After a day's rectification and investigation, James found out the situation of the army, except for the eight hundred regular troops who had been trained for a long time, the others were temporarily conscripted peasant blacksmiths and slaves of the nobles, the former had basically no daily training when he arrived here, and the latter could only be regarded as battlefield cannon fodder even if he was equipped with weapons and equipment.

Because of the above reasons, James did not even encounter much resistance from the lower soldiers when he took over, and after the vice-captain Pavey repaired a few thorns, the work went exceptionally smoothly.

At this time, hearing that there were thousands of orcs outside the village, the group was inevitably shocked into a cold sweat, this thousand people is not a small number, in such a flat geographical environment, the wooden wall of several meters high can not effectively resist the collision of the Kodo beasts, and according to the combat level of the two sides, the two thousand people stationed in the cuckoo village are not enough to cut each other, the orcs are called the existence of a natural fighting race.

The time, the place, the people, and the people do not seem to be on the side of mankind tonight.

The bell in the village tower was ringing properly, and the village was filled with the sound of invective and curses, and Marlowe even saw people crouching in the corner of the wall in fright.

However, when Marlowe and his party rushed to the wooden wall in full armor, the expected orc siege did not happen.

The humans inside the walls panicked, but outside the walls there was silence, and the atmosphere was eerie and terrifying.

"What's going on, orcs?" James asked, grabbing Ethan.

It stands to reason that orcs would blow their horns before attacking, and then howl and pounce on their targets in front of them, but what is going on now?

"I don't know...... Sir, I really saw the orcs. Ethan felt herself tremble.

Throwing away the pale Ethan, James said to Marlowe: "Go, go up and have a look." ”

The two climbed the escalator behind the wooden wall and finally saw the scene outside, there were indeed tribes with torches outside the village, but not as many as Ethan said, at most four or five hundred people, and not all of them were orcs, Marlowe saw that more than half of the team mixed with minotaurs and orcs were adult minotaurs, and the rest were orcs.

"That bastard, you can't even count the number of people!" James cursed with a spat spit.

Marlowe knew who he was scolding, and turned his head to see Ethan hiding behind a wooden wall with his weapon, his body shaking more than the dustpan that sifted chaff.

Cowards will always subconsciously amplify the strength of the enemy, and it is estimated that Ethan is like this. Erasing this thought, Marlowe carefully observed the orcs outside the village, these guys were very poorly equipped, most of the body protection was leather armor, and the weapons in their hands were also strange, not to mention scimitars and maces, and he even saw some orcs holding wooden barrels for carrying water.

Although the equipment was poor, the people of these tribes still held their chests and handed their backs to their comrades, the distance between the two sides was only a few tens of meters, if the humans released arrows, the minotaurs and orcs standing in the first row would inevitably be seriously injured, but they still stood there motionless.

James looked at these tribes suspiciously, although the other party was very imposing, but no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like he was here to kill, and he didn't feel the other party's desire to kill......

Pavi touched the escalator and whispered, "Sir, the personnel are basically in place, do you want to shoot him with arrows?"

"Wait, listen to my instructions before acting. "James always felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, a minotaur suddenly stood up and shouted, "Chief, are you there, I'm Lei Jie!"

"Maba, it's that guy!" Marlowe couldn't distinguish the other man's voice, and quickly stood up from behind the wooden wall and shouted. "It's your own people, everyone put away their weapons and don't let go of arrows!"

Marlowe's move immediately caught everyone's attention. When will humans be able to call orcs their own? Damn, this can't be a spy!

A few quick reflexes immediately aimed their bows and arrows at Marlowe.

"Bastards, put your weapons away!" James was furious. "Don't you see that Lao Tzu is still here?"

How dare these guys turn their weapons at their own commanders!

Seeing this, the twenty paladins who came to Cuckoo Village to find people immediately activated the knight's holy light. In the night, twenty knights shrouded in golden light are extremely eye-catching, and at this time, these soldiers who do not know the truth must be suppressed, otherwise one person will cause a chain reaction.

What is the backbone of the human army? not a few mages, but a relatively large number of paladins.

This is not unrelated to the belief of human beings, who believe in two gods on this continent. One is Octavian the Father, who bestowed fire and wisdom on humanity and allowed them to bid farewell to their life of blood and establish a kingdom of abundance. The other is the Holy Angel, who guards the peace of the human world and cleanses all evil and filth.

Paladins are a group of people who have been blessed by the Holy Angels, and are the guardians of the human world chosen by the Holy Angels. Although more than a dozen of the twenty paladins who came to Cuckoo Village were recruits who had only graduated from the Holy Light Church this year, these ordinary soldiers didn't know about it.

Suddenly, a ragged guy with a bow and arrow jumped out of the darkness and shouted: "I'm the deputy commander Biso, kill them at my order, they are spies sent by the tribe!"

This man was also a paladin, and after he finished speaking, he unleashed the holy light to shoot an arrow in the direction of Marlowe, but before the arrow could be fired, a dazzling golden light fell from the sky......

Boom!

James's whole body shone with holy light, and he smashed the peso to the ground like a god, and raised his head, the light in James's eyes made it impossible to look directly.

"Whoever intends to assassinate the chief will die!"

Marlowe was taken aback, how could the person who was still standing next to him just now appear on the top of the thief's head, and then look at the person whose limbs were twisted on the ground would definitely not live. Is this the true strength of a high-level paladin?

James's hand really shocked everyone, and the paladin didn't even resist a move in front of him, from the sudden dazzling light to the loud sound of the earthquake, the strong visual impact was more intimidating than the skills of twenty ordinary paladins. What's more, James unrestrainedly released the wings composed of golden light on his back to tell everyone that he was a high-level paladin and a core member of the royal family that guarded the empire.

The peasants, blacksmiths, and servants who had become soldiers temporarily immediately put down their weapons, followed by the soldiers of the regular army of the Empire, all with awe-inspiring and almost fanatical expressions on their faces, this is a high-ranking paladin, the most powerful weapon of the Holy Angels in the world.

"Ethan. ”

"Yes, sir, I'm here. "As a peasant at the bottom of the empire, Ethan felt that his life was worth it to be able to get in close contact with legendary characters so closely.

"Open the door. James put away his golden wings and changed back to his normal appearance.

"Yes!" Ethan puffed out his chest and made the most standard force he had ever made, he would not be afraid, there was the most powerful paladin here, and he believed that no orc of the tribe would be able to storm the village.
