The Troll King's City in the evening looked extraordinarily majestic in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Danamu shrank his neck, leaned against the battlements, looked at the vast land in the distance, and was in a daze.
The expeditionary force led by His Majesty Okamoto has been away for more than 20 days. I don't know if it has successfully reached the northern border.
If it hadn't been for the arrow shot in the knee, Dana wood would have joined the expedition to the south.
Compared to anxiously waiting for an unknown fate in the rear, Danamu would rather go to the front line to fight. Even if he died in battle, he would have no complaints.
For a veteran of many battles like him, it is a shame to die of old age on the bed.
Tightening his collar, the howling cold wind made Danamu's dozens of old injuries start to ache. He shook the snow on his body, dragged his handicapped right leg, and began to patrol the city.
In the heavily guarded troll king's city in the past, now there are only three or two big cats and kittens left, which is very bleak to watch.
There was an indescribable anxiety and boredom in Danam's heart, and if he caught a few recruits with bad military posture, he would be reprimanded.
After venting, Danamu felt a lot more relaxed, but then felt dull for a while.
After all, those recruits were all twelve or thirteen-year-old boys, whose thin bodies could not even hold their weapons steadily. Danamu felt that it was too much to ask them to stand guard like a regular army.
But there is no way, the trolls who can hold weapons have already gone south with His Majesty Okamoto, and today's troll king city can only find these half-sized men to stand guard.
Danamu suddenly realized that the fiascos and massacres over the years seemed to have almost wiped out the most elite generation of the troll empire...
If this desperate crusade fails, the future of the Troll Empire...
Dana was terrified, and immediately shook his head, erasing this terrifying thought from his mind.
No, the God of War will never disappoint his believers again.
In this expedition, the trolls will win!
Danam continued to comfort himself, and in a trance, he seemed to hear the sound of passionate military drums.
With the sound of drums, the army of trolls was invincible, conquering one fortified northern city after another...
"Lord Danamu, Lord Danamu!"
Danam came back to his senses, looked dissatisfied at the panicked soldiers in front of him, and reprimanded angrily:
"Why panic? What's wrong?"
The soldier pointed in the direction outside the royal city, and reported tremblingly:
"Cavalry... cavalry... cavalry is coming!"
Danam was shocked immediately, rushed to the edge of the city wall, and looked into the distance.
Although he hadn't been able to clearly see the banner of the cavalry that was approaching rapidly, he already knew that it couldn't be a friendly army—because the troll empire hadn't had such an organized wolf cavalry for a long time.
So, there is only one possibility—
Blood Cavalry!
"Enemy attack! Blow the horn!" Danamu shouted with all his strength in a hoarse voice.
woo—
The shrill horn sounded throughout the troll king's city, and the city was thrown into chaos.
These new recruits who had just been recruited and hadn't trained for a few days had long been frightened by the terrifying momentum of the overwhelming cavalry charge. At this moment, their faces were pale and their whole bodies were trembling, and they didn't know what to do.
"Close the city gate! Close the city gate! You idiots, what are you doing in a daze! Close the city gate!"
Amidst Danamu's curses, the soldiers woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly turned the huge winch to slowly raise the suspension bridge.
At this time, there were still troll civilians outside the city who hadn't had time to run back, and desperately shouted for help.
But obviously, the defenders in the city will not care about them.
When Danamu saw the city gate was closed, he limped back to the top of the city, shouting to make the soldiers bend their bows and set up arrows, ready to shoot.
At this time, the flag of the cavalry outside the city was already clearly visible, yes, it was the Blood Cavalry Army!
The last trace of luck in Danamu's heart disappeared, and at the same time, the terrifying thought that made him dare not think deeply resurfaced again irresistibly—
The expeditionary force is defeated!
Danam knew that the troll empire was over.
But he still worked hard to boost the morale of the defenders at the top of the city and help them prepare for the battle.
However, he is also very clear that this royal city should not be defended.
Don't say that the cavalry is not good at attacking the city, but that is also based on the fact that there are a large number of regular troops guarding the city.
For these young recruits right now, it's fine if they really don't pee their pants after a fight.
Whoosh whoosh!
The vanguard of the Blood Cavalry Army had already arrived at the city, and when they came up, they shot at the top of the city.
Dense arrows fell on the city tower like a rainstorm, and a large number of troll soldiers who couldn't dodge were hit by arrows one after another, screaming pitifully.
The remaining trolls hurriedly hid behind the battlements, trembling, not daring to lift their heads.
Danamu was so angry that he whipped the whip and roared angrily:
"Fool! Fight back! Fight back!"
Only then did the troll soldiers carefully draw their bows and arrows, and shot down the city.
It stands to reason that the trolls occupy a condescending position and should be able to easily suppress the shooting of the blood cavalry army, but the fact is just the opposite.
The arrows shot by these recruits who have never experienced war are sparse and weak, let alone accurate.
The Blood Cavalry Army galloped on their horses, running back and forth around the city wall, constantly looking for the outcropping troll soldiers, and then quickly shot an arrow.
Soon, the top of the city was filled with arrow clusters, fewer and fewer troll soldiers dared to fight back, and the rain of arrows shot down from the top of the city became more and more sparse.
A group of Blood Shadow Guards took advantage of this opportunity to quickly rush to the bottom of the city, and then climbed up with hands and feet.
Danamu at the top of the city also found these blood slaves, he immediately shouted and asked the soldiers to shoot at the climbing blood cavalry first, but at this time the defenders at the top of the city were completely suppressed by the arrows of the blood cavalry and dared not stand up , can't organize much counterattack force at all.
Even if sporadic arrows were shot at the climbing Blood Slaves, they couldn't have any effect on them.
There was even a blood slave with three or four arrows pierced into his skull, and continued to climb like a normal person.
The troll soldiers who saw this scene were completely scared to pee.
After these devil-like blood slaves rushed to the top of the city under the rain of arrows, the defenders collapsed almost at the moment of contact.
Blood slaves, monsters with extraordinary strength and no fatal weakness, are simply not something these troll recruits who have not received formal military training can deal with.
They rushed to the top of the city like wolves into a flock of sheep, killing wantonly.
A large number of troll recruits threw down their weapons and ran away, no matter how angry the officers roared, they couldn't stop them.
Danamu had also collapsed on the ground, a hideous bloody gash was cut on his stomach, and his internal organs flowed all over the floor.
But his gaze was still fixed on the blood cavalry soldier who had been stabbed in the heart by himself just now, as if he was waiting for the opponent to fall.
However, until Danamu lost consciousness, he failed to see the scene he expected.
boom!
The suspension bridge whose winch was destroyed suddenly smashed to the ground, communicating the inside and outside of the city.
Teams of blood cavalry rushed into the city along the suspension bridge.
