CHAPTER XXIV

At this moment, a guard hurried over. Report to Your Excellency, Commander, that Your Majesty has won a great victory and is chasing the remnants of the orcs, and I believe that you will soon return triumphantly.

Captain: Yes? I've finally been waiting for good news. Okay, you two practice with each other. The two of them almost jumped up as if they were on the verge of amnesty.

I'm going to consult with the Prime Minister on how to welcome Your Majesty's triumph. But just as the whole country was waiting for King Charles II's triumph and preparing to celebrate, bad news came.

They waited not for the king, but for the orcs. King Charles II was defeated, and the city began to flood with refugees.

If you run slowly, there is only one dead end. Villages swept away by orc armies were razed to the ground. The village of Xiaoxiao and the dragon is closer to the royal city.

Other refugees had brought the news when they passed through the village, so most of the people in the village had already moved into the city.

Where Xiao Xiao and Long picked up Xiao Xiao's mother and sister at the church, they temporarily arranged for them to their own residence.

Xiaofu comforted his mother's heart and made him relax. Meria was playing with mushrooms with an excited face.

I had no idea what was going to happen. The country actually lost the battle, and even Long and Xiao were surprised.

It's incredible that a king can lose. The ministers of the city were in disarray. They were all hoping that the king and the remnants of his army would be able to enter the city when the orcs arrived.

The whole city was terrified. Our prince looked dazed and didn't know what was wrong. I asked the minister over and over again, "Has my father returned?"

Tedda, the head of the Larstoy Knights, led his soldiers to watch the city walls day and night, hoping to get the latest news brought back by the scouts.

At noon the next day, the sentinels defending the city noticed that a large number of troops were trying to move in this direction, and immediately sounded the alarm, and the knight of Teda Larstoy stood on the wall, praying that the army would be the king's army.

But it backfired, and it was the orc legion that appeared. Dust rolled up in the sky. A sense of foreboding lingered in Teda Larstoy's mind for a long time.

He shook his head vigorously to shake off the frightening thoughts, and shouted: Prepare for battle. The archers were given orders and climbed the walls.

They boiled the hot oil, and a large amount of defensive equipment began to move up the walls, and at the same time lit wolf smoke. Taking advantage of the fact that it was not completely surrounded, he sent fast horses to the neighboring countries to ask for help.

The orc army stopped two hundred meters away from the city. After who, a centaur carrying this man of the Black Elf clan appeared in front of the formation, he stared at the city wall with a vicious smile on his face, and shouted: I am one of the three major regimental commanders under the banner of the Ashael Demon War General, Rouenben.

Listen, people in the city, surrender the city now, and I can consider taking you in. But the royal family must all be put to death, if you refuse.

Hehe, after the city is broken, you will only be reduced to lambs to the slaughter. If you were to sacrifice the princess now for us to enjoy, I might consider leaving a whole corpse for the royal family!

A half-human (born of a hybrid of humans and orcs) riding a giant wolf and yin and yang came to the side of the black elf.

The soldiers defending the city all looked at the Knight Commander Dutada Larstoy, waiting for his orders. Captain Teda Larstoy: Say it loudly, there's so much nonsense, let the horses come, you black goblin.

Black Elf: So the negotiations broke down. Are you still under the illusion of waiting for your beloved king to come back and lead you?

Then I'll give you a gift, my dear leader. He clapped his hands, and a pig-faced man with a mouth full of fangs walked out with a steel spear carrying the head of a man wearing a palace.

Go give it to them, the black elf said, and the pig-faced man strode to the moat. He then thrust the steel spear into the ground, then turned and ran back.

The black elves shouted, "How is it, do you recognize your king?" Yes. It's really the king, ah really, the king is dead.

Impossible. It's not true. Captain of the Teda Lalstoy: Recognizable at a glance that it was their King Charles II, although he did nothing in his life, but Lalstoy still treated Teda with great respect.

Our regimental commander wanted to stabilize the army's heart, denying that it was the king, but his lips moved slightly and then closed.

Because a basket of heads with helmets was moved to the front of the battle, the army was distraught. The soldiers were demoralized and talked to each other.

Men have listened to me, the black elf shouted, whoever is the first to put the king's head in the gate of this country, I promise that I will reward him with the princess of this country when the city is broken.

That obscene sub-human (presumably a combination of sub-species, orcs, and humans) your princess is mine, none of you want to touch it, the little ones go into the city, kill all the men, women and treasures, you can grab them at will.

Who's on!, the orc army screamed and rushed up. Teda Larstoy shouted, soldiers, show your courage, we still have the prince's palace to be loyal to, and behind this wall there are your families to protect.

This herd of animals cannot be allowed to move forward. How much of a role this sentence can play in TEDA, Captain Larstoy doesn't know.

But he knew that once the city was broken, it would be all over. He had to do something. Bows and crossbows began to shoot.

But it didn't stop the orc army, and after throwing down hundreds of corpses, the moat was leveled.

Then crudely made ladders were erected on the city walls. The real offensive and defensive battle began. The battle was very fierce, they never knew that these orcs were so brave, they wanted to climb the city wall desperately.

Rouenben (Black Elf): Looking at the battlefield, this guy is quite well prepared, I thought that the rapid march along the way would catch them off guard, damn it, if there are too many casualties, it is not easy to explain to His Excellency the General.

Do you want me to do anything about that subhuman?Rouen Ben Black Elf: No, let the Rabihi get rid of the archers in the city.

(The Rabbisi orcs are the more archery-savvy of the group, who are short in stature.) with a donkey face), so that the lizardmen are ready to attack.

(Lizardmen are advanced subhumans, with very strong attack and defense). Dozens of subhumans and minotaurs who thought of Shrek and pig-faced people slammed a large tree against the city gate.

They were constantly killed and burned to death by stones or hot oil falling from the city. But soon new orcs were coming up.

Captain of the Knights of Teda Larstoy: Shoot a spear off an orc and throw it off the city, shoot back, and burn their ladder.

They can't be allowed to step on the walls. One by one, the orcs fell from the city walls, and the besieging side had to pay a huge price.

The flaming ladder fell, smashing on the orcs who were waiting to climb up below, causing a lot of commotion and cursing, and the sub-human finally couldn't help it, and screamed, I hate attacking this kind of king the most hate to attack this kind of king eight shells.

It's better to fight a decisive battle on the plains to have a good time. The black elf Rouenben smiled, be patient, man, this city is much shorter than Ah Xiu.

Patience is not your time yet, so keep recovering your mana. The subhuman yelled that I had had enough, and I was going to smash it now.

Rouenben: I suggest you wait and wait until the gates are crumbling. You cast too much magic in the previous battle, and now your mana hasn't fully recovered.

Subhuman: Hmph, don't underestimate me. I am also one of the three commanders appointed by Ashael (Demon War General).

The magic is not enough, and it is still possible to cast a few spells. Rouenben: That's up to you, but be careful not to run into tricky ones, this kingdom may be hiding other mages, and I can't help you without magic to do it.

The subhuman: I don't need you to help me. If her information is wrong, I know who to settle the score.

Get your lizardfolk ready to rush. This kingdom is ours today. He rode a demon wolf and quickly came to the city.

Hum. Watch me blow it up. O fire elves, obey my call and come from the other world to turn into a sword and crush your enemies.

Tiateaa. Dikara Bang. Off Osar. Burst of Flames. Several huge fireballs in a row slammed directly into the city gate.

After a few loud bangs, the copper-wrapped city gate was blown apart, and the dozens of orcs who hit the city gate also became victims of the magic, and broken limbs were everywhere.

The subhuman smiled with satisfaction. In terms of destructive power, this spell is still the most powerful. The magic consumes a lot.

Hehe. It's better to be careful. Let them attack as needed. A squad of heavily armored lizardmen rushed forward.

They easily smashed open the dilapidated gates, which were breached and then fought with the soldiers guarding the gates, who pounced bravely to fend off the lizardmen, who were twice as tall as humans.

Ordinary soldiers have only points for being slaughtered. Even without a shield. It is difficult for an ordinary soldier's sword to inflict serious damage on a lizardman covered in scales.

The head of the knights, Teda Larstoy, had to lead the front reinforcement of the knights around him. However, he was still weak, and soon after he left the wall, it was breached by the orcs.

He drew his sword from the lizardmen's corpse, which had been split in half along with his shield. Look at the soldiers fighting the orcs on the upper wall.

He knew it was only a matter of time before he knew the slopes. They lowered the second iron gate to stop them temporarily, and they could only hold on for a few minutes.

He then gave the order to shrink his forces and retreat to the inner city. None of the kings of the main army came back from the battle, and Omisda had no one to use at all, only a few dozen knights with him.

There was chaos in the city. Teda and the Captain of the Knights of Larstoy entered the inner city, and all the ministers stared at him, looking at their last straw in the hope that he would bring good news.

Knight Commander Teda Larstoy: Your Highness. The main gate has been breached, please Your Highness and the princess break through the siege as soon as the enemy has not yet entered the inner city.

The ministers panicked. That's not how good. Is this country finished? As for the king, His Majesty has not yet returned.

You, the knight leader, lost the city so quickly. You mediocrity. The prince reluctantly pretended to be calm and asked, "What about my father?"

He hasn't come back yet, and if we break through, we're going to join them there. TEDA LARSTOY: Your Highness.

His Majesty the King has died in battle. You are now the master of this country, my king, I will escort His Highness and the princess to break through, we don't have much time, please hurry up.

Prepare horses for them. Fast!
