Chapter 15: The Orcs Attack
The desolate horn body blew the whole "God Bless" canyon, and the originally sunny sky was also dimmed by the sad atmosphere, and in the Nottingham wooden castle district, behind a wooden city gate, countless people stood on both sides of the street, all of them looked at the road with sad faces, looking at the corpses that were carried back on stretchers by the hook and sickle soldiers. However, it was not so much a corpse as a few corpse fragments, some of which were only left with a head, and some of which were only a hand, and only the fragments of light chain mail or leather armor clinging to the corpse could prove that these corpse fragments were members of the 3 Hobira Rangers in Sun Lin's army four hours ago.
Compared to the soft sobs in the crowd, at the gate of the city, a soldier wearing chain mail knelt on the ground, looking at the young man's head in his hand and weeping bitterly, and in the hoarse cry, one could only hear an intermittent name "Peel", and this soldier holding the corpse was the only surviving member of the three Hobira Rangers - Bobby.
In addition to sympathy, the eyes of the people looking at this disgraced Hobila Ranger were filled with a hint of gratitude, grateful to this Hobila Ranger for risking his life to send back to Nottingham the information that the Orc Legion was preparing to attack Nottingham Wooden Fort, so that the people of Nottingham could rebuild the defenses of various places before the Orc Legion advanced to the mouth of the canyon, and also thanked the other members of the Hobira Ranger for dragging the Orc Legion's forward force for more than 2 hours with their lives. If it weren't for these two hours, the orcs would have probably started attacking Nottingham Wooden Castle this afternoon, and the soldiers and civilians who had built the defenses outside the city would have been implicated.
"On the morning of May 4th, the Half-Orc Legion marched on Nottingham Wooden Fort for no reason, according to the surviving 1 Hobira Ranger, that is, first brought the Half-Orc Scout prisoner back to Nottingham Wooden Castle, and then led 2 teams of chainmail cavalry to the edge of the desert to join the original Hobira Ranger 1st, 2nd, and 3rd detachments to block the Half-Orc Legion Advance Army and successfully repelled it, Sergeant Bobby, who transported the corpses of the 3 Hobila Ranger soldiers back to Nottingham Castle, said that the current Half-Orc Legion Advance Army has lost more than 200 wolf horse slingers, and more than 100 wolf horse slingers have fled back to the enemy's main force. The number of orcs is between 4,000 and 6,000, including all the warriors of three small tribes and one large tribe, and it can be guessed from the fact that these orcs have bone artifacts made by the rat people of the original New Delhi peninsula, and it is very likely that this group of orcs came to avenge the New Delhi rat people. After long-range investigation, there are 3 types of troops in the Half-Orc Legion, the first is the sneak attack on the Hobirah Ranger Wolf Cavalry Slinger, which should be the reconnaissance force of the enemy legion, and the current number is about 200 to 300, the second is the Half-Orc basic combat soldiers, the Half-Orc Slinger, and the third is the Half-Orc Elite Unit, which is a half-orc hand-to-hand combat warrior led by the enemy commander and the clan leader, and the number is currently unknown. The Nottingham Wooden Fort was fully defended 2 hours ago, and there are currently 180 civilian crossbowmen, 120 hook and sickle soldiers, 80 chainmail cavalry, 360 spearmen, and Hobila Rangers............ 1 person, Your Excellency General, if the weapons in the warehouse are distributed to all the men in the city, we can also get more than 500 town militia, do you see if we are ..............." On the wooden city gate, Sun Lin was wearing armor and quietly looked at the scene under the city gate, and beside him, Captain Richard reported all the current combat strength of the enemy and us to Sun Lin one by one, and quietly waited for Sun Lin's instructions.
"Issuing weapons? Before that time, I believe that my troops will be able to keep those filthy slaves out of the city gates, and if weapons are issued now, I guess it will cause unrest in people's hearts, Richard, there are some things that cannot be seen on the surface, and those things that are hidden in the dark side must be read out before you decide, as long as you make a good commander............ That's right! Captain Richard, is the thing I told you to do done? ”
"Yes! The stones and hay are already laid out, and as soon as the orcs break through the mouth of the canyon, we will be able to burn them all to the ground after the orc army has advanced, and we have already placed all the traps on the winding mountain road, and I can guarantee that in tomorrow's battle, those orcs will not take a step forward, and they will taste the price of blood! ”
"Well, let's go, let's go and arrange tonight's mission, since the orcs have greeted us, let's not be rude, and we'll surprise them tonight."
"Yes!"
When Captain Richard went down from the city gate, Sun Lin, who was standing on the city gate, opened the task template that had been sealed for more than 2 months, because just today, Sun Lin received a new task.
"Ding! Discover the task and force the user to pick up the ............ in the task Mission generated! ”
