"I've heard that there are a lot of monsters, and there are ogres. "Lu En was a little nervous, after all, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.www.biquge.info

"So what? You stay on the wall, and you are afraid that they will jump up and bite you, ah, and when the time comes, you will stand by my side and make sure you are okay. Soram wanted to sleep a little at this moment, so he casually perfunctory him.

"Really?" Lu Ran was glad that Soram could say this, although he didn't know if it was true or not, but it was good to have such a comfort.

"Again, is there any good thing for me to lie to you?" Solam rolled over to make himself sleep more comfortably.

"Thank you so much."

"It's good to know, now, you just shut up for me, I'm going to sleep."

――――――――

Sleeping until the middle of the night, suddenly feeling someone shouting, Soram quickly climbed up, as soon as he got out of the arrow tower, he saw many people on the city wall looking outside, Soram casually grabbed a person passing by him, and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"The monsters are coming." The man dropped a word and ran away, and Solam hurried back to the tower to find that the sleepers had gotten up.

"Attention, the monsters are coming." So saying, he took a bow and crossbow, and ran to the edge of the wall.

Lun and Fia also ran over, and Soram stood behind the battlements and looked down, only to see a large group of dark shadows rushing towards the wall not far from the wall.

"Archer prepare!" Just as Soram and the others were stupidly watching the group of dark shadows approaching, Cruise's voice came, and it seemed that Cruise was resting on this section of the wall tonight.

Hearing this, Soram quickly wound his bow and raised it, as did Lun and Fia.

At this time, Solam saw the true face of the group of dark shadows, most of them were goblins, and some gnolls appeared from time to time, but he didn't see the shadow of the ogre.

When there were about 5 or 60 meters left in the walls of these strange physical walls, Cruise shouted, "Launch!" ”

Solam heard a "bang" sound, and hundreds of arrows were shot out almost simultaneously, and the monsters that were running in front immediately fell into one.

However, this death did not seem to frighten the goblins, and more goblins continued to rush forward with their companions in front of them.

"Put!" There was another rain of arrows, and after less than half a minute, there was another "put!" ”

After three showers of arrows, those monsters still rushed under the city wall, and at this time, Cruise's order was to let everyone shoot freely, and at this time the monsters were under the city wall, and then the salvo was actually not very useful.

Solam is strangely dead, these monsters don't have brains anymore, they won't be so reckless, they don't have any siege equipment, what's the use of rushing under the city walls? Storming the gates?

The city gate has been blocked for a long time, and because Rock Town is rich in all kinds of minerals, the city gate is all steel poured, and it is hard to die, just because these monsters are all dead here, they can't open the city gate.

However, that didn't stop Soram from shooting these monsters to his heart's content. Especially after that, Harris joins with newly recruited militiamen, causing the monsters to suffer more casualties.

These monsters don't have any long-range weapons, only a few gnolls have some inferior bows and arrows, it can be said that on the city wall, it is extremely safe, the monsters are basically beaten and can't fight back, and now these recruits come up, it is the best time, both to exercise their courage, and there will be no loss.

After almost half an hour, the monsters, which had already fallen hundreds of corpses, finally began to retreat, but the disgusting thing was that when these monsters retreated, they did not forget to bring those corpses back.

Of course, this is not a monster that cares about comradeship, they are bringing the corpses of their comrades back as food.

When it was dawn, the people counted the monsters under the city wall, and found less than a hundred corpses, and the rest of the corpses were brought back.

And Locketown's side didn't suffer much damage, only a dozen unlucky people were injured by the inferior bows and arrows of those monsters, and the most serious ones were only blinded by the shooting.

"What are these monsters doing, they dare to attack the city when they don't have anything?" Solam leaned back on the battlements, holding a jug of wine and said to Harris.

Harris was originally training militia in the city, until last night, when Cruise found that those monsters were not a threat, so he ordered Harris to bring new recruits to come and help, and when the battle was over, Harris ran over and chatted with Solam and them.

"Haha, what's so bad about that? It would have been easier for us if all these monsters had come and died like this. Harris snatched Solam's flask and poured himself a sip. Last night, he had to keep yelling, those recruits were always making mistakes when they went to war for the first time, and he had to be around to remind them desperately, because his voice was hoarse.

"This is not normal, the ogre tribe is not the same as those wild monsters, they have a heritage, generally those tribes will have some crafts, such as forging, such as building, and some tribes will also keep some animals in captivity or something, but what about these monsters? If you want nothing, you will rush over with two shoulders and a head. ”

Solam wondered what the hell these monsters thought.

"Last night there were all goblins and gnolls, and there were no ogres at all, maybe they wanted to consume us first?" Harris thought for a moment, and thought that the ogre should be reluctant to give these slaves equipment to do this.

"Even if it's a slave, it's okay to get a few ladders, that thing doesn't have any technical content, just find a few trees. Are they consuming us? I suspect they're ready to consume slaves. ”

"Consuming slaves?" At this time, Cruise didn't know where to hit it, and suddenly interjected.

"Lord Cruise." Harris saw his immediate boss and hurriedly saluted, while Soram sat on the battlements and didn't move at all, and he was not Cruise's subordinate, so he didn't need to be so polite.

"Well, Solam, tell me what you think." Cruise replied casually to Harris and then asked.

"Thoughts? I don't have any ideas, I can only say that these guys, it is estimated that it is food, let those slaves come up and consume a wave first, and then they will eat those corpses to satisfy their hunger. Soram looked at the obvious lack of corpses on the ground and said casually.

"Hmm...... It's quite possible. Cruise groaned, feeling that Solam's guess was still very reliable. If that's the case, we might be able to take it easy, anyway, without siege engines, these monsters will be killed even if they come, and when the time comes, let alone us, even children can easily kill them. ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, this group of monsters is full, and they're going to move seriously." Solam isn't as optimistic as Cruise, and who knows what these monsters will do when they're well fed and drunk. ”

"Then you can only take one step at a time."

*****

Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, when those monsters attacked the city again, they had prepared a lot of shoddy siege equipment, which were actually just ladders, but Locke Town was close to the forest, and there were many materials, and these ladders were still very long.

After a few showers of arrows, a vast number of monsters carried long ladders to the city wall, which were just about the same length as the height of the city wall, and those monsters could climb up to the city wall with a single jump.

At this time, the battle was much more intense, and those monsters rushed to the city head desperately under the urging of the ogre's side, although there were bows and arrows, fire oil and other city defense weapons, but they still could not prevent these monsters from climbing the city wall.

Those goblins are okay, as long as ordinary people can calm down, these goblins are not difficult to deal with, but those gnolls are difficult to deal with.

Jackals are hyena-like humanoids, with adult gnolls standing about 7 and a half feet (2.25 meters) tall, weighing about 300 pounds (135 kilograms), and having the same head as a coyote. Their skin is greenish-gray or black-green and dark-gray in color, with a darker color near the snout. Most gnolls have a dirty, dark yellow or grayish-red mane.

They are ferocious by nature and have a sharp movement, which makes it quite difficult for ordinary militia to deal with them. In particular, after climbing the city walls, these guys did not expand the gains at all, but instead ate the defeated soldiers on the spot.

These guys love to eat their prey raw and like to listen to the screams of their prey before they die. This scared the hell out of many recruits, many of whom had seen a gnoll from afar, and many of whom had never even seen such a monster.

When this kind of bloody picture happened in front of them really and clearly, many people were overwhelmed with fright.

Originally, those monsters didn't rush to expand the results, but ran to eat, and this was the best time to fight back. But there are too many rookies on the human side, many people are frightened, and they don't fight back at all, and some people actually turn around and run, and the human side is also chaotic, and there is no way to organize a counterattack.

Fortunately, the role of those adventurers has been revealed, adventurers are very familiar with monsters, and this kind of small scene can't scare these people, not to mention, most of the adventurers who operate on a small team scale are used to this kind of chaotic battlefield, so these adventurers have come up with their true skills.

These adventurers also knew that if the city was broken, they would not have a good result, and they would have to fight hard. Due to the desperate counterattack of the adventurers, which bought a little time for the defenders, those temporary officers immediately began to shout, calm the panic, and organize the militia to launch a counterattack.

After the chaos gradually subsided, the frightened soldiers with trembling legs gradually plucked up the courage to start fighting back.

After killing some of the goblins, the soldiers gradually became less fearful at first, and they also knew that these monsters were just scary to look at, but they were also flesh and blood. Morale gradually rose, and as more and more soldiers began to fight back, the monsters that had just gained their foothold were driven off the city walls.
