，

The temperature in autumn and winter is not too low, but the cold air seeping into the bones in Zou Zhu's belly can't be stopped even if he wears more clothes, and for Lorraine, this is more uncomfortable than the cold winter.

Lorraine could only burn the fireplace in the room all night to drive away the cold air in the house, and the jumping fire in the fireplace illuminated Lorraine's backshow.

The orcs are almost blocked at the gates of Cronie City, and Nedel City is about to be attacked.

At this time, Lorraine's heart was not steady at all, and when Wei Zheng went out for a spin and came back. It was only in the middle of the night, and Lorraine couldn't sleep anymore, racking her brain to think about the current situation.

Vera patted her mouth and yawned after completing her night patrol, and began to talk to Lorraine without a match, and after waiting for a long time, Lorraine asked questions again and now Vera was silent, and when she turned her head to look, she realized that she was lying on the table and fell asleep.

In order to beware of the orcs still having a back hand, Lorraine was caught off guard by this kind of situation. Lorraine asked Vera to expand the search area to detect if the orcs had new reinforcements arriving.

After this incident, Lorraine has put away his contempt for the orcs, and no longer thinks that they are just a group of brainless savages, and they will never come up with any tricks.

Rather, the orcs are considered sophisticated strategists, considering every situation that may arise.

The tire-throwing coffee bag book bar is complete

It's a night shift every day, Rao is Vera's physique, and she is also tired, and Vera herself is a sleepy bug, which belongs to the type of sticking to the bed and falling down. At this time, I fell asleep on the table.

Lorraine sighed softly, gently touched Vera's smooth blue length, and then picked Vera up.

Vera wrinkled her nose and snorted dissatisfiedly, but still didn't wake up, but twisted twice in his arms, found the most comfortable position and continued to sleep.

Lorraine grinned and said secretly: Silly girl. What do you eat all day, and why is it so heavy?

He placed Vera on his bed and pulled the covers over her.

Lorraine threw two pieces of wood into the fireplace, sat down at the table again, marked the whereabouts of the orcs detected by Vera on the map, and then compared them with the map, deduced the battle plan in the sand table,

The sky was getting brighter, and it was still gray outside, and the fireplace in the bedroom was burning brighter and brighter.

Vera let out two muttered dreams and rolled up the quilt very dishonestly.

In the silence of the morning, there was a sudden sound, which was very faint at first, only a buzzing sound was heard, and soon the sound became noisy, followed by the loud sound of the military trumpet.

A group of officers rushed out of the courtyard, scrambling to ask, "What's wrong?"

There was a sharp knock on the door of Lorraine's bedroom. Probably seeing the lights in the house and knowing that Lorraine was not sleeping, an officer did not wait for Lorraine to speak, directly pushed open the door, and said hurriedly: "My lord." They're coming!"

Lorraine turned his head to look at the officer, and said calmly, "Laurie, demeanor, pay attention to demeanor."

Who's coming?"

Laurie swept first to see the messy Wen Jiàn on Lorraine's table, and then saw Sister Vera lying on the bed with her back to the door, hugging the quilt at the moment. Revealing sleek fragrant shoulders.

Laurie hurriedly turned to face out the door, turned his back to Lorraine, and said, "I'm sorry, my lord, the whole army of orcs has come out and is already approaching us. ”

Lorraine said with a slight soothing: "What should come will come." Let's go, let's go see. ”

Laurie admired Lorraine's composure. Xindao: No wonder people can be governors, who can compare with this bearing.

Just now, the orcs broke through the early morning twilight. As they approached the city, the whole of Crony shook, and the soldiers threw themselves onto the walls while wearing their clothes.

Lorraine walked over and covered Vera with the quilt again, then put on a light armor, hung the sword around her waist, and rode with Laurie to the wall.

Along the way, residents who were woken up by the sound of military trumpets and the clamor of passwords came out of their homes and "looked at the soldiers running down the long street in trepidation."

Regular army, militia, citizens who volunteered to fight. Bring your own armor and weapons, and quickly go to your respective posts according to the assigned mission area.

Before the sun even appeared, the whole city of Crony had already woken up.

Lorraine rushed under the walls with the Praetorian Guards, jumped off his horse, and ran up the walls in three or two steps.

The walls of the city were already densely packed with soldiers. Soldiers carrying arrows and rolling logs nervously shuttled through the city walls.

General Larry, who was on duty in the city at night, nodded to Lorraine with a solemn face at this moment, and said, "My lord." ”

"Hmm" Lorraine chucked his chin and looked intently at the orcs outside the city.

White mist rolled on the ground. The visibility in the early morning is only about ten miles, and beyond is a gray world.

At the edge of the mist, there were black shadows of half-orcs, who stood there silently like a forest.

The two legion commanders also climbed the city wall in heavy armor, and General Ferdolis shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I can't see how many of them there are." ”

Lorraine said, "More than seventy thousand, but never ninety. ”

The three generals had worked with Lorraine for a long time, and they all had a blind trust in Lorraine's intelligence, because Lorraine never missed the fact.

General Lao Qiu exhaled heavily and said, "Good guy, seventy or eighty thousand people, our basket may not be able to hold such a big fish." ”

Lorraine sneered and said, "It's okay. Chop them off in half first, and I'm afraid that the rest will run. If you can't do it, I'll also be there. Prepare for the battle, and execute it according to the count. "Stew

"Yes, sir. ”

The half-beast worshippers gathered on the west side of Crony City, and when the number of people reached about 80,000, they suddenly overwhelmingly advanced towards Crony City.

The sun leapt out from below the horizon, dispelling the fog from the grassland, revealing the full lineup of the orc forces below the city.

The orcs divided into three camps around Crony, each five miles apart, where the orcs put aside their differences for a moment and united for food and wealth.

The orc chiefs, with their faces painted in gold and white, rode on their mounts, and looked north against the fierce wind and sand.

The swarthy figure of Crony lay in front of them.

One of the patriarchs pointed to the city of Crony and said, "There, the young governor of Dafu is watching us like this." ”

The other patriarch sighed heavily and said, "Before I came here, I never thought that human beings would be so powerful!"

Hearing him say this, the patriarchs fell silent.

They have been fighting with humans for months, and they used to think that humans just rely on metal armor and steel swords, and the orcs can't beat the humans, and without these equipment, the humans are not as brave as the orcs.

Before this war, the two and a half orcs generally believed that their number was several times that of humans, and even human piles could consume human troops.

Then the cities, where countless grains, gold, and all kinds of wealth were stored, were in their pockets, and there were slaves and women. Orcs will be able to live a heavenly life without starvation and cold.

Even before the war, the orcs confidently believed that they didn't need to cooperate with the Scorpion King's tricks at all, just waiting, picking up the Scorpion King's advantage.

After two months of fierce battles with humans, the orcs finally saw the strength of the human race, and now the human beings are not like the legends, they are cowards shrunk in the shell of the iron turtle, and the human soldiers are not inferior to the orcs who grew up in battle.

On the battlefield of the Southern Front, a large group of 1,000 human cavalry could easily drive 3,000 half-orcs around.

Even a half-orc with a force of 5,000 people would not be able to surround a human brigade. Instead, they are usually scattered by human forces that rush in to reinforce them.

Later, the orcs even reduced the scale of the infiltration to about 100 people, and when they encountered Ney'an's army, they did not fight, and fled with their heads down.

"I doubt that the Scorpion King will be able to take over the human city. If he can't conquer the great city of mankind, then what's the point of us gathering here to fight the human race. "In today's situation, there is no way back. If we can't take any of the human cities in half a month, we'll all starve to death here. My tribe has slaughtered horses to feed their hunger. ”

"Alas" I too, the fighters even began to dig gerbils to eat. Damn the Scorpion King, he is the one who has driven us to where we are today. ”

"Yes, that's it, we were deceived by him, I know the city he said, hundreds of miles away, and there are four human cities along the way, he just laid it, and we can't get any benefits. ”

"Hmph!" the other patriarch snorted heavily in the back, and said in a strange way, "No one has a knife on your neck to force you to come here." ”

"You

"You can go if you want, whatever. The people of the text did not withdraw a few days ago. ”

"The people of Venari who stayed on the steppe. I heard that he was about to be killed by a group of people of unknown origin. Do you think they won't go back? ”

"Actually, I never counted on that dead scorpion, our target is the city ahead, I heard, the food stored in this city. It's enough for 100,000 people to eat for a year, a year! Think about it, we don't have to do anything for a year, but we can eat enough every day. ”

The orc patriarchs exclaimed in unison. 100,000 people eat for a year, and they can get as much grain as the river.

"Therefore, this time we not only have to work together, but also cooperate with the Scorpion King, and when the news of the defeat of the human city comes back, the human governor will definitely bring people back to save them, leaving the protection of the city wall, in the wilderness, we 80,000 people can definitely eat them to death. Having wiped out the human army, not only Crony City, but all the cities here will be ours. ”

"What the is this called, I heard that the big city that the dead scorpion went to fight is now devoid of warriors. And we have to fight a bloody battle with tens of thousands of human soldiers. After all the calculations, the cheap is taken advantage of by the dead scorpion. Let's just forget the human ark and let them fight the dead scorpion, and we can just hit an empty city. ”

"You know what, if we don't wipe out the human army, and fight them so that they don't have the power to fight back, how can we put down roots here.

That big city was in the hinterland of the human race, and even if Vichin and Torek were to conquer it, they would definitely not be able to defend it. And the city here, as long as it is laid, will be ours in the future.

Think of that kind of life, living in a house wrapped in gold, with endless wine, a human woman with tender skin and flesh, and I heard that humans bathe in hot water every day. ”

", the Scorpion King is his Scorpion King, what he beats down will definitely not divide us a little, we Lexovites want to live a good life, as long as we rely on ourselves. ”

"Okay, let's divide everything equally, now, start the siege!

After noon, the orc camp on three sides of Crony City began to move, and the orcs in the camp poured out of their nests and formed three huge formations.

Under Lorraine's gaze, about 30,000 orcs broke away from the formation and advanced towards Crony City.

The soldiers of the 7th and 10th Eastern Legions stood by under the city walls, and the Nern Legion and the Crony militia were in charge of resisting the city, clenching their weapons and waiting quietly for the enemy.

The orcs were more prepared this time, and the orcs who ran at the front carried a crude ladder. Many of the orcs in the back even had rudimentary shields.

General Larry watched the orc's actions, but smiled, and said in a low voice, "Dazuo, it seems to be the same as we expected." ”

Lorraine let out an "um" and said, "If it weren't for the fact that we had seen through the enemy's plan. If not Nedel has the best means. The actions made by the orcs at this moment are undoubtedly the most correct.

As you can imagine, once we were unprepared for the news that Nedel City was besieged, we ourselves were surrounded by orcs in Cronie City. In the hurry, I am afraid that there is only one way to withdraw the army back to Nedel City. ”

General Larry was silent for a while, and then said solemnly: "It is the luck of our people to have you in charge of Naian. ”

Lorraine thought about it, if there was no venture capital company in Belen, no high-altitude reconnaissance plane like Vera, and if he hadn't come to Naian, then this time Naian would probably not be able to withstand the attack of the half-beast.

Lorraine smiled slightly, then shook her head and said, "None of this is my credit, I just happened to meet it." ”

General Larry, of course, would not have understood that Lorraine was not being modest.

With a call to "release the arrow", full of intrigue and calculation, the battle of Crony City, which was later called a classic of a hundred battles, kicked off.

Inside the city of Nedel from after martial law was erected. Intense combat readiness began.

Although the official theory is that there is a large stream of orcs attacking the place, the basic truth of the common people's power and the official language has always been blind, this point of view, coupled with the tense atmosphere in the city that he saw, especially the order to allow entry and not leave, caused the Nedel people to complain, and many shops were closed.

Nedel made bold assumptions and sought confirmation in their hearts. Various versions of the statement were launched.

Some say that the south has lost the war, and our governor and tens of thousands of troops on the border do not know where to flee, and the orcs have come in.

Those who held such alarmist statements were immediately invited to tea by the officers and soldiers of the guard house by the people of the venture capital company.

Especially at this crisis juncture when Catherine and Adele are upset and irritable, it is already terrible for two girls with endocrine disorders and early menstrual cycles, not to mention that these two girls still hold power.

These people are censored after being examined and re-examined. confirmed that it was just a group of life failures and distorted hearts. A boring person who harms others and is not good for himself.

The soldiers of the guard gave a gentle stick to subdue people with virtue, and they were soon persuaded and educated.

Usually at this time, there will be a moral and ethical model recommended by the street, with a stern face, and a serious voice to tell them: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, our big boss and two proprietress in Lorraine, tsk." ”

When the moral model said this, the metropolis sighed with fascination and affection: "Oh, our Governor-General, we are the peerless great men who are benevolent and virtuous, the extraordinary military strategists, the great human protection, the hearts of the people who love and trust the people of Naian, the creators and practitioners of advanced military thought, the wonderful strategists and tacticians, the battlers who have won all battles, the generals among generals, and the symbol of invincibility." Only those who have finished this passage without breathing word for word can receive a special allowance from the Governor's Palace

How fortunate we are to be guided by Lord Lorraine and Sister Catherine and Adele, and under their wise leadership, our Ne is in a good place.

A few orcs are not enough to deal with, how can our Governor defeat the battle, what is your intention in saying this? What is your motive? Muscle throws. Just

Soon, the tavern obediently posted a slogan in the room with the slogan "Don't talk about state affairs" to remind everyone to care about your back.

However, the vast number of people in Naian fully exploited their essence of the people, and soon put forward a more reasonable and convincing statement: Our governor's young man has lost the battle, and he dare not let people say it. Now I am cowering in the city of Kroni and dare not move. The orcs have run in with impunity, and we are in danger

For a while, rumors were flying all over the sky, and various sources such as the uncle party emerged in an endless stream, and the Nedel people were also shocked.

Those who knew the truth were strictly ordered by Catherine to shut up, so naturally they didn't dare to go out to publicize it, and Catherine could only arrest the most hated part of them. The rest can only be left to the test, and the more you want to clarify such a thing, the more black it will become.

Anyway, within a few days, the Nedel people would know the truth, and Catherine and Adele counted each day, calmly waiting for the orcs to arrive.

Although the atmosphere of Nedel City is solemn, it is still calm, and Nedel City, which has not been warred for more than a hundred years, is silently waiting for another test.
