"I'm fine. Although it's a little cold here, the food is pretty good. Dear, please don't worry about me. Those green-skinned bastards are here again, but we have driven them away in the past 200 years. This time will be no exception, and..." The pastor wrote this, looking up at the soldier William standing in front of him, waiting for him to continue, so as to help him complete this family letter,
Soldier William is a farmer from Fernando City. He was recruited into the army last year. After undergoing rigorous training, William was selected along with many other outstanding soldiers and stationed at the Thunder God Fortress. According to the regulations of the empire, the soldiers stationed at the Thunder God Fortress After one year, you can bring your family here, and the garrison of Thor Fortress will build a cabin for them in "Barracks No. 2". When William is on vacation, the family can be reunited.
Since most of these soldiers are civilians and are illiterate at all, the Church of Light also has a small church in the Thunder God Fortress. In addition to preaching the teachings of the gods of light, the priests stationed here also help these soldiers write letters home. Now It was an emergency period. In order to prevent soldiers from leaving the defense line and rushing to the church, General Keenst specifically asked the only three priests in the church to come to the wall of Thor Fortress to write on the spot for the soldiers stationed on the front line. ,
William thought for a while and said, "Sorry to trouble you, please continue writing. Also, the rule here is that you can bring family members to live together. My dear, please think about it. If you are willing, wait until we get rid of these nasty green people." Bastards, you can follow the transport convoy here. The general will give us a small wooden house. My salary can also support a family. If you can't live idle, you can also raise a few cows so that our son You can drink fresh milk every day.”
"William, don't keep talking endlessly, we are all waiting." Several soldiers standing behind William said loudly. They are all William's comrades. They joined the army together and received training together. Got up and arrived at Thunder God Fortress,
William turned his head with an apologetic expression on his face, then turned his head back and said to the pastor who was immersed in writing: "Sorry to trouble you, that's all."
The priest nodded. He finished writing the last word on the parchment and was about to fold it when he suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "I almost forgot. I didn't write the date. These letters are on the way." It’s almost a month. It’s not a good idea not to write the date. Oh, by the way, William, today is May…”
"It should be May 7th. Well, let me think about it. It was Cullen's birthday the day before yesterday. He treated us to roast lamb. His birthday is on the 5th, so today, today is May 7th."
After listening to William's words, the priest nodded, spread out the parchment again, dipped some ink with a quill pen, and wrote on the last line of the letter: "May 7, 202 in the Bright Calendar..."
Just when the pastor was about to finish writing, suddenly there was a strong vibration from the earth. The pastor was not careful, his hand trembled, and the last word was written crookedly, but no one could care about it now, so they gathered around The soldiers around the priest immediately swarmed up to the outside of the city wall, trying to look towards the North Tarun prairie.
In the distance, the gate of the orc camp was fully opened, and countless orc soldiers poured out like a tide, slowly gathering into the open space to the south of the orc camp, forming a neat square formation, with twenty huge unknown monsters mixed in. In the orc army, walking out of the orc camp, the shock just now came from these monsters,
On the back of this unknown monster, there is a huge war drum. There are two orcs standing on both sides of the war drum. The four orcs wave their eight drumsticks together, beating the war drum with all their strength, and the war drum is born. There was a huge vibration, and it spread to the surroundings with it as the center. The war drum was very strange. Every time it was beaten, the soldiers who heard the sound felt their hearts beating, as if their heart beating frequency was changed. This war drum controls everything,
"Dang, Dang, Dang." The bronze bell on the city wall rang, which was a signal of enemy attack. More human soldiers poured out of the tents in Camp No. 1, picked up their weapons skillfully, and walked up one by one. At the top of the city, General Keenst was among them, followed closely by his adjutant Hans.
General Kyenst stood on the wall of the Thunder God Fortress and looked into the distance. Ten kilometers away, he saw more than countless orc troops arranged in neat square formations, standing there quietly. In the center of each square formation, There was an unknown monster, and the entire phalanx of orc soldiers was completely commanded by the sound of drums coming from the monster's back. They followed the drums and marched slowly towards the Thunder God Fortress in neat steps.
"Boom, boom, boom."
"Uh, uh, uh."
There are wide gaps between the phalanxes formed by the orc soldiers. I don’t know what the purpose is, but I don’t have the energy to think about it now, because the deep and loud drum sound is combined with the advancing footsteps of the orc soldiers. , brought huge psychological pressure to the human soldiers on the Thor Fortress,
When they advanced to a place ten kilometers away from the Thunder God Fortress, the drums suddenly started loudly and then stopped abruptly. The orc soldiers let out a loud and uniform roar, and stopped their progress.
General Kyenst took a breath of air. He saw an army of more than 100,000 orcs in front of him. It was so elite that it was not inferior to human infantry phalanxes. When did those mindless barbarians train like this? They didn't just swarm. Arrive at the Thunder God Fortress, and then attack the city in droves, only to be driven away by the last swarm
General Kyenst turned to his adjutant Hans and asked: "What are those monsters?"
Hans agreed, and then ran away. After a while, Hans hurried back and said to General Keenst: "I went to check. Someone recognized this monster and said its name is 'Thunder Beast'." ', Although they are huge, they only eat grass, but their skin is rough and their flesh is thick, so it is difficult for ordinary weapons to hit them hard."
At this time, a large number of soldiers once again walked out of the orc camp. However, these soldiers were different from the soldiers who had formed a square formation just now. The individual quality of these soldiers was obviously not as good as the previous ones. Most of them were old. , what they held in their hands were not sharp iron weapons, but bronze weapons, and some even held wooden sticks and whips, which were clearly tools used for herding.
These orc soldiers who came out later were far inferior to the former in terms of discipline. They swarmed up in a chaotic manner, passed through the gaps between the orc phalanxes in front, and came to the front of the entire orc position. They stood together in a mess. Behind these undisciplined orc soldiers are dozens of various siege vehicles. Although those huge guys have a rough appearance, General Kyenst, who is good at military affairs, can see their usefulness at a glance.
Those high shelves are siege ladders, orc soldiers can climb up the city wall along them; and those vehicles with thick wooden boards on top and heavy wooden hangings on the bottom are battering rams. Heavy objects dropped on the city wall will be hit by those angled The wooden planks that are put together are separated, and the hanging heavy wood has many threats whether it hits the city gate or the city wall; and the thing with the drag bucket behind it is a stone trebuchet, which can Throwing dozens of stones weighing more than 50 kilograms at the city wall can not only kill or injure enemy troops, but also open a gap for subsequent siege troops.
The more General Genster looked at it, the more surprised he became. These siege equipment were not difficult to make, but they were only for humans. How could these simple-minded green-skinned orcs learn to make such things? , General Kyenst suddenly remembered that in the intelligence handed over by Ryan, he described a detail, that is, the mysterious convoy, the vehicle style is exactly the most commonly used style by humans, and the iron ore picked up, it is basically It was excavated from the ore in the mountainous area in the northwest of mankind. Could it be said that someone among the humans provided all this for the orcs
"Uh~wu~wu." The orc soldiers suddenly let out wild screams together, and a small army walked out of the orc camp. This army numbered less than a thousand people, and the soldiers' breasts were uncovered. , revealing scars all over their bodies, and their lower bodies were only wearing a pair of black linen shorts. However, every soldier in this unit held a huge tomahawk in his hand. This kind of tomahawk was specially made. Its ax is almost as big as the upper body of an adult human man. Under the sunlight, it emits a black and translucent color. This is a scene that only appears with weapons made of pure steel. Unexpectedly, this orc army is fully equipped. A weapon made of pure steel, such a huge pure steel battle ax must weigh a lot, but these orcs did not show any signs of fatigue when they held it in their hands, as if what they were holding was just a child's item. toys
These thousand giant ax warriors guarded a chariot pulled by thirty-six Talon oxen. Standing on the chariot was an orc man wearing a black cloak. His figure was about the same as an adult human man. Almost, this is rare in the orc tribe that respects strength, because the height of orcs is usually more than 2 meters. Behind this orc man, stands a short old orc. This old orc is so tall Thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him away,
The orc man waved his hand, and the whole world seemed to quiet down. The orc man looked at the Thunder God Fortress in the distance, suddenly lowered his head and said a few words to the old orc behind him, and then greeted him loudly. The orc, who was of medium height and about forty years old, strode onto the chariot.
Although General Kyenst didn't know the identity of the orc man, based on what he saw before him, he knew that his identity was very important among the orcs. Unfortunately, the distance was too far, otherwise General Kyenst would definitely order a giant stone throw. The vehicle attacks the location of the tank,
