50. Internal and external troubles
The veteran took a sip of water, then straightened his clothes, and walked in the direction of the back kitchen with his utensils, and said,
"Instead of worrying about the orc attack, let's worry about the dispatch list that will be released soon, although it is a random selection of personnel to Arad's side, but I heard that if it is the main personnel of the department, it is possible to apply to stay in the post. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Polken was talking about the upcoming "Arad Raiders", after the last intensive study, Marne told the news to the pacesetters of each group, it is said that the Arnov Liberation Organization will soon return to Arad to fight, because their own number is very small, so it is also necessary to send some land workers to Arad to guide the follow-up land distribution.
Although everyone is promoted from the bottom of society, who wants to leave their newly stable job and go to a war-torn place?
The mentors also knew this, so they chose to draw lots and gamble on their luck, so that the students would have nothing to say.
But fortunately, the first batch of support for the Arnov Liberation Organization is only 100 people, that is, one of the 8 people will be selected, after all, Anumanche's land reform has just begun, and it is necessary to put aside the development of his own country and use humanitarian light to help neighboring countries, Adolf and Elevin are not so selfless as to this extent.
But what Polken didn't know was that the list of personnel to be transferred had actually been determined as early as the interval between their classes. There are three main criteria:
Strong-willed, strong enough to survive long marches.
Lo and behold, a veteran like Polken is simply the perfect candidate.

"Trebuchet!"
"Be careful!"
The topless orc warrior smirked and cut off the tripping rope of the trebuchet, and under the pull of the ligament of the water rhinoceros that had been completely taut, more than two dozen trebuchets arranged side by side at the back of the orc battle array were launched together, and the burning stone balls were like comets, whistling down from the sky, and the thick walls of the mountain fort defense line seemed to be smashed open by sparks, and the landing points of several stone balls were also extremely accurate and smashed on the heads of the defenders of the mountain fort, and for a while, blood splashed.
There are at least 4w orcs gathered around the small mountain fort, and they are not busy attacking the city, but constantly bombarding the area of the city with the trebuchets that have been prepared for a long time, constantly trying to reduce the will of the defenders, and waiting until Dulu's assault order is issued, more brutal siege battles will appear on this battlefield. Other phalanxes were displayed elsewhere in the northern part of the Pakan Line, and in short, every wall of the plain had become a battlefield for orcs and humans to compete for victory the moment the orcs arrived.
The besieged fortress has now become a military city completely, with all the houses on the periphery demolished, and stones and timber used as rolling stones, which are the best materials to stop the enemy as long as the orcs attack.
Eric and the mage team withdrawn from the front line have been holding out on the city wall for 2 days, and now it has reached the most critical moment, and the demeanor and grace of the mage have long been thrown aside.
"Lord Eric, can you destroy the orc's trebuchet?"
The commander of the hill fort defense, the herald of Arthur, the reserve knight chief of the Hussar Knights, hurried to Eric's side, his young face was full of black gunpowder smoke and bloodstains, Eric looked at him and shook his head,
"It's too far away, and with the protection of the Troll Priests, you can't help it unless you can help the Battle Mages carve out a position below. ā
"What! Even you..."
The herald shouted in surprise, only to be interrupted by Eric's waving hand.
"I can destroy those trebuchets, no problem, but have you thought about it, if I go out of the city to fight, and the legend of the orcs attack, who of you can stop it?"
The herald was silent, and before he could say anything more, he was suddenly kicked down by Eric, and then the clash of steel was heard where he was.
"Troll headhunters!
Yes, several troll headhunters appeared out of the air wielding decapitating axes, targeting the commanders and mages standing beside Eric, but this trick was not new forty years ago, so the moment before they struck, the silver balls around Eric's body suddenly flew up, and before the decapitator could get a trace of blood, it was shattered by the oncoming silver balls.
The troll race has El's strongest self-recovery ability, as long as the head is not cut off, even if the hands and feet are broken, it can recover quickly, but now the head hunter's head is broken, no matter how strong the self-recovery power is, it can't recover the head, right?
Eric sighed as he took out the three Assassins in one fell swoop, pulling the still-stunned herald up, who looked at the bloody battlefield and didn't know what to say.
"Go, tell Arthur not to act rashly until help arrives. As the defender of the city, we still have an advantage. ā
"Yes!"
For Eric, who had saved his life, the herald did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly ran towards the command office on the other side of the city wall.
But at this moment, a burning boulder fell from the sky and smashed straight into the place where the herald was, and when Eric just stretched out his hand, the young man's blood had already gushed out from under the boulder.
The old mage looked at his deep hand, he could only shake his head, and instead swayed a turquoise magical light, and the bone-eating venom fell from the sky, huddled together, and wiped out the orc laborers who tried to dig the city wall, but this could not change the trend of the war in getting more and more difficult, and the moment the venom dissipated, more laborers gathered to the corner of the city wall under the whip of the Overseer.
Although digging the city wall is an impossible task, the orcs only want to deepen the desperation of the defenders, everyone is a veteran of the battlefield, this little trick can't hide from Arthur's eyes, but the mountain fort is not only the strong-willed soldiers, but now the most headache for Arthur is the reserve composed of those mountain people, not only do not obey the order, after cutting off the heads of two groups of leaders, they are obedient on the surface, but they don't know what is going on in their hearts.
"It can't go on like this!"
Arthur slammed his fist on the table and finally made up his mind,
"Crewe, Lewin, tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning! Kaesong assault, bring me all the reserves of the mountain people! Since they are not willing to serve the Empire, let them die on the battlefield of the Empire. ā
"All of them?"
Kweknight, the rude knight who had stormed the base camp with Arthur before, frowned when he heard this order.
Faced with Crewe's question, Arthur closed his eyes and nodded,
"All of them! 3,500 people, even if it's 3,500 pigs, you can kill hundreds of orcs. Anyway, the right should be waste utilization. (To be continued.) )
