In the year 1533 of the Middle-earth Terran calendar, the cold winter of September 17.

This is the first day that the adventurer Butos and the elven king Filas have left the kingdom of Luogudan, and it is also the second day that Eramos has been tormented by frost and cold.

King Pogusa stood on top of the city wall and looked into the distance.

At this time, Luogu Dan had abundant food and grass, which was enough to support it for a long time, but Luogu Dan's troops were extremely meager, except for about 5,000 knights and elven archers, there were only more than 1,000 people who volunteered to go to the battlefield.

Pogusa's fists clenched, and he had to defend Rogudan until the moment reinforcements arrived.

The noble elf, Sylace, used his excellent eyesight to observe a faint change in the distance: "Lord King, the scout of the orcs, the Dark Raven, is approaching. ”

"That's for sure," Pogusa's heart didn't have a trace of panic, "In order to capture Luogudan, the orcs will definitely send scouts to reconnoiter the forces in the city." ”

Sylace took the longbow from his back and mounted an elven arrow, aiming at the crow that was slowly flying towards Rogudan.

The cunning Raven seems to sense that it is a target, and it begins to change its flight path in an attempt to evade Silace's aiming.

However, Silace's archery was well-known among the elves, and Silace drew his bow to the fullest and confidently shot the arrow, which sliced through the air like a meteor and struck the Raven's chest.

The raven fell straight to the ground.

Silace smiled and said to Pogusa: "Luogudan is built against the mountain, only this direction can attack, we will definitely be able to defend." ”

Pogusa just frowned and nodded, then asked, "Are the elves' arrows enough?"

Sylace smiled, "I've already sent elves to build it, and we'll find the materials needed for the elven arrows." ”

"As far as I know, elven arrows cost a lot of money," Bogusa said, "and you can use the materials that can be used in the city of Luogudan." ”

Silace responded, "Yes." ”

However, as Silas and Pogusa spoke, no one noticed that from the corpse of the dead crow were crawling out of the corpse of the dead crow, groups of black bugs were approaching the city of Rogoudan in an organized and planned manner......

"Silace," Pogusa said to Silace suddenly, "do you remember the last time humans and elves joined forces?"

Silace replied respectfully, "In the year 3979 of the Elven calendar, which is the year 832 of the Terran calendar, on that occasion, the elves and humans joined forces to defeat the fire demons, and of course, the dwarves also contributed to it. ”

Pogusa sighed, "For nearly seven hundred years, I wanted humans and elves to be on good terms, but I didn't want it to be because of war. ”

"My lord, allow me to say this," said Silace with some caution, "if the desire can be reduced, then there will not be so much strife, do you understand what I mean?"

Pogusa looked into the distance and sighed, "I understand that humans probably shouldn't have banished orcs into the ice fields in the first place. If it wasn't for the cavalry of Luogu Dan to exile the orcs at that time, then the orcs would not have chosen to attack Luo Gu Dan at this time. ”

Hillace responded, "Exactly. ”

"But you elves will never understand this," Pogusa's words caught the attention of Silace: "Elves live long and live forever, and they only need to feed on trees to stay young forever." But human beings are different, and if the orcs remain in Middle-earth and do not expel them, it will be difficult for our people, my people of Luogudan, to survive. Not everyone on this continent can maintain peace with each other. ”

Silace couldn't help but raise his delicate eyebrows: "Although the elves will participate in the war, the elves are very opposed to the war. ”

Pogusa smiled bitterly, "Of course, unlike the warlike dwarves, the elves have their own eternal pursuits. ”

Suddenly, Pogusa said solemnly: "In the name of the king, I promise that as long as the knight of Luogudan is still alive for a day, I will not let the elves shed precious blood. ”

Sil's Ace hurriedly saluted King Pogusa and said, "Your Excellency, we have decided to defend the Kingdom of Rogudan to the death!"

Pogusa helped Silas to his feet and said, "You don't have to salute me, just think it's all for Middle-earth." ”

Silace stood up with a solemn face, and then said, "For Middle-earth." ”

The wind and snow gradually rose, burying the moonlight, but there was still a trace of moonlight that shone firmly on the place where Eramos in the city of Luogudan shone on.

The walls were guarded by Silace, and Pogusa could rest assured.

Pogusa walked slowly towards the palace, to which he had rarely been returned since the beginning of the war.

The heavy gates were slowly opened, and the King of Horsemen had lost his most elite troops, and he could no longer lose his kingdom and his people.

Luo Gu Dan's staff officer also didn't close his eyes for three days, and in front of a delicate map, Luo Gu Dan's staff officer frowned deadly.

Pogusa walked slowly and said, "Srdo, is there any countermeasure?"

"A very, very difficult solution...... My lord. Staff Officer Srdo replied.

Pogusa sat down on his throne and motioned for Srdo to speak out the countermeasures.

After coughing a few times, Syldo said slowly: "In less than three days, the orc army will definitely take advantage of the gap when we have no reinforcements to attack Luogu Dan City again. We have elven archers as a barrier, which is naturally the best thing to do at the moment. However, according to my observation of the battle situation this time, it was the undead army that the orcs sent to attack the city first, not the troops that the orcs would have sent in the past. ”

"What troops would the orcs have sent in the past?" Pogusa was a little tired, but he had to listen to Srdo's plan, and he couldn't afford to lose every plan that could change the tide of battle.

"Strictly speaking, orcs don't need to form an army, just six or seven megaliths. "Boulders have no intelligence, but their bodies are so strong that they can even deal devastating blows directly to the walls. ”

"Arrows aren't useful to them, are they?" asked Pogusa.

"Yes, sir. Srdo replied, "But the megaliths are afraid of the sun, and once their skin is exposed to the sun, then they will freeze into stone statues and lose their lives." ”

"So, if we can incapacitate the megaliths, and then prepare a few more archers, with the city walls, Luo Gu Dan can hold out for at least seven days. Because apart from the siege monsters, there are no troops that the orcs can attack. Srdo said his battle plan.

Pogusa sighed, "We need a good wanderer, but it's a pity that Butos is not here now. ”

"If someone can manipulate spells and release sunlight in the dark night when the orcs attack, then the orcs can also stop the attack. But...... The archmage of Tenosdia, Eramus, is now seriously injured, isn't he? ”

Pogusa responded simply, and then commanded, "We'll always have a way, and if we can do it, Srdo you should take a break." ”

Srdo's eyes were lowered, it was clear that he couldn't sleep, he had to contribute to the Empire.

Pogusa sat on his throne, leaning against the tall wall, and began a simple rest.

The moonlight was still faint, and the frost became more and more intense.
