490. Chapter 490: Battle

As the sun began to set west and the temperature began to drop, Roddy's team finally broke through the sporadic undead and reached the bottom of the Cohen Mountains, and began to climb non-stop.

There are some traces of artificiality at the foot of the mountain, apparently left by the mining team. However, at this time, there were only a few overseers left behind in these temporary camps, and they looked at the team in front of them for unknown reasons, and before they could speak, they were carried aside by several barbarian soldiers with tall cattle and horses—the food and water in the camp were immediately told to be "requisitioned", and almost in the blink of an eye, they were all distributed.

"Who are you? This is Viscount Anru..."

Before he finished speaking, he closed his mouth, because the eyes of the nobles around him were like blades—Anru and Senna had long been classified as the number one traitors by these nobles, so these subordinates were rightfully labeled the same.

If they could, everyone would want to cut them with a thousand cuts.

At this time, Pintail Snipe reappeared in view, and the news brought by Nata made people's spirits tense even more: the orc team had left Pacaro City, gathered more than 400 men, and hurried towards the Cohen Mountains!

"Judging by the time, they can catch up here in an hour and a half..."

"Enough. ”

Roddy nodded expressionlessly.

"The undead are also gathering in this direction, because there is no formed group, and I can't tell when they will arrive..."

"It doesn't matter, you take the duck and rest for a while, and you'll be around here to watch later. Luo Di barely stopped, waved his hand and continued to order: "All men move forward immediately! Bring food and water as much as possible, and leave immediately!"

The team continued its march up the hill, this time led by Roddy. He was in a good position, because the mine had just been mined, and many of the roads were just newly explored paths, but Roddy ignored these roads at all, and took the team out of the other way, and rushed to a mine halfway up the mountain at a faster speed.

This is one of the several "Fuser Silver Mines" mined by Viscount Anru, and from the data displayed at last night's auction, it is the largest number of "Fuser Silver" mines in the entire mountain range, but at the moment there is no bustling scene here, but only a group of Viscount Anru's investigation team is busy inside and outside the mine.

"What about the miners here?"

When Sally asked this question, the members of the investigation team all looked at each other, they had no idea why Lord Evta was here, and they all kept silent.

Sodrore had no nonsense about this, and several methods were used to quickly make them confide in the truth: "Duke, Duke... We don't know where they went, last night there were more than 300 people working normally, but today all of them are missing..."

"There were no traces at the scene, only trailing footprints on the ground, as if some people had been dragged into the mine. ”

Roddy was looking down at the edge of the mine, but he was relieved, but the others were all puzzled, not knowing what it meant.

"Bring all the food here! Take as many of those manuscripts as you want, and get out of here in five minutes!"

"Leave?"

Sally looked around, it was a condescending place, and the wooden fence of the makeshift camp was used as a protection, which was an excellent place to defend and counterattack.

"Well, let's go. ”

Roddy didn't bother to explain to others, but he said one more word to Sally: "Don't think it's safe here, on the contrary... This is the most dangerous place. ”

After taking a few steps, Akasha happened to come over, and Roddy showed an inquiring gaze, "Arrived?"

The latter nodded tacitly, and the exchange was so brief that no one around understood the meaning.

By this time, no one in the team would question him, and they quickly picked up their pickaxes and began to climb the path pointed out by Roddy.

The whole team didn't have too many people to bear the logistics, because the incident happened suddenly, and they didn't have any baggage at all. Fortunately, the food looted from the camp at this time was enough for 400 people to barely eat, otherwise tomorrow not to talk about "fighting", whether or not they could stand up is another matter.

The afterglow of the sun turned the clouds in the sky golden red, but no one sighed at the beauty, and they all gritted their teeth and climbed up.

The gentle terrain of the Cohen Mountains does not apply here at all, and it is precisely because of this that the team can carry the horses all the way. After leaving the cave on the mountainside, the vegetation on the mountain became sparse, because of the cold temperature this year, only a few weeds had just grown, and there were few trees in the upper spots. After walking for 300 meters, people were surprised to find that a huge rock "platform" appeared above the mine!

Although it is full of weeds, anyone with a little discerning can see that the terrain is not ordinary: it is not large, only 200 meters square horizontally and vertically, but if you want to go up, you have to go up a large 30-meter-long uphill.

In other words, if you defend on the ramp, the difference in strength between the two sides will be completely erased in this local area, which is only about seven meters wide.

The appearance of such a "treasure land" made the nobles call them lucky, but when someone looked at Roddy, they found that there was no surprise on his face at all, as if he was just "revisiting the old place"...

"Sodrore, transfer all the people up! Erwin, take a few people over there and cut down some trees, about three meters is enough, I want twenty! Those who have a pickaxe in their hands will stay and dig a trench, as deep as they can dig!"

On the narrow mountain road, the team began to distribute in a chaotic manner, but fortunately, Sodrol was born to be the material for the commander's dispatch, and the team that he had divided in advance was quickly and orderly arranged in the sound of orders.

Four hundred men is not much, because the presence of two hundred horses is a bit chaotic - after the rapid transfer to the platform, the noble private army began to assist in handling food and building a defensive line, and the bishop of the "Rosicrucifix" together with Sally and Akasha properly placed the seventy wounded in the central area, while Roddy led the men to erect a wall to clear the field, blocking the only uphill slope leading to the platform with a trench to prevent the direct impact of the wolf cavalry.

"They're coming!"

While the team was methodically preparing for battle, a baron who looked up at the foot of the mountain suddenly spoke up.

People looked up one after another, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the fast-moving figure of the orc wolf cavalry had already entered the foot of the Cohen Mountains from the edge of the "Da Vinci Forest", and at this time, Roddy's team could see each other, and the other party naturally noticed them. When this was confirmed, the wolf cavalry stopped squeezing their mounts' stamina, jumped off the wolves, and began to slowly march up the hill.

In Godard's eyes, these humans have become the stuff of the bag.

In the distance, one after another swaying figures were moving from all directions towards the foot of the mountain. These "zombies" are the lowest combat units among the undead according to their type, but their power is not their own attack power, but the "corpse poison" they carry - if they are not purified in time, the bitten person will basically die in less than two hours.

These "zombies" are not to be feared, but when they appear in hundreds, thousands, they are a great threat.

"Roddy... Will we really make it through?"

Sally's face was full of tiredness, she was exhausted from running around all day, at this time she no longer considered the eyes of the nobles around her, reached out and held Roddy's palm, and looked at the foot of the mountain with some distraction, "Four hundred wolf cavalry, thousands of undead... I really didn't expect to be besieged by them inside the kingdom. ”

"The enemies are many, strong, but not invincible. Roddy knew that Sally had no bottom in her heart, so he opened his arms and gently hugged her, and said softly, "Not only will we be able to survive, but we will also counterattack and completely destroy them." ”

Sally only took it as comfort, nodded, closed her eyes and sighed in his arms.

The nobles had forgotten to be surprised by the relationship between Roddy and Sally at this time, they just stared at the enemy who was several times their size, and waited for the fate of the next one with trepidation...

"It's getting dark. ”

Roddy hugged Sally, looking down at the city of Pacaro in the distance, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the city that should have sheltered them red, and when he looked at it from afar, it seemed to smear the ground with blood...

Twenty minutes later, the first wave of the orcs' offensive arrived as scheduled.

Thanks to the fact that Rodi did not abandon his armor in order to speed up his speed, the barbarian soldiers were still in full gear at this time, and they stood in three columns on the seven-meter-wide ramp with steel tower shields in their hands, with the second and third reserves in the rear, and the other soldiers who were hurrying to rest and replenish their food.

The nobles, although not arranged, were heavily armed and existed as the last reserves.

Even Catherine was armed with a dagger, and though she knew it might be of little use, she didn't mind fighting it when it came to the point of exhaustion.

"Resist the attack! When it gets completely dark, they won't be a threat!"

Standing on the saddle of the "Train King", Roddy looked down at the more than 100 orcs rushing in front of him in a "moving turret" posture, the horn bow in his hand slightly raised, but his eyes made brief contact with the strong orc overseer in the distance...

"It's Godard..."

His pupils shrank, and he was extremely surprised: the name "Godard" is not a small role in memory, it is the first fierce general under the seat of Sauron, the "King of Ten Thousand Axes", with excellent strength, but he is conceited and arrogant, and he is a ruthless character who is extremely difficult to control.

It stands to reason that the other party will only appear in the war in 593, why did they rush into the kingdom with so many orcs at this time?

The doubts in his heart have not yet been answered, and the orcs in front of him have already approached within sixty meters, Roddy no longer thinks about it, and the arrows in his hands have already been set up!

"Crush them!"

"The Sarota clan will win!"

Even though more than a dozen people fell on the way to the charge, this group of high-spirited guys still rushed up the long slope, they roared over the trench, and pounced on the barbarian soldiers in the first row with rudimentary weapons in hand...
