PS: I would like to thank all the book friends who gave the monthly pass and reward support last month, and I guarantee that I will continue to update steadily this month. Some book friends said that the plot has been a bit slow recently, and I will speed up and strive to officially enter the plot of Baldur's Gate 1 in the middle and late months.

For the next two days, Zuvosa didn't mention joining the Blood Axe Mercenary Regiment, and the others happily added a partner they could trust. Except for checking the information sent back by the scouts every day, Henry spent the rest of the time in his room. He and Amy seized every second to make a magic potion and transcribe a scroll.

On the evening of the third day, Mayor Heim walked in with a grim face. "Count, those damned orcs have arrived. There were at least thirty-five thousand of them, and I saw at least one hundred and fifty giants. ”

Although Henry had already been mentally prepared, he couldn't help frowning when he heard this amount. "Now let's go to the city walls, it looks like everyone is going to spend the night there for the next few days."

Heim led the group down the street, the doors and windows of the houses on both sides closed. All the shops and taverns have ceased to close, and there is a sense of imminent war throughout the city.

Henry asked as he walked: "The food and reserves in the city are fine, I estimate that this siege is likely to last for a long time, the orcs have gathered such a large army, if they don't lose more than half, they will definitely not retreat lightly." ”

"All the grain from the farms around Sandaba has been concentrated in the underground warehouse, enough for the whole city to eat for half a year. Weapons, armor, and arrows don't need to be worried, and the dwarven artisans here produce a steady stream that can keep up with the rate of consumption by the army. After saying that, Heim looked at the pedestrians hurrying around him with worried eyes, once the city gate was breached, these civilians would definitely suffer a catastrophe.

There was nothing wrong with hearing about the supplies. Henry also breathed a sigh of relief. The most important thing in defending the city is that the supply is sufficient, as long as the east and west energy in the rear are continuously sent to the city wall, the orcs will definitely not be able to attack it by numbers alone. As for other special means, we can only wait for the time to see the tricks.

After ten minutes, the group finally climbed the city wall. Henry lay down beside the arrow tower and looked down, a large number of orcs growing outside the city to cut down trees, which were used to make all kinds of simple siege equipment in preparation for tomorrow's attack. Farther away, tents made of animal skins were erected, and the whole scene appeared to be in order. Much more disciplined than the orc tribe we saw last time in the hills.

"We're just waiting for them to build ladders and catapults to attack? Can't you send some people out and harass them, even if you can't destroy those things, you can delay the progress. The orc warrior said, pointing to the busy orc army below.

Heim shook his head sternly and rejected Vaughn's offer. "Surely you haven't fought the orcs here, and ordinary raids don't do anything at all. The long-term campaign has made these guys especially wary, and they have special scouts to keep an eye on the city. As long as the mage here rises into the air. There were a myriad of crossbows to aim at right away. ”

Henry estimated the enemy's workload and proposed his own proposal. "Follow the progress of these guys' work. The attack could begin by noon tomorrow at the latest. Today is the last calm night. Try to give all the soldiers a good rest. In the coming days, I am afraid that we will be greeted by a protracted war. Whoever can hold out until the end will be able to achieve the ultimate victory. ”

"I'll arrange these things, and you guys should go back and rest early. Once the opposing caster joins the fight, it's up to you whether or not they can hold it. With that, Heim began to arrange for the guards on duty, and let all the others go back to the barracks to sleep.

Just as Henry and his party rushed back to their lodgings to get ready to rest. In the orc camp outside the city, an interesting scene is happening. Sam was half-kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, giving in to Sim as he sat in his chair. He knew the character of the guy sitting in the chair very well. As long as you are a little disrespectful, it is very likely to cause unnecessary suspicion. It's bad for the next plan.

Sim is a one-eyed warrior, even more powerful than Sam. His blind eye was gouged out by his own hands during a special ceremony. Only a very small number of orc warriors who wield two-handed axes had a chance to qualify like this. At the celebration of the orc god "Guush", they sacrificed one of their own eyes and could not make a single sound during the whole process, otherwise they would fail.

Successful people receive great benefits, they can feel their surroundings without using their eyes, and they also have the special ability to go berserk, and even the saliva that comes out of their mouths can temporarily blind the eyes of their enemies. But the loser will lose one of his eyes forever and will never be able to perform such a ritual again.

Sim looked at Sam with that one-eyed, he had recruited the legendary warrior many times, but each time he was rejected. Today this guy came here unusually, saying that his clan was ruined by a group of adventurers, and then he wanted to be his own subordinate and contribute to the attack on Sandaba. I have to say that this is so suspicious that it is comparable to the asympathic adventure story in the mouth of a bard.

After thinking about it for a long time, Sim finally decided to accept it first, after all, legendary warriors are too rare, especially for the orcs who have been fighting for years, each one is very precious. And this time he also caught up with a soul shaman of a high level, no matter how you look at this kind of thing, it is a sure win.

"Rise up, Tham, I accept your allegiance. Rest assured, as long as those adventurers are in the city, they will definitely not be able to run. When you catch these guys, you can leave them to you at your disposal. ”

Thamm secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and the first level of the plan had finally passed. If things really go as smoothly as they do today, then Sim's current position will soon be his.

"Thank you very much for taking us two homeless orcs to find a place to live. As a token of gratitude, I hope to give me a group of men during the siege tomorrow, and then give a good look at the weak humans and dwarves on the city walls.

Sim stopped him with a wave of his hand. "There's no need, I've got a secret weapon ready. The attack a few days ago was just a test, and after these guys in the city let their guard down, another surprise attack came and caught them off guard. When the time comes, this castle, which claims to never fall, will become our cyst. ”

When Sam heard the words secret weapon, he subconsciously glanced at Kerks, who was standing next to him. The latter shook his head slightly, then made a sneaky gesture of calmness.

"As you wish, if there is nothing to do, I will go down and rest first, if there is anything needed, please feel free to ask."

Sim got up from his chair and pointed to the tent not far away, and said, "It will be given to you as a place to rest for a while, and sleep well, and tomorrow I will wait to see how my army will attack the city." ”

The two men bowed, and one turned and walked towards the tent. Thamm looked back and didn't notice anyone following him, and asked in a low voice, "What could that so-called secret weapon be?" He looks like he's confident? ”

The old orc shook his head and replied, "It's hard to say, but I have a hunch that his plan won't go too smoothly, after all, it's okay to hold the city wall with the help of those adventurers." ”

"It's better not to go wrong, or the two of us will never have a chance to turn over." Thamm muttered as he slipped into the tent, and soon the two of them had each found a deerskin cushion to sleep underneath them.

Amid the noise of the orcs, the night passed quickly. At dawn the next day, Henry led everyone in the direction of the east gate, where he had a hunch that this would be the main attack of the enemy. Due to the overnight production of siege weapons, the orcs did not attack immediately. They all went back to the camp and slept all morning, and only after lunch did they begin to slowly approach the city gate with the ladder and the hammer.

Heim calmly commanded his soldiers to prepare with bows and javelins, and as soon as the enemy came into attack, he fired and threw a dense round. At the same time, a large number of soldiers were placed at the gate of the city, and they held the logs and stared hard at the steel gate to prevent it from being knocked open by the battering ram.

Hyung dipped his fingers in a little spittle and reached into the air to feel the direction and speed of the wind. Today's weather is favorable for the defense of the city, and the wind is blowing in the opposite direction. Soon, the orcs held a wooden shield that was full of height and stepped into the attack range of the arrow tower. The archers standing on the high ground began to shoot, using magic arrows to match ordinary arrows, and in the blink of an eye, the men who rushed ahead suffered heavy casualties.

The orcs quickly dispersed after entering the firing range, and they quickly formed siege echelons in units of hundreds. The centurion shouted to the man with the ladder, and soon more than forty ladders were placed, and all the warriors began to climb up desperately. At the same time, bows and arrows in the distance began to be hurled at the walls, completely ignoring whether they would be injured by mistake.

Seeing this, Henry immediately blessed himself with a third-level magic "protective long-range weapon". Arrows falling from the sky were spread out by invisible magical stands. He sneered when he saw that the other party was not followed by a priest, and aimed at the guy below and released three second-level magic "stinky cloud techniques" in a row.

A large area of disgusting stench quickly dispersed with the speed of the wind, and most of the orcs began to vomit incessantly, and the rest could only hold their breath for the time being. Seeing this, the soldiers defending the city immediately began to counterattack. They killed or pushed down any enemies that climbed up, then grabbed the javelins next to them and threw them down, and soon the defenseless orcs were slaughtered, and the first attack failed. (To be continued......)
