Volume 2 [Dark Tide] Chapter 534 Stage

"Tubek Fortress" is an inconspicuous small city in the outer defense line of Efta.

The entire fortress stands alone on the plain, and its area is not too large. After 3,000 people are packed in, it looks extremely crowded. The walls of this fortress are not high, and there are neither many arrow towers nor a wide moat. It seems to be one of the weakest fortresses in the entire defense line.

However, it was such a lonely castle that withstood the attack of the orcs for three consecutive days, and forced the opponent to retreat because there was no progress in the war.

The villagers who had retreated from the periphery of the city no longer panicked at the beginning. They just looked at the tall figure on the city wall, and they couldn't help but feel at ease—because when those enemies charged up the city wall, these civilians found that the so-called "strong man" The orcs" are not as tall as the soldiers guarding the city wall, and the screaming orcs were smashed by a group of big guys like steel cans before they even had time to fart...

Then the orcs retreated, and the world fell silent.

For three days, the civilians in the fort even thought the war was over, but after approaching the barracks near the city wall, they could still feel the chilling atmosphere. Whenever soldiers wearing silver light armor patrolled past, these civilians even lowered their voices unconsciously.

But the atmosphere inside the barracks was another extreme.

Because of the closed stone structure, the fortress is cold and cold all year round, so the most favorite thing for the soldiers on vacation is to bask in the sun when the sun is shining. They looked like animals that had just woken up from hibernation, and chatting under the warm sun had become a daily "compulsory course".

"Captain Davidian, do you think the orcs will come again?"

Taylor, a recruit who had just joined the army for three months, asked. He was diligently wiping David Ant's metal helmet with a rag, and the shiny light was dazzling in the sun.

"Come and hit,

If we don't come, let's rest, what else can we do? Davidian didn't even open his eyes, with a grass stalk in his mouth, "These greenskins came over four thousand and ran away after four or five hundred died. Are they planning to gather 10,000 people to attack our small fortress?" I see nothing. "

"Tsk, it's true what the captain said. That idiot seems to have nothing special except for his loud voice, and he will give it away for nothing."

Taylor is not boasting, he really has this feeling—although he has only trained for more than three months and fought three days of city defense, but now his mentality has changed from the initial uneasiness to calm...Without him, when Who would be afraid after he hacked to death more than a dozen of the most terrifying enemies in his mind?

There were also quite a few recruits beside him who echoed a few words. Seeing this group of recruits who had never been on the battlefield mature, Davidian felt quite a sense of accomplishment in his heart, but he still warned: "You group of stupid boys who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, really think that cutting If you kill a few orcs, you will be invincible? You don’t know those guys you met in the Silent Whispering Forest and Ice Plain, just come and kill us, it’s as easy as killing an ant..."

"Then you can only rely on Mr. Luo Di when you meet such a person?"

"That's not necessarily the case, look over there—" Davian pursed his lips, and the soldiers looked over, and could see three mages in robes sitting together and talking. Their clothes were in the same style as Karen Kingdom Quite different, it was the mages who came to support after Houdini and Rody reached an agreement.

It is precisely because of the existence of these mages that it was extremely easy to deal with the orc's siege a few days ago. Davidian pointed to the position of the command post again: "Master Soderol is too strong now. If you want me to say that the position of Efta's 'First Knight'...will give way soon."

"Captain Davidian, you said that our combat power is much stronger than the orcs, why don't we rush out to fight? I heard from the sentry boy that no one in Efta has taken the initiative to attack the orcs until now..."

Davidian spat the grass stalk aside: "Taylor, you have a lot of ideas? Come on, repeat what I emphasized to you when I joined the army?"

"Ah? I... that, it should be 'resolutely obey the orders of superiors'."

"So what else do you want, kid? Knight Titus is commanding this war. He can do whatever he says, understand? Master Soderol is more principled than anyone else, so please don't yell 'I want to rush Go out and kill the orcs', otherwise I don't care if you are dealt with by military law."

"Yes! I won't dare in the future..."

Time flies by in such a conversation. Wars are sometimes like this. After tense battles and near-death slashings, people always hope that there will be more incidents of relaxing regardless of worldly affairs.

However, the sudden assembly order made the barracks lively in an instant, and the clanging armor and weapons clashed into one piece. The originally scattered open space formed a neat team in the blink of an eye, and there was no sign of laziness at all.

Soderol's adjutant Pavini walked up to everyone with a long sword in his waist and hips, and said loudly:

"Level 1 combat readiness, the team leader will go to the command post to accept the task in half an hour, it's over!"

"Yes, sir!"

After the formulaic order and response, Pavini gave a military salute, and then said with a smile: "If you think your bones are itchy, you can compare who killed more orcs."

"Wow!"

Whistles and cheers sounded together. This atmosphere, which is completely different from all other knight troops, is probably unique to the entire Karen Kingdom. Davidian is also one of the adjutants, but he is in charge of the cavalry, while Pavigni is in charge of coordination and logistics, so he smiled and went forward to chat for a few words, and after learning that it was indeed an active attack, he immediately pulled his hand with a smile on his face. The hands went down to open the gamble.

Knowing that they were betting on who killed the most orcs, Pavini smiled, and then walked up to the three Rahiman mages and invited them to the command post for a discussion.

The four of them stepped into the cold and damp command post in the fortress. Due to the poor lighting, there are many grooves inside the command post for inserting torches, but now these positions are hung with Elson's special "spar" "Energy Lamp", illuminating the interior of the command post as bright as day.

The three mages are young and powerful. They were born in academic schools and have never experienced the cruelty of the battlefield. They originally looked down on this group of soldiers who only knew how to fight, but after the orcs were repelled consecutively, the three mages all Honestly put away that arrogance.

And when they entered the hall in the core area of ​​the command room, even the footsteps became lighter.

Anyone who has seen Soderol on the battlefield will feel awe in their hearts.

Neatly stacked documents are placed on the table, and a large and precise sand table is placed in the center of the room. All the details show that this general who sticks to the fortress is by no means a person who is blind to hearing and hearing. Suo Deluoer, who was dressed meticulously, was sitting in danger at this time, and when he looked over, he had already faintly brought pressure on the mages...

"Hollier City has given a new strategic goal, and the specific actions are for me to handle at my own discretion." Soderol pointed to the sand table and said softly: "Mage Houdini has sent the enemy's location, so... I I hope tonight's raid will continue to receive the support of several distinguished mages."

Without saying a word, the three mages bowed together and said: "This is our duty."

"With the help of the three mages, this raid must be successful."

Soderol's formulaic flattery, when he looked at the sand table, his originally calm eyes had already ignited a raging fighting spirit.

This is the stage where I can display my abilities...

*****

Just when Sauron was throwing a celebration banquet for his army to finally capture the two fortresses, the army rushing out of the night swung towards the camped orc army like a sickle of death.

Because of Efta's completely passive defense at the beginning of the war, the orcs already had a mindset: Humans would only hide and defend, and did not dare to attack hard.

So far in the war, there has been only one battle on the plain that was rescued by the Knights of Wellington. For the rest of the time, no matter how provocative the orcs were, the human soldiers would never step out of the fortress—this behavior also made the orcs' vigilance at night weaker and weaker, and at the same time, their defensive measures became more and more sloppy.

Among the entire orc army, only Sauron's guards used a well-defined shock-proof formation when camping. After the other orcs dispersed, they did not consider the impact of the camp layout on meeting the enemy at night. For the orcs of "Tacode Fort", they have lowered their vigilance to the lowest point with the walls as barriers.

The castle was taken because of its low walls and insufficient defenses. The orcs don't know how to maintain and repair the city wall at all, so at night they just send a small team to guard it carelessly and count it as a sentry. Most of the other orcs pounced on the women among the refugees in the city, venting their desires crazily one by one—as for Gru, the chief guard of the tribe who made a contribution, he directly
