Chapter 33: The Blood Flag Flies

The big bell at the head of the city rang, representing the meaning of emergency evacuation, but fortunately, more than 30,000 hired laborers, after settling their wages two days ago, all evacuated in other directions, leaving behind those who were willing to fight to the death.

All the orcs outside the city retreated to the city in an orderly manner according to the plan, and the old kobold Hogan shouted outside the crowd with a big iron horn: "Don't crowd, all the people live in the area allocated before, and pay attention to take away all the useful things, not a single grain is cheap Douglas bastard, and the well in the village is blocked? ”

The newly built city was built a mile away from the original Borg village, and due to the rush of time, the city only had time to dig a few wells and build more than a dozen large warehouses to store materials, and many materials could not be loaded and were piled up in the open space.

Originally, a row of wooden houses specially built by the leaders was for the respected Lord Modo and Priest Helena to live, but now all of them were given to the priests and knights who came to support the Temple of the God of War, and the limited tents were all for the frail old and young women and children to live in, so Lord Modo had to take his militia brigade to sleep in the open space in the city.

Fortunately, the weather has been good these days, there are no signs of rain, and sleeping outside is not too difficult.

In the steel base, the old gray dwarf Pluto looked at Niu Dali with a reluctant face and said: "Master Modo, do you really want to demolish and burn the base? This is all your hard work, otherwise you give me 300 people, I swear to stay here, no one can take your base before I die." ”

Lao Niu patted Pluto's shoulder vigorously and said with a sigh: "I don't want to demolish this base that we built with our own hands, but you are the most important thing, we can continue to build the base without it, and we can even build better." ”

One last glance at the base that had paid a lot of effort, Niu Dali shouted with a faint cry: "Flint, do it, dismantle everything that can be dismantled, and then burn it with a fire, Douglas that SB doesn't think it will be so easy to get my new steelmaking technology." ”

It is easier to destroy than to build, the ogres wielded maces to knock down the steel-making furnace, the iron-frying furnace, and the forging table one by one, every time the ogre smashed it, it was like smashing in the heart of the old cow, bleeding distressedly, and the last fire ignited the wooden greenhouse, and the entire steel base burned.

When Niu vigorously led the ogres and gray dwarves back to the city, the old Borg village on the side was also ignited by the kobolds, and two huge flames reflected the determination of the Borg to lead the strong wall and fight to the death.

The centaur rangers outside the wilderness retreated in twos and threes, and at the same time brought back the intelligence of the Douglas family's private army, and in a small tent, a log table was set up, even if it was the joint headquarters of the Borg Collar and the Temple.

The Douglas family's private army did not have the maximum number of 20,000 troops, but it was not less than 15,000 men, and the cavalry of the two brigades was about 2,000 men.

Because of the long-term military friction between the Orc Empire and the Roland Empire, the Temple of the God of War and the Governor's Mansion have general information on the military strength of the Northern Legion and the Goa Province.

The two captains are both level 13 knights, and they both have a record of serving in the Northern Legion, which means that this cavalry is very regular, not like a mercenary group.

Probably didn't expect the Borg to have a city wall, Douglas's private army did not carry siege equipment, 3000 archers and 1000 strong crossbowmen are all long-range attack power, according to intelligence, as a strong crossbow strictly controlled by the Roland Empire, with armor-piercing arrows, it can penetrate the standard armor of the Northern Army within 80 yards, and there is still good lethality 100 yards away.

The main infantry of 7,000 men consisted of 3 infantry regiments, pikemen, shieldmen, and axemen...... A series of arms have a clear division of labor, and officers, large and small, basically have the experience of studying and studying at the Roland Imperial Military Academy or the Goa Provincial Military Academy, and the greedy Douglas family is still very willing to invest in their own family strength.

Their commander was a level 14 Great Sword Master, a level 14 Flame Fighting Spirit who was well-known in Goa Province, and was said to have killed two enemies of the same level in battle, and those two enemies were killed while joining forces.

Then there are 1,200 special mercenaries in the private army, Slavic berserkers, Slavs live in the Silyan Ice Plain on the edge of the Roland Empire, the cold weather and the roaming monsters have created the Slavs' burly figure and tenacious character, the Slavs who have died in battle are not afraid of death on the battlefield, and are very loyal to their employers, they are very famous mercenaries on the mainland, and there is a very famous Slavic Steel Guard next to the Emperor of the Roland Empire.

More importantly, the unique bloodline of the Slavs, the Slavs who have completed the cruel rite of passage will awaken the mad bloodline of their ancestors, although the Slavs who have entered the madness will be weakened for several days after the madness, but in the madness of the half-hourglass, they have no pain, their strength and defense are greatly enhanced, and they are often the nightmare of the opponent on the battlefield, Governor Douglas spent countless energy to hire these 1200 Slavic berserkers.

At the end of the team is a 2,000-strong baggage force, although the baggage unit is weaker than the infantry regiment's combat effectiveness, but it is also fully equipped, and it is also a not weak combat force when it is pulled out at a critical time.

Finally, and the most important combat force in this private army, a level 14 demon warlock, the younger brother of the governor, Viscount Winston, Winston is also the commander-in-chief of Douglas's private army this time, and he is accompanied by four mages in mage robes and more than a dozen magic apprentices.

The four mages are a level 13 fire archmage, a level 12 wind mage, two level 11 earth mages, plus more than a dozen magic apprentices, which is completely powerful and outrageous in the orc empire where magic power is poor.

Viscount Winston and his mage regiment were firmly guarded by 500 elite personal guards, which made Niu Dali, who originally planned to play a decapitation tactic, have to give up this absurd idea.

After discussing for a long time with the most commanding knights of the Temple of War, there is still no other good way, it seems that they can only rely on the strong city defense and the unreliable city defense equipment, and then consider other things after killing and injuring a large number of the Douglas family's private army.

The centaur rangers who returned to the city reported a detail that was originally overlooked, Douglas's private army actually waved a blood-red banner, and the tent was silent for a while, and after a long time, the high priest Tracy said sadly: "The blood-colored banner represents the banner of revenge, it seems that Winston is crazy, he wants to kill all the people he sees along the way, and if the Borg leader is defeated, he will not be left behind." ”

Niu Dali's heart and 10,000 grass and mud horses rushed over: "Isn't it special to kill your concubine, and not to kill your mother, as for this, is that rotten thing still your true love." ”

Lao Niu knew that there was really no way back now, and if he was really defeated, except for the gray dwarf blacksmith, nearly 6,000 people in the city would not survive.

The old cow, who was cornered, launched a ruthless attack and commanded loudly: "Flint go and raise the red banner at the head of the city, the bigger the better, and order it to go down, we don't need prisoners in this battle." ”

The blood-colored banner fluttered at the head of the city led by the Borg, and the militia looked at the blood-colored banner and did not speak, but continued to sharpen the already sharp weapon.
