Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 6 There is no need to be moral in fighting the orcs

Draw your bow and aim for ......

It was the first time for Shino to fiddle with a bow and arrow, and both the movement and posture of the start were unnatural. Slightly concentrating, and then as soon as the hand was released, the arrow immediately came out of the string, far away...... I don't know where it flew.

The endless glaciers are covered with snow all year round, and biting cold winds blow all year round. It is basically impossible to go out hunting with a bow and arrow, and even the best archers are helpless, because the wind is too strong. When an arrow is fired, it is not surprising to fly to the target, but it is common to fly backwards and backwards! As a result, the inhabitants of the Endless Glacier do not use long-range weapons very much, and at most use their spears to make a cameo appearance with a javelin.

Shino stopped immediately after firing an arrow. I know what level I have, and it's not now to practice. Moreover, two more mountain people climbed the town wall, and the bow and arrow suppression was handed over to them, and Sino did not waste arrows.

With the bow and arrow support of the hunters, the guards blocking the town gate immediately gained the upper hand.

The first to suffer were the orcs. They are tall and large, and as soon as they approach the town gate, they attract multiple bows and fires. After one or two rounds of shooting, the orc was not lightly injured even if he did not fall. Then they had to face several rows of guns.

The goblins who charged with the orcs didn't take advantage of anything. Especially the group around the orcs, the arrows that missed the orcs fell on their heads. Goblins are far inferior to orcs, orcs can get several arrows in their bodies without falling, while goblins will inevitably lose their combat effectiveness as long as they are hit by one arrow.

After leaving behind more than thirty goblin corpses and nearly ten orc corpses, the offensive at the town gate collapsed. Seeing that they could not break through the defensive line formed by the guards, the orcs retreated. Without the orcs taking the lead, the goblins scattered and fled.

"Move fast! Whole column, whole column! โ€

Repelled a wave of attacks, and Tom Sr. immediately seized the opportunity to adjust his team.

After the fierce battle, almost all the guards at the town gate were wounded. Several of them were seriously injured, all by orcs. Orcs generally have heavier weapons, and they are often injured by their shields when they wield them vigorously.

The seriously wounded guards were dragged directly away and arranged in the houses behind. They have lost their ability to fight, and it is difficult to say whether they will survive or not. In order not to affect morale, seriously injured guards should not stay on the scene as much as possible. The lightly wounded guards were transferred to the back row, bandaged those who could be bandaged, and those who could stop bleeding stopped bleeding. The unwounded soldiers moved forward and formed a regrouped array in the first row.

The sound of horses' hooves came from the other side of the town gate. Looking back, a group of heavily armed cavalry appeared in front of him.

The horsemen were uniformly dressed in blue-gray half-body armor, armed with spears and large shields, and some of them carried longbows. They were the Misty Cavalry stationed in the town.

The cavalry at the head looked slightly older than Fang Qiuling, with a thick beard on his face. He wore a blue-gray cloak and a long sword around his waist. Seeing the arrival of the Wuxi cavalry, a shout rang out at the scene.

"Lord Rivers!"

"Master Rivers is here!"

The knight known as Rivers clearly has a lot of prestige in Lakesprings.

"Rivers?"

Fang Qiuling had a little impression of this surname. Lowering the bow in his hand, his gaze lingered slightly on the knight's face, and then turned to the coat of arms on the left chest of the inner body armor.

Rivers' bust has a coat of arms on the left chest. The coat of arms is very simple, with staggered swords and round shields, a simple ornament and a three-petaled rose. The staggered sword and round shield are the "Shield of Calthas", a simple ornament that refers to the lowest knighthood; The three-petaled rose flower represents the Mist Lake area. Taken together, it means the lower-level military nobles in the Misty Lake area. This is an official knighthood that can be recorded by the Heraldic Academy.

However, if there are no merits that can be recognized, achievements in any field, merit, then the military nobility can only last for three generations, and the nobility ranks are decreasing from generation to generation. After the Twilight War, Karthas lived in peace for nearly thirty years, and the king did not reward new nobles for military merit. Rivers is also relatively young, and it is impossible for him to have participated in the Twilight War. Therefore, his title of military nobility should have come from his father or grandfather.

Because it is already the lowest level of knighthood, it cannot be lowered again. Therefore, if Rivers can't get enough merit to be recognized by the Heraldic Academy, then the noble title of the Rivers family will end in his generation.

The Misty Lakes region, to which Lakesprings belongs, is a remote frontier in Kartass. Because it is adjacent to the deciduous forest and is infested with orcs all year round, it was contemptuously called the "orc's foot bath" by the nobles of Serradia. Lord of the Lake of Mist region, Count DeHarus, is also disdainfully known as the "Old Groom".

The boss is despised, so most of the knights under his command don't have a good reputation. This guy seems to have a nickname, which seems to be called ...... "Groom's Greyhound". The reason is that he is extremely good at rush warfare, and in the first Kuroshio War, he led the Wuxi cavalry to intersperse with Mamo's army many times, buying a lot of time for the evacuation of the people in the Misty Lake area. It has a good reputation among players.

Rivers immediately assumed command of the scene upon his arrival. He was one of the mid-level commanders of the Wuxi cavalry, and his military rank was much higher than that of the town guards, so it was only natural for him to take over the defense.

"Daddy Tom, thank you!" Rivers immediately found Old Tom among the guards, "I'll go out and rush for a while, and I'll leave it to you here." โ€

Old Tom and Rivers are also close friends. When he first started training, Fang Qiuling had met Rivers several times, and he would bring wine every time.

Old Tom didn't shirk either, and immediately agreed: "Okay, no problem!" Also, leave two horses down, and this door has to find a way to pull it up! โ€

If the gap in the town gate can be blocked at this moment, the guards of Lakespring Town will be able to rely on the town wall to defend, and even if there are more goblins outside the town, they will not be afraid. Erecting the gates of the town to the end is a matter of urgency.

Rivers immediately decided: "The archers dismount!" โ€

"Yes!"

Four shooters in the cavalry immediately dismounted.

"All over the town wall, guard here!"

With another promise, the four archers rolled over and climbed the walls to join the hunters.

"The first team is to the left, the second team is to the right, and the wings are outflanked! Everyone, kill the enemy with me! โ€

"Kill!"

As the Misty Cavalry shouted in unison, Rivers rushed out of the town first, followed by more than twenty cavalrymen.

As the Foggy Cavalry left, Old Tom's shouts rang out from under the town walls.

"Be vigilant in the front row, don't move casually! The action behind is fast, rope, go find the rope! And support! Move fast! Fast! โ€

With the help of horses, the guards struggled to pull up the wooden gate and raise it little by little. Seeing this, the townspeople in the vicinity came to help.

Fang Qiuling's attention was briefly focused for a while, and then his attention turned to the outside of the town.

Amid the constant roaring and beating of the six or seven orcs, the goblins who had fled in all directions ran for a while and then gradually gathered again. Led by the orcs, the Greenskins are once again heading towards the town. And this time they were facing the oncoming cavalry.

Cavalry is the king of cold weapons, and when cavalry lines up to charge, even veterans of a hundred battles will feel weak.

"Kill!"

With a burst of cheers, Rivers took the lead in the attack.

Goblins are less than half the height of a normal horse. In the face of cavalry charges, they are helpless like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Knocked into the air, trampled by horses, stabbed to death by cavalry spears, the Greenskins collapsed again after only one round of charge. This time, no matter how the orcs roared, how they beat them, and even hacked several goblins to death, they couldn't stop them from escaping again.

At the same time, several roars were heard in the town. In the midst of shouts, several green figures burst out of the alley.

"There are orcs in the back, in the back!"

In a terrible scream, the wooden town gate, which had been raised by nearly a third, collapsed again, and the townspeople who helped dispersed in a hurry, and the originally neat array of town guards became a little more chaotic.

The presence of an enemy behind the battlefield will undoubtedly shake the will of the soldiers, and this is when it depends on the courage and determination of the commander.

It is unknown whether Old Tom is a good commander or not, but his voice immediately resounded throughout the entire guard array: "Steady!" Steady! The first and second rows do not move! The third row is with me! โ€

As Old Tom spoke, nearly ten guards in the third row turned around and formed a formation around him.

The town guards are all equipped with spears and round shields. In daily training, formation training is the core. As soon as they hear about the formation and formation, they instinctively take action.

The orcs ran out of the alley without stopping for the slightest, and immediately ran towards the town gate. They roared loudly as they ran. Although there were only four orcs, their momentum overshadowed the town guards of nearly thirty people.

The leader orc has red skin and is stronger than the other orcs. He held a weapon in each hand. In his right hand he holds an iron hammer, which is supposed to be a blacksmith's hammer for striking iron; In the left hand, he holds a round shield, which should be leather, judging by the style and color of the round shield.

"Archers! Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Shoot that redskin first! โ€

Old Tom apparently sensed that this orc was not easy to deal with, so he immediately called the shooter and the hunter to concentrate the attack. At the command of his order, a rain of arrows immediately shot from the town wall.

Hunters use homemade hunting bows, which are relatively soft and easy to draw, but have a small range and little power. The shooter used a standard military longbow, which was long and stiff, and had a longer range and greater power than a hunting bow, but was more laborious to draw.

The rain of arrows formed by the two bows shooting together is uneven, some fast and some slow. The leading orc simply raised his shield and blocked the first round of shots unharmed. And before the archers and hunters could draw their bows and arrows again, he sped into the array of guards.

There was a muffled sound of "bump". The leather shield in the hands of the red-skinned orcs blocked the spear's attacks one after another, and slammed into the array. The guards who faced the onslaught immediately let out a scream and took a few steps back. The guard's shield was fine, but his arm could be seen twisted into a strange shape, apparently broken.

The guards' array was broken in an instant.

Seeing this, Fang Qiuling immediately put away the bow in his hand and drew the long sword at his waist.

"Shino, can you deal with one?"

"No problem, my lord."

"Okay, I'll suppress them. You see the opportunity! โ€

"Yes, my lord!"

The two jumped off the town wall.

In the blink of an instant, another guard screamed and exited the array. He was hit with a blow in the chest, and a large chunk of his chest could be seen hollowing out, and blood was constantly pouring out of his mouth. Not surprisingly, it should have been a broken rib that was inserted into the lung.

Shooters and hunters shoot a second round of arrows. Since the distance is much closer, the accumulation of shots has achieved a certain effect. The three orcs except the red-skinned orcs were all hit by arrows, but they used their arms to protect their faces and cover their vital points, and the arrows hit the thickest part of their arms, causing no effective damage.

The orc who was hit by the arrow pulled it out, dropped it, and leaped to his feet with a roar. As soon as they rush into the array of guards, the archers will have some scruples and will not dare to shoot, then the victory will be theirs!

But what the orcs didn't expect was that they were greeted with a clear drink.

โ€œOas๏ผโ€

The air in front of the orcs suddenly swelled, and then there was a muffled "boom". It was as if a hurricane had hung up at the scene, and the earth, stones, and dust swelled outward for a moment, and then fell one after another. The three orcs seemed to have received a blow head-on, and instead of advancing and retreating, they flew out upside down screaming.

Fang Qiuling's figure appeared on the path of the orcs. He clenched his left hand into a fist and pointed forward, and the Storm Ring on his index finger lit up briefly, but now it was fading.

The loud noise silenced the area around the town gate, and even the red-skinned orcs in the middle of the battle couldn't help but stop and watch.

Shino's figure crept out of the shadows at some point, and the orc at the end only felt a chill in his throat, and then it became difficult to breathe. He clutched his throat in vain, trying to press down on the wound. But there was no objection to this, and blood continued to seep from his fingers. After a while, he was out of breath.

Then came a second orc, the dagger flying from the shadows and pinning it to his throat, ending his life. This was followed by a third ......

"Damn humans!"

The successive deaths of their companions made the red-skinned orcs furiousโ€”just a mere human who dared to kill a strong orc! He abandoned the guards who were close at hand, and jumped up with all his strength to attack Fang Qiuling. As he jumped, he waved his hand and threw the leather shield in his hand.

Fang Qiuling turned sideways slightly, and the leather shield flew past him with a whistling voice. He then spun sideways, dodging the red-skinned orc's onslaught as he swung his back with the whirling force.

The sword arced gracefully, leaving a deep wound on the red-skinned orc's back.

With one successful blow, Fang Qiuling did not take advantage of the situation to expand the results of the battle, but shortened to avoid the orc's backhand counterattack, and then rushed forward a few steps to open up the distance. As expected, there was a muffled sound of a hammer falling to the ground behind him. If he hadn't distanced himself, the blow would have undoubtedly fallen on him.

Fang Qiuling turned around and slashed his sword to his chest. The red-skinned orc also turned around and raised the hammer in his hand. Their eyes collided, and the orcs attacked first.

With great force, the red-skinned orc swung his hammer and slammed it head-on without any fancy fancy. Fang Qiuling fought and retreated, and the long sword was mainly stabbed, constantly attacking it to save it. After a few moves, Fang Qiuling was obviously at a disadvantage, and retreated to a dead end.

"Die!"

Only Fang Qiuling was left in the red-skinned orc's gaze. The hammer was raised high and was about to be smashed, when suddenly my heart was cold, and the power that I had always been proud of instantly dissipated, and the hammer in my hand became extremely heavy. He turned his head with difficulty, only to see a short hooded figure standing behind him.

The diminutive figure held a dagger in his hand. The dagger was bright red, and droplets of blood kept sliding down it.

- Whose blood is that?

Such doubts appeared in the minds of the red-skinned orcs. The next moment he fell to the ground.
