Gurian was once an assistant to the affairs officer. He had strong work ability and rich work experience. While managing more than thirty people working in the mine, he could also teach Elizabeth, which made him exceptionally good.
It was also because Gulian was so outstanding that Yang Fei felt very uneasy.
A middle-aged man whose entire family had died, madly placed all his remaining bets on the teenage Elizabeth, and was willing to do anything. It was really scary...
...The one who is more uneasy than Yang Fei at this time is Ivan Wakagudo, Duke of Nan.
The Stone Castle has been the residence of Duke Nan for generations and has never been occupied in history. Therefore, many southern nobles flocked here after the beast tide. This place should be an absolutely safe place, but now...it doesn't seem to be very safe here.
.
Looking at the layers of variegated tents outside the city, as well as the various orcs as densely packed as ants, Duke Ivan's face became ashen as water. There were only 4,000 guards in the city, plus the miscellaneous personal guards of various nobles, there were at most 4,230.
With human combat power, it is too difficult to resist 30,000 orcs day and night.
Accompanied by Ronis, Ivan patrolled around. Every soldier was dirty, covered in blood, and extremely tired. They were fighting every day and every night. It was only a matter of time before they fell, but hope was not completely lost.
The Duke is not the only one with armed forces in the south. The Duke's territory is to the west, and the local governor Mogared has 7,000 mixed troops. The territory is to the east, and Baron Denis has 2,000 light cavalry. If these two armies join forces to come to the rescue
, Duke Ivan and the southern dignitaries may survive.
But he didn't know that the two troops had joined forces forty miles away from the stone castle, but they did not come to rescue him.
The two adults were eating game, drinking wine, and watching the dance of Mogared's maids in the camp.
"I'm still a little uneasy..." Danlix said with concern: "You said that you and I live next to the Duke, and we usually take care of him a lot. Now if something happens and we don't go to the rescue, I'm afraid it's not good.
"
Mogared immediately patted Denis on the shoulder and said calmly: "You should act within your ability. The four thousand foot soldiers I brought plus your two thousand light cavalry total only six thousand people. There are thirty thousand orcs besieging the stone castle.
There are so many that even a child can tell by counting his fingers that he can’t win, so why fly into the flames to perish?”
Danlish: "Although I know you are right..."
Mogaredao said quickly: "Don't worry~~ As long as the mage group in the center of the imperial capital arrives, we will counterattack with them to regain the lost territory and serve the country. But now is not the time."
Seeing that Danlishi's brows were still unabated, he persuaded again: "Old friend~! I have a relationship with the senior officials of the Imperial City every year. No one will say that we do nothing to save them. Instead, they will praise us greatly, because we are among the orcs.
We have preserved our effective forces in a full-scale invasion situation and laid the foundation for future counterattacks and victories."
Danlishi sighed: "...It's a pity for the Duke."
"That's his bad luck! Bad luck! Come on, come on, don't care about him, let's drink! Drink!"
Dan Lishi had no choice but to say: "In this case...it all depends on you!"
"Ha ha!"
After drinking for a while, their faces became even more rosy, but the guards disturbed them at this moment, saying that some soldiers were here to deliver orders.
The two looked at each other. They were both big men in the south. Who could use them at this juncture? Could it be that Duke Ivan broke out from the stone castle!?
Prince Ivan is sitting on a stone chair. The wrinkles on his forehead are deeper and his hair is grayer. His former grace and splendor are gone.
Death is not terrible. Death always accompanies life. This is a motto passed down from generation to generation in the Duke's family. I only hate the other nobles. Not everyone can be firm and unwavering in the face of despair.
Beginning on the fifteenth day of the siege, the nobles, who had suffered several mental breakdowns, began to indulge in indulgence. As time went by, it became more and more intense, and they even used relatively low-status maids and servants to vent their emotions... The Duke's eyes were tightly closed.
, those ones were too ugly, so different from the usual elegance and splendor that I really didn’t bother to talk about them. It’s just that they caused too much trouble, making Duke Ivan even more tired.
A dirty soldier suddenly rushed into the palace. "Report! The orcs are attacking again!"
Come on, come on... Prince Ivan's beard trembled and he stood up from his seat.
"What is to come will always come."
He strode out of the palace and climbed up to take command. He saw that only ten or five of the soldiers on the city were injured, and he couldn't help but feel depressed.
"Haha...it's just a dead ear!"
When I heard this, I became even more panicked... Sure enough, within a few moments, the orcs climbed onto the south wall, and the reserve team had already been exhausted. The situation in the east and west of the city was so dangerous that there was no time to care, and the city was about to be destroyed...
"Woo~~~~~~!!"
The Duke turned his head sharply to the north. If he heard correctly, this seemed to be the rally call of the "Titan Mercenary Regiment" cavalry.
"Woo~~~~~~!! Woo~~~~~~~!!" came two more sounds in succession.
Yes...it was the trumpet of the Titan mercenary group, but...why did the mercenaries come here? Are they here to save him?
"Du~~woo~~~~~!!"
Duke Ivan was shocked again. There was only one cavalry regiment that could make a "beep" sound before the horn trombone was blown. "The brigade of the White Owl Knights has arrived?"
I saw smoke slowly rising from the north, and figures in the smoke seemed to be slowly accelerating before charging.
Ivan didn't care anymore and jumped directly to the arrow stack to look north. He saw four large flags standing in the wedge-shaped cavalry formation. The farthest one was the most familiar, it was the noble flag of his neighbor Danlish. This time
Two thousand light cavalry came out in full force, and a thousand cavalry mixed with the Titan mercenary regiment were quite impressive.
The current one is the most famous White Owl Knights in the mainland. Each of the 1,500 knights are selected from thousands of elites. They have uniform silver-white uniforms. They should have held the top position in this formation.
But there was a motley army of about a thousand people mixed in among them, with a golden lion flag erected.
"...Where did this come from? How dare you keep pace with the White Owl Knights?"
There was chaos in the city.
The south gate of the stone castle has been broken, and the orcs who don't know this are shouting for food and women are rushing into the city crazily. Xing Jun can see it clearly from a distance, and he thinks that God is helping me. The enemy has no formation at all, so attack him at this time.
There are some similarities and differences between crossing and attacking.
"Take advantage of the enemy's weakness!! Follow me and charge——!!!"
One person rushed forward and the whole team charged forward, and the five or six thousand riders quickly turned into a torrent and plunged directly into the dense area of orcs.
In fact, the orcs did not have formations such as phalanx, crane wings, etc. The nearly 10,000 orcs crowded outside the city were like a mob, and Xing's army collapsed as soon as they charged.
Ivan didn't care what was going on inside the city. He stood on the arrow stack and looked excitedly and tremblingly at the fighting outside the city. He saw a sturdy young man in black armor who stood out.
Whenever a wolf pack appears, there must be a wolf. Wherever the wolf goes, the pack of wolves behind him will follow. This young man in black armor is outstanding in martial arts. His horse speed does not slow down wherever he goes, and no orcs can stop him. He has led the way in a moment.
The crowd broke through the formation and cut the orc army into two.
He led the knights back and went to fight in crowded places. The orcs could not stand the strength and began to collapse.
"Master..." A layman is looking at the excitement, and an expert is looking at the door. How strong is this young man to be able to move unimpeded among tens of millions of orcs? He secretly thinks that none of his generals can do it in a crowd of people, let alone a crowd of orcs.
Inside.
"I didn't expect that the human race would have such a handsome man again. It's really a blessing from the gods..."
They quickly pulled him off the arrow stack.
"The orcs in the city are attacking. Now that the siege outside the city has been lifted, sir, please get out of the city quickly!"
"Nonsense! Get my sharp sword. This is my city, and I can't lose to young people. Follow me and drive the orcs out!!"
