"According to our information, the orcs don't have much baggage at all, they will soon run out of food, and once the food is insufficient, even if the number of orcs is doubled, it is useless!" Karina thought for a moment and said.

"I think..."

"My lord, there is an urgent military situation!" said one of the guards in a hurry.

Su Lun got up and walked out of the war preparation hall, "Something happened. ”

"My lord, a messenger claiming to be from the Blackstone Fortress has just said that he has come on the orders of Count Vane. The guard said respectfully.

"Count Vane of the Blackstone Fortress, what is he sending someone for? Su Lun muttered to himself, and then said to the guards, "Bring the messenger to the living room, and I'll go over." ”

"Yes!"

Su Lun returned to the battle preparation hall and gave a brief explanation, and then walked towards the meeting room.

"You are the messenger of Count Vane?" said Suren as he glanced at the dusty knight in front of him.

"Yes, sir. After seeing Su Lun, the knight hurriedly pleaded: "My lord, the Blackstone Fortress is in danger, Count Vane asks you to send troops as soon as possible to help us defeat the orcs, this is a personal letter from Count Vane to you." ”

The guard next to him stepped forward to take the bamboo tube, then checked it and sent it to Su Lun. Su Lun took it over and took a look, there was a noble badge on the tuyere of the bamboo tube, and the seal was not broken, and then he opened the seal and took out a piece of parchment from it and looked at it.

The content of the letter was not unexpected by Suren, it was nothing more than that Suren wanted Suren to send troops to help them fight with the orcs, and at the same time promised that as long as Suren sent troops, he would promise to help him obtain the title after the battle, including fiefs, and these fiefs were not the northern wasteland, but the hinterland of the Kingdom of Florence. At the same time, he also faintly threatened that if Su Lun refused, then he would not pass the assessment of the development territory, and would tell the orcs the news of Zhenbei City.

Su Lun sneered in his heart, he didn't believe a word about this promise, it didn't say that he would definitely help Su Lun get these things, but it said that it would be reported to the king, and the king would not care about his affairs if he agreed or not, and he could use this excuse to prevaricate him at that time.

However, Suren was not interested in these promises, and finally carved out such a good situation in the Northland Wasteland, and he only returned to the Kingdom of Florence to become the village chief when his brain was in water. That's right, it's the village chief, according to the current level of rewards in the Florentine Kingdom, Suren is at most a baron, and then divides several villages as his territory.

"Take the messenger to rest first, and we will consider sending troops to help the Blackstone Fortress, we need to discuss it. Su Lun considered it in his heart, and did not refuse or agree.

"My lord, the Blackstone Fortress really needs your help!" the envoy said eagerly when he heard that Su Lun was about to discuss.

"You go and rest first, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. Suren waved his hand, then motioned for the guards to take him away.

Seeing that Su Lun no longer cared about himself, the envoy could only reluctantly follow the attendant and leave.

Suren wasn't too worried about this war between humans and orcs, and he was thinking about how to get the most out of it.

In his opinion, the best outcome would be for both humans and orcs to lose, but that was rare, and according to the information he had received, the orcs were now desperate.

The humans weren't prepared, and although the Blackstone Fortress temporarily held off the orcs' onslaught, the stalemate lasted too long. According to the Hippogriff and the scouts, the Orcs don't have much baggage at all, and they must take the Blackstone Fortress before they run out of food, and the human reinforcements will take at least a month.

Su Lun still knew the solidity of the Blackstone Fortress, he had entered the wasteland from the Blackstone Fortress in the first place. Blackstone Fortress was built in Blackstone Canyon. This canyon is called Blackstone Canyon because of its black rocks.

The walls of the fortress are twenty meters high, there are cliffs on both sides, and the valley mouth is in the shape of a trumpet, and the fortress is being built at the position of the horn mouth, so it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if Su Lun is allowed to attack, it will be very difficult if he does not personally take action to capture this place.

But for some reason, he had a strange feeling that the orcs must have a way to break through the Blackstone Fortress. Suren didn't know why he was so sure. He didn't want to see the orcs win, once the orcs breached the Blackstone Fortress, the northern provinces behind the Blackstone Fortress would be plundered.

He didn't care about these, he cared about the orcs getting a lot of food because of it. You must know that the orcs have always been in a state of undernourishment in the northern wasteland, if the orcs get a sufficient supply of food, and then have enough food, the orcs will definitely continue to fight, and Zhenbei City will definitely not be spared at that time.

Moreover, the outbreak of the war had too great an impact on the trade of Zhenbei City, and almost all trade routes had been interrupted. Moreover, the migration of displaced people was also forced to be interrupted, and the development of Zhenbei City would take at least ten years to rely on natural production to increase the population, and Su Lun did not have so much time to waste.

After taking the messenger away, Suren returned to the War Readiness Hall and ordered all the warriors to prepare for battle. He didn't plan to do it directly against the orcs, but was ready to hide and steal some benefits.

The next day, Suren left the city north of the town with his army, leaving Hathaway and Chrissy behind, along with a thousand pikemen and archers. He led the rest of the army and left with the Harpys.

The orc army was more than three hundred miles away from Zhenbei City, and it took three days for the army of Zhenbei City to come to a forest only ten kilometers away from the battlefield.

At this time, the Blackstone Fortress has become a flesh millstone, a meat grinder, where both humans and orcs are constantly bleeding.

There were blood stains everywhere on the ground, and a disgusting fishy smell permeated the entire canyon. Some of the corpses that had not had time to dispose of had begun to decompose, and vultures in the sky were circling back and forth.

The human defenders of the entire fortress were exhausted by a week of continuous high-intensity fighting, but their expressions were relatively stable, because reinforcements had already arrived, and although those reinforcements were just a group of farmers who had left their heads down, the follow-up troops would continue to arrive.

As long as the reinforcements are sufficient, relying on this natural danger, they believe that no matter how many orc armies come, they will end up with a head break and bleeding as before, and finally retreat in disgrace.

The war has been going on for a week, and although the human defenders have suffered tens of thousands of heavy casualties, the orc army has also suffered heavy casualties. Just the corpses piled up outside the fortress were already a meter or two high, and standing on the city wall and looking down looked like a slaughterhouse, except that instead of cattle and sheep, humans and orcs were slaughtered.

"General, you're wounded!" a guard came to Vane's side, saw blood oozing from Vane's arm, and quickly took out the wound medicine and bandages.

"It's okay, a little injury, you go down and rest. "As the supreme governor of the Blackstone Fortress, Vane is still very qualified. As a nobleman, he was significantly different from other noble generals, and was more popular among the soldiers.

Blackstone Canyon is very windy.

A bitter wind came out of the northern part of the canyon, and the strong fishy smell made Vane frown.

"The messenger did not return, and the lord of the northern city of that town did not come. ”

"Expected. ”

"You go back and rest first. I'm here watching alone. Gavin shook his head and said, at this time Gavin was covered in blood, and the hard armor on his body had many dents, which looked tattered.

"Okay!" Wayne got up and went back to rest, he had to keep his energy up as manager.

The night wind howled.

Five kilometers outside the Blackstone Canyon, the camp of the orc army, the orcs are not resting at this time, in the largest camp, the orc priests are feeding some strange creatures.

These creatures have a pair of fleshy wings, dark green skin on the outside, and the head is the head of a dragon, but it looks very ugly, the neck is a little short, the body is strong, and the two hind legs are very powerful, if Suren is here, he can recognize it at a glance, this is a kind of wurm, the name is bipedal wyvern.

Bipedal wyverns are not too powerful among flying wurms, their body length is three meters, their wings are about five meters, they have no dragon breath, but they can spray venom, and the venom effect of bipedal wyverns is very deadly.

At this time, more than a dozen bipedal wyverns were quietly squatting on the ground, and the orcs next to them kept feeding them, and soon after all the bipedal wyverns were fed, a shaman priest walked over.

The old shaman grabbed a handful of powder from a worn-out pocket and muttered an obscure language, and soon a wave of elemental energy began to converge, and the old shaman scattered the powder into the sky.

A red aura shrouded them, and all the bipedal wyverns were wrapped in this red light, and soon these bipedal wyverns couldn't help but roar, their bodies were significantly stronger than before.

After seeing this effect, the old shaman was visibly relieved.

"Let's get moving!"

At the sound of an order, more than a dozen orcs climbed on the backs of these bipedal wyverns with weapons, and each bipedal wyvern carried two orcs, two-legged wyverns, flapping their wings hard, obviously very difficult, at this time, the shaman cast a spell again, a stream of wind elements converged, and then blessed the bipedal wyvern.

"Flying!"

After blessing the flying technique, more than a dozen bipedal wyverns flew into the sky with more than thirty orcs, there was no light in the sky, thick dark clouds obscured all the starlight, more than a dozen bipedal wyverns melted into the darkness, and then identified the direction and flew directly towards the Blackstone Fortress.

The speed of the Wyvern was very fast, and in order to prevent humans from hearing the sound of wings flapping, all the Wyverns flew to a height of a thousand meters, and with the help of the bonfire of the Blackstone Fortress on the ground, the Wyvern carried the orcs over the Blackstone Fortress.
