Demon Lord

Although the Sola sentry post is called a sentry post, it can actually be used as a simple fortress. Relying on the city walls and towers, it can easily deal with small-scale invaders.

And as a private soldier of the Luciferon family, Hanks, who is absolutely loyal to the Duke, will naturally not be greedy in the construction of the sentry post: the city wall made of solid wood is four meters high, and the entire camp is square. The gate, a 12-meter-high tower, and four 8-meter-high sentry towers. A gully was dug around the sentry post to prevent the cavalry from approaching. Although there was no moat, if the orcs stood below and attacked, the six-meter drop of the city wall would be enough to make them suffer.

Commander Hanks was extremely confident in the defense of this sentry post, and the enemy he had to deal with was orcs known as brainless, so he didn't take these green-skinned savages seriously. So at this time, when he saw the wolf cavalry team retreating far away, he was not too nervous...

However, this abnormality still made him secretly vigilant: according to common sense, the orcs would not harass at all, and their fighting style is just like a fool, yelling and rushing straight up. Run, never pay attention to any tactics.

What are these guys up to?

Hanks felt that he seemed to be thinking too much. In terms of the IQ of the orcs, it was probably because the image of the sentry was too tall and scared them away, right?

Let Luther lead someone to guard the tower, and the rest will be released from alert.

He walked back to the command room calmly, waved his hand and said, Everyone have something good to eat at night, the logistics are not tight, don't treat the brothers badly.

The soldiers rushed out happily, while Hanks sat in front of his desk, picked up the quill pen and prepared to report today's situation to Angmar, but the quill just wrote December 23rd, and the door The soldiers outside turned back.

What's up?

Commander, urgent letter.

Hanks took the curled note tied to the leg of the carrier pigeon, and just glanced at it before frowning: The whole army is wiped out? How is this possible?!

He just received the avalanche message at this time, and he suddenly became a little bored... He knew very well what Rody's troops meant: in this border area where killing is controlled and buried, no power can compare with real swords and guns Force is easy to talk about. In the past, he might not have cared about the hundred or so soldiers supported by Roddy, but if the orcs always harass him like this...

He turned his head and asked in a serious tone: Among the lords supporting here, when will the fastest one arrive?

commander,

The nearest one should be Lord Greenton, who wrote earlier that he might arrive on January 10th.

That means there are still seventeen days left.

Hanks secretly screamed in his heart, Be on guard, everyone sleeps with weapons.

He gave the order decisively, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart: In these seventeen days, there shouldn't be any accidents, right?

However, what happened in the next few days still made him feel an unspeakable chill in his heart...

On December 24, the second reconnaissance team that went out to patrol was wiped out.

On December 25, the fourth team was attacked and three people were killed.

On December 26th, under pressure, Hanks narrowed the scout's detection range. However, the orc attacks continued. The soldiers who killed four people again became depressed, and some even feared the mission.

On December 31st, the logistics team that was supposed to arrive on schedule has been missing for three days, which made Hanks look even more ugly... He finally sent four teams to investigate together, but the result... was on the transportation route They found a carriage that had been swept away in the street and bloodstains all over the place.

There were no bodies at the scene.

Hanks was full of anger, but faced with such wreckage, he could only swallow his anger—everyone understood... For orcs, there is no difference between human corpses and animal corpses. In the cold winter when food is scarce, They are all fresh meat that can satisfy one's hunger.

These orcs have begun to brazenly invade Karen's territory!

Although he intends to take revenge, the successive incidents have brought morale to the bottom. And as Supreme Commander, Hanks knew very well...he had to make a decision.

Between defend the city and take the initiative to attack, he resolutely chose the latter - because Hanks understands that if he continues to be so useless, the complete loss of morale and confidence is far more terrifying than the death of a few people .

Assemble the troops and prepare for battle!

On the evening of December 31, Sola sentry entered the highest level of readiness.

*****

In the orc camp twenty kilometers away, Sauron was squinting at a bloody human soldier in front of him, and asked in a calm tone, Don't think that you can fool me and lie in front of me with those things you just made up. , is definitely not a wise choice.

Seeing a guy with green skin and fangs speak such an orderly Blinga language, the captured soldiers were also a little dazed. There were several wounds on his body, and the severe pain made his body twitch. The air is gone.

I...I won't say...

If you don't say it, someone will naturally say it.

Sauron's expression didn't change in any way, he just reached out to pick up his battle axe, and smashed the man's head with a bang - blood and brains splashed on his face, this man who was burdened with hatred The witch doctor stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked it, then turned his eyes fiercely to his subordinates: Bring the next one here.

The dead humans were naturally used as rations by those orcs, but Sauron, like his mentor, behaved like a human being, and had no interest in human flesh, and even didn't like the barbaric habits of his subordinates.

But as the leader of this exiled tribe, he knew very well... that he had no way out.

Although the looting of this batch of logistic supplies alleviated the food shortage crisis in the camp, if they want to survive the whole winter, the food alone is far from enough.

So all his next decisions were fighting for his own life, and for the lives of everyone in the tribe.

And...he had to win!

If you don't have an opportunity, create it yourself.

Sauron clenched the hammer in his hand, silently recalling the words Sarota taught him, and when he looked up at the second human being dragged in front of him, before he could ask any questions, he found that the other person had already started to curse :

Bah! You fucking orc! Some kind of kill me--

Boom!

Sauron directly fulfilled the opponent, swung the huge battle ax out, and the terrifying force instantly smashed the opponent's upper body into a pile of splashing debris, and the corpse crackled as if it had been run over by a train, fell to the ground, causing the nearby The orcs looked at it with pity.

Then, Sauron raised the battle ax high, chanted the spell silently, and after a dark red light flashed, he smashed the battle ax into the ground beside him!

boom…

The unprecedented tremor made the whole camp instantly quiet, and the soldiers of the tribe stopped in their tracks, and then looked wildly at the omnipotent young witch doctor.

Tomorrow, we will kill all humans!

kill!

The wolf cavalry and orc infantry wearing simple armor raised their weapons high and roared. Their cries combined together, like a hungry beast awakened...

However, these manic orcs didn't know that there were several black crows hovering above their heads at this moment.

Happy New Year!

Rody held up the water bag and shouted to the surrounding soldiers in front of the bonfire: Eat with your stomach open, everyone is welcome!

good--

The soldiers around happily raised all kinds of containers. Although they drank water, the atmosphere made them feel warm after all.

Today is December 31st. After the wooden wheels of the carriage were replaced with sledge boards, the speed of the entire army suddenly increased by more than three times. The Sola sentry, which was originally expected to arrive on January 13th, is already close at hand. …

At this time, the entire team was in a forest seven kilometers away from the Sola sentry post, and it was not impossible to get there before dark. Rody did this obviously to conceal his whereabouts.

Send a team to investigate the situation tomorrow, and the team is staying here now.

I understand what you mean... Attracting but not sending out, waiting for the opportunity, we are now an arrow in the back, Suo Deluoer discussed strategy and tactics with Roddy very carefully during this period, and it is very good at analyzing it at this time: These days The news is blocked, and I don’t know how much those nobles can help here—but I guess I don’t count on them.”

Never put your hope in others.

Rody shook his head and picked up a skewer of roasted crispy rabbit meat: Our army is not large in number, so speaking of it, it doesn't really have much effect. You say we're backstabbing, but that's actually true. --Because of our weak strength, we have to shoot in the back, and in the back...often there is only one chance.

Once we are exposed, we lose all our advantages.

This sentence made Suo Deluo think deeply: So... the back arrow must be fatal.

Rody was about to say something, but Akasha who came from the other side of the camp interrupted their conversation - the priest's face was slightly serious, because behind her were two members of the Holy Rose priest.

Ika, Mason, you've worked hard these days.

After getting up and exchanging greetings with these two pastors who were graduated, Rody got straight to the point and said, I know you may still have some prejudices against Akasha, but...I need to say something very serious to you now. : The next enemy is the undead, the mortal enemy of mankind.

Is such a reason enough for you to ignore the past and fight side by side?

The two priests looked at each other, and although they nodded at the same time, they were obviously reluctant—Rhody smiled, reached out and took out four or five scrolls from the bag next to the campfire, and handed them to each other: If there is an emergency, give use it yourself.

This is the buff scroll that Rody specially asked for from Benjamin before leaving. Ika and Mason are obviously very interested in this kind of high-end goods. After a series of guarantees, they left happily. He took a breath and sighed to Suo Deluoer: I'm not afraid of godly opponents, but pig teammates. These two shelves are big, and Carter can't handle them, so I have to remind them a few words in person before they remember.

I'm not a pig.

Akasha heard what he said, and sat aside with a smile. Seeing that Rody didn't respond, she reached out and picked up a slightly smaller gray scroll, and said to him as if offering a treasure: Roddy, let me tell you a secret. ...

Huh? Roddy turned his head.

I can open it...

Akasha put the quaint scroll in Roddy's hands, and at the same time, the words Summon: Legion of the Dead bounced onto the screen that no one else could see, making Roddy dumbfounded.
