That's very badass

Chapter 19 The End of the Northern Exploration Territory (Part [-])
The soldiers fought and retreated, the orcs were often hacked and still alive and well, and the human beings were often hit by the orcs, either falling off the city wall or cracking their shields.

The armor on his body, whether it was leather armor or cotton armor, would shatter at the touch of the orc's exaggerated strength.

The wooden bridge linking the city wall is in front of him, and it will be there in a while. His body suddenly loses strength, and his eyes begin to spin. He saw a headless corpse. He recognizes the clothes, isn't it
This is a young man who couldn't restrain his inner fear and chose to leave his back to the orcs.

The soldiers in the rear didn't have time to be sad, they took up their bows and shot arrows, one by one arrows roared towards the orcs; some of the orcs fell to the ground with several arrows in their bodies, and more orcs rushed forward.

The width of the city wall was only three meters. Due to the narrow terrain, it could only accommodate three orcs attacking side by side.The human arrows were not affected, they didn't even need to aim, they just shot the arrows. They quickly set up their bows and shot arrows, and the orcs also charged forward one after another.

The situation was at a stalemate for a while.

"My lord, do you want to suspend the offensive?" An orc captain asked.

"Continue to attack, and at the same time send people to the moat to fetch those planks, and we will be able to attack soon." The orc commander obviously had plans in mind.

"My lord is really amazing, I thought of it so far from the beginning."

The orc captain understood immediately, and immediately called some orc soldiers to fetch the planks.

In fact, the orc commander didn't think so much, but those wooden suspension bridges closed by humans with hinges reminded him of the wooden planks still staying in the moat.

*****
In such a situation, it seemed that humans had the upper hand and kept killing orcs.But Baron Kewan understands that all this is temporary, and soon the archers will be exhausted, their arrows will be sparse, and after a while, they will completely lose their strength.

"Knight Bellam, open the warehouse and let the soldiers of the security team choose their own weapons and equipment."

"But..."

"There is no need, Knight Bellam Yeager, whether we can survive today depends on how strong the will of those civilians is to survive."

Listening to Baron Kirwan calling his full name, Knight Bellam paused in his heart, knowing that the baron was already very angry, so he didn't say anything more.Greet the quartermaster directly and go to the warehouse.

"All security team members come with me, get weapons and armor, and defend the city together."

Seeing this, Baron Kirwan still couldn't hide his worry.Because of normal training, soldiers only wear simple leather armor and cotton armor, and only put on iron armor during war.In fact, there are still a lot of iron armor in the warehouse, but the orcs attack too fast; he can only order professional soldiers to garrison the city defense, and there is no chance to change them.

The outer city is usually only provided to the nearby villagers as a trading place, and when the orcs came, it was dark, and the commoners had already left the city and returned to their villages.

I blame myself for my carelessness, I thought I could hold out until the reinforcements arrived, but it looked like I couldn't make it through tonight.I don't know what happened to the villages outside the city.

I saw the orcs opening the outer city gate and bringing some unburnt wooden boards to the city wall in the moat.

Facing this wave of attack by the orcs, the defenders were just about to lift the wooden bridge, but the orcs had already rushed up; when the weight changed, some people's hands were instantly crushed underneath, and they cried out in pain.

Seeing this scene, Baron Kirwan knew that the city could no longer be defended.

He came to the lord's hall in a state of desperation. Facing the questions from his wife and son, he didn't say anything, but asked his attendants to put on armor for him.Seeing this, the baroness seemed to understand something. He stopped his child from asking questions, and stepped forward to help the baron put on his armor.

At this time, the Andal knight broke in and spoke as soon as he entered the door. "My lord, break out, the orcs have come up, there are too many of them."

"This is the territory of the Kirwan family, how dare you tell me to leave?" The angry Baron Nob Kirwan drew out his armed sword and pointed the tip of the sword at the Andal knight.

"Because the orcs haven't fully attacked yet, we can open the city gate and rush out from the city gate."

But Andal was not afraid at all, staring at Baron Kewan stubbornly with wide-eyed eyes.

"Okay, you won." Baron Kewan helplessly put down the armed sword in his hand.

"Andal, how long have you been loyal to my family?"

"It has been twenty years, my lord."

"Yeah, it's been 20 years." Thinking of Baron Kovan, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Take two soldiers who can ride horses, take Silas with them, go to the stables to get the horses, and go with two horses. Only riding a horse can escape the pursuit of the orcs."

"My lord, what about you?" Andal asked with a sad face.

"There is no time to be sad, my friend Andal, take my son to Northwind Fortress. From now on, Silas will be the new Baron Kirvan. Before he reaches adulthood, you will be his guardian, protect him, And educate him well. As for me, I'll see if these gutter rats are strong."

Baron Cowan calmed down and looked bright, as if he had returned to his youthful appearance.The Andal knight was in a trance for a while.

"Yes, my lord, promise to complete the task."

After saluting solemnly, Andal stepped forward, pulled Silas and left.

"Promise me, Andal Knight, you must protect Silas."

The baroness understood that the situation had reached an irreversible point, and she shed tears silently as she looked at the 10-year-old Silas.

"Yes, ma'am, Lord Silas Cowan will never be harmed, unless I am dead."

The Andal knight solemnly promised.

"Mother, I want to go with you and father." Silas seemed to understand something, and was unwilling to leave.

"Take him out of here, Andal knight, immediately, immediately."

Roland watched as the number of people representing both sides slowly decreased, and the number of orcs fell below the 100 mark.

Roland exhaled a foul breath, it's time.

"Everyone, follow me."

The soldiers followed Roland across the orc's suspended wooden bridge and came under the city wall.I saw the city gate opened, and the sound of swords and swords clashing faintly came from inside.

Roland raised his right hand to signal the soldiers to stop.

Behind him, Mirron walked gently to Roland.This young man, who had always been known for his stability, now also had a look of anxiety on his face. He firmly grasped the sweaty and slightly slippery weapon.Said: "My lord, how long do we have to wait."

Obviously, being ambushed by a large group of orcs, they all bear a lot of pressure in their hearts, and everyone seems a little anxious.Roland realized that he could use the map to know how many orcs were still there, but these soldiers didn't know.

"There are less than 50 orcs left, wait for my order."

Roland obviously missed half of the orcs, and just wanted them not to be too nervous.

After hearing that there were not many orcs, these soldiers were obviously much more relaxed. They either leaned on the city wall or moved their hands and feet to relieve the muscle tension caused by the tension just now.
