779. Soldiers
On October 21, 997, the light of the two suns passed over the Iowa Pass and shone on the slopes west of the Jiehe River.
With shouts and trumpets, the teams crossed the pontoon bridge over the Boundary River and entered the Iowa Valley.
At the forefront of the road was a team of more than 3,000 Terran demon supporters, these Terrans were recruited from various tribes in the basin, and the first few rows of more than 100 people were knights above the junior level, they were dressed in fairly neat light armor, and held long swords and shields in their hands.
The leader of the Terran ranks is the high-ranking knight Tokav Vishidno Gallop, who is the youngest son of Rousseff Vichdno Gallop, after Honeyr was taken away by Zhuxi, he was forced to take over the Terran army by the White Wolf Servant Sivefer White Wolf, and now leads thousands of people to die in front of the orc army.
Tokayf walked at the front, looking back from time to time, and after passing through his own team and a few rows of orcs, a few machines, and even a group of beast gods, he could see the camp west of the Boundary River.
"Can we really succeed? I wish my father could get out of the way! ”
Tokay prayed quietly, and before he could leave, Sylvifer White Wolf found him and warned that if anyone in the Terran team dared to flee without permission, he would not hesitate to return to the camp and execute Rousseff after becoming an incarnation.
"Captain, I think you should worry about us cannon fodder instead of worrying about Mentor Rousseff."
The magician on the side, Pinkoto, looked at the boss's unrelenting appearance, knowing that this Rousseff's youngest son was particularly filial, and he must have been worried about the magician, so he reminded in a low voice, "If that wolf really dares to attack your father, it will be a war with the entire basin, but we people will be slaughtered by your own family soon." ”
"We have been under the control of the orcs for almost 300 years, and now we really died on the way back to the Galloping Horse Plains, which can be regarded as a remedy for the humiliation of our ancestors."
Tokaft's gaze turned to the nearer pass ahead, a certain martyr's sadness on his face.
"If they really can, I just hope they can give it a good time!"
"Don't!" Ping Ketuo was anxious all of a sudden, "You don't want to live anymore, think about the thousands of people who drag our families, we still want to live for a few more decades!" ”
"Then you tell the group of brutes behind you, and see if they let you live." Tokayaf said a word, and sped forward.
Behind the Terrans were two rows of carnivorous orcs, these jackals, tigers and leopards were significantly taller than the Terrans in front, and their task was to ensure that after the attack was launched, all the Terrans rushed directly to the pass of Iowa, and no one would passively avoid the battle.
These orcs come from the marginal tribes on the plateau, and there may not be a dependant for decades, for them, this time to become the Terran Warlord, is the only chance to get rid of the marginal status.
Behind these orcs, there are five different forms of dependents, a gray wolf, a leopard, a bear, a rhinodon, and a rhinoceros, all of whom are from the royal court, and they and all the teams in front of them are the vanguard of the attack on Iowa.
At the back of the vanguard was the Chinese army, consisting of more carnivores, herbivores, lizard mercenaries, siege engines, and dependents.
The valley of more than ten kilometers long is not a very long distance for demon lovers of any race, and soon the vanguard distanced itself from the Chinese army, and it was not until it was less than a kilometer under the city wall that it gradually stopped.
The Iowa Pass, which is tens of meters high, is like a dam, and under the influence of magic, the walls are covered with a thick layer of ice, making it difficult for even the most capable apes to climb it.
At this moment, the high wall of the pass and the surrounding mountain walls are steaming up white smoke, reaching the clouds, looking like a cloud wall from the outside.
In the eyes of the Terran soldiers such as Pinkoto, this high wall was their own tombstone, on which the names of thousands of people were already written.
On the wall of the pass, Rand stood alone on the platform covered with yellow sand, although his vision could not penetrate the clouds, his magic field had expanded to the east and west sides of the city wall.
He had asked Rousseff, Jeanne Galloping Horse, the legendary dragon Doleka Helyalena, how many Terrans there were in the whole of Hinduk. Different people have given different answers, and the most conservative guess is Jenny Galloper, who believes that the entire basin has about 50,000 Terrans, including about 10,000 demon supporters, based on the share of the annual subsidy.
Rousseff believes that the total number of people is less than 100,000, and the total number of demon supporters is less than 20,000. However, Zoleka believes that the total population is 200,000, and there are as few as 40,000 demon supporters, and not only the human race, but also tens of thousands of barbarians in the Hindukr.
Such abundant human resources were not only deliberately ignored by the orcs, but now some of them were also pressed to death, making Rand feel that his heart was dripping blood.
"It's a sin that they plan to consume so many people at once." Rand shook his head, for this world, even a few hundred demon supporters are definitely very valuable treasures.
Gulea, who spread her magical wings and fell from the thick fog in the air, walked to Rand's side, "Your Excellency Ernst and Halkala are ready, and Wendy and her sisters are ready to go. ”
"Okay," Rand nodded, "then we'll be in trouble." ”
The dragon girl shook her head and said, "We can all talk, but are you sure that you will face the first wave of attacks yourself?" ”
Rand smiled and said, "Of course, I am the lord here, I have no way to retreat, you should pay attention to safety." ”
Ben Kaul is standing above the small town of Iowa behind Rand, and now in the town, there are at least the legendary elf Saranil and his sister Natasha Oak, the two legends are here, to ensure that the Queen of the World Tree has just become the daughter of a demigod, and will not become a magic booster for the god of Warcraft in the first battle.
As the two spatial rifts around him opened, two legendary knights, Cromwell Gyeonggi and McLaren Blue Dragon, appeared on the left and right of Ben Kaul, and they kept looking west, revealing a lively attitude.
"The movement of the orcs this time is not small, I'm afraid it's about the same as the one 300 years ago." McLaren Blue Dragon was the first to say, "Under such an offensive, can Rand really hold this low wall?" ”
"I'm afraid it's difficult...... Back then, the walls of Yeqi City were not higher than this, and the legends in the city were not as powerful as him......" Cromwell Gyeonggi shook his head invisibly, "Ben, if you don't want to report the situation here to Your Majesty, if it really doesn't work, talk to the royal court." ”
