This annoying Kodomon was solved, but unfortunately no one cheered, and no one knew if the orc who launched the attack had a second such beast.

James hung the hammer back on his waist, then drew his great sword from his back and said, "Don't let your people come out tonight, lest you be injured by mistake." ”

Marlowe then remembered that he had forgotten such an important matter in a hurry about the situation here.

"Lei Jie, Lei Jie, come over to me!"

"Chief, what's the matter?" the minotaur in human-standard king-sized plate armor ran over covered in blood.

Seeing that Lei Jie didn't seem to be injured, Marlowe estimated that the blood was left by the invaders, so he ordered: "Go and gather the people in the village, let them not mess around, stay together honestly, and if anyone dares to disobey orders or have any suspicious behavior, then immediately tie them up." ”.

"Understood. Lei Jie no longer had the same smile on his face as before, he knew that the situation tonight was indeed very complicated, and it was very likely to lead to a bloody clash between the Warcry tribe and the human soldiers in the village, only to see Lei Jie's serious answer and then quickly ran towards the tribe's temporary residence.

Although Blackblade had already dealt with one of Orim's spies when he arrived, Marlowe wasn't sure if it was the only one. Similarly, Marlowe was unsure of any spies for the Great Chief among the people living in the village.

Could it be that these invaders are coming for the Warcry Horde?.

The reason why Marlowe has such doubts is because according to James's judgment a few days ago, the time of the first wave of orc attacks should be a week later, when the food stocks of some small tribes have basically been exhausted, and in order to survive, they will go south to wage war against humans, but it should not be now.

The situation is unclear and must be cautious.

"Looks like we'll have to catch two live mouths and ask about the situation. Marlowe thought to himself and prayed silently. "The goddess of the moon is above, and the ancestor Marta is above, I hope there won't be any more chaos tonight. ”

A group of human paladins also dealt with their opponents at this time, and everyone immediately surrounded James when they saw that he was there.

"The second group of people has passed, and we will hurry over to reinforce them, those ordinary soldiers can't deal with those orcs at all. James said. "Remember, tonight we're not only going to fight off the invaders, but we're also going to have to scratch a few tongues at the same time. ”

"Understood. ”

"The Light is with us!" James said, standing his sword in front of him.

"The Light is with us!" the paladins replied in unison.

When they arrived, the paladins of the second group were struggling with the invading orcs, but the huge disparity in numbers made them suffer a big loss, and they had to activate the Holy Light Protector to protect themselves, plus the constant assistance of the ordinary soldiers around them, which barely resisted the pace of the orc's attack.

"The Holy Light is above!" James unleashed the Holy Light and rushed into the battlefield first.

Green's group of young men also turned on the Holy Light and rushed after them, seeing more paladins appear, the morale of the human soldiers was greatly boosted, and they were desperately waving their weapons to fight the orcs in an almost frenzied manner.

James no longer held back at this time, and the golden wings representing the high-ranking paladins appeared from behind him, and his appearance clearly caused panic among the invaders.

"Damn, how could a high-ranking paladin be here!"

"Isn't this the most marginal region of the human realm, how can there be a high-level paladin!"

Some of the timid orcs began to shout in terror. No wonder they have such expressions, because the cuckoo village belongs to the outermost defense line of the human race, and there are generally only some ordinary soldiers, and there may be a few ordinary low-level paladins, and only when the orcs attack the big cities of Victor Province will there be high-level paladins appear, after all, that is where humans really need to protect.

"You cowards, watch my Barak kill him with an axe!"

However, as soon as the burly man finished speaking, James appeared in front of him and cut off his head with a sword, while all the others saw was a flash of golden light, and Barak was already detached.

Woo......

The horn sounded behind the orcs, and the menacing invaders immediately retreated like a tide.

It all happened so fast that the human soldiers didn't even react, they clutched their weapons tightly and kept attacking postures, until the orcs all disappeared into darkness, and the crowd erupted in loud cheers.

"Win, we win, we beat those damned orcs back!"

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that the several lines of defense established in the annual Winter War were just to consume the food, strength and physical strength of the orcs, and the purpose was to make the orcs not have enough strength to launch an attack when they arrived in several major cities.

All the arrangements of the upper echelons of the empire are for those big cities, so the focus of the annual war is not to resist but to consume, of course, while consuming the resources of the other side, it is inevitable to consume many things on their own side, including the loss of many people.

The defense of Victor Province as the first line of defense is the weakest, because the first line of defense is only a wake-up call for the beginning of the war, and once the orcs invade, it becomes a beacon to warn the rear, and all the soldiers here will become wolf smoke rising into the sky.

According to the regulations of the military department, each garrison can only retreat to the rear defense line when the number of people is more than forty percent, but the enemy encountered by the first line of defense is the most energetic, often in the first battle, the proportion of troops lost can be as high as seventy percent or even more, and the survivors are often a luxury in the face of the orc cavalry and even escape, so no one wants to take this fateful errand, which is why the original commander and deputy commander stationed in the cuckoo village have to give up on themselves, and the morale of the entire regiment is also low.

But today they won, and the number of people who died was only about four hundred, which was to the surprise of all ordinary soldiers, and some were even ready to surrender, which would at least allow them to live a few more days before becoming orc rations.

Everyone yelled to vent their long-suppressed emotions.

What, the house is on fire? No matter, even if you sleep in the snow tonight.

What, the wound is still bleeding? It has to be bandaged, medics, priests, come and take care of me, I don't want to die here!

For so long, the entire cuckoo village has never been as lively as it is today.

Marlowe saw the timid Ethan standing next to an orc corpse in the crowd, he was lucky to survive, only a little skin wound on his body, I saw Ethan laughing and wiping his tears, that appearance made people feel sad and want to laugh.
