Demon Lord

Suddenly, the alarm bell sounded and echoed in the city of Laena in Bergen territory.

People haven't even recovered from the initial doubts, because the war is so far away from them that people don't believe that there is any emergency in this matter. But when the guards belonging to the Mirno family hurried up to the city wall, people gradually sensed the danger.

The lieutenant guarding the city gave orders loudly, and the originally opened city gates began to close slowly. The suspension bridge on the moat was hoisted, and the only remaining north gate was completely closed after a team rushed into the city. The city immediately announced that it had entered a defensive state.

Because everything came too hastily, many civilians and even seven or eight nobles were locked outside the city, but no matter how the crowd below shouted, the lieutenants on the city wall were indifferent, and refused to put down the drawbridge and open the city gate.

Knowing the inside story, the lieutenant's face turned pale, and some soldiers trembled nervously. Who would have thought that the orc army would suddenly appear in Bergen's territory across thousands of miles?

Regarding this question, Earl Mirno, who had just fled into the city in embarrassment, could not come up with an answer at all.

His greasy and sweaty face was no longer as shrewd as he used to be, because he had to plan various plans against Efta before, and he had been staying in the westernmost town of Morrell in the territory. It is the transportation hub of the Bergen territory and several important territories of the entire Karen Kingdom, and it also has a lot of post stations and pigeon coops. Although it is a town, its scale is no different from that of a small city.

This is the hinterland of the Karen Kingdom, so the entire town has not organized too many armed forces. And because of this, when more than 3,000 orc troops suddenly rushed out of the forest, the entire town of Morrell was wiped out without even the slightest ability to resist.

Because of the desperate protection of the guards, Mirno finally escaped at the expense of more than 20 people. Although he was not injured at all, his spirit was completely stimulated, and he still hasn't come back to his senses until now.

How...how could it appear here...

Earl Mirno knew that he was really interpreting what it means to raise tigers to infeste.

What Charles II asked him to do was drive away tigers and devour wolves. How could he think that this group of tigers who couldn't bite the shell of Efta's tortoise would dare to bite back directly at the risk of being besieged!

The technology I gave to construction machinery and the defense map I gave to Efta, if they tasted the sweetness, they would definitely bite like blood-sucking leeches. But why would they change their target to themselves?

This kind of carelessness made Milno feel regretful, but the huge gap in strength made him feel cold all over!

Karen Kingdom is not without troops,

It's not that they can't make up a knight order that can face the orcs head-on. But the key problem is that these soldiers and knights usually stay in their fiefs. When there is no conscription order, no lord can directly pull up a team of thousands of people to fight.

This is not Efta, not only has no conscription been carried out, but there is even no pre-war preparation for erecting the wall to clear the field. So after the orc troops rushed in, the momentum was completely like chopping melons and vegetables, and it was completely unstoppable.

There are many knights who are pretentious on weekdays who are really powerful, but what's the use of being a powerful knight in the territory? When the farmer's auxiliary soldiers didn't even have time to wear their equipment, they were directly bloodbathed one by one by the orc army...

At this moment, Mirno felt his mind was in a mess, and he didn't know where to recruit soldiers, because half of his knights had already been hacked to death by orcs. Even if the rest of them start to order the assembly now, it will take five days before they can be seen.

But there is no other way, so he immediately ordered people to gather the remaining troops, then wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, rushed into his study and began to write a letter to report to Charles II.

My lord! The orcs have rushed under the city wall!

The sudden military information made his hands tremble, and the tip of the quill pen snapped off, and the ink stained the entire parchment black.

Mirno stayed there for a long time, and suddenly he began to think about the root of everything:

Why did the orcs rush here?

If his son had made friends with Everta back then, would this situation still happen?

But now there is no room for regret. He slumped against the back of the chair, said nothing, and silently waited for the judgment of fate.

*****

Great chief, the four towns have been controlled by us! The surrounding villages are not fortified at all!

The adjutant reported the results of the battle excitedly, his voice was very loud, and when he said these words, he wished that the soldiers in the whole town could hear them. In fact, he did it, and the cheers of the orcs around him became one.

This is the correct way to attack! If Efta is a tortoise with nowhere to eat for them, then these places outside of Efta are simply delicacies that have been cooked and are waiting for them to eat!

From the beginning to the end, the orcs felt that they had never encountered a decent army. Occasionally, some nobles tried to bring their own guards to resist, but the soldiers who stayed in the greenhouse for a long time were really not much different from the civilians in front of the orcs.

The only stubble encountered was overwhelmed by the army blessed by the great chief with shaman magic. These include two low-level mages, two great knights, and a middle-level magician who was smashed into a pulp by Sauron himself. At least so far, the soldiers have not suffered any defeat. feel invincible...

Let the soldiers besieging the city retreat, don't waste time there, we need to conserve energy.

Sauron's calm words were poured down like a basin of cold water. The adjutant's excited expression cooled down quite a bit. He scratched the back of his head and said hesitantly: Great Chief, there are obviously not many guards guarding that city. If you believe me, I promise to break through before dark tomorrow!

I believe in your ability, Carpence, but have you thought about it... What will we do after we capture this city? Sauron paced slowly, pointing to Fang Fang: We haven't fought against the real elite forces of this country yet. However, the biggest advantage right now is just rushing in when they were undefended.

When we were on the Nehemia grassland, humans did similar things. Have you forgotten?

Rody and his army bloodbathed several tribes, as long as Sauron's direct lineage is clear, so these words immediately made the adjutant sober.

This is not a paradise for taking and taking. If they react, this is a quagmire that can plunge you and me into death. Do you understand?

Carpence nodded as if discouraged: I understand, Great Chief.

Is there anything to gain in town?

This topic immediately cheered up the latter, and Carpence said excitedly: Great Chief, we have grabbed more than 500 horses and countless grains. The inventory of thirteen blacksmith shops is enough for the entire legion to update their equipment!

good.

This is only a gain on the surface, the massacre of the population and the attack on the nobles will also have an extremely serious impact on the Karen Kingdom, but these situations are no longer what Sauron wants to consider. After sending pathfinding soldiers to report the information from the eastern part of the kingdom, he has already started planning the next route.

Sauron knew the advantages of his army, so he would never do stupid things like siege and garrison. The soldiers seem to have high morale now, but in fact physical strength will eventually become a problem that cannot be ignored. No matter how weak the enemy is, it is not a wooden pile. Although the results are quite fruitful, it is an indisputable fact that the entire main force is exhausted from the attack.

What's more, the existence of those mages gave Sauron an increasingly bad premonition. He could clearly sense that more than ten mages had blocked his attack route, but most of these mages obviously had no loyalty, and they all chose to protect themselves and leave.

But what if they choose to collectively stop themselves?

When there are enemies on all sides, one wrong step may be the result of eternal doom. Battle to support war is a good model, but you must leave room for yourself, there will never be any good results if you rush around.

He took out the map of the Karen Kingdom that he had found from a certain nobleman's house, thinking about the next attack plan in his mind. Although he would always glance at the sign of the palace in the south from time to time, after thinking about it again and again, he finally Or give up that aggressive idea...

There will be a chance after all.

He slowly closed the map, got up and walked outside the house.

………………

When Sauron's attack was a great success, the orcs outside Elson City were also preparing for the upcoming general attack.

These days, a large number of orcs have been sent to log, and siege ladders and siege vehicles have been made, far exceeding any siege. Obviously, the record of being unable to attack for a long time and the difficult logistics made Warlord Lakor and Duda determined that they could not fail again. This attack must have full confidence!

These Sirius cavalry scouts continued to bypass the city of Elson, and were quickly driven away by the dragoon cavalry, but they obviously observed the destroyed city from a distance and reported to the warlord Their conclusion: The walls of this city are poorly repaired, and there is nothing remarkable about it except that the walls are tall.

The only thing that puzzled the few warlords were the stones floating in the sky. No one could explain what the Floating Tower was. After getting used to it, they realized that it wouldn't affect them, so in the end they just let it go.

After all, orcs don't know anything about magic, so it's not surprising to have such a result.

As for Elson City, these days, the gates of the city are still wide open, and farmers in the periphery should be farming. With the existence of the Phantom Barrier, what the orc scouting troops see is always a simulated illusion.

There is no suspense in such a war, and even Houdini silently felt sad for the orcs.

On the central floating tower, Camilla, who was finishing her daily affairs, was lost in thought on the edge of the floating tower. Compared with the orcs who were about to be completely finished, Rody's current situation was obviously more worthy of her concern.
