Chapter 103: The Fire Rises
87_87410The Hammer of Justice chases and runs with the orc Shugersh, all the way to Dagger Ridge, during which Twilight and the others encounter many orc troops who have retreated first.
Twilight doesn't care about the other Orcs troops, and if Shugersh is going to take other paths, Twilight doesn't care at all, what he wants to do is to block the Orc's normal westward retreat.
As she carried the Hammer of Justice past most of the fleeing orc troops, Twilight's wise choice slowed down, after all, the long run was a great burden on the horses under her crotch.
Time passed, and when the sun stopped in the middle, Twilight and the others had already seen Dagger Ridge in the distance, and it was only then that Twilight took the Hammer of Justice to increase her speed.
As the so-called Wangshan ran dead horses, when Twilight and the others came to Dagger Ridge, an hour had passed, looking at the continuous Dagger Ridge, Twilight directly urged the war horse to follow the three-meter-wide mountain road leading to Dagger Ridge.
As they make their way up the mountain path, Twilight soon hears shouts of killing, but it is the orc Shugesh, led by Garmor, attacking the stone castle halfway up the mountain.
There was originally a team of orcs left behind in the stone castle, but there were not many of them, and the garrison was also very loose, and no one would have thought that humans would directly send people to cut off the back road of the orcs, which even Gamor did not expect, and when he found that the stone fort was occupied by humans, Gammor chose to attack as soon as possible, and he wanted to open the road of Dagger Ridge for the clansmen behind.
"Hammer of Justice, charge with me!" Twilight, who watched the attacked Stone Castle, immediately began to roar in war, and at the same time urged the war horse to start speeding towards the orc Shugesh.
According to the idea of the orc chief Gamor, he originally wanted to attack the stone fort before the hammer of justice chased, but the troops led by Ranks and Devarrea could not be defeated so easily in a short time, and the hammer of justice seemed to come a little fast, and it didn't give Gamor so much time at all.
At this time, looking at the hammer of justice that started to fight as soon as they met, Gamor had no choice but to lead the orcs to turn back and deal with the hammer of justice that rushed over.
However, although Gamor Thunder Roar is a hero-level powerhouse, it is not so easy to defeat the 6,000 Hammer of Justice with less than 4,000 Shugosh orc troops, and none of the Hammer of Justice is afraid of death, you must know that there are enough ants to bite the elephant to death, as evidenced by the Bear Patriarch Nosmara, and there are also Ranks and Devarrea who are eyeing the stone castle in the rear, and it is the two of them who have joined forces to resist Gammor Thunder's Roar.
After a brief confrontation between the two sides, leaving behind many corpses of Shugersh and the Hammer of Justice, Shugersh retreated, and Twilight and the others successfully joined up with Lanks and Divalea, who had killed the Stone Castle.
At this time, Lanx wanted to continue to pursue Gamor, you must know that it was the orc chieftain, if he could kill it, it would definitely be a great achievement, but he was stopped by Twilight, with their people, even if they can really kill Gamor, I am afraid that their side will suffer heavy casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses.
After convincing Lanx, Twilight and the others simply cleaned up the battlefield and carried all the wounded soldiers into the stone castle, and after entering the castle, Twilight directly ordered the Hammer of Justice to rest on the spot and recover quickly, while he personally commanded the other soldiers to arrange some simple fortifications, and they had to guard against the possible attack of the Orcs in the future.
Dagger Ridge is a must-pass place for the Kurtra and Smutoo Federations, so it is also a gathering place for those robbers who make a living by robbing, and the stone fort is a transit point for merchants walking between the two countries, of course, the defense is not too bad, at least it has a complete city wall, but it looks a little short.
Standing on the walls of the stone castle, feeling the northerly wind blowing in front of her, Twilight looked at the surrounding mountains and thought about it, and said to Ranks, Dawn and the others beside her: "Now it depends on whether the orcs are coming from other parts of Dagger Ridge or coming to attack the stone castle!"
"What if we attack the Stone Fort?" Divarrea asked.
"If the orcs attack here, we will have to defend until our reinforcements arrive." Twilight said that if the orcs really came to attack the stone fort, they could only defend it, but Twilight felt that the odds of the orcs attacking the stone fort were not very high, and they didn't have so much time to waste here.
Time passed slowly, the sun gradually turned west, and Twilight, who had been guarding the city wall, turned to Lanx and Devarrea and said, "It should be almost time, Brother Lanks, you and Divarrea will now go down the mountain to reconnoiter and see if there are any orcs gathered under Dagger Ridge."
Hearing Twilight's words, Lanks and Divarea, who had been a little impatient for a long time, did not hesitate, and when they rushed down the mountain with the two Hammer of Justice hundreds, and at this time the others around Twilight knew that it was about to be the most critical time, Hassett and Fred and the others couldn't help but have a trace of excitement on their faces.
About half an hour later, just as Twilight was waiting a little anxiously, Ranks and Devarrea returned, bringing back the news he wanted for Twilight, and there was not a single orc to be seen down the mountain.
After hearing this, Twilight knew that the orc Great Chieftain, who was known as the Strategist, did not realize his plan, and immediately Twilight said, "Okay, according to our previous plan, each of us will take a team of people to set fire to Dagger Ridge in a while."
"So what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Fred said a little too much to wait.
"Don't worry!" Stopping Fred in impatience, Twilight takes a box from Zagreel's hand and sees two dozen red stones inside.
Twilight pointed to the stones and said, "This is a low-quality flame gem made by Zagrel improvised, it has an unstable fire element in it, and if it is broken, it will ignite everything in the surrounding area, two pieces per person, remember, I want the entire Dagger Ridge to burn."
Listening to Twilight's words, Lanks, Divalea, Hasset, Fred, Odowson, Arras, and the other four Hammer of Justice leaders stepped forward one after another, and each took two pieces.
"Let's do it! If the orcs are hit hard this time, you will be the hero of Darius, and even the entire human race, for Darius. Twilight encouraged.
"For Darius!" Everyone repeated, and then walked briskly down the walls and began to move, leaving Dawn, Setis, and Zagreel alone.
Seeing a thousand members of the Hammer of Justice scattered into the mountains of Dagger Ridge, Twilight reached out and felt the direction of the downwind and whispered, "What a good north wind, it seems that even God is helping us, I just don't know how many orcs will be left after this time."
"After this time, I think the orcs will not dare to fight against us again for a long time." Dawn also said.
Nodding, this time it might be hard for the orcs, but Twilight knows that this is not the end, the seeds of hatred have long been planted between humans and orcs, and as long as the orcs don't destroy the race, they will come back sooner or later.
At this time, just as a few people were talking, they saw a trace of small flames begin to appear on Dagger Ridge, first in the distance, and then in a closer direction, which means that the scattered people who set the fire are setting fire while walking back.
The flames spread quickly, and when the scattered people returned, the flames had turned into a raging fire, and quickly spread around, at this time the wind direction was northerly, the wind helped the fire, and the fire was blown by the wind in the direction of the orc's escape, that is, the southwest direction quickly swept away, Twilight believed that at this speed, even if the orcs were not burned to death, they would be killed by the billowing smoke.
And just when Twilight sent someone to set it on fire, Gamor, who had already entered Dagger Ridge with the orcs, also felt faintly wrong at this time, he was thinking about why the humans occupied the stone fort, and the occupation of the stone fort could not block the orcs at all, the human commander would not be unaware of this, but why did he send people to the Dagger Ridge stone fort!
Gammor vaguely felt that he might have overlooked something, but let Gamor think, Gammor couldn't think for a while, if only the High Priest Voga Storm Sound was here, it was estimated that he would give himself a little advice!
Gamore was thinking about the commotion when suddenly a noise came from behind.
"Fire, it's on fire!"
Hearing the shouts of the orcs behind him, Gamore turned his head and saw the billowing smoke rising in the air and the flames that quickly swept towards them in the distance, and for a moment Gamore figured out the purpose of the human occupation of the stone castle, they were to force themselves and their people into the Dagger Ridge, and with a fire, they directly forced their own people to death.
What a vicious plan, Gamor, who figured out a qiē in just a moment, was full of hideousness, and saw him shouting: "Run, don't look back, run."
Hearing Gamor's words, the orcs around him also reacted, and hurriedly beckoned the other clansmen to flee together.
But will the orcs be able to outrun the fire with the help of the wind? The answer was no, but as time passed, the fire was getting closer and closer to the fleeing orcs, and Garmor's brain couldn't help but spin rapidly, thinking about countermeasures.
