Sandro's position was originally on the front line of the battle between the two sides, not far from the human defenders. After fighting several small-scale orc armies in the middle, he entered the area controlled by the defenders. At this time, Sandro
Not only did the undead army around Lu not decrease, but it increased to more than a thousand people in a short period of time.
"Attention, there is a situation!"
Sandro led his undead army into the area controlled by the defenders. When the battle was so tense, it certainly attracted the attention of the defenders.
The soldiers operating the Shenwei crossbows have already filled their arrows, the soldiers at the eaves have also cocked their crossbows, and the soldiers hiding everywhere have also grasped their weapons. There are only a few hundred people in this area to defend, if not for a systematic
Soldiers and heroes might have been completely wiped out by the orcs if they supported us from time to time.
Now this remnant army looked at the more than a thousand strange troops wearing orc equipment coming from the opposite side, and immediately prepared for battle. Although this garrison was a remnant army, it was not defeated. Although there was no possibility of victory, it was possible to fight to the death.
The courage to fight.
The knight in charge wiped the long sword in his hand, trying to wipe it as clean as possible, but some of the blood stains on it were condensed and could not be wiped clean. The knight simply gave up and gave orders to the surrounding soldiers.
road:
"The fight will start soon. If I die in the battle, you should stop trying to snatch my body out. If you have the time, killing two more orcs is worth more than anything else."
"Yes, Master Aleph!"
The surrounding soldiers did not perform any more touching dramas. They just nodded silently, each holding their weapons and looking at the approaching "orc" army. They only waited for the commander's order before they launched an attack, thinking to themselves.
No matter what, I have to kill an orc to take my back.
Aleph was originally from a noble family in the Central Plains. Aleph, who was quite talented, also became a knight in his twenties. Unfortunately, as the third son in the family, the eldest and second son were both knights.
There was no possibility of inheriting the title, so Aleph, who was very ambitious, decided to go to Longxiguan to try his luck in the military. The nobles in the central plains were generally richer than the nobles in the north. Aleph chose to join the army, and his family
Not only did he prepare a full set of equipment, but he also appointed a dozen sons who had practiced martial arts since childhood to join the army with Aleph.
According to the rules, they are Aleph's personal soldiers. If Aleph dies in battle, they must at least snatch Aleph's body alive to avoid guilt. Otherwise, they will be punished by death no matter where they go and their families will be implicated. But now the Central Plains are
Being swept away by the orcs, whether their family members are still there or not is a question.
Moreover, the battle in Sirgrad was so brutal that they were almost in a state of numbness. In addition to killing the enemy, their own lives were not included in the calculation. How could they care about whether to snatch the body or not? Faced with Aleph's
Regarding the arrangements outside of the battle, they just nodded numbly. The only thing that allowed them to respond quickly now was the instructions about the battle.
When the blood-stained human knight heard the soldiers around him calling him master again, he moved his lips and instinctively wanted to correct the other person's call and let him address his military position, but he gave up when the words came to his mouth.
I am afraid that no one will survive the first battle, and there is no point in correcting them. I just lowered my face and focused on looking at the approaching orc army.
When the orc got close enough, he immediately ordered:
"Ready to fight!"
The human army responsible for the defense of these streets was originally part of the garrison of Longxing Pass. They followed Richard on the northern front and fought jungle battles with the orcs in the northern dense forests. They also defeated the orcs on the northern route under the command of Gru.
Even when the legion retreated, it was not like the other defenders who suffered heavy losses and were defeated. Instead, they followed Gru and retreated all the way to Sirgler when nothing could be done.
Compared with some of the defeated troops gathered by Gru on the way and the tens of thousands of troops originally stationed in Sirgler, the 100,000 troops who followed Gru from the northern line of Longxing Pass are the most powerful and tenacious, and their morale is also quite high.
, there was no intention of retreating during the battle to defend the city. If we can still save some strength after this battle, we can easily reorganize it into a new ace army.
"Master Aleph, there seems to be something wrong with those orcs. Why are there still some soldiers with only bones left among them?"
Sandro and Aisha placed the zombies in front of them during the march. These undead warriors wearing the armor they had in life still had some flesh and blood on them, so it was not easy to see the difference from a distance.
But the skeleton warriors in the team could tell at a glance that something was wrong as long as they were a little closer. The dense white bones and green soul fire did not look like normal orc warriors.
"It's so ugly."
This was Aleph's first reaction when he saw the skeleton soldiers. There was no fear, only disgust. Apart from being a little surprised, the soldiers around him did not show any special emotions. This group of soldiers who had been fighting on the battlefield until they were numb, were dripping with blood.
He crawled around among the corpses and had no fear of death. How could he be frightened by a group of skeletons?
"Fire the arrow!"
After feeling disgusted, Aleph immediately gave the order to fire arrows. Although the other party was a little weird, it did not affect Aleph's recognition of the other party as an enemy. After all, most of these undead warriors were transformed from orcs, and they were all covered with blood.
The orcs' armor is highly recognizable, and the direction it comes from is also the direction of the orcs' attack.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
"Buzz..."
The crossbow fired a round, and the two Shenwei crossbows also made a buzzing sound.
It's just that ordinary crossbows are really weak against heavy armored units, let alone heavy armored units that turn into undead. One round of crossbows only left a few more decorations on the zombies walking in front, but the two divine crossbows collapsed.
Shattered a skeleton soldier and pinned a zombie to the ground.
Just when Aleph picked up his sword with the determination to die, and stood up to engage the opponent in hand-to-hand combat, a hoarse but extremely clear voice came from the opposite side.
"Wait a minute, we are not enemies."
"Huh? Who are you?"
As he spoke, Aleph made a downward movement with his hands behind him, stopping the soldiers who were about to attack and asking everyone to calm down.
Two men in black robes walked out of the array on the opposite side. Their figures were incompatible with the surrounding "orcs". They were 1.6 meters tall. They were blocked by the orcs before they came out, so no one noticed at all.
Of course, Aleph was able to make his men stop their actions and ask questions, not only because of this voice, but also because Sandro ordered the undead army to stop advancing.
"We are Lord Richard's subordinates. The army from the North is on its way to help. We came here in advance to support them."
"How do you prove that you are Lord Richard's subordinate? Do you have a warrant from Lord Richard?"
Aleph, or the entire 100,000-strong army on the northern front, after fighting many victorious battles with Richard and Gru, has almost regarded himself as Richard's subordinate, and it depends on Sandro to prove his identity.
Richard's warrant.
Sandro naturally had Richard's warrant. He threw it in the air and accurately landed in the hands of Aleph, who was more than twenty meters away.
But when he actually handed it over to Aleph, Aleph was dumbfounded. He subconsciously said that the only warrants he had seen were the Longxingguan and Kingdom versions. He had never seen what the Northland one looked like.
Yes, I don’t know how to distinguish between true and false. I just said it casually, but I didn’t expect that the other person actually took it out.
"You can get out of the way now. I'm going to see Gru now. If I'm later, I'm afraid it will delay Sir Richard's affairs."
"this…"
He brought more than a thousand undead monsters wearing orc armor, and even named them to go to the core area to see the coach Gru. Now he had to pass through his defense area, and he didn't know whether the other party's warrant was true or false, so he really didn't dare to let it go easily.
The other party passes.
The two sides remained in a stalemate for several seconds. Sandro and others waited for the other party to get out of the way, but saw that Aleph was reluctant to give orders.
"I really want to pull out this guy's soul and torture him to death and turn him into a wraith."
Aisha made no secret of her murderous intent, and Sandru was also getting impatient. If it weren't for Richard's restraint, the hundreds of human defenders opposite would have been Sandru's material to expand the undead army.
"Undead?"
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate and the atmosphere was getting awkward, a sudden voice sounded, with a bit of surprise in his tone, and the next sentence expressed his hostility without any concealment.
"Let Sir Richard release these nasty bone scum."
"Lord Mrak."
The person who came was none other than Sir Mulak, who had led the cavalry before. Because he had the special ability to lead troops with speed, if he only led the system army, he would be incredibly fast and could quickly reinforce the defenders in all directions, so Gru moved all the system soldiers who could maneuver.
Leave it to him to act as the fire-fighting captain.
Just then, Sir Mrak led his people to the vicinity of Aleph's defense area. Hearing the sound of crossbows firing here, he rushed over to support, but unexpectedly saw something he hated as soon as he arrived.
It is also possible that the human (castle) forces have never seen undead heroes, and their disgust towards the undead is the same as the undead's disgust towards the living.
Sandro also followed the sound and saw Mrak coming with the champion knight.
"It's Sir M'rak."
"Sandru? And Elsa?"
"It's you two lunatics who came to support us."
Both sides are famous heroes on the continent of Erathia. They have fought against each other countless times, so they recognized each other at a glance.
Sandro and Aisha didn't feel anything about being called mad by Sir Mrak. After all, madness was not even a derogatory term for undead creatures.
"How, what does it feel like to be rescued by the undead?"
Sir Mrak didn't respond, obviously still a little panicked.
"Don't waste any time, take me to Gru."
"snort!"
Although he was quite disgusted with undead creatures, Sir Fumrak immediately turned around and gave Aleph an order after confirming the identity of the other party.
"Get out of the way!"
"Yes, Lord Mrak!"
Compared with heroes who suddenly appear like Sandro and Aisha, heroes like Sir M'Lak who have been active on the battlefield are naturally more effective in speaking. Most of them, from officers to soldiers, know him. With M'Lak's order, Ah
Lev immediately complied.
…
City Lord's Mansion
Gru's temporary command center
"Sir, the third western section has been occupied by orcs, and the defenders have been completely wiped out."
"Order the Third Flag Regiment to retreat to the second section of the west area, leaving 500 meters away from the orcs, and reorganize the defense line first."
"Yes, Lord Gru!"
The soldier who sent the message hurried out again and immediately wanted to go outside to convey Gru's order.
"Sir, area No. 7 East is in emergency and may be lost soon."
"The area of East No. 7 cannot be lost. Let the five mobile Centuries go up. It must be defended."
"Yes, sir!"
In order to strengthen the organization in street fighting and to facilitate command, Gru and Taize divided Sirgrad into dozens of areas. It is almost clear at a glance where to give up and where to hold on. In this way, Gru and Taize
I have been doing extreme micro-management and making the best use of every bit of force in my hand.
Coupled with the fact that Mrak led mobile troops to plug leaks everywhere and the powerful personal abilities of several system heroes, he was able to withstand the ultimate pressure in front of the orcs' overwhelming offensive, and constantly struggled with the orcs who had superior strength.
But now in the city lord's palace, bad news has come one after another. Although they are struggling to maintain it with the help of system troops and heroes, it won't be long before the orcs can break the current deadlock if this continues.
"Lord Gru, Mr. Sandro is here."
After a string of bad news, Gru finally heard good news.
The situation was critical, and Gru, who was originally not too fond of undead creatures, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Sandro's arrival.
