"Mang Gurtai, you idiot. Just attacking such a small fortress cost him his life. Sarufa kneaded a string of skulls hanging around his neck.

The chiefs were silent, having lost both the chieftains of Azig and Manggultai since their journey south, and the troll and ogre clans under their command had suffered heavy losses. Although the ogres actually suffered less than a fifth of the casualties, they have completely collapsed, and they should not be expected to be able to fight alone as an independent force in the short term.

The trolls are even worse, and Azig and Kajin are both well-known warriors within the coalition. Although there is a chance that there will be no return for the sabotage mission, the death of the two people is still unexpected by everyone. Half of the warriors in their clan are also dead.

"Mang Gurtai is stupid, but he is not incompetent." The Half-Orc Clan Chieftain Dai Shan glanced at the newly elected Troll and Ogre Chieftains, shook his head, and said to the Great Chief Sarufar, "The warriors who can slay the Manggultai in such a short period of time cannot be taken lightly. And according to the captives, the Azig father and son were also warriors who died at the hands of that strange fortress. ”

"Daishan, can you deal with him?" The Great Chief stared at the hunched orc chieftain, "Let the warriors of the Fangs and Greyback Clans come to your aid and fetch his head for me." ”

Two orc warriors enter the tent. One of them was covered in hard, slippery green scales, with thick limbs and a thick tail flicking around on the ground.

"Greenscale Fangs Oclare (Rare Elite). Species: Lizardmen. ”

The other man was dressed in stiff white hair, with a large fluffy tail tucked between his legs, and the cold light between his eyes was as chilling as the fangs in his mouth.

"Moonlit Night Swift Finks (Rare Elite). Race: Werewolf. ”

Lizardmen are the best archers in the orc army, and werewolves are fierce in frontal combat. Both are well-known warriors in their respective clans. Their patriarch was directing the siege on the front line, and Sarufar summoned the two beasts back to join Daizen in attacking the Ramor Fortress.

The first day of fighting ended with the fall of night. Although there are many good players in the Orc Coalition who are good at night battles, the main army does not have an advantage in fighting at night, and it is very easy to fall into chaos. In addition, the human beings are guarding the fortified city, and now the patrol is very strict, and the point of sneak attack is much smaller.

Daizen approached the vicinity of the Ramor Ridge with a large number of his men, and after learning the lessons of his previous attackers, the orc laborers began to build a camp to surround the fortress.

"This fortification will put us in an invincible position." Dai Shan said, pointing to the walls and towers built by the laborers.

"This fortification has bought us another day." Sonia and Xiao Yan stood together on the high wall of the fortress and watched the orcs busy, and the girl nodded with satisfaction as she watched the sunset, "They don't know that we don't want to break through. ”

"There's a lot they don't know." Xiao Yan smiled.

On the third day after the formation mission was advanced, the orc army with the support of the camp began to attack the city of Odessa and the Ramole fortress at the same time.

With the success of the first day, humans are more confident and brave when defending. One siege tower after another was lit into a giant torch, and countless Orc Coalition soldiers died beneath the walls.

……

Far away in Wilhelmshaven, in the eastern part of Odessa, the citizens and guards who had learned of the invasion of the orc army looked into the distance from the city walls in fear.

The mayor of Wilhelmshaven also looked west from the castle in the inner city, and once the army of orcs arrived, the mayor did not know if he would abandon the city and flee.

"Cavalry! Cavalry is coming! There was an uproar on the city walls, and the mayor's heart stopped for three seconds.

"It's the Golden Lion Banner!" A sharp-eyed soldier recognized the banner, "It's His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Prince Commodus galloped with a large group of knights, crossed the drawbridge and the city gates, and came to the gates of the inner city without stopping.

"Your Royal Highness. Welcome! The mayor rubbed his hands in welcome and said, "The people of the city pray for your safety every day. ”

"Thank you, brave and loyal citizens of Kherson." Prince Commodus exchanged a few words of greeting, and led the lords and ministers who followed him into the meeting hall of the inner city.

"How's it going?" Archmage Raphael, the mastermind, questioned the scouts.

"The orc army destroyed the towns along the way to the city of Odessa. It should have arrived under the city of Odessa by now. ”

Although it was expected, the princes and lords all frowned.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! That's great news! Great joy! Archmage Raphael clapped and laughed loudly.

"Raphael's Privy Councillor, what is the pleasure?" The prince stared at the excited mage.

Archmage Raphael said calmly: "Although the Beast Clan Alliance has captured the Hearthfort, the strength of the eight major clans is only 100,000, and the scattered forces will be broken by our army individually. Therefore, the best strategy of the coalition now is to seize the frozen hill of Varna and the crossing of the Darenmere River at Wilhelmshaven, and block the reinforcements from Constantinople and Sevasto, so that the city of Odessa will become the pocket of the Orc Alliance. ”

"The middle strategy is to seize the town between Fort Hearthh and Odessa, and move steadily and steadily."

"The next step is to take Odessa directly." Prince Commodus's beautiful blonde hair seemed to be half scorched, but his presence grew stronger after the hardships, "exposing the long supply lines to our army." As soon as reinforcements from Sevasto and the royal capital arrived, they could be flanked and flanked. ”

"Your Highness is wise! Orcs are murderous and tyrannical, but after all, the barbarians are not enterprising and are attracted by the small profits in front of them. Although our army was trapped for a while, the overall situation was not lost, the backbone was still there, and the day of counterattack was just around the corner! Archmage Raphael spoke generously, and everyone in the hall was infected by his emotions and nodded.

While they were talking, suddenly a scout came up to report that a large group of horsemen had sensed the east bank of the Darrenmere River and asked to enter the city.

"Go down and have a look!" The generals hurried to the east gate with the prince in their arms, only to see a group of fierce cavalry lined up neatly without saying a word. The cavalrymen were heavily armoured, their horses were covered with heavy coats, and their saddles were filled with silver javelins and cavalry spears.

Without saying a word, the cavalry looked at the princes and his courtiers who were walking towards them, as thick and calm as the mountains.

"It's so murderous." The Grand Duke of Richeliu had been in the army for many years, and he knew the strength of the army's momentum at a glance. The army in front of him is strictly disciplined, and the soldiers are light and disciplined, which is not something that recruits who have never been on the battlefield can have.

Seeing the prince coming, the cavalry raised their swords to greet the prince, and for a time the cold light shone like a silver forest.

"Your Royal Highness, the commander of the Sevasto Hussars, Maximus, and the entire 1,500 cavalry regiment greet you."

"Hussars?" Prince Commodus was shocked when he heard this, "I have long heard that the winged cavalry is the best soldier in the world. With your help, we will be able to drive the orcs out of the realm. ”

"I want to die for the prince!" Thousands of winged cavalry shouted in unison, their evil aura almost condensed into a physical body hovering in the air, and both the nobles present and the soldiers looking around the city felt their spirits lifted.

After the hussars were settled, the prince returned to the meeting with his high-spirited courtiers. With this new force, as well as a steady stream of reinforcements from Sevasto, there is still a lot to be done in state affairs.

When the Fort was breached, in addition to the cavalry of the kingdom and the princes totaling 4,000 people, the rest of the nearly 20,000 infantry were either annihilated or completely defeated. The orc army that had hurried south had no time to sweep away the scattered and fleeing infantry, and Prince Commodus had no way to contain them.

After fleeing to Kherson, the remnants of the defeated army, who had been terrified like a lost dog, took a breather, and after the arrival of the well-equipped hussars, the morale of the whole army began to stabilize and rise.

"Sevasto's cavalry unit has less than 2,000 men on the way, and it can arrive tonight." Maximus walked beside the prince, "The infantry unit will have two more days. ”

"No more infantry. We used our cavalry units to surprise the orc coalition besieging Odessa. Prince Commodus said lightly, "Sarufar has left us behind, so you don't need to be polite. ”
