A patrol of thirty people encountered a group of guards who were walking in a hurry. Although they looked like city defense troops from the equipment, they were wrapped in ponchos even though it was not raining.
trained army.
"Do it!"
Without any hesitation, this mysterious team immediately attacked the patrol who was still trying to continue questioning.
A nimble and swift figure rushed into the enemy team first, punching the enemy like a hungry tiger.
This tiger woman is too impatient! The vanguard wolf-headed man didn't even come!
The young man smiled bitterly and immediately rushed into the enemy formation along with the surrounding orc warriors.
The patrolling guards who originally had a certain fighting capacity were like lambs to be slaughtered in the hands of these orc warriors.
The rough-skinned and fleshy pig-headed warriors ran rampant in the enemy formation with large shields. The agile wolf-headed warriors followed closely behind, swinging their maces to quickly hit the fallen enemies. The tall and fierce orc warriors rushed in.
The enemy's double swords slashed two people without any lull, and the Khajiit warriors, who are said to have the strongest physical skills, were able to defeat spears and daggers with just their fists and kicks. At this time, they put on sophisticated steel armor and took fine steel weapons.
After the weapon, it becomes even more powerful.
The five lizardman archers holding longbows at the rear of the team did not set up their bows at all, because in the one-sided melee in front of them, there was no need to waste arrows.
In addition, half of the orc warriors only went to block the guards' retreat and did not directly join the battlefield. It can be said that these guards were in bad luck today.
The group of orc warriors they encountered were fifty of the most elite warriors selected from all the orc gladiators, including various gladiator leaders. They had experienced hundreds of battles and were very good at fighting.
The relationship between them being both enemies and friends in the big battlefield makes them understand each other's fighting methods, and they can become a formidable team without too much training.
Moreover, the orc warriors are the type who will execute orders directly and are very easy to adjust, so the young man chose them for the most important and possibly the most dangerous part of this plan.
"Drink!"
"Come and accept your fate!"
The young man who rushed into the enemy camp with the orcs did not hesitate at all when facing the attack of the two guards. He lowered his head to avoid the two scimitars, and then thrust the two daggers in his hands through the gaps in the armor at their waists.
"Ugh!"
The moment the two sides crossed each other, the two guards' abdomens were cut open. They fell to the ground and rolled over, clutching the wounds on their stomachs. It was obvious that they had lost their fighting strength.
The young man ignored them and turned his sights in the direction of Bai Feng. The female tiger took the lead in charging into the enemy formation. The young man was a little worried about Bai Feng's situation.
As a result, she found that there were several guards scattered around Bai Feng's feet. All the guards in front of her, whether they wanted to fight or escape, were not her enemies.
"It looks like there's not a single one left."
Within a moment, there was no one left standing in the patrol.
The young man didn't have much chance to take action. These orc warriors were too strong, and the seemingly even encounter was turned into a crushing match by them.
Bai Feng shook off the flesh and blood from the steel-thorned tiger and said with some disappointment:
"So weak. I thought these city defense troops would be a bit powerful."
The orc warriors also laughed and said: "Haha, they are all weak human soldiers. I feel that there is no need to bother us at all. We can kill them by ourselves."
"You must stay vigilant and don't be careless. There are still some powerful characters in the city defense army. These are just minions."
The young man saw that there seemed to be no damage to the orcs, and he was very happy. As expected, the orc infantry is the pinnacle of infantry in the world. When a normal army encounters a mixed force of orcs and comes into close combat, it has little power to resist.
"Okay, I understand! Let's go quickly!"
Bai Feng urged, she couldn't wait for this day for a long time. On the one hand, she was worried about Heisha's condition, and on the other hand, she was eager for the battle itself.
Also holding the same idea are the major orc leaders. They have been suppressed in Iron Feather City for too long and have long wanted to beat up these city defense troops.
"Speaking of which, little boss, how do you know the military formation of our Shaka Empire?"
On the way, the orc leader asked the young man. The young man is the actual leader of this operation. He does everything himself. The orcs have already recognized it. However, because the young man is not old, calling him "boss" makes the orc leader feel awkward, so
Just call him "Little Boss".
Of course, the young man himself felt even more awkward.
"I have fought against your orc regular army in the Bardafenr Legion, so I am familiar with your tactics and arms, and have also studied some of your army formations."
The young man told his past without any secret. The orc warriors around him were now his allies, so there was no need to be secretive.
"Haha! It's interesting. You are a 'Badafenle' at such a young age? And you have also fought against our people? That's amazing!"
As expected, when the strong orcs and other orcs heard about the young man's past, they did not harbor any ill will towards the young man, but instead showed admiration for him.
The orcs admire the strong and have no objection to war. In their view, it is normal to kill people in battle. It is not the enemy's fault that they fail to defeat, but that their own side is too weak.
Even if orcs from opposing tribes meet outside of war, they might even go out for a drink together if they can have a good conversation.
"Uh, by the way, how did you become slaves?"
The young man was quite curious as to how these powerful orcs came to this city to serve as slave fighters.
The leader of the strong orcs said: "I was captured and sent here during a fight with the Rock Tribe. I was accidentally knocked unconscious."
The pig-headed leader holding a large shield said slowly: "I...I ran out of food...I left with a group of brothers who can eat...and then came...here."
"My side is..."
...
Although the reasons for the orcs to come to Iron Feather City are various, they are almost all inseparable from one word - "food".
The young man heard them talk about the widespread famine in the orc territory. The orcs were short of food, the major tribes were fighting against each other, and some orcs had left their hometowns to escape the famine.
The orcs eat a lot and have a strong reproductive capacity, which leads to serious population and food problems.
This time, years of famine have caused the orcs to be unable to feed their own children. In order to solve this problem, the orcs have adopted the simplest and crudest method, which is to launch wars and consume a large number of young adults with the largest appetites to alleviate the food crisis.
The constant wars not only solved the population and food problems, but also suppressed the increasingly obvious social conflicts among the orcs.
Maybe the top brass of the orcs themselves don't really want war, but war is the easiest way to solve the problem they think of.
From this point of view, it may not be a good choice for the slaves to evacuate to the chaotic orc territory, but is there a better choice than this right now?
The young man sighed in his heart. Even if he tried his best, his current power still left him with few choices.
"We're here."
When the team passed through hidden street intersections and could see the towering city wall and the many guards on the city wall, the young man signaled the team to pause.
Because next, the most difficult battle in the plan is about to begin!
"Report on the situation over there..."
Feng Ze's voice came from the sound transmission stone in Wu Gang's hand, and his suppressed anger could be clearly felt from his deep tone.
"Our people have started searching the whole city for those who are causing damage everywhere. Now we have caught some of them, but there are more rioters setting fire and destroying all over the city."
"Have their identities been figured out? Who is the mastermind?"
"The batch we have captured are all slaves in our city. As for who the mastermind is, it is still unclear."
After that, Wu Gang looked back at the slaves behind him who were tied to the wooden frame. These slaves had been bruised and bruised by torture. The executioners were shouting and cursing while whipping them with nine-section whips.
"We are interrogating here and it will take some time to get the results."
"What's the purpose? Have you figured out their purpose?"
"No, the locations they attacked have nothing in common."
Wu Gang looked at the patrol teams running continuously on the streets. It was clear that a citywide search had been launched, but very few suspicious persons had been captured.
"Not only did they attack the military camp, but the checkpoints also set fire to ordinary houses, which was simply vandalism. Their people were also causing trouble in the southeast, northwest and northwest. I have issued a curfew here, but it doesn't seem to have much effect. They are too concerned about the environment in the city.
If we are too familiar with them, when our people follow the sound and surround them, their people have often slipped away."
Wu Gang said angrily: "It's hard to imagine which force did this. When I find out, I will have to skin and remove the bones of that thing."
"You have been fooled. It was obviously the slaves themselves who caused this."
On the observation deck of Iron Helm Castle, Feng Ze leaned his cane against the armrest, holding the sound transmission stone in one hand and the clairvoyant eye in the other, looking at the city that had been ignited by a spark of fire.
"The reason why they are wreaking havoc all over the city and you can't catch them is because the number of each team is very small, and they are probably wearing our clothes and can easily sneak into our team at night.
.”
"this?!"
Wu Gang was shocked, he really didn't expect this.
Feng Ze looked at the flames still rising everywhere in the city, sneered and said, "Have you ever heard of the 'trick'?"
"I've heard of it, it's just some dirty tricks."
"However, the person who commands these slaves is playing a 'trick'. The places he points to are all insignificant pretense, and the real intention is always hidden in the dark."
Feng Ze put away his clairvoyance, and his mind was interpreting that person's thoughts.
Wu Gang hesitated for a while and said, "Could it be that they actually want to seize the city?"
"Of course those slaves don't have the guts to attack the city. They know their own weight. They just want to run! They attack just to escape!"
Feng Ze's voice became more and more angry, and he knew that the other party's plan was probably more than half successful at this time.
"He used a small number of manpower to wreak havoc in the city, and led you around like dogs on a leash. You are really used to it! Don't you even realize that you are being played?!"
"But how could those slaves understand this? Is there someone working with them inside and outside?"
Wu Gang still couldn't believe that those usually docile lambs suddenly learned to bite on their own.
"Indeed, it is impossible for ordinary slaves to understand this. But have you forgotten that there is one among them?"
"Does it mean that he has...?"
Let countless lambs jump over the fence.
Wu Gang thought about it, there was indeed a person who had done this kind of thing.
What that man did is still an unsurpassable miracle, and he himself has even followed this miracle. If this is true, then nothing that happens now is surprising.
"Yes, it seems that the fruits we planted have matured."
Feng Ze was not angry but smiling at this time, his voice was trembling with excitement.
"If it's really him, he won't be hiding in the back. He must be hiding in their main team."
"Um?"
"Well!"
A striking light group rose in the northern sky, and Wu Gang and Feng Ze, who were on either side, looked in that direction almost at the same time.
"The north gate was attacked just now. If his purpose was to escape, then he should be there."
"Go and bring him here, no matter what method you use."
"clear."
After Wu Gang answered, Feng Ze turned off the loudspeaker Fang Shi. He turned to the silent man in black robe behind him and said:
"Although Wu Gang usually handles things safely, you'd better go."
"..."
The man in black robe said nothing, and in response his figure suddenly disappeared in the air like a cloud of smoke.
"Everyone gather!"
Wu Gang put the sound transmission square stone back into the storage bag, then waved his hand and ordered the nearby "Xiao" on standby to assemble behind him.
Seeing that Wu Gang was about to leave, an executioner on the execution platform asked: "Lord Commander, what should I do with these slaves? Do I want to continue to torture them?"
"If you don't tell me, I will forget it."
Wu Gang smiled and looked back at the dying slaves.
"Give them a good time!"
There was no wave on Wu Gang's face as he issued the order. He led the group of black-armored warriors to the North City Gate without looking back.
"yes!"
The executioners on the stage pulled out the thin swords from their waists and pierced the sharp blades into the hearts of these slaves skillfully and quickly.
The guards at the North City Gate are undergoing a terrifying attack they have never seen before.
After using camouflage to get as close as possible to the enemy position, they immediately attacked before the guards took action, but this time it was not as easy as before.
The archers of the city defense army on the city wall had already set up their crossbows when they noticed this unfamiliar team approaching. When the orcs attacked, these archers immediately shot down a shower of arrows, but they were already rough-skinned.
The thick-bodied orcs were now all covered with armor. Although some people were injured by this rain of arrows, none of them lost their combat effectiveness.
"Drink!!"
As the vanguard, the wolf-headed men have torn apart the defensive formation set up with steel wire barricades under the city wall. The orcs and tiger-men, who are the backbone of the fighting force, immediately rushed in through this gap, while the slower-moving pig-headed shield soldiers protected the rear.
The lizardman crossbowmen and lizardman spearmen advanced towards the enemy formation.
The Iron Feather City guards behind the fortifications intended to form a defensive network with spears and square shields. However, the wolf-headed men who could outrun horses in short runs had already invaded before the formation was formed. The guards could only fight back to face the orcs rushing in front of them.
warrior.
However, in this way, their formation was quickly cut into small pieces by the orcs that could not respond to each other. They were destroyed one by one like small cake cups on a large dinner plate.
The city defense forces, who were considered experienced in combat, had little room to fight back against these fierce orc warriors. Since the team that first came into contact with them had been completely defeated, they could only abandon their positions on the ground and retreat up the stairs of the city wall.
.
At the same time, the defenders at the top of the city fired signal arrows into the air to call for help from nearby troops.
Since the city gate drawbridge has been raised, seizing the ground position is just the beginning. They must open the city gate before enemy reinforcements completely block the place.
The young man shouted: "The gate mechanism is up there, let's attack it!"
"roar!"
The orcs let out a deafening war cry, clutching their blood-stained weapons and rushing towards the city wall.
However, the space on the stairs leading up to the city wall was narrow, and neither the orcs nor the guards could spread out their formations. After the two armies came into contact, only a few warriors in the front row were fighting, and the large troops in the back row could only advance slowly following the footsteps of the front row.
The guards took the opportunity to deploy a gun-and-shield defense formation, using the length of their weapons to slow down the progress of the orcs and avoid close combat with these fierce orc warriors.
"Get out of the way!"
So the leaders of various tribes, including Bai Feng, took the lead and replaced the tired orc warriors in the front row to fight directly with these guards.
"Uh-huh!!"
Bai Feng grabbed the spear that was thrust towards him, and dragged a guard with his gun into the middle of the orc warriors behind him. The guard only had time to let out a shrill scream before he was swallowed up by the light of the sword.
The leader of the strong orcs next to him swung a big steel hammer and threw it at the guard in front of him. The guard set up his shield and tried to hold it. The hammer directly made a big groove in the shield, and he himself also
He was hit so hard that he vomited blood.
The pig-headed man leader was not to be outdone at all. He directly raised his big shield and pushed forward with his strong body, knocking the guards in the front row. The wolf-headed man leader also immediately took the opportunity to attack the fallen guards and cut off their arms.
leg......
In this way, the four strong orcs defeated the guards in the front row with their overwhelming strength. The guards in the back row were also frightened when they saw the miserable situation in the front row. Seeing that the orcs were about to rush in front of them, they no longer maintained their formation and directly
Run backwards.
When the orcs were about to follow up immediately, several barrels suddenly rolled down from the top of the stairs.
"withdraw!"
The orc leaders and other orc warriors who felt something was wrong took a few steps back, while the pig-headed leader led the other pig-headed men to stand in the front row and set up shields, forming a shield wall to block the barrels.
But most of the barrels were broken when they rolled down the stone steps, and the black liquid in the barrels spread all over the floor.
"It's heavy oil! They're going to set fire to it!"
The young man under the city wall immediately saw the opponent's plan. As expected, several guards threw down their torches. The fire ignited the oil pool and ignited a sea of fire on the steps in front of the team.
Then the archers on the city wall began to shoot arrows at the orcs below who were blocked by the sea of fire. Rows of arrows fell from above their heads. The shield wall composed of pig-headed men could not completely block everyone. The orc warriors behind were already wounded.
After counting arrows, he fell to the ground unwillingly.
The young man holding a military crossbow and the lizard man archers fired arrows together to fight back. However, the opponent was standing on a high ground and was naturally at a disadvantage by attacking low and high. Even if the young man and other lizard men shot down several people, the opponent would immediately send people to fill in.
The attack effect is also far stronger than them.
The way forward has been blocked by a sea of fire, and remaining where you are will only become a target for the opponent's archers.
When the boy wanted the orcs above to withdraw, the orcs made an unexpected move.
"Tsk! Charge!!"
Seeing that this attack was about to fail, Bai Feng suddenly roared and rushed over when the fire in front was slightly weaker. Seeing this, the other orc leaders also gritted their teeth and rushed into the sea of fire, while the orc warriors saw that the leaders had already rushed forward.
They rushed forward, roaring and rushing forward.
"He, they are coming!"
The guards on the city wall saw these orc warriors with their whole bodies on fire rushing towards them like a purgatory Shura. They suddenly trembled and their morale was greatly reduced. They only made a little resistance and then fled back. The noncommissioned officers in charge could not stop them.
He was just pushed to the ground by the deserters, and when he got up cursing, he bumped into the blade of a steel knife.
The fleeing guards wanted to escape to the next line of defense, but the orcs who no longer cared about their formation moved faster, and most of these deserters with their backs exposed became souls killed by the sword.
The city gate mechanism is right in front of you, and the guards' last line of defense composed of arrow towers and sandbags is obviously no longer an obstacle when facing the orc warriors whose morale has reached its peak.
"Come on!"
Victory is right in front of us. By completely seizing the city head and opening the city gate, this difficult battle will come to an end.
The archers on the arrow tower fired showers of arrows, slowing down the progress of the orcs.
However, the young man and the lizard man archers had already followed the orc warriors and rushed up the city wall. The young man set up his crossbow in a hidden place and shot the archers on the arrow towers on both sides with astonishing accuracy.
Soon the archers on these arrow towers fell down one after another. The one thing they had in common was that they all had a crossbow arrow stuck in their head.
Losing the cover of the arrow tower and being attacked by the lizardman archers, the guards huddled behind the sandbags did not even dare to show their heads. The orc warriors successfully climbed over the obstacles and engaged the guards in hand-to-hand combat. After a bloody hand-to-hand battle,
Bathed in blood, the orc warriors won the final victory.
But it was too late to celebrate now. Rows of torches appeared on the streets not far from the city wall, and reinforcements from the city defense army were about to arrive.
Those torches that looked like stars in the night sky made the dark streets in the distance suddenly look like daylight. The number of enemy reinforcements should be more than ten times that of our own. It is very likely that the main force of the nearby city defense forces has already arrived here.
Facing this number of enemies, no matter how brave and fearless these orc warriors are, it will be of no avail.
Now they must open the city gate immediately, otherwise they will surely die if they are surrounded.
Just when the wolf-headed leader and several soldiers rushed to the machine winch and wanted to lower the suspension bridge, suddenly a white light cut through the night and stabbed them.
"Ugh!!"
The wolf-headed man leader and the wolf-headed warriors next to him released the winch almost at the same time. This was not because they wanted to do this, but because their limbs had been paralyzed by severe pain.
Except for the wolf-headed leader who could barely stand up after falling to the ground, the other weaker wolf-headed warriors all fell to the ground unconscious.
Just when the other orc warriors rushed towards the winch and wanted to continue using the mechanism, the white light appeared again, and appeared several times in succession. Those who were hit were immediately knocked unconscious, and those who were lucky enough to avoid it, the ground in front of them was already scorched black.
.
lightning?
The boy looked at the thing that attacked the orcs in disbelief.
Yes, that white light just now was lightning.
Moreover, these lightnings came from the air not far from the city wall. The young man saw the strange figure through the moonlight, a mysterious man wearing a bloated black robe, floating in the air like a ghost, and his hands kept releasing waves.
