Chapter 351: Hand-to-hand combat

Soon, the army of orcs had already assaulted the city of Riptide Castle, and one by one the hideous orcs swarmed up, slamming the gates of Riptide Castle with their bodies and weapons.

The heavy iron-clad gate creaked under the violent impact, but De Jong was not very worried that the gate would be breached; Although the main body of the city gate is wooden, there is no way to break through the city gate without a large enough rushing car and hitting wood; Regardless of where the orcs landed from, they came from afar and were unlikely to carry too heavy siege equipment, and the Arathi Heights lacked large forests, and naturally there were no thick enough logs near Riptide Fort to make them.

In addition to attacking the city gate, many orcs also put away their blades and struggled to climb the city wall along both sides of the city gate, with the help of some irregular protruding city bricks and gaps in the city wall.

Fort Riptide was built on the basis of Riptide City, the royal city of the Araso Empire, on the one hand, it has been war-torn during the founding of the Kingdom of Stormgard, and on the other hand, it has never been threatened by military forces after the kingdom of Stormgard, and it has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and there are many gaps in the walls of the city wall, which is not difficult to climb.

Soon, the side of the walls of Riptide Castle facing the outside of the city was crawling with orcs trying to reach the city.

"Let go of the throwing stones!" This was observed by the gap in the walls of De Jong Tong Guò, who gave a loud order to his men.

With a loud bang, the stones were pushed down from the battlements and fell straight down the walls of the wall; These stones were all used by De Jong to take advantage of the precious time that the orcs had not yet attacked. Demolished the walls of the city near the dwellings obtained.

A scream came from under the walls, and De Jong knew that it was the orcs who were climbing on the walls that had been hit by a stone. The sound made when you fall to the ground.

Fearing that they would injure their own vanguard, the orcs had long since stopped shooting at Fort Riptide; De Jong can also safely poke his head out and see what kind of results the defense has achieved this time.

There are a lot fewer orcs on the walls of the city wall, and they should all be thrown down by stones; However, below the city walls, there were still dense groups of orcs waiting to climb the city walls.

It was not too easy to demolish the dwellings, and the stones and rolling logs were not so easy to obtain, plus there was no time. The slings prepared by De Jong were used up in just a few rounds of attrition.

"Prepare for battle!" De Jong shouted, took two steps back, and raised his two-handed greatsword in his hand. Quietly waiting for the first orcs to ascend the walls.

"Whew!"

With a strange scream, not far from De Jong's side, an orc took the lead in climbing the city wall; Its thick green arms rested on the battlements, its knotted muscles tense. The fanged blood basin roared in awe. Trying to climb to the top of the city.

"Die, monster!" One of the palace guards shouted, and the spear in his hand stabbed out with all the force, stabbing the orc in the head.

The terrible howl before death resounded in the night sky, but the palace guard remained unmoved, calmly stepped on the wall with one foot, and pulled his spear out of the orc's head with a forceful tug.

The orc's eyes protruded. The eyeballs are almost falling out; The hideous expression on its face remained, but the fierce look in its eyes gradually dimmed.

In the middle of the forehead. A large circular wound kept flowing red and white liquid, and soon, its hands lost strength, and its huge claws loosened the bricks at the head of Riptide Castle, and it leaned back weakly, and its body fell to the ground.

The first orc to ascend the city died, but more orcs were attacking the head of Riptide Castle; The palace guards approached the walls and kept using their spears and swords to make large and small wounds in the bodies of the orcs exposed to the walls, driving the enemy off the walls.

However, the orcs were not completely powerless to fight back, many orcs relied on their strong bodies, but put their hands on the city wall, and the feet hanging outside the city wall kicked the wall violently, and the whole body flew up to the city with strength.

As more and more orcs leapt onto the city, the palace guards began to fall into a bitter battle; They could no longer kill orcs from a high position, and were instead forced to engage orcs in hand-to-hand combat.

Luckily, King Soras's court guards were selected from the most elite legions, and each of them had a strong individual combat ability, and their height and size were even comparable to most orcs.

Relying on their strong physique, the palace guards fought evenly with the advance troops of the orcs; With the flickering of the sword and the shadow of the sword, corpses fell, both human and orc, and the blood flowed in the aisles of the city wall, merging into a red stream, making the entire city wall diffuse with a smell of earth.

"Die, monster, how dare you set foot on my territory!" King Solas roared and smashed the head of an orc with his hammer, the massive green head exploding like a watermelon, splashing King Solas all over the face.

However, the king did not have time to wipe his eyes, and after recovering his eyesight a little, he roared and pounced on the other opponent.

At the side of King Soras, Garin? Tolbain wielded his two-handed broadsword and took a steady step at his feet, wrestling with his opponent in a measured manner.

It was only then that Prince Garin understood the strength of the orcs, a monster with strength and speed far beyond that of humans, and even Garin, who had received good military training from a very young age, could not deal with it with the slightest carelessness.

"Hah!"

Garin roared, a powerful slash that pushed his opponent back, and he was about to take advantage of the victory when he found a golden hammer slashing from the side, cutting a bloody hole in his opponent's chest.

"Father!" Garin stopped his movements, looked at King Solas who had snatched his opponent, and shouted—and the latter was panting with his hands on his hammer, with a triumphant expression on his face.

"You're moving too slowly, Garin, learn more from me, you're still young!" King Solas boasted unashamedly in front of his son.

Garin didn't speak, he lunged at his father, and stabbed his two-handed sword into his own father in the stunned eyes of King Soras...... behind him.

The sound of the blade entering the body seemed silent on the noisy battlefield, and King Solas turned around and saw an orc holding up the battle axe in his hand, trying to sneak up on his back, but was stabbed in the chest by Garin's two-handed greatsword, and bright red blood foam was constantly flowing from the corner of the orc's mouth, its body shook, and then fell to the ground as Garin drew back his greatsword.
