Chapter 23: Unexpected News

After nearly a month of sweeping the Terran borderlands, the orcs finally began to gather forces and prepare to storm the human city.

Since then, the war between humans and beasts has officially entered the second stage, the urban offensive and defensive war.

Greedy desires are always the hardest to control!

As long as a few Terran fortress cities in the border area are uprooted and the Wind and Snow Legion is disabled, thousands of square kilometers of Terran land and massive wealth behind will be completely opened to the orcs.

For this reason, the orcs did not hesitate to throw tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of corpses under the tall and strong walls of the human race.

Even after paying such a terrible price, eight times out of ten ended in a feather return, and countless orc warriors piled up under the city walls. But the two successful ones allowed the orcs to harvest a lot of human wealth and resources, and they made a lot of money.

At the end of the war, although the orcs were once again driven back to the orc wasteland by the Terran coalition forces, the wealth swept away by the orcs finally fell into the hands of the patriarchs and nobles of the three major orc tribes and the suzerain.

As for the hundreds of thousands of orc warriors lost, the patriarchs and nobles will not shed even a single tear, and with the strong fertility of the orcs, it will only be a few years before new warriors will set foot on the battlefield for them again.

Outside the former military city, the orc troops gathered more and more, and the black pressure was even in an endless area, and it was impossible to count how many orcs had gathered.

The orcs built three huge military camps directly in front of the former military city and in the north and south directions.

Unlike the way the Terran army besieged the city, the orcs will always open a passage in one direction.

It would be a mistake to think that the orcs were kind enough to leave a way for the Terrans to escape, because if the city was not besieged, the soldiers would not have the determination to defend the city, and the soldiers who were lucky and timid could venture out of this passage to escape.

But there are very few Terran soldiers who can really escape from this passage, and without the support of the city wall, how can the Terran soldiers escape the pursuit of the orc cavalry in the wilderness?

Therefore, in the war, many Terran warriors will die with the orcs in the city after the city is broken, and they do not choose to be chased and killed by the orcs on the way to escape.

The orcs did not immediately attack the city, and there was a steady stream of orc troops converging into the three military camps. Some of the orcs were sent to the nearby woods to cut down trees and make crude and simple siege equipment such as crashing logs, rushing cars, and ladders.

On the city wall, the Terran soldiers were also busy up and down. Huge crossbows and catapults were pushed up the city, bundles of crossbow arrows were carried from the storehouses to the city walls, hot oil and rolling logs were pushed under the battlements, and under the inner walls were huge stones piled up like hills.

A big war is on the verge of breaking out.

......

Orc Wasteland.

A group of Terran soldiers riding a silverhorn stag ran in a panic, looking behind them as they ran.

Behind this group of Terran soldiers were thirty or forty wolf cavalry, and the wolf cavalry waved the long knife in his hand, shouting loudly while chasing, constantly urging the wolves under him to speed up.

The group of Terran soldiers seemed to be chased in a panic, and turned onto a narrow mountain road, and the mountain road became steeper and steeper the way up, obviously a dead end.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, the wolf cavalry became even more excited, and couldn't help but stand up from the wolf's back with a machete. You must know that the bounties offered by the major tribes outside for this small group of Terran soldiers have reached a hundred gold coins per head.

The fleeing Terran soldiers suddenly stopped, turned the deer's head in unison, took out the bow and arrow behind their backs, and began to draw their bows and arrows.

The wolf cavalry running at the front seemed to sense that something was wrong, and they tried to stop, but the running cavalry suddenly stopped with great difficulty, and was carried forward by the cavalry behind.

The Terran cavalry in front began to quickly release arrows condescendingly, and several wolf cavalry who rushed to the front were shot down from the wolves one after another.

Bows and spears were shot out of the woods on both sides, and wolves were constantly knocked to the ground.

"It's not good, it's a trap, run!"

Dozens of wolf cavalry pushed together on the narrow mountain road, how could it be so easy to turn around and run down?

The fighters of the 7th Squadron had already rushed out of the woods on the left and right, and the fighters on the mountain road drove the silverhorn buck back and killed it.

Arthur rushed to the first one, and the person jumped directly from the back of the buck in the air, "thunder burst", and the fighting spirit technique was volleyed down.

The furious fighting spirit smashed into the wolf cavalry team, and the three-horse wolf cavalry dragged behind was overturned by a sword, and the fighting spirit of the wolf under him was blown apart.

The wolf cavalry was completely chaotic and fled down the mountain, but under the combined attack of the seventh squadron from three sides, only five of the dozens of wolf cavalry finally ran away.

The current Arthur and the Seventh Squadron have changed the way they fought the orc tribe by force and force on the tribe before, and no longer strive to loot the entire orc tribe, but use all kinds of means to sneak attack and set up ambushes.

The 7th Squadron, which has changed its combat methods, may have gained a little less than before, but it has more options for attack, and it has become more difficult to deal with, even if a medium-sized orc tribe has the opportunity to do it.

Arthur rolled over and stepped onto the silverhorn stag again, "Brothers, let's kill back, these wolf cavalry are all the warriors left behind by that tribe. ”

Without making any resting adjustments, the 7th Squadron returned to the werewolf tribe that had pursued them before.

When the imposing forty silver-horned stag cavalry approached the tribe, a dozen orc warriors rushed out of the closed gate, including the five wolf cavalry who had fled before.

As Arthur asserted, these orcs who rushed out were already the last warriors of the tribe.

The Seventh Squadron killed all these orc warriors in front of the tribe gate with a single charge.

Just when Arthur was holding his sword and preparing to lead people to break into the camp, an unexpected scene happened.

The closed gate of the village opened, and an old werewolf walked out with a white cloth, and after taking a few steps forward, he knelt down tremblingly, "All the warriors in the tribe have died in battle, and all that is left in the village are women and children, we are willing to surrender, please let them go." ”

For the orcs who honor honor, surrender and kneeling are the greatest humiliations. Arthur's men's reputation has now spread among the orc tribes, and there is not a single grass left behind, and the old werewolves would rather be humiliated themselves in order to save the tribe.

Looking at the trembling old werewolf in front of him, Arthur suddenly remembered the question Arya asked him, and the sword in his hand slowly put down.

"Man and beast have been enemies for generations, and your army is still on our land, why should I spare you?" Arthur's voice was cold.

"As long as you spare the women and children of the tribe, we are willing to sacrifice all the wealth of the tribe. ”

"That's not enough, I've killed you all, and the things in your tribe are still ours. ”

The old werewolf's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be struggling violently.

After a while, the old wolf said slowly, "I would like to tell you a piece of news. ”

Arthur was slightly curious, "What news can change the lives of so many people in your tribe?"

"I know of a place where there are many Terran slaves, is it okay to exchange their lives for the lives of our tribesmen?"

Arthur was stunned.
