The ranged weapons of both orcs and humans were intimidating each other, and the orc armies also came into range of human archers, and human archers raised their bows and arrows and threw them into the sky. A dense rain of arrows rained down from the sky, and the orcs braved the rain of arrows with crude shields to move on.

Only a few unlucky people are shot by bows and arrows, but for orcs, the damage of bows and arrows is not high, unless it is a critical hit, and ordinary arrows have limited damage. Some of the orcs who had been shot with bows and arrows pulled their arrows out, ignoring the wounds, and with a roar of rage, the charge was faster.

The orcs braved the rain of arrows to rush to the city wall, and then set up a ladder to start attacking the city, the rolling wood and stones on the city wall kept falling, this weight of the stone touched the bones and tendons, even the orc's physique could not bear it, although the casualties were not small, but the orcs did not flinch at all, roaring and rushing up the ladder.

From the very beginning, the war became very fierce, and a fierce battle broke out between orcs and humans on the top of the city, and an orc just killed a human soldier, and the next second he was stabbed in the heart by a human next to him.

Thousands of soldiers on the battlefield are just numbers, which are consumables, the main generals of both sides look at the battlefield with expressions, some shamans begin to cast spells, and the same is true of the wizards on the city walls, in addition to the wizards, there are also some temple sacrifices in priests' robes.

One spell after another was cast, the elements on the battlefield surged, and various elemental energies such as thunder, ice, and flames continued to erupt, but on the whole, the casters on the human side had the advantage.

The offensive and defensive battle of Kalente City was in full swing, and Suren finally began to move, and the army of more than 5,000 people in Zhenbei City, plus the Harpy, began to approach the Blackstone Fortress.

"What are you talking about? Blackstone Fortress doesn't have an established orc army stationed?" Su Lun was a little surprised to hear the scout's words.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Blackstone Fortress does not have an army of formed orcs, only a small number of orcs. ”

"What are the orcs going to do? Don't they want to go back to the North?" Su Lun muttered to himself.

"Forget it, it's none of my business if the orcs don't go back. Boulder, you lead someone to take down the Blackstone Fortress for me, and don't let any of those orcs go. ”

"Yes, head!" the boulder touched his smooth head, then grinned and left with a group of savages.

There are not many orcs left in the Blackstone Fortress, only about a hundred people, in the face of the barbarian raid, these orcs have no power to fight back at all, the only orc warrior was cut in half by a boulder and an axe as soon as the battle began, and Suren easily occupied the Blackstone Fortress.

"It's no wonder that orcs can easily attack from behind the Blackstone Fortress, which is basically undefended. Su Lun looked at the city wall in front of him, which was only three or four meters high, with no lookouts, no arrow towers, and no arrow stacks.

It is completely different from the wall on the front of the Blackstone Fortress, which is more than 20 meters high. The people who built the Blackstone Fortress didn't think about the defense behind the fortress at all, after all, the rear was human territory, and the orcs took advantage of this weakness this time and easily occupied the Blackstone Fortress, which caused them heavy casualties.

"This fortress cannot be held at all if the enemy attacks from the south. Su Lun shook his head, and at the same time gave up his plan to occupy this place, it is true that if he occupies this place, the back road of the orc army will be cut off, but at that time, Zhenbei City will have to be tough with tens of thousands of orcs, there is no benefit in winning, and all the accumulation of this year will be wasted if he loses, he will not do this kind of loss-making business.

"Ayton, have you found a place where the orcs are holding human slaves?" Suren asked, that's right, his current target is the human slaves captured by the orcs, the northern provinces have been invaded by the orcs, and even the cities have been breached, and a large number of humans who have not escaped have been captured as slaves.

The orcs capture human slaves in order to let them farm, and now there are at least tens of thousands of human slaves in the hands of the orcs, so many human slaves are too covetous to Su Lun, he has spent money to buy and forced immigrants this year, and the population of Zhenbei City has not exceeded 30,000, if this wave can rescue these human slaves from the orcs, the population of Zhenbei City is likely to exceed 100,000.

As for your statement that these humans were originally free people, subjects of other lords, and when the time comes, those noble lords will ask Suren for it. I'm sorry, but this is the human slave I rescued from the orcs, and where are your people?

What do you do to the serfs in the northern part of my town when you go to the people who have been taken captive?

The total population of the Kingdom of Florence is about five million, of which three million are distributed in the south, and the northern provinces have a population of less than two million. If Zhenbei City reaches 100,000 people, even if it is a principality, it is enough to qualify.

"Your Excellency, the orcs have held their captive human slaves in several camps. The nearest is close to Wintercity, with about fifteen thousand people numbered, and two thousand orcs in charge of guarding it. Ayton recounted the information he had gathered.

"We've also mapped a few other places, so please take a look..."

Suren reached out and took a sheepskin scroll, opened it, and there was a simple map drawn on it, the Nafir Mountains, the Blackstone Fortress, and several cities in the Northland provinces, which city was breached, and how many orcs were still in that city, and the place where the orcs held human slaves was also marked on it.

"Good job!" Suren closed the map and patted Ayton on the shoulder, as the first drow elf to pledge allegiance to him, Suren still took a fancy to him.

Because Su Lun's purpose is to capture the population of the orcs, and when the time comes, the population will be transported to the north of the town, the Black Stone Fortress is the only way, and Su Lun needs to leave a lot of people to guard here, and now the battle between humans and orcs is fierce, and no one on either side can draw out manpower, which is a godsend for Su Lun.

Winter City, since it was captured by the orc army, the orcs drove out all the humans here, and all the people who refused to leave were beheaded, even if several days passed, the city was still filled with the smell of blood, and the orcs did not station many soldiers here, it can be said that the city with a population of more than 20,000 people had become an empty city.

Outside of Wintercity, in a rudimentary camp, a large number of humans are toiling under the whips of orcs. They are crafting weapons and armor for the armies of orcs on the front lines. After the defeat of Winter City, the orcs obtained a large amount of supplies, which naturally had to be put to use.

Suren repaired the Blackstone Fortress, leaving behind five hundred soldiers, and waited until it was dark to march to Winter City.

An army of 2,000 orcs is not a soft persimmon, and even if Zhenbei City can win, it will pay a lot of casualties, so his plan is to sneak attack, defeat these orcs in the shortest possible time, and then snatch those human slaves away.

His strategic purpose this time was not to kill as many orcs as he wanted, but to rob a large number of people.

The army of Zhenbei City, under the leadership of the scout, took advantage of the night to advance rapidly, and when it was one o'clock in the morning, the army came to the periphery of the orc camp, and the orc camp at this time was not too guarded, and the blackstone fortress was breached, and the cities in the northland provinces did not dare to leave the city at all.

This also made the orcs relax their vigilance, they could never have imagined that when the orc army was marching all the way, someone would actually come to fight the attention of the orc camp.

"Your Excellency, no sentry has been found. Ayton bent over and touched Suren next to him.

"Then let's get started!" Su Lun nodded and ordered directly.

Ayton then led more than twenty drow elves into the darkness, these drow elves were proficient in reconnaissance, assassination, and sneak attacks, and under the cover of night, easily touched the entrance to the orc camp.

At this time, the two orc soldiers were yawning and sentry, and in the shadows behind them, two figures suddenly appeared, and then the figures flashed, a dagger with a flickering cold light smeared at the orc's throat, and the other hand instantly covered the orc's mouth.

Blood burst out, the eyes of the two orcs widened, and their bodies struggled even more violently to break free, but as the blood flowed out, the trachea broke, and the strength of the two orcs struggled weaker and weaker, and after a few breaths, they fell into a dead silence.

Suren waited outside the camp for a while, and soon the rudimentary gate of the camp was opened, and the two drow elves took torches and spun around in the air three times, and after seeing the signal, Suren ordered the army of the northern city of Zhenbei to attack.

The army in Zhenbei City quickly entered the camp, and such a big movement could no longer be hidden.

"Enemy attack!"

A roar spread throughout the camp, a large number of orcs rushed out of the tent, and when they saw the orcs appear, the soldiers in Zhenbei City lined up in this battle formation and rushed up directly, and the archers behind also began to release arrows continuously. Because they were defenseless, the orcs had no shield at all, and a large number of orcs were shot by bows and arrows for a while, compared to human bows and arrows, the bows and arrows of half-elves and centaurs were extremely powerful, and as soon as they came into contact, these orcs paid a heavy price.

The pikemen in front saw that the orcs had suffered heavy losses, and directly arranged into a battle formation and began to advance, facing the spear phalanx in Zhenbei City, the orcs roared and rushed up, but they were blocked by raising a shield, and then they were directly stabbed by several spears, and the sound of wings being afraid to fight suddenly came from the sky, and before these orcs could react, a large number of stones fell from the sky.

The orcs, who were already lacking protection, were directly smashed on the head and broke the blood flow, and in serious cases, their brains burst out. An orc who was supposed to be a commander roared loudly to organize an army, and the surrounding orcs gathered towards him, and at that moment, a fireball the size of a basin fell from the sky and hit the orc commander.

The explosion sounded, orange flames splattered, and the orc in the middle of the explosion was directly blown out.
