73 Orc Night Attack
Walking to the city wall on the east side of the pass, the sharp-toothed beasts were indeed arranged in the place with the widest view of the city wall.
With these sensitive creatures, one can sleep peacefully. However, from the scattered patrols on the city wall, it can be seen that Renault did not fully follow the instructions left by Ciri and arranged night patrols for the auxiliaries.
It's not going to bother those slick guys.
For the purpose of fire prevention and related magic warfare, most of the city walls have windmills that draw water. A thick rope is attached to a windmill and another pillar. Outside the rope, there are also several humanoid armor racks, when the wind blows, the rope rotates back and forth, and those humanoid armor racks move like a patrol soldier, as long as the rope is cleverly tied, it can even move again and again all night.
Of course, Ciri would not say anything about this, unlike Renault, who had been trained in the regular army, he had never been exposed to war before. Whether it's the mercenaries' wild ways or the regular army's drills, as long as they can be used, any means can be used. After inspecting the eastern wall, it was the turn of the western wall near the side of Betnes City, after all, the northeast of the pass was the chaotic Dukedom of Brand, unless the orcs were willing to climb the Chigomararo Mountains and face all kinds of powerful monsters that no one had set foot in, they would definitely attack in the west of the pass.
And after arriving at the west side of the city wall, the sharp-toothed beast, the human-shaped armor shelf, is the same as the east, but he saw the seventh Bai chief Roger in a corner of the city wall? Murray. At this time, this old guy was using a knife to cut and eat a large piece of barbecue, and of course, there was naturally a bottle of wine with the aroma of wine by his side.
As soon as he saw Ciri coming, the old guy beckoned directly to him. "Would you like some of the best Chigo Mararo Mountain Dragon Roast?"
"Forget it, uncle, I'm not hungry now." Ciri replied. "But uncle, why did you come up to the city wall in the middle of the night?"
"I want to go up to the city wall on a whim, can't I?" Roger cut off a large piece of roast meat, threw it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
"Boy, during the day, you beat and punished those auxiliaries to suppress the arrogance, but you don't know the temperament of those bastards. If I don't come in person, do you think that just by killing a few leaders, they will be honest and obedient? Hmph, I'm really afraid that when I wake up, there will only be our own eighty or so numbers left in the pass. ”
Cerri's Silence.
"That's why you let these auxiliaries go up to the city wall to keep vigil at night, so that they don't have a chance to touch the city gates?"
"Am I not helpless?" Roger took a sip of his wine. "If Oakes and Gusti are all in the pass, why should Lao Tzu bother with this? Boy, why don't we make a bet on those auxiliaries escaping from the east or from the west? ”
"Uncle, you should think more about whether the orcs will come to attack us again." Ciri pouted noncommittally. "In the middle of the night, who has the spare time to bet on you about this...... Hey? Uncle, this is not right! ”
Even though it was just a casual remark, Cerri immediately noticed the problem! It's true that it's a New Moon today, but it's not completely out of sight. At least in Ciri's eyes, he had already found the overlapping dirt bags under the city!
This is a pass, a place where traders and people used to come and go. Besides, there is no dirt bag in this place during the day, and what appears now must be the disguise of the enemy!
Oh......
The sharp-toothed beast, which had been asleep for a long time, finally erupted into a roar of a stranger who had been discovered. The sharp-toothed beast just screamed, and Roger's side went straight to it! With a horizontal swing of the axe in his hand, a battle skill like an earthy yellow wall directly covered the entire city wall ten meters down!
Radiant and dirt splashing. Under the light of this light, all the green and huge figures were undoubtedly leaking!
It's an orc! No less than 3,000 orc legions!
At this moment, Ciri really didn't know what kind of feeling he felt in his heart! Drawing the knight's broadsword, his legs also rushed directly towards the alchemy siren set up on the city wall!
"Ciri, defend quickly!"
In the distance, Roger's voice could be heard faintly. Defend? Isn't it time to wake up the other defenders as the first priority? This thought just flashed through his mind, and Xi Rui still subconsciously directly supported his only military strategy defensive skill, mental shielding!
The faint blue light curtain enveloped his whole person, and the moment the light curtain closed, an extremely strange distortion suddenly appeared in the air. It's twisted like fire, but it's also very much like wind. It is said to be like fire because at the moment of distortion and descending, all the furnishings on the city wall, including the windmills, flags, and horses, emitted bursts of groans as if they were being burned by fire. Yin, like the wind, means that although Xi Rui supported his military strategy and combat skills for the first time. But he could still feel the strong pressure of his combat skills!
It seems that a century has passed before the invisible distortion and pressure completely dissipate.
The mental shield can be regarded as ensuring that Xi Rui is unharmed, but the previous defense still consumes the last bit of battle qi in his body. Not only is it strength and combat spirit, but heroes are also very different from people who are not heroes in terms of performing combat skills! Moreover, the military strategy skills released by the hero cannot activate the deduction function of the system! Fortunately, Siri had seen Roger fight in person before, and although he was shocked, he took out a bottle of stamina recovery potion from the storage ring as soon as possible.
The so-called physical strength recovery potion is not a combat skill that only restores physical strength, but of course two types of combat qi and physical strength. I drank one bottle, but I didn't feel that it was enough, so I poured two more bottles. As Siri was about to drink the fourth potion, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and before he even had time to put the potion into the storage ring, he hurriedly jumped into the bunker set up behind the city wall to avoid slings and crossbow arrows!
Rumble! Burst! Boom!
For a time, a symphony of stone-throwing and ballista resounded throughout the city wall. The magic and roars of the Sharptooth beasts, the shouts of the orcs beneath the city. Without any alarm, the defenders wouldn't be able to sleep! The others, along with the auxiliaries, made their way out of their lounges. Coupled with those sharp-toothed beasts who were woken up by the orcs, got up full of anger, and kept spitting magic balls into the city, the sneak attack of the orcs has become a joke.
But the battle is like this, not afraid of the plan being cracked, the most taboo hesitation. At least, these fighting orc heroes didn't hesitate at all. If the sneak attack fails, it will immediately become a strong attack! Although it was not easy, it also made it impossible for the defenders at the head of the city to suppress their heads.
