Chapter 526: Infiltration

"This bunch of useless garbage!"

Overseer Racol's frustrated curses were quickly drowned out by the noise of the battlefield, and he flicked his whip in anger and the sound of the whip calmed the morale-turbulent front for a while. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But that doesn't stop him from being disappointed by the fact that his orc soldiers have failed to storm the walls for the fifth time, and even some of the soldiers who tried to escape have been whipped down by him on the spot...

The long whip with a metal whip tail more than seven meters long is full of power, and it is comparable to a sword when it is drawn, and several unlucky deserters are screaming miserably by being whipped on the spot, but this still can't stop the current negative situation!

He didn't want to give up!

With the logistical baggage troops, the Racol Overseer had nearly 4,000 orc men outside the fortress. But in the face of the turtle-like city wall, the orcs had nowhere to start for two days, so they could only pile up more and more corpses under the city wall, and watch their morale continue to decline...

The orcs of the steppe never built any fortresses or castles. And their combat skills are greatly limited by this: charging on the plains and hand-to-hand combat is fine, but climbing the walls of fortresses and forcing their way up against falling boulders and hot oil is something that orcs have never done.

Therefore, even if the fortress wall in front of him is only seven meters high, it has still become a "heavenly moat" in the eyes of the orcs.

"Are you going to just go back? Zoro is going to look down on me for that..."

Racol prides himself on having a large number of warriors, making him the most powerful of the remaining Overseers. He listened to Sauron's dispatch on the surface, but he always commanded the specific battles himself, and he didn't pay attention to Sauron's suggestions. However, the current situation gave him a headache.

If this attack fails, his leadership prestige will definitely be greatly reduced, which is not what a power-hungry Overseer would want to see.

While Racol was distressed about the siege, a messenger galloping from the main army hurried in front of Racol, and sent a message from Sauron - although the orcs had writing, more than ninety percent of them were illiterate, so most orders were written by mouth.

Racol's brows furrowed after listening to Sauron's order, but at the moment he had no room to refuse, and finally after thinking for a while, he decided to follow the order of the Great Chief: "Retreat!

The so-called Overseers, in fact, don't know much about military orders. Racol's command was still the primitive method of grasping directly from top to bottom in the tribe, but his subordinates were relieved by the order to retreat, and they withdrew from the city wall as quickly as possible, and then gathered their troops and marched in the direction indicated by Racoor.

A day's later, a team of more than 3,500 people surrounded another fortress forty kilometers away, which Racol had not noticed before, and at this time, it seemed that the wall in front of him was much shorter than the previous one, and the humans defending it did not seem to be as dense as before.

Obviously, this is a small fortress with weak defenses.

This time, Racol was not in a hurry to attack, because after a team of orcs who had returned from the main force arrived, they actually began to cut wood and materials nearby, and made a "cloud ladder" on the spot!

Orcs can't be stupid and are really mentally retarded, in the previous battles, they would also make simple wooden ladders to assist the attack in order to attack the city, but because of the lack of experience in manufacturing siege equipment, successive defeats were inevitable. But now, this team quickly built six or seven rudimentary folding ladders - the orcs couldn't make wheels, so they simply pushed dozens of orcs under the city walls by brute force, although the behavior seemed ridiculously silly, but the siege that followed suddenly made the fortress precarious...

Because this is the first time that an orc has been able to stand on the walls of a human fortress!

If it weren't for the extraordinary skills of the knights defending the city, I am afraid that the orcs would be able to capture the fortress in the third attack.

Smoke lit up, and the critically studded fortress immediately sought support from nearby friendly forces. The eight nearby Evta knights immediately ordered troops to rush out of the city to help—the days of defending the city had made these knights abandon their initial fear of orcs, and now their minds were no longer thinking about the strength and savagery of orcs, but full of yearning for meritorious deeds.

A total of about 100 cavalry troops and 700 infantry troops quickly rushed to the fortress in a fierce battle. And the Overseer of Racol was naturally ready for battle, and rushed over with the wolf cavalry in person, and killed these Evta knights with a single face!

The orcs don't have the principle of "the commander doesn't go to the battlefield", they only recognize the strong and don't recognize anything else, Racol can dominate a 10,000-level tribe, and the strength is not at all something that ordinary knights can stop...

"Hahahaha, kill them all!

Racol was in a very good mood, and the human cavalry in front of him, who seemed to be quite well equipped, was much easier to deal with than a difficult fortress. For the orcs who are the best at land warfare, they would rather hedge against these human cavalry every day than climb the ladder to attack the city - but in just three rounds, eight Ivota knights were hacked to death by Racol's battle axe!

The morale of the troops who came to help suddenly collapsed, and the knights in the fortress who originally wanted to send reinforcements also stopped thinking of going out of the city to attack... They watched as the orc troops rushed back and forth like wheat harvesting to kill the reinforcements of nearly a thousand people, but there was no way at all.

The "militiamen" of Evta, who had never experienced war, performed extremely poorly, and could even be described as abandoning their armor and dragging their heads and scurrying around. It was not uncommon for three or five people to be chased away by an orc, and then it was simply a one-sided slaughter.

Racol vented his resentment for days, but weakened the siege with all his might to deal with reinforcements. At this moment, another group of more than 300 cavalry roared in and cut into Racol's team from the side!

Because of the continuous melee, there was no formation and formation on the battlefield for a long time, so this cavalry team under the banner of the Wellington knights immediately caused a large number of casualties among the orcs. Seeing this, Racol immediately led the guards to rush forward, but the leading Wellington knights did not like to fight at all, and after leading his troops to kill and wound the orcs outside the city walls, he decisively covered the team and the remnants of the army into the fortress.

Wellington's cavalry was far more powerful than the knights who had been defeated before, and Racol couldn't organize his troops in a hurry, so he could only watch as the fortress was replenished with nearly three hundred elite veterans.

After another day of fruitless attack, Racol finally gave up the attack and shifted his target with the remnants and the few remaining baggage.

The battle gave Ivetta its first mass casualty, with more than six hundred dead. Had it not been for Wellington's timely assistance, thousands of people in the fort would have been slaughtered - a good result, but not a good sign for the knights of Titus and Sally in Hollier.

"The orcs seem to have suddenly become smarter..."

Titus made this judgment as he looked at the movements of the orcs on the sand table.

Unbeknownst to him, this was exactly what Sauron had done after receiving a mysterious letter.

As the High Chief, Sauron knew what the letter meant. However, the enemy suddenly sent a letter containing territory information and blueprints for the construction of the siege ladder, and he preferred to believe that it was a trap.

But whether it's a trap or not, you have to step on it to know. So Sauron asked Racol, the most powerful Overseer, to test it, and if it was a trap, he could consume some more of Racol's troops... But he didn't expect that if Racol hadn't had enough experience in siege, he would have almost captured a fortress directly!

Even if it was not captured in the end, the record of killing hundreds of humans was solid, and it was indisputable that the morale of the entire tribe was revived. It was true that Sauron was excited, but looking at the pile of letter paper in his hand, he thought more:

Who among the human race is against Roddy?

What is the purpose of these people to give themselves this letter?

His gaze rested on the southeast side of Evta's territory in the letter... Obviously, the answer is not difficult for Sauron to guess.

"Is that the orc camp over there?"

Merinthera's voice was clear and calm in the darkness.

"Well, the main force of the orcs is there, and I think an old friend of mine is there. ”

Roddy turned his head to see that the campfire-lined orc camp was not far from the Cohen Fortress in the north. As far as the eye can see, the camp is quite neatly planned, which is exactly the same as some of the camping methods in King Karen ****. This kind of management ability is obviously not something that ordinary orcs can do.

"Old friends?"

"I've fought a few times, and now he should be the big chief of the entire orc army. ”

By nightfall, Roddy and his party had left the area where Elson City was located, but instead of heading north into the Gondola Mountains, they followed the edge of the Nehemian savannah toward the east side of the mountains. Because of the high terrain, when you look at the border fortress in the distance, you can clearly see the movement of the orc army.

However, he didn't think the orcs could do anything to Evta, so he didn't bother to think about what Zoro was doing. The speed of the marching team in the dark was naturally due to the various enchantments and buffs used by the accompanying mages - the load of the barbarian soldiers was close to zero due to the long application of the "levitation technique". At the same time, they don't have to worry about their visibility, and they can go all the way up faster than a normal army can march in a daytime.

After two days and two nights of travel, Roddy bypassed the Tasman's inherent defensive line in the Gondola Mountains and the radiation reconnaissance area of the fortress, and unwittingly climbed over a low, hidden valley in the Gondola Mountains in one night, following the path confirmed by Houdini through "prophecy".

Even Roddy sighed at Houdini's powerful prophecy spell, because he had only heard of several similar paths that could avoid the undead's surveillance, but he didn't expect this magister to be able to directly pinpoint it to the map, with an error of no more than fifty meters!

The narrowest part of the valley was only two meters, and the barbarian soldiers marching side by side could only walk sideways, and Erwin, who followed Roddy like a humanoid tank, could only cross alone. There were a few obstacles along the deep and winding path, but none of them were a problem for the mage - eventually, as the damp rain came in, Roddy's party entered the realm of the Tasman kingdom without realizing it...
