The labyrinth city Orario had a moat when it was first built, but as the population increased and the city continued to expand, the original moat gradually became an inland river.
No one has ever thought that one day in the future, this would become a safety hazard for Orario. After all, under the protection of hundreds of thousands of adventurers, even several times the number of the kingdom's regular army would not dare to set foot in this land of gods.
land.
But this time, what appeared was a group of enemies who didn't play by common sense.
"Quick! Carry the wounded down!"
"Go and temporarily recruit all the shields in the weapons store! Everyone on the city wall has their hands on one hand, and be careful of the opponent's poisonous arrows!"
"What the hell! Is this a goblin? Why do I feel like I'm facing a well-trained army?"
"Be careful! Where is the magician? Go and blow up those trebuchets!"
The number of goblins gathered under Orario's city wall has reached hundreds of thousands, and there are still a steady stream of follow-up troops pouring out of the time and space gates everywhere, showing no signs of decreasing.
These green-skinned monsters, whose appearance is almost the same as the goblins in the dungeon, are not at all what adventurers think they are. They only know how to wield simple sticks and howl and charge mindlessly. Instead, they charge headlong on the enemy city.
After conducting several waves of tentative feints with their firepower, they retreated in an organized and orderly manner, began to cut wood and quarry stones in the surrounding area, and manufactured various crude siege equipment.
This level of intelligence and organizational power makes it difficult to classify him as a "monster".
This is already a war between two races.
"Shield! The shield is coming!"
Tens of thousands of shields urgently mobilized from various weapon shops in the city were transported to the top of the city by supporters of the major clans and distributed to the hands of all front-line warriors.
The adventurers who were temporarily transformed into shield warriors tightly protected the fragile mage profession behind them. Rows of magic arrays of various elements lit up on the city walls, and chants of chants echoed throughout the city.
Boom boom boom!
The magicians poured down all kinds of attack magic regardless of their magic power. The carpet-like bombing instantly overwhelmed the Goblin army under the city wall, and hundreds of crude ladders were also wiped out in the explosion.
The frightened goblins retreated like a green tide, and the adventurers who had been fighting for nearly an hour finally got a brief respite.
…
At the same time, inside the temporary war meeting room below the city wall.
The leaders of the major and medium-sized Familia in Orario gathered here, discussing with solemn expressions the current difficult situation of the Goblin siege.
Of course, only the top ten major dependents have a real say, and the other dependents are just foils and microphones.
The "Lucoa" Familia founded by Luo Jie can actually compete with the "Loki" and "Freya" Familia in terms of high-end combat power, but the total number of people is not even close. In addition, he is low-key.
I have never gone to the Adventurer's Guild to do the family level assessment, so this time it can only exist as a background board without the right to speak.
The person in charge of presiding over the meeting is "Brave Finn".
Although he is not the strongest adventurer in Orario, his overall view and command ability are recognized. Orario has relied on his planning and scheduling to survive all previous crises, so this time it is still up to him.
Serve as commander in chief.
"Tell me what you think."
The heads of each clan exchanged glances with each other. The leader of the Hermes clan, "The Almighty - Asphi", pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and spoke first: "At least now, I am sure, "The Pessimist - Cassandra"
The prediction is accurate. The Goblins appearing outside the city are indeed different from the monsters in this world. Not only do they have extremely high intelligence, but they also have the organizational capabilities of a human army... The only good thing is that their strength is still the same.
Goblin."
The leader of the Ganesha Familia in charge of city defense, "Ganesha's Staff-Shakti", nodded in agreement and said: "Although we mistakenly underestimated the strength of these goblins at the beginning and caused a small number of casualties,
Due to their limited strength, the attack of these goblins is not fierce. As long as we rely on the defense of the city wall, we can continue to hold on."
"Battlefield Saint-Armid" of the Dean Kate Familia sighed softly: "It is indeed impossible for these goblins to break the city, but if we cannot open up the passage to the outside world, how long can we, Orario, be the only city to hold on?
?If I remember correctly, the food reserves in the city seem to only have fifteen days of surplus, right?"
Everyone looked a little ugly when they heard this.
No matter how high the adventurer's level is, he still has to eat. If he can't deal with the raging goblin army outside before the food is exhausted, even someone as strong as "Otta the Fierce" will be dragged to death here.
"Um, can I say a few words?"
The group leaders looked around and saw Luo Jie raising his hand with a smile on his face.
"Brave Finn" raised his hand and said: "Captain Dire, this is a battle meeting, anyone can speak freely."
"Captain Ahmed is right. It is important to open up food channels, but have you ever thought about the question: Is Orario the only city attacked by goblins?"
Luo Jie's words instantly silenced the muffled discussions. It wasn't that everyone had never thought about this issue, but they didn't dare to think about it at all.
If other cities on the mainland were attacked on the scale of Orario, with the conventional military strength of those small countries, the final outcome would be the destruction of the city.
The only difference is the length of time you stick to it.
Suddenly, a battle horn sounded from the top of the city. Then, an adventurer rushed into the conference room panting and said at a loss: "Captain Finn, you... go and take a look! Those goblins...
…”
Everyone immediately got up and rushed to the city as quickly as possible.
When I saw the scene below, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
On the grass outside the magic range, a flood of goblins were seen setting up wooden shields in front of the formation. In front of each shield was a girl or woman in ragged clothes tied up.
Although these women were covered in blood and seemed motionless, it could still be judged from their slightly rising and falling chests that they were still alive.
"These goblins... damn!"
"Brave Finn"'s fist hit the arrow stack hard, and his neat white teeth almost drew blood from biting down.
Even in the previous battle with the dark faction, he had never encountered such a crazy enemy who actually captured innocent villagers to use as human shields.
Compared to the indignant aboriginal adventurers, the players on the city remained quite calm.
Especially for Luo Jie, this despicable and despicable tactic had already made him aware of the origins of these goblins.
"Goblin Slayer".
Only the dark and cruel world of torture for the sake of torture would produce such unscientific goblins.
"Captain Finn, they are starting to attack! What should we do?"
On the vast plain below the city, thousands of shield chariots began to move slowly, driven by numerous goblins. Although the archers and slingers in the rear were not within the protection range of the shield chariots, each team also drove them away.
with several scarred human slaves.
The adventurers on the city wall used rat weapons, and the magicians did not dare to use magic at all. Just relying on the accurate shooting of the archers, facing the tens of thousands of goblin army, it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no splash at all.
"Captain Finn, give the order to attack! Otherwise, when those trebuchets enter the range, the danger of destroying the city will rise sharply!"
The one who was anxiously urging was a female player from the Miao area who had become the leader of a certain small family clan. She obviously recognized these goblins from the world of "Brother Killing". Looking at their pale faces and the fear hidden in their eyes,
It seems that there have been some unspeakable stories with these little green-skinned monsters in the past.
"No!" "Shakti, the Ganesha's Staff", the head of the Ganesha clan, immediately objected and said sternly: "Most of the residents in Orali City have moved from nearby villages.
They are all related by kinship. If we use magic regardless of the life and death of these villagers, even if there is a good reason, it will affect the morale of the city!"
"But can we just let them get close and then watch these goblins break the city gate?" The female player from Miao District argued hard, her voice almost hoarse.
"Brave Finn" raised his hand to stop everyone's quarrel, and said with finality: "Organize the manpower, open the city gate, raid the goblins, and rescue the villagers...even if we can only rescue one."
