Chapter Eighty-Six: The Orc Attack

The first rays of sunlight in the Elwyn Forest shone on the half-built city wall, and the reserved gate had been blocked by debris, even if the wall had not yet been built for people to hide, in the face of the current crisis, the warriors stood on it without hesitation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Lying in the rudimentary bunker that the people had urgently built out of sacks, Kulaken watched the spears flying overhead, spit out the bitten wooden stick in his mouth, and pulled down his companion who was cautiously peeking out.

"Hell! Do you want to find death! He slapped the young man on the head and said viciously, "Olland, I warn you! If you try to peek out again, I'll smash your ass!" ”

Pouting, a young man named Orange made a bitter face: "I see that the main body of the city wall is about to be completed, but why are these green-skinned monsters here now!" ”

Just last night, the scouts spotted no less than three thousand orcs appearing on the road!

Sharif, who temporarily replaced the commander, was almost frightened, and at the same time as he hurriedly asked people to report to the City of Angels, he immediately organized the people and soldiers to block the gaps in the city wall that had not yet been closed with debris, and at the same time put temporary bunkers on half of the city wall so that the soldiers had a place to hide.

It's just one night! These ugly monsters are like mushrooms, almost like they grew out of the ground!

When the soldiers defending the city saw the continuous military momentum outside the city walls, many soldiers who had only fought with the gnolls did not even know that the weapons in their hands had fallen......

Maybe it's because they're not well prepared, these orcs don't seem to be attacking yet, maybe they're preparing siege engines? The soldiers didn't care about that, they just wanted to enjoy the morning in the Elwyn Forest before the battle began.

---------------------------

Under the gaze of the soldiers, several griffons slowly landed in the open space of the fortress in the morning light, and the sharp-eyed soldiers saw the people on the griffins clearly, and immediately exclaimed: "It's the lord!" ”

His words stirred up a commotion, but soon, under the threat of the captain and the enemy's spears and arrows, they soon regained their composure, and looked with eager eyes at the figure in mighty silver armor.

"Bang-" Using a lion shield to knock off a powerless javelin, Xiao Yi looked at the surroundings indifferently.

Because the walls were not completed, the total height was only more than four meters and less than five meters, and it was not more than two stories high, so the enemy's throwing weapons could attack the city without hesitation.

Although Sharif also arranged for archers to climb the city wall to counterattack, it was difficult to effectively protect these archers from the rudimentary bunkers, and many of these inexperienced archers were hit by the enemy when they were aiming, and occasionally successfully launched, but the scattered attacks could not give the enemy an effective attack at all!

"Do-" let a throwing axe, the gravitational force caused it to smash on a makeshift rudimentary wooden fortress, making a dull sound, and a soldier stuck out his head to look at it, and immediately retracted.

But soon he crawled out again, and shouted excitedly, "Lord Lord! His voice was so loud that many nearby soldiers who were hiding under cover came out.

"Get out of cover!" Xiao Yi saw that the crowd was gathering towards him, Xiao Yi hurriedly yelled, and at the same time put on the helmet in his hand.

He was afraid that if he was swaggering like this, he might do something wrong because of his reputation. Fortunately, these people were all soldiers who had undergone rigorous training, and the officers among them immediately drove these soldiers back to their bunkers with kicks after understanding what Xiao Yi meant.

"Yards!" Xiao Yi scolded in a low voice, nodded to Isabel, who was already wearing a silver scale armor, and strode towards the fortress.

He finally persuaded Isabel that he was already packing his things and preparing to take a boat to Lordaeron in the next two days, but who knew that the orcs would actually attack the Westspring Fortress at this time, and it would be a large-scale attack!

"My lord! How did you get here! Sharif asked in surprise, he would rather go and fight the red dragon alone than let Xiao Yi come to the front line again!

He patted Sherif on the shoulder, signaling him to leave this matter alone, after a week of training, with the bonus of the City of Angels, he was already able to use the shield and simply use the chain hammer very proficiently.

"I'll introduce you." Xiao Yi pointed at Isabel and said, "Ms. Isabelle, the latest partner to join us, is also the commander of this battle. ”

"Hello, ma'am! The guard officer Sherif reports to you. Hearing Xiao Yi's introduction, Sharif suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and gave Isabel a military salute.

Waving his hand, Isabel said solemnly, "How is the situation now?" ”

"The number of enemies we have determined is no more than three thousand, but the dire wolves have reported that there are many gnolls, ogres, kobolds and other creatures roaming around here, and I am afraid that these are all orc servant armies." Sharif briefly explained the situation.

After thinking about it for a while, he added: "For the time being, the enemy's air force has not been found, which is good news for us." ”

Taking off the helmet, Xiao Yi said with a wry smile: "Not necessarily, the red dragon can fly directly from Stormwind City, which is not difficult for them." ”

For the red dragon, with Alux, Xiao Yi is not afraid this time, as an outstanding swordsman, this kind of young dragon that has been born is probably no different from a gnoll in his eyes, except that one can fly and the other can't fly.

"A regular army of 3,000 men, an unknown number of servants, and a red dragon that may appear." Isabel thought for a moment, frowning.

"Don't you even notice it! I remember the day before yesterday I received your report that everything was normal with the orcs? Xiao Yi couldn't hold back and said in a reproachful tone.

Shrugging his shoulders, Sherif was very helpless: "I think the enemy is coming from Stormwind, because only there, our griffons dare not approach, and there are often red dragons flying out of Stormwind and patrolling along the road between Shining Gold and Stormwind." ”

"So a lot of times, griffin knights tend to neglect to pay attention to these places......"

Sharif's voice became quieter and quieter, and the orcs had turned a blind eye to them for so long that everyone let their guard down, even the usual stereotypical Sharif! It's been almost three weeks since the orc's first tentative attack before the enemy has launched a counterattack!

"You!" Fingers trembling and pointing at Sharif with his head down, Xiao Yi was so angry that he could barely speak.

"How about we counterattack and get out!" Isabel suddenly raised her head and said something that almost made Xiao Yi choke.

"No, you can't!" Xiao Yi and Sharif shouted at the same time.

Isabel was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something when the mournful roar of the vigilant soldiers came from outside.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The enemy is attacking the city......"

"Bell, bell, bell," followed by the rapid sound of the bell.

"Quick! Hurry up and organize the soldiers! Call me all the heralds! Isabelle's shouts woke up Xiao Yi, who was a little stunned, and Sharif had already rushed out of the fortress.

Without waiting for Xiao Yi to say anything, Isabel grabbed Xiao Yi's hand and ran downstairs.

"What are you doing...... Before Xiao Yi could speak, he heard a bang overhead, and an irregular stone the size of a watermelon fell from the roof and came towards the staircase.

"Hercules Aegis!" Just as Xiao Yi was thinking about how to block the stone with the lion shield, Isabel pushed him down the stairs, and after releasing a Hercules shield at the top of the stairs, he ran down with his hands and feet in embarrassment.

Pulling up Xiao Yi, who was dizzy from rolling down the stairs, Isabel glanced at the ceiling uneasily, and after finding that it was wooden, he ran out without the slightest hesitation, and shouted loudly: "Alux! ”

At this time, the entire fortress was in a wail, and no one thought that the enemy, who had only used throwing weapons all along, and did not even have a few bows and arrows, would have catapults! The rudimentary makeshift hideout was crushed by the heavy stones.

The soldiers hiding inside the bunker were crushed by the heavy wood and let out screams of panic, but then they were dug up by the officers and led by men, and basically did not suffer any fatal injuries except for some unlucky eggs who were hit by rocks and injured. This made some hot-tempered officers angrily reach out and give a few kicks to the fiercest people.

Xiao Yi, who was a little dizzy, had just run out of the fortress with Isabel when he saw a simple bunker hit by stones, and the stones with huge kinetic energy smashed the sacks on the bunker, and the two soldiers hiding behind hurriedly dodged.

"I hate fights like this! Destroy those abominable catapults! After estimating, Isabelle, who didn't think there were many catapults, yelled at Arux, who had just arrived.

The unfinished walls and lack of defensive equipment made Isabel feel extremely aggrieved, which is why she proposed to go out of the city for a decisive battle.

It's not that she doesn't have brains, the enemy has a powerful air force, even if they have a strong man like Alux on their side, they can't get rid of all the red dragons at the first time, unless the enemy only has one red dragon.

All it takes is a red dragon to make the guards on the city walls collapse! Instead of putting a small number of men on the narrow walls and playing with the enemy, it is better to go out and fight the enemy openly, so that you can also take advantage of the Templars' ability to fight in groups!

But the enemy suddenly attacked and caught them by surprise!

"Herald! Let the spearmen prepare to go up the walls! Get ready for hand-to-hand combat! "Grab a herald," Isabel muttered.

"Yes! Commander! Isabel's charisma gave the panicked herald some courage, and he replied aloud.

"Let all the shooters go up the walls! Suppress the enemy for me! Given the order again, Isabel sternly said to the other herald, "Tell the commander of the Marksman Regiment!" I don't care what his reason is, they are not allowed to retreat unless I command them! ”
