When Owen said this, he regretted it a little, he forgot where he was, and he forgot who he was up against.

In the human kingdom, ordinary commoners are not allowed to interject in conversations between nobles, especially when talking about important things, and if they don't ask, ordinary commoners don't even have a chance to speak in front of the nobles.

This is a regulation that has been in place since the nomadic times of humans.

Because, at that time, wisdom was only in the hands of a few, and the opinions of ordinary people only misled decision-makers.

Owen's meaning was obvious - the orc camp next to the Northwest Highlands was built in secret, and they had opened the passage to the forest, so their intentions were clear.

Now, their secret has been discovered.

If the orc commanders were smart enough, they would have moved ahead.

However, it will also take time, after all, a tough battle cannot be fought casually, and a hasty attack will only lose troops.

But even so, there wasn't much time left for Rainer and Cyberpunk.

The two did not blame Owyn for his proposal, but looked at each other, their faces turning ugly.

"Go back!" Rena said to Punk, already commanding, "Highland Fortress needs their commander!"

"Delilah, go prepare my armor, and then have the herald call the commanders to the front command post, I need to see them there in an hour, and if anyone dares to be absent, I will enforce the battlefield order!" Rena changed his lazy state.

With that, she turned to look at Owen who was standing next to her.

"Your Excellency..."

Just as Rena was about to let Owen leave, Owen spoke again, "When I found out about the enemy's troops, just in case, I had my brothers set a trap nearby, if..."

"You're saying you have a way to stop those orcs?" said Rainer, his face more serious than ever.

Punk also subconsciously stopped his steps to leave.

"Yes, I must avenge my brothers!" Owen cried out without knowing where the courage came from, and he silently added in his heart—also for atonement!

"If they really dare to pass through the forest, as long as I give a hundred people, I have a way to stop them for at least three days, and it will cost them dearly!"

"Huh?" Rena raised her eyebrows, she looked at Owen seriously, he knew very well what the other party was thinking in his heart, revenge? maybe, but more to prove his ability, he saw ambition in the other party's eyes!

If in normal times, she doesn't mind giving the other party a chance to prove himself, but at this critical time, she is a little hesitant.

"Baron!" said Punk, who was about to leave, "give him to me, I know what to do with him!"

Rena looked at Punk in surprise, then waved her hand, "Then let him follow you!" She didn't have time to dwell and think about it.

---------

At noon on May 7, the offensive and defensive battle of Bien City officially began.

The armies of the two clans have been facing each other for more than 20 days, and they are all preparing for this upcoming battle, and the commanders of both sides did not expect that what forced them to fight in advance would actually be an inconspicuous reconnaissance team.

As the drums of war rang out in the sky, the orc troops marched out of their camps, and the heavy siege towers and catapults shook the plain ground.

The soldiers of the outer defense line of Bien City were also prepared in an orderly manner under the command of the commanders of each team, and bundles of arrows, fire oil, and rolling stones were transported to the front line from the rear!

Peidi and Rena divided the defense line of Byan City into two layers, the outer defense line was the Northwest Highland Fortress, the central defense line, and the Sushui River defense line in the north.

The inner defense line is to rely on the strong city defense of Bien City to guard the main road and prevent the orcs from continuing to advance.

However, Viscount Pedi and Rena did not have many troops at their disposal, and even if there were many mercenaries and wandering knights who volunteered to join this war, they were not enough at all.

The entire perimeter defense was deployed with less than two thousand people.

But the orcs alone have a whole corps of 5,000 people, and behind them, there are even a large number of goblin crossbowmen to cover.

Most of the human nobles actually hoped that the orcs would continue to confront each other, preferably until mid-May, and in that case, they would have fulfilled Viscount Cage's military orders.

When the time comes, in the face of the orc attack, they only need to make a few appearances to resist before retreating.

Of course, there are also some nobles who are glad that the orcs can start advancing at this time, because they can see further away - if the orcs continue to accumulate enough military strength, the defense line set up by Bien City will not be able to withstand even a day.

In addition, in the siege of the city, the siege but not the attack, for the defenders, a little uncomfortable, they often have to worry about the opponent's sudden attack!

And for the attacker, an effective means of surprise attack can be worth ten days of attrition on the frontal battlefield!

In this regard, there are too many examples in history to learn from.

Therefore, a battle on the open side is more advantageous for the defenders, because they have strong fortifications to rely on...

Rainer is in charge of the frontal defensive line, which will be the focus of the orc's attack, and according to the information detected by the scouts, two thousand orc warriors carrying various siege machines are slowly marching towards her.

She looked out into the distance from the wooden walls of the most advanced line of defense.

There, the yellow sand is rolling, and the pitch-black orc battle flag is being raised little by little!

The dull footsteps of the orc warrior were like a hammer pounding on Rainer's heart, and her palms were covered with sweat.

She was scared, yes, she was scared and nervous, although she had various titles, but after all, she was just a twenty-year-old girl, she was not a traditional aristocrat, a few years ago, she was just a child of a merchant family.

Her greatest wish in this life is nothing more than to find a man who loves her to marry, and then grow old slowly.

Now this life is completely beyond her expectations.

"Your Excellency!" Lila whispered from the side, "the orcs are about to attack, their catapults are ready!"

The squire's voice made everything real in front of Rainer's eyes again, and she forcibly dispelled the distractions in her mind, the blood-red rose on her family banner next to her was so dazzling, she remembered, remembered her oath, and her determination!

In the face of the monstrous momentum of the orc army, Rena roared as if venting: "Brothers in robes, swear to defend Bien City to the death!"

The soldiers around her were the first to respond, staring at the bright red banner and shouting, "Defend the city of Byan to the death!"

The sound is untidy, but it is extraordinary.

"Defend the city of Byan to the death!"

Slowly, the soldiers farther away were also responding.

After a few moments, the entire battlefield sky resounded - sworn to defend the city of Byan!
