The tent was opened, and the cold air swam like a poisonous snake, so cold that people's teeth chattered, and the boots creaked against the ice beneath their feet, and the sudden cold wind lifted Tenny's hood, revealing his hard face.

The village of Laros was quiet, but there was no shortage of people, the square was filled with tents, and Tenny Pig brought all his Iron Cross troops into the remote village, where nearly 2,000 men were huddled in the snow, the army requisitioned every vacant lot, and the newly dug cellars were filled with food, weapons, and armor.

The walls and horse stakes were covered with snow, icicles were hanging down, and in the shadows of the corners of the village, many frozen corpses were hung from hemp ropes, and the swollen faces were covered with ice, and when the vanguard of the Iron Cross arrived in the village of Laros to announce that it had been requisitioned, the locals who had been close to the north fiercely resisted, and the soldiers unceremoniously stabbed all the fierce resistance to death with spears, and the others were used as slaves.

"Do your job." Tenny, who arrived later, told them, "Do well and you will be forgiven." ”

At the behest of the Iron Crossers, the slaves first set up a sturdy fortress, then an inconspicuous sentry post on the edge of the village, and finally hastily completed shelters for the soldiers. When this was all over, Tenny fulfilled his promise to forgive the slaves, but did not set them free.

A group of guards stood guard at the sentry with spears, and although they wore thick fur cloaks, they were still shrunk and shaking, and their beards were covered with ice, and when Tanlu and his lieutenant approached, the soldiers subconsciously straightened their backs.

"It's hard work, and someone will come to replace you for two more hours." Tenny looked into the sentry, patted the soldier on the shoulder, and headed for the next one.

Adjutant Hogar followed behind with a torch, and it had to be said that Tanny Pig was indeed a competent commander, he was a legendary warrior, so at the age of eighty he could still maintain the same vigor as a young man, as the supreme commander, he had to go out to patrol the sentry two or three times a night, and no one in the entire Iron Cross could remember any night in which Tanny slept more than five hours.

The wind swept the snow again, causing the torches to flicker, and Khogar felt that the snow seemed to be lighter, and looked up at the deep, dark night sky.

The flapping winged figure made a scarlet trail to cover the falling snow, one, two, three......

"Enemy attack!"

A sharp roar broke the silence of Laros, and the whole camp boiled like a hot soup under a blazing fire.

The shimmering illumination reached into the sky, illuminating the dense figures in the darkness, and the bodies of the inudemons were crowded together with each other, and the craggy scales on the surface of the bodies reflected the luster of the metal, and poured like a tide towards the village of Laros.

In the first sentry to be attacked, the soldiers seemed to have a premonition of doom, they had just adjusted the bed, and now it came in handy, under the control of the soldiers, the siege equipment fired a powerful crossbow bolt as thick as a spear, and pinned a jumping and running dog demon to the ground.

But this had little effect on the situation, and the weakness of the slow reloading of the bed was fatal in the face of the incoming enemy, and more dogs and demons pounced on the sentry, and the wooden watchtower trembled violently before collapsing.

There was a terrible scream in the cold wind, and one could imagine what a brutal slaughter was going on there.

The dragon hissed sharply in the sky, flapping its wings and launching a dive, grabbing the lone soldier with its sharp and powerful feet, flying high into the air and throwing it down, the heavy and cold armor could not protect it at all, and the soldier was shattered by the huge impact of the fall.

"Stay calm, spellcaster!" Tanny Pig drew his sword and stood in the snow yelling.

The village of Laros erupted in a dazzling firelight, and the billowing fireballs poured out, and the dog demons who came forward were swept away by the hot flames and the waves of explosions, and some of their bodies were directly ignited, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning.

The battered canines stopped attacking, turned their heads to stare in the direction of the fireball, and then let out a wolf-mooing howl, and their fierce eyes flashed with the light of finding their prey, and they all rushed in this direction.

Tenny stomped heavily in the snow, leaving deep footprints, and leaped to the side of the swarming soldiers: "Stabilize the array, prepare to block, and let these beasts taste our strength!" ”

The bow and crossbow are loaded, and the soldiers of the Iron Cross are all equipped with portable and easy-to-use hand crossbows, which themselves have limited lethality, but with the armor-piercing arrows provided by the Sun Never Setting Empire, they can have an excellent effect, the soldiers in the second row bend forward, and the soldiers in the first row kneel down on one knee with their left arm and right hand, and pull the trigger on the approaching dog demon.

The economic drain of war is tantamount to igniting a fire, and each of these armor-piercing arrows is worth a lot of money because it is not easy to manufacture, and can be sold for ten to twenty gold coins in the shady black market, and now well-trained soldiers skillfully draw arrows to load, aim and fire, each wave costs hundreds of armor-piercing arrows.

Of course, the benefits they have made are also very considerable, in the case of intensive crossbow arrow strikes, even the Blackwing Empire's dog demons are difficult to protect themselves, their scales and bodies are nailed through, leaving holes that gush blood outward, if the archer aims well enough [ www.biqudu.xyz] accurately, they can even shoot directly through the head of the canine demon, so that it can be killed on the spot.

The five rounds of fire caused hundreds of canines to fall to the ground, but also caused the enemy to rush closer.

"Draw your sword!"

Tenny roared, he was the Supreme Commander of the Iron Cross and a legendary warrior of many battles, so he should be at the head of the line and fight these beasts in close combat.

Although it is a combat unit from the Riverlands, the configuration and hard power of the Iron Cross Army are not weak, in addition to Tanny Piri, the army also has a spellcaster army composed of an archmage, five intermediate spellcasters, and more than thirty spell apprentices, they are also doing everything to resist the attack, hazy buff spells shrouded the entire array of soldiers, and one after another flames appeared under the black canopy, bursting out in the dog demons and flying dragons.

The entire village of Laros is burning.

……

In the end, at a heavy cost in casualties, the Iron Cross led by Tenny repelled the incoming enemy, which was a major mistake in the enemy's decision-making, and they should have abandoned their offensive intentions as soon as they discovered that an elite force was stationed here.

"Why?"

Kneeling in front of Tenny were the bloodied Orc Overseers, and even when the commander was captured, the Dog Demon and Wyvern did not retreat, fighting until the last drop of blood was shed.

"Why Larose? What does such a relentless attack mean to you here? Tenney asked, curious to know the strategic goals of these guys, which might affect the rest of the war.

"Whatever it takes? Hehe. Humans, do whatever you say, is this kind of soldier's level of aggression? ”

The bound Orc Overseer looked up and gave him a contemptuous look, "Stupid fellow, Laros is just a small target that is not taken seriously, and I am not leading the elite troops of the Black Wings. Tonight, all the disobedient offenders will be reckoned, and Blackwing's army will sweep through the center. ”

The Orc Overseer coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, and he didn't seem to mind saying more, and before waiting for the other to ask, he continued: "I lost, but you are not the victorious side either, and the attack is not over yet." This place will soon be swept away, and you will all be reduced to dust under the weight of the Black Wings. ”

"Disgusting brown-skinned pig." Hogar, who was standing on the side, frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but kick the orc in the head, kicking him to the ground, "The mouth is really stinky and hard. ”

The Orc Overseer fell to the ground, a sneer on his face.

"You're dying." Tanny walked up to him, crouched down, looked at the expression on the orc's face, and asked softly, "Is it worth it to give your life to that monster that twists the darkness?" ”

"To you it is a monster, but to us Emperor Caesar is the guide, the savior, the best and only king."
