Chapter 68: The Fall of the Fortress

"Roar !!"

The orcs erupted in cheers. On the contrary, the faces of the kingdom warriors in the southwestern fortress were gloomy and gray.

So taking advantage of this opportunity, the Red Tiger, who commanded the army, first let a thousand orcs run to garrison outside the northwest fortress, and then let two thousand people watch the army in Xiping City, and the remaining orc warriors also rushed up to launch another round of attacks on the kingdom defenders of the southwest fortress.

With more strikes and fewer blows, coupled with the fact that the combat power of the orcs is already strong, and with the matter of talent, the morale of the army has also been mobilized.

So after the battle broke out, in just twenty minutes, several orc warriors easily climbed the walls of the fortress.

Even though the kingdom warriors fought back desperately at this moment, chanting the slogan "For the true gods", they drove these orc warriors down. But it didn't take long for the mighty orc warriors to once again slay the walls.

It can be exhausted in one go, then declined, and exhausted.

Even though the comfort of the kingdom of God made many kingdom warriors not afraid of death, they even hoped that they would die on the battlefield. But as the orcs climbed the city wall again and again, their lives were threatened again and again, and their companions continued to fall one after another.

The courage in their chests naturally continued to flow away and dissipate.

Therefore, when the frenzied orc warriors climbed the walls of the fortress for the fourth time, the kingdom warriors guarding the fortress were no longer powerless to stop these terrifying enemies.

"Bang !!"

At the same time, the gates of the fortress were finally smashed open by orc warriors with battering rams, and hundreds of orcs poured into the fortress like a tidal wave.

The warriors of the kingdom in the fortress are crushed at the touch of a button. Without relying on the city walls, the warriors of the kingdom are really no match for these orc warriors.

Therefore, an hour after the fortress gate was breached, there were less than 200 surviving Kingdom warriors left in the fortress. Relying on the towers inside the fortress and the low inner walls, the last resistance was made.

"Brothers, give up. We have already failed, it is better to lay down our arms and surrender, so that at least we can survive. ”

The 200 men who survived were small in number, but the defensive line formed by the towers and the inner walls was very strong. If they blindly forced the attack, the orcs would probably pay dozens or hundreds of casualties.

The orc commander who commanded the battle decided that it was not worth it, so he asked the kingdom warriors who had surrendered in fear of death to act as lobbyists.

Therefore, at this moment, the general of the kingdom in the tower looked at the traitors who wavered their determination to sacrifice, and took out his bow and arrow, and shot one of them closer to kill at once.

"The moment you choose to rebel, the kingdom of God will have nothing to do with you. For this reason you will suffer untold pain and torment like those lowly and unbelievers!"

The kingdom general guarding the fortress roared angrily. This anger and curse reached the ears of those who betrayed, and they could not help but suffer from it.

But it is clearly stated in the doctrine of the Servant of God, "The punishment of the betrayer, who turns from the believer to the unbeliever, is the same as the punishment of the murderer and the suicide." After death, they will not be returned to the kingdom of God, and their souls will never be at peace!"

The fear of death made the Kingdom warriors who were willing to surrender to the orcs forget about it for a while.

But when all this was brought up again, the fear of being abandoned by the world suddenly broke through the psychological defense of these people.

"No, I have not rebelled against God. I just want to survive, it's not a betrayal, it's not a betrayal. ”

Shouted loudly at the top of his voice. It's like justifying yourself, and it's like comforting yourself.

But some of the betrayers still couldn't bear all this, and they had already surrendered, and they turned their heads and rushed towards the orcs with their bare hands, only to be mercilessly slaughtered by the orcs.

"Damn, why the hell is that. What the hell are these lowly slave breeds talking about!"

The orc commander could not understand, or even imagine.

For so many years, it was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing, which was incredible.

Helpless, the orc commander had no choice but to command his subordinates to launch a strong attack. One by one, the strong orc warriors rushed forward with a scream, and fought with the kingdom warriors who were eager to die.

In this way, when the sun went down, the tallest watchtower in the fortress was conquered. The warriors of the kingdom who dared to resist were all killed, and for this, the orcs also paid more than 300 casualties. Blood soaked the ground red.

This made Chihu, who was the great patriarch, feel heartbroken, because the five thousand orc warriors he brought were all the best of the tribe. Their lives are far more valuable than three or four human warriors.

"But as long as you can get more slaves and make the tribe stronger, it's worth it. ”

The casualties have already occurred, and the Red Tiger can only comfort himself with these.

But in order to vent his anger, he still had his subordinates cut off the heads of all the kingdom warriors who dared to resist, and regarded them as trophies, showing off their might to the defenders of the Northwest Fortress and Xiping City.

And this naturally had a great impact on the morale of the defenders.

The power of these orcs from afar is obviously much more terrifying than they imagined.

In just two days, there were a full thousand defenders, and the southwestern fortress, which could be said to be armed to the teeth, fell. Looking at it this way, the northwest fortress, which also has a thousand defenders, is afraid that it will not last long.

"We have to find a way to delay as long as possible, or we won't be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive!"

In the evening, at another council in Xiping City. Ye Li, the general of the kingdom who commanded the army, was in a heavy mood and did not have the slightest relief from yesterday.

But compared to him, others are not too reckless. Even the trusted Templar captain was silent at the moment, not knowing what to say.

"It can't be helped. Now, we have to arm all the people in the city who can afford to carry weapons, men and women. The Kingdom General Ye Li glanced around, and had no choice but to continue on his own.

But when he heard his words, the city lord of Xiping City on the side suddenly cried and said, "Even if we want to arm all the residents, we don't have so many weapons."

Otherwise, let's run away. Prepare now, open the east gate of the city and let the residents escape with us. That might be ......."

"Shut up, it's impossible!"

This time, without waiting for the Kingdom General to say anything, the border witch, who had always been taciturn, suddenly slapped the table and angrily interrupted the city lord's words.

It's just that the geographical location of Xiping City is too important. If this place is abandoned, the orcs will be able to drive straight into the war, dragging most of Xihe into the flames of war. This must not be allowed.
