，

Dai'er nodded, and then, raised her head and pointed to the pastor beside her, "Don't look for it yet." Carry your bishop down on a stretcher, without a look

Several priests ran away in a panic, found a stretcher and carried Shilmelia and ran out of the city.

Seeing their frizzy appearance, Adele was angry, and grabbed the priest and scolded angrily: "Where to carry it, send it to Catherine, can you take care of her?" Go and get the carriage over. And this requires me to say, what are you doing to eat?

The priest watched as Adele gritted her silver teeth in a fit of rage. A picture that is about to tear people apart. Like students who made mistakes, they obediently listened to Adele's orders.

In the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the giant beast was clearly heard from outside the city, and the half-orcs with sophisticated siege equipment pounced on the walls of Nedel.

Crossbow arrows and boulders shot from the backs of the orcs flew over Nedel's walls and into the city.

The number of trebuchets operated by the pirates was not very large. The stone projectiles thrown by the trebuchet, about a foot in diameter, first smashed into the street behind the city walls, smashing a hole in the road surface, and then rolling and hitting the walls of the houses, which could smash through the entire wall in a light way.

Every time there are crossbow arrows or friendly pieces flying, the defenders in the city are all short necks, although the big guys know that these things basically have no hit rate, but the head is not as hard as a stone, whether it is a huge crossbow arrow or a stone, they are all rubbing death and death, watching that thing fly in their direction. No matter how bold you are, you have to retreat three points.

Ignatz observed the entire battlefield from the city walls. Although the half-orcs came prepared, the ladder and the wooden shield were well prepared, but their numbers did not occupy an absolute advantage after all, and there were more than 6,000 militiamen on duty on the city wall.

With plenty of supplies in the city and a large army from afar that will rush back to support, Ignatz really can't figure out why these orcs think they can take Nedel City, isn't this looking for death?

Ignatz had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he quickly shook his head and suppressed these thoughts, and the orcs were about to rush up, and his duty now was to guard the walls.

Ignatz turned and shouted into the city, "Those trebuchets are so annoying. Knock them out. ”

The officer in the city shouted, "Yes, my lord." ”

The officer turned and ran back to his post, looking at the counterweight stone thrower, which was four stories high. showed a simple, honest smile.

The counterweight stone thrower is all built with thick timber that no one person can hold, the key parts are all reinforced with stainless steel plates, and the eye-catching Flying Eagle company badge on the carrying pole shows that this is another war machine made by Lorraine.

There are all the counterweight stones needed by the stone thrower, and behind the stone thrower, there are stone bullets with large stones, and it takes two people to carry the grenade belt.

The chassis is built with a wooden ring track that allows the stone thrower to turn on the spot.

The distance outside the city had already been measured and calibrated by live ammunition, and the officers had a table of the relationship between counterweight and range in their hands.

The observers in the city passed down the distance of the enemy's target, and the officers first chose which stone bullet to use. Then the counterweight was loaded according to the table, and the soldier pulled the winch, which lifted the counterweight into the air, and the stone bullet was loaded into the grenade belt.

After the preparation was completed, the officer yelled, "Release." The soldier freed the winch from the hook attached to the pole, and the sixty-four-foot-long pole was cocked with a "whirl", as if it were throwing the boulder into the air slowly.

Under the watchful eyes of all the soldiers, the boulder flew over the walls and swept over the heads of the people who were about to fight. With a muffled thud, it smashed into the rear of the orcs. The trebuchet's accuracy is not very high. Only one of the six boulders hit the trebuchet operated by the pirates, but despite this, it was enough.

The boulder slammed like a hammer on the milk, and the trebuchet and the pirates around it disappeared in an instant, leaving only a deep trench and debris everywhere.

Ignatz looked at the land ravaged by the boulders behind the orcs, and was stunned for a while. Open your mouth. In the end, I just said "Wow!"

The trebuchet reangles and prepares to attack again, but the pirates opposite Nedel drag their ballistas backwards, leaving a few trebuchets alone to be destroyed.

Half an hour later, with a long trumpet, the orcs left a trail of corpses under Nedel's walls, and retreated like a tidal wave.

The Nedel defenders chased the orc's ass and fired a few more arrows, then brandished their weapons and cheered.

Among the cheering soldiers, Ignatz pressed his sword in his hand and looked at the orcs who had retreated to the camp with a straight face.

The officer next to him looked at Ignatz with a solemn expression. "My lord, is there any problem?"

Ignatz said: "Don't you see, the enemy is only tentatively attacking, and the slightest contact with us will be retreated."

"Yes, my lord, but in this case, even if they press with all their might, they will not be able to break through our defenses. ”

Ignatz shook his head and said, "So I'm worried, we can see the problem clearly." The orcs must also be able to see clearly, since they dare to attack us so swaggeringly, they must have some support, and we must beware of what other means they have that we can't think of. You go. Convey my thoughts to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and go quickly. ”

The officer raised his hand in salute, jumped off the city wall in three or two steps, took a war horse and galloped towards the governor's palace.

At the same time, on the armor side of the orc camp that Ige Chuanci was staring at, Deibol looked nervously at the spirit mage lying on the ground.

This tent was sealed tightly. There were several oil lamps lit inside, and there was a strange smell wafting from the tent.

A dark mage was lifting the necromancer's head and pouring potions into his mouth.

Necromancer Qi Xuan frowned, his shriveled skin was sallow, and his body was trembling. The fingers like the claws of a bird trembled and trembled.

Seeing the Dark Mage stand up, Deibol grabbed him and asked, "How is the teacher?"

The black mage shook his head in frustration and said, "The teacher passed out, I tried everything. I just can't wake him up, and I don't know what to do. ”

Deibolle's eyes became hollow. With a sigh, he said, "God's gaze, a Nedel actually has such a powerful cardinal. ”

The Dark Mage remembered the blinding light just now. I felt a tremor in my heart.

Death is just a new beginning for the dark mages, and the dark mages who are reborn from death will only become stronger.

But that light represents complete ruin, and for all mages who use dark spells, it represents complete ruin. From ** to the soul will be burned to fly ashes.

The tent's curtain was suddenly jumped open, and the sun shone in, and the piercing Deibole's eyes ached. Then a broad figure blocked the door of the tent.

Deibol put his hands on his eyes to block out the sun. Annoyed, he said, "Quickly put down the curtain." ”

Vichin and Torek were stunned for a moment. Then he said "oh", lowered the curtain and walked into the tent.

"How's the Master?" asked Vichin and Torek, looking at the necromancer on the ground.

Deibol waved his hand irritably and said, "Don't you know how to look at it yourself, the teacher has passed out." ”

Vichin and Torek raised their eyebrows, clenched their fists but quickly released them, stepped forward and patted Deibole's weak shoulder, and said, "Isn't the master still alive, I think it will be fine." ”

Deibol sighed and said, "I hope so." ”

After a moment of silence, Vichin and Torek said in a deep voice: "Today I tested the strength of the human race, if we attack with all our might. It must be able to hold them all down, when are the people in the city going to act?"

Deibol frowned and thought for a moment. Said: "The enemy still has so many mages who don't solve them, I'm afraid that something will happen when the time comes." ”

Vichin and Torek shook their heads and said, "But we can't wait, the longer time is wasted, the more dangerous our situation will be." ”

De Ippole shook his hand impatiently and said, "I know, give them a signal, let them decide when to act, from now on, attack Nidel City twice a day, give them a chance, when they act, they will let us know." ”

Vichin and Torek were overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Okay, just do it, I will make the warriors ready, success or failure is once again in one fell swoop, Deibole, we have been preparing for so many years, I will not let you down, and you will not let me down." ”

Deipol looked up at Vichin and Torek, smiled gently, and said, "Don't worry, we have come so far, there is no way back, we can only win, not defeat." ”

Lorraine gasped and walked in front of the line with heavy legs, and now Lorraine had no image at all.

The clothes had turned an earthy yellow, and the dust had fallen from the bottom of the road as he walked, and the military boots made of fine cowhide had become crooked. It's full of folds.

It was as if the head had been sprinkled with a layer of dirt. Kneaded with sweat, it becomes a grain of soil, sticking to the inside of the head, and you can't shoot it off.

The face is also black, and after the sweat on the face is stained with dust, it is a layer of black mud, and when he speaks, he shows a mouthful of white teeth, which looks very abrupt and funny.

With a layer of stubble on her face, Lorraine suddenly looked a dozen years older, like an uncle in his thirties.

Especially with the beautiful and pure Vera by her side. Makes Lorraine look even more lewd.

The whole team was the same as Lorraine, and each warrior looked like a wolf, and his face was full of haggardness. However, the march was still very fast, and it had gone more than 200 miles so far.

Strict military discipline and training, as well as the mutual support of comrades-in-arms, made the soldiers of the Eastern Legion not only create a miracle of rapid marching, but also leave no one behind.

All the officers and soldiers walked with their heads down, except for the sound of neat footsteps, there was no sound of the soldiers talking, and they were all confused with their eyes open. Following the back of the person in front of him, he even appeared a god-man who could walk and fall asleep.

Orcs have a higher stamina than humans. After two days of marching, the distance from the human legion was getting farther and farther, originally thirty miles apart, but now the distance between the two sides was fifty miles.

The soldiers could also have some peace of mind, as they piled heavy pieces such as armored kettles on mule horses. Just carrying their own weapons on their backs.

The two legion commanders who followed Lorraine were also miserable, one turned into a monkey and the other became an orangutan, and when the three of them got together, they all looked at each other and laughed.

The only exception is Loula, who ran down after a two-day journey, except that her face lost a little luster because of the dry weather, Vera didn't look the same as when she came out, even her clothes were spotless, and she was in good spirits. jumped and pulled Lorraine away.

After bullying all the cooking utensils yesterday morning, Lorraine had an order to throw away the few non-training claws in the afternoon, and last night all the officers and men slept on the side of the road wrapped in blankets, and the only small tent left was for Vera, and Vera's sleep quality was surprisingly high, although it was only five hours, she did not look a little sleepy.

A group of horsemen rushed towards the procession with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, and the captain jumped off his horse, ran to Lorraine, and saluted, saying, "Your Excellency." Only fifty miles away from the destination, the position had been fully surveyed, and the forward had set up four temporary bridges. ”

Lorraine was overjoyed and smiled: "It's done so quickly, I thought I would get it tonight." ”

The cavalry captain said, "Yes, my lord, the brothers have a house not far from there, and although the river has a lot of water, we still found a few places where the water flow is gentle, and rushed to build the bridge. ”

Lorraine said hello loudly and said, "This battle is over, and your strikers should be counted." ”

The cavalry captain straightened up and said loudly, "Yes." My lord, for the Empire. ”

Lorraine turned to the team and shouted, "The last fifty miles, you can sleep tonight." Good sleep. The brethren stepped up. ”

The officers passed down Lorraine's words layer by layer, and the soldiers were all overjoyed when they heard it, fifty miles, and they walked hard for half a day, and when they arrived, they could sleep well, even if they were tired soldiers, for the temptation of a sleep, at this time they also cheered up and quickened their pace.

General Ferdolis and General Clauchu rushed up from the back of the line, and both generals looked relieved at the moment.

General Ferdoris said first: "There are only fifty miles left. The half-orcs are also fifty miles away from us, and it seems that the greatest danger has been eliminated.

General Clauchu rubbed his chin and rolled up the black ash. Falling down, General Clauchu pursed his lips, patted his face, and said with a smile: "Why don't we stop and wait for them for a while, I'm afraid they won't want to chase them if they're too far away, and the orcs have good stamina?" ”

Lorraine nodded sympathetically, marching is a science, they all run all over the mountains like orcs, even if their personal endurance is good, they can't go far for a day.

In a neat march like the one now, the individuals in the ranks were able to swing beyond the limit, and there are examples in history of running with two feet over the wheels of a car.

Lorraine said: "Okay, we have to give the orcs a little motivation, or they might not chase after them, and sprinkle some bait."

"Bait?" said the two generals.

Lorraine said: "Pick up twenty pairs of armor, if the quality is a little damaged, throw them in a conspicuous place on the side of the road, leave them for those orcs, and leave a hundred and ten spears, throw them casually along the way, and then throw them if they are broken."

There are also dry food or something we carry, and there are extra sprinkles along the way. The general's eyes lit up, knowing that here Lorraine was going to deliberately show weakness to the orcs behind him, first Lorraine and they couldn't walk, and the soldiers began to discard their equipment.

General Clauchu slapped his thigh and said, "Good idea, not only that, but it can also make the soldiers drop a little bit of things that they don't need." I'm not afraid that those orcs won't take the bait. ”

After the order was given, the officers began to pick up some surplus supplies and throw them on both sides, humans would not be stupid enough to leave something useful for the orcs, whether it was armor or spears, they were broken and then left on the ground.

After the soldiers understood the intent of this order. also joined in the fun, laughing and throwing the worn stinky boots, rotten socks and other tattered things on both sides.

Half a day later, these things appeared in front of the half-orc patriarchs, looking at the armor that had been smashed into several pieces, as well as the spears that had been broken hard, a half-orc patriarch knocked on the metal armor, and said, "It's a pity that such a good thing." ”

The other patriarch looked at the orc warrior with a pair of broken boots around his neck, ran past him triumphantly, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, it means that they are almost unable to walk. ”

The patriarchs nodded their heads in agreement, and said: "Long-distance running like this, let alone human beings, even we half-orcs can't stand it, it is estimated that they will stick to today for another day, and they will not be able to run tomorrow."

"What about the movement? I don't believe they don't stop to rest. ”

"It's been in the last day or two. Command your subordinates, speed up, as long as you catch up with the human army, all the wine and meat women in the human city are ours, and this is a lifetime of inexhaustible eating and drinking. ”

The orc chiefs applauded, turned back to their ranks, and kicked the orc warriors to speed up.

It wasn't until the sun went down and the sky became dark that Lorraine and two legions of soldiers finally arrived at a valley.

The valley resembled a round plate, with no end in sight on either side, about ten miles wide, and gently downward on both sides, and in the middle was a river about fifty feet wide, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the water was sparkling.

Lorraine looked at the terrain with satisfaction, it was obvious that the valley was formed by the impact of ice, especially the river in the middle, which happened to divide the valley into two halves, and the location was excellent.

Two simple wooden bridges were built over the river with logs, and more than 10,000 soldiers of the two legions were quickly crossing the river along the bridges and assembling on the north side of the valley.

"This is where the orcs are buried"
