Chuck lived up to the title of "platinum" he had given before his rank as a centurion, and made the most correct order in the current situation.

He formed a dense formation of spearmen to block the path of the Foot Wolf Knights to the walls, and then mobilized all the crossbowmen to the towers with good shooting range on the dirt slopes.

Defend your enemies head-on with well-formed heavily armed spearmen, then use their crossbows to inflict massive damage. This was the most common and effective defensive tactic used by Ferreton's army in the absence of cavalry.

In the beginning, the Centurion's arrangement really worked well. In the Tundra Orc army, there are no heavy cavalry in heavy armor that can crush the enemy's formation with a powerful charge. Lacking suitable mounts, these green-skinned barbarians chose wolves to form their cavalry. However, the discipline, impact power, and weight-bearing ability of the wolf are not as good as the war horse, so the wolf cavalry can only be used to perform harassment and pursuit missions, and naturally will not be equipped with any heavy armor.

Orcs who lag behind the human world by more than 3oo years in metal smelting and armor manufacturing technology, even if they get "imports" from human smugglers, will be prioritized to equip the strongest elite warriors in the tribe with the title of "Slasher".

Therefore, in the face of the rain of arrows from the flank, the walking wolf knight who began to charge towards the dirt slope did not have a good way. They wore only light leather armor - a good protection for an orc army, but not enough for a Ferreton military heavy crossbow. And since the weapon was a large boning knife designed to facilitate slashing, they didn't even have a small round shield equipped.

As a result, the wolf rider had just rushed up the dirt slope when he was swept away by a rain of arrows like wheat.

The fluffy blood flowers bloom among the beasts, and with their unique green skin, they look from afar. It even gives the illusion of flowers blooming one after another on the green grass in spring.

Moreover, the dirt slope, which seemed to pave the way for the orcs to climb the city walls, was not as easy to climb as it seemed. This is a natural slope created by a mudslide caused by an earthquake, not a road that has been built and tamped by man. Therefore, the soil slope is soft and soft in various places, and if you are not careful, it will sink. This, combined with the hard rocks mixed in the dirt, makes it even more difficult.

Orcs, who are generally stronger in size and strength than humans, have shown their weakness and sluggishness as they climb this dirt slope.

However, despite the obvious geographical advantage, the strength and morale are weak. Or let Chuck Centurion's troops quickly fall to the brink of collapse.

After paying nearly 200 casualties, the Foot Wolf Knight finally climbed the wall along the dirt slope. The defenders' crossbow troops were already wielding well, but since most of the warehouses where the arrows were stored were flooded by mudslides, the archers generally only carried a barrel of twelve arrows with them. It cannot be replenished. After the fire quickly waned, the archers in the tower could only watch the orcs roaring wildly. Crashed into a shield wall of spearmen.

This battle on the walls is dry and bloody. Death is also insignificant because it is born at all times.

Whether it was the corpse of an orc who had been poked a few holes by a spear, or the corpse of a human being cut to pieces directly by a boning knife, the walls were soon piled up. The blood of humans and orcs mixed together, making the ground slimy, and many unlucky people fell as a result. After being trampled to death by countless pairs of big feet.

The sound of weapons clashing with flesh and blood, and the curses of orcs and lingua franca mingua mingled in a mixture that filled everyone's ears.

Chuck. McDougall's only fully formed team of 100 after the earthquake could not hold out after fifteen minutes. He had to bring the other two crippled centurions to the top. Twenty minutes later. He was so ruthless that the shooters, who had no ammunition, drew their short swords from their waists and walked up to the city walls.

It's a pity that these weapons in their hands are like toy-like shooters compared to the orc boning knives, and they are defeated in less than five minutes.

Seeing that the remaining thin three-story human wall was about to be broken by the orcs, the centurion gritted his teeth and prepared to send those auxiliaries up.

This is the final struggle.

Chuck. Dugall, along with several other detachment commanders, also stood at the forefront with weapons.

"O Bahamut, today is the day of my death!" With a sword full of despair, Chuck knocked out one of the orc cavalrymen in front of him, and he drew his sword back, pulling a large part of his opponent's intestines along the way. The badly wounded orc cursed and fell to the ground, revealing a gap that allowed him to see the scenery in the distance.

His eyes covered in orc blood flashed in shock, and now at the foot of the mountain not far away, a team suddenly appeared.

"Reinforcements?" The thought crossed Chuck's head. When he saw exactly the Ferreton flag fluttering at the front of the line, he immediately shouted, "Reinforcements are coming!" Reinforcements are coming! Hold on, soldiers, victory will be ours! ”

The reason why the defenders of the fortress of Sevato have been able to fight until now and have not collapsed is simply because they know that if they don't fight, they will only die. Now the warriors who were in despair suddenly saw the Ferreton banner fluttering in the distance, and their hearts suddenly swelled with infinite hope.

However, they did not appear, and the condition of this sudden appearance of the Freedon army was not very good.

Everyone in the team was disgraced, as if they had just emerged from the mud - even the knights, who were usually the most image-oriented, brightly armoured. And this team is also very slow in front, and there are still many injured people behind. This is definitely not like the elite of the legion who have come from Princess Marlene or High Rock Castle to reinforce them.

But these details don't matter anymore. For the defenders of the fortress of Sevato, who were in despair, the sudden appearance of the Ferreton army was their only lifeline.

The morale of the human defenders also made the wolf cavalry look different. The orcs were also aware of the unidentified Feretton army that suddenly appeared behind them.

The cavalry commander made a decision. He gave up his intention to continue attacking the fortress, but turned his head, stepped down the slope, and then remounted the wolf to attack the Freedon army that had suddenly appeared.

No one knows why the orcs suddenly gave up the fruits of victory when they were about to storm the fortress. Maybe it's because of self-confidence, maybe it's the desire to defeat the merits of the two Ferreton armies in succession, or maybe it's just a hot head. These wolf cavalry didn't even send someone to inform the war warlord that the news of the new Feretton army had appeared, and they rushed into a swarm with bloodthirsty killing intent.

"Happy day blessed by the dragon god. I think this large area of wolf cavalry rushing over, as a holiday gift, must be very satisfying to your appetite. Gordon watched as the orcs hurriedly retreated from the dirt slope and mounted on the wolf.

"Mr. Gordon, I think you'd better use your sense of humor elsewhere." Viscount Demont smiled wryly and commanded his subordinates to act, transforming the long serpentine marching formation into a circle formation against cavalry charges.

Thanks to the initial stage of the legendary magic circle, under the reminder of Gordon, the evacuation was immediately launched, so the troops attacking the Black Spider Fortress entered the underground passage built by the dark elves in time, and finally avoided the collapse caused by the earthquake and buried alive in the dungeon.

Despite this, Viscount Demont's team also suffered no small losses.

Twenty-six horseless Templar Knights, sixty elite warriors, thirty-seven crossbowmen from Emerald City, ten Priests of the Dawn, and eight mages. That's all the power Viscount Demont can muster at his disposal now.

And Gordon's group, compared to the sixteen people who first entered the dungeon, now there are only eight people left.

Although small in number, this team was carefully selected to deal with the Three Holy Baptists, so when Viscount Demon gave the order, a circular formation dedicated to defending the cavalry was formed before the orcs mounted their mounts.

All the warriors were on the outermost side, the second layer was the crossbowmen, and the mages and priests, as well as the wounded, stayed in the innermost layer.

"Although this Ryujin Festival gift is a bit tricky, I'm still ready to accept it." Viscount Demont drew his pure gold sword, his face sinking like water. The bitter cold wind blew on the plains, bringing with it a strong smell of blood and wolf agitation.

"Na-U Lu F-Dina-1ien-Bu1a." Viscount Demont said.

This is a proverb of the Enno people, a nomadic people who live in the north all year round, which means: no matter how fierce the wolves are, they are no match for the lions.

Gordon glanced at Viscount Demont, who had a beard like a lion, and felt that this sentence was quite appropriate to describe him.

After linking the plans of the Three Holy Baptists with the news of the imminent invasion of the Orcs by the south, Gordon was ready to leave the dungeon and immediately prepare for the encounter with the Orc forces attacking the Great Wall of Anduin. And if the big enemy thinks that this small human force can easily eat it, I am afraid that it will pay the price.

After a fierce battle for the walls, the wolf cavalry, panting, wounded, and even with arrows stuck in their shoulders, led by their hot-headed captain, charged. Despite its poor condition, this cavalry unit, which only had 700 men left, still had an absolute advantage in terms of strength. Moreover, in the minds of these orcs, even in the face of a five-to-one numerical disadvantage, powerful orcs who are good at fighting can defeat weak humans, let alone this kind of shape now.

Victory will surely belong to the great orc god Guush!

When the distance between the two armies was about a hundred meters, the crossbowmen from Bishui City took the lives of nearly fifty wolf cavalry with their keen eyes and refined crossbows in their hands.

Although the orcs were taken aback by such a ranged attack of this intensity, they didn't take it seriously.

But when the distance was shortened to thirty meters, the real ruin came. (To be continued......)
