The command post of Thunder God Fortress is actually in Camp No. 1. This is the area dedicated to General Keenst and is guarded by his personal guards. Normally, if you approach here without the general's order, you can be dealt with according to military law. However, tonight, The guards responsible for keeping watch did not dare to treat Ryan and his party like this.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Magician. The general doesn't want to be disturbed. Please go back." The guard blocked Ryan's group with a long gun.
Ryan stared at the command post of Thunder God Fortress just twenty meters away, and said in a very serious tone: "I must see General Keenst immediately. Even if he doesn't want to see me, I still want to hear General Keenst with my own ears." Say this to me, this matter is very important, and I will bear all the consequences."
"This" guard felt a little hesitant when he saw Ryan insisting on meeting General Keenst. He knew Ryan's reputation. As a magician who killed thousands of orcs alone, Ryan was well-known in Thor Fortress. And even General Keenst is very polite to Ryan. Usually, it is very easy for Lane to meet General Keenst. He doesn't want to offend Ryan for no reason.
"Your Majesty the Magician, the general said he has something to think about, and it's already very late now. Why don't we come back tomorrow." If there were other people, the guards might have forced them out, but they could release magic bombardment with just a move of their hands. The orc-killing Lion magician, the guards didn't dare to be harsh, they just wanted to persuade him with kind words.
Ryan suddenly caught a trace of breath in the air. It was the smell of blood, but this smell was quite weak. If Ryan had not gone deep into the blood pool, he would never have noticed it. The last time he faced the trap set by the magician Green , Ryan was also alert in advance through this subtle feeling,
"Wait a minute." Ryan interrupted the guard and asked seriously: "It was General Keenst who told you personally that he wanted to think about something and would not allow anyone to interrupt."
"Ah" the guard thought carefully and said, "Oh, that's not true, but the general's adjutant Hans often conveys the general's orders, so"
When Ryan heard this, he immediately shuddered, and an ominous premonition emerged in his heart. He pushed away the guard blocking the way and strode towards the command post.
"Stop, you, you can't force your way in." The guard was pushed away. He didn't dare to use weapons to intercept Ryan. If Ryan misunderstood that he wanted to take action, it would be troublesome to throw a fireball preemptively, so he had to shout loudly,
The guards' shouts alerted many people nearby, and many soldiers who had already slept ran out one after another. It was summer anyway, and even if you only wore a pair of shorts, you wouldn't get cold.
"Ryan, what are you doing?" General Clark's voice came: "Aren't you going to keep vigil tonight? Why are you here?"
Ryan stopped and turned his head to look at General Clark walking over quickly with his bodyguards. He explained: "General Clark, Adjutant Hans used General Keenst's command to switch defenses with me, but I always feel something is wrong. ,so"
"Change the defense." General Clark said strangely: "I am the night patrol supervisor tonight. Why don't I know why I do this in the middle of the night?"
Ryan didn't say anything more. He walked to the door in a few steps and pushed it open.
A huge orc with an upper body and nearly three meters in height climbed up the wooden ladder and climbed up the city wall. The huge orc held a battle ax tightly in his hand. The blade of this battle ax was the size of an adult. ,
On the city wall, the original bonfires spaced 50 meters apart have undergone slight changes. Ten of them have been moved to less than 10 meters apart. On the city wall, there are also hundreds of human beings lying in random directions. Without exception, these human corpses had their eyes wide open, as if they didn’t believe what they were seeing.
There were at least fifty wooden ladders erected on the several-kilometer-long city wall of Thor Fortress. A large number of elite orc warriors climbed up the city wall one after another. After climbing up, these orcs immediately clenched their weapons quickly and silently. controlled the passage of the city wall,
In ten minutes, at least 5,000 orc elites appeared on the city wall. Although the number was not very large, they had firmly controlled the channels for human reinforcements from below to the top of the city wall. The offensive and defensive momentum of humans and orcs was within these ten minutes. Reversal within minutes,
A wizened old orc was carried onto the city wall by a strong orc. The orc knelt respectfully on the ground and let the old orc slowly get off his back. This old orc was the most trusted person of the Beast King. The wise man, Prophet Evan, is still wearing a striking white fur suit, with a necklace made of the skull of an unknown beast hanging around his neck, and in his hand is a totem made of the huge leg bone of some kind of monster. ,
A strong half-orc with a rough scratch on his forehead walked up to the old orc. This half-orc looked different from ordinary orcs. His skin was not green, but wheat-colored, and the half-orc's body was also covered with hair. With lush fur, it looks more like a beast that has been walking upright. He wears a pair of black steel claws on his hands, but the shape of the steel claws is also different from ordinary ones, more like a tiger's claws. In this half Behind the orc, a small section of tail hung down limply. When he walked, the small section of tail swung back and forth. Many people had laughed at him because of this, but none of them ended up with the same outcome. Exceptions have become food for the pets raised by this half-orc.
Although the half-orc was much larger than Prophet Evan, and even four prophets, Evan, could not fit into his body, the half-orc bent down and said respectfully: "Prophet Evan, we Already controlled the entire section of the city wall.”
The corners of Prophet Evan's mouth cracked, maybe he was smiling. This half-orc is the leader of the Blood Guards, the Beast King's personal guard. There is a "Blood Arena" in the orc capital Behemoth Castle, where countless gladiatorial battles are staged every day. , or orcs versus orcs, or orcs versus beasts, if those gladiators who are slaves can win ten games in a row, they will be free.
No one knows where this half-orc came from, but he has won thirty-seven games in a row in the Blood Arena, and even killed all the opponents who could fight him. With this record, the Beast King He couldn't help but take action himself. No one outside knew what happened in that battle. However, after the battle, this half-orc became the confidant of the Beast King.
The half-orc has no name and refuses to be named by others. He only has one nickname, "Ao". Under the order of the Beast King, he personally selected a group of elites. The selection method was very simple, and they were all thrown into the bloody gladiatorial battle. If you win ten games in a row, you will automatically qualify. This group of elites is responsible for protecting the safety of the Beast Emperor. They are called the Blood Guards, and Ao becomes the leader of the Blood Guards.
Prophet Evan pointed to a similar "Camp No. 1" one kilometer away with the totem in his hand, and said to Ao: "There are more than 100,000 human warriors there. Our strength is not enough. Please be patient and open the city gate as soon as possible." , let Lei’s subordinates come in.”
"Hmph, those humans are extremely weak. I can kill a thousand of them by myself." Ao was a little dissatisfied with Prophet Evan's order and muttered a few words in a low voice.
Prophet Evan heard Ao's muttering, and he shook his head slightly. Orcs are naturally brave, but unfortunately most of them lack strategy. Ao with a thousand blood guards can definitely compete with a hundred thousand human elites, but why should he compromise his strength in vain? The loss is in unnecessary places.
"Master Hans, didn't we provide the orcs with the equipment to attack the city? Why take the risk to destroy them?" A mercenary whispered to Hans,
Hans looked at the giant trebuchet not far away, and his men, some mercenaries and soldiers with white linen tied to their arms, were pouring thick grease on these instruments that were mainly made of wood. About 200 meters away is human camp number one.
Hans used his identity to pass smoothly, but this time all the overt and secret sentries along the way were killed. Hans's actions tonight had been well planned. He used his identity as an adjutant to quietly and secretly Arrangement, dismantling the originally tight defense to pieces, even after killing General Keenst tonight, he also used Keenst's command to pass out multiple contradictory orders, and finally went to the city wall to fight with Ryan switches defense,
Originally, Lille and the others would have people guarding here, but since the orcs attacked, they have been using troops of ten thousand people to attack the city. This kind of huge trebuchet was almost useless, and then they gradually slacked off. Lille Magicians like York and others are naturally resting in a more comfortable place in Camp 2.
"I still don't understand this. We want both the empire and the orcs to suffer losses." Hans said with disdain: "The empire has the Thunder God Fortress, which is difficult for the orcs to cross, so we have to let the orcs cross it. But once the orcs have such power, With huge siege weapons, our southern territory will be seriously threatened."
"Oh, I understand." The mercenary's face was filled with admiration. He complimented Hans and said, "You are so wise, I am far inferior."
"Huh, that wasn't my idea." Hans said, "It was my master's order."
Although the mercenary looked like an ordinary hugger, it was obvious that his status was not very low. He lowered his voice and said, "Yes, our master Senat is naturally extremely great, but you are also very great, Mr. Hans." It’s rare. I have been lurking in the Thunder God Fortress for more than ten years. If the master hadn’t personally asked me to lead the team and told me all this, I would have never imagined that there are still master’s confidants here.”
"Hans has rebelled. Anyone who sees it will be killed immediately." General Clark's loud voice suddenly came from the camp in the distance. The originally silent camp immediately became filled with excitement and the lights were bright.
"What's wrong, sir, I've been discovered." The man dressed as a mercenary said nervously.
