rising into the sky.

The human soldiers had no desire to fight in their minds, only the desire and fear of survival. Many soldiers still don’t understand why the Xiangshan Plain Fortress was breached. Most of them didn’t even encounter the enemy in the fortress.

The defeat of the war seemed to be in an instant. Then the orcs rushed into the fortress and slaughtered humans crazily. The soldiers were terrified. When the knights stopped resisting and began to flee, these soldiers could no longer care about fighting and fled into the province.

But as they ran, the soldiers at the front looked at the distance in fear. They stopped, their teeth trembling. The North Wind Province in late summer had not yet entered the cold winter, but their bodies seemed to be cold and stiff and unable to move.

"There are orcs ahead."

A dense crowd of black goat men appeared in front of their escape. After the fortress was occupied yesterday, some of the black goat men rushed into the North Wind Province and surrounded Hanshan City where Viscount Landa was located.

After a long attack without success, the black goat men turned around and surrounded the human soldiers who escaped from the Xiangshan Plain Fortress today.

They had hideous faces, and their black goat heads revealed bloodthirsty cruelty, roaring and rushing towards the humans.

The goat horns butted, and the soldiers who had abandoned their weapons and armor in order to escape were unable to defend themselves. The moment their bodies were pierced, the despair of death came, and what floated before their eyes was their mediocre life.

The soldiers waved their fists to resist, but they had no strength.

The black goat men who returned from Hanshan City began to surround the thousands of fleeing human soldiers with the orcs in the north of Xiangshan Plain, and the massacre began. Without the advantage of terrain and weapons, humans were no match for the orcs.

Hanshan City.

Viscount Landa walked on the city wall in a hurry. After experiencing an orc invasion, the viscount had become much more stable. He gave up many of the enjoyments of the nobility and turned from a wealthy noble lord into a powerful noble who was vigorous and resolute.

But even if he made changes, he could not save the human soldiers who escaped outside. He tried to send the knights' army to Xiangshan Plain to rescue those soldiers, but the army was driven back by the black goat people again and again, and the losses were not small. The number of black goat people outside Hanshan City was increasing. In addition, there were some weak orcs at the slave level among the orcs.

"Why was the fortress in Xiangshan Plain defeated?!"

"The money we spent allowed the fortress to have a magic formation against the legend!"

Viscount Landa was roaring and questioning the knights who returned from the fortress. The terrible thing was that even he, the viscount closest to Xiangshan Plain, did not know how the fortress was defeated.

Too fast, everything was too fast. In just one day, the fortress of Xiangshan Plain was breached by the Black Goat Man. The orcs once again entered the human land as if they were in an empty space, and the dignity of the North Wind Province was trampled by the orcs again.

"Why!"

Viscount Landa dropped the knight's long sword on the neck of a golden knight from the Earldom of Winter. At this moment, he lowered his head and said in fear:

"We... We underestimated the cruelty of the orcs. They attacked the fortress in the dark. There were less than a thousand soldiers defending the fortress wall, and the army could not react at all."

Viscount Landa slapped the other side with a sword, almost suppressing his roar.

"The Black Goat Man can climb the wall, climb the wall!!! Don't you know!"

"The city under your feet was originally breached by the Black Goat Man!!!"

Viscount Landa was extremely angry. What were the defenders of these fortresses thinking? There were less than a thousand soldiers defending the high walls of the fortress.

"The Black Goat People are not used to darkness, and we don't know why they can see clearly in the dark. Moreover, the Black Goat People are not afraid of fire."

"Enough!"

Viscount Landa kicked the knight down and shouted.

"Now, immediately send your soldiers to tell Earl Winter to send the Flying Wolf Legion to support the Xiangshan Plain. The North Wind Province must not allow the orcs to invade our territory for the second time. This will be a shame for the empire and the entire North Wind Province!"

After shouting, Viscount Landa walked towards other places. He needed to take advantage of the time when the Black Goat People did not surround this place and seize every opportunity to collect the food and equipment in the territories of the nobles outside. This city was the first human land to face the orcs after the Xiangshan Plain Fortress was breached.

He didn't dare to imagine what the result would be if the Black Goat People breached Hanshan City for the second time. Perhaps most of the people in this city would die, and he, Viscount Landa, would once again become a wandering noble.

The Xiangshan Plain Fortress, which took several months, countless money and materials to rebuild, was breached within a day. The news spread throughout the Beifeng Province. Every noble who heard the news was in disbelief and could not believe the result.

"How could it be breached?"

Even the two earls were puzzled. They sent the extraordinary army to the Xiangshan Plain. This is not the time to be selfish and complacent. As Viscount Landa said, if Beifeng Province cannot resist the second time If the Black Goat Men speak, the nobles here will become the laughing stock of the entire empire.

They have put in so much effort to integrate their family's emblem towards the south, and now they are going to lose everything?

"The black goat men must not cross Hanshan City. We must stop the orcs outside Hanshan City."

The nobles quickly formed an army and headed towards Hanshan City to support them. However, before they arrived, the orcs from Xiangshan Plain had already surrounded Hanshan City.

Looking at the densely packed black goat men outside, Viscount Landa's heart was trembling. He didn't know when the war would break out.

At night, Viscount Landa heard a deafening roar in the mansion. He woke up from the bed, and his red eyes frightened the Viscountess next to him.

"What happened?"

The Viscountess asked. Viscount Landa already had a bad answer. He hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out. In the mansion, nervous soldiers had drawn their swords and stared in the direction of the distant city wall.

"The orcs attacked?"

Viscount Landa asked, and the knight answered bravely. He was not entirely sure, but the distant shouts of death forced him to say it.

"Yes sir, it seems the Black Goat Men are attacking this evening."

The whole night, the people and slaves in Hanshan City did not sleep. The smoke coming from outside the city told them what happened last night, and the Black Goat Man really launched an attack.

Fortunately, having learned from the past, Viscount Landa ordered the army to be vigilant at night, and the Black Goatmen failed to penetrate the city wall after all.

Looking at the corpses on the city wall, Viscount Landa's face was cold. He was very tired. His pupils were not so focused after not sleeping all night, but the number of these corpses still made him feel a little scared.

Outside, in the distance, there are still orcs wandering around. I don’t know how many orcs there are in the forest. The soldiers dare not leave the city.

"At least tens of thousands of Black Goatmen launched an attack. Those Black Goatmen warriors were able to climb on the surface of the city wall. The remaining ordinary Black Goatmen built ladders. Perhaps... this is how the Xiangshan Plain Fortress was defeated."

Viscount Landa was surprised that tools appeared in the Black Goatmen's army, but he quickly accepted it, because orcs are also an intelligent race, and having a bad mind does not mean they are fools. They also use simple tools in their lives. Once the orcs went south, they robbed human pots and pans.

The soldiers were also extremely tired. They slept against each other on the city wall. During the day, Hanshan City was very quiet, and everyone was catching up on their sleep.

Another night, the Black Goat Men once again launched an attack in the dark. Without the vision brought by light, the human heart was beating constantly. They were so nervous that they could not sleep at all. Until the dawn of dawn, the crowd still gathered to pray and pray. It is the new light that has emerged in the empire recently. The war is too close to them, and countless people are shrouded in the terrifying shadow of the war.

Continuously, support from the surrounding nobles arrived around Hanshan City, but they were blocked from the outside. The orcs were sandwiched between them, making it impossible for them to enter Hanshan City.

Moreover, before more noble troops came to support, the orcs launched an attack on these reinforcements. The ferocious orcs made the noble troops retreat again and again, and they were even almost defeated.

The reinforcements of the nobles did not dare to approach Hanshan City anymore. They waited for the noble armies from other counties behind them. Another three days passed. Even the cavalry regiment of Viscount Hogg of Yinchuan County had come to support, with more than 15,000 troops. The soldiers gathered together and headed towards Hanshan City under the leadership of Hora Winter.

"Why are there so many damn orcs? Has their population recovered in just two years?"

Some people said angrily that less than two years after the last orc invasion, they encountered orcs heading south again. For these people, the past few years have been terrible.

The army stopped, and a large number of orcs appeared in front, blocking Hanshan City from them.

"Can Viscount Landa in the city send troops out?"

Lord Hora asked. He hoped that Hanshan City's army could support them and attack the orcs from both sides.

"There are also orcs threatening them in the north of Hanshan City. I will try my best to support them."

Viscount Landa responded and handed it over to the Airwolf Cavalry to bring back. Lord Hora nodded and, after a short rest, directed the army to attack forward.

"Kill those ugly orcs!"

As the army advances, the flying wolf cavalry descends from the sky and bites the black goat men. They are strong and their individual strength exceeds that of the black goat man warriors.

The overwhelming force of fifteen thousand soldiers overwhelmed them, and only one or two thousand Black Goatmen were also overwhelmed.

In Hanshan City, Viscount Landa saw this scene and sent hundreds of people to open the city gate to support.

At this moment, densely packed and howling orcs rushed out from both directions. They rushed towards the human army. The ferocious faces and the sudden arrival of unknown orcs made the soldiers a little nervous. Enter a state of war.

"Defense, let's move forward and rush into Hanshan City!"

Lord Hora immediately shouted. He could clearly see that the number of orcs appearing on both sides was about the same as their army, but with the existence of extraordinary legions, they would not lose this war, and their purpose was also to enter the city.

At a distance of less than 300 meters, the fighting between humans and orcs lasted for two hours. After two hours, the exhausted orcs left one or two thousand corpses and fled.

The Flying Wolf Cavalry returned after chasing for more than a thousand meters. The Flying Wolf Cavalry Legion, which had suffered many losses, would no longer chase down the enemy easily.

The arrival of 15,000 soldiers made everyone in Hanshan City feel much more relaxed, especially Viscount Landa. The continuous attacks by the Black Goatmen at night for several days had made him nervous. There were not many soldiers in this city. , the vast majority of them are ordinary people who rush to sell products temporarily and do not have much fighting power.

"We want to take back the Xiangshan Plain Fortress!"

Viscount Landa said this. Of course he didn't want the war to break out in Hanshan City. Taking back the Xiangshan Plain Fortress was the best option.

"We are still not sure how many orcs there are, and our army is still too small to fight the black goat people on the Xiangshan Plain."

Hora rejected Viscount Landa's proposal. Of course, he also wanted to take back the Xiangshan Plain Fortress. There were still a large number of soldiers fleeing and hiding there, but the current strength and number of the army simply could not do this.

…

"Hahaha, these stupid humans, they actually locked themselves up."

On the Xiangshan Plain, in the orc camp, the tall 'Gage' werewolf was laughing. Why the black goat men were able to attack at night was certainly the result of the werewolf.

"Chief Weiss, humans have entered their city, and it will be more difficult for us to capture that city."

"Last time we had tens of thousands of warriors and were able to easily defeat the human city, but now, we are no longer able to invade the city with a large number of Black Goatmen."

Inside the camp, the leader of the Black Goat People, their chief, said in confusion, humans are cunning and hiding in the city, making it more difficult for them to attack. Why are the werewolves laughing?

"Stupid guy, it's because of a stupid orc chief like you among the orcs that the cunning humans have occupied the land in the south!"

The werewolf Weiss roared angrily, and then proudly explained his wisdom.

Hanshan City.

Viscount Landa and Lord Hora were suddenly surprised to find that the number of orcs surrounding the city had decreased.

Soon, the Airwolf Cavalry came to report that a large number of orcs appeared in other places. Some nobles had discovered traces of orcs around their territories.

"Damn it!"

Lord Hora punched the wall. He understood that these orcs surrounded them here, and then dispersed to attack the nobles' territory.

The army here is composed of soldiers from the nobles. When the soldiers are sent here, the number of troops in the hands of the nobles has been greatly reduced. How can they fight against the sudden orcs?

"No, we need to rescue those noble territories."

It is already the end of summer and autumn is about to begin. In other words, the autumn harvest is approaching and the land is full of golden food. It is impossible for the humans in the noble territory to give up the food and let it be wasted. They must come out to harvest.

Otherwise, I will definitely not be able to bear it this winter, and it will be no different from death.

Lord Hora did not bring many people, only Viscount Hogg's cavalry and the Airwolf Cavalry left the city. They had very strong mobility, galloped across the land, and began to rescue the besieged noble territories.

"Not enough, it's too late, there are too many orcs!"

As a last resort, Hanshan City once again dispatched five thousand troops to support outside the city.

The army tried desperately to enter the city before, and now they desperately want to leave the city, but the Black Goat People did not allow them to leave so easily.

The extraordinary Legion Flying Wolf Cavalry Legion was still fighting the fire in the distance, and the cavalry with strong combat effectiveness on the plains also followed. This time, when the five thousand soldiers left the city, they were attacked by a large number of orcs.

At the same time, the Black Goatmen launched another attack on the northern wall of Hanshan City, making Viscount Landa afraid to send additional manpower to support the 5,000-man army leaving the city in the south.

"There were only two to three thousand orcs attacking them, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Viscount Landa thought this way, and on the southern battlefield, the five thousand human soldiers who were attacked finally resolved the attack after an embarrassing battle. In front of the corpses of hundreds of orcs, the remaining orcs were fleeing.

They went non-stop to support the besieged nobles. Behind them, Hanshan City encountered an attack by the strongest type. The Black Goatmen were still suitable for daytime wars, and it was officially daytime, allowing them to explode with more powerful combat power than at night.

Tundra Territory, Rhinohorn Mountain.

Ryan couldn't help but look at the news coming from a distance.

"idiot!"

Slapping the letter on the table, Ryan stood up and left. The female officer put on the mithril armor for him. Many people on Rhinohorn Mountain were a little panicked.

"Are you planning to go there yourself?"

Avril asked, the Tundra Territory is still facing the threat of werewolves, is Ryan going to leave at this time?

"The Xiangshan Plain Fortress cannot have an accident like this, otherwise the Tundra Territory will be attacked from both sides. I don't want to give up my land, so those nobles must guard the Xiangshan Plain."

Ryan said that although werewolves are scary, Ryan also had to make such a decision at this time.

Hanshan City.

Viscount Landa opened his eyes wide, looking at the tall black goat man outside the city wall, in the black air, he was running wildly, he was roaring, and finally came to the gate of Hanshan City. The black goat chieftain raised his head cruelly and smiled at Viscount Landa, then roared and hit the gate with his claws.

The power of the Holy Land erupted at this moment, a blurry black goat was roaring, and with a roar, the gate of Hanshan City turned into fragments and splashed through the flesh and blood of dozens of human soldiers.
