5. Foothold Chapter 52 Summoning Before the Formation IV
(Second shift, don't go away, it's still at night!)
In the early morning of the second day, all the humans in the fortress had already woken up early, and some of the sentries and patrols in charge of surveillance did not close their eyes all night.
And when everyone in the fortress was ready to go, waiting for the orcs to move, it was not until the morning that the orc camp lazily got up and made a fire.
However, people do not expect that the barbarian orcs who are still living a semi-primitive society will know much discipline, and it is not easy for these tens of thousands of orcs to gather together under the constraints of the leader and shaman, and the camp is not scattered.
When the last fire in the fortress was extinguished, the half-fed orcs sent a shaman who knew the human language to call for war.
The people on the city wall looked down, only to see a large area of flat ground in front of the fortress covered by green-skinned orcs, and at a glance swept away the dense density of orcs' heads. What you see with your own eyes is more shocking than what Donald sees from the perspective of an owl, not to mention that most of the people here do not have the same psychological quality as Donald, some of the timid people have already shown signs of cringe, and even some people with strong hearts can't help but feel numb in their scalps.
The orc camp was a few hundred meters below the fortress, and the walls of the fortress were at least three stories high, and the shaman had to use witchcraft to reach the ears of the humans on the fortress.
"Cowards who dare not confront the great orcs head-on, only dare to hide in the fortress. You're more timid than goblins......"
Although the accents of the other side were indistinct, most people understood the general meaning, and they wanted to send a team from each side to fight before the official war began. It is inevitably foul language, an attempt to provoke humanity. Everyone on the human side was furious, especially those aristocratic private armies, who were inevitably uneven, and they couldn't help but scold back one after another.
On the contrary, the young general of the Ansel family stood in the middle of the city with His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was very calm and did not have much worry, which made Donald, who had been observing everyone, very appreciative.
The purpose of the orcs is nothing more than to win in a small-scale competition, so that humans can see the courage and strength of the orcs, and to strike at the momentum of the human side, so that there will be fewer losses in the later battles, and it will be easier to win. These situations are clear to the wise as soon as they think about it, but the orcs, who have always been stupid and brainless, must not have come up with such a strategy, and it must be a plan offered by the wise shaman priest among the orcs.
When the voices of the people on the fortress had calmed down, the general Ferdinand shouted loudly to the nobles and their private army:
"I believe you have seen the provocation of the orcs, you are all the elite of the kingdom, at the call of His Majesty the King, you brought brave soldiers to the Holy Sword Fortress, and now the orcs are putting forward a challenge, I don't know which one is willing to lead the team to show the ignorant orcs the strength of our human race?"
When the commander spoke, the nobles who were shouting just now to teach the orcs a lesson seemed to be choked, and they didn't dare to speak.
Looking at the group of more than a dozen majestic tall orcs who walked out of the orc side, with an average stature of two heads taller than humans, and carrying a heavy giant axe half a human height in their hands, just seeing this made those noble children who were on the battlefield for the first time dizzy.
Don't look at their bright armor and bright armor as if they are majestic and high-spirited, in fact, they are just face-saving work, most of the armor on their bodies is a special ornament bought, light weight and convenient to move, just look at the gorgeous patterns and hollow ornaments to know that they can't resist any attack at all. Compared to real armor, both weight and defense are very different.
It's okay to ask them to wave their flags and shout on the city wall, but after getting off the fortress wall, once the orcs attack in a big way, then it will be difficult to return to the fortress, after all, they can't fly, the hanging basket is running slowly, and before they can go up, it is estimated that the orcs have already attacked the city wall.
Therefore, the children of the nobles who have been in a hurry to make contributions these days have no voice now, and many of them are still weak in their legs, and they are not stable on their feet because of the power of the tens of thousands of orcs below.
Seeing that these nobles were so courageless, the young general secretly scolded these guys in his heart for being useless, and the enemy camp just released a small group of orc troops to invite them to fight, obviously wanting to attack the momentum of the human side.
"There is no way, it seems that the excellent swordsmen in the legion can only be prepared to fight, with the strength of their bronze swordsmen, they should be able to compete with the same number of orc giant axemen, plus the exquisite swordsmanship taught by the family and the high-quality equipment equipped by the legion, as well as the power of the sword qi, it is not a problem to defeat these orcs, I am afraid that the other party's shaman will cast bloodthirsty magic, then the strength of the berserk orcs will be doubled!"
Just as the commander was about to give the order, a nobleman suddenly stepped forward.
This nobleman is none other than Donald, who has made great contributions before. I saw him glance at the noble children who had not dealt with him before, and then ignored their angry and empty eyes, and spoke to Shi Li, the supreme commander of the Holy Sword Fortress.
"General, these orcs are planning to attack the momentum of our army, since they dare to send so many to send them to death, it is better for me to fulfill them!"
Seeing Donald take the initiative to take on the difficult task proposed by the orc side, everyone's faces changed, and most of them felt that this person was simply going to die, and several nobles with good hearts spoke out to persuade them.
However, thinking of the shocking scene in front of the command post before, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Compared to single-handedly exterminating more than 200 orcs, the following small group of orcs was undoubtedly a simple task, and they all wanted to see how this young mage used to defeat the orcs. Mages have seen a few of them, but most of these people have never had the opportunity to encounter such a rare profession as summoners in their lives.
Therefore, most people felt that since Donald had this plan, he must be well prepared, and his attitude towards this newly rising young nobleman began to change.
The aristocratic family led by Bolton naturally didn't want to watch Donald make any more achievements, and hoped that he would be drowned in the orc army after he went down, and his attitude was a little contradictory for a while.
The young general Ferdinand also thought of Donald's feat of killing more than 200 orcs before, how could he forget this one secretly? He also wanted to see the strength of the summoner in his heart, so he ignored the opinions of some well-intentioned people and officially issued a military order.
"Mage Melina, the orc army is pressing, and it is impossible to open the city gate, I can only order someone to put the hanging basket to send you down, but I will let the hanging basket wait for you, if there is danger, please protect yourself, return to the hanging basket as soon as possible, a summoner is a force that the kingdom cannot afford to lose, and you will need to continue to work for the king in the future!"
"Thank you for your concern, please don't bother. I have my own way to go down, so please wait and see what you and everyone here will do!"
Receiving the order, Donald did not go to the fortress's wall gondola, but summoned a creature on the spot that no one had ever seen.
"In my name, come out!
