Chapter 416: Armageddon (4)
οΌ
The half-orcs of the Budo Abendan tribe rushed to the last moment. Dedicated to the city of Dingzan.
At the beginning, after the Ashengdan tribe defected to the empire, Lord Lorraine saw himself take office. It's a good thing to "have a good experience".
Hence it. With a stroke of his pen, he drew a circle in a borderland, rich in water and grass in the interior of Naider's province, and let them recuperate here.
In this way, first, it can show the high demeanor of Lord Lorraine, and treat these orcs who have taken refuge in them calmly, and "buying bones with a thousand gold" can set an example for other hesitant orc tribes.
Second, moving them inland can be convenient for surveillance. I also saved myself as the big one.
Those orcs don't know if they don't get fed. After eating and drinking, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and while picking his teeth, he scolded Lord Luo for being a big fool, and then slapped the characteristic huge ass of the orcs, and ran back to the grassland upside down, continuing their old murderous and arsonous deeds.
Later, the southern orcs invaded. Borders are tight. Smoke rises.
In order to defend his own territory and prevent those half-orc cubs from crossing the line, Lord Lorraine did his best, with his double-flower red sticks, and the brothers who could fight to the death with each other.
At the same time, he had to worry about the movements of the orcs who had surrendered.
In case the other party learned from Huang Dagai's hand when he played Cao Boss in Chibi back then, he faked surrender. True stabbing knife took advantage of the opportunity for his own troops. turned his face and cut off his own back road.
At that time, Lord Luo couldn't even cry, but he couldn't find a place.
In addition, he was deeply influenced by the vast number of war literary and artistic works before, and deeply knew the importance of the traitor in the war.
The guys stood firm, killed their own people, and shouted like chopping vegetables. Ruthless than the invaders, tortured those prisoners to death, fiercely.
It is also easy to understand that the rebel groups also hate their traitors who betrayed their compatriots, and never spare them.
Therefore, Lord Lorraine spared no expense, brandished a ticket in one hand and a knife in the other, and after some coercion and temptation, he transferred all the men of the Ashengdan tribe of appropriate age to let them follow him to the south and beat their compatriots.
Those who left behind to cultivate the land and take care of the family were all orc women. Old people, and children.
In the words of Lord Lorraine: it's called a win-win. He has soldiers like orcs, which has strengthened his army, and the orcs can also take advantage of this war. Earn more wages, and maybe you can get war money or something. Improving lives.
At this time, the more than 1,000 orcs who followed the Gal Pa Shaman into the city were old. Those who do not meet the criteria for joining the army.
Despite this, the soldiers at the gate of the city were also very moved when they saw these Ashengdans.
In such a time of crisis, they can still rush over from hundreds of miles away to reinforce regardless of their personal safety, and these Abendan people are undoubtedly very aware of the sense of ownership of Naian.
Seeing that it was Catherine and Adele who greeted them at the door, Girba immediately hurriedly walked over to salute and shouted excitedly: "Your Highness, thanks to the kindness of our adults, we can finally eat a full meal and live a stable life."
I heard that someone dared to attack Nedel City, didn't they just want to take away our peace?
When the people in our clan heard this, they were all excited, and they all rushed to help the adults fight those wolf cubs, and I chose these people from the clan who could still fight, and volunteered to assist His Highness in the battle. Catherine looked at the Achadan people below in rudimentary equipment, these people were all dressed in the simplest coarse cloth clothes, and many of them were only immature-looking, only about fifteen or sixteen years old. They were also armed with crude spears. Carrying a tattered leather shield. Tense up and walked in the team with a determined face.
Catherine smiled mildly and said, "Great Shaman of Gelba, I have written down the merits of your Ashengdan. β
Girba hurriedly bowed and said, "It should be done, Your Highness, we orcs have a saying" Only a brave hunter who is not afraid of danger can hit a lion
Catherine was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then realized that the meaning of this sentence is the same as "only pay will be rewarded." It seems that some of the same.
She hurriedly praised: "Okay, that's a good point." β
But then something came to her mind. I couldn't help but shake my head, sighed lightly, and said, "But I have a group of people here who only want their own rights, but they don't want to fulfill their obligations at all." β
Girba smiled generously and said, "Your Highness, the truth is only seen in tribulation. β
Catherine snorted, then turned her head to see the logistics officer beside her, and immediately ordered: "Lord Ignatz, these brave Naian people will be handed over to you, and they will be treated as militiamen." β
She paused, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the tattered clothes of the orc warriors. At the moment, he added, "Remember to give them weapons and armor." β
Ignatz nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness." β
"The Great Shaman of Gelba" Catherine thought for a moment and said, "You follow me, I need someone who is familiar with orcs." And as far as I know, this time it's your enemies, the Durch tribe."
Gerba was stunned when he heard this, and his face suddenly darkened.
After a moment of silence, Ghelba suddenly laughed and said to Catherine: "Your Highness, they are killing themselves, and we Ashengdans are waiting for them here. β
The convoy of orcs sailed up the river, swaggering, as if they knew that the defenders in Nedel City would not attack. β»
Dozens of transport ships lined up on the wide river, carrying black scorpion flags.
The soldiers standing at the head of the city could clearly see the dense black heads on the transport ship through the sunlight.
The orc warriors gathered on the deck like a group of hillbillies, and indeed they were indeed a group of hillbillies, looking greedily at the majestic city of Nedel in front of them, especially the towering spire of the Doge's Palace. There was a bloodthirsty glint in their eyes.
In front of this is Nedel City.
The legendary Nedle
Prosperous Nedle
The beautiful Nedel is like a cloud
Drunken Nydel
Vichin and Torek stood at the bow of the ship, reaching out and grabbing the spire of the Doge's Palace, as if holding the city in their hands.
As long as you conquer this prosperous city in the human world, then he will become a new legend!
All orcs will remember his name in their hearts
At this moment, he suddenly felt a fire burning in his chest.
Take the city, kill all the humans in it, rob them of their treasures, and make all the humans tremble at the sight of their names.
He gasped heavily, then raised his clenched fists high into the sky, and let out a loud roar.
Immediately afterward, the orcs on board waved their weapons. Banging on the planks of the ship, howling like a beast.
"Whoa, whoa,..."
The orc's voice drifted along the river, clearly reaching the head of Nedle's city.
Their arrogant attitude immediately angered Nedle's defenders.
The sound of the military horn "Woo, Woo" sounded three times in succession. Then there was the sound of war drums of "dong dong".
The defenders of the city shouted three times in a row, "Long live, long live." β
The neat slogans reveal the well-trained and disciplined discipline of Nader's defenders.
It's like a group of children shouting around a few adults, only to be yelled at in turn, the half-orcs are chaotic and the beast's voice is fierce. But the slogans of mankind show a strong determination to fight.
Vichin and Torek had expected that seeing their orcs appear, Nedel City should be a terrified mess by now, and that humans might be running around the city like worms that had turned around.
But what he saw was a heavily guarded, morale-high, and armed to the teeth
Outside the city, it seems that there are no people for a long time, and the once busy Beni River is empty. There are only a few dozen orcs in the entire waterway.
This disappointed Vichin and Torek, who were ready to admire the panicked fleeing of the humans.
Vichin and Torek turned their heads and smiled at the woman in black beside them, and said loudly: "Deripeno, these brave humans, I was expecting to scare them, but I didn't expect them to shrink fast enough. Hahaha,"
Vichin and the leaders behind Torek burst into laughter, pointing to Nedel City, and shouting in their characteristic vulgar language.
Drino just smiled at the corners of his mouth, and his face immediately sank again.
Nei Ying did not appear at the mouth of the river as agreed, which made Drino worried, originally all the information in Nedel City had to be brought by Nei Ying, but now it seems that something is obviously wrong.
She didn't know anything about the city of Nedle, the size of the city's defenders, and the state of readiness for battle. Public opinion in the city and so on. These are important for Orc siege warfare.
In the plan, Drino thought that the humans would not be aware of their arrival until they appeared at the mouth of the river, and that Nedel would have only a day to prepare at most, and would definitely be terrified by the sudden appearance of their orcs.
And now Nedel City, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it is well prepared.
Unlike Vichin and Torek. It is believed that the city will be taken by climbing the city wall with more people. Drino also knows the art of war very well, and knows that if he wants to conquer a fortified city like Nidel, which has been in operation for hundreds of years, if there is no internal response, just by relying on the army to attack, then without more than ten times the force, it will not be able to capture it for more than half a year.
Drino put all his hopes on those Neiying, and only by this means could they rush into Nedel City and enter Nedel City. It was the first step in the Drino plan.
Now she can't get in touch with the people lurking in the city. Although they have a step-by-step detailed action plan. But Drino began to worry about whether the people in the city could cooperate with her in carrying out this sentence.
Drino had a faint feeling that his actions were out of control, and his heart became upset.
Looking at Vichin and Torek's smug looks, Drino's side became even more irritable.
Since the defeat in Crony City, Vichin and Torek have slowly changed his changes, and Drino has seen it bit by bit.
Originally, I just thought that Vichin and Torek were arrogant, and they suddenly encountered a setback, and they couldn't think about it for a while, but they didn't expect that in the originally smooth sailing voyage later, they actually encountered the dragon who robbed.
The blue dragon that looked slender and elegant. But with unrivaled power, they destroyed half of the fleet in a very short time, and even when the dragon rushed towards them, Drino didn't even have the strength to dodge.
After the dragon was gone, Drino saw Vichin and Torek's faces pale and bloodless.
From then on, Vichin and Torek became more impatient, shouting for the city of Naidle, and the eternal victory was constantly telling Drino what he was going to do after he took Ney.
Drino understands that Vichin and Torek desperately need a victory to regain their confidence, but feels that Vichin and Torek are becoming more and more paranoid about victory, and do not even allow their illusory plans to be questioned.
The big war was imminent, and Drino was in no mood to care about Vichin and Torek, anyway, the entire Durch tribe had already been faintly grasped by her. They are executing step by step according to their own plan.
Vichin and Torrick were dissatisfied when they saw Drino's gloomy and absent-minded face. Said loudly: "Humans don't see guests behind closed doors, we can't be so rude, go up a few people, tell sΓΉ humans, we're here."
Next to Drino, my sheep. When we conquer Nedel City, we'll have our wedding in the tallest building, and I'm going to give you all of humanity as a gift. β
Drino smiled helplessly.
The orcs around him started to heckle, and soon, a transport ship broke away from the south bank and headed towards the north shore, and when it saw that it was almost within range of the bow and arrow, the orc transport stopped.
Catherine, Adele, Lorina, and Sylmelia stood side by side at the head of the city, looking out toward the orc fleet on the river.
Behind them were the officers in charge of the city's defenses.
Girba's eyes blared at the black scorpion flag in the distance.
At this time, the transport ship that had broken away from the fleet slowly approached Nedel City under the gaze of everyone.
As soon as the ship came to a halt in the water, the orcs on it waved black scorpion flags and roared at the city, knowing that they were provoking without asking.
The soldiers of the city fired two arrows at the orcs, but they fell into the water a hundred and ten feet from the ship, and the orcs on board pointed at the wall and laughed wildly.
Ignatz saw Catherine sneer, immediately understood, turned to the officer behind him and said, "Is the ballista enough?"
The officer thought for a moment and said, "There are three ballistas that can hit there." β
Ignatz glared at him and said, "What are you waiting for?"
The officer said "yes," turned and hurried over.
At this time, the orcs faced Nedel City, stood in a row on the boat, and at the same time lifted their clothes, revealing their hairy thighs, and peed on Nedel City.
Catherine's face darkened, "Phew." took a bite and turned his back.
At this time, the people on the city wall only listened to three "bang, bang, bang" from not far away. The ringing sound. Three thick crossbow bolts flew out of the walls and shot straight at the transport.
The other orcs were laughing at the performance of their compatriots in front of them, wondering if they should follow up and play such a game in front of the humans. Then I saw three thin black shadows flying out.
Before the orcs on board could react, three crossbow arrows hit the transport ship from different directions.
One of them hit the rows of orcs on the ship, sending four or five orcs standing together into the air, before hitting the ship's plank and smashing up a cloud of debris.
The other two then shot through the planks and into the transport. The orcs on the ship immediately lay on the deck with their heads in their hands.
Seeing that they were under attack, the sailors desperately pushed the ship back.
Three more bolts were fired into the transport, two of which rushed across the deck, sending a rain of blood to the terrified screams of the orcs.
The defenders of Nedel on the city wall cheered loudly, but the orcs suddenly lost their voices, and even Vichin and Torek suddenly made a straight face, snorted coldly, and cursed, "Incompetent." He turned and walked out of the cabin.
Drino sighed and shook his head slightly.
The orc fleet moved a little closer to the south shore and slowly moved upstream under the gaze of the Nedeller.
More than ten miles east of Nedel City, the orc fleet approached the northern shore, after more than ten days of drifting at sea. The orcs finally set foot on the land of Nedel City.
Before the orcs had fully recovered from that dizziness, they immediately threw themselves into a major task, sacking the nearby villages, even though there was nothing left there.
Vichin and Torek first moved into a manor left by the nobility, and walked around the manor with their men, reluctantly trying to do their best: these are temporary, and there are more luxurious things waiting for us in the city.
Drino took a few turns around the nearby village. Even walked into a lot of houses. Wiped the dust off the table.
Drino's face sank suddenly, and the necromancer, who had been following her, suddenly asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
Drino smiled bitterly and said, "It's been at least four days since the people here moved out
The necromancer nodded and said, "Looks like this
"This shows that the humans have known that we are coming, and they have evacuated the inhabitants of the neighborhood. Drino said bitterly, "Our whereabouts were revealed a few days ago. And I don't know why.
I can only pray that it is not the worst-case scenario, the eyeliner in the city has not yet been exposed, the necromancer patted the slender shoulder next to Drino, and said, "No, the secret skills of our necromancers, if they die, I can feel it here."
Drino perked up when he heard this, looked at the necromancer closely, and said, "Master, are you sure?"
The necromancer nodded slowly and said, "Don't worry, they're still alive." Heart
