He is famous all over the world for falling in love with the devil and killing him
Chapter 14 Princess Hug! ! !
Of course it is Lord Morton.
Judging from what happened before and after, even a brain like Roy thought why the Lord Morton would not let him retreat, and he murmured in disbelief: "...The more losses Xueyuan City suffers, the more the Dika family and the Xueniu clan The harder it is to gain a foothold in Xueyuan City, the former was caught colluding with the northern orcs, while the latter is naturally inseparable from the orcs, and Lord Morton just wants them to die more thoroughly."
——However, as the lord of the city, as long as he can hold the city, it is still a great achievement. Even if more than half of the casualties, Xueyuan City will enter a relatively peaceful development period after the northern orcs are wiped out. At that time, there will always be a large number of businessmen. come running.
Merchants will bring money, population, and fresh blood to a city.
As for the matter that the Xueyuan City is broken, the Morton family will also be finished...it is very difficult to happen, because Vito and Roy have discussed it again. In-law relationship, so if they want to go to Greenwood City to seek rescue, they will not be able to find it, because the Lord Morton probably has already got a good breath.
At the critical moment of life and death in Xueyuan City, the relatives of the city lord led an army to rescue. This is such a heroic and beautiful story.
This is not the first time Roy has seen this kind of thing. Whether it was in a book, or what Jagosis told him, or similar things he experienced during his travels, it stands to reason that he should be surprised. Strange.But when he saw in Xueyuan City that the people here loved and worshiped their city lord so much, he still felt very uncomfortable.
He asked Vito: "Is it so difficult that he doesn't have any feelings for the people of Xueyuan City?"
Vito was silent for a while: "... If a person thinks that if you have more money, you will always spend it, and if you have less money, you can earn it again, will he still cherish it?"
Roy tightly pursed his lips and stopped talking, and Vito wanted to persuade him again, since Jagosis said not to stick to it, it is better to leave now.It was an emergency just now and they couldn't get away, but now they have also seen that the plight of Xueyuan City is beyond their control, so they might as well go south to see if they can get reinforcements.
But the words swirled around in my mouth twice, and when I said it, it became: "...My Terrence family did something wrong and committed a felony before. It's hard for Your Majesty to trust me anymore. Now the only way out is to make meritorious service. "
As he said that, he hugged the little Jianuo tightly in his arms: "Roy... Uncle, if possible, please take Jianuo away when the time comes, he will be the most loyal Terrence patriarch."
Roy couldn't help being a little moved: "Don't worry, I will make sure that your father and son leave safely."
Vito thought to himself, what's the use of me leaving? If you die, His Majesty will probably flay me alive →_→ But he knew very well that it would be unreasonable to explain to Roy with this reason. The guy is born with little brains, and if he told him how much His Majesty Yargyess cared about him, he would probably treat it as a brotherly relationship... and then he would help Yagghis defend the city even more if he was moved.
Kafina watched a failed tuogu. She didn't have any pre-war declarations, nor did she have any last words or unfulfilled wishes to say, so she became the coolest one in the group.Just wait until Roy and Vito are done talking and ask them what they plan to do next.
In fact, if Jianuo were not here, they would have more choices. Although Vito's strength has been greatly reduced, he is a high-level demon after all, and he can hide easily by himself, so there is no need to worry about self-protection; Na's strength has been shown before, and both parties are quite satisfied with this new "partner", and neither of them will hold back, so they can choose to go out of the city, and it is best to directly assassinate the great chief of the northern orcs. In this war, the human side will have a much greater chance of winning.
Kafina didn't have as many worries as Roy, and said very coolly that she would go out of the city to have a look. If she was about to die, she would put black fireworks in the sky, and Roy would know the situation.After the thief girl left, Roy and Vito also acted.The owner of Xueyuan City, Chief Morton, said that he would swear to defend the city to the death. This is really not empty talk. Roy found that the atmosphere of Xueyuan City had changed, as if people had a backbone all of a sudden.The craftsmen are no longer busy repairing the city walls, but are tinkering with the previous cannons. They also took out a lot of materials to build mechanisms spontaneously. Roy guessed that the contribution value would be more profitable during the war. as an investment.
When Roy walked to the street and the city wall, he found that his treatment was different. People saw that he was covered in blood before, and they knew that he had fought bloody battles. Naturally, they respected him more. .But after witnessing him being bullied by Lord Morton, they began to look at him suspiciously.
But after Roy received a temporary battle fort badge, these people didn't pay much attention to him again. It seemed that they all thought that it was impossible for a warrior not to earn contribution points. Since Roy was willing to work with them, We all became companions.
Are the fighters now so innocent?
Or did Jagohis' reforms make them unconditionally believe in good policy now?
However, the thought of these people becoming aware that they are likely to die, but still willing to risk their lives for fame, money, and family welfare, etc., made Roy's heart heavy.
They worked together and dug a deep trench outside the city, about ten yards wide and five yards deep, with many arm-thick wooden thorns inserted deep into it. There were many weeds in the field in early spring, and they were dug They came out and filled it in, and then sprinkled a layer of floating soil, so that it looked flat from a distance, and the orcs would suffer as soon as they entered.
This is just the simplest arrangement, and it is also a fixed facility that will be installed every autumn, so it is not difficult to make, and it can be used after digging last year.The city wall was full of archers, and the gunners were also ready. Roy found that not only the models of many cannons were different from those he had seen before, but their functions were also very different from what he knew.For example, a kind of ice cannon that can freeze the enemy. Although its power is a little weaker than that of traditional cannons, it can reduce the movement speed of enemies in an area, and its functionality is more powerful.
This kind of cannon carriage and shells are specially made, ordinary blacksmiths can't make them, and they need the cooperation of blacksmiths and enchanters to complete.
"If I can become a blacksmith sometime and forge this thing... I won't worry about it in my life!" A dwarf blacksmith wielded a hammer and banged on the ordinary cannon that he was said to have built. said loudly.
The orcs outside the city may attack at any time, so the sentinels have already climbed up the high sentry tower.This day until the middle of the afternoon, everyone's spirits were inevitably a little slack, and the beasts showed up from the north.
"Beep beep beep!" The sentinel blew the horn whistle, and the loud voice resounded through Xueyuan City.Immediately, the whole city was in full battle, but as the orcs advanced, the ground seemed to vibrate. The warriors and soldiers looked at each other in amazement. Roy took out a telescope from his backpack and looked over, only to find out: "... ...they are riding giant wolf beasts?!"
"What?!" Captain Kamo who was standing beside Roy hurriedly snatched the binoculars: "Show me--what the hell?!!!"
Those burly and savage orcs actually rode giant gray-white fur giant wolves on their crotch-down. This is a low-level monster that likes to move in groups. They live in extremely cold places and are very Few fighters would go deep into that place. Roy encountered one or two packs of giant wolves when he was dueling with Jagsis. The leader was already an elite-level monster with a certain amount of wisdom. When Roy and the others were in trouble, they took the wolf away. After two days, they came back to have a look and found that Roy and Jacob Heath were fighting, so they had to give up the hunting ground and even left a place for the two of them. A half-dead stag seemed to be begging them not to harm their pack.Warcraft with relatively high IQs will use this method to trade with intelligent creatures.
I didn't expect to see this kind of warlike and intelligent monster again, it would be on the northern battlefield.Generally speaking, giant wolves cannot be tamed, because they are more savage and have lower IQs, so it is not easy to trap them by domestication.I don't know what method these orcs used to attract this group of giant wolves.
——The giant wolf is more than five yards long, with rough skin and thick flesh, and can jump at least □□ yards away with one jump.
And now they are at most less than ten miles away from Xueyuan City.
Roy roared loudly: "... Are there many artillery pieces? How many fire mages are there in the city?"
Some people asked him what was wrong in confusion, but he was stunned as soon as he climbed the city wall.Lord Morton went up to the city wall to take a look. He was naturally more discerning than ordinary fighters. He knew that what Roy said was right. Giant wolves were not afraid of cold but fire, so he gave orders.
In fact, the orcs are very powerful, but not everyone can ride the giant wolf beast. Only the hundreds of big orcs in the front have this privilege, and the rear is still uneven, some are running, some are riding lizards Pony and other strange-looking mounts, and even a few little orcs riding monkeys, it seems that people want to laugh, but no one can laugh now.
"Hey-hey-!!!" The orcs in the front had already charged into the attack range, and following a burst of neat chants, the two ice cannons on the side first smashed down two ice cannons, with a radius of three The range of ten yards was greatly shaken, and patterns of frost appeared, and the leading orc's charging momentum suddenly stagnated.When they went further, the artillery was used here, and suddenly there was a smell of barbecue in the air, which merged with the dark elements coming from the south gate, as if the barbecue had rotted.
"Don't go down the city! Stop it! Don't let an orc in!!!" Almost everyone was shouting the same thing. Roy knew it might be because the orcs didn't ride giant wolves in the past. He asked the city guards , it seems that everyone thinks that the attack methods of the orcs are just those, but they didn't expect that this fixed thinking would go wrong.But panic will only bring death. After thinking about it, Roy injected the power of the Holy Light into his voice: "Don't panic, the empire is with us."
——I used to learn this skill to appease some immature girls, so that they don't always have illusions about themselves... I didn't expect to find a serious use for this skill now.
But it works.
……
Xueyuan City tenaciously supported the whole day under the berserk attack of the orcs.
The first defensive battle didn't end until late at night. Fortunately, the orcs were also tired. After losing more than 20 giant wolves, they retreated to the rear, which gave Xueyuan City some breathing time.After this battle, to be honest, the mentality of many people has changed.
Roy himself didn't know whether he should be relieved or sad... He found that people in Xueyuan City were still afraid of death.
It turned out that the fearless state before was because they had only fought conventional wars with orcs all these years.The so-called conventional war is that the orcs come to plunder after the autumn harvest, and they come to defend the city. The final result is that the defense is usually successful, but the orcs will also rob some things, and neither side has run out of ammunition and food.
They thought it was the same this time.
But now it is different from before everything started. Back then, they could retreat, but now they cannot.Because the retreat is not a matter for one person, of course one or two people can flee in front of the battle, but if it is a large-scale retreat, it needs to be well organized, and issues such as food must also be considered.
Now if they wanted to run, the orcs could immediately enter the city and smash the fortress to pieces.
The second tough battle started the next morning, until the next afternoon, everyone's eyes were bloodshot, and their artillery ammunition was not enough.
Only then did Roy see the chief of the orcs coming slowly, and these bastards also learned to be smart.Previously the orc leader would just run first, but what good was that?Wouldn't it be safer to command your subordinates to charge and wait until the end to pick the fruits of victory?
The orc chief here is a leopard orc wearing fur. He is not the biggest in size, but has the most sinister eyes.Roy knew he was a ruthless character when he saw him. Sure enough, after the orc chief appeared, the battlefield changed. He commanded those orcs who would only crash into the city gates to pick up the big rocks in the wilderness and smash the city. Door.
There were many stones around Xueyuan City, those orcs laughed, and some of them threw fist-sized stones in their palms and threw them at the gate of the city.
Capture the thief first and capture the king first.Roy gritted his teeth.He is the most powerful, and he has killed the most people in the past two days. Fortunately, his weapon is at the master level, so it won't be broken because of such a trivial matter, but he is not as good as a weapon. Heath was even more tired during the decisive battle.
After all, he was alone at that time, but now he has to try his best to take care of these people around him.
The brave man only felt that his mind was slowing down, but he still had an idea - kill the chieftain, so that the orcs would be in a mess and they could delay longer.In this way, he has to jump under the city wall. It doesn't matter, he can succeed. As for what he will do after he succeeds, he doesn't need to think about it at the moment.
Roy pushed the little soldier who was almost hit by a stone behind him, and then jumped straight down.There seemed to be an unreal cry in my ear: "...reinforcements are coming!!!"
"His Majesty Augustus is here to save us!!!"
It seems to have come from the south gate, but who is Augustus the Great?It sounds strangely familiar.The brave man almost relied on instinct to cut down the orc chief. He couldn't confirm whether the other party was dead, but he probably chopped off one of his arms. The orcs around him howled as if they were dead. I can kill one or two more, but my fighting spirit and strength are not enough to protect myself.It's a pity, if only I had learned group attack magic well back then...
Before losing consciousness, Roy only felt that he had fallen into a familiar embrace in a daze.
Judging from what happened before and after, even a brain like Roy thought why the Lord Morton would not let him retreat, and he murmured in disbelief: "...The more losses Xueyuan City suffers, the more the Dika family and the Xueniu clan The harder it is to gain a foothold in Xueyuan City, the former was caught colluding with the northern orcs, while the latter is naturally inseparable from the orcs, and Lord Morton just wants them to die more thoroughly."
