Large fires lit up outside Iron Spear City, and these flames surrounded Iron Spear City, encircling it impenetrably.
In the city, the orcs were taking turns to rest after a day of fighting. The human attack today was quite fierce. Although the humans were equally short in stature, their ferocity far exceeded the orcs' imagination.
The environment in the Western Territory is not good. There are no big cities. The desert is full of lizards and bandits. If you don't be ruthless, you will die. For those warriors who grew up in the desert of the Western Territory, it is normal for them to lick blood from their swords in their teens. The Western Territory is composed of such people.
The army naturally gives the enemy more headaches.
"General Sergio, the human attack today was too dangerous. Humans almost took over the city wall. Fortunately, the general took action and drove the humans away."
On the wall of Ironspear City, the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke has not dissipated. It is quite unpleasant when mixed with the smell of gunpowder. However, the surrounding orcs are not strange at all. They are obviously used to this smell. Several orc officers are standing on the wall.
On the other side, looking at the endless human camps outside, his face was full of solemnity.
"How much did we lose today."
"The stock of arrows is still sufficient, but the casualties are a bit larger. There are more than 600 corpses carried down alone, and there are many who are seriously injured and cannot continue to fight. Humans can actually install bed crossbows on wells. This
It's a big threat to our defense."
"It's only been a few days since the fight started like this. We've all been careless. If I hadn't driven off the great human knight today and waited for more humans to come up from behind, maybe the humans would have launched a general attack. These humans are different.
"
"Yes, in the past, the great human knights would not take action easily. I didn't expect that today there would be a great human knight leading the knights among the soldiers in the well and rushing up to open the way."
"Those soldiers are also different. Although they look thin, their eyes look a little hairy when they fight. They don't care about their own lives at all."
"When will the reinforcements from Rapids arrive?"
The frightened orc general asked the deputy general about reinforcements. After these days of fighting, he was a little unsure about defending the city.
"Reinforcements from Rapid City will arrive in five days at most."
"Send someone to urge them again, and also remind the reinforcements in Rapid City that there are many human cavalry, and they are not afraid of wolf knights. Let them march more carefully."
"Yes, sir."
There are also a small group of wolf cavalry in Iron Spear City, but the number is definitely not comparable to the 300,000 Western Territory Iron Cavalry outside. At first, I wanted to take advantage of the fear of the giant wolf by the horses, but the effect was not good.
Obviously, the horses of the Western Army were specially trained, and their legs were weak when encountering a giant wolf. In the end, the wolf knight was bullied by the Western Cavalry with ten times the numerical advantage, leaving hundreds of corpses behind.
Slipping back.
"Starting tomorrow, you and I will patrol the city together. When you encounter a concentrated breakthrough by human knights, you must press it as soon as possible to prevent a situation like today from happening again."
"Yes, sir."
In Iron Spear City, there are two earth-level orcs. Although they are around the level of the middle-level earth level, they are not as good as Duke Ross, but it is no problem to bully the great knight. As the main general of the southern front, Duke Ross cannot risk it easily.
Ishiya participated in high-risk things like siege.
…
…
"Your Majesty, the losses in today's siege were too heavy. Thirteen knights alone were lost. The first legion responsible for the main attack has been crippled."
"Where's Adil?"
"Adil personally led his troops to the city wall again, and was seriously injured after encountering the orcs. If his guards hadn't fought to save him in the end, I'm afraid Adil would have died in Ironspear City."
The faces of the adjutants beside Ross were full of fear and distress. What was scary was that a few days after the siege, they almost lost a legion commander and went in. What was sad was that the First Legion was one of the strongest spears of the Western Army. This attack
More than one-fifth of the city was lost in one day, and an entire flag regiment was wiped out. How long had it been since the Western Border Army suffered such heavy losses? How could he not feel distressed?
"This boy is a little impulsive when fighting. His impulsiveness was good when he was the commander of the flag regiment. But when he became the commander of the regiment, he can't be so reckless."
Although Duke Ross's tone was reproachful, anyone could hear the emphasis in it.
The adjutant on the side almost couldn't help rolling his eyes. You said that Adil was reckless. You are the one who ordered the strong attack. You just let the cavalry of the Western Region abandon their best skills and use them as infantry. It really doesn't hurt.
"Is Adil seriously injured?"
"Adil has lost a lot of blood and has a few big wounds on his body, but they are not serious, but I am afraid he will not be able to fight again for a while."
"Then let him take good care of himself for a while."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke."
"Um?"
"In the battles in the past few days, our losses have been too great, and the orc reinforcements are already on the way. It is very dangerous for us to continue fighting like this."
In the end, Ross's adjutant couldn't help but remind him that Ross was the only one in the Western Army. The adjutant didn't question his intentions. He really regarded himself as a member of the Western Army and was worried about Ross.
"Well, I understand. Let the White Wolf Warriors come tomorrow."
"this?"
The White Wolf Warriors are the elite of the Western Army. Because of the kingdom's discrimination against orcs, most of the orcs are making a living in the Western Territory. Although some of them have been moved to the North by Richard, their number is still half the number of the Western Territory.
Orcs can't compare.
There are many orcs serving in the Western Army. The White Wolf Warriors, the entire flag regiment is composed entirely of orcs. They select the strongest elite among the orcs. They usually enjoy the best treatment and the best equipment.
The armor and weapons, and the proportion of knights are also astonishingly high. It is an army that can definitely fight with the orc elites one to one in numbers, and can even be even more victorious.
Now Duke Ross no longer uses the Western Iron Army to attack the city, but instead uses the more valuable White Wolf Warriors to attack the city?
"Your Majesty, Duke, it would be a waste to use the elite of our Western Army to attack the city. Why not let the infantry from Longxing Pass take the main attack tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow the infantry from Dragon's Breath Pass will also come, as will the White Wolf Warriors. We must put enough pressure on them and try to capture Iron Spear City before the orc reinforcements arrive."
"What if I can't take it?"
"If you can't win, there are ways to win if you can't win."
Ross obviously had a plan in mind, but for this plan, the losses suffered by the Western Army in the past few days were too great.
Seeing that Ross had made up his mind, the adjutant said no more, just sighed and went down quietly to prepare.
Ross was left looking at the similarly brightly lit Ironspear City, pressing the hilt of his sword and wondering what else he was planning.
…
Miracle City, Rock Castle
On the same night, Richard did not stay in the northern jungle to mobilize and command the army. Instead, he handed over the army to Elena and Moriel and then used teleportation alone to return to Miracle City.
When Richard acts alone, the effectiveness of teleportation can be maximized. In addition, Richard's level has been improved a bit, and he only paused once to recover his magic power. It took him less than two hours to go through more than a month.
A journey that only took a month to complete.
However, after Richard returned to Miracle City, he did not return to the Duke's Palace to alarm anyone. Instead, he went directly to the Stone Fortress. The market had been refreshed a few days ago. He waited until the battle at Cave Mountain was over before Richard rushed back to check.
"Dear Ambassador of God, Grandet has been waiting for you for many days..."
Although Richard came back in the middle of the night, Grandet's voice came to him as soon as Richard approached the market. Richard still didn't have anything to say, and after walking into the brightly lit market, he looked at the month.
New products are coming.
…

"good…"
The products in the market this time are all in line with Richard's wishes. The Lion Shield is even a small top-notch treasure in the game. The attributes it adds are worthy of its name, and it is also an important artifact and one of the components of the Angel Alliance.
Including the Lion King's Shield, Richard has also obtained half of the Angel Alliance's combined treasures. According to this progress, it is only a matter of time before the Angel Alliance can be assembled.
The potions are also large-volume and practical knight potions. This kind of potion can be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of gold in the capital. Richard is almost planning to do it. A bottle of 800 gold is a conscientious price.
It is absolutely unique. If the Hunter family itself was not in urgent need of knight potion, Richard would have wanted to sell some to recycle some gold.
What appeared among the soldiers was an unexpected existence, a poisonous dragon. The strength of the poisonous dragon was actually equivalent to that of the ancient golden dragon and the archangel. They were both at the level of eighth-level soldiers. The top of the sky level was separated from the holy level by a thin line.
According to the strength of the military units, it is related to Richard's level strength. In this battle in the northern dense forest, although Richard was promoted by one level, his level and strength were not greatly improved. It is certain that it is difficult for the military units that appear on the market to appear.
What a qualitative change.
After continuing to ignore the resource pack, Richard bought all the other products. After the gold was flowing out, a small golden shield appeared on the market counter.
This small shield was only slightly larger than the shield in the hands of the Crusaders. It was red in color with a golden lion painted in the middle. It looked like it was no ordinary thing. Richard picked up the shield in his left hand and waved it casually a few times.
, it feels quite comfortable.
Then Richard hung the Lion King's Shield on his back, took a dozen knight potions on the table, and walked out of the market amidst Grandet's greeting.
As soon as I stepped out, I smelled a strong fishy smell. Poison Dragon was already waiting outside the market...
