The news that the Pants and Lis besieged Petersburg soon reached King Monty.
This time the situation may be more serious than before, with a national crisis at the forefront. The Pope and the King immediately issued a new decree and announced that the country would be adjusted to a first-level alert state.
The whole country is preparing for war and all the people are participating in the war!
This means that from now on, the knights of the five major cities will automatically form a coalition, with Lord Gladstone as the commander-in-chief and in charge of the national military power.
The knights of the Monty Kingdom will no longer take orders from their own city lord, but will be unified under the command of Gladstone.
This is a rule that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It does not require approval or notification. It will automatically take effect after the war breaks out. Even the king and the pope have no right to change it.
The excess weapons in the major cities are also open to the outside world, and civilians and slaves are allowed to participate in the battle when necessary.
Although the smoke was rising all around, there was still a scene of singing and dancing in the Star City. Carol hugged him and was busy drinking and having fun, completely ignoring the situation outside.
Star City is different from the other four main cities. It is surrounded by mountains on two sides and has a cliff on the front. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It has the tendency of one man blocking the barrier and ten thousand others unable to open it.
Several nearby main peaks are equipped with a large number of sentries and forts, which are firmly in Carroll's hands.
Even if the war between the two tribes begins in full force, Carol can still rely on natural dangers to stand firm and wait for reinforcements to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Even an army of hundreds of thousands of orcs will have difficulty breaking through the layers of defense of Star City.
"Beauty, don't let me catch you. I want you to look good if I catch you."
Carol blindfolded herself and played games with a group of dancers.
"City Lord, please stop making trouble, let's have a drink." The dancer lay in Carol's arms, picked up the wine glass, and fed him a drink.
While they were having fun, a group of heavily armed knights kicked open the door, forced their way in, and drove all the dancers out of the palace.
"Milo, you dare to disturb my pleasure?" Carol took off his blindfold and stared at Milo with some displeasure.
Milo is the chief defender of Star City and manages the knights in the city. His status is second only to Carol.
"The city lord, the king and the pope have issued decrees declaring that the country has entered a state of first-level alert..."
"None of my business! Let them fight. We don't need to stir up this muddy water, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits of the fishermen. Do you understand?" Before Milo could finish his words, he was interrupted by Carol.
.
The matter has nothing to do with him and is high priority. Fighting is a waste of people and money. Carroll is not willing to lose all the wealth he has accumulated for many years.
"Lord Carroll, please don't forget that once the war starts, all the knights in the city will automatically be managed by Gladstone.
I just received the order. Commander Gladstone ordered our Star City to immediately send 20,000 knights to build a defense line at the border of the Hengduan Mountains and the plains to cut off the communication between the orcs."
Milo held the sword and walked slowly towards Carroll, "Please the city lord give me the military power, so that I can complete the order of Commander Gladstone."
"Why? Why should the knights I trained so hard be led by Gladstone?" Carroll was obviously reluctant.
Although Carroll is afraid of Gladstone, that doesn't mean he has to obey him.
What's more, Petersburg is now unable to protect itself. How can Gladstone still have the energy to command the coalition forces?
"Military power is just a status symbol. Even if you don't hand it over, the Knights of Star City are willing to obey Commander Gladstone. War is coming, and Monty's Kingdom is in danger. Is there a perfect egg under the nest? Please
The city lord must put the overall situation first."
After leaving these words, General Milo left calmly and led 20,000 trusted knights straight to the outside of the city, hoping to build a defense line according to Gladstone's order.
But what he didn't expect was that the commanding heights bordering the Hengduan Mountains and the coastal plain had long been occupied by the Frost Witch Greenland.
Milo missed a beat and was remotely consumed by the orc arrow array. On his way back, he encountered the orc army led by Chen Feng. He lost many troops and was forced to retreat to Star City.
"City Lord, please open the city gate." Milo shouted from the city, but Carroll was indifferent.
"Milo, Gladstone asked you to go to the Hengduan Mountains to build a defense line, and now you come back? How come there are only so few of the 20,000 knights left? This city lord now suspects that you have temporarily rebelled against the enemy, and asked your knights to put down their weapons and be good.
Be interrogated outside the city gate."
"Lord Carol, I will tell you this later. The Orc Legion is about to launch a general attack. They have already penetrated into the territory of Star City and have fought with their subordinates. Several sentries on the main peak nearby may have already
Unplugged secretly."
If we don’t make preparations, the entire Star City will be in danger!”
Milo explained, "Even if you want to punish me, I am willing to bear it alone. Please let my knights enter the city and resist the orc attack with you."
"General Milo, you are being alarmist. Our Star City is surrounded by mountains on two sides and is supported by natural dangers. Behind it is the main city of Monty. I'm sorry that the orcs will not dare to attack easily."
As soon as Carol finished speaking, the orc army appeared in sight.
It was so densely packed that you couldn’t see the head or tail, and it looked like the main force of the orcs.
"It's too late, open the city gate quickly!"
"You can't open it, seal the city gate, and don't let the orcs enter the city." Carol was frightened and trembling all over, "Didn't it mean that the main army of orcs was in Petersburg to deal with Gladstone? How could they get to my star city?
Already?"
"Brothers, follow me to meet the enemy and fight to the end!"
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Milo drew his sword and led more than ten thousand remaining soldiers to attack the orc formation without hesitation.
The sound of fighting resounded throughout the world!
But in just half a stick of incense, all 20,000 knights died outside the Star City.
The difference in hard power between the two sides was too great. The knight's sword could not pierce the armor of the orc, but the orc's weapon could easily smash the knight into pieces.
Moreover, the wind arrows imitated by the orcs, both in range and power, far exceed the golden feather arrows equipped by the knights.
With just one round of wind arrow coverage, the knights were almost completely wiped out and their combat effectiveness was instantly lost.
"This... how is this possible? Hurry up and ask for help from Monty King City!" Carol paced back and forth on the city tower, at a loss. He had never thought that the orcs could be so powerful?
After Chen Feng besieged Star City, he only besieged but did not attack. He used wind arrows to intimidate Carol every day.
The wind arrows of the Pants Industry Clan can easily pierce the buildings in the city and cause damage to the people inside. Carol was so frightened that he hid in the hole all day, fearing that he would be shot by random arrows if his head was exposed.
Greenland is responsible for cutting off the reinforcements from Sun Flame Tower and ensuring that Star City is isolated and helpless.
"Paddle every day, survive for two months, get the antidote and leave." Chen Feng didn't want to kill the human race, and the arrow array also shot randomly.
He told the Tatar leader that the Star City was protected by natural dangers and the losses from a storming attack would be too great, so the only option was to besiege it and wait until it ran out of ammunition and food before sending heavy troops to capture it in one fell swoop.
