Chapter 534: The Stage

The "Fortress of Tubek" is a small and inconspicuous town in the outer defense line of Ivotah. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The entire fortress stood alone on the plain, the area was not large, and it was extremely crowded after the 3,000 people were stuffed. The fortress was not very high, with neither turrets nor wide moats, and looked like one of the weakest fortresses in the entire defensive line.

However, such a lonely fortress resisted the attack of the orcs for three days in a row, and forced the other party to retreat because the battle was not progressing.

The villagers who had retreated from the periphery of the city were no longer panicked at first, and they could not help but feel at ease when they looked at the tall figure on the city wall, because when the enemies rushed up the wall, these civilians found that the so-called "strong orcs" were not as tall as the soldiers guarding the city wall, and the screaming orcs were smashed in the head by a group of large men like steel cans before they could even let go of a fart...

Then the orcs retreated, and the world was quiet.

For three days, the civilians inside the fortress had thought that the war was over, but when they approached the barracks near the city walls, they could still feel the atmosphere of slaughter. Whenever soldiers in silver light armor patrolled by, the civilians would unconsciously lower their voices.

But the atmosphere inside the barracks is the other extreme.

The fortress is cold all year round because of its stone closed structure, and the favorite thing for the soldiers to do is to bask in the sun when the sun is shining. They look like animals that have just woken up from hibernation, and chatting under the warm sun has become a daily "must".

"Captain Davidian, did you say the orcs would still come?"

Taylor, a recruit who had just been in the army for three months, asked, wiping Davidian's metal helmet with a rag, the glow shining in the sunlight.

"If you come, you will fight, if you don't come, we will rest, what else?" Davidian didn't open his eyes, and he had a grass stalk in his mouth, "These greenskins came to more than 4,000 and died 4 or 500 and ran away, are they still going to pile up 10,000 people to come and fight our little fortress? ”

"Tsk, it's true that the captain said this, those fools don't seem to be powerful except for their loud voices, and no matter how much they come, they will be given away for nothing. ”

Taylor wasn't boasting, he really had this feeling - although he had only trained for more than three months and fought for three days to defend the city, his mentality had changed from the initial anxiety to calm... Without him, who would be afraid when the terrifying enemy in his mind was easily hacked to death by himself more than ten times?

There were also a few recruits next to him who echoed a few words, and Davidian watched this group of recruits who had never been on the battlefield mature up, and he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, but he still warned: "You stupid boys who don't know the height of the sky, do you really think that you will be invincible if you kill a few orcs?

"Then when you encounter this kind of person, can you only rely on Lord Roddy?"

"Not necessarily, look over thereβ€”" David nodded as the soldiers looked over and could see three robed mages sitting and talking, their clothes in a very different style from the Karen Kingdom, the same mages who had come to the aid of Houdini and Roddy after the agreement.

It was precisely because of the existence of these mages that it was extremely easy to deal with the siege of the orcs a few days ago. Davidian stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of the command post: "Lord Sodrore's strength is not good now, if you want me to tell me the position of Evta's 'First Horseman'... Soon it will give way. ”

"Captain Davian, you said that our combat strength is much stronger than that of the orcs, why don't you rush out and fight? I heard from the sentry boy that no one has taken the initiative to attack the orcs until now..."

Davidian spat the grass stalk aside: "Taylor, you have a lot of ideas, come, repeat what I emphasized to you when I joined the army?"

"Huh? It should be 'resolutely obey the orders of the superiors.'" ”

"So what do you kid want? This war is commanded by Knight Titus, and whatever he says is what he says, you know? Lord Sodrore is more principled than anyone else, and you must not shout 'I'm going to rush out and cut down the orcs', or I won't care if I am dealt with by military law." ”

"Yes! I don't dare to do it again..."

In such conversations, time flies leisurely. War is sometimes like that, after intense battles and near-death slashing, there is always hope that there will be more such unbridled relaxation.

However, the sudden assembly order made the barracks instantly lively, and the clanging of armor and weapons collided into a loud sound, and the originally scattered open space was lined up in a neat line in the blink of an eye, and there was no sign of laziness.

Sodrol's adjutant Pavigny walked up to everyone with a long sword at his waist and raised his voice:

"Level 1 combat readiness, the team leader will go to the command post to accept the task in half an hour, over!"

"Yes, sir!"

After the formulaic order and response, Pavini gave a military salute and said with a smile: "You can compare the orcs who are more itchy than who hacked to death." ”

"Wow!"

The whistles and cheers rang out, and this atmosphere was very different from all the other knight troops, and I was afraid that the entire kingdom of Karen was unique. Davidian was also one of the lieutenants, but he was in charge of the cavalry unit, and Pavini was in charge of coordination and logistics, so he smiled and chatted a few words, and after learning that it was indeed an active operation, he immediately smiled and pulled his men to open the market.

Knowing that they were betting on who would kill the most orcs, Pavini smiled, and then walked up to the three Rasiman mages and invited them to the command post to talk.

The four of them stepped into the cold and damp command post in the fortress, because of the poor lighting, the inside of the command post was covered with many grooves for inserting torches, but now these positions are hung with Elsen's special "spar energy lamp", which illuminates the inside of the command post as bright as day.

The three mages are young and powerful, they have not experienced the cruelty of the battlefield from the academy, originally they didn't look down on this group of soldiers who only knew how to fight, but after the orcs were continuously repulsed, the three mages honestly put away their arrogance.

And when they entered the hall in the core area of the command room, even the footsteps became quieter.

Anyone who has seen Sodrore go to war will feel a little awe in their hearts.

Neatly stacked papers lined the table, and a large, precise sand table was placed in the center of the room. All kinds of details show that this general who is sticking to the fortress is by no means a closed person. The meticulously dressed Sodrol was sitting precariously at this time, and when he looked over, he was already faintly putting pressure on several mages...

"Holier City has given new strategic goals, and specific actions are left to me at my discretion. Sodlorre pointed to the sand table and said softly, "Master Houdini has already sent the enemy's location over, so... I hope that tonight's raid will continue to have the support of a few Venerable Mages. ”

Without saying a word, the three mages bowed together and replied, "This is our duty. ”

"With the help of the three mages, this raid is sure to be successful. ”

Sodrore's formulaic flattery, when he looked at the sand table, his originally calm eyes were already lit with fierce fighting intent.

This is the stage where I can show my skills...

Just as Sauron was celebrating the capture of the two fortresses by his army, the army that rushed out of the night was already swinging towards the encamped orc troops like a scythe of death.

Because of the fact that Evta was completely defensive in the early days of the war, the orcs already had a mindset: humans would only shrink back on the defensive, and would not dare to attack head-on with a hard bridge.

The war has been going on so far, and the only battle that has been fought on the plains is the one when the Wellington knights came to the rescue. The rest of the time, no matter how provocative the orcs were, the human soldiers would never step out of the fortress - this behavior also made the orcs less and less vigilant at night, and at the same time the defensive measures became more and more hasty.

In the entire orc army, only Sauron's guards used a layered anti-shock formation when camping, and the other orcs did not consider the impact of the camp layout on the night enemy after they dispersed, and for the orcs who had just captured the "Tama Fort", they had reduced their vigilance to the lowest point with the city wall as a barrier.

The castle was captured because of its low walls and inadequate guards. The orcs don't know how to maintain and repair the city walls at all, so they just send a small team to watch them at night. Most of the rest of the orcs pounced on the women among the refugees in the city, and they were frantically venting **** one by one - as for the tribal guard chief Gru, who had made a meritorious contribution, he directly enjoyed the "spoils" in the castle hall where the smell of blood had not yet dissipated.

He already saw a bright future ahead of him, and even fantasized about taking Godard's place as Overseer. However, just as he was excitedly sprinting on Bai Huahua's body, there was a strange commotion outside the door...

"What's going on?!"

He casually pulled up his pants and yelled and scolded the guards outside the door: "Let them move quietly! Is this a rebellion!?"

But when he walked outside the castle hall, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat - because of night blindness, he couldn't see if there were orcs standing on the city wall in the distance, but the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was definitely not the sound of a wolf!

Are humans crazy? Attacking cities at night?

"Defend the city gates!"

"But... Captain, they've rushed in!"

"Are you rubbish? How did they get in?!"

"It's... No one could say clearly, so they said that there was an explosion at the gates, and the men came in at once..."

Gru has grown his mouth and is clearly struggling to comprehend the abilities of a human magician.

"Then guard the inner gates!

Gru yelled and went to get his weapon, but in the next second, he saw that the gate of the inner city was pierced in the light with a "bang".

Under the light of the torch, the knights in bright iron armor rushed in, and the wielding swords easily slashed the orcs who surrounded them, and the tall figure with a long sword in the middle rushed straight towards him...

"How so... We stormed the city for three days... How..."

Gru's eyes were full of disbelief, but he had to rush to fight. His weapon is a one-meter-eight long mace, and the self-proclaimed brave Gru is always invincible in battle, and no one within the attack range of the mace is either dead or maimed, and no one is spared.

He roared angrily at the oncoming knight, squinting his eyes and trying to identify the other man's position...

"Give me death!"

The giant stick swung out and slammed into the figure, but the enemy dissipated with a "poof".

Gru was stunned, but saw the long sword in the darkness silently slash by, sending his huge head straight into the sky.

Sodrore reined in with one hand, watching the drake knights around him slaughter the unprepared orcs in the inner city, squinting and snorting:

"But that's it. ”

That night, the "Tama Fort", which had fallen for only two days, was recaptured by a team of 500 men led by Sodlorre, with a total of 2,300 invading orcs, none of whom escaped.

The next day, the orc reinforcements who tried to retake the castle were rushed out of the city by Sodlorre, and only half of the 2,000 orcs who came to the rescue fled back, and the severed orc heads were piled up on a small slope outside the city, directly scaring off the other orc forces who tried to attack.

After this battle, there was an uproar within the orc army, and Evta's morale was greatly boosted. (To be continued.) )
