That's very badass

Chapter 18 The End of the Northern Exploration Territory (Part [-])
Roland ordered his subordinates to march all the way in a hurry, but they failed to catch up with the orc troops.It's not that he couldn't catch up, but that after catching up, he had to slow down because of his physical strength.

Not to mention whether he could catch up, but also because he saw a few orcs on the road, even if he caught up, it would be nothing more than a handful of loess under the feet of the orcs when his energy was exhausted.

According to some clues, Roland came to a conclusion that surprised him, that is, these orcs were preparing to clean up these pioneering territories in the north.

In this way, it was not until evening that Roland and the others saw the fire on the city wall.

On the city wall, there are many soldiers in armor, and this brazier is lit every not far away, and the cheers of soldiers can be heard from time to time.Occasionally flashing figures appeared extremely busy.

As for the orcs, the fangs protruding from their mouths gleamed coldly in the moonlight. They were all muscular and strong, exuding a fierce aura.

These orcs are already building siege ladders. There are actually dozens of siege ladders being built. There are also many logs tied together scattered on the ground. These are obviously wooden bridges used to cross the moat. They are still there. It was wrapped with animal skins to prevent fire.

At this time, Roland was faced with a dilemma. Turning around and leaving obviously violated the spirit of the contract. After all, he was employed by the lord here.But if he wanted to lead the soldiers in, as a commander, he couldn't disregard the lives of the soldiers like this.

After thinking for a long time, he finally couldn't let go of the idea of ​​getting rich overnight. These orcs are big mobile experience packs, and Roland was reluctant to give up.There are more sophisticated equipment in the warehouse of the barony, and Roland is reluctant to give it up.

The basis for all this to be implemented is the strategic map that comes with the system, which allows you to see the number of enemies and ourselves within one kilometer.With this, as long as there are not many orcs left, he can defeat them and enjoy the fruits of victory.

If it turned out that there were still a lot of orcs left, I would retreat to the North Wind Fortress by myself. Anyway, there was a map, and at most a little slower, safety was guaranteed.

"Wealth and wealth are sought in insurance, fight hard."

Roland looked at the castle quietly, waiting for his opportunity.

The orcs quickly set up a siege ladder. They formed a group of ten people, and four people walked in front holding logs and planks that had been tied up in advance.The wooden board can be used as a shield to defend against arrows, and there are about ten people behind them. Two of them hold siege ladders and can set them up at any time, and the remaining people can take up their positions at any time. After passing the moat, they will set up directly on the city wall.

The humans obviously discovered the orcs' attack. They took out rockets, lit them on the brazier nearby, and shot at the orcs.

The rocket hit the thick log, and the fire couldn't burn at all after a while, and the orc continued to rush forward regardless.

The rocket that had been placed with high hopes did not have the expected effect. Although it had been expected, Baron Kirwan could not hide his disappointment, but he did not order to replace the ordinary arrow.

In the case of victory, of course, it is possible to save as much as possible. In this situation where the result is almost invisible, there is nothing to waste. As long as there is an effect, I will give it all.

Although Baron Kirwan thought so, the soldiers below saw that the rocket did not achieve the expected effect, and their morale dropped a lot visible to the naked eye.Although the frequency of arrows remained the same, everyone was silent for a while, just executing orders mechanically.

"I can't say that as long as you persist, you can do anything, but as long as you give up, you will have nothing."

After Baron Kirwan finished speaking, he didn't speak again.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner. The security team is responsible for carrying arrows, kerosene, and stones, everything that can cause harm to the orcs.The soldiers, on the other hand, are recharging their energy and recharging their batteries, ready to fight the orcs at any time.

Soon the orcs broke through the moat, and a rocket shot at the shoulder of an orc. The orc only paused, then broke the arrow and continued to charge forward.Such a powerful orc put everyone under tremendous pressure. If it weren't for the fact that there was no retreat, they might have collapsed at this time.

Among the charging orcs, only a very small number of orcs fell to the ground because of their vital hits, and this was still without iron armor.

If the First Empire hadn't been destroyed, the orcs at this time might just dare to stay on their own territory honestly.

Many people began to nostalgia for the glory of the First Empire.

Baron Kirwan thought of a man, Roland, I don’t know his surname, and his troops were in neat formation; if he was there, it’s a pity that he is not from my Kirwan family. If his soldiers are as elite as him, maybe this victory The negative is still unknown.

What Baron Cowan didn't know was that no matter what the strength of the cavalry and slashing soldiers were, they could accurately eliminate several formations. This had nothing to do with whether they were strong or not.

The shattering sound of the clay pots awakened the meditating Baron Kirwan, and it turned out that the orcs had already rushed to the city.As the rockets shot out, some orcs were set ablaze on the spot, and they scrambled to jump into the moat.

The kerosene melted into the water in an instant, igniting the river surface. When they put their heads out of the water, what they saw was this sea of ​​flames, so they had to stick their heads into the water again.However, whether it is a human or an orc, they all need to breathe, and their struggles are of no avail.

Even if the orc is dead, the fire will still burn there until the fire oil is exhausted.

At this time, the orcs were obviously like humans, with no way out, and the tragic death of the orcs aroused their ferocity even more.Their red eyes are particularly conspicuous at night, like demons from the abyss.

Because the city wall was too wide, the number of defenders was seriously insufficient. The soldiers who could only satisfy the defense of the inner fort were very few on the expanded city wall.

This is a place guarded by only three people, and the orc's ladder is set up at the parapet; a soldier tried to push down the siege ladder, but as soon as he got his head up, he was smashed in the chest by a whistling handaxe. It penetrated the leather armor and fell into the chest, bleeding profusely.When the orcs below saw this scene, they grinned ferociously, holding a weapon in one hand and a ladder in the other, and quickly climbed up.

The soldiers above did not dare to show their heads again, but they also stuck to their positions, and at the same time called for support
However, the orcs prepared too many siege ladders, and they were too scattered. In some places, the orcs had already rushed up the city wall before the fire oil was moved there.

In desperation, the baron had no choice but to order the soldiers to abandon the outer fort. The security team set off first, and the soldiers retreated slowly through the hinged wooden bridge at the junction of the city walls.

Although they retreated a part before entering the inner castle, the gate of the inner castle was too small, and a stampede incident inevitably occurred.

More and more orcs climbed onto the city wall, but less than half of the humans retreated. Every second of waiting seemed particularly painful.

After observing the terrain, the orc commander did not choose to attack from the inside of the city, but chose to attack from the junction of the city walls.

Seeing the attack direction chosen by the orcs, the baron's face changed. At this time, the orcs had already entangled with some human soldiers. Obviously, if they were to be all withdrawn, the orcs would also rush in.
