Chapter 54: Daily paddling
The news of the siege of Petersburg by the trousers and the Li soon reached the royal city of Monti.
This time the situation is likely to be even more dire than ever, and the Pope and the King immediately issued a new decree announcing the adjustment of the country to a state of first-class alert.
The whole country prepares for war, and the whole people participate in the war!
This means that from now on, the knights of the five main cities will automatically form a coalition army, with the city lord of Gladstone as the commander in charge of the national military power.
The Knights of the Kingdom of Monty will no longer be under the orders of their own city lords, but will be unified at the disposal of Gladstone.
This is a rule that has been passed down for hundreds of years, no approval, no need to pass the rules, it takes effect automatically after the outbreak of war, and even the king and the pope have no right to change it.
Surplus weapons in the main cities were also open to the public, and civilians and slaves were allowed to fight if necessary.
Despite the wolf smoke rising all around, the city was still a scene of singing and dancing, and Carol hugged left and right, busy drinking and having fun, completely ignoring the situation outside.
The Astrological City is different from the other four main cities, it is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the front is a moat cliff, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Several of the main peaks in the vicinity, all with a large number of sentry posts and forts, were firmly in Carol's hands.
Even if the war between the two races started in full swing, Carol would still be able to rely on natural danger to stand by and ensure that nothing went wrong, even if it was an army of hundreds of thousands of orcs, it would be difficult to break through the layers of defense in the Astrological City.
"Beauty, don't let me catch you, if you catch you, you want you to look good. ”
Carol is blindfolded and plays a game with a group of dancers.
"City Lord, don't make trouble, let's have a drink. The dancer lay down in Carol's arms, took her glass, and fed him a drink.
While they were playing, a group of heavily armed knights kicked open the door and forced their way in, driving all the dancers out of the palace.
"Milo, against you, dare to disturb me Yaxing?" Carroll took off her blindfold and glared at Milo with some displeasure.
Milo is the guardian of the Astral City, managing the Knights in the city, second only to Carol.
"The city lord, the king, and the pope have issued a decree declaring the state of state of first-class alert......"
"Mind my! Let them fight, we don't need to stir up this troubled water, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits of the fishermen, understand?" Before Milo could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Carroll.
It's none of his business, hanging high, fighting this kind of thing, costing people and money, Carol is not willing to lose all the money he has accumulated for many years.
"Lord Carol, please don't forget that once the war begins, all the Knights in the city will automatically be under the management of Gladstone.
I have just received an order, and Commander Gladstone has ordered us in the Planet City to immediately send 20,000 knights to build a defensive line on the border between the Hengduan Mountains and the Plains, and cut off communication between the orcs. ”
Milo held his sword and walked slowly to Carol, "Please give me the power of the city so that I can complete the orders of the commander of Gladstone." ”
"Why? Why should my hard-trained knights be under the command of Gladstone?" Carroll visibly reluctant.
Although Carroll was afraid of Gladstone, that didn't mean he had to do his bidding.
What's more, Petersburg is now unable to protect itself, how can Gladstone have the energy to command the coalition forces?
"The military power is just a status symbol, even if you don't hand it over, the knights of the Astrological City are willing to obey the command of Gladstone, the war is coming, the Monty Kingdom is in danger, and there are eggs under the nest? ”
After leaving such a sentence, General Milo left in style, led 20,000 knights of his cronies, and went straight to the outside of the city, wanting to build a defensive line according to Gladstone's orders.
But what he didn't expect was that the commanding heights bordering the Hengduan Mountains and the coastal plains had long been occupied by Greenland, the Frost Witch.
Milo pounced, was consumed by the orc arrow array at a long distance, and on the way back, he encountered the orc army led by Chen Feng, lost his troops, and was forced to retreat to the Star City.
"City Lord, please open the city gates. Milo shouted from below, but Carol was unmoved.
"Milo, Gladstone asked you to go to the Hengduan Mountains to build a defensive line, and then you ran back?Why are there only so many of the 20,000 knights left? The city lord now suspects you of temporary rebellion, so let your knights lay down their weapons and obediently be questioned outside the city gates. ”
"Carol City Lord, I'll tell you about this later, the orc legion is about to launch a general attack, they have infiltrated the territory of the Astrological City, and have fought with their subordinates, and several sentry posts near the main peak may have been secretly pulled out. ”
If you don't prepare, the entire Astrological City will be doomed!"
Mylo explained, "Even if you want to cure my sins, I'm willing to take it alone, please let my knights enter the city and fend off the orcs with you." ”
"General Milo, you are alarmist, my Star City is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and it is always supported by natural dangers, and behind it is the main city of Monty, and the orcs will not dare to attack easily. ”
As soon as Carol finished speaking, the orc legion appeared in view.
It is dense, and it is difficult to see the beginning and the tail, like the main force of the orc race.
"It's too late, open the city gates!"
"Can't open it, block the gates, don't let the orcs enter the city. Carol was stunned and trembled, "Didn't you say that the main army of orcs was in Petersburg to deal with Gladstone?
"Brothers, follow me to meet the enemy and fight to the death!"
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Milo drew his sword, led more than 10,000 remnants, and attacked the orc formation without hesitation.
The sound of fighting resounded throughout the world!
But with only half a burnt of incense, all 20,000 knights died outside the Star City.
The difference in the hard power of the two sides is too great, and the knight's sword can't pierce the armor of the orc at all, but the orc's weapon can easily smash the knight into a meatloaf.
Moreover, the wind arrows imitated by the orcs, both in range and power, far surpassed the golden feather arrows equipped by the knights.
With just one round of wind arrows, the Knights were almost completely wiped out, and they lost their combat effectiveness in an instant.
"This ...... How is this possible? Hurry up and ask for help from the royal city of Monty!" Carol paced back and forth on the tower, at a loss, he had never thought that orcs would be so strong?
After Chen Feng besieged the Star City, he only besieged but did not attack, and used wind arrows to deter Carol every day.
The Pants Clan's wind arrows can easily pierce the buildings inside the city, causing damage to those inside, and Carol is so frightened that he hides in a hole in the ground all day, for fear that he will be shot by random arrows if he shows his head.
Greenland is responsible for cutting off the reinforcements from the Sunflame Tower, ensuring that the Planet City is left alone.
"Paddle every day, survive for two months, get the antidote and leave. "Chen Feng didn't want to kill the human race, and the arrow array was also shooting indiscriminately.
He told the Tatar leader that the Astral City was protected by natural dangers, and the losses from the attack were too great, so they could only besiege it, and when it ran out of ammunition and food, he would send heavy troops to capture it in one fell swoop.
