woo—
The ear-piercing sound of horns resounded through the night sky, as if awakening the sleeping Winter Spring in an instant.
Knight Widow brandished his long sword like crazy, screaming and ordering the soldiers at the top of the city to shoot arrows down the city.
But these arrows didn't seem to pose any threat to the orcs at all, and they were still climbing up the city wall at an extremely fast speed.
Winter Spring Town is not a strong fortress, but a small barony. The city wall is only five or six meters high, let alone any obstacles in front of the tall orcs.
In the blink of an eye, the first orc rushed to the top of the city, roared and waved the mace in his hand, and hit the head of a guarding soldier—
puff!
The whole head burst open like a watermelon.
The Granto family is not a prominent family, not to mention that the most elite army in the territory has already been sent to the frontline battlefield, and the only ones remaining at this time are some reserve troops.
It is said to be a reserve force, but in fact they are just part-time farmers, and they may not spend as long with a sword as with a hoe every day.
Facing the ferocious orcs at this time, whoever has the guts to fight and stand firm without running away can be called a warrior.
They thought that after the Battle of the Loire Valley, they would no longer have to worry about the invasion of the orcs, but who would have thought that the orcs would appear in Winterspring Town!
Is it because of this that the captain of the defense, Vito Knight, patrolled uncharacteristically
In fact, Victor Knight is also full of muddleheaded at this time.
He never expected that the "big event" that Master Benson mentioned was the invasion of orcs!
Asking him to block the orcs, this is too much to think of himself.
Knight Vito knew that even the largest city in the Western Territory—Wind's Rest, under the strong attack of the orc army, it only lasted for less than half a day.
How could such a small place as Winter Springs survive
Vito Knight was fighting with his legs, ready to flee.
But immediately, he noticed that there were not many orcs invading.
Don't look at their aggressiveness, but the total number is only about four or five hundred, and the garrison in Dongquan Town has nearly two thousand people.
Moreover, in the team that escorted the body of Emperor Reinhardt back to Yulong City, there were also a thousand extra guards—these were all the regular army of the empire, and they were the real elite who had been baptized in the battle of the Loire Valley!
What's more, there is also a paladin accompanying him—Prince Lexie, so what are these orcs!
Victor Knight calmed down, secretly cheered himself up, and then shouted loudly:
"Don't run! You are not allowed to run! Behind you are your relatives and friends, and your homeland. How can you run away!
Only a small group of orc troops invaded, not many in number, let's fight them!
kill! "
Inspired by Knight Vito, many human soldiers finally mustered up their courage and rushed up, trying to drive the orcs who had climbed up to the top of the wall.
This wave of charges finally looked decent.
But in the next second, the cruel reality taught these overwhelmed defenders a tragic lesson.
The human soldiers who rushed in front of the orcs couldn't even catch the enemy's casual blow.
Regardless of the fact that humans have a numerical advantage, even if it is three-on-one, five-on-one, or even ten-on-one, they are no match for orcs at all.
The garrison faced the orcs, just like sheep facing hungry wolves, they had no ability to resist.
Almost at the moment of contact, the human offensive was completely disintegrated.
The blood splattered and the flying stumps made the entire battlefield quiet for a while, and the human soldiers who reacted immediately ran around like crazy.
Not an opponent at all.
Knight Victor roared hoarsely, but he still couldn't stop the defenders from collapsing.
In desperation, he even drew his sword and chopped off two deserters, but to no avail.
In fact, he was also terrified at the moment.
Because judging from the situation of the fight just started, although the number of orc troops rushing up is not large, their strength is extremely astonishing.
Even if ordinary orc soldiers are naturally stronger than ordinary human soldiers, it is impossible for them to be so much stronger!
This crushing advantage made Victor Knight realize—
This orc army is actually composed of skull crushers!
What a fart!
Such a battle under such disparity in strength was doomed from the very beginning.
Seeing that the general situation was over, Knight Victor could only spread his legs and ran to the castle in the center of the town in a panic.
"The orcs are coming! The orcs are coming in!"
Chaos began to spread into the town, with cries, wailing, and roaring.
Just when the people of Dongquan Town were preparing to meet the orcs' attack, they were shocked to find that these orcs just ran across the street and headed straight for the castle of the Grantu family.
The residents of Winter Spring Town, who escaped with their lives, looked at the back of the orc and couldn't help wondering—
When did the brutal and bloodthirsty orcs actually commit no crimes against civilians
Of course, more residents rushed out of the town taking advantage of the opportunity of the orcs attacking the castle.
In an instant, the entire Dongquan town was in chaos.
…
"Orcs? How did orcs appear in Winterspring? How many of them are there?"
In the knight's hall of the castle, Benson Grant questioned Knight Victor for a while.
The eldest son of the Baron Grant was also in a panic at this time. The garrison completely collapsed at the moment of the battle. Such a cruel reality almost made him lose the confidence to fight. With people around, Knight Benson is probably ready to abandon the city and flee.
"Master, I don't know how the orcs appeared in Winterspring Town." Vito Knight said pitifully, "However, there are not many of them, about four or five hundred, and they should be just a team from the front line. A small group of troops fled to the rear..."
"Four to five hundred?" Knight Benson frowned, and immediately cursed angrily, "There are only such a small number of orcs, and they invaded Winter Spring Town in less than ten minutes? Are you all pigs!"
"Okay. Now is not the time for accountability. It is better to resolve the current crisis first." Consul Fred said.
Knight Benson immediately turned his head, put on a flattering smile, and said:
"Master Fred, please immediately mobilize the royal guards to help the Granto family repel the orcs outside."
Consul Fred did not respond directly to Knight Benson's request, but turned to the attendant around him and asked:
"Blood Cavalry... Is the battle over?"
"Not yet." The attendant shook his head, seeing Fred frowned, he asked in a low voice, "Sir, do you want them to stop attacking first?"
"No, let them continue." Consul Fred said indifferently, then turned to the Duke of St. Landers and Earl Nicole, and said, "You two, I also hope that you can send guards to help the Grant family fight back guilty orc."
"It should be." The Duke of St. Landers and Earl Nicole responded immediately.
Finally, Consul Fred said to Prince Leahy:
"Your Highness, we will continue with the original plan.
Next, it's up to you. "
Prince Lexi nodded silently, turned around and walked out without saying anything.
