The verdant fades and the surface vegetation thins, revealing the grayish-brown dirt and gravel underneath.

The team traveled nearly a hundred kilometers to the northeast, and finally arrived at the rocky wasteland in front of the Stormhorn Mountains at about two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

Halfway through, the team rested for a while by a grassland stream, simply ate some dry food and swallowed it with water, while Zeke the wolf went to solve the food problem by himself, and he didn't know where to take back a few hares, chewed them one by one, and swallowed them one by one, which made the aristocratic girl feel disgusted.

Standing on the wasteland, three men and one wolf, perched on the slope at the edge of the grassland, looking down from a high place, you can easily see the outline of the wall of the border fortress.

However, the rocky wasteland was not calm today, with the rumbling of war drums, the sound of trumpets filled with a solemn atmosphere, and thick smoke rising from the burning fortress, and columns of smoke wafting in the air, which could be seen from afar.

The shadow of the human garrison can be faintly seen on the fortress castle, but the orc army surrounding the fortress is black and oppressive, east, west, south, north, the formation is tight, the deployment is clear, and people who don't know the inside story will probably think that this is a human army with a wise leader at first glance.

"Boom"

A dull thunderclap from the direction of the fortress immediately caught Charles' attention.

It was a couple of giants carrying huge boulders, ugly and disgusting, their first impression of the Charles. Wild boar-like fangs, a large mouth dripping with saliva, and distorted facial features...... It doesn't matter what these strange looks are, and more importantly, those giants even have a third arm on their chests.

They are clad in thick iron armor with rudimentary craftsmanship, and their bulky bodies look like small hills. These giants had been standing under the walls of the Rock Fort for a long time, and the defenders of the city had no idea how many rounds of arrows they had fired, but for the ironclad giants, it was like tickling.

The giant's head was just parallel to the city walls, and you can imagine how large they were, and the human soldiers looked at the evil eyes that were close at hand. They all showed fear.

In particular, the militiamen and farmers who were temporarily conscripted to defend the city were so frightened that their legs were so weak that they couldn't run.

"Three-armed troll!" Charles secretly let out a cool breath, he didn't expect that the 'wolf soul tribe' in Zeke's mouth would be able to enslave these terrifying giants.

Three-armed trolls, chaotic evil creatures. Adults generally weigh 2 to 3 tons, and in terms of height, the walls of Dangerous Rock Fort are more than 6 meters at all, but the fact that these trolls can look at the defenders on the wall speaks volumes.

Rumble.

There was another loud bang.

In front of the walls in each of the four directions of the Dangerous Rock Fortress, two three-armed trolls stood in front of each other, and the orc overseers were protected by the orc shield guards, and from time to time they waved their magic whips behind the trolls, snapping them at the trolls. And shouted in a strange giant dialect: "Smash, smash me, smash the walls, and Hato will give you a lot of gems to eat delicious food......"

If you place a glass of water on the ground, the glass will definitely ripple in circles at the moment, and it will not stop.

Charles could feel the subtle tremors of the ground beneath his feet, a total of eight adult three-armed trolls. or holding a boulder, or holding a stump wrapped in iron. Slammed into the walls of Fort Danger.

Looking at it like this, not to mention holding out until the arrival of Arabe's reinforcements, the fortress is very likely to fall before evening.

"Zeke, what's going on, how can the orcs enslave these three-armed trolls?" Charles took a deep breath and looked down at the wolf under his crotch.

"Nope. The Wolf Soul Tribe is not eligible to enslave the Three-Armed Troll...... Yes, it must have been the orc shamans who sent reinforcements, master, if you take a closer look at the orc overseers, you might find something else. Zeke said with a hint of panic in his eyes.

"Dangerous Rock Fort may not be able to hold it."

The Charles didn't look at the orc formations in the wasteland anymore. "Although this border fortress has a population of about 3,000, including 500 regular troops and an exemplary commander, most of the other 2,000 people are farmers and herdsmen, and some of them may be able to kill two or three goblins and kobolds, but against the orcs, they will definitely be slaughtered. ”

"What about adventurers, this is a border fortress, located in the wasteland around the Storm Horn Mountains, and there are usually many passing adventurers and mercenary teams settling in the town, if you can mobilize them......" The Yaling sorceress Kaish said anxiously.

"Counting on adventurers and mercenaries to fight?" Charles sighed lightly and said, "Then it is better to recruit more strong and strong people to assist in the defense, the people are much more obedient than the unruly professionals, and it is easier to command." ”

"And, look, the fortress is about to fall, and counting on those old fritter adventurers and mercenaries to sacrifice their lives to defend the city for the noble lords they curse every day in private?"

Charles shrugged his shoulders and sneered, "Money can make them go, but not all of them...... Not to mention the danger of handing over your life in a seven-eighty-percent chance. ”

"What then?" The aristocratic girl's worried look was written all on her face. As the upper nobles of the imperial capital, as the inheritor of the 'purifier' family, the old witch Mary has probably been educating her on how to shoulder her due responsibilities.

The Female Blood was silent in the background, her eyes shining with amusement, staring at the back of the hateful priest.

She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The rest of her hated Bane's obligatory undercover mission, she missed her family, and although she had defected, Marcy knew that she would be forgiven by her mother, the Night King, if she went back and admitted her mistakes.

Mahi resisted Bane's mission, but she couldn't kill the Priest of the Coming in the open and abscond, that would really anger a high deity, and it would be useless to flee back to Simon.

So, Mahi had already thought that there would be a lot of things to help her get rid of the priest during the trip, and now that Arabe had just arrived, Mahi had waited for an opportunity.

"Quick, get involved in the war! The orcs will crush you! The three-armed troll will smash your disgusting shell to pieces! Mahi stared at Charles' back, and her pupils showed an irrepressible look of viciousness.

"Stop the orcs!"

"Gotta stop it!"

Charles regained his consciousness from his contemplation and said in a sonorous tone: "Dangerous Rock Fort is Arabe's first line of defense against the orcs, and the orcs must be afraid of dragging on if they attack so quickly...... The female lord couldn't have been unguarded, maybe the reinforcements she had sent were already on the way. ”

"As long as you help Dangerous Rock Fort survive this night, the battle situation will turn around tomorrow!" Charles muttered.

Seeing his confident expression, Cathy immediately knew that the priest had a countermeasure, and couldn't help pursing his lips and said, "Since you have a way, then say it." ”

"The three of us split up." Charles rolled over and jumped off the wolf's back, drawing a floor plan of the Rock Fort and the surrounding area in circles on the dirt floor. He pointed to the circles representing the orc army formation in the four directions of the fortress, and said coldly: "If these orcs are scattered, it will be difficult to deal with. ”

"The orcs and their allies, the goblin minions, the kobold minions, the phalanx of these monsters, staggered with canine teeth on the flat ground...... Hey, we throw things to send cowardly kobolds and goblins scattered, and the resulting chaos will be like a virus cell that quickly affects the entire orc army. ”

Although Cathy did not understand the word "virus" in the pastor's mouth, it did not prevent her from understanding it.

"Throwing something?" The aristocratic girl was confused at first, and when she caught a glimpse of Charles sorting out her backpack, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Scroll? Aerial throwing? ”

"You're not stupid."

Charles rummaged through the backpack space for available large-scale kill scrolls, and said without raising his head when he heard this: "It's a pity, using high-level spell scrolls against kobolds and goblins is like using magic cannons to kill mosquitoes, but who called them too many, they are several times more than orc warriors, once they break out in the military formation, even if there are a few orc shamans, there is no way to control this rampaging army." ”

Cathy's face was bright, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a small smile when he thought of the chaotic scene Charles described.

"I'm not going to hold back this time!" The sorceress said firmly.

"There are only three of us, and if we want to make the orc army ruined, we can't be idle." Charles had an extra pile of scrolls in his arms, eight of them, roughly counted. He handed the scroll to Cathy, looked deeply at the aristocratic maiden, and said, "Attention, without me, you are responsible for your own life." This time there is no room for you to drag your feet, and if you make a mistake in the air and fall to the ground, no one can save you. ”

"Mahi, come over too."

Charles beckoned to the Female Blood, and Mahi immediately leaned over and knelt beside him, her expression respectful.

"Although I don't know what happened to you, I think you are still you, and you have your own thoughts......" Charles couldn't help but touch the head of the female bloodliner, rubbed her long blood-red hair, and smiled: "You deliberately alienated me these days, maybe you have recovered your memory...... We have an unhappy past after all. ”

"Former enemies, now master and servant, may later resume hostile relations, or they may be friends. The choice is yours, not mine. ”

The female blood buried her head down, and although her eyes showed a look of resistance and humiliation, her body, which had just begun to tense, gradually relaxed under the kneading of Charles, and there was even a strange feeling of joy in Mahi's heart. She couldn't help but wrinch her legs in a kneeling position.

With that, Charles also handed over about eight scrolls to Mahi.

Half of the scrolls in the hands of the noble girl and Mahi are range spell scrolls with four or five rings, and the others are auxiliary scrolls such as [Flying Technique], [Invisibility Technique], and [Disarming Magic].

Counting the share Charles had left for himself, these scrolls were almost all of his family's wealth.

After all, there is a daily limit on the number of scrolls sold in the NPC Secret Shop, especially the four-ring and five-ring scrolls, the store only sells 1-3 scrolls per day, the three-ring scrolls are up to 5, and the next one and second ring green scrolls are generally 10 pieces.

So even if Charles visited many secret stores in the imperial capital that night and swept away all the blue and purple scrolls, the number was only a few dozen. (To be continued......)
