Chapter 255: The beast is under the city

While Akram and Annabella are engaged in a "fight to the death" with the Cyclops, Ruby City blows the horn of war, and the orc army arrives. ◇↓

The first to arrive was the wolf rider with the strongest running ability in the orc army, and the one-and-a-half-height wolf galloped outside Ruby City under the control of the rider, and they divided into more than a dozen groups to run towards the other towns of Ruby Territory. Ruby City is a well-known fortified city on the mainland, which cannot be broken by lightly armed wolf riders, and his mission is to raid Ruby Territory villages and towns to provide food for the army that arrives later. And they didn't know that their actions had long been known to the Grand Duke of Ruby, and they were destined not to gain much in the face of the empty Ruby Principality.

War had come, and the soldiers of Ruby City rushed to the walls, and the civilians of the city spontaneously carried arrows, logs, stones, and oil for the defenders. There was no retreat within the closed walls, and the notoriety of the orcs made everyone have no illusions about surrender, and if the city was breached, no one would survive.

The griffin knights began to rise frequently, and the main forces of the orc army were clearly grasped by Archduke Edward. An army of 100,000 orcs is not something that only 10,000 Terran soldiers can defeat in the wild. Archduke Edward decisively gave up his plan to give the orcs a little color outside the city, "Ruby City will defend with all its might, and wait for reinforcements to arrive." ”

Two days later, the main force of the orc army arrived under Ruby City.

Dark green skin, an ugly face with two long fangs sticking obliquely upwards from the corners of the mouth. Although the orc race has its own civilized intelligent race, they naturally like to loot and do not have much creative power, and most of the weapons and protective equipment used are looted, with a variety of swords, guns, swords, halberds. The arrangement of the military formations is not as rigorous and elaborate as the Terrans, let alone the dwarven army that is like one with thousands of people.

The strength of orcs comes from their physique, and their height of more than two meters and sturdy ** make every orc a powerful warrior. When these 100,000 orcs came to the Ruby City, their noisy voices rushed up the city wall first, and the violent aura made every human standing on the city wall swallow a deep spit, and couldn't help but secretly worry about what was about to happen to them.

"Our morale is declining, and something must be done to cheer up our fighters, otherwise we won't hold out until reinforcements arrive." When an earl saw a soldier's weapon fall to the ground in fright, he expressed his concern for the battle, "Isn't it for our magicians on the mage tower to carry out a magical attack on the orc army?" ”

Archduke Edward, who was standing on the tower, looked back at the mage tower hidden behind the city walls and said, "This will be a great battle that none of us have ever experienced, we should not waste the mana of our magicians at will, and the orc shamans have not yet appeared, our magicians should be used against them." ”

Archduke Edward was not prepared to reveal his magicians prematurely, but in the face of the constant provocations of the orc army, he had no better way but to order some loud soldiers to go to the city walls to give verbal encouragement to his own warriors.

The panic was finally contained a little bit, but the orc's provocation came out with a new trick.

An extremely strong orc stepped out of the orc army on a wolf, a well-struck broadsword and a well-fitting suit of armor indicating that he was supposed to be an orc leader. It also turned out that when he raised his broadsword above his head, the entire orc army roared together.

The orc stepped forward to insult the Grand Duke of Ruby, greeting all the relatives of the Grand Duke with the dirtiest words.

Archduke Edward, as the lord of a principality, has never been scolded like this, but he is forced, and his troops have no chance of winning a field battle with the orcs when they go out of the city. In addition to increasing casualties and losses, the limited number of defenders will also greatly affect the morale of soldiers.

The Grand Duke refused his subordinates' invitation to fight, and held back his anger to prevent anyone from leaving the city.

Seeing that the ruby gates showed no sign of opening, the orcs let out the most contemptuous sneer together. Then the orc leader waved his hand, and more than a dozen Terran civilians were escorted in front of him.

These men were caught by the orcs before they could escape, their clothes ragged and covered in undried blood. Threatened by the orcs, they wept and shouted for Archduke Edward, begging him to save them from the orcs.

The orc leader laughed at the Terrans trembling at his feet, and then drove the wolf forward. The wolf pounced on a man's head and ate it on the man's corpse.

"It's too cruel," Yue Qian, who was standing on the city wall and saw this qiē, couldn't help but close her eyes: "We have the ability to end this war, why don't we do it?" ”

"Why should we end this war," Ling Xiao snorted lightly, "From a scientific point of view, whether it is the human race or the orcs on this planet, you have no genetic relationship with you, and you can't favor the human race here because they look like you, and you can't discriminate against the orcs because their actions don't meet your moral standards." Theologically speaking, you mortals have also come from this period, and we look at your war as if we were watching two groups of ants fight, it's all so ridiculous. But we never interfere in your fighting, and even if mortals commit massacres in the name of God, we will turn a blind eye, because we gods don't know what cause and effect will affect our own cultivation if we intervene rashly. ”

"Although you have a lot of point, I still feel very uncomfortable."

"Since it's uncomfortable, let's go and beat up the orcs."

"But you just said ......"

Ling Xiao said disdainfully: "What I said earlier is the consistent code of conduct of our immortals, but do you remember what I said before?" When we immortals want to do something that violates the code of conduct, we just need to find a reason. Now that we are making a movie, the Terrans are obviously righteous and the orcs are the villains, and as the protagonists of this drama, we must be on the side of the Terrans. At this time, the orcs are very arrogant, and it is the time for the protagonist to show his majesty. And didn't you notice that the current situation is very similar to the fighting generals in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Today, let's see how my brother Xiaoyao is under the ruby city, defeating 100,000 orcs to achieve a generation of prestige. ”

“…… Shameless immortals. ”

Just when Ling Xiao was about to ask Archduke Edward for battle, the Grand Duke finally couldn't withstand the demoralization blow of the orc leader's brutal Terran civilians, and looked at the soldiers who were about to collapse, and he sent one of his strongest knights.

The gates of Ruby City opened, and a group of cavalry walked out, surrounded by a knight in silver full armor.
