Chapter 102 The Situation
Chapter 102: Changes in the Situation
The appearance of an orc army near the Shadow Castle immediately aroused Donn's alarm, and he quickly dispatched men to notify nearby Xia Zuo.
Near the Emerald City, only Tang En and Xia Zuo still have a certain amount of strength, although there are still eleven hereditary nobles' castles in the north of the Emerald City that have not been conquered by the orcs, but these nobles are far inferior to Tang Enxia Zuo and others in the mercenary group because of their scattered strength.
Now that there is an orc team near the Shadow Castle, Xia Zor's Cladie Castle is also unsafe, and passing the news over earlier can also help them be prepared.
As for Malouda and the others in the south of the Emerald City, although Tang En also wanted to contact him, because the road was cut off by the orc army in the Emerald City, it was difficult to pass on news and communicate with each other, and it was also difficult for them to communicate with Malouda's side.
On the contrary, it is a smuggling passage in the Red Dragon Forest, because it has bypassed the Emerald City far away, and it has not been blocked by the orcs, but can pass safely.
However, this smuggling route is very dangerous, there are a lot of magical beasts active along the way, and it is impossible to bypass the Loya Canyon without strong power.
Just as Tang En and the others were repairing the city defenses and cleaning up the battlefield, the orcs of the Emerald City had already learned the news that the rout had returned.
The orc army originally had three gold-level professionals, but the health of the minotaur Karui was cleared, and now although he barely survived, it was impossible to do anything. His current condition is similar to that of a vegetative person, and he still needs two silver-level priests every day to use divine magic to keep him alive.
Only by returning to the Orc Wasteland and being in the temple of the orc gods was cast by a gold-level priest with a seventh-level divine body resurrection technique, Karui was able to return his soul to his body and regain his mobility.
Even in this way, Karui will not be able to do his best in two or three years.
Another gold-level orc, Zagu, was also seriously injured by Edgar, and is still recuperating in the Emerald City, unable to move at all.
Only Chera's combat power is well preserved, but as the commander of the orcs, he also needs to sit in the Emerald City to defend against the counterattack of Malouda's soldiers.
Now the enemy of Emerald City is not only Donn, but the biggest threat to them is Malouda in Loya City.
Malouda's people were originally powerful Templars, and now there were four silver, seventeen bronze, and more than twenty professions.
Moreover, they are backed by the Bullhorn Fortress in the Loya Gorge, and they can receive a steady stream of aid from the Empire.
Now that the city defense of Bullhorn Fortress has been stationed in Loya City, their commander has also made a decisive move into Loya City to assist Malouda in defending Loya Castle.
Malouda is a level 10 paladin, and George Rhodes, the commander of the city defense force of Bullhorn Fortress, is an level 11 warrior. They have a strong official backing behind them, and although they are more than 200 miles away from the Emerald City, they are far more of a threat to the Emerald City than Donn's scattered mercenary team.
Therefore, the first enemy of the orcs is always in the south, and the humans in the north of the Emerald City are only elbows and armpits.
If the strength is extremely strong, the orcs can of course send gold-level professionals to encircle and suppress Tang En, but compared to humans, the orcs' high-level combat power may not have an advantage.
Otherwise, they would not have been defeated by the humans, leaving the warm southern plains and entering the barren and cold orc highlands.
The orcs attached great importance to the human army that appeared in close proximity, and even the commander of the busy military situation, Chera, personally paid attention to this matter, and gathered the orc officers to discuss the solution.
Although the gold-level werewolf Zagu was already injured, he still shouted eagerly: "Chera, otherwise I will lead my troops tomorrow to put down these human bedbugs who dare to resist." ”
"No, our clan has already put most of its forces here, and there aren't too many troops scattered at all. Now Corbett is working with us, but who knows what these vampires have in mind?
So I'll have to take control of the Emerald City, and you'll need to go to Loya Castle to fend off the remnants of the Templars. Cherah immediately shook his head and retorted.
"What about the enemy from the north?" Zagu asked, with a glaring eye.
Chera said confidently: "The patriarch has led people to ask for help from the Fangs tribe, and promised to conquer the Northern Frontier Province of the human race, and allocate half of the territory to them. The fanged patriarch is furious - the pigfang has moved and decided to mobilize the clan to reinforce us.
When reinforcements arrive, these pesky bugs will naturally die without a place to bury. ”
Zagu shouted with a dissatisfied face: "Why do we have to hand over half of the territory we have laid to the filthy wild boars of the Fangtooth Tribe. Their strength is not as good as ours, our clan has four gold-level professionals, and the fangs are only two wild boars, why should we let them?"
"This is where the patriarch is smart, the fanged tribe is weaker than us, so even if they gain half of the territory, it will be easier for us to control. If we choose to ask for help from the Orc Court, then it will immediately lead to a legendary war, and we can only become cannon fodder, and we will not gain any benefits.
Even if we win the battle and occupy the land, the nobles of the royal court may not be cheap us. Chela said confidently.
"It's better to use your mind, otherwise the patriarch won't let you be the commander, and Karui and I can only be your subordinates. Zagu said convincingly.
"What are you going to do with the Shadow Castle humans?" asked the werewolf Zagu as he turned the subject.
"Ignore them for now, we first need to shrink our strength, stabilize Emerald City, and then suppress the human army in Loya City. If you do these two things well, you will be considered to have completed the task.
When the fanged boar reinforcements arrive, we're in a big swing to sweep away these pesky bed bugs. Cherah said.
Soon, the orc army began to shrink its strength under the strict orders of Chera, and hit the forces in its hands in the Emerald City, and Zagu also went out with injuries and led a part of the orcs to attack Loya City, wanting to take off the nail located next to the Loya Canyon.
Malouda and George-Rhodes also showed great courage in the face of Zagu's attack, fighting bravely and repelling thirteen attacks by the orcs.
Even if Zagu went into battle in person, it was the same ending, he was besieged by five silver-level professionals at the head of the city, and not only did not achieve his goal, but only made his injuries worse.
Because of the lack of high-level combat power, Loya City did not launch an attack on the orc army, and before the arrival of reinforcements from the Empire, the direction of Loya City also fell into tranquility for the time being.
