The hilltop fortress in the morning is still full of vigor and vitality just like in the past.
Baron Kane is taking two Moonfall wolves to build a wolf den in the tower.
Catherine, the captain of the soldiers, directed the soldiers to place the training dummy just made in the inner court.
Knight Marcus, on the other hand, was training as a knight in the inner court alone.
As for the only mage, Sitz is also studying a new first-order spell in the meditation room.
At the same time, on the west side of Shanjiao Fort, a major event happened in Muchat Territory.
The orc army in the south suddenly rushed out of the forest and attacked their territory.
The Muchat Legion guarding this place was beaten back by the orcs. Fortunately, the lord Viscount Muchat led people to support, which improved the decline of the legion.
But because of this, the two sides stalemate together, watching more and more orc soldiers behind.
Viscount Muchat had no choice but to order all the citizens to retreat to the castle, and then retreated to the castle with the legion to defend.
The same happened to another noble in the south, the Earl of Sardis.
His territory was also attacked by orcs, but unlike Viscount Muchat, Earl Sardis's army had stronger troops and dozens of supernatural beings.
Therefore, although they have also fallen into a stalemate with the orcs, the balance of victory can be seen tilting towards them, and it is only a matter of time before they defeat the orcs.
At the time when Kane and the others held the hilltop fort, nothing happened as usual, and the two nobles were leading their subordinates to fight hard, so they were unable to pass on the news of the attack.
On the hilltop fort at noon, the scorching sun shone on the patrolling soldiers, making their vision slightly blurred.
In the bushes on the far border, there was a sound, which alerted the soldiers who were aware of the situation.
But immediately, seeing an elk walking out, he relaxed his vigilance and let go of the tight bow and arrow.
In the afternoon, the sun shines brightly.
The setting sun reflects on the interior of the castle, adding a color to it.
There was another sound in the bushes in the distance. The patrolling soldiers thought it was caused by another animal and didn't care.
He looked up at the bright red sunset, missed the days in his hometown, and recalled his mother's delicious meals.
At this moment, a group of tall creatures rushed out of the forest and rushed towards the mountain fort.
The soldier, who was in a daze for a while, realized that something was wrong, hurriedly rang the alarm bell beside him, and shouted loudly: "The orcs are coming."
All the patrolling soldiers on the city wall rushed to the direction of the bell.
The patrol captain asked eagerly: "Ladis, what's going on?"
"Captain, the orcs are here, just below."
"What!?"
Just when the patrol captain was surprised, the orcs below had already set up a siege engine and pushed it towards the hill fort.
"Damn! All are there, rockets are ready."
"Otim, go and inform the adults."
"Yes, Captain."
In desperation, the patrol captain ordered all soldiers to counterattack, intending to delay the opponent's offensive.
Eight green-skinned orcs were divided into two sides, pushing the siege vehicle forward step by step.
In front of them, there are dozens of huge, two-meter-tall, muscular bears holding giant shields to block the incoming rockets for them.
A mere dozen or so rockets could not stop their actions at all.
Behind the orc army, there was a sauropod riding a black unicorn, giving orders.
"Let's attack! Warriors of the empire, go and take back our territory!"
"Roar!!!"
All the orcs roared excitedly, responding to the commander's words.
A large group of orcs flocked to Hillpoint Castle in a dark mass. They consisted of bear goblins, hobgoblins, gnolls, ogres, and strong green orcs.
The patrol captain on the city wall looked at the orc army below, feeling his scalp tingling.
Can the strength of oneself and others compete with the opponent
Fortunately, Kane and the other four transcendents finally came to the city wall.
The soldiers seemed to have found their backbone, and they cheered up again.
Looking at the orc's siege engine below, Kane understood the orc's intentions. It was obvious that the opposing commander wanted a quick victory.
Otherwise, Kane and the others could be exhausted with their strength.
Immediately, Kane ordered to Sitz beside him: "Sit, I have to trouble you to cast the spell of the fire element. The bear goblins on the other side are not afraid of rockets at all. We need to hold back their siege vehicles."
Sitz nodded and said, "Yes, my lord."
Then, he chanted from the side, and a large number of flames gathered in his chest.
However, Kane looked at Catherine again.
He ordered: "Order all the archers to come to the city wall immediately, and get ready at the same time, and the boulder will be used for delivery."
"Yes, my lord." Catherine turned and went to execute.
"boom!!"
A violent explosion sounded from behind Kane.
He turned around and saw that it was Sitz's fire spell that hit the bear goblin below.
The powerful impact directly knocked the giant shields in their hands away, and the goblin bear holding the giant shield was also blasted by the fireball, fell to the ground, and burst into flames.
Kane agreed: "Well done!"
"Thank you for your compliment, my lord."
After thanking, Sitz continued to chant.
Kane also turned around and took away the two bows and arrows on the side, and handed one of them to Marcus.
He said: "Concentrate the spiritual source on the arrow, shoot with all your strength, and be sure to block the attack of the orc siege vehicles."
"I understand, my lord." Marcus replied after taking the bow and arrow from Kane.
The sharp arrows in the hands of the two were like continuous crossbows, constantly shooting from their hands.
A large number of orc pushers were shot by sharp arrows and gradually fell down.
Seeing that the siege vehicle on his side was blocked by Kane and others, the commander of the orcs, the lizard man, couldn't sit still.
It whispered new instructions in the ear of its lieutenant.
Soon, several orcs exuding extraordinary aura came out.
Some of them hold bows and arrows, and some hold staffs.
Fight back at the position of Kane and others.
In an instant, several sharp arrows with spiritual sources or spells with icy breath appeared in the sky, attacking Kane and others.
Observe carefully, Kane, who was fighting below, immediately yelled at someone.
"Get down!"
"puff!"
"boom!"
Marcus and others who reacted quickly escaped the offensive of sharp arrows and spells.
Sitz, who was casting a spell, was pulled aside by the rushing Catherine.
Only one unlucky archer, who didn't pay attention, was shot with a broken arm by the orc's spiritual arrow.
"ah"
Fortunately, he still had a sliver of sanity, and quickly lowered his head, clutching his severed arm in pain.
