Chapter 60: Chaos (2)
The command post of Thor's Fortress is actually inside Camp One. This is the area dedicated to General Kissernst, guarded by his personal guards, and if you don't get the general's order to approach this place without permission, you can be dealt with by military law, but tonight, the guards in charge of the night vigil did not dare to treat Ryan and his party like this.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Magician, the General doesn't want to be disturbed, please come back!" the guards held back Ryan and the others with spears.
Ryan stared at the command post of Thor Fortress, which was just twenty meters away, and said in a very serious tone: "I must see General Kissernst immediately, even if he doesn't want to see me, I must hear General Kissester say this to me with my own ears." This is a very important matter, and I will bear all the consequences!"
"This" The guard saw that Ryan insisted on seeing General Kissernst, he was a little hesitant, he knew Ryan's reputation, as a magician who killed thousands of orcs alone, Ryan can be said to be well-known in Thor's Fortress, and even General Kissern was very polite to Ryan, usually Ryan wanted to see General Killnst, it was basically easy, and he didn't want to offend Ryan for no reason.
"Your Excellency the Magician, this, the general said that he wanted to think about something, and it was already very late, so it was better to come back tomorrow!" If it were someone else, the guards might have forcibly driven them out, but in the face of the Lane magician who could unleash magic to kill orcs with a gesture, the guards did not dare to come hard, as long as they persuaded with good words.
Ryan suddenly caught a trace of breath in the air, this is the smell of blood, but this smell is quite weak, if it weren't for Ryan who had gone deep into the pool of blood, he would never have noticed it, the last time he faced the trap set by the magician Green, Ryan also had a guard in advance through this subtle feeling.
"Wait a minute!" Ryan interrupted the guards, and asked seriously, "Did General Kissernst tell you that he wanted to think about things and would not allow anyone to disturb him?"
"Ah," said the guard, after a moment's thought, "oh, that's not really, but the general's lieutenant Hans often conveys the general's orders, so"
As soon as Ryan heard this, he immediately shuddered, and a sense of foreboding came to his heart, and he pushed away the guards who were blocking the way, and strode towards the command post.
"Stop, you, you can't break in!" the guard was pushed away, he didn't dare to intercept Ryan with a weapon, in case Ryan misunderstood that he wanted to make a move, it would be troublesome to throw a fireball out of the preemptive strike, so he had to shout loudly.
The shouts of the guards alarmed many people nearby, and even many soldiers who had already slept ran out one after another, anyway, it was summer, and even if they were only wearing a pair of shorts, they would not freeze.
"Ryan, who are you?" General Clark's voice came, "Didn't you have a vigil tonight, why did you come here?"
Ryan stopped, turned his head and looked at General Clark walking briskly with his own guards, he explained: "General Clark, Adjutant Hans used General Kissernst's order to change guards with me, but I always felt that it was wrong, so"
"Change the guard?" General Clark said strangely, "I'm the night patrol director tonight, why don't you know?
Ryan didn't say anything more, he walked a few steps to the door and pushed it open.
A huge orc with an upper body ** and a height of nearly three meters climbed up the city wall along the wooden ladder, and the huge orc held a battle axe in his hand, and the blade of this battle axe was enough to be as small as an adult **.
On the city wall, the original 50-meter interval bonfires have changed slightly, among which ten bonfires have been moved to less than 10 meters apart, and on the city wall, there are also hundreds of human corpses lying horizontally, these human corpses are all wide-eyed, as if they don't believe what they see in front of them.
On the walls of the entire Thor Fortress for several kilometers, there are at least fifty wooden ladders on the city wall, and a large number of elite orc warriors have climbed the city wall one after another.
In ten minutes, at least 5,000 orc elites appeared on the city wall, although the number was not very large, but they had firmly controlled the passage above the city wall from below to reinforce the human beings, and the offensive and defensive momentum of humans and orcs was reversed in these ten minutes.
A shriveled old orc was carried to the wall by a strong orc, and the orc knelt respectfully on the ground, allowing the old orc to slowly walk off his back. The old orc was the Beast Emperor's most trusted wise man, the prophet Evan, who still wore a striking white fur coat, a necklace made from the skull of an unknown beast around his neck, and a totem made from the huge leg bone of some kind of beast in his hand.
A strong orc with a crude scratch on his forehead walked up to the old orc, who looked different from ordinary orcs, his skin was not green, but wheat-colored. The orcs are also covered with lush fluff, and look more like beasts that have been walking upright. He wears a pair of swarthy steel claws on his hands, but the steel claws are also different from ordinary ones, more like tiger claws. Behind the orc, a small tail hung limply, and when he walked, the small tail flicked around, and many people had laughed at him for this, but their fate was all food for the orc's pets.
Although this orc was much larger than the prophet Evan, and even four prophets Evan could not fit it into his body, the orc bent down and said respectfully, "Prophet Evan, we have controlled the entire section of the wall. ”
The corners of Prophet Evan's mouth cracked, perhaps smiling. This orc is the leader of the Blood Guardian of the Beast Emperor, and there is a "Blood Gladiatorial Arena" in the Orc capital of Beamonburg, where countless gladiatorial battles are staged every day, either orc against orc, or orc against beast, and those who are slaves can win ten consecutive victories to be free.
No one knows where this half-orc came from, but he has won thirty-seven consecutive victories in the Blood Gladiatorial Arena, and even killed all the opponents who can fight him, with this record, the Beast Emperor can't help but take action himself. No one outside knows what that battle was, but after the battle, this half-orc became the confidant of the Beast Emperor.
The half-orc has no name, and he refuses to be given a name to him, he only has a nickname, called "Fu", under the order of the beast emperor, he personally selected a group of elites, the selection method is very simple, all thrown into the blood gladiatorial arena, and ten wins in a row will automatically qualify. This group of elites was responsible for protecting the safety of the Beast Emperor, and was known as the Blood Guard, and Xiao became the leader of the Blood Guard.
The prophet Evan pointed to the quasi-"Camp No. 1" a kilometer away with the totem in his hand, and said to Ao: "There are more than 100,000 human warriors there, and our strength is not enough, so bear with us." Open the gates as soon as possible and let Ray's men in. ”
"Hmph, those humans are so weak, I can kill a thousand of them alone!" he muttered a few words in a low voice, dissatisfied with the order of the prophet Evan.
Prophet Evan heard the muttering of the Wai, he shook his head slightly, the orcs are naturally brave, but unfortunately most of them lack strategy, the Bow with a thousand blood guards can definitely compete with the 100,000 human elites, but why waste their own strength in vain where it is not necessary.
"Lord Hans, didn't we provide the orcs with the siege equipment, so why risk destroying them?" said a mercenary to Hans.
Hans looked at the giant stone-throwing cart not far away, and his men, some mercenaries and soldiers with white linen tied to their arms, were pouring thick grease on the wood-based equipment, and about 200 meters away, there was the first human camp.
Hans used his identity to pass all the way, but this time all the open and dark posts along the way were killed. All Hans's actions tonight had been planned for a long time, he used his position as an adjutant to quietly and secretly arrange, dismantling the originally tight defense, and even after killing General Kissernst tonight, he also used Kissnst's order to pass out a number of contradictory orders, and finally went to the city wall to exchange defenses with Lane.
Originally, Lille would have someone to guard here, but since the orc attack, they have been using a force of 10,000 people to attack the city, and this huge stone throwing cart is almost useless, and then it slowly slackened, and the magicians such as Lille and York are naturally in the more comfortable rest area of Camp 2.
"I don't understand yet, we're going to let the Empire and the Orcs lose both. Hans said with disdain: "The empire has the Thor Fortress, and it is difficult for the orcs to cross it, so we have to let the orcs cross it." However, once the orcs have such a powerful siege weapon, then our southern territory will also be seriously threatened. ”
"Oh, I see. The mercenary had a look of admiration on his face, and he complimented Hans and said, "You are so wise, I am far inferior." ”
"Hmph, that's not my idea. Hans said, "This is my master's command." ”
Although the mercenary was just an ordinary hug and dressed up, it was obvious that his status was not very low, and he lowered his voice and said: "Yes, our master, Lord Senat, is naturally extremely great, but Lord Hans, you are also very rare, you have been lurking in the Thor Fortress for more than ten years, if it weren't for the master personally asking me to lead the team and tell me all this, I would never have imagined that there are still the master's henchmen here." ”
"Hans rebels! Kill those who see it immediately!" The loud voice of General Clark suddenly came from the camp in the distance, and the originally silent camp immediately became boiling and brightly lit.
"Yes, my lord, it was discovered. The mercenary man said nervously.
