Chapter 23: Immortal Forest City Volunteer Army
"The city lord has an order, and at present, there are orcs who are in large numbers, and all the guards and warriors of the Merlin family have gathered in Xianlin City!"
A large number of heralds scattered on horseback, and the entire Xianlin County was boiling. Many people in Xianlin City have learned from the well-informed mercenaries that thousands of orcs are coming, and a large number of timid merchants or small nobles have packed up their gold and silver and moved their families to the hinterland of the eastern human race. Most of them gathered at the City Lord's Mansion to petition, and these people were mainly scattered mercenaries and martial civilians who had not joined the mercenary group. Xianlin County has always been a battle-for-war place between multiple forces to survive, and those who can survive here cannot be regarded as weak, and there are only a few cowards who run away before they fight.
These volunteers, who were willing to fight for their lives with the orcs, were grouped together with the family guards, and brought a force of 500 people to Lin Tian, including 2 level 4 warriors, 100 level 3 warriors, and the others were level 2 or even level 1. These 500 troops with low average quality cannot, of course, be compared to 1,000 orc elites with an average combat power of level 3. So although they were passionate and eager to fight, everyone actually knew in their hearts that if there were no reinforcements, these people would die.
Lin Tian, accompanied by four 3rd order guards, slowly walked towards these excited warriors, their eyes chasing the young lord.
"The Kingdom Courier has sent news that all parts of the country are under fierce attack by orcs, and they cannot send even a single soldier to support us!" The crowd was shaken, and after a moment of commotion fell silent, it was clear that the young baron had not finished speaking.
"But we have reinforcements, and it's a very powerful combination of elves and dwarves!" Lin Tian waved his hand vigorously, pointing in the direction he had just walked. At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, I don't know when, a beautiful female warrior of the elven clan immediately stood outside the door with the reins, and the mount was a rare Pegasus, this powerful female knight, obviously had the strength of a level 5 elite knight.
"Yes, Your Excellency Lin Tian Merlin. Our powerful elven troops have set off! ”
"Our dwarven troops have also set off, and there are hundreds of elite giant axe warriors, waiting for the orders of Your Excellency!" Behind the white divine steed Pegasus, a dwarf with a giant axe in his hand turned out, waving his weapon unto be outdone, and his voice was rough. At least level 3 or above in strength, many sharp-eyed mercenaries immediately judged it. If it is true as the messengers of these two nations say, then victory or defeat is a matter of two things. The volunteers found hope of victory, and their morale was shaken.
Lin Tian then arranged for the highest rank in the family, the 4th level cavalry Ryder, to be responsible for the simple formation of the volunteers, and after lunch, he marched southwest along the main road. For lunch, the old housekeeper was arranged to use the food in the city lord's mansion, plus the stored various demonic beast meat, and set up several cauldrons outside the mansion gate to entertain these brave volunteers. He quickly set off first and conducted reconnaissance in advance. In the evening, the young lord found the volunteers marching along the avenue and told Ryder to camp and rest.

In the previous upgrade, a certain house had already learned the ability of the primary war machine, but it was put on hold and did not build a blacksmith shop, and now it finally works. Buy 3 types of war machines with one brain, 1000 gold each. 70,100 gold remaining.
Lin Tian summoned 140 pikemen, 90 dwarven warriors, 110 archers, 30 guards, and 20 priests in a no-man's land, and led the team to join the volunteers...... This is the only way for orcs to attack Xianlin City, the road is wide, and there are dense forests on both sides, which is very convenient for elven warriors to ambush.
The command team lined up here, and the backbone of the road was lined up by 90 dwarven warriors in a thick defensive formation, with 30 guards arranged at intervals in between, followed by 20 priests who were in good positions to attack and heal, and in the rear was a dense archer camp. Lin Tian consciously pulled the pikemen to the rear of the team and moved out of the way of the two flanks. Fill the volunteer soldiers on both wings, since they have participated in the battle, they should contribute, of course, Lin Tian also hides selfishness, this is also for his own troops to share the damage.
The soldiers didn't let the soldiers wait too long, and the orc troops, who thought they were powerful, plundered the entire village, and then went straight to the direction of Xianlin City......
The catapult with the longest range in the back row spoke first, and the huge stone was thrown into the air with a strong force, and then roared and smashed at the orcs, which was used to smash huge stone projectiles through the city wall, mercilessly smashing the enemies who could not avoid them into flesh, and then under the action of strong inertia, they jumped and rolled into the distance, crushing a group of unlucky ghosts. The actual lethality is limited, but the deterrent power is off the charts.
Immediately after the dull bowstring sound of the ballista, a huge crossbow arrow, the size of the basic catch up with the spear, quickly stabbed straight ahead, the orcs in the charge had no sense of dodging at all, and were penetrated in an instant, and the remaining strength was inserted into the nostrils of the most rearmost cat man, this poor dwarf cat man was only half waist tall of the pig-headed man in front, and it was possible to dodge it with quick movements, but because he wanted to use the stupid pig-headed people as meat shields, the result was unobstructed, and the death was unknown.
The 20 priests began to chant, and the 20 small ice spikes that appeared in an instant fell from the sky at a very fast speed, and the cat-man warriors who couldn't dodge were directly killed in an instant, they were quick but still unable to avoid this sudden air attack, and the fatal shortcomings of life weakness were undoubtedly exposed at this moment. Instead, the hulking pigman warriors roared forward, sluggish but vital and equipped with armor that could kill them with a small ice bullet.
"Buzz!" A short and neat sound of bowstrings came, and 110 archers unleashed their scattering skills in unison, and the arrows in the sky obscured the sun for a moment, densely covering a large area of the orc troops. But unfortunately, only a very small number of unlucky ghosts really died, and while the scattering skill brought about a 3-fold increase in arrow density, it also greatly reduced the lethality, and the level of these orcs was not lower than that of archers, so they couldn't do instant kills.
The ranged troops only had time to fire 2 salvos, and the brave orcs in the front row stepped on the corpses all over the ground and slammed into the Terran defense line.
The brutal civil war has begun!
