Newcastle.
Inside and outside the temple of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect, the black pressure was full of people, standing on the temple hall and looking down, the crowd was crowded.
Evacuation orders have been issued, and all personnel are to be evacuated immediately to the nearest city, Rova.
This order caused an uproar among all the people in the new city!
Although Baron Pierre and other high-ranking members of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect tried their best to appease, they ......
It's a new city after all!
It is the base camp of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect! It is here to work hard, to struggle, to work hard, and to build a ...... It was not easy to build this foundation.
The neat streets, the big bright houses, the cornfields by the river outside the city, and the chimneys of the towering rows of small brick kilns......
A new, vibrant city has been born from its own hands!
How many people have made their homes here and converted to a new faith...... Every day, at dusk, and at dusk, a priesthood is performed outside the temple, and the heart is clear and peaceful......
At this time, but let us all evacuate?
Let go of the houses that you have built brick by brick, give up this home, give up the temple that you worship every day???
Who willing!!
And although Montoya has already mobilized the military team, it ...... How could the military group make any moves to suppress these relatives?
It's still the same question, as the supreme leader of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect, the high priest Darling Chen, who has absolute prestige, is not here, so ...... Others, neither Laudel nor Baron Pierre, possessed absolute prestige among the populace.
And at the most critical time. But one person suddenly came out, unexpectedly, with an amazing effect.
This man is ...... Anice.
Anice, who has been established as the Peerless Martial Saint Sect, has officially resided in the temple, and every day in the morning and dusk prayers, all the believers can see the figure of this excessively young saint.
Her almost pure and immaculate eyes, as well as her beautiful voice when singing hymns, make it impossible for all believers who have seen her to feel close and loving in their hearts.
Not to mention, this holy woman. He was a disciple of the High Priest Darling Chen.
Facing the believers who were gradually becoming a little impetuous, Anicee bit his lip and took the initiative to walk to the main hall platform.
Then, a melodious hymn came out of her mouth.
The slightly immature voice, but as pure as a flawless white, fell on people's ears, but it seemed to wash away all the anger and impetuousness in the heart.
Gradually, the crowd quieted down. Everyone looked up to Anice.
Then, some people began to follow her tune and sing praises in low voices.
Slowly, the first. The second, the third......
Someone in the crowd began to kneel and recite prayers......
It was as if it had been turned into a grand memorial ceremony, solemn and holy.
Not far beyond the temple. On the street, Du squinted slightly, watching the qiΔ that happened in the temple.
"That little girl...... Is it the saint of the church?"
Standing beside Du Weiwei. It was Fiona.
Fiona nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes...... Her name is Anice, and she is not only a saint, but also a personal disciple of Darling Chenshu. Even more important than the students in the Academy of Magic. β
"Prairie people?" Du Weiwei could see the characteristics at a glance from the color of Anice's hair and the contours of his face.
"Yes, I heard that it was an orphan. Both parents died in the chaos of the Prairie King's conscription. β
"That guy can pick up gold everywhere he goes. Good luck. Du sighed slightly: "This little girl is very talented. β
......
An incident that could well have turned into a mutiny subsided.
To everyone's surprise, Anicee was loved by almost all the believers.
This kind of love seems to be mixed with a variety of feelings, closeness, pampering, respect, and a bit of expectation as if looking at one's own children.
Anice, as if in the hearts of all believers, has a special place.
The order to evacuate was thus promoted.
As in the Northwest Fortress, Du Weiwei's order was to travel lightly, and not to carry any belongings and belongings as much as possible.
She even asked Laudel to come forward and publicly promised all the people that all the loss of property would be compensated afterwards.
This indemnification statement...... It was issued in the name of the High Priest Darling Chen, and the person who stood for this announcement was Darling Chen's personal disciple Anice.
Although everyone still had doubts in their hearts, they still complied.
If you don't carry any belongings and just travel light, then things are much simpler.
Du Weiwei sent someone to the granary and prepared something to start the fire.
And the whole population of believers began a mass migration...... Or rather, the march.
Target, Roa City.
"Are we really all going to get out of here?"
Before parting with the new city, tears welled up in Barossa's eyes.
For her, having lived here for so long, she has almost watched this place be built brick by brick.
"It's a pity that the walls here weren't made, otherwise...... In fact, we can choose to resist the city here and sit on the city wall to watch a good show. β
It is true that the new city does not have a perfect urban defense system. Because the time to build is still too short. Only a few main blocks in the city were completed.
......
The city of Rova received nearly 20,000 people at once, and the already small city was almost full.
In order to settle the people, Laudel and Barossa took charge and gave up the mansions of the consuls of the city to the people.
And just when everyone settled down, it was only the next day and it was not over......
On the horizon, the shadow of Wuyang and Wuyang like a black cloud swept in!
Thousands of steppe cavalry flocked all over the sky. Flags, dust. The cold light from the scimitar......
The defenders in the city have been replaced by the elite of the Tulip family, and Du Weiwei specially invited Darling Chen's team to come to the city to watch.
The steppe cavalry did not seem to intend to lay siege to the city of Rova - they seemed to have only made some tentative attempts.
The two cavalry rushed to a halt not too far from the wall. Then, he ran around the city twice.
"They won't take the city. Du Weiwei's words were very confident.
"Why?" said Rodelle frowned.
"It's very simple, you look around the city of Rova......"
Almost all the surrounding areas of Rova City are bare, and there are no green trees in sight, even on the dirt hills. Only a small patch of felled stumps remained.
Because of the extremely popular loess bricks under the name of Darling Chen, the business has long been expanded to the vicinity of Rova City, after all, there is also loess here.
The brick-burning business is getting more and more prosperous. As a direct consequence, the original woods around the city were almost completely cut down, because burning bricks required a lot of fuel.
The steppe cavalry came from afar, and they did not and could not carry much heavy siege equipment.
If you want to build a temporary ...... But the surrounding woods were cut down, and not even a decent piece of wood could be found.
I can't build any siege crashes and the like, so naturally I can only look at the city walls and sigh.
"Look, there are many benefits to the brick-burning business. β
Du smiled slightly.
"Panin's defensive line...... Has it already been breached?"
It was Montoya who spoke.
Montoya's military team was incorporated into the reserves, which made the fierce general feel a little dissatisfied.
"It's not a breakthrough...... It should have been deliberately let go. β
Du Weiwei suddenly smiled brightly: "Everyone, please remember today." Because. From today onwards, you will witness a great historical event......! Very early on, when I was a child, I heard my father talk about the power of the steppe scimitar cavalry. and the bravery of the orc berserker, I was curious...... What kind of scene would it be if the steppe people's iron riders and scimitars encountered the bloodthirstiness and bravery of the orcs?"
β............β
The people around you. He looked at the woman with a fearful gaze.
......
............
The steppe people didn't stay around Rova for long.
They soon seemed to have a new target, and the steppe cavalry of the brigade was like a beast in heat. He turned around and galloped towards the north.
"Looks like they must have found a 'guide'. β
Du Weiwei stood on the city wall and laughed.
"Wizard?"
"Of course, they will come all the way, and they will definitely capture some Roland who didn't have time to escape in the wilderness. People, in the whole province of Nulin, who doesn't know, the richest person is your Baron Darlingchen, and besides, he prefers to die, and the new city he built has not even built the city walls!
You say, what could be better in heaven and earth than a wealthy city without walls to attract these steppe robbers, who were known for their cavalry?
It's time for them to head to the new city now. β
"You, you mean...... Prairie people...... and orcs ......"
"You see, what a fun thing it would be. β
......
............
Du Weiwei's prophecy came true without surprise!
One is the ethnic group that dominates the northwestern grasslands of the mainland.
One is an alien race that set off a frenzy more than a hundred years ago and almost wiped out humanity.
For the first time in this era, in this place, at this particular point in time, ...... Collided together!
No one knows what happened in the first battle when the steppe cavalry met the orc legions.
Because neither the steppe people nor the orcs will have the eyes of the historians of the Roland Empire. The steppe people have no habit of recording their own history, and the orcs ...... Again, the habits of war are not recorded.
It is only from some clues in later generations that a general answer can be obtained when the situation is re-inferred.
This first battle was extremely tragic!
......
When the first steppe cavalry stormed the city, the revelry of the steppe people almost broke the sky.
Such a brand-new city, so many images, buildings, all show the wealth here!
And their harvest is indeed worth the trip!
It can even be said that this is since the steppe people invaded the Roland Empire this time. One of the most exciting harvests!
Because the tulip family is not sticky, the strong walls of Paning are clear, and although the grassland people are raging in the northwest, they actually do not harvest much. If it weren't for the Tulip family deliberately releasing water, throwing out a few military strongholds for hoarding grain, and deliberately throwing them out and throwing them to the grassland people, I am afraid that the grassland people will not even be able to eat.
Robbers are born to plunder!!
And Darling Chen's single-handedly run New Town, there is no doubt that the wealth here is amazing!
There are also some ordnance in the warehouse. I won't mention it.
Not to mention that because the evacuation was too hasty, almost every household could find some belongings.
What made the steppes even more angry was when they opened a warehouse of the church's public property behind the temple......
The discovery inside made almost every steppe person present hold their breath, and then ...... Eyes are red!
Gold coins, more than 10 boxes full of gold coins! There are countless copper coins! Silk, all kinds of goods!!
Precious medicinal herbs!!Excellent pig iron!!There are barrels of oil, and there are boxes of all kinds of utensils......
These things. Originally, after the Northwest Fortress was blocked, Rodelle ate the hoarded goods in those caravans.
Food and clothing, from daily necessities to valuable treasures, everything is available.
These things. They were all meant to be sold to the orc kingdom in the north.
From the impoverished Cheng DΓΉ, the grassland people are almost half a pound and eight taels with the orc kingdom, so when they see these things, they will naturally be warm-eyed!
On the spot, some steppe people almost fought for the spoils.
And then. A leader of high rank, probably the patriarch of a certain tribe, came here.
He saw it for the first time. It's almost weak legs!
But then, he ordered that these warehouses be sealed.
Otherwise, he didn't dare to guarantee that his red-eyed subordinates would mutiny.
The steppe people were divided into countless teams and began to go door to door to collect their harvest. Bronze tools, iron tools, and even knives for chopping wood were collected by the steppe people.
Some people even carried back the quilts and sheets of some wealthy families.
The copper buckle inlaid on the door was also cut off with a knife and stuffed into his arms.
The first batch of grassland people who entered the new city were about five or six thousand, and they belonged to a certain relatively strong tribe.
And just after they occupied the new city, in the middle of the night, an accident happened.
Orcs to the North...... The pace of going south came to the new city.
As you can imagine, in the middle of the night, two gangs of robbers accidentally collided together and crashed into the same place.
For the orcs, the strong pride of having just "conquered" the Northwest Fortress makes them burst with confidence.
And for the steppe people...... The new city in his hand is full of wealth...... And this is the richest income they have made since they invaded the Roland Empire...... How can you let the meat out of your mouth?
It was night again, and the lights were blinding, and the orcs barely stopped, and immediately launched a surprise attack on the new city.
A nighttime scuffle!
There is a speculation that perhaps at the beginning of the fight, neither side knew who the enemy was.
However, the situation of the battle is easy to speculate on some clues later.
The steppe people are not good at street fighting in the city, they are more accustomed to galloping on standing horses.
And the orcs are much better at this than the steppe people.
What's more, the first wave of orcs who came to New City was not a small number. Later generations are said to have more than 5,000 orcs.
Five thousand against five thousand, plus night raids, and the characteristics of the steppe people who are not good at street fighting.
In the first encounter, the steppe overlord lost badly at the hands of the orcs!
There are calculated numbers, the first batch of grassland tribes to occupy the new city, more than 5,000 iron horsemen, almost lost!
Even the tribal leader died in the night scuffle.
...... His body could not be found afterwards, nor could the bodies of other steppe people who had died in battle.
Because, orcs have a habit that is very frightening and terrifying to humans:
These guys, you can eat human flesh!
Less than five hundred steppe people were defeated from the new city.
And the orcs have no tradition of keeping captives anywhere.
The corpses of the steppe people in the night battle were almost turned into orc marching food almost the next day!
And at dawn the next day, the steppe people's follow-up troops arrived, and the two sides began to formally examine the opponent in front of them.
Orcs don't care.
Whether it's a steppe man or a Roland person...... It's all human anyway!
Since it's a human being, it's just a matter of killing them all. It's not much of a difference.
In contrast, the shock of the steppe people was a little stronger.
They never thought they would encounter orcs here...... I never thought that I would one day fight the orcs.
Are the Rolands really so weak that they can't even hold their northern defenses?
Such scenes and encounters have far exceeded the expectations of all the prairie people.
However, no matter what the steppe people think...... A big war has inevitably begun!
Lose all the elite warriors of a powerful tribe...... This is a shame that cannot be ignored by the steppe people!
What's more, the fact that orcs eat human flesh deeply stimulates the steppe people!!
Even the steppe people themselves are savage, but they really don't eat people!
And...... When they see. Not only were their compatriots, their own warriors, killed in the night, but even their corpses had to be dismantled in pieces, thrown into the furnace, cooked and gnawed off......
Anyone who knew this fact of the steppe was immediately angry!!
These orcs deserve to die!!!
No one wants restraint, and no one feels that they should.
Anyway, we came from the grassland, and we came up to loot!
Right now. Our companions have been killed, and the riches that we have been so hard to grab have been robbed again?
What the fuck is there to think about? What the fuck is there to hesitate about?
It's a good man, rush up. Kill the hairymen!!
In the second battle, the orcs suffered a big loss.
Because the night attack was too smooth, the orcs bred the mentality of humans.
Seeing the hostility of the steppe people, these orcs actually chose to line up. Then he walked out of the city, set up a posture in the field, and had a dignified field battle with the steppe people.
That's ...... Tragedy.
The individual combat power of the orcs is indeed strong. There are even a few examples of orc infantry being able to stand up to cavalry on their own.
But...... In the open plains, its own strength is in the middle of the world, facing the steppe cavalry that outnumber its own...... The orcs died a terrible death.
The steppe people used a beautiful plain cavalry battle to teach the orcs a hard lesson.
Their skillful horsemanship, excellent archery, and super mobile and flexible combat ability made the orcs roar in anger and bleed their own blood.
The steppe people used a two-sided roundabout cavalry tactic, first using the cavalry on both sides to make a detour, harassing with mounted shooting, and when the orc ranks began to disorganize, a frontal cover-up ...... It's basically equivalent to cleaning up the battlefield.
The orcs left behind most of their corpses and ran back to the new city.
Immediately, the steppe people organized their troops, dismounted, formed a foot team, and marched into the new city on foot, trying to eat the orcs completely......
In the fierce street fighting, the orcs resisted stubbornly.
However, this war has officially become deeper and deeper.
That night, Stone Del, the favorite of the Orc King Bronze Tiger Credit, arrived in the new city with the rest of the fifteen thousand orc warriors.
They have completed the final destruction of the Northwest Fortress.
When they came here, this victorious army, which had just claimed to have "conquered the strongest city of mankind", actually watched their compatriots being surrounded and tortured in the new city by a strange human army.
Is that worth it?!
The steppe people were also dissatisfied with the reaction, and when the first moment the orc reinforcements arrived, the steppe people gave full play to their so-called "wolf" nature!
If he is replaced by the general commander of the Roland Empire, in this scenario, he will definitely choose to withdraw immediately, reorganize his army, and then try to fight again.
But the steppe people don't!!
When Stonedel rushed up with the orc warriors in a frenzy...... The steppe people immediately made a counter-charge without showing weakness!
Moreover, they have an advantage in troops!
This battle lasted for a long time.
Moreover, the result finally ended with the defeat of the orcs.
Stonedel, with less than 10,000 orc warriors, finally evacuated north.
And the steppe people...... Their confident steppe iron horseman, but finally kicked the steel plate!
In the cavalry battle of the plains, in the face of the phalanx of orcs who claimed to be able to resist the cavalry charge head-on, the steppe people did shed too much blood.
After the First World War, when the orcs chose to retreat, the leaders of two small tribes were killed in battle, and the entire elite of a medium tribe was disabled!
In total, the two sides left more than 20,000 corpses here in the new city.
This blood feud is completely settled.
