With Nuno and Raff retreating, the orcs, who were originally a little chaotic under the impact of the Red Flame Knights, quickly returned to order, showing what the orc elite should be.

And Hardmen immediately rushed towards the periphery with the knights after discovering that the orc siege force had retreated, and Hardmen was not stupid, a little observation, he could also see the power of the two earth-level soldiers on the head of the city, and if two earth-level powerhouses joined the encirclement and suppression with the orc elite, he was not confident that he could retreat as before.

However, although Hadmen rushed towards the periphery, it was not too far away, but led the knights to cruise around, and the slippery state made the orc side of the siege quite uncomfortable.

…

"Bang!"

After retreating from the city wall, Nuno, who was already a little short-tempered, smashed the giant axe in his hand to the ground, this siege, not only did not destroy the city as he expected, but let the humans drive down the tower, but also lost a lot of soldiers,

In addition to the orc warriors who died during the siege, there were also many killed by the charging Red Flame Knights, and a rough estimate showed that at least more than two hundred orc warriors had lost their ability to fight, and now Nuno's total strength was less than eight hundred.

"Legionnaire, what should we do next?"

The orcs suffered a lot of casualties this time, and there were still many wounded soldiers in the camp wailing in pain at this time, and the city was not taken, and their morale inevitably suffered some blows, but fortunately, their will to fight was quite firm, and they had no intention of retreating.

When Adjutant Raff asked, he wanted Raff to have an idea, whether to continue to attack the city under pressure, or to simply bypass this difficult city.

"Let the teams go to the surrounding human villages to find some food first, and if we don't replenish the food, we will have to run out of food in two days."

Although Nuno was angry at this time, but his brain was not burned by anger, they came from the orc kingdom all the way to the Northland, and the food they brought was not much, and the supplies along the way mainly had to rely on the snow giants, according to Nuno's idea, taking this small city could not only be used as a stronghold connected to the Iron Wood Forest, but also solve the problem of eating for their own vanguard troops.

But the difficulty of Tiemu City was completely beyond Nuno's expectations, not only did it not take it as easily as imagined, but also continued to stand after causing a lot of casualties to the orc army, and now the small but very strong cavalry roamed around the periphery, which made Nuno even more afraid, and he was no longer so confident that he could quickly take Tiemu City, so it must also be on the agenda to grab food in the villages around Tiemu City.

"But what about the Knights?"

After listening to Nuno's arrangement, Raff seemed to think of something, and expressed his doubts with some hesitation.

The Red Flame Knights, a cavalry composed entirely of knightly knights and tall red horses, made Raff a little jealous, and if they divided their troops to levy food, they were likely to be attacked by their kicks.

"It's okay, they shouldn't dare, as long as we don't continue to attack the city, they won't take the initiative to attack us."

"The team that goes out to collect food is a hundred-person team, and at most half of it will leave each time, and each team must confirm each other's position, I will change my armor and personally lead the team, and you will just sit here."

"Yes, Legionnaire."

Raff also understood what Nuno meant after hearing it a little, only two people on the human side of the city could form a certain containment on Nuno, and one of them was seriously injured by Nuno, and if he did not recuperate for a period of time, he was afraid that it would be difficult to exert his due strength in a short period of time, and he would not be a threat in a short period of time.

Nuno led the team out to collect food and capture some prisoners, if the Red Flame Knights did not move, if the Red Flame Knights dared to attack directly like before, then Nuno was very confident that they would leave most of them behind.

…

"The orcs are coming, the orcs are coming!"

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

An unknown small village outside Ironwood City, this originally peaceful village unfortunately became one of the targets of the orcs to collect food, because the orcs came quite suddenly, and the Hunter family did not have time to do anything to clear the wall, and the villagers and supplies of many villages around Ironwood City had time to transfer.

Of course, compared with other villages, in addition to supplies and villagers, the villages under the Hunter family still have a certain ability to resist, after all, there are also paramilitary forces such as peasants and soldiers who have received a certain amount of military training.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The sheriff in the village is relatively capable, and he is also brave and promising, and when Tiemu City was attacked, he gathered the peasant soldiers and arranged for the villagers to retreat, and at this time, in order to cover the villagers who had not completely evacuated, he led dozens of peasant soldiers to make the final delay at the entrance of the village.

Unfortunately, even the regular army of Ironwood City used to issue standard longbows, which were difficult to deal with heavy armor targets such as orc warriors, and had to rely on composite crossbows such as the Kick Crossbow and the Bear Hunting Crossbow to deal damage, not to mention the hunting bows of different quality in the hands of these peasant soldiers.

The accuracy of the arrows is not bad, after all, the distance is not far, most of these arrows fell in the orc pile dozens of steps away, but the damage is not at all, this kind of powerful arrows in the orc elite wearing heavy armor can't even break the defense, if it weren't for the arrows that go to the door, the orc warriors don't even bother to block it.

"Spear, spearman ready!"

"Kill!"

"Bang!"

Dozens of peasant soldiers and dozens of orc warriors, it seems that the number is comparable, but the combat effectiveness is very different, even the most elite dragon breath defenders of mankind, when fighting with the orcs, they must have four or five times the numerical advantage to barely fight, in the case of equal numbers, the individual advantage of the orcs is too great,

The moment the two sides collided, it was a one-sided battle, the giant axe of the orc warrior could easily kill a peasant soldier, most of these peasant soldiers only had a leather armor, which could stop the axe of the orc warrior, even if it was a captain in cloth armor, he couldn't support it more, the giant axe was a blunt weapon in a sense, in addition to being heavier, it was definitely higher than the sword and spear in terms of lethality.

"Ahh Run! ”

After less than a minute of contact, more than half of the peasant soldiers in the village were lost and quickly fled, after all, they were facing a group of orc elites comparable to the peak quasi-knights, including orc warriors equivalent to human knights, which was something that a group of peasant soldiers could resist, and after the death of the captain with high prestige, the remaining group of peasant soldiers who had been frightened quickly collapsed.

"Phew"

"Where's the food?"

"Push the grain out!"

"Bang!"

"Ahh

Most of the villagers who didn't have time to flee were intercepted in the village by this group of orcs, the so-called grain collection is just a nice saying, in the enemy territory, most of the food will be accompanied by burning and looting, this kind of thing is not uncommon among the same kind, not to mention the two races that are difficult to separate, humans and orcs.

After the peasant soldiers resisted, the villagers were gathered together by the orcs, the brutal orcs are no more merciful than the ogre, and they almost kill the villagers at every turn, the only good thing is that the orcs are a civilized race, and generally do not eat another intelligent creature...
