Tonight seemed to pass very slowly, Renard woke up seven or eight times, and every time he woke his eyes, he thought it was light, but when he looked out the window, he realized that it was still late at night.

At three o'clock in the morning, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he got up and left the bedroom and walked towards the city wall.

In order to prevent the orcs from attacking at night, Count Iowen arranged for more than 200 people to keep vigil, but when he came to the city wall, he found that there were far more than 200 people here.

Renard couldn't help but shake his head, it seemed that there were many people who couldn't sleep at night like him tonight.

Nothing happened all night, the orcs did not attack, and neither did they leave.

Reynard stood quietly on the city walls, watching the night before dawn while waiting for the dawn to come.

At six o'clock in the morning, the gold-trimmed sun peeked out from the eastern land, the dark shadows of the night gradually dissolved, the earth regained its colorful colors, the green waves of the steppe once again covered the broken battlefield, and the armor and swords reflected the magnificent light.

On the city wall, the original silence was broken by singing, and someone sang beautiful verses in praise of the rising sun in a hoarse voice.

Soon, the orc wolf cavalry also moved, and with their rude steps, they trampled the grass garden to the ground, and they kept approaching, approaching, and approaching.

Countless young men ran aimlessly and told each other: "The orcs are attacking, the orcs are attacking." ”

In this way, the brutal offensive and defensive battles were launched again under the constant persecution of the orc army.

Renard had never experienced such a terrible battle, dying all the time, facing the threat of death all the time, and the enemies seemed endless and could never be killed.

He slammed his sword to the ground and breathed in the turbid air so hard that his lungs felt as if they were about to burst.

There was no clean place on his body anymore, it was all congealed blood, and standing here, he could hear the howling of the wolf cavalry under the city, who were destroying everywhere, setting fire everywhere, and slashing the defenders who fell below the city.

Before Renard's breathing was even, two claws came up from the city wall next to him, his expression was slightly solemn, and then he sneered, and directly drew his sword and slashed it.

"Woooo

Renard slashed down the two orcs that had climbed up again, and then raised his head to look at the distant horizon.

As far as the eye can see, there are enemies.

Orcs are like foul-smelling mold that grows in dark and damp places, dense and inextricable.

He couldn't help but look up to the sky and shout, "Am I going to die here?

Soon the same voice was heard elsewhere, as if taking an oath.

The two sides fought from early morning to noon, rested for half an hour, and then fought from noon until late at night.

In the early hours of the morning, the battle ended.

Moonlight Town still hasn't fallen, it's like a nail, nailed in the path of the orc army.

Renard looked at the retreating orcs, threw his two-handed sword on the ground, and asked the soldier next to him, "How many people are there in our team?"

The soldier looked around, and then smiled bitterly: "Counting me, there are only two of them?"

Two people? Renard looked behind him, there were eight people lying on the ground, none of them could breathe, and even their bodies were already stiff.

The ten of them were the squad responsible for guarding this section of the city wall, with Renard as the captain, and this soldier with the strength of a mid-level martial artist was the vice-captain.

The other party used to be just an ordinary soldier, but now the Windsor family's private army is almost gone, so an ordinary soldier like him can also lead the young man to defend the city as a captain.

However, their luck was really bad, and the two of them had already become commanders of the light pole in less than half a day after taking office.

Half an hour later, a sergeant with a tired expression came up and asked, "How many people are left in your team?"

Renard looked at his vice-captain, then pointed to the neat team members lying on the ground at the same time, and said, "Except for our two captains and vice-captains, everyone else is here." ”

When the sergeant heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he immediately let out a desperate sigh: "This is the case with almost every group, I am afraid that our losses today have exceeded three thousand." ”

Renard was suddenly taken aback by the number: "So many?"

"Is it much?" the sergeant shook his head helplessly: "Actually, it's not much, the enemy's purpose is not to destroy us, otherwise this city would have fallen yesterday." ”

Renard frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

As soon as he asked this, he instantly understood: "Are they using us as bait?"

The sergeant showed a teachable expression: "That's right, I guess I want to catch that big fish in Golden Silk Willow City, I'm sure that these 20,000 wolf cavalry are just the tip of the iceberg of the orc army, and more orcs are lurking around Golden Silk Willow City, ready to eliminate the reinforcements coming from there." ”

"Shhh

When the two were communicating, another sergeant came in the distance, the other party was quite old, looking to be in his fifties, he was the head of the sergeants, Sergeant Major Temple.

The other party came to Renard and gave a non-standard military salute, anyway, they were the private army of the Windsor family, and they didn't care about etiquette.

After saluting, Sergeant Major Temple said in a deep voice, "Sir, thank you for your selfless dedication to the inhabitants of Moonlight Town, we have been defending here for more than thirty-six hours, and the people should have been far enough away. ”

Renard nodded, but didn't answer, waiting for the next step.

Sergeant Major Temple took a deep breath and said, "So Count Al Owen decided that two hours later, at two o'clock in the morning, we would break through and retreat in the direction of Russell City. ”

"Retreat, how is it possible?" Raynal shook his head slightly when he heard this: "With the reaction speed of the wolf cavalry of the orcs, they can almost wipe out us in ten minutes. ”

Sergeant Major Temple shrugged, "That's right, so someone has to be used as bait to get attention." ”

"It can't be us, can it?" asked Renard with an unkind face.

"How could it be. Sergeant Major Temple hurriedly shook his head, and then said with a calm expression: "Earl Al Owen and the eighty-three warriors of the Windsor family will be used as bait to cover your evacuation, including me." ”

"What?" Alice, who had just walked here, showed an expression of disbelief when she heard this: "Isn't that for nothing?"

Renard looked at Sergeant Major Temple with some admiration: "You also serve as bait?"

"Of course. Sergeant Major Temple looked extremely indifferent: "I am already old, and it is an honor to die in this land where I was born and raised." ”

After speaking, he looked at the young sergeant next to him: "You should also prepare well, I think Count Iowen has already conveyed the order, when the time comes, you can set off together, run as far as you can, we will try to buy time." ”
