Chapter 158: Soldiers Descend on the City

Boom! Boom! Boom! ……

The rumbling war drums were like a punch, slamming heavily into his chest, looking at the green outside the city wall, the hatred in Rhine's heart was less than one ten-thousandth of the sea that poured into the endless sea.

When Stormwind was founded, the people who had traveled south from Araçoh came from the north, and when they passed through the snow-capped Danmoro with the help of the dwarves, they saw a sea of green as they climbed through the mountains. It was also at that moment that the lush Elwyn Forest began to become a new land of human conquest, and the Kingdom of Stormwind was established on this land.

Perhaps to keep the history remembered for future generations, or perhaps because of its location, or both, Stormwind's first king, Rhein Ureon, founded the kingdom's first city, Stormwind, in the same place where the Elwyn Forest was discovered.

For hundreds of years, Stormwind has been run by the successors of the Uryon family, and it has become a true royal city. Not to mention the majestic city built against the mountains, the mere fact that the walls of a city tens of meters high and made entirely of the hardest rocks were polished into regular and uniform rectangular shapes were enough to make anyone who wanted to fight it feel intimidating.

When it comes to the defense of the city, Stormwind doesn't think twice about the entire kingdom, but even the strongest city has to be defended by people. It's just that the fortifications are powerful, and the soldiers defending the city are a group of soft-footed shrimp, and the city can't be defended.

Since the founding of the Stormwind Kingdom, except for the early years of the country, Stormwind City has not been threatened. Especially in the last two or three hundred years, with the expansion of the kingdom's power, the entire Elwyn Forest has become the kingdom's back garden, and there is no trace of war. After a long period of peace, people's vigilance is gone, and they are replaced by thinking about how to live better and how to have fun.

When Stormwind was built, the trees around the city were cut down to prevent the Elder Wyn Forest from being attacked by native creatures such as the Gnolls. In this way, it is impossible for the enemy outside the city to get close to the city without realizing it. And this has the advantage that even if the enemy comes to Stormwind City, he will not be able to find materials that can make siege equipment for a while.

However, after all, that was the beginning, and the current situation is that after hundreds of years of peace, the kingdom that has been peaceful for a long time, from the king to the common people, has lost the sense of distress. The aristocrats indulged in drunkenness, drunk and dreamed all day long, and did not think how much more they could do.

As a result, no one stopped the trees around Stormwind City from cutting them down, and it was said that it would be much more convenient for the nobles to go out on an outing or something, and they didn't have to run so far as before, just go out of the city gate.

No one has cut it down for two or three hundred years, and the trees outside Stormwind City have naturally flourished again, if it is a very peaceful time, then there is nothing, who expected that the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the orcs came.

These filthy and savage guys in the mouths of these nobles unexpectedly defeated Wang ****, invaded the twilight forest, and chased the fleeing army all the way to the outside of Stormwind City. Although the orcs could not enter the city due to the tall walls of Stormwind, it was enough to make the people of the city tremble.

Now, the orc army that was blocked outside the city did not retreat, and under the watchful eyes of the defenders inside the city, these green-skinned hunchbacks were cutting down the trees outside the city, and the long ladders and crash cars for the siege of the city were built little by little.

To be honest, at the beginning, the defenders of Stormwind were still ready to see the orc jokes, after all, the siege equipment is not as simple as it seems, and it is impossible to build it without a little technology. What the defenders didn't expect was that after only half a day, the orcs slapped them in the face with their actions.

It took only three hours for these green-skinned guys to build a long ladder, and looking at the length of the ladder, the hearts of the defenders on the city wall sank. Not for anything else, but because they could see that the long ladder made by the orcs was enough for them to climb the walls of Stormwind.

In other words, once the siege begins, the orcs have the ability to threaten the human defenders on the city walls.

Can build a ladder tens of meters long, is this still a rumored barbarian species who only uses brute force and has no brains at all?

The human soldiers on the walls looked at each other.

This is not over, the appearance of the long ladder is just the beginning, just an hour later, a crash car that is more than ten meters long and requires nearly twenty orcs to push it has taken shape. Although its craftsmanship is as crude as that of an apprentice, it is a crash, and if an orc pushes it up, it can pose a threat to the gates.

The place that makes the Rhine hate is here, if it weren't for the so-called convenience of those nobles in the kingdom for the so-called outing, there would be so many big trees around Stormwind City? If it weren't for the pleasure of these guys, the orcs would have been able to find so many materials to make siege equipment from local materials now?

If you can, Rhine Truth yelled at the group of rice worms who only knew drunk life and dreams every day: "You pig teammates, you have mistaken yourself and the country, and now you will kill everyone." ”

It's not that Rhine doesn't have confidence, it's that he knows too well the combat effectiveness of the Wangcheng troops. It is precisely because the kingdom has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and because the royal family, nobles, and grand dukes have maintained a balanced situation within the kingdom, and there has been no civil strife, so there are only a few armies that the entire Stormwind Kingdom can really handle, and they are all border troops except for the troops of Xiquan Fortress. As for the soldiers guarding the royal city of Stormwind, their combat effectiveness will also scare the common people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that none of these guys can fight.

Not only could he not fight, but when the orcs attacked the city, Rhine would have to worry about these defenders, worried that they would be frightened by the orcs and take the lead in escaping, which would ruin their morale.

This is not Rhine's imagination, you must know that many people choose to go to Stormwind City as a soldier, so that there is no need to go to the battlefield here, and many nobles even regard coming to Stormwind City as a gold-plated method, expecting them to fight the orcs Rhine is not as happy as wiping his neck directly.

When the war was coming, Rhine found out that his kingdom had so many problems, because he used to call himself a hero, but he never thought that his kingdom was so vulnerable. Look at how ironic it is that the little orcs, a group of barbarians pouring up from the dark swamp, can threaten the royal city of Stormwind.

Just when Rhine felt sorry for himself, the orcs moved.
