Chapter 581 Sleepless Night

Because they brought a large number of siege weapons this time, the team of more than 10,000 people did not move very fast. They were also bombed by Li Yuanhong's drones several times. However, whether these drones were missile attacks or The bomb attacks were easily resolved by the superpowers of the orc generals. Of course, Li Yuanhong sent not many drones, only four or five at a time, so the attack density was not high, which allowed the orcs to deal with it easily.

The team walked for most of the day before they saw the human city in the lake from a distance. However, at this time, the sun was setting and only the outline of the city could be seen in the distance. Although the entire city looks very majestic with high-rise buildings, to the orcs, such flimsy buildings cannot withstand their impact.

"General Tiger, is this the city you said defeated you? Such a weak defense is simply a delicious meal prepared for us cannibals!" the ogre leader said to the Tiger General.

The tiger general naturally understood that this was the ogre leader's deliberate attempt to ridicule him, but the tiger man endured it, because he was now a single man with no soldiers under his command. Now the tiger man was simply a toothless tiger. The ogre leader can be as sarcastic as he wants. However, the tiger general would never tell the arrogant ogre leader that he was ambushed, otherwise the other party would use this matter to ridicule him again.

Seeing the tiger general bowing his head and saying nothing, the cannibal leader nodded with satisfaction. He finally tamed this unruly tiger. Next, as long as he easily captures this city, he can intimidate the entire orc clan.

"Give me a siege engine, and we will completely crush this city early tomorrow morning!" The cannibal leader glanced at the darkening sky. Although the orcs' eyesight in the dark is not as strong as that of humans, they must be stronger. Most races still have good vision during the day, and accidental injuries may occur at night, so the cannibal leader is preparing to launch an attack early the next morning.

Night slowly enveloped the land, and everything returned to calm. Only the lights of the city and the torches in the orc camps could still give the land a glimmer of light.

However, just when the orcs were about to rest, a sharp and harsh sound suddenly came from the air, and then an explosion sounded in the camp. This explosion made all the orc soldiers who had just been lying down jump up. Could it be that the enemy was sneaking into the camp? ?

The cannibal leader was also shocked. He never thought that humans would come to attack the camp.

"What happened? What happened?" the cannibal leader quickly asked the guard at the door.

"Reporting to the leader, the enemy fired a shell, but it did not hit our camp. It exploded a few hundred meters outside the camp." the soldier reported back.

"What? Can the enemy's artillery fire reach this far? No, notify all troops immediately and retreat one kilometer!" The place where the cannibal leader is stationed is five kilometers away from the city. He doesn't think human artillery fire can reach this far. But reality taught him a lesson, but humans didn't know that only one shell was fired and there was no movement.

The entire orc army was shaken by a cannonball, and began to retreat back one kilometer, and then set up camp again. They struggled for more than an hour, and it was already close to twelve o'clock in the morning.

After making arrangements to patrol the camp, the cannibal leader lay on the bed again, preparing to take a nap before getting up and attacking the human camp.

However, twenty minutes before the cannibal leader lay down, another loud noise exploded in his camp.

"Guard, guard, what happened this time?" The cannibal leader was so frightened that he suddenly jumped out of bed.

"Report to the leader, a catapult we placed in front of the camp was suddenly bombed." The guard said hurriedly.

"What? You are a bunch of trash! Tomorrow we will have to rely on these trebuchets to attack the city. If you don't keep a good watch on me, if there is another problem with the engineering vehicle, then your heads will be in trouble." The cannibal leader said angrily.

"But...but we don't know why the engineering vehicle exploded?" the orc guard said aggrievedly.

"Give me more manpower. Also, move the engineering vehicle inside the village first. This time I'll see how those damn humans can destroy it!" the cannibal leader roared.

"Yes!" The guard quickly agreed, and then went down to make arrangements.

The cannibal leader angrily walked back and forth in the tent for a long time. It was not until the guard came back to report that everything was arranged, that he lay down on the bed and prepared to rest.

Unexpectedly, not long after he lay down, a sudden loud noise exploded in his camp. The sound was very loud and accompanied by the faint light of fire. This directly shook the cannibal leader from the bed to the bottom of the bed.

"Guard, guard, what happened this time?" the cannibal leader got up from the ground and asked quickly.

"Report...report to the leader, something serious has happened!" The guard ran in in a panic this time.

"What happened? So panicked." Seeing the guard's panic, the cannibal leader had a premonition that something was wrong.

"The leader, the engineering truck and the granary were all... bombed together!" the guard replied in panic.

"What? What happened?"

"Didn't you order us to move the engineering vehicle into the stockade? So we moved to the vicinity of the most heavily defended granary. Who knew that the siege vehicle had exploded again just now? Not only did it blow up the siege vehicle, it also took out the granary. It’s on fire!”

"Waste, what a waste. Why are you still standing here? Why don't you hurry up and put out the fire! If we can't save the granary, I'll eat you for breakfast tomorrow morning!" The cannibal leader almost yelled these words.

When the guard heard this, he was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground. He quickly said "yes" and then rushed towards the fire scene. He must keep the granary, otherwise his end will come.

After more than an hour of struggling, the fire was finally put out, and most of the entire granary was burned down. There was enough food to feed more than 10,000 people for three days, but now only less than one day was left.

"Trash... rice bucket, are all your superpowers just for show? You, the leader of the Leopard Clan, don't you usually claim that your style and magic are as pure as fire? Why didn't a gust of wind blow out the fire today?" The big leader said He said angrily, naming and blaming.

The named captain of the Leopard Clan had actually tried to use wind power to extinguish the fire. Unfortunately, the flames grew stronger and stronger. The granary suffered such heavy losses, and half of the credit goes to the leader of the Leopard Clan.

Knowing that he had done something wrong, the Leopard clan leader had no choice but to lower his head and remain silent. Then the big leader criticized several captains by name, and then asked people to reorganize the remaining grain, and then prepared to send people back to transport the grain again.

After this torment, more than two hours have passed, and it is now three o'clock in the morning. This time the cannibal was lying on the bed again. This time he didn't dare to sleep properly for fear of something happening again.

Two hours later, the sky gradually became brighter, and the horn of the horn was blown in the camp. The cannibal leader had no choice but to stand up with big black circles under his eyes. As a result, as soon as the cannibal leader left the camp, he found that the entire camp was lifeless.

"Guard, the wake-up call has been blown, why haven't you seen the soldiers come out yet?"

The guard hurriedly said: "Big boss, it's like this. The soldiers were too tired from fighting the fire last night, so many of them haven't gotten up yet."

"What? This is too outrageous. This is the army, not someone's hot bed. Get these lazy pigs up quickly. If anyone dares to be lazy, military law will be enforced!" The leader of the cannibals felt that since he came to the lake, this situation has happened. His temper never broke.

The guard quickly agreed and went to deliver the order. In fact, the guard was very dissatisfied. Yesterday, the cannibal leader was just gesticulating and did nothing. Those who did the work were the big soldiers like them. In the end, they were exhausted. Half dead, it is not allowed to rest for a while in the morning, but they are cannon fodder for charging and fighting in a while!

The cannibal leader completely ignored the sad eyes of the guards. He only needed to attack the human city as planned, and then capture the entire city in one fell swoop. Capture all those who dared to play tricks on his own humans, and then use them as his own food reserves. Let them enjoy what it means to face the fear of death.

When the team gathered together, the cannibal leader discovered that all his soldiers had dark circles under their eyes. Not to mention, these people were listless and had no sense of strength.

How to fight in such a state? So the cannibal leader ordered the chef to cook all the remaining fresh meat and distribute it to the soldiers. The cannibal leader also knew that if the soldiers were not fed at this time, he would not be able to charge after a while. .

After breakfast, these soldiers looked decent. At least they were energetic. Moreover, in the morning light, their helmets were bright and their weapons were shining brightly. This was exactly how they should behave when killing the enemy. This time the cannibal leader Nod with satisfaction.

"Captain of the Leopard Tribe, your team will explore the road ahead in a moment to prevent the enemy from setting up traps. Also, pay attention to detecting the movements of the enemy city." The cannibal leader said to the Leopard Tribe Captain.

"Yes!" The leader of the Leopard clan followed the order.

"The remaining captains will follow me behind. Once it is confirmed that the enemy is not ambushing the front, we will immediately launch a full-scale attack and do not give humans a chance to breathe."

The other orc captains also agreed.

In the end, the General of the Tiger Clan was left. This bare-bones commander had no troops to lead. The leader of the cannibals arranged for him to guard the camp. The General of the Tiger Clan had no objections to this arrangement and happily accepted it.

Everything was arranged, and the orc army was about to launch an attack on the human city. The cannibal leader was responsible for pressing the remaining five siege vehicles that could still be used and approaching the human city.

There is always mist in the early mornings of autumn, especially on this lake, which is even more foggy. When the cannibal leader led his army of orcs to approach the lake, he always felt that something was wrong. Everything here was too quiet, just like here No one is the same at all.

At this time, the captain of the Leopard clan came back: "Chief, we have already investigated and there are no traps on the shore, but..."

The Leopard Clan captain pondered for a moment but did not say anything.

"But what?" the cannibal leader asked impatiently.

"But... I don't seem to have found the shadow of a human city in the lake." The Leopard clan leader said hesitantly.
