Late autumn is the time when the air is crisp and clear, and there are no clouds in the sky. After more than ten days of constant autumn rain, the sun finally arrives.
However, although the sky was clearing up, the mood of the orc guard of Dragon Scale Castle was not good at all. At this time, the leader of the orc flag was standing on the wall of Dragon Scale Castle, frowning at the arrogant human knights below the city, and felt very uneasy.
The opponent's number was small, but they completely ignored the army stationed in Dragon Scale Castle. Just now, he wanted to send the remaining wolf cavalry out to report the news, but he was caught up by the opponent's knights before he could get out of Dragon Scale Castle's sight.
They were eliminated. The other party even brought the corpse of the wolf cavalry to the city to provoke them.
The other officers on the side couldn't help but want to open the city gate and go out to meet the human cavalry for a while, but they were stopped by the cautious flag commander.
Being able to be designated by Sean to control the retreat and important food and grass concentration areas, this leader of the orc flag naturally has its advantages. His biggest advantage is caution. Although the opponent seems to have only a hundred riders, but those flying in the sky
The horse knight and the strange bird knight are not easy to get along with each other at first glance. He still sticks to the task of guarding the Dragon Scale Castle. If he does not seek merit but seeks no faults, guarding the Dragon Scale Castle is his biggest task.
Credit.
It’s just that the message for help has never been sent out...
"Master Flag Captain, all our wind birds have been blocked by the opponent's strange bird knights, and the message cannot be sent to Lord Sean."
Although the Wind Bird is fast, there is always a process of accelerating take-off. The Griffin Knight and the Pegasus Knight basically surrounded the Dragon Scale Castle from mid-air. Before the Wind Bird could fly to a certain height, it fell down and directly captured the flying bird that sent the other party's message.
, cutting off the connection between Dragon Scale Castle and the outside world.
"We have become a completely isolated city here."
"Lord Walls is still outside with his troops, so he should soon discover something strange on our side."
"Walls?"
"Ah."
The leader of the Orc Banner smiled disdainfully. In this situation, the opponent should have discovered this situation long ago and returned to the Dragon Scale Castle. It has not appeared at this time, or it was defeated by the opponent. I don’t know where he is licking his wounds now, or
It has simply been eliminated by the opponent. Anyway, we can't count on Walls' wolf cavalry in this battle.
However, the leader of the Orc Banner was not too alarmed by the fact that the other party had completely blocked external contact with Dragon Scale Castle. This was a major transit point for food and fodder for Xien's army. Even if it was impossible to send messages to the outside world, Xien's army would have to wait for at most two days.
They can also quickly find out that something is wrong. Dragonscale Castle is too important to Sean. As long as he holds on for a few days, Sean's army will definitely send reinforcements, and maybe they can let this human army steal the chicken.
Lose rice.
"Order everyone to close the door tightly, absolutely not to go out to fight, and strictly guard against human sneak attacks."
"Yes, sir!"
The leader of the orc flag has already thought clearly that survival is victory. No matter how provocative these humans are, he must be the iron turtle.
After discovering that the orcs at Dragonscale Castle no longer sent people out, Talis led his people back to M'rak.
"It seems that these orcs are going to defend to the end."
"It doesn't matter. I never thought they would be so stupid. When Ms. Elena comes with reinforcements, we will start attacking the city. Now we will take a rest."
"Um."
…
…
After two days of marching, the elite Northern Route Army led by Elena finally arrived at the Dragon Scale Castle. Although they were closer, they were not as physically strong as the system soldiers and could enjoy the acceleration effect of Mlac.
Reaching Dragon Scale Castle in two days is already considered a good march.
As soon as Elena arrived, she took General Arcee, Sir Mrak and others to discuss the attack plan on Dragon Scale Castle.
In fact, they have no plan at all. All their plans can be simplified into one word, which is to use force to suppress others.
"Let the troops rest for a while and launch the attack in two hours. If we delay for too long, Sean may escape. We can't miss something important."
"Well, I will lead the outstanding swordsman to occupy the city gate in a while. The griffon knight and the silver pegasus knight will join me. As soon as the city gate opens, Taris, you and Xiair will lead the champion knight to charge against the unicorn holy beast.
Come in."
"No problem, this plan is completely feasible."
Several system heroes explained the plan smoothly, but as an ordinary officer of the Northern Route Army, Du Arci was confused, especially when he heard several people saying that an attack would be launched in two hours.
, the whole person was a little confused.
"However, when we marched here, we didn't prepare any siege equipment at all, no ladders, no wells, no shield carts, not even long ladders and flying claws. The siege should be slowed down a little and some engineering equipment should be built.
"
"No, that's too troublesome. After we open the city gate, General Alsi, just rush in with the soldiers to fight. After the orcs are defeated, the remnants of the orcs in the city will be wiped out."
Of course, there are no siege equipment. We spent only two days in total on the road. There was no time to build any siege equipment. Mrak, Elena and others did not consider building siege equipment.
matter.
Like Elena, the outstanding swordsmen and those flying units can ignore the city wall. With the strength of these system armies led by Mlac, they can win this city even without the assistance of the soldiers of Alsi's flag regiment.
The Dragon Scale Fort, which is garrisoned by five thousand orcs, calls in ordinary soldiers just to do odd jobs and share the pressure with the system soldiers. To put it more bluntly, they can be used as cannon fodder.
Of course, this cannon fodder is only in a relative sense. Neither Elena nor Sir Mrak will really use these ordinary soldiers as cannon fodder.
"But…"
Although Arcee had seen the combat effectiveness of the system soldiers in the northern dense forest, he did not follow Richard on the Orcs' eastern plateau to gallop and kill. He still did not fully understand the combat effectiveness of these system soldiers, and he still had some doubts in his heart.
But after Elena, Mrak, Taris and the little transparent Xiel all reached a consensus, Arcee could only swallow her doubts. Under the command of Elena, the army began to prepare for the attack.
Come.
"What do these humans want to do? Just climb up the city wall with their hands?"
"Hahaha, are these humans crazy?"
Originally, the orc commander was relieved that there were only over 5,000 human troops in the city. Later, he discovered that the opponent did not even have siege equipment, so he simply felt that this battle would not be difficult.
After all, even if this human army wants to launch a suicidal attack on Dragonscale Castle, it will have to build some siege equipment before it can attack. It will take several days to build the offensive equipment. By then, Sean's army should have been there long ago.
I found something unusual in Dragon Scale Castle. If I hurry up, maybe by the time the humans prepare their siege equipment, the supporting wolf cavalry will have arrived.
But he never expected that two hours after their arrival, the human reinforcements began to form a formation a thousand meters away from Dragon Scale Castle, and divided into several square formations and began to press towards Dragon Scale Castle, with a strong look.
Launching an attack.
"Sir, are they feinting?"
Not only did the orc commander in Dragon Scale Castle fail to understand, but other junior officers also failed to understand what the human army was doing.
Just to be cautious, the orc commander strengthened the defense of the southern city gate.
"Gather all the strong crossbow troops to the south, prepare the crossbows, and always be alert to the human air cavalry in the sky. They must not be allowed to get close to the city wall!"
"Yes, sir!"
The orc commander found the right threat. Of course, the biggest threat to Dragon Scale Castle was not the thousands of soldiers slowly approaching, but some elites falling from the sky. But this kind of defense was not enough for Zhuo Jue Swordsman and Irene.
It doesn't make any sense to Na.
When the human army approached within a range of 500 meters, the drums from the rear began to become denser, and the "dong-dong" sound of the military drums urged the attacking troops to speed up their advance.
Although these elite soldiers of the Northern Route Army were a little confused and didn't understand the point of attacking like this since they didn't have siege equipment, they still couldn't help it due to long-term discipline and Alsi personally leading the team.
Consciously speeding up.
The Pegasus knights and griffon knights in the sky followed suit and slowly approached the city gate from mid-air. Just as the orc warriors on the city focused their attention on the flying troops in the sky, four figures emerged from the attacking front.
He broke away and flew towards the city head directly under the frightened eyes of the defenders.
Four strong human beings at the level of the Protector of the Country? Flying in the sky is the signature feature of the Sky Knights. For the orcs, they are the level of the Protector of the Country.
It is not difficult for the monsters to accept it. There are only two orcs with the level of the Protector Warrior. One is in the North, and the other is Sean who is currently leading the army to attack Longyi City. Now humans
It was really unbelievable that four people suddenly appeared to attack this small Dragon Scale Castle. They would rather believe that these four humans used some special martial arts methods than believe that these were four sky-level people.
Master.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Facing the attack of four suspected sky-level human masters, the orcs no longer had to guard against the human air cavalry in the sky. They first fired at the four flying human masters.
Almost all the orcs' powerful crossbows were concentrated on the south city gate, and hundreds of crossbow bolts instantly covered Elena and three outstanding swordsmen a hundred meters away.
It's just that ordinary arrows can hardly pose any threat to the strong men of the sky level. Not to mention the thick armor on the outstanding swordsmen, it is difficult for these powerful crossbows to break through. They can easily resist the shots if they have some fighting spirit attached to them.
The seemingly dense arrows could not even stop the four people from moving forward.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
Seeing the four people emerge from the arrow rain unscathed, without waiting for the orc commander's order, the unique low muffled sound of bed crossbows also sounded one after another, and several bed crossbows arranged on the city wall also launched attacks on the four people.
The four of them cannot completely ignore the attack of the bed crossbow. After all, the power of this thing is not on the same level as the ordinary individual strong crossbow. If it is hit, they may still suffer some damage.
"boom!"
Elena easily dodged the oncoming giant arrow, while the outstanding swordsman's handling was simpler and rougher, directly blocking the giant sword filled with fighting spirit in front of her, and when the crossbow arrow flew towards her, she swung it away with one sword.
, if the density of these giant arrows could be the same as the arrows fired by the powerful crossbows just now, it would cause some trouble for Elena and the others, but a few scattered crossbows would hardly pose a threat.
After easily resisting two rounds of long-range attacks, Elena and three outstanding swordsmen landed on the top of Dragon Scale Castle.
Elena was okay. Although she could tell she was a master, she was still shorter than an orc, and her silver armor didn't look too oppressive.
The image of the three outstanding swordsmen is much more aggressive. They are stronger than most orcs, wearing heavy armor with spikes, coupled with scarlet cloaks and heavy swords like door panels.
At first glance, they looked like they were very difficult to mess with, and coupled with their performance of flying directly to the top of the city just now, the orcs around them did not dare to attack for a while.
Fortunately, some orc officers still plucked up the courage after a brief hesitation, raised their weapons and issued the order to attack.
"Kill! There are only four of them!"
"kill!"
The orc officers woke up the orcs on the wall. Yes, there are only four of them. We have thousands of people on this wall alone. We will kill them all.
Facts have proved that numerical superiority sometimes does bring inexplicable courage. Even if they suspected that the opponents were all good warriors of the country-protecting warrior class, the orc warriors still took the initiative to launch an attack under the leadership of the orc officer, trying to drive away the four humans.
Go down to the city wall.
"Chi!"
"boom!"
Next, a one-sided massacre took place on the city wall. No matter whether it was a soldier holding a big ax or a sword and shield player who focused on defense, it was difficult for them to withstand a single blow from the great swordsman's door-like sword. It was so heavy
The huge sword was danced like a tiger under the powerful power of the outstanding swordsman, and attached to the sky-level fighting spirit. Whether it was a battle ax or a sword or shield in the hands of the orc warrior, it would almost break with a touch, and the heavy armor on his body was even more severe.
Like paper, the outstanding swordsman would often cut an orc warrior into two pieces with weapons and armor. Hell-like scenes soon appeared on the city walls, with corpses and severed limbs everywhere.
In a short period of time, Elena and three outstanding warriors killed one or two hundred orc warriors, leaving a blank space on the city wall.
Facing the corpses stacked in a circle, even the brave orcs hesitated, and the surrounding orc warriors did not immediately rush towards Elena and the four others.
At this time, Elena and the four of them did not get entangled with the orcs on the city wall. Their purpose was very clear and they headed straight for the noose at the city gate.
"Bah!"
At this time, the Silver Pegasus Knights and Griffin Knights in the sky also swooped down to join the battle. The orc warriors on the city wall who were killed by Elena's four people and doubted their life were once again trapped in a bitter battle. Some orc officers clearly reacted.
He wanted to lead people to stop him but was stopped by the Griffin Knight and the Silver Pegasus Knight. He could only watch helplessly as Elena and others twisted the noose of the city gate.
"Squeak~"
A sharp metal sound sounded, and the city gate to the south of Dragon Scale Castle slowly opened. The champion knight and unicorn holy beast brought by Taris accelerated in the open space a hundred meters away. The moment the city gate opened, Taris also brought
The people rushed into the Dragon Scale Castle in just seconds, and then five thousand ordinary soldiers from the Northern Route Army also filed in. They followed Talis and encountered almost no resistance.
