The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-Earth

Chapter 281 The General’s Shirt Is Stained with Blood From the Soldiers!

"Here... block them!" Renault's eyes flashed coldly. He promised Roland that he would protect this place. Keeping his promise is the way of a knight!

"Order the soldiers! Abandon the outer wall! The middle wall! We guard the inner wall!" Renault said in a serious tone.

"Okay!" Apophis Breo frowned, but he did not intend to refute the general's opinion.

There are three layers of walls inside Lulong Fortress, with a height difference of up to 50 meters on each layer! Eight Death Dragon Towers are arranged on the 150-meter-high inner wall! Due to lack of manpower, Renault had no choice but to abandon the outer and middle walls. As long as he put down the Dragon Breaking Stone in the passage, even a sixth-level man would not be able to break through the passage and enter the fortress! After all, the dragon-breaking stone in Lulong Fortress is made of pure mithril. The several tons of mithril are engraved with defensive magic circles and forbidden magic circles. Even if the sixth level comes, you will have to go back crying!

"Want to take this place? Pay with your life!" Renault sat on the city wall and looked into the distance without caring.

"What happened?" Hearing the noise, Nyx ran out holding up her skirt.

"Your Highness, the south has been invaded by orcs! They have almost arrived at Lulong Fortress!" Yun Feng turned to look at Nyx, caressing his chest and saluted. What he didn't say was that this news was already half a day ago.

"This? There are not enough soldiers in Lulong Fortress! Lavian! You quickly lead the knights and heavy cavalry to support!" Nyx's tone left no room for doubt.

"Wait! Your Highness! These soldiers are used to protect Rapid River City! It's not appropriate to send them there!" Yun Feng immediately refused after hearing this.

"I didn't discuss it with you! Without Roland, I am the mistress of the country! I order you in the name of Grand Duke Nyx! Queen Lagrand! Send troops to support! The knight's battlefield is in the wilderness, not the city wall!" His face was flushed with anger.

"Your Highness...it's too late! The news came half a day ago! We can only believe General Renault now!" Yun Feng explained with a wry smile.

"Even if reinforcements arrive late, it's better than being alone!" Nyx was unmoved.

"But we need cavalry to gather the scattered people! We can't ignore the people of the kingdom!" Yun Feng gritted his teeth and said, no matter what, the only two remaining established cavalry in the kingdom cannot be moved! Even if nothing can be done, he will still use these two cavalry to open a way out for everyone.

"Hmph! Damn it!" Nyx punched the table, and it took a while for Nyx to regain his breath.

"Go! Inform the White Wing King in Los Sanil in Akvia! Tell them to be on guard against enemies!"

"Light another beacon! Ask for help from Gushan and Gushan!"

"Lavian, listen to the order! Coordinate the entire city's cavalry! Lead them to bring our people back!"

"Hollin! Go tell the men and horses that the orcs are coming! If you don't want to die, take refuge in Rapid City! Their forest can't stop the orc army!" Nyx gave the order.

Yun Feng looked thoughtfully at the powerful Grand Duchess from the side. Looking at her hands that trembled slightly from time to time, she could tell that the current Nyx was just a fierce person but a weak person. She pretended to be calm and strong, but she was just stable. It’s just the human heart.

Yun Feng admired in his heart. He was worthy of being a high-ranking noble of the empire. It was already great to be able to quickly calm people's hearts in a crisis! At least in the absence of the king, it is not easy for a woman to do this.

"Ahem! Marcus! Arrange the city defenses. We can't rule out the possibility of those orcs bypassing Lulong Fortress to attack us." Yun Feng coughed dryly and helped Nyx fill in the most important part she had missed. .

"Don't worry! Your Highness, I will give the king a complete city! Everyone will be safe and sound!" Marcus saw the fear and panic in Nyx's eyes, and he beat his chest and promised.

"Even if the city is really destroyed... I will take you to a safe place! This is the task he left me." Yun Feng clenched his fists and said silently in his heart.

"Haha! Who can tell me! Where did these orcs come from? Are the orcs in Dol Guldur a type of rat? Can't they be killed?" Looking at the army of orcs numbering in the tens of thousands, Renault smiled dryly. one time.

[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.]

"What a crime!" Renault casually dropped the dog's tail grass he was chewing and turned around indifferently.

"Order all the arrow towers to prepare to attack! We will fight them here!" A voice like that from Jiuyou sounded from Renault's throat.

"For home! For kingdom! For glory!" Apophis Breo raised his sword and shouted, and everyone's emotions were immediately aroused.

"brush!"

"brush!"

Sparse but precise arrows shot out from the fortress, and the dense army of orcs was immediately wiped away like an invisible eraser. A large number of orcs fell to the ground, making the dense phalanx look a bit messy.

"Raise the shield!" the orc leader roared, and the densely packed wooden shield was poured up and lifted up.

"The killing effect is not very good!" Apophis Breo frowned.

"Keep the firing rate up! Pay attention to clearing the siege equipment!" Renault ordered coldly.

"Okay!" Apophis Breo nodded. After all, his combat experience was not as rich as Renault's, and he still needed to learn from Renault.

"Crack~" The charcoal burning in the brazier emits a warm light, driving away the last bit of coolness in the summer night.

"How is it? I'm asking about the casualties!" Renault sat silently in the corner away from the brazier.

"It's nothing serious. The injured soldiers have been treated by the priests and are all fine now! We can fight again tomorrow!" Apophis Breo said.

"Well..." Renault raised his head and looked at the wilderness of Qihe and fell into silence.

"General, why are you... wearing a blue cloak?" Apophis Breo could only find some topic to break the awkward atmosphere between the two.

"Huh?" Renault turned his head and looked at Apophis Breo's shoulder. The red cloak made him look heroic, and the aura of a noble officer was written on his face.

"Humph~" Renault sneered.

"The general's shirt is stained with blood from the soldiers! I wear blue to keep it clean!" After finishing speaking, Renault turned his head and looked into the night without saying anything.

"Alas... One general's success leads to the destruction of thousands of bones. I know the story of the Battle of the Restoration. I don't blame you for not saving them!" Apophis Breo sighed and comforted.

"They followed my call and joined the battle. To be honest in that battle... I overstepped my bounds! Those rushing infantry should not have died!" Renault raised his head and looked up at the stars with a long sigh.

"At that time, we were very poor... we had no fixed place to live, and we were at home all over the world! His Highness wanted to take us back to our homeland..." Renault's voice was deep and long, as if it came from eternity.

"We signed a contract with the dwarves and we need that money!"

"Later... the war broke out! An epic battle! Tens of thousands of people fought together. At that moment... His Highness flinched. He didn't want us to become victims, but I knew we couldn't leave. Our lips were broken and our teeth were cold. Those lost glory and The faith of our knights and the commission that was enough to restore our country! constantly reminded me that it was time to join the war! I raised my arms and shouted, encouraging His Highness..."

"We entered the war! We also won! But the infantry never saw the moment when Rapid City stood..."

"Do you regret it?" Apophis Breo suddenly asked.

"Regret? Why? The moment we took up arms, the final outcome was already doomed! For this country, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed! Including you, me and everyone here!" Renault's voice was terrifyingly cold, without any People know what happened to this young knight to become so hard-hearted.

"Go to rest early! The orcs won't give us much time!" Renault said a word and turned away.

A touch of blue cloak fluttered in the night wind, like a sun piercing a person's eyebrows.
