"Won't the last man retreat......" Larry chuckled, looked down at the soldiers who were arranged, and couldn't help but sigh and whisper to himself: "They didn't know they were here to die......

"Sir Larry!" Suddenly, a group of soldiers hurried up to Larry. When Larry saw them, his eyes froze, and he asked, "What's the matter?" The soldiers were all covered in blood, their armor and weapons were stained with blood, and several were wounded. It seems to have been a fight.

One of the low-ranking officers at the rank of team officer stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Battalion commander, we are the scout troops sent before. Just half an hour ago, we encountered a large number of orcs while we were scouting ahead, but fortunately they didn't react quickly, just sent a team of orcs. But they were so well equipped that we barely escaped after a bloody battle. These orcs are elite. ”

"It's coming so quickly!" Larry said through gritted teeth. According to the imperial system, the establishment of a squad is one hundred. At this time, there were only twenty or thirty people standing in front of him. It was just a face-to-face encounter, and the other party only sent a team of orcs, and actually disabled a team of 100 people of the Thunder Legion, which was already considered an elite in the emperor's ** team.

Larry didn't say anything else, he clenched his sword and sighed, "Alright, you guys go down." ”

"But battalion commander, the orc army is about to arrive, they have at least tens of thousands of them, we only have more than a thousand brothers here, how can we stop it......" The team officer wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Larry: "Enough, I said, go down!"

The officer's eyes were about to burst into flames: "Battalion commander, we have abandoned a large number of heavy weapons in order to arrive as soon as possible, and now each soldier only retains basic equipment. Even if we rely on natural danger, it is impossible to resist the orcs! We stay here only to die! The brothers are not afraid of death, but we need a reason to die!"

"Then I'll give you a reason!" Larry finally couldn't help but burst out: "Of course I fucking know it's a death." But this is the hell's military order! This is the hell's military order that put our three battalions here and send us to death! I'll tell you directly. You can also see that the 30,000-strong army of orcs is about to arrive in Rhea City. There were only 10,000 troops in the city of Rhea, and if it was tough, there was no need to fight at all. And after the destruction of Rhea City, the hinterland of the empire will be exposed to the iron hooves of the orcs. Do you want to see orcs slaughter the unarmed people of the Empire?

The captain looked surprised. And Larry gradually calmed down after venting all the depression in his heart. He sighed and whispered to the team officer: "I'm sorry, it's me who is bad, you can go back." ”

The captain gave Larry a deep look, "I see." Don't worry, battalion commander, I won't say it. ”

Larry nodded, looking into the distance, "Get ready to fight." ”

Heavy footsteps came, and the orcs were approaching.

......

The change came very suddenly, at one o'clock in the morning, the military operations headquarters of the city of Rhea was brightly lit, and all the officers were deployed through the night. At this moment, a magic crystal in the center of the hall suddenly lit up, flashing with a strong red light. Frank and Roque were originally directing the deployment of the operation, and when they saw this red light, their faces suddenly changed at the same time.

They looked at each other, and Roque was surprised, "No! Could it be fake, this can't be." ”

Frank said in a deep voice: "No, this war crystal is specially made by Herra, and it will never go wrong." ”

"Then there is only one explanation......" Roque smiled bitterly, "The first layer of defense, it's over." "War

Crystal stone is a simple alchemy prop, specially used for troops to march and fight, can reflect the situation of the army, emitting different colors of light to represent the different states of the army. Green for normal, yellow for engagement. And those who have yellow gradually turning to red are the casualties of the battle. The closer you get to red, the greater the casualty. And when it turns completely red, it means that the army is completely wiped out.

According to the previous information, it is now less than a quarter of an hour before the battle begins!" "The first layer of defense, the three battalions with the most powerful combat effectiveness in the defenders of Rhea City, were actually broken through the defense line in less than a quarter of an hour by the orcs. Although there are 30,000 orcs. However, the path of the canyon where the three battalions were stationed was narrow, and the maximum number of orcs in an attack was about the same as that of the three battalions, plus the defensive equipment they carried, although they would definitely be broken through in the end, they would definitely delay for more time, and they should not be broken through in just ten minutes.

Frank's face changed: "If they are broken through in ten minutes, then the two battalions behind ......"

Roque smiled wryly and nodded.

"It's over......" Frank shook his head vigorously and said, "Quick, withdraw those two battalions." ”

Roque sighed and said, "It's too late, it's too late." The three blocking points were too close to each other to allow them to retreat. ”

Sure enough, as Roque expected, within half an hour, the remaining two magic crystals turned red one after another. This means that the last line of defense against the orcs is broken. And the time has only dragged on for less than an hour.

"This orc army has exceeded our expectations. We may face an army of orcs that are more numerous and more combat-ready than expected. Originally, we were supposed to hold out for an hour, but now, the defense line was broken before the scheduled time was reached. We need to hold on for at least one more hour now. Three of the city's most elite battalions have been lost. With the rest of the people, it is absolutely unstoppable. Frank said anxiously: "Where's the reinforcements, when will they come?"

"I've been contacted, the closest to here is the main hall of the Demon Swordsman Temple, the five hundred most elite fifth-order demon swordsmen have quickly arrived, and the surrounding branch halls have also sent elite demon swordsmen are coming one after another. The 1st Division of the Thunder Legion was also on a rapid march throughout the army. But it will take at least two hours. The 3rd and 4th Divisions, which are further away, have no need to be counted on, and it will take at least two and a half hours. Roque replied. Immediately, he stood up and took off the long sword that hung on the wall. Turned around and walked out of the combat headquarters: "It's useless to talk too much, I'll go and gather the army to strengthen the city defenses first, Lord Frank, you should also hurry up and organize the professionals of the Dragon Divine Temple." It's an uphill battle. ”

Frank smiled wryly, stood up helplessly, and left the command as well. Yes, it's useless to talk too much, and it's the right way to find a way to resist the orcs.

......

After a long time, the sky had turned white and brightened dimly. And at the head of the city, all the soldiers were on high alert. Orcs, it could come at any time.

Frank had changed into a full set of knightly heavy armor, and stood at the head of the main city wall to the north with a spear in one hand and a heavy sword in the other. He had just informed Roque that he had concentrated most of the city's forces on the northern wall. In the remaining three walls, only a small number of troops were left on guard. Because, this wall is facing the direction that the orcs are coming in - the north.

At about five o'clock in the morning, there was a sudden noise in the woods ahead. Soon, teams after teams of majestic orc warriors poured out of the woods, as if there was no end in sight. These monsters, with an average height of more than two meters and eight, slowly stopped outside the range of Rhea City's bow and arrows, and lined up in a neat phalanx.

"Tsk, what a big deal, take out 30,000 elite orcs at a time, it seems that they are bound to win this Rhea City!" Frank looked down at the assembled orc army and clenched the weapon in his hand.

......

Yun Xiaoyu held the Gulan double sword, stood on the side city wall and looked at the orc warriors who were lining up, turned back to the back and shouted, "Lord Ark Hall, they are here!"

At this time, Ark was slowly walking up the city wall, followed by more than forty demon swordsmen. In the battle of the canyon, the Demon Swordsman Temple also lost a certain amount of magic swordsmen. More than forty magic swordsmen are already all the magic swordsmen in the city who can take their hands at the moment.

Yak waved his hand at Yun Xiaoyu and said, "I know, you go, just pay attention to protect yourself." Alas, you kid. Ark was also helpless for Yun Xiaoyu. Yun Xiaoyu went to Frank to apply for the battle, and after losing the battle, he came back and pestered Ark, clamoring to go to the front city wall. Although Yak's strength is much higher than Yun Xiaoyu, he doesn't have time to take care of Yun Xiaoyu when the fight starts, so it's better to be a favor and give it to him.

Suddenly, Yak stopped Yun Xiaoyu again, took out a set of infantry heavy armor from the storage ring and threw it to Yun Xiaoyu: "Put it on for me." "The infantry heavy armor weighs dozens of catties, but it is not a big problem for Yun Xiaoyu, whose strength has reached the third order. Moreover, although the infantry heavy armor is not a sophisticated equipment, it is heavy after all, and it is difficult to cut through ordinary swords, and it can also play a certain protective role.

Yun Xiaoyu stretched out his hand to catch it, was stunned for a moment, and soon put on his heavy armor, made a magic swordsman salute to Yake, and turned around and ran towards the main city wall.

......

On the main city wall, Roque, the commander of the armament of Rhea City, dressed in iron armor and holding a long sword, climbed the city wall and stood side by side with Frank: "Lord Frank, our army is ready, the first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth battalions have all climbed the northern city wall, ready for battle, and the seventh and tenth battalions are on standby in the city as reserves. The three surrounding walls also sent 500 garrisons and 500 logistics battalions to patrol and guard. What happened to the professionals of the Dragon Temple?"

Frank muttered, "All the combat power of our Knight Templar in the city has been concentrated, and there are a total of seventy-four knights above the third order. Due to the heavy casualties in the previous battle in the canyon, the Warrior Temple was left with only about fifty people left. The Archer Sanctuary of sixty third-order archers was also ready. And the magician formation of the Magic Temple has reached the main city wall, and each of them is equipped with a mana recovery potion, which can release magic at any time to assist in battle. Due to the scarcity of the Demon Swordsman Temple, it was arranged on the side city wall, and only a few of the stronger ones fought on the main city wall. ”
