It was a dark night, and there were obviously not many dark clouds in the sky, but not many stars could be seen.
Huangsha City, with countless torches on the city wall, was now on alert. The orcs guarding the city wall saw shadows in the distance, and something was taking advantage of the night to move.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Hurry! Go and notify Lord Ganxie!!"
More and more orc soldiers appeared on the city wall. After a while, a particularly tall orc appeared on the city wall. It was Gan Xie, the demon general stationed in Huangsha City.
"Lord Ganxie! A shadow of a suspected enemy appears in the west!"
The subordinate said anxiously.
The tall Gan Xie stood on the city wall. He was a bit taller than the other orcs. He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.
Boom~
A sound similar to the firing of cannonballs came from afar, and all the soldiers stationed on the city wall became alert. They all raised their heads, and something seemed to draw an arc in the hazy sky and leap over their heads.
"Long range attack?"
Gan Xie was stunned for a moment, and the orcs around him had the same reaction.
"Hahaha!!"
"Are these guys stupid?"
"Could it be Zeba's army again?"
"Hahaha!"
The loud laughter of the orcs came from the city wall, and Gan Xie also laughed, because the defense of Huangsha City is no weaker than that of the human city. How could this firepower break through their defense at such a long distance? This is simply too much.
At first glance, every family can tell that they are stupid young men who have never fought in a war.
However, the army that came from the west today made Gan Xie a little concerned, and he felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart. Zeba, although he was a thorn in Gan Xie's side, he had to admit that he was a general who was good at leading troops.
It has won many battles, and among the demon generals under Verdecai, it is the best at using strategies. It shouldn't do such meaningless things. Could it be that it has another intention?
"This may be harassment. Kids, don't get too excited. Those who should sleep should sleep, and those who should work should work!" Gan Xie suddenly said. Suddenly, the laughter around him stopped, and the orcs looked at this terrible person.
's superior.
"Yes! Sir!"
Qianxie did not stay long on the city wall, and soon returned to its palace. Perhaps because it was too concerned about certain things, it did not return to its dormitory, but came to the dark and damp dungeon.
The dungeon has a fishy smell mixed with blood and iron, and the prisoners' groans of pain can be heard here/
The orc soldiers guarding the door of the dungeon were dozing off. Suddenly they heard footsteps and slowly opened their eyes. When they saw the orcs in front of them, the two soldiers showed a look of fear.
"Lord Ganxie!! You! You..."
"Is it willing to speak?"
Gan Xie did not punish these two orcs.
"That... not yet, that guy is very tough."
One of the orc soldiers said nervously. The two of them pressed their hands tightly against their bodies, hunched their shoulders and lowered their heads, for fear that the other would eat them.
Gan Xie didn't say anything, he entered the dungeon directly.
In the cell in the deepest corner, a long-tusked orc with bruises all over his body was tied up with iron chains, and his whole body was hung in the air. With a squeaking sound, it slowly opened its tired eyes.
A figure that gave it new fear appeared in front of it.
"Kill, kill me."
These words came out of Blue's mouth, and Ganxie smiled sarcastically.
"What? You can't stand it at this level?"
"I... one day... will kill, kill you."
Bu Lu glared at Qian Xie with resentful eyes, but the other party didn't care. He moved the small stool next to him and set it down, looking at Bu Lu with a half-smile.
"Nice look. I don't hate a guy like you. It's just a pity that you took the wrong path and followed the wrong person."
"Bah, it's better than being Verdecai's... lackey!"
Gan Xie laughed and said, "Really? Colluding with foreigners to invade us orcs, is that so glorious?"
Hearing this, Blue's eyes widened a little.
"Oh! This expression, haha, I am indeed kept in the dark. I wonder why Zeba would let an inexperienced boy like you take the lead."
Qian Xie shook his head and said. The way it looked in the middle of speaking made Blue very angry.
"What did you say! Master Zeba, Master Zeba..."
"What do you know? By the way, do you know Zeba? Don't you wonder why, as a demon general, he would betray the Beastman King to help you who are struggling to death? Do you really think that with people like you, you can really defeat him?
Can you stand up to Lord Wiltikai?"
Qian Xie raised his hand and tapped his temple with his right index finger.
"Boy, think about it here more often, it won't do you any harm."
"What do you know!! The old beast emperor is the orthodox orc! Wiltika is just a power grabber! He is destroying the orcs! You are the one who doesn't understand!"
Blue suddenly cursed like crazy, and Ganxie chuckled.
"Orthodox orcs? You believe this excuse. Look, what is the status of our orcs now? We stand shoulder to shoulder with dragons and have our feet on humans! Orthodox orcs? Are you the old guy who was scared to death by humans? Bah!!"
Gan Xie stood up, and the whole cell seemed to be occupied by it, giving Bru a sense of oppression.
"Orcs only obey the strong. You don't even understand this, and you still tell me that there is no orthodoxy among orcs! Only the strong!"
It shouted towards Blue.
Blue said nothing.
"Let me tell you, boy, Zeba has taken refuge with foreigners and you have been taken advantage of. Think about where your food comes from. Is it sent to you by Zeba?" Qian Xie asked, but Bru didn't speak.
His face was tense, and he kept staring at the other person with unyielding eyes.
"It's useless not to speak. I have seen it and know what it is doing. It's just that you fools are kept in the dark. I have long wondered why Zeba can get so much food. It turns out that it has betrayed the orcs a long time ago.
!They are the scum of the orcs.”
"Shut up! I won't allow you to insult Mr. Zeba!"
Suddenly the chains jingled, and Blue showed a ferocious expression, struggling, and red blood continued to flow out of the wounds on his body.
"Hey! You have a big temper. What I said is the truth. I have seen the foreign armies. The reason why they can come here easily is all your 'credit'."
"Shut up! Zeba is not the kind of person you think. He is a reinforcement, in order to defeat your lackey allies!" Blue yelled.
Ganxie's eyes changed, but the smile on his face did not disappear. He pretended that it didn't matter and continued: "Allies? Ha, it sounds really nice. That's what Zeba told you. I guess you haven't seen it.
But, I heard all this so-called allies from Zeba, right?"
"So what, we are not fools! Master Bu Keluo has already made plans. As long as we capture this city, we no longer need any allies! Even if Zeba is a spy, we can..."
Halfway through his words, Blue suddenly closed his mouth.
"You try to trick me again!"
It said after reacting.
Gan Xie's mouth slightly curved and he said: "Trying to trick you? You're overthinking, kid. You don't know anything. You just think you are a smart fool. Let me tell you, if this place falls, Huangsha City will not be yours! And!
He is the main messenger behind Zeba, you people are just pitiful cannon fodder."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the cell.
"But that kind of thing won't happen. I will kill everyone together with Zeba."
Gan Xie showed a terrifying smile and left the cell, leaving behind a self-doubting Bru.
As soon as it left the dungeon, it said to the soldiers guarding the door: "Send someone to inform other city-state clans that there is a foreign invasion, and they must be strictly guarded."
"yes!"
"By the way, don't forget to write about Zeba's betrayal."
"yes!!"
Just as the soldier stepped out with his front foot, another soldier came with his back foot.
"Lord Ganxie! We seem to have been attacked by the enemy."
Hearing this, Gan Xie was confused.
"What's going on?"
"There's been some strange rain in the city. We, we suspect it's an enemy attack."
The soldier hesitated and said.
"Idiot! I don't know whether it's an attack or not, so what's the use of you!"
Gan Xie cursed loudly, and then strode out. As soon as he walked out of the door, he suddenly felt something cool falling on his face. It was sticky, as if it was not ordinary rain.
"Master Ganxie!"
The surrounding orc soldiers gathered around.
"Calm down! What are you afraid of! The barrier can block all attacks. This is probably the enemy's way of forcing us out. Don't worry about it!"
Gan Xie shouted.
"yes!!"
At this time, outside the city.
The Queen Mother yawned loudly and came to the side of the Demon King.
"Is this kind of attack really useful? Wouldn't it be much easier to attack directly?"
boom!!
The catapult made a loud noise, and the devil shook his head.
"In that case, the city will be riddled with holes and we won't have time to repair the city."
He turned around and looked at the rows of catapults.
"Don't worry, you will see the results in four or five days."
boom!
The catapult made a loud noise again, and the big wooden barrel was thrown out. It flew a long distance, and finally landed in the sky above the distant city. All the transparent walls blocked it. The wood shattered instantly, and the contents inside flew out, like
Water falls into the city like water.
…
The next day, the devil appeared above the horizon with his army.
"It's those alien armies! Defending the south gate!"
"The orc army appears at the north gate!"
"Is it a friendly force?"
"No! It's Zeba's army!"
"Quick! Increase the manpower at the south gate!"
The orcs in the city reacted very quickly and mobilized their troops in an orderly manner. Gan Xie sat on the wolf chair with his eyes closed and meditated. However, the two armies of Demon King and Zeba only appeared for a while and patrolled for a while like a group walk.
Disappeared from the sight of the orcs.
What the hell are these people doing?
Gan Xie closed his eyes tightly.
In the afternoon, the two armies appeared again.
"Enemy! This time it's the east!"
"Quick! Reinforcements!"
"The alien army from the west!"
"Reinforcements from the west!"
The orcs still responded quickly.
The dusk sun shone in the hall, and Qian Xie opened his eyes with a confused look.
Could it be that Zeba wants to launch a surprise attack to attack weakly defended areas?
That's too stupid. Is Zeba such a stupid guy?
Suddenly, Gan Xie frowned.
"Someone is coming!"
"Master Ganxie!"
"Have you received letters from other clans?"
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen any hawks today." His subordinate replied.
Gan Xie touched his chin and frowned.
Has our information been blocked? Want to fight a war of attrition?
The food reserves in the city can last for a month, but Gan Xie doesn't think they can roam around in the orc king's territory for a month.
"Lord Ganxie, why don't we attack?"
The subordinate finally couldn't help but ask.
Gan Xie showed an unhappy expression.
"You want to say I'm weak?"
"No, no, no! Lord Ganxie, I definitely didn't mean this!"
Gan Xie stood up directly, grabbed the orc's neck with one hand, and lifted him up.
"Then what do you mean!?"
"I...I..."
The orc soldier struggled for a moment, and then his hands dropped weakly. Only then did Gan Xie realize that he had used too much force and strangled him to death.
It let go of its hand, and the orc soldier's neck had already changed its shape.
Gan Xie gritted his teeth and realized that he was so upset now and couldn't calm down in his heart.
Why is this happening?
Gan Xie took a deep breath.
This is probably because I can't guess what the opponent is doing, and the opponent is still that damn Zeba!
On the third day, the situation changed a little.
"Master Ganxie!"
The soldiers hurried in.
"The enemy is attacking?"
Gan Xie instantly lifted his spirits.
"Sir, the enemy is still not moving, but there is a situation at the granary."
The soldier said with sweat on his face.
granary?
Gan Xie showed a surprised expression. Could it be that the enemy's spies had already sneaked into the city?
"What happened to the granary? Was it damaged? Was it burned? Or was it poisoned?"
"No, sir, there is no damage to the granary, but the food inside has been significantly reduced."
Hearing this, Qian Xie couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and rushed out as fast as flying.
There are sixteen round-hat-shaped stone buildings in Huangsha City Granary, arranged in four rows. Each granary is independent. Even if one of the granaries catches fire, it will not affect the other granaries.
I thought that there would be no accidents in the heavily guarded granary, but...
Qian Xie came to the sixteen granaries, and the guards all showed panic expressions.
"Sir, you came just in time, something is wrong!"
The manager stationed at the granary quickly stepped forward.
"Get out of the way!"
Gan Xie pushed it away, walked to one of the granaries, bent down and stretched out his right hand, holding the door handle with one hand, and with a roar, he actually lifted the iron door weighing several thousand kilograms.
When it saw that the grain in the granary could actually be seen to the bottom, its eyes widened.
boom!
Qian Xie turned around and opened another door. Although there was still food inside, it was obviously much less, with less than one-sixth left.
"What's going on? Where's the food?"
It felt very bad, and as the soldier said, it was not damaged at all.
"This...I don't know this either..."
"waste!"
With a snap, Ganxie slapped the orc manager to death with his backhand. He turned around angrily, looked at the guards who did not dare to raise their heads, and shouted:
"A bunch of trash! They actually stole food right in front of your eyes! Check it out for me! If you can't find the murderer, I'll use your flesh and blood as food!"
