Ryan and Alando thought that after they submitted their information, the leader of the Thor Fortress garrison, General Keenst, would meet with them once to understand the situation in person, but who knew that after waiting for more than ten days, there was no news.
In the past ten days, the Orc Wolf Cavalry has become more and more aggressive. Not only did they push their blockade ten kilometers south, they also forced into the area ten kilometers outside the Thunder God Fortress several times. The area that can be seen from the fortress wall,
As General Kyenst said, what is supposed to come will come. With the appearance of an orc army, the orc army arrived outside the Thunder God Fortress one after another.
General Kyenst immediately raised the alert level of the Thunder God Fortress to the highest level, and arranged for some soldiers to take turns guarding it day and night to prevent the orc army from attacking at any time. Some of his subordinates suggested to General Kyenst that the orc army was setting up camp. Given the opportunity, he might be able to obtain unexpected benefits by sending heavy cavalry to attack them. However, the defender General Kyenst was worried about encountering an ambush by the orcs, so he rejected the suggestion on the spot and issued a strict order: "Anyone who goes to fight will be charged with treason." Executed on the spot."
As a result, the garrison of Thunder God Fortress watched helplessly on the city wall as 50,000 orcs formed a square formation and stood ready about ten kilometers away from them. Farther away, more than 50,000 orcs set up camps day and night. ,
After three days of busy work, the orc camp was built about fifteen kilometers away from the Thunder God Fortress. The entire camp stretched for more than ten kilometers and was divided into several parts. It was on the periphery of the camp, facing the side of the Thunder God Fortress. , the orcs dug criss-crossing deep pits. Each pit was ten meters wide and at least five meters deep. It was obvious at first glance that it was used to guard against human sneak attacks and cavalry assaults. Not all of these deep pits were dug. Approximately every 100 meters, there will be an area of about 10 meters that has not been touched. That will be the passage for the orc army to move out.
Behind these passages, the orcs used the excavated soil to pile up hills about three meters high. These were mostly used to station orc shooters. As long as these hills were defended, they could be condescending to prevent the human army from attacking the orc camp through these passages. Under such tight defense, if the human army wants to successfully cross the pit and enter the orc camp, it will pay a very heavy price.
In the most central part of all the camps, a ten-meter-high earth mountain was piled up. A quite huge tent was set up under the earth mountain. It is believed that this is the residence of the supreme leader of the orc army. The other camps are like stars holding the moon. They defended the center like a giant, and then the sight of the orcs moving in stunned the garrison of Thunder God Fortress. A total of 400,000 troops entered the camp in an orderly manner. All their warriors held tightly in their hands, all of which were fine weapons made of iron.
Although the Thunder God Fortress is far away from the orc camp, so far away that it is almost difficult to see clearly with the naked eye. Although General Keenst does not allow the garrison to go into battle, it does not mean that General Keenst will not send a small team to investigate. The orc troops who are well prepared simply ignore these things. The scouts on horseback would only use their bows and arrows to give a small warning when they were close to them.
What these scouts brought back was news that shocked General Kyenst: the 400,000 elite orc troops were all equipped with iron weapons. Although these iron weapons were worse than the steel weapons equipped by the most elite armies of humans, they had reached the level of and weapons that exceed the level of ordinary human armies. The soldiers of the orc army are full of energy, high morale, and have strong combat effectiveness.
The even more terrifying news is that on the passage between the orc camp and the Beast Blood Castle, there will be a military camp about every ten kilometers. Although there are only a few thousand people stationed in each military camp, if you want to sneak attack on the orcs, The supply line is almost impossible, because as long as the orc transport troops string the ox carts transporting food with iron ropes and use them as obstacles to stay in place for an hour, they can get more than 10,000 people rushing to help. The human cavalry in the Thor Fortress With only 10,000 people, even if they are deployed in full force, let alone whether they can escape the detection of the orc scouts, even if they successfully attack the opponent's supply line, they will still be surrounded by orc reinforcements because there is no backup, not to mention that General Keenst has no idea. Without the charm to dispatch these only 10,000 heavy cavalry,
At this time, General Kyenst remembered the information that seemed to have been given to him by a mercenary group called Leshen. He searched for more than thirty minutes in his residence and finally found it among a large pile of official documents. At the bottom, he found the piece of information that made him not worth looking at.
It is undeniable that this information did not come from the hands of a professional scout. Many key points were written vaguely, and even a lot of information that should have been the key points was ignored. However, this information is so about the orc army. The description was completely correct. General Kyenst suddenly felt regretful. If he had asked the mercenaries who wrote this information earlier, he might have been prepared earlier.
General Kyenst immediately sent out his soldiers to summon Ryan and others. However, his soldiers searched the entire "No. 2 Military Camp" and failed to find Ryan and others. Later, they only found out after asking at the Mercenary Guild that Ryan was there. "Camp No. 1" is the giant trebuchet position.
The reason why Ryan and the others were in this place that ordinary mercenaries could not get close to was all because of Lille and York. During the extra month that Lane and Allen went out, Lille and York were also worried about them, but these two Senior magicians have their own things to do, and it is impossible to go to the city wall and watch every day like Flanner. When Ryan and the others came back, Lille and York immediately came to the door and invited Ryan and Allen to come to them. 's residence,
Who knew that General Kyenst didn't take the intelligence that Lane and Allen had risked to get at all. Lane and Allen were bored and came to the place where Lille and York were standing next to the giant trebuchet. They were chatting happily at their residence when General Keenst's personal soldiers came to the door.
Without saying a word, Ryan and Allendo immediately left with General Kyenst's soldiers. In the command post of Thor Fortress, General Kyenst met with Lane and others. Lane and Allendo once again told about their experiences in the North Tower. What they saw on the London Prairie, this time because General Keenst, who is familiar with military affairs, was here, many things that Ryan and Alando had ignored were slowly reminded and truthfully told.
General Kyenst said nothing after listening to Lane and Allendo's description. He waved his hand and asked the soldiers to send them away. In the hearts of Lane and Allendo, they were dissatisfied with General Kyenst's behavior. Previously, I had shelved the information that I had risked my life to get, but later I found out that the information was very important, so I called people in for questioning, and was so rude to them.
However, Ryan and Allendo still didn't say anything. After all, the orc army was now approaching the city. Maybe General Keenst was under great pressure. However, after Lane and Allendo returned to their residence, they still sent a few words to Flanner. It's a complaint. After all, they paid a lot for this information, but they didn't get the attention they deserved. No one would be happy about this.
Flanner comforted them with some kind words. After all, General Keenst was born into a noble family. In his opinion, this might be a courtesy to a few unknown mercenaries from civilian backgrounds. Ryan heard that After this explanation, he suddenly fell silent. This was the first time he felt the invisible but almost insurmountable gap between the nobles and the common people.
