Volume Two [Dark Tide] Chapter 526 Infiltrating

This group of useless trash!

Overseer Rakor's annoyed cursing was quickly drowned out by the noise on the battlefield, and he flicked the whip in his hand vigorously angrily. The sound of the whip temporarily stabilized the morale-turbulent front line. But this couldn't stop the fact that he was constantly disappointed in front of him: his orc soldiers had failed to attack the city wall for the fifth time, and even some soldiers who tried to escape were whipped down by him on the spot...

The seven-meter-long long whip with a metal whip tail is full of power, and a random whip is comparable to a sword. A few unlucky deserters were beaten to pieces on the spot and screamed, but this still can't stop the current negative situation!

He doesn't want to give up!

Together with the logistics and supply troops, Warlord Rakor blocked nearly four thousand orc men outside the fortress. But facing the tortoise-like city wall, the orcs had nowhere to start for two days in a row. They could only pile up more and more corpses under the city wall, and watched their morale continue to decline...

The orcs of the steppe never build fortresses or castles. As a result, their combat skills were greatly limited: charging on the plains and melee combat were no problem, but climbing the walls of the fortress, forcibly charging up against the falling boulders and hot oil, was something that orcs had never done before. matter.

Therefore, even though the wall of the fortress in front of him was only seven meters high, it still became a natural moat in the eyes of the orcs.

Is it just going back like this? That guy Sauron will definitely look down on me...

Rakor believed that he had a large number of fighters, so he was the most powerful among the remaining warlords. On the surface, he listened to Sauron's orders, but he always directed the specific battles by himself, and ignored Sauron's suggestions at all. However, the current situation gave him a headache.

If this attack fails, his leadership prestige will definitely drop significantly. This is definitely not what a power-hungry warlord would like to see.

And when Rakor was worried about the problem of siege,

A messenger galloping from the main force rushed in front of Rakor, and delivered a message from Sauron—Although the orcs have writing, more than 90% of them are illiterate, so most of the orders rely on Completed by dictation.

Rakor frowned after hearing Suo*'s order, but right now he had no room to refuse, and finally decided to follow the chief's order after thinking for a while: Retreat! Let's change places before dark!

The so-called warlord actually doesn't know too many military orders. Rakor's command was still the original method of going straight up and down in the tribe, but the subordinates were relieved because they had long been looking forward to the order to retreat, and they withdrew from the city wall as quickly as possible. , and then gathered the team and marched in the direction indicated by Rakor.

A day later, a team of more than 3,500 people surrounded another fortress that was 40 kilometers away—this fortress La Cole had never been discovered before. The seat is a lot shorter, and the humans defending it seem to be less dense than before.

Obviously, this is a small fortress with relatively weak defense.

This time Rakor was not in a hurry to attack either, because after an orc squad gathered from the main force arrived, they actually started cutting wood nearby to collect materials, and built a ladder on the spot!

If the orcs were stupid, they couldn't be all mentally retarded. In the previous battles, they would make simple wooden ladders to assist in the attack, but because they lacked experience in making siege equipment, successive defeats were inevitable. But right now, this team has quickly built six or seven crude folding ladders—the orcs don't know how to make wheels, so dozens of orcs pushed them to the bottom of the city wall with brute force, although the behavior seemed ridiculous , but the subsequent siege immediately put the fortress in jeopardy...

Because this is the first time that orcs can stand on the walls of a human fortress!

If it weren't for the extraordinary skill of the knights defending the city, the orcs might be able to take the fortress with the third attack.

The flames of the beacon light up, and the critical fortress immediately seeks support from nearby friendly forces. And the eight Efta knights in the vicinity immediately sent troops out of the city to help - these knights had cast off their fear of the orcs at the beginning after several days of defending the city. But full of yearning for making contributions.

A total of about 100 cavalry troops and 700 infantry troops rushed to the fortress where the fierce battle was fought. Naturally, Warlord Rakor had already prepared for the battle, so he rushed forward with the wolf cavalry in person, and killed these Efta knights with just one encounter!

The orcs don't have the principle of the boss doesn't go to the battlefield. They only recognize the strong and don't recognize others. Rakor can command a tribe of ten thousand people, and his strength is beyond the reach of ordinary knights...

Hahahaha kill them all! Don't let any one go!

Rakor was in a very happy mood. The seemingly well-equipped human cavalry in front of him were much easier to deal with than the tough fortress. For the orcs who are best at land warfare, they would rather confront these human cavalry every day than climb the ladder to attack the city-in just three rounds, eight Efta knights were hacked to death by Rakor's battle axe. people!

The morale of the troops who came to help suddenly collapsed, and the knights in the fortress who originally wanted to send reinforcements stopped thinking about going out of the city to attack... They watched the orc troops rushing back and forth like harvesting wheat. There is no way.

The performance of the Efta militiamen who have never experienced war is extremely poor, and it can even be described as abandoning armor and shuffling soldiers. It is not uncommon for three or five people to be driven away by an orc, and then it is simply a one-sided massacre.

Rakor vented his grievances over the past few days, but he weakened the intensity of the siege because he tried his best to deal with the reinforcements. Just at this time, another cavalry team of more than 300 people roared in, and ruthlessly cut into Lacole's team from the side!

Because of the continuous melee, there was no organization and formation on the battlefield for a long time, so this cavalry team bearing the banner of the Wellington Knights immediately caused a large number of orc casualties. Seeing this, Rakor immediately led the guards to charge forward, but the leading Wellington knights did not care about fighting at all. After killing all the orcs outside the city wall, they decisively covered the troops and the remnants entered the fortress.

The cavalry brought by Wellington was far stronger than the knights who had been routed before. Rakor couldn't organize the team in a hurry, and could only watch helplessly as the fortress was replenished with nearly 300 elite veterans.

After another day of hard work to no avail, Lacole finally gave up the attack and moved the target with the remnants and the few remaining supplies.

The battle saw Efta suffer its first mass casualties, with more than six hundred dead. If it wasn't for Wellington's timely rescue, thousands of people in the fortress might have been slaughtered—although the result was not bad, it wasn't a good sign for Knight Titus and Sally in Hollier City. .

The orcs seem to have suddenly become smarter...

Looking at the movements of the orcs on the sand table, Titus made such a judgment.

But he didn't know that this was exactly what Sauron did after receiving a mysterious letter.

As the great chief, Sauron certainly knew what this letter meant. But the enemy suddenly sent a letter containing territory information and blueprints for making siege ladders, and he was more willing to believe that it was a trap.

But it's not a trap, you have to step on it to know. So Sauron asked Rakor, the most powerful warlord under his command, to try it out. If it was a trap, he could consume more of Rakor's troops... But he didn't expect that if Rakor didn't have enough experience in siege, he would almost die Take a fort directly!

Even if it failed to capture in the end, the record of beheading hundreds of humans was solid, and it was indisputable that the morale of the entire tribe would be revived as a result. Sauron was rightly excited, but looking at the stack of letters in his hand, he thought more:

Among the human beings, who is against Roddy?

What purpose did these people have to give themselves this letter?

His gaze stayed on the southeast side of Efta's territory in the letter... Obviously, the answer is not difficult for Sauron to guess.

*****

Is that the orc's camp over there?

Merlinthra's voice was clear and calm in the darkness.

Well, the main force of the orcs is there. Speaking of which, an old friend of mine should be there.

Rody turned his head and took a look. The orc camp with bonfires was not far from the Korn Fortress in the north. Looking around, the planning of the camp is quite neat, which is exactly the same as some of the camping methods in King Karen's grandpa. Such management ability is obviously beyond the reach of ordinary orcs.

Old friend?

Fighted a few times, now he should be the chief of the entire orc army.

After night fell, Rody and his party had already left the area where Elson City was located, but they did not go directly north into the Gondola Mountains, but headed towards the east side of the mountains along the edge of the Nehemiah Prairie. Because of the high terrain, when looking at the border fortress in the distance from here, you can clearly see the movement of the orc army.

But he didn't think the orcs could do anything to Efta, so he didn't bother to think about what Sauron was doing. The speed of the marching team in the dark is naturally due to the various enchantments and buff spells used by the accompanying mages-the load of the barbarian soldiers is almost zero due to the long-term application of the levitation spell. At the same time, they don't need to worry about vision problems, and they walk all the way faster than ordinary troops during the day.

After two days and two nights of marching, Roddy bypassed Tasman's inherent defense line in the Gondola Mountains and the radiation reconnaissance area of ​​the fortress. According to the path confirmed by Houdini through prophecy, Rody unnoticed in one night Crossed a low and hidden valley in the Gondola Mountains.

Even Rody was amazed by Houdini's powerful prophecy spell, because he had only heard of several similar paths that could avoid the monitoring of the undead, but he did not expect that the magister could directly pinpoint it on the map. On, the error is not more than fifty meters!

The narrowest part of the valley was no more than two meters, and the barbarian soldiers walking side by side could only walk sideways. As for Erwin who followed Rody like a humanoid tank, he could only cross it alone. There are also several obstacles in the deep and winding road, but these are not a problem for the mage at all-in the end, with the wet rain coming, Rody's team entered the territory of the Tasman Kingdom without anyone noticing...
