At the order of Commander Bacon, the soldiers operating the catapults immediately doused the various defensive equipment on the city wall with kerosene, and then threw on the torches. The raging fire quickly broke out, and the thick black Smoke floated in the sky, which seemed to be a signal. Seeing the black smoke, the human soldiers, especially the recruits who had just joined the army, hurriedly retreated back, without caring about formation or mutual cover. Although Bacon trained them briefly, it was impossible to turn them into elite troops. When the orc army attacked, it was considered very good that these recruits could withdraw with weapons instead of running around holding their heads. Not bad,
Bacon did not leave. He was still fighting on the front line at this moment. Hundreds of those holy knights led the 20,000 trained elite warriors in Bacon's legion to continue to resist the attacks of the orcs and buy some time for the recruits to withdraw, but after all The human defense manpower was reduced by most, while the orcs' offensive became more fierce. The remaining human army could not hold on for a few minutes, and was almost driven off the city wall by the orcs like sheep.
Bacon walked at the back of the team waving his sword with both hands. All the orcs who rushed forward could not stop his three moves. The blood even dyed the golden full-body armor on his body dark red. Bacon The men who were in the Royal Knights in the past also fought bravely with various weapons, fighting and retreating.
When Bacon led his men and slowly disappeared among the adjacent buildings in the imperial capital city, the orcs completely controlled the north gate of Fernando City. The beast emperor and the prophet Evan were extremely surprised. After learning the news, they even thought Humans have some conspiracy, but when the Beast King personally stepped on the city wall with his blood guards, he finally believed what was happening in front of him. Yes, the most prosperous city on the continent, the heart of the human empire, , the city of Fernando is already trembling at the feet of Beast King Andreas,
In the other three directions of the imperial capital, the heads of the three major orc clans, the Giant Snake, Black Eagle and Crazy Leopard clans, immediately learned the news that the Beast Emperor's army had broken into the city. The Beast Emperor responded to them It is also known that the three of them secretly formed an alliance to fight against themselves. In this attack on the human city of Fernando, the three clans did not rush to the battlefield as soon as possible according to the Beast King's request to put pressure on the human defenders. Instead, they took care of themselves. To plunder, the Beast King separated the three clans and ordered them to attack the three gates of the imperial capital respectively. This also prevented the three clans from suddenly joining forces to attack the Barbarian Bear clan.
Of course, the leaders of these three clans would not be stupid enough to attack with all their strength. In the Thunder God Fortress, they had no choice but to consume a large number of their combat power. Although most of them were elderly, after all, the losses were very high. Large, but the Barbarian Bear Clan suffered almost no losses in the Battle of Thunder God Fortress. Except for the inexplicable loss of nearly 10,000 people in Camp 2, it basically maintained its complete combat strength. The orcs now have an army of 500,000, which is almost the same as the Barbarian Bear Clan. There are 250,000, and they are all young and strong elite warriors. The three clans combined can only have 150,000.
Under such circumstances, the three clan leaders unanimously made up their minds, preparing to wait until the Beast Emperor and his companions stormed the imperial capital before entering to take advantage. Unexpectedly, only an hour into the battle, they received the exact news that the Beast Emperor had attacked. Entering the imperial capital, Anascista, the leader of the Mad Leopard Clan, had always been proud of his strength. Now that he saw that the Barbarian Bear Clan ended the battle within an hour and began to plunder the city, he could no longer sit still and immediately ordered an all-out attack. Order, and dispatched the most elite troops. Similar orders were quickly passed down within the Black Eagle Clan and the Giant Snake Clan. Soon, the three major clans that were originally used as a containment launched an offensive regardless of losses in the face of huge interests. ,
The human defenders conducted a symbolic defense, and then like Bacon's Legion, they burned the defensive equipment on the city wall, such as trebuchets, etc., and slowly retreated into the city.
"This is victory." Alexandra, the leader of the Black Hawk clan, stood on the city wall still smoking, looking at the prosperous city in the distance, and a strange thought came to her mind: "Humans like this, It can actually suppress us for 200 years."
One after another human armies quickly passed through the streets. Some of these were troops evacuated from the city walls, and some were soldiers mobilized from other places to garrison key areas. Many young people with childlike faces were holding a handful of With a long sword, he looked at them with envy. After all, these troops were all warriors who had received formal training. No matter in terms of momentum, mental state or weapons and equipment, they were much more majestic than these civilians who had temporarily received a simple weapon. Naturally, they were also More combative,
However, for this group of childish young people, there seems to be no fear in their hearts. On the contrary, most of them look eager to try, in the place where they have lived for more than ten years, and where they have lived for more than ten years. Together with my companions for many years, we have to deal with the orcs who have invaded our homeland. This is very similar to some exciting stories in legends. And the original enviable protagonists have now become themselves, haven't they
Queen Catherine's speech also greatly boosted their morale. If they could kill an enemy with their own hands and then be personally received by the incomparably beautiful Catherine, they might even get a shining medal to show their glorious deeds. There will probably be generous gold coin rewards. If the bards can turn their stories into poems and sing them everywhere, then many beautiful girls will definitely fall in love with me.
With infinite longing for a better future, these young people roared loudly: "For the sake of the empire, for the sake of Her Majesty Catherine, kill."
The soldiers didn't respond at all and were still rushing on their way. Only a leader-looking man turned his head and looked at this group of innocent and passionate young people. His cold eyes seemed to be looking at a group of people who had lost their lives. dead,
Looking at the retreating backs of the army, this group of young people were still talking about each other, and suddenly a hurried voice came over: "Coming, coming, those green-skinned bastards are coming."
"Why are you panicking?" A young man who was a head taller than his companions shouted disdainfully: "Aren't they just a bunch of bastards from a barbaric land? Everyone, please hide. Once we kill them all, I'll treat you to a drink. "
"Okay." Everyone cheered together, and then rushed to hide in the places they had prepared long ago.
The sound of chaotic footsteps came, and thirty orcs with their upper bodies naked rushed over. One of the orcs with feathers on their heads took the lead and rushed at the front. The upper body of this orcs with feathers on their heads was covered with a piece of clothing. The leather armor that can cover his chest has a piece of bronze inlaid on it to protect his chest. The weapon he holds in his hand is also different from others. The other orcs all hold a one-handed battle axe, but this one In the hand of the orc is a double-edged two-handed battle ax. These unique features indicate that this orc with feathers on his head is the captain of this group of orc warriors.
Not long ago, the orc captain led his men to climb up the city wall and drove the human defenders everywhere. However, no one expected that the human defenders were so vulnerable and were defeated in just an hour. , the orc captain was also worried about being ambushed by the enemy, and tried his best to restrain his men not to pursue. He just opened the city wall to let his compatriots enter the city, and simply arranged a defense to prevent the human defenders from counterattack.
But all this was in vain. Until the Beast Emperor stepped onto the city wall, he did not see the shadow of the human defenders. Under the Beast Emperor's order, the orc captain who first invaded the human imperial capital began to move towards the city with his men. Moving forward to the center of the Imperial Capital, the Barbarian Bear Clan has extremely strict military discipline and is unlikely to engage in private plunder. However, the Beast Emperor has promised to wait until he fully controls the Imperial Capital and plunder the property and slaves from this most prosperous city in mankind. Thirty percent of the total will be distributed to everyone, and those with outstanding military exploits will receive generous rewards. Therefore, the orc captain is really trying to kill a few more humans at this moment, because only the enemy's heads will be counted for military merit.
"Kill."
When these dozens of orcs walked into the ambush of the group of young people, the young man at the head roared and rushed out with his hidden companions. Although the orcs were much stronger than these young people, , and they all held sharp battle axes in their hands, but these little guys with passionate minds rushed out without fear and surrounded these orcs.
The young man in the lead let out a whistle, and the other young people moved neatly and posed in what they thought was the most perfect posture as they usually did when playing. The young man in the lead raised a long sword with one hand. The sword points forward, clearly a classic posture of a legendary dragon-slaying warrior. This is the most popular poem among the bards. The leading young man recited a certain glorious holy knight in the legendary story. Lines: "You evil guys, prepare to accept just punishment."
The orc captain looked at the group of human young people in front of him like a farce, and was amazed. However, this behavior made those human young people very excited. It seems that his momentum has indeed learned 10% from those legendary kings and heroes. Even the orcs in the wild lands were frightened by him.
"Why don't you surrender? Let the handsome and great king, the savior of thousands of girls, and the supreme hero" continue to recite the lines he heard from the bard. In this group of young people, Among them, he was the only one who could memorize the lines of more than 300 words without missing a word. Only then did he convince the other companions and become the leader.
The orc captain watched the leading human talking to himself. The orc captain couldn't understand any human language. He was too lazy to talk nonsense. He roared directly, raised the two-handed battle ax in his hand and rushed forward.
