Chapter 61: The Orcs Attack the City

Zhuode reminisces about the history of Misty Island, but unlike the others on Misty Island, he is not a native of Misty Island, he came to Misty Island from the outside world.

He touched the delicate pendant on his chest.

The old man said that he was found on a dark night 16 years ago, when there was a faint flash of fire on the distant sea, like a burning boat, and a fisherman on the seashore found him as a baby in a wooden barrel with a pendant and a piece of paper.

There is only one name on paper: Zhuode.

The next day, patches of wood and debris drifted over the sea, as well as many corpses.

Zhuode became an orphan, because life on the island was difficult, and no one wanted to raise him, and the old patriarch thought that he was a good omen, which meant that the misty island would eventually get out of trouble, so he decided to let the army take care of raising him.

Let this group of big men raise babies?

Zhuo De laughs when he thinks about it now, in fact, this group of big men really raised him, but whose child has been practicing martial arts since he was 3 years old? Whose child practices sword at the age of 5 and archery at the age of 8? At the age of 12, he was able to go to the mountains with the hunting party to fight the rock wolves, and at the age of 15, according to the rules of Misty Island, he became an adult and officially became the garrison of the village, and at the age of 17, he has killed dozens of beasts, and has also shot dozens of beasts with spears and bows.

However, he would rather kill a Wyvern, because anyone who kills a Wyvern can be promoted directly to the rank of Squadron Leader with 300 men.

Only 2 in history have done it, and with such prestige, both of them have finally become patriarchs, the most recent of which is the old patriarch who has passed away, and is also his savior.

Zhuo De believes that he can kill the Wyvern with his own ability, and all he lacks is a chance.

That's why he joined the Perimeter Guard.

For more than 200 years after the dragon left, the wyverns were not willing to have such a foreign presence under their noses, but after paying a huge price, the wyverns found that even after so many years, they still could not get close to Kolo Village, and once humans left Kolo Village 20 kilometers, they could attack unscrupulously without fear of being killed by magic. As a result, the Wyvern roams around the perimeter from time to time, attacking humans as soon as they find them out of the safe zone.

At first, human beings will not be stupid to leave the safe zone, but with the increase in population, resources are becoming increasingly insufficient, especially iron ore, because of hundreds of years of use, the safe zone has been exhausted, so people can only bite the bullet and quietly mine the minerals outside the safe zone, and the loss is certainly not small, Marven's parents were found by the flying dragon in the process of mining unfortunately died, in order to provide safety alert, a guard team was formed decades ago, once the flying dragon was found, immediately sent someone to notify the mining team to put down work and enter the safety zone, And the vigilance team needs to attract the attention of the wyvern and try to buy time.

But it also means risk, with the Vigilance being one of the most casualty teams, with an average of 40 or even 5 adults dying at the hands of Wyverns every year.

However, in order for more people to survive, the vigilante team still needs to be retained. All the people who participate in the vigilance team are people who put life and death out of the way, and they will be treated much better than the general team, such as dried mushroom cakes, which are not something that everyone can eat, and they can also eat some meat strips every once in a while.

Zhuode thought for a while and fell asleep in a daze, he was also tired.

"Zhuode, wake up!"

Zhuo De, who was in a daze, opened his eyes and saw that it was Marven who was desperately shaking him.

"Lazy pig, you're awake, why are you urging me to get up."

Marven said eagerly: "Hurry up, the orcs are starting to attack the city!" ”

"What!" Zhuo De stood up suddenly, "What did you say!" Orcs are under siege? ”

"It's already started, I don't know what medicine these orcs have taken wrong, they are desperately attacking us today, and they have already hit the city wall, and the patriarchs have gone to the city wall to sit down." Marven said anxiously.

Zhuode quickly straightened his clothes and took the spear: "When did you start fighting?" ”

In the past, there were only humans and no orcs in Misty Island, but a few years ago, I don't know where I started to find traces of orcs, because I didn't dare to leave the safe zone too far, people didn't come into contact with orcs much, and they didn't pay much attention to these green-skinned monsters. Many people even think that the orcs outside the safe zone will eventually become the rations of the wyvern, and they will not be able to jump for a few days.

However, as time passed, the frequency of encounters with orcs became more and more frequent, and after many conflicts between the two sides over resources, the relationship between orcs and humans gradually changed from neutral to hostile, and the orcs first began to attack humans in an organized manner, and another human village was destroyed after the orc attack a few years ago, and humans paid a tragic price of thousands of casualties, so far the relationship between the two sides has been endless.

In the wilderness, humans are at a disadvantage due to differences in individual strength, and to make matters worse, every time humans and orcs are together, wyverns are more inclined to attack humans than orcs, which is why orcs can roam freely on the island while humans can only huddle in a safe zone.

However, the safe zone will only attack the dragon, and the orcs will not be attacked by the magic circle left behind by the dragon after entering the safe zone.

Therefore, human beings have to face the attack of the wyvern outside the safe zone, and also have to prevent the orcs from attacking the safe zone, and the situation is extremely unfavorable.

After capturing another village, the orcs also took advantage of the situation to launch a large-scale attack on Kolo Village, intending to annihilate the humans in one fell swoop, but under the stubborn defense of the humans, the orcs who did not have the advantage of sneak attack were defeated, leaving nearly a thousand corpses behind.

From then on, although the orcs would send troops to attack the village of Kolo from time to time, each time it was mainly harassment, and the main force would not attack head-on, intending to slowly consume the humans.

Zhuode anxiously ran to the city wall, the people were very united under the tempering of the harsh environment for many years, and after learning that the orcs had attacked, the men who could afford to hold weapons climbed the wall to defend themselves against the enemy, while the old, weak, women, and children were busy providing logistics services for the front line.

Zhuode and Marvin followed the road to cross the convoy carrying supplies for the front line and soon climbed to the city wall.

"Hiss~"

Zhuo De and Marven both gasped, and they could feel the tense atmosphere in the city, and after climbing the city wall, facing the dense rush of beast soldiers, the nervousness immediately turned into fear.

It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I'm worried about people's fate.

I saw that the outside of the city was densely packed with thousands of orcs who were rushing towards the city wall one after another, and suffered heavy casualties when passing through the archers' firing area, but the orcs had no intention of stopping, hundreds of orcs had established a temporary position under the city wall, and the wooden shields defended the archers from the top down.

"Splash boiling water!"

The garrison roared hoarsely.

The village of Kolo did not have fire oil, so it was easier to attack the orcs under the city walls with boiling water.

Dozens of clay pots filled with boiling water were thrown at the city wall, and the beast soldiers who were scalded by the boiling water threw away their shields and screamed in pain, while the archers on the city wall took the opportunity to collect dozens of exposed beast soldiers, and the siege cones of the beast soldiers managed to push in front of the city gate.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The garrison roared hoarsely.

"Watch out for the throwing axe!"

As soon as the archers showed their heads, hundreds of throwing axes slashed head-on, instantly losing half a squad of archers.

As soon as Drod climbed the wall, he helped drag the wounded archer down, and the hapless fellow was lucky, the throwing axe only cut off one of his hands, much better than the dying guy with the throwing axe embedded in his chest that Marven had dragged.

At least he will still cry out in pain, Marven is already less in and out of breath.

After handing over the wounded archers to the logistics team, Zhuode and Marven picked up their bows and arrows and quivers containing a dozen arrows.

Familiar feeling!

Drow drew his longbow and quickly aimed at an orc commander hundreds of paces away who was directing the orc attack with his arm out.

Sou~

Triangular arrows slit the orc commander's throat, and bloody arrows emerged from the back of his neck.

An arrow through the throat!

The orc commander raised his finger in disbelief and pointed in the direction of Drod, it didn't understand why it could be shot by a bow and arrow at such a distance, this distance should be an area that Terran archers can't attack!

Sou~

A second triangular armor-piercing arrow shot another orc commander.

Zhuode unhurriedly shot all the arrows, almost killing them, and the commander in the rear of the orc army suffered heavy losses, and the chaos in the rear quickly spread to the front line.

Orcs are a race with an extremely strict hierarchy, high-level individuals can command other orcs at will, whether in life, production or on the battlefield, high-level individuals are the only ones who dominate, once the low-level individuals do not obey the order, they will be scolded and beaten, and their lives will be lost, so in many cases, as long as the high-level individuals in the orcs are killed, the confidence of other orcs can be destroyed.

The orc's assault was quickly neutralized, and after dropping hundreds of corpses, the orcs dodged a distance, but showed no signs of withdrawing.

"Zhuode is good!"

"Well done, kill a few more!"

......

Because he grew up in the barracks, most soldiers know Zhuo De, he has learned the killing skills accumulated by everyone for many years since he was a child, these moves are for a simpler and more efficient killing of the enemy, and after more than ten years of edification, Zhuo De's martial arts have far surpassed ordinary soldiers.

But no soldier would be jealous of him, for Drod was their common child.

"Zhuode, the patriarch is looking for you."

One of the heralds said after finding Drowd.

The current patriarch, Luo Yi, is the son of the old patriarch, and the position of patriarch is elected by the votes of the representatives of each district (a total of 10 districts), so he obtained the position of patriarch by prestige rather than by hereditary.

"Zhuode, good job." Patriarch Luo Yi beckoned to Zhuo De from afar.

"I've seen the patriarch." Zhuo De bowed, because of the relationship between the old patriarch, he knew Patriarch Luo Yi for a long time, the other party is in his early forties this year, he is one meter eight tall, his body is very strong, and he has been promoted to an expert-level warrior last year.

When the old patriarch was still there, he was one of the two captains of Kolo Village, and he made great achievements for the clansmen, and the orcs who died in his hands had already passed the triple digits, and everyone called him the burial orc behind his back.

Luo Yi patted Zhuo De hard: "You will be 18 years old next year, as long as you return to the garrison and become a squad leader according to your combat exploits, no one will have any objections, and it won't take too long to be promoted to squadron leader, how about it, do you still plan to slay dragons?" ”

Zhuo De clenched his fists and said firmly: "I must slay the dragon to show you, what about the flying dragon, as long as I have the opportunity, I must kill one!" ”

"Hahaha, the kid has backbone." Patriarch Luo Yi stroked his palms and laughed, "Okay! I don't force you, but don't die outside, I hope you can take my place in the future. ”

"Patriarch, you're exalting me too much." Zhuode was taken aback, he had never thought of something so far ahead.
