Volume 2: Academy Chapter 0190: Orcs are coming
What does 20,000 wolf cavalry mean?
There are only 20,000 defenders in the entire southern wilderness of the Arthurian kingdom, and the strongest cavalry is less than 5,000 of them, but it is enough to deter those lords who dare to rise up and disobey.
And the combat effectiveness of the wolf cavalry is almost four times that of the equivalent human cavalry, after all, their wolf also has great combat power.
That is, the actual combat effectiveness of 20,000 wolf cavalry is equivalent to 80,000 cavalry of humans.
What a terrifying number, it's really a ghost if Moonlight Town can hold it.
Of course, the purpose of their stay here is not to keep the town, but to cover the evacuation of the elderly, weak, women and children.
Renard asked the crucial question, "Will the orcs send some wolf cavalry in pursuit?"
Alice gave a clear answer: "No, if we don't eat those of us who dare to resist, they won't take a detour to slaughter the old and weak, women and children." ”
Orcs are a contradiction, they do everything they can, they are pure robbers, but they have a great sense of honor, and when facing the enemy, they often choose to attack the old, weak, sick and disabled only when they defeat the opponent head-on.
It's like two gangsters fighting, and if you don't completely defeat your people, they won't go to your field.
When the two communicated, they had already climbed the city wall with the armed team of Moonlight Town.
Obviously, there were not a few people who were drafted, and in addition to the 800 private soldiers of the Windsor family, more than eighty percent of the city walls were captured strong men and farmers, as well as a small number of mercenaries and adventurers.
Count Al Owen stood at the top of the city wall, his eyes staring into the distance, his face was particularly serious, no one would smile in the face of so many wolf cavalry.
He saw Alice and the others, and his eyes showed a complicated color.
Everyone climbed the city wall, and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of them, not far away were densely packed with orc wolf cavalry, they were neatly arranged, like a tide, obviously not stragglers, but the real warriors of the orc empire.
Alice's expression stiffened, and it took a long time to regain her strength, she looked at Count Iowen, and asked, "Aren't you prepared a way back?"
Earl Al Owen smiled bitterly: "Can I say that the foundation that the ancestors of my Windsor family have spent two hundred years building will be left behind, so that my soul will not be at peace when it returns to the eternal night." ”
He turned to look at Alice and asked, "Why didn't you leave?"
Alice shrugged her shoulders and didn't tell the other party about being stopped, after all, this should not be the other party's intention, those knights didn't know themselves, they just acted on orders.
Besides, since you choose to stay, there is no need to talk about uselessness.
Standing on the city wall, the aura of slaughter came to his face.
Within Renard's line of sight, there were orc wolf cavalry riding wolves, holding giant machetes in their hands, standing silently.
A certain word suddenly came to his mind: quiet as a virgin, moving as a frightening wave.
Before he could think any more, the rumbling war drums sounded, followed by the huge horn.
Immediately afterward, the orc wolf cavalry let out a characteristic howling sound and rushed towards Moonlight Town without fear of death.
Is the war now begining?
This is the real war, there are no messengers, no war letters, no verbal swords from both sides, and it will not even give you time to prepare for the defense.
This is the real war, brutal and bloody, and the real purpose of its existence is to destroy civilization, not to spread it.
The majestic momentum of the orc wolf cavalry charge brought a strong sense of oppression to everyone, and this was only part of the wolf cavalry charging.
Reynard roughly calculated, and the whistling wolf cavalry was only about three thousand.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, although the description of the word 'only' seemed to him to be extremely arrogant, but compared to the entire orc army, these two or three thousand wolf cavalry could really only be regarded as a tentative attack.
Perhaps in the eyes of the orcs, this small city in front of them does not need to be done by a large army at all, and only a vanguard army can raze it to the ground.
The defenders on the city wall were quite calm, although the orc army was menacing, but it still couldn't make them timid, after all, the family was behind them, and if they were timid, they would be sent under the butcher's knife of the orcs.
Seeing this, Count Iowen drew his sword, held it high and said, "Archers prepare, listen to my orders. ”
"Squeaky ......"
The sound of the bowstring tightening sounded, and the defenders on the walls all opened their bows and arrows.
Renard also took out the enchanted crossbow, loaded the blasting arrow, and aimed it at his own target.
Alice's eyes looked at him, sighed slightly, and muttered softly, "You can go, why do you want to stay and wait for death." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Renard's mouth curled playfully, looked at the other party and said, "Someone has to stay behind to break the queen, isn't it, and you are my mentor, naturally where you are, I will be there." ”
Explain your righteousness first, and then express your true emotions in your heart.
Lei Ye played people's hearts thoroughly, and even a little smug.
If it was in normal times, Alice would naturally be able to hear the ambiguity in his later sentences, isn't this what people often say: Solidarity and weal and woe, life and death go hand in hand.
When Lei Ye himself said this, his face felt a little hot, but he soon found that the other party didn't hear the deep meaning contained in the words at all.
Alice nodded with a stunned expression, and didn't think deeply, after all, her life was almost impossible to save, who could think of flirting.
Of course, except for Renard's mountain cannon, Lei Ye is thinking about accepting women all the time.
Alice took a deep breath and said, "I hope we can hold on a little longer, so that everyone can run farther and have a better chance of survival." ”
Lying in a groove, it is simply playing the piano to the cow.
Renard secretly screamed that it was a pity, he didn't expect that he risked his life to play big, and what he got was actually this result.
However, is Lei Ye a person who gives up lightly? Of course not!
He turned to Alice with burning eyes and asked, "Your Highness Alice, do you like Carlos?"
When Alice heard this name, she subconsciously frowned, she didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Why are you asking this?"
Renard smiled and shrugged, "It's nothing, I just want to know, in your heart, which of the two of us has more weight." ”
This is naked flirting, Alice can't hear it anymore, so what's the difference between being a fool?
Her expression changed slightly, her cheeks seemed to flush, and then she spit out three words: "I don't know." ”
I don't know? The smile on Lei Ye's face became brighter and brighter, and this ambiguous answer was simply excellent, which was enough to show that his status in Alice's mind was much higher than that of Carlos.
He immediately struck while the iron was hot: "If we survive this war, can you let me touch my thigh?"
