The small strength of the human race in some cases is simply staggering, and the tribe has built a city here despite the fact that the mountain is far away from the area where plants grow, and where the river at the foot of the mountain can be used as a water resource, which is as inhospitable as an alien planet. Of course, it might be more appropriate to call it a town in terms of size, but in any case it is the last stronghold of humanity and must not be lost.

For this purpose, the people built a special wall for defense. The city wall is only more than five meters high, and the thickness is not even more than one meter, which looks really hanging. But for humanity today, it's better than nothing. And there is still time to slowly increase the height and thickness of the walls, provided that we can repel the attack of the orcs.

Seriously, I don't think there is much dispute between humans and orcs, in order to avoid those green-skinned monsters, humans deliberately chose this ghost place where birds don't lay eggs to establish a stronghold, and the place where plants are collected and hunted is not controlled by orcs. However, the other party took the initiative to find fault every time, and put on a posture that was intended to interfere with your development, and this time he did not hesitate to send a large army to go on an expedition after the harassment force was defeated by the humans and completely seized the plant growth area, and at the same time, it also completely cut off the few voices of the human race who raised the official contact and peace talks with the orcs.

They were going to completely destroy you from the beginning, so what are you talking about?

I am very unhappy with this situation, very unhappy. Not to mention the historical grievances between the two races, since those green-skinned monsters are determined to completely kill humans, they must also be prepared to be killed by humans in turn!

You can beat people, why can't they fight back?

However, I soon found that the morale of the subordinates around me was not as high as I had imagined, their faces were full of fear, despair, and even numbness, and there was not the slightest light in their eyes, and even Saria, who had been standing beside me, looked full of gloom and uneasiness. The atmosphere on the entire city wall was almost breathless, and everyone except Hansen, who was constantly giving loud orders in the distance, looked lifeless.

After a little thought, I figured out why. No, it's actually so simple that you can figure it out with your toes: the sharpness of human beings has long been smoothed out by the massive monsters on the surface, and they finally escaped to the underground before they had time to recuperate and were mercilessly suppressed by the orcs, not to mention that even survival has become more and more difficult. Many young men have been injured, maimed, and even killed in the almost daily skirmishes with the orcs, and the entire race has lost hope.

In the growing areas of plants, constant friction and conflict consume what little vitality is left of human beings, and when the time is ripe, a large-scale attack will be finalized. This was the plan of the orcs, obvious to even a three-year-old - but humans had no choice but to get food.

The reason why the morale of the people is so low is because they know in their hearts that the history of mankind is likely to end once and for all today, unless there is some kind of miracle that reverses the entire situation of the war.

If it were me in this world, would I be as shrouded in despair as the person next to me at this moment? I don't know, but one thing is certain, that is, I am even more unhappy in my heart, and this time the object of my unhappiness is replaced by my own person next to me.

The specific history is only a rough idea from Nafuga. But I also know that those soldiers who risked their lives to buy time to cover the large-scale transfer of 100,000 elites fleeing into the underground gritted their teeth, overcame the despair and fear in their hearts, and did their best to resist the attacks of monsters, definitely not to make this group of people tremble on the city wall now!

"I can see the orcs!"

The shouting of a soldier not far away interrupted my train of thought, and when I looked up, I saw a long stream of green slowly rushing from the mountain road carved out by the humans, and the rude shouts of the orcs could be heard from afar.

The number of opponents is about three or four times more than ours, fortunately, the equipment of these green-skinned monsters is very rudimentary, and it is impossible to have siege equipment, but they can barely fight. However, I soon discovered my superficiality, and in the midst of this group of burly muscular men appeared a special orc with a thin body holding a wooden staff, decorated with ore, fur, and even bones. And it is obviously the key object of protection of the other party.

Those guys aren't the shamans of the game......

In short, the orcs dispatched their magicians, and it seems that the other party is also bloody. But it's also a great opportunity for humanity. As long as you can defeat the army of greenskins here, you will get a long period of peaceful development, is there anything more precious than that?

Hell, it would have been impossible for me to have such a sharp thought in my mind before, could it be that we have gradually been influenced by Emilina? After shaking my head with a self-deprecating smile, I took a deep breath and calmed myself into calm mode.

"Saria. Don't you wonder why I chose a bow and arrow?" I said lightly to the short blonde hair beside me after pulling the bowstring casually, "That's because in some cases, ranged weapons are far more deterrent than a macho man wielding a melee weapon and posing for a thousand fights. You must know that most orcs are melee and very brave, and a person who stands within their attack range will be attacked by the opponent no matter how strong they are. A dozen or five or something will always only appear in the game, and in reality, this heroic brother will definitely be defeated by the orcs or defeated or forced to retreat. This will not only not serve as a deterrent, but will boost the morale of the other side. ”

"This is not the case with ranged weapons, because melee orcs simply can't reach it. Saria, a very smart woman, quickly understood what I meant, "But Tsubasa, how are you going to deter the other side? Even if you kill a few orcs, it doesn't matter, they don't care about such casualties." ”

I suddenly curled the corners of my mouth and smiled evilly: "Yes, normally, it is. But what if the orcs who were killed were all army commanders, or even small shamans who were heavily protected and looked like shamans?"

“...... Tsubasa, is it an illusion? You look so evil right now. ”

That's because I've been spoiled by a family whose surname is Harris—and after swallowing it back into my stomach, I pulled an arrow from my quiver and put it on the bowstring. Unfortunately, this thing is only a collector's item after all, and there are only five high-grade steel arrows in its supply, most of which are rough wooden arrows. But it doesn't matter, Shiluf trained me with this kind of arrow, and I'm more or less used to it.

Because of the condescending terrain, the bow and arrow had a long range, but I didn't attack. After all, my purpose is to deter orcs and not snipe from a distance, and attacking from too far will only provoke the ferocity of the opponent, and they must be able to clearly see that I am shooting the arrow. Only then will the orcs focus on me, and my intimidation of the greenskins will begin.

The orc forces had reached a slope about one hundred and fifty paces from the city walls, and the mages on both sides had already begun to prepare magic, and a great battle was about to break out. I didn't pay attention to the situation around me, and even the shouts of Uncle Hansen in the distance became blurred in the calm mode, and the only thing that was very clear was the shaman who was carried by four greenskin monsters on a chair in the center of the orc team, and his identity was obviously extremely noble.

I didn't use calm mode when Syruf was instructing, because I knew that I would definitely hit the target - although Aglaya would definitely hold up a small shield to block the arrow - and I needed the most fundamental workout, not the trick of the buff.

But since it's a real battle right now, I don't need to be polite to the enemy, right?

The moment I let go of the strings, my ears suddenly exploded. An inconspicuous grayish-brown shadow swept like lightning over the short but incomparably long distance of one hundred and fifty paces, and with a chilling whistling sound pierced the throat of the skinny orc in the chair who was leading the other shamans in the spell.

It was just what happened in the flash of light, and no one reacted from start to finish. Even when the shaman leader fell feebly, the greenskins did not realize what was happening, and were still grinning at the various bared teeth on the human side.

In the next moment, the orcs and the shamans chanting the incantations all fell silent, and they all looked at the corpses on the ground with expressions of disbelief and consternation.

Saizeriya also gave up holding the spell and rushed straight to my side: "Tsubasa, how did you do it!?"

"How do you do it, even a normal wooden bow can shoot that far. ”

As I said, Uncle Hansen had ordered the archers on the walls to be ready to fire a volley, and to start firing the moment the orcs charged.

The short blonde hair looked like he couldn't hold my arm and shook it vigorously: "But the problem is that the hit rate ...... No, it's the accuracy that is terrible, hey, you've practiced archery before?"

"Sort of. In calm mode, I didn't want to spend much energy dealing with the girl next to me, so I replied very perfunctorily, "Be prepared, the other party won't just forget it." ”

The orcs will definitely want to retaliate aggressively, and only by viciously suppressing them with a more ferocious momentum than them can it be regarded as a real deterrent.

As expected, some of the orcs at the head of the line raised their hands at me and shouted wildly, drawing the attention of their companions.

OK, it's time for the show. (To be continued......)
