Chapter 221: The Sudden Change in Fetanburg

In fact, in Fitandilla's eyes, the green-skinned boss of the stone is also a monster.

Not to mention his words and deeds all along, he did not look at all like an orc who was known for his rudeness and brainlessness, and even spoke Nehekhara, so I won't mention this, let's just say that in the past two days, he still looked weak and powerless at first, but he didn't see what to do, and suddenly became alive.

Fitandila even accidentally caught a glimpse of the criss-crossing wounds in his shattered black armor that had healed so badly, Allah! It's only been a few days? This resilience is simply scarier than the ugly trolls at the back of the group.

Just when the orc lord and the human female knight sighed to each other in their hearts that each other did not follow the usual path, at the end of the mountain road ahead, a dark shadow faintly appeared, and it was finally coming.

………

Walking back to this familiar mountain road with the boys, the mood of the stone is different from when it came.

Three years ago, the tribe killed a group of beastmen from the "Raven Fathers" on this narrow mountain path, and the giant hammer buried in the ground with the kicking teeth was the trophy obtained by killing the leader of the minotaur at that time.

It was also by virtue of that battle that the territory absorbed more than 300 orcs, including Simu, and ushered in a period of rapid development, and the stone itself evolved from a goblin to an orc in one fell swoop, which is definitely a blessed place for the Broken Claw Tribe.

There wasn't much time for him to miss the past, and as the troops got closer and closer to "Fetenburg", the wolf riders who were opening the way ahead seemed to notice something unusual, and a black hurricane blew, and Hawkeye appeared at the side of the chariot riding his giant black wolf, bringing news of the front for the stone, as well as ...... A human shrimp.

"Chief, something is wrong, I see that the gate is open, and there seems to be chaos inside, and ...... There was the sound of fighting, and the shrimp was running out, so I grabbed one and came back. ”

The sharp-eyed goblin scout told what he had discovered, and threw the captured humans in front of the boss.

Shi frowned after hearing this, what's the matter, why is Fetanburg not at peace?

Although Fitandila on the side couldn't understand what Hawkeye said, she could tell from his and the stone's expressions that something must have happened ahead, and she immediately turned her attention to the human in front of her.

This is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, forty or fifty years old, dressed as a typical businessman, should not be very rich, after being thrown directly from the wolf's back by Hawkeye, his face was full of horror, and he rolled on the ground for a long time and did not get up.

He can't be blamed either, any normal person who is suddenly caught by a goblin wolf rider and thrown into the middle of thousands of greenskins will be as scared as he is.

Just when Laurie thought he was going to die, and only prayed for a happy death, a female voice sounded in his ears, although the tone was obviously anxious, but to him, it sounded like the natural sound of the "goddess of abundance" Leia.

"Are you a merchant from Fetamburg? What's going on? Is there something going on in the city? ”

Laurie quickly looked up, and sure enough, he saw the figure of a human woman, and it was still somewhat familiar.

"You...... Is it Lord Fitandila?! Is that you? You're finally back! ”

As a small merchant who has been living in Fetanburg for more than 20 years, Laurie has worked hard for most of his life, has a small shop in the east of the city, specializing in purchasing some hunters' furs and herbs, and naturally has also dealt with the city guards who specialize in maintaining law and order in the city, and has also seen their commander Lord Fitandila from afar a few times, but in his identity, he is not qualified to know the righteous daughter of this city lord, but he is very impressed.

I believe that any ordinary human will never forget this heroic young female knight who will always wipe her silver armor spotlessly.

It's just that today this adult seems to be a little embarrassed, the iconic armor on his body is full of stains, not to mention, even the noble and beautiful face is covered with blood and mud, and he doesn't have the slightest appearance of his usual demeanor, and he almost didn't recognize it.

"It's me, what the hell is going on in the city!"

Fitandila suppressed the uneasiness and irritability in her heart and asked again.

After seeing her, Laurie was also full of wonders, why the commander of the city guard was with so many greenskins, and it seemed that the relationship was still normal.

As a businessman without any background, he was able to start from scratch and have his own place in Fetamburg, relying on his excellent eyesight and a mouth that would not talk casually, so even if his heart was full of question marks, he did not show it, but honestly said everything he knew.

It turned out that not long after Fitandila and Egrim left with sixty cavalry, Fetanburg's old rival, the great city of "Valleca Hills" in the west, "Zareis", was directly attacked by the city lord Levarian.

As the most populous and militarily powerful town in the vicinity, Zareth has long coveted the fortress founded by the descendants of the Arabic people, both for its strategic location and for its thriving commercial activity.

So in recent years, it has been on the move, and it has not been less stumbling on Fetanburg, starting from the earliest "chivalrous war" of the Bretonnian nobles, deliberately driving the greenskins to the rabid dog pass, and then to the recent establishment of the "Northern Border Alliance", isolating Fetanburg, there are their shadows behind it.

At the beginning of the year, Matthew Hafficris, the "White Fox", was instigated by Egrem to contact the bandits of the Rabid Dog Trail and send troops out of the city to "Thunder Bluff" to see if there was anything cheap to pick up, and then Zareth almost took advantage of the situation.

Fortunately, Matthew reined in the precipice and did not directly clash with the Broken Claw tribe, and led his troops back to the city in time, which drove them away and escaped.

However, I didn't expect that after only a few months, Levarien's army made a comeback, and this time it was obviously well prepared, and when it came up, it surrounded the gates of Fetanburg, as if it was going to fight a protracted battle.

Matthew initially sent emissaries to the camp to ask for an explanation, only to be told that they were in collusion with the Greenskins, and that Zareth had come to destroy them as human traitors on behalf of the Northern Frontier Alliance.

This is naturally just an excuse to provoke a war, although Matthew does have a connection with the Broken Claw Tribe, but firstly, the other party has no evidence, and secondly, the grievances between the two sides have long been well known, and it is obvious that they want to take the opportunity to swallow Fetanburg.

The battle soon began, and although the Fetanburg troops were outnumbered and the commander Fitandila was not there, they had a geographical advantage, and the morale and training of the army were not too difficult to defend, and even Matthew believed that as long as they held out for a while, the opponent would naturally retreat.

It's just that I didn't expect that just two days ago, the situation changed abruptly.

The city's magnate Egrem, the Light Mage, suddenly appeared, and it is said that he first seriously wounded Matthew at the Lord's Mansion, and then opened the city gates, allowing Zareth's army to easily enter the city.

The unsuspecting city guards suffered heavy losses and retreated, but at this time, a part of the mercenary group stepped forward to help the defenders attack the enemy, and now it has evolved into a street battle centered on the city lord's mansion.

By this time the city was in disarray, and the rest of the city had fallen into the hands of Zareth's army, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the fall of Fetanburg was only a matter of time.

Some of the well-informed merchants had already begun to contact Levarian, the lord of Zareth City, the new owner of Fetanburg, while some small merchants, like Laurie, chose to take refuge for the time being, and he was ready to flee to the familiar hunter's house in the nearby mountains, but he did not expect to be caught by the goblins as soon as he left the city.
