Witch Lin was under a lot of pressure right now, because she knew very well what the terrible consequences would be if Xiping City fell.

So she didn't dare to slack off at all. Immediately after sending off the messenger asking for help, she convened a military council to discuss a way to hold out for ten days under siege by an army of fifty thousand orcs.

It's just that because the disparity in strength is too large, whether it is the guards present or Zhu Xiao. None of them came up with anything that seemed to work.

So much so that in the end, without waiting for Wu Lin to ask questions, Xilian, who was the marshal of the kingdom, stood up and said: "I think we should immediately shrink our forces now and transfer all the defenders of the two fortresses in the northwest and southwest back to Xiping City." We only have 10,000 people right now, and we can't do it all. It's better to gather all your forces in one place.

After so many years of renovation and maintenance, the city defense of Xiping City is the strongest in the entire kingdom. There are urn cities, horse noodles, sheep and horse cities, and moats. Relying on these sturdy city defense structures, it should be able to hold on!"

"Okay, just do as you say!"

The witch Lin, who was able to humbly accept advice, immediately followed Xilian's advice. Therefore, it only took less than half a day's work, and the defenders of the two fortresses in the northwest and southwest were withdrawn cleanly.

Then came martial law throughout the city, and all streets were completely cordoned off. Just in case, even the daily necessities of urban residents will be distributed uniformly. lest someone take advantage of the chaos to hoard supplies.

In this regard, the situation in Xiping City did not cause any chaos. After all, it had been less than ten years since Xiping City was captured by the Red Tiger last time, and they all remembered that disaster deeply.

Therefore, the inhabitants are very obedient at this time, and there are thousands of adult males who want to take the initiative to join the army at this time to defend their homes against the orcs.

For these people, Xilian, who is the marshal of the kingdom, does not refuse to come. Because the city's treasury had hoarded a large number of weapons and armor, he wished he could have more men.

However, these people are not regular troops after all, and even if they have received a certain amount of military training during these years, their combat effectiveness is very ordinary. Not even as good as the warriors of the kingdom, let alone the crazy orcs.

Therefore, for these residents who took the initiative to join the army, Xilian incorporated them into the second echelon. I don't expect them to kill many orcs in the next big battle, as long as they can do some auxiliary work.

Then, by noon the next day, the 5,000 vanguard of the orcs arrived. It's just that because of the last loss and then the destruction of the Fire Blade Tribe, these orcs stopped ten miles outside the city, and they didn't dare to approach.

However, seeing this, Mamoru as the leader of the Templars couldn't help but light up in his eyes.

"Ma'am, you see, this time the orcs are much less courageous than the last time. You asked me to take a hundred elite warriors out of the city, and I rubbed the sharp spirit of these orcs for you. ”

"Okay, let's go. We're here to cheer you on in town!"

Witch Lin couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard Shou's words. She understands Mamoru's personality and knows that Mamoru is not a flamboyant person. Now that Shou has said so, he must be sure. So I agreed immediately.

The gates were opened, and the defenders took the lead with a hundred elite Templars and went straight to the orc army as the vanguard.

"Be careful, humans are coming!"

With the addition of guards, there are only one hundred and one people who rushed out of the city. But seeing this, the five thousand elders of the Jiandun tribe hurriedly showed the weapon in his hand and shouted the alarm at the top of his voice.

"Oh, that's it for a hundred. If there are a thousand people out of the city, shouldn't these orcs just turn around and run away!"

Keep your heart happy. Originally, he thought that it would be difficult to resist the army of orcs with the existing strength of Xiping City alone. But now, I feel a lot more sure in my heart.

However, with such a huge disparity in strength, Shou naturally would not rush forward stupidly. Instead, he stopped when the two armies were still two miles apart, and then he rode alone towards the orcs.

"Come, !! War"

Mamoru hasn't been able to learn much orc language so far, but he still knows a few simple and practical words. In fact, even if he doesn't understand orc language at all, it can be seen that he looks like this at this time, and orcs know what he came for.

It's just that the orc five thousand long looked around at this time, but found that the tribal warriors on the left and right were all empty and avoided his sight at this time.

This made the five thousand elders of the Solid Shield Tribe furious, "Can't we find a brave warrior in the Solid Shield Tribe!?"

"I'm coming!"

Although the method of agitation is simple, it is better than practical. Right now, with the roar of the bald five-thousand-thousand-long man, a tall and strong orc warrior really rode out. At this point, there could be no help but a cry in the orc army.

But the orc warrior who rode out on his horse was not a nameless person, but a centurion known as a brave man in the Strongshield tribe. His name is Huen, which means majestic in orc language.

And right now, this orc warrior is really human. The height of the whole person is two meters four, and the weight is more than 300 catties. Wearing armor and holding an iron axe, it looks like a humanoid tank at a glance.

Therefore, the wildebeest he rode under his crotch was also extraordinarily majestic, and looked like a wild bull. Therefore, many of the warriors of the Stronghold Shield tribe knew his name, "Huen, this is a guy who can compete with the Cyclops!"

One of the commanders said this to his superior, the leader of the 5,000 captains. So the five thousand long faces were happy, and he also looked at this majestic warrior who was nearly a head taller than himself and said: "As long as you kill this damned slave species, I will report to the king to ask for merit for you, so that you can be promoted from the current centurion to five hundred long, okay!?"

"Ha, then you can look at me!"

Confidently answered, Huen urged the wildebeest under his crotch like a wild bull, and went straight to the leader of the Templar who was standing there alone.

Then I saw the two of them clenching their weapons and charging each other, "poof~"

However, at the first time, the hot and smelly neck blood rose to the sky. But with just one move, Shou cut off the head of this strong orc warrior.

Then I saw the headless corpse of the big man Huen lying on the body of his crotch mount, and then he was brought back to the battle by the spiritual wildebeest. When the orc warriors on the left and right saw this, they couldn't help but change color in shock.

"Come, !! War"

"Mighty !!"

The cheers were accompanied by a shout from Shou, and he challenged the orcs again on his own riding alone. But this time, the orc warriors all changed color when they heard the sound, and none of them dared to take the lead.
