Chapter 171: The Orc's Purpose

"How did these humans know about our arrival?"

"I don't know, after the spies we caught were interrogated, they themselves didn't know, it seems that the city lord of Vast City suddenly got the news, as for where the news came from, I'm afraid only the city lord of Vast City knows. ”

"Well, looking at the posture of this vast city, I do know that we are coming. ”

On the tall city walls, there are a large number of defenders, this garrison feels very strange to Rao, not only imperial soldiers, catchers, but even experienced soldiers, recruits, and volunteer militia.

However, they did not dare to look at these people, because there were still a large number of heavy crossbows on the head of the city, and if they dared to go up, they were afraid that these guys would shoot them into strings of sugar gourds.

And the orcs themselves are far inferior to humans in terms of equipment, seeing such a luxurious formation, the faces of the beast leaders twitched, originally, the orcs still wanted to take the opportunity to take the vast city, but now it's better to think about it.

"What should we do now, King?"

"What can we do? Anyway, our task is to stay here, and when the third prince takes Tongcheng, this vast city is nothing. ”

"Haha, that's it, it's really ridiculous, the vast city has made so many preparations, and Tongcheng has no movement at all"

"Yes, if Tongcheng has made such adequate preparations, which do you think the third prince will fight?"

"Don't think too much about it, as long as the third prince succeeds, don't want this vast city. ”

The orc leaders were a little dumbfounded, really, no one wanted to touch this hedgehog.

Their invasion this time is only for food and population, orcs live in the desert in the north, where the vegetation is quite small, there is yellow sand raging all year round, it is more difficult to grow food, only can grow some wild fruits, raise some wild beasts, but they are not good at stupidity, so they also started the idea of humans.

In addition to wild fruits and beasts, their other staple food is the monsters they capture.

However, the perennial bad atmosphere, coupled with the increase in population, and the decrease in food, the life of the other orcs is becoming more and more difficult, and even the survival of the demon beasts has become difficult, and they have to flee there one by one.

Seeing this, the beast Rao proposed to invade the human empire, and it was better to occupy their territory, which had fertile farmland, a rich sea, and a large number of demon beasts.

Eventually, all the orc tribes united to form a vast beast kingdom, the Barton Empire.

This empire has just been founded, and it is respected for its strength, with the strongest being the emperor and the second being the princes.

And this time, it was the third son of the Beast Emperor, the third prince of Helton, who led the army.

Helton led an army of 500,000 orcs, left the Patton Empire, entered the territory of the Xuan Empire, and began to plunder the resources here.

Fortunately, because of adequate preparation, they were not discovered by humans along the way, and as for the humans they met on the way, they were basically captured by them and escorted to the rear army to be closely guarded.

If anyone escapes, they will be killed directly by the net they have laid.

Recently, however, something happened that made them feel very depressed.

That is, the humans actually knew that they were going to attack, and they were actively preparing for Zheng

This frightened the three princes of Helton, he didn't want them to complete their preparations and attack again, which would lead to an increase in the time of the attack, and at that time, it would not be easy to defeat them.

After all, they raided the Xuan Empire, just a time difference, and they had to end the battle as soon as possible before the Xuan Empire reacted.

Fighting a protracted war is not what they want, they don't have that much food to support, and this time, the main purpose is to save the future for food and beasts.

At the same time, it is also to test the attitude of the Xuan Empire and prepare for the next time.

Fortunately, although the humans got the news, one of the two cities they targeted didn't take them seriously, until they came to the city, and they didn't take any precautions

At this time, Helton led an army of 450,000 to the city of Tongcheng.

There weren't many defenders of Tongcheng, or because they weren't guarded, they didn't leave too many troops on the walls, so when faced with an army of more than 400,000 orcs, the defenders themselves were stupid.

Although the alarm was sounded, the beasts moved more quickly, they rode the wolf, quickly approached the city wall, and then used the flying rope to lasso the city wall, killing the city wall.

As for the city gate, the soldiers, who were usually lazy and habitual, did not close the city gate for the first time, but woke up when they saw the orcs approaching.

However, it was already too late, and the wolf knight in the distance shot a soldier who was defending the city with accurate fire.

At the city gate, because people are in and out, it is difficult to close it.

"Your Highness, this caused the defense of the human race to be very poor, and our men not only took the city wall, but also the city gate. ”

One of the tiger-headed beasts beside Heldon had big eyes like brass bells, and he felt very incredible.

In his impression, human beings are all conspirators, very cunning, and if they can't do it, they will let themselves capsize in the gutter.

But in the end, it seems that they think too highly of these humans.

Soon, the orc army captured the unprepared Tongcheng and slaughtered into the streets, and a wild roar of beasts spread far and wide throughout the city.

"Hahaha, it's great to get in. ”

"Charge me. ”

"Kill!"

The orcs were excited, and they were very arrogant when they killed them, and they forgot their mission for a while.

"Stop, remember, our purpose is food and people, and it is strictly forbidden to kill human beings indiscriminately. Heldon slashed a mace against a beast, and if he slowed down, he was afraid that the human girl in front of the orc would die under his attack.

After denouncing the brutality of the orc soldiers, he patrolled the army and had his will communicated.

Soon after, those orcs in Tongcheng, except for resisting them, did not kill innocents indiscriminately.

This made Helton breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, the empire they had formed improvised was not strong, and they didn't want to arouse the hatred of the Xuan Empire. At that time, the strength of the Xuan Empire alone will be enough to make the newly established Barton Empire suffer a lot.

In addition, if what they have done is spread out, I am afraid that it will arouse the vigilance and hostility of the human beings of other empires, so what is it?

Although the orcs have recuperated and their population has exploded, it is only a few million, and the human race, as far as he knows, is at least two or three hundred billion humans.

That's a terrifying number.

So, the orcs still have to be sane.

"Looted all the food, as well as clothing, farm tools, everything useful. ”

"Separate actions, surrender humans do not kill, those who resist do. ”

For ease and speed of movement, they also shouted.

"Surrender and don't kill, those who resist kill!"

"Throw down your weapons, surrender or kill!"

The beast wolf cavalry slaughtered into the streets of the city, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping on the streets, although most of the people wanted to resist, but there were too many orcs, there were hundreds of thousands, and the rebels were quickly killed, plus they did not kill innocents indiscriminately, nor pursued those who escaped, and surrendered without killing, so the resistance was very low, and even some people took advantage of the chaos to start robbing.

The whole city was in chaos, most of the merchants were emptied by the orcs, and a large number of slaves and civilians were taken captive. They preferred these slaves and simple commoners to those who were high up in the nobility.

And at a certain height in Tongcheng, Chu Yang was looking at the battle taking place in the entire city, as well as the behavior of the orcs, and couldn't help but secretly praise: "This beast leader really has some ability, and he is not stupid at all." ”

If the orcs go on a killing spree, it will definitely cause a bloody storm and cause fierce resistance from the humans, so that it is impossible for the orcs to complete their task at a very low cost.

Now, the orcs in the city have sorted and put the looted goods in various places, piling them up into mountains, but the gold, silver and jewels are of little interest.

However, Heldon, considering the value of these things in humans, made people search for them.

"Don't, my money. ”

"Ah, even if you found my things, why do you want to rob me of my money?"

"Help, robbery. ”

After being robbed of wealth, there are many people who want to take it back, but in the face of orcs, where do they still have this strength.

Then, with the help of slaves and civilians, the looted things were loaded into wagons, as well as the orcs' own ox convoys, which were full of supplies, also under the protection of the orc army, began to withdraw from the city.

The beast's behavior also made everyone look surprised, although some people imagined that there would be a river of blood, but in fact, there were no cherry blossoms

At this time, in the city lord's mansion of Tongcheng, the city lord broke out in a cold sweat when he learned that there was really an orc attack.

At the same time, he regretted it, but regret was useless.

However, to his surprise, his City Lord's Mansion was not attacked in any way, but he didn't know that the consequences of doing so would be more serious.

Why are other places attacked, there is nothing to do in the City Lord's Mansion, and besides, listening to the two warnings of the city lord of the vast city, the city lord of the city through the city does not take it seriously at all.

Now it's okay, the orcs are attacking, you city lord is hiding in the city lord's mansion, you can't hold out, and you don't care about the life or death of the people outside, if it weren't for the unexpected 'friendliness' of these orcs, I'm afraid that the entire city will be bleeding.

So, at this time, all the people who came were very angry.
