Chapter 268 Blackmail on the battlefield
After giving Shen Xiang the order, I carefully dodged the occasional flying stones and the attacks of the orcs' throwing soldiers on the city wall, while raising the telescope to observe the orcs' positions carefully. But what discouraged me was that after observing the entire orc formation, I did not find the positions of the orc leaders at all, and even did not find the places where the orcs were concentrated. This made my original plan to use the teleportation array to launch a surprise attack on the orcs' command system come to nothing.
At this moment, behind the wooden rafts outside the city wall, explosions began to sound continuously, and the explosions were even getting more and more violent. At the same time, the wooden rafts began to fall down in all directions as if they had lost their supports.
"Now is the time to kill all those Undead wizards!" After seeing the raft fall, the Undead wizards who had been hiding behind it and were lucky enough not to be killed were in chaos. Of course I would not let them go, and immediately called on the magician troops to launch an extermination attack on them.
"Damn it, sir, we can't hold on any longer... Just now, in order to eliminate those undead wizards and deal with the catapults behind the rafts, we relaxed our attack on the orc troops, and this also consumed too much of the magic power of the magicians. If this continues, we won't be able to hold on..." Before I could catch my breath, Shen Qiang, who had been assisting the city defenders in defending the city walls, rushed in front of me.
"****, what the hell..."
Looking at the orc warriors frantically climbing up the city wall along the orc skeletons and ladders, I couldn't help but curse with words that shouldn't appear in this world.
What should we do now? It seems that the ordinary warriors recruited by the Kingdom of Yann can't do much damage to the orc warriors who are climbing. Many times, they stretched out their spears to poke the orcs, but many times they would be dragged down the wall with their spears because the orcs grabbed the spear tips.
I was simply helpless with such fighting power, but what should I do? Directly dispatch the survivors to guard the city walls? But if I did that, I would have already played all my cards, while the orcs still had hundreds of thousands of elite troops.
When they charge next time, do I really want to let the 400,000 untrained civilians of the Kingdom of Yaen fight against the orcs? No, this is definitely a defeat that does not require any speculation or doubt.
"Victor, come here, you have to set up my plan immediately. We have to take a gamble this time..." Helplessly, I leaned against the wall and waved to Victor who was still casting magic.
"Is this... feasible?" After whispering in Victor's ear, Victor expressed his doubt with a strange look on his face.
"Go! We won't lose anything even if we fail. After all, we have wiped out more than 200,000 enemy troops, and there are definitely a lot of casualties. As long as we play a few more games like this... then we can crush the orcs with just numbers. Go! Complete these tasks for me, and then we should prepare for victory!" Patting Victor's shoulder, I comforted him and urged him to follow orders.
After a few minutes, I adjusted my expression and walked briskly to the large wooden box that was not moved to the city wall. I cut off the lock with a sword, and then with the help of the guards around me, I dragged out the man and woman inside.
"Listen, beasts on the other side, the old foxes from the two little fox families, let those bastards under my city retreat immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to these two little guys... The sons and daughters of the Beast King! I didn't expect that I could capture them so easily..." After letting the guards drag the son and daughter of the current Beast King to the high tower on the city wall, I shouted loudly with the amplification magic. Although I didn't have any hope that the beasts would retreat immediately after using this trick, I just needed to hit the morale of the beasts and warm up the next plan.
Sure enough, after the girl captured outside the Canglang defense line and the young man captured outside the city of Anpu were pushed out, the entire beast tribe suddenly became silent. Even the soldiers attacking the city, especially the soldiers who saw the two young fox boys and girls on the wall, seemed to have pressed the full release button from their offensive momentum to their pace of advancement, and became much more relaxed. On the contrary, the human soldiers who saw this situation would naturally not miss this opportunity and took the opportunity to slaughter them wantonly.
"What do you want? In a word, it is absolutely impossible for us to withdraw our troops! At most, we will follow your human way and exchange prisoners..." Finally, the negotiation that I expected began, and we negotiated while fighting. And of course, a battle under such circumstances would undoubtedly be absolutely beneficial to us.
"Exchange of prisoners? No need... I don't remember anyone of the same status as a prince or princess being captured by you in my Kingdom of Yan. I'll just make a few suggestions, it depends on which one you choose...
First, you must completely withdraw from our human territory and retreat beyond the Canglang defense line.
Second, you must immediately stop attacking us humans and release all humans you have captured and detained.
Third, you suspend the current attack, release all human captives, and exchange them for 1 million strong beast slaves. . . . . "
Seeing that there was a way, I immediately made a big offer and prepared for my next plan. In a word, your mother's beast king only has two children. Unless he wants to exterminate his own species, he will definitely talk to me. . . Of course, whether the negotiation is successful or not is not something I consider.
"Impossible, these conditions are absolutely impossible... The third one, I will release all the human slaves in my fox tribe, and give you 30,000 strong slaves from the beast tribe, and stop attacking your city for one day. This is the only condition I can agree to you, otherwise you will kill them. I can't agree to these conditions of yours! After all, those slaves have been distributed to various tribes, and even if I am the Beast King, I have no power to let them do this." After a moment of silence, the roar of the Beast King finally came.
"Stop attacking for one day, and then release all the humans in your tribe. As for the other beastmen, each tribe must release 30,000 young and middle-aged women and 50,000 young and middle-aged men. In addition, I want at least 200,000 beastman slaves.
Otherwise, I will chop your son to pieces with a knife immediately, and then let your daughter witness the sexual ability of human men on the tower, and let all your subordinates see the level of human beings playing with women. . . . .
It doesn't matter, I don't mind waiting... You can talk to your fellow beasts and give me an answer before dark... Now, get out of here!"
I arrogantly pinched the fox girl's cheek and threatened the beast king loudly, feeling very satisfied with the development of the situation. The beastmen's siege troops, whose morale had dropped to the lowest point and who were subjected to the strongest resistance from our magicians, could no longer tolerate the situation and began to gradually retreat.
