Chapter Ninety-Three: The Wind Rises Hillbride-Wanton-Detective
"It's really a spectacular scene, but I don't know how magnificent the original Hillbride battle was!"
Holding on to the female wall in front of him, Kyris squinted at the outside of the city, the orc barracks that stretched for dozens of miles wrapped the three outer layers of Nanhai City in death, and there was almost no gap. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Humph!"
Standing next to the half-elf mage, Arthas snorted coldly and didn't make any other statement, he and Kelreth are not new acquaintances, knowing that what the mage in front of him said is unreliable, but in fact, he has already begun to observe the details of the orc camp in all aspects, and the spiritual power tentacles derived from the other party are not deliberately perceived, and they have detected hundreds of them, which is simply terrifying.
"Fortunately, the troops of the South Guard Tower Fortress have already entered the city..."
"It's just, there are so many orcs, you can't see the edge at all..."
"Don't look at it, how many troops are still in the city, this little army..."
"I heard that the fleet bound for Kurtilas is already on its way..."
...
Also standing on the city wall were a large group of local nobles of Hilbride, most of whom were pale to see the endless sea of green outside retreating into a corner, talking about all kinds of gossip in each other's ears.
"Okay! These orcs, it looks like a lot, but most of them look like orc slaves who have just been freed from captivity, even if they give him a ladder, they may not have the strength to climb up, what are they afraid of!"
Only the city lord of Nanhai City and a few nobles in military uniforms were present, all the time leaning tightly against the edge of the female wall, calmly observing the situation outside the city, and after hearing the whispers like flies buzzing behind him, Herni Mareb glanced at the prince and his party who were ignoring, then turned his head and glared at the nobles who had shrunk into a group, and said in a cold voice.
This kind of empty siege, for a veteran like him who has experienced World War II and used to eat siege warfare, he can see at a glance that it is greasy, except for less than one percent of the orcs who are really armor-piercing, most of the orcs don't even have a decent weapon, even if the weapons are only standard equipment snatched from the hands of humans, but for the orcs whose body is one size higher than that of humans, most of the Lordaeron standard equipment is something that can only be seen and cannot be worn, and the two-handed swords as standing weapons are too light and too short。
"Your Highness, let me lead the team to attack!"
There was another group of people who were also coldly watching, there were only three or four in total, all of them were wearing Lordaeron standard hardcover full-body armor, and the one-handed swords at their waists were also different from ordinary standard equipment, they were all knightly swords that were barely decorated with a little ornate decoration, and after sneering at the Hilbride aristocratic group cowering in the corner, the middle-aged warrior who took the lead stepped forward and said to Arthas, and the few behind him followed closely, and their eyes were also fixed on the prince's face in front of them.
"Knight Blair, you only arrived last night, and the border guards of the South Guard Tower have also marched to the limit for several days, so let's recover our morale and physical strength first!"
Glancing at the Grand Paladin Lord behind him, Arthas turned to the commander of the garrison of the South Guard Tower Fortress who walked over and said in a warm voice.
The resistance of the Whirlwind Knights only barely lasted less than three days, and it was completely defeated under the impact of the orc wolf cavalry, and only the remnants of less than a brigade fled back to Nanhai City, so far, in the northern hilly area of Nanhai City, Nordammere's direct gateway was forcibly pried open by the orc army, but this wave of green torrent was taught to be a man by Dalaran's mage legion when attacking Nordammere the next day, without saying a word, he turned around and smashed headlong at Nanhai City, which was also close at hand, and in just over five days, it surrounded the only remaining hub city in the Hillbride area。
The sacrifice of the Whirlwind Knights is not completely useless for Nanhai City, at least the nearest support force, a full field legion of the South Guard Tower Fortress rushed to Nanhai City in a hurry, but a long time of extreme marching is a great drain on the morale and physical strength of a unit, even if it is a field force in the first echelon of the Lordaeron Kingdom, it is not so easy to recover.
"Your Highness! I have already observed, except for the encirclement of the first echelon, about three brigades of orcs, who are barely fully equipped and capable of fighting orc warriors, and all of them are slaves who don't even have a decent weapon, and these wastes may even stand for a while and gasp for breath!
Glancing contemptuously outside, the southern guard tower fortress is located on the road connecting Hillbride and the Silver Pine Forest, because it bears a part of the town guarding the border, that is, the reason for the defense of Gilneth in the south, more than two standing field regiments are stationed all year round, and it is the number one fortress fortress of the southern platoon of Lordaeron. And the Blair Knight, who has been the commander of the South Guard Tower Barrier for nearly ten years, is naturally no longer familiar with the Hillbride area, especially the various concentration camps where the orc slaves are held, which is also a good place for this veteran soldier who has experienced the bloody storms of World War II to remember the past for a long time, and for the orc slaves who seem to have completely lost the will to fight, he has gradually been vigilant from the beginning, and then only his mind is full of contempt, yes, this group of hostile races that once brought monstrous disasters to the entire human kingdom has been completely shattered and can no longer get up, even if he sees the green wave in front of him now, The commander of the South Guard Tower still didn't pay too much attention, and even Kyrrys, who had been carefully observing the outside of the city, felt it, and glanced back at the middle-aged knight opposite.
"Moreover, Your Highness, I don't need too many troops, as long as I lead my personal guard cavalry regiment, I can take advantage of the evening when they are more lax to storm the opposite phalanx, at least to hit the arrogance of the orcs!"
However, as a commander for many years, Knight Blair still naturally retains a certain degree of vigilance, at least the raid plan has been initially approved by Arthas.
"Yes, however, there are too few commanders of the personal guards, and then draw from various units in Nanhai City to form a large raid cavalry brigade, choose your manpower, Knight Blair!"
However, in the spirit of prudence, Prince Lordaeron rubbed his lips and was about to say goodbye, but suddenly saw Kelseth on the side give him a vague look, and after thinking for a moment, Arthas said to the commander in front of him.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
With a happy face, Blair took several captains behind him to give a military salute, turned around and went down the city wall, and walked towards the military camp in the city.
"What do you say!"
After dismissing the commander of the South Watchtower, Arceth frowned and said to Kelreth who came over.
"Just let him probe the situation, I feel a little wrong!"
"Oh! Mage Kyris found out, too?"
Arthas was about to say that something was wrong, but the Grand Lord of the Paladins behind him was the first to speak.
"As the one said just now, there are too few elites, although at a glance there are mountains and seas, but more than ninety-five percent of them are orc slaves who have just been released from the concentration, and they are indeed not even qualified to be cannon fodder!"
"Maybe the orcs aren't elite in the first place!"
Glancing at a sea of green orcs in the distance, Arthas pouted.
"Not to mention ordinary orcs, high-level warriors with a single light top tank, I haven't found any of them!"
Frowning and glancing at Prince Lordaeron, Kyris swept directly past the other party and looked at the legendary paladin, although until now, he didn't know who the other party was, no way, the water of the silver hand was too deep, so that he could casually throw out a legend that had never appeared in front of the world, but the other party's vision and combat power were real.
"What kind of high-level combat power can the current orcs have?"
Snorting coldly, Arthas was obviously very dissatisfied with Kelryth's ignorance, and still retorted.
"Yes, Your Highness, at least one!Grom?Hell Roar!"
Glancing helplessly at Prince Lordaeron, who had begun to play with his temperament again, Kyrreth said in a low voice.
"How could he be alive!"
However, this time it was the Holy Knight High Lord who had always been as calm as water, and at this moment, the legendary silver hand stared at Kelreth with a blue face.
"It's still alive!, my lord! It seems that Lordaeron's information on Arathi is a bit outdated!" )
