As the sun gradually turned to the west and the temperature began to drop, Rody's team finally broke through the obstruction of the sporadic undead, arrived at the bottom of the Kern Mountains, and began to climb up without stopping.
There are some artificial traces at the foot of the mountain, which are obviously left by the mining team. But at this time, there were only a few supervisors left behind in these temporary camps. They looked at the team in front of them without knowing why, and before they could speak, they were taken aside by a few tall barbarian soldiers—the food and water sources in the camp Immediately told to "requisition", it was distributed almost in the blink of an eye.
"Who are you? This is Viscount Anru..."
Before he finished speaking, he closed his mouth, because the nobles around him stared at him like blades - Anru and Senna had long been classified as the number one traitors by these nobles, so these subordinates should be beaten the same label.
If possible, everyone would like to cut them into pieces.
At this time, the needle tail sand cone appeared in the field of vision again, and the news brought by Nata made people's spirits even more tense: the orc team had left Pakaro City, and after gathering more than 400 people, they were rushing towards the Kern Mountains. Come!
"According to the time, they can catch up here within an hour and a half..."
"enough."
Roddy nodded expressionlessly.
"The figures of the undead are also gathering here, because there is no organized team, I can't judge when they will arrive..."
"That's not important, you take Kodak to rest for a while, and watch around here later." Rody barely stopped, waved his hand and continued to order: "Everyone moves forward immediately! Bring food and water as much as possible, Go right now!"
The team continued to march up the mountain, this time led by Roddy. His posture is very familiar, because the mine has just been mined, and many roads are just trails that have just been explored, but Rody ignored these roads at all, and led the team to take another road on his own, and rushed to the halfway point at a faster speed. In front of a mine on the mountainside.
This is one of the several "rich thorium mines" mined by Viscount Anru. From the data displayed at the auction last night, it is the mine with the most "rich thorium" production in the entire mountain range. There is no bustling scene, but only the investigation team of Viscount Anru are busy inside and outside the mine.
"Where are the miners here?"
When Sally asked this question, the members of the investigation team looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't know why Lord Efta appeared here, and they all kept silent.
Suo Deluoer had no nonsense about this, and they quickly revealed the truth after using several methods: "Duke, Lord Duke...we don't know where they went, more than 300 people here were still working normally last night , but today everyone is missing..."
"There are no traces at the scene, only dragged footprints can be seen on the ground, as if some people were dragged into the mine."
Rody was looking down at the edge of the mine, but he was relieved when he heard the words, but the others were full of doubts, and they didn't know what it meant.
"Bring all the food here! Take as much as you can with those mine manuscripts, and leave here within five minutes!"
"leave?"
Sally looked around. The place is commanding, and the wooden fence of the temporary camp is used as protection. No matter what, it is an excellent place for defensive counterattack.
"Well, let's go now."
Rody didn't have the heart to explain to others, but he said one more thing to Sally: "Don't think that this place is safe, on the contrary... this is the most dangerous place."
After walking a few steps, Akasha happened to come over, and Rody showed a questioning look, "Are you there?"
The latter nodded tacitly. This exchange was very brief, and no one around understood the meaning.
By this time, no one in the team would doubt him. They quickly picked up the mining picks and started to climb up the route indicated by Rody.
The whole team didn't have too many people to bear the logistics, because the incident happened suddenly, and they didn't have any luggage at all. Fortunately, the food looted from the camp at this time is enough for four hundred people to barely eat, otherwise let alone "fighting" tomorrow, whether they can stand up is another matter.
The afterglow of the sun dyed the clouds in the sky golden red, but no one lamented the beauty, everyone gritted their teeth and climbed up.
The Kern Mountains have a gentle terrain, and the description of "precipitous peaks" does not apply here at all, and it is also because of this that the team can march all the way with the horses. After leaving the mine on the mountainside, the vegetation on the mountain became sparse. Because of the cold temperature this year, there are only some weeds that have just grown here, and there are not many tall trees. And after walking for 300 meters like this, people suddenly found a huge rock "platform" above the mine!
Although it is full of weeds, anyone with a little discernment can see that the terrain is unusual: its area is not large, only 200 meters square, but if you want to go up, you have to go through a 30-meter-long big uphill .
In other words, if defending on the ramp, the difference in strength between the two sides will be completely smoothed out in this local area with a width of only about seven meters.
The appearance of such a "treasure land" made the nobles feel lucky, but when the interested people looked at Luo Di, they found that there was no surprise on his face at all, as if it was just "revisiting the old place" that's all...
"Soderol, move everyone up there! Erwin, take a few people over there to cut down some trees. The ones that are about three meters long will do. I want twenty! Those who have mine picks in their hands will be left to dig trenches. You can dig as deep as you can!"
On the narrow mountain road, the teams began to be allocated in a chaotic manner. Fortunately, Soderol was born to be dispatched by the commander, and the teams that he had divided in advance were quickly arranged in an orderly manner amidst the sound of orders.
Four hundred people are not many, because the existence of two hundred war horses is a bit messy—after quickly moving to the platform, the noble private troops began to assist in handling food and building a defense line, and the bishop of the "Rosie Cross" joined the Together, Sally and Akasha properly placed the seventy wounded in the central area. At the same time, Rody led his men to clear the field and blocked the only uphill leading to the platform with a trench to prevent the direct impact of the wolf cavalry.
"They are coming!"
When the team was preparing for battle in an orderly manner, a baron who looked up at the foot of the mountain suddenly spoke.
People looked up one after another. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the fast-moving figures of the orc wolf cavalry had entered the foot of the Kern Mountains from the edge of the "Da Vinci Forest". At this time, Rody's team could see each other, and the other party naturally noticed them. . And when this was confirmed, the wolf cavalry no longer squeezed the physical strength of their mounts, but jumped off the wolf, and began to walk slowly towards the mountain.
In Godard's eyes, these humans have become possessions.
And farther away, one after another shaky figures were walking towards the foot of the mountain from all directions. These "zombies" are the lowest-level combat units among the undead, but what makes them powerful is not their own attack power, but the "corpse poison" they carry-if they are not purified in time, the bitten person will basically not be able to survive two or three years. die in hours.
These "zombies" are not scary individually, but when they appear in hundreds or thousands, they are enough to become a great threat.
"Roddy... can we really make it through?"
Sally's face was full of tiredness. She was exhausted from running around all day. At this time, she didn't even consider the eyes of the nobles around her. She stretched out her hand to hold Rody's palm, and looked at the foot of the mountain in a daze, "Four hundred wolf cavalry, Thousands of undead... I really didn't expect to be besieged by them inside the kingdom."
"There are many enemies and they are strong, but they are not invincible." Knowing that Sally was in doubt, Rody opened his arms and gently embraced her, and said softly, "Not only can we survive, but we will also counterattack and wipe them out completely." wipe out."
Sally only took it as comfort, nodded, closed her eyes and sighed in his arms.
The nobles had already forgotten to be amazed by the relationship between Roddy and Sally. They just stared blankly at the enemy who was several times their own, and waited anxiously for the next fate...
"It's getting dark."
Rody hugged Sally, and looked down at the distant city of Pacaro. The afterglow of the setting sun turned the city that was supposed to protect them into red. Looking from a distance, it seemed that the ground was covered with blood. …
Twenty minutes later, the first wave of orc attacks arrived as scheduled.
It was also thanks to Rody not throwing away his helmet and armor in order to speed up the journey. At this time, the equipment of the barbarian soldiers was still in order. They stood in three rows on the ramp with a width of seven meters, holding the stainless steel tower shields. The third reserve team, and further back are other soldiers who are taking the time to rest and replenish food.
Although the nobles were not arranged to go into battle, they were also fully armed and existed as the last batch of reserves.
Even Catherine was equipped with a short sword. Although she knew that it might be useless, she didn't mind fighting to the death when she was at the end of her rope.
"Resist the attack! They won't be a threat when it's completely dark!"
Rody stood on the saddle of the "Train King", looking down at the more than a hundred orcs rushing in front of him in a "moving turret" posture, with the horn bow slightly raised in his hand, but his gaze was the same as that of the strong orc warlord in the distance. With a brief encounter...
"It turned out to be Godard..."
His pupils shrank, and he was extremely surprised: the name "Godard" is not a small character in his memory, he is the number one general under the "King of Thousand Axes" Sauron, with outstanding strength, but he is conceited and arrogant , a ruthless character that is extremely difficult to control.
It stands to reason that the other party will only appear in the war in 593. Why did they rush into the kingdom with so many orcs at this time
The doubts in his heart have not yet been answered, the orcs in front of him have already approached within a range of 60 meters, Rody no longer thinks about it, and shoots out the arrow that has already been set up in his hand!
"Crush them! Kill them all!"
"The Sarota tribe will win!"
Even though more than ten people fell down on the way to charge, this group of high-spirited guys still rushed up on the long slope. They screamed and crossed the trench, and rushed to the barbarian soldiers in the first row with simple weapons...
