As the scorching sun hung high overhead, it was already noon, and more and more orcs had crossed the death zone within the range of the city's defense crossbows, and had already set up the siege ladder on the head of the city.

Under the walls, orcs threw axes and spears to cover their companions from climbing.

It's a pity that it can't compare to the condescending human beings on the wall.

After paying a lot of casualties, the first soldier finally rushed up, but he was almost exhausted, screamed, and was stabbed by the knight who had been prepared.

The advantage of defending the city is not only the condescending shooting, but also the heavy physical exertion of the attacker when running long distances.

Especially in hand-to-hand combat, physical strength is even more important.

These orcs dodged attacks all the way, and then climbed the city wall, their physical strength had already been greatly consumed, and they were naturally no match for the human soldiers on the wall.

The orcs went up to the city wall, but the effect on the ballista that shot from a distance naturally slowed down.

"Click......"

Malone ripped off the base of a city defense crossbow, put the upper half of it in his hand, and used it as a hand crossbow.

With his strength, it is completely easy to hold it with one hand and wind it with one hand.

"Whew......"

A crossbow bolt fires out, hitting an orc who is on a killing spree.

It was a powerful fellow, and since the time it climbed the wall, several knights had died at its hands in a row.

was finally found by Ma Long, and when he raised his weapon, an arrow hit the armpit, inserted a pair of piercing, and naturally could not survive.

Unwillingly, he opened his lips, and finally fell to the ground with a bang.

The corpse was lifted up by a knight next to him, and he threw it down, smashing the two orcs who were climbing up into a rolling gourd, and they couldn't get up for a long time.

After being shot by a few arrows, he left his life behind.

Ma Long held the crossbow to defend the city, pointing where to fight, whenever there was an emergency, he shot an arrow, most of the time to solve the problem.

The city gate is the focus of the orc attack, and the iron-clad wooden gate there is naturally heavy and strong compared to the family use.

The tall city wall, which is relatively difficult to destroy, is a conspicuous flaw.

As the city wall of the royal capital, there are three gates in the south.

These are the key areas for the orcs to take care of, and they are also the focus of the human defenders.

Before the three gates, the rain of arrows did not stop, and even if the archers were knights, they couldn't hold on, and they changed batch after batch.

Not only are there a lot of corpses piled up there, but they are also full of arrows!

The sun is in the west, the sky is getting dark, and seeing that there is no hope for today, although unwilling, the orc army has to be temporarily evacuated!

Night is not suitable for siege.

While the defenders on the city walls breathed a sigh of relief, the commanders began to arrange for people to clean up the battlefield.

The corpses should be cleaned up, and the city defense crossbows that were not seriously damaged should be repaired.

Treat the wounded and resurrect the dead!

Prepare for tomorrow's battle and be prepared for a possible night attack by the orcs.

Marlon and the others went down the city wall and returned to the headquarters.

He had many doubts to ask, and he had to go to the palace in a moment.

Today's battle for the defense of the city seemed to him to be too easy, not at all like Armageddon.

It's not like the orc's courageous style.

It's not as hard as when Los Angeles was tough!

What about the orcs' siege engines?

He remembered that there were trebuchets in Los Angeles, why are they gone?

"Originally, there were." Steck replied, "But it's all new, it should be that the materials are not up to par, and they will break after a few days, and they may be too troublesome to use again." ”

His explanation sounded plausible, but Malone always felt that it was wrong.

If there is nothing troublesome about war, if you don't do it if you don't think it's troublesome, then there is no need to fight!

Is the commander of the orcs an idiot?

Apparently not!

"Be careful." He reminded: "The other side may be stockpiling siege equipment, ready to take us by surprise." ”

"I understand!" Steck nodded, "It's a matter of life and death for countless people, and I never dare to be careless!" ”

"Knock ......"

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in!" Malone turned his head and shouted.

One of the guards entered the house, bowed his head, and said, "Your Excellency, there is a messenger from outside who says it is the Queen, please go to the palace." ”

After listening to the guards' report, several people glanced at each other, Ma Long got up and said: "The action is really fast, it seems that the battle in other directions will end first, then that's it, I'll go first, and I'll talk about it when I come back." ”

After packing up his clothes, Malone followed him out.

It was an acquaintance, some elderly Bill.

I haven't seen him for a while, he looks a lot older, he no longer has the same spirit as before, and the gentleman's restrained pride can't be seen, obviously there is a lot of pressure on both the mind and the body these days.

Indeed, when the enemy hits the city, the higher the position, the more afraid they are, because they know better.

It is said that people are afraid of the unknown, but Malone does not fully agree with it, and there is still a saying that the ignorant are fearless in this world.

After greeting each other, Bill led Marlon to the palace.

There weren't as many words as before, and the whole person became a lot silent.

Ma Long rode on the red rabbit, followed by two teams of guards, and went straight to the palace.

Along the way, the streets were deserted, and there was no bustle when they first came.

Originally, most of the shops on both sides were closed at this time, and only a few still insisted.

Most of the houses were also inhabited by soldiers, not civilians.

War is not only about destroying human lives on the battlefield, but also about the economy and people's livelihood in the rear.

Once again, he was sure that his efforts to help defend the orcs were right, and if the king couldn't hold on, this scene would definitely appear in Blackstone City.

No...... Black Rock City will also have to give up at that time, and it will definitely not be able to hold it.

Then there will only be Tucheng left, there is not enough agricultural support, and it will be a problem to eat at that time, which is even worse than here!

The palace was also much quieter, and it looked even more dull.

There are fewer guards on the outside, but there are more elites in the shadows, obviously guarding against assassinations and other actions.

Marlon marched all the way, and the guards saluted one after another.

Instead of entering the main hall for deliberations, Bill led him into the side hall.

"Marquis of Marlon!"

"Her Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"You may be seated!"

After greeting each other, they are invited to sit down.

The queen sat on the throne, with her husband, Archduke Anlek, beside her.

Malone sat directly below by the side of the gate, opposite the main seat.

Being able to sit here is not because of how noble he is, or because he has a higher status than the Sect, but because he needs to report the situation.

On this trip, although the main envoy is Eliya, everyone knows that the real person in charge is Ma Long.

Although the elves' movements were transmitted back in advance through the power of the wizard, it was clear where he answered the letter.

This kind of major event, the difference is a fraction of a millimeter, and everyone naturally has to understand it clearly.

Ma Long didn't hide it, he told what he saw along the way, 1510 clearly.

Naturally, he would not say what he wanted to do when he took the opportunity to transplant bread trees.

Malone is not yet so selfless.

As for the presence of the panel, it is even more unlikely to leak out. Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books! It's really a good book to flirt with girls!
