Chapter 29: Counteroffensive
The Northern Frontier is the collective name for the entire northern realm. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info takes the Cold Ridge Mountain Range as the dividing line, and the west is the territory of the orc race, where the snow and cold wind are cold all year round, and ordinary people can't set foot at all.
The area to the east of the Coldridge Mountains is the Northland, home to the Northlanders who have lived and thrived here for generations.
Rumors of Princess Cialis having mage blood were shattered with the fall of Winterdale Fortress.
Located at the junction of the Northland and the Coldridge Mountains, Winterdale Fortress is a must for orcs to invade the Northlands, as well as the seat of the kings of the North.
Each King of the North will be at the forefront of the battle against the Orcs until he dies in the snowflakes and returns to the embrace of the Ice Goddess.
Her father, Jonson of the North, had recently died in battle in the fortress, and her "mage" mother had never been seen once.
The fall of Winterdale Fortress meant a steady stream of orcs coming to attack. Although the people of the Northland have long regarded the harassment and raiding of sporadic orcs as part of their daily lives, this is the first time in nearly a hundred years that the orc army has broken through Winter Valley.
With the death of the king of the north, the princess of Hillis also lost her territory, and she took the few northerners who were willing to follow her, and lived a life of exile.
It was her men who had just launched a surprise attack on Keith in a hesitant attempt to help Her Royal Highness escape. But the rebellion failed, and her men were eaten alive by the orc's wolves, and if it weren't for Keith's blocking of a spear stabbed by the orc in the scarlet fur cloak, Her Royal Highness would have died long ago.
"Your Highness Cialis, how did you get caught?" Keith asked, a little confused, "I heard that you should be safe in Kurumman's territory to the south." ”
"Kurumman betrayed me, and she sent us to these orcs in exchange for the safety of her own territory in order to protect her territory and her people." Hillis said indifferently, and didn't seem to show much hatred for this matter.
"I don't believe ......," Keith shook his head decisively, unwilling to believe that Kurumman would betray the princess for his own preservation.
"Everyone in the back can testify for me, Case...... I don't have any reason to lie. She walked in the snow with a blank face, and there was not the slightest fluctuation of emotion in her words.
She seemed to have reached the limit of her physical strength, and the girl's body was crooked, and she was about to fall to the ground. Keith quickly helped Cialis who was about to fall, and the wolf cavalry beside him heard the movement and kicked directly on the bearded man's back.
"Let's go...... Don't stop! The orc roared at the wolf, and the wolf beneath it bared its teeth in protest.
Keith was kicked by it, and his loyal men hurriedly supported him, and a few others wanted to rush up and fight the orc.
Seeing that the wolf cavalry decisively pulled out his battle axe, Keith decisively pulled his men aside and signaled them not to ask for trouble.
"Case, what's your plan?" Hillis was half-leaning on the bearded body, and she really didn't have any strength to walk on her own.
Keith looked at the gloomy sky ahead, and the rolling dark clouds mixed with muffled thunder were already on the verge of overpowering this side.
"The storm is coming." He muttered quietly, just enough to reach the girl's ears.
……
"What are they waiting for?" Moria and Lancet stood on the towering ice rock, a long passage in the middle of the cracked ice rock that the orcs had to pass through.
"Tempest." Lancet looked up at the sky, and it was almost certain that Keith was ready to use the storm to stage a sneak attack and escape.
Half an hour ago, they found the location of this orc unit under Ed's reconnaissance, and the two of them waited for a long time in this hidden position and did not see the bearded man in the team move, so Lancet was so sure.
Eighteen orc wolf cavalry that can be melee and ranged, plus an orc Eye of Geush in a black and red cloak, is really a difficult team.
In the game before, Lancet has also encountered these guys who can have a special connection with the orc god. Their usual duties were to perform sacrifices to the one-eyed Gush, interpret his revelations, and convey the will of the orc gods to the chiefs of the tribes.
These guys, who basically don't risk their lives, actually led the team personally this time, and there must be some special purpose that requires his ability.
Randster looked at the ranks of the Northland captives, who had shrunk considerably, and estimated that the men and women who could fight were at most about twenty men and women. It seems that the failed sneak attack just now caused them to lose a lot of combat effectiveness.
"Robb, follow me in a moment." Ranster beckoned to the hounds on the side, and the others obediently came up to him.
……
The storm poured down with a roaring thunder, and the rain turned the snow on the ground into water, which was frozen into thin ice by the extremely low temperature on the surface.
The team soon entered a narrow passage of ice and rock. As long as you cross this road, you will be in front of the territory controlled by the orc tribe.
The Eye of the Orc Geush at the front of the group also began to let his guard down, and in his opinion it was already within the control of the Blonka tribe.
He said a few words to one of the wolf horsemen behind him, who quickly ran to the front of the captive line and gripped Cialis roughly, already weakened.
"Stay away from her!" Keith's bound hands grabbed the orc's arm and pulled it to his side, and the other party was directly pulled to the ground by him when he was caught off guard, and the ice wolf that wanted to rush under it was affected by the slippery ground and could not use force at all.
Keith knew that now was the best time, and he immediately slammed his body into the wolf cavalry next to him who wanted to draw his weapon, knocking the other party and the wolf to the ground.
The entire team of Northland captives exploded in an instant, and almost all the Northlanders who were able to fight rushed to the nearest enemy.
Soon the orcs were besieged by these captives, and their weapons were snatched and their lives were lost.
Moria also joined the battle group at this time, and with a wave of her hands, a large cloud of slippery grease instantly appeared at the front of the orc team, and those orcs who wanted to rush to the back to help were all hit, and they fell to the ground one after another, and some were even directly killed by the northlanders who rushed over.
"(Orc) Kill them, kill them!" The Eye of the Orc Geush roared angrily, and when he saw that his men were being besieged by the weak Northlanders, he immediately unleashed a spell on the crowd.
A Chaos Hammer swept through the Northlands behind like an invisible hand, and everyone who was hit by the spell fell to the ground screaming.
Then the orc shaman pointed to his besieged companion with a thoughtful expression, and the orc, who had already been unable to hold on, miraculously burst out with amazing strength, and forced the northlanders around him back with red eyes.
