Chapter 499 Battle for the Pass (2)
"Lower your voice!" the knight said softly, then put his hand down and pressed it gently.
A group of armored knights behind them immediately stopped, staring intently at the pass in front of them.
"Sir! They don't seem to have any defenses?" the King's Landing knight with his crossbow raised tilted his head and said to the great knight in a low voice.
"I discovered it! The pass has been in disrepair for a long time...the soldiers are not well guarded! There is not even a sentry for so long!" The knight also said in confusion.
"I'll go! What's going on? Have they abandoned this place?" Apophis Breo didn't know when he came over.
"...My lord, you are too reckless!" Olaf chased after him anxiously, but because he was sneaking and could not make a sound, he stood on tiptoes and complained in a low voice.
"I don't think there's anything going on in front of me, so I'll come over and take a look!" Apophis Breo explained in a low voice.
"I'm also very surprised, why is this pass so lifeless?" The great knight had a puzzled look in his eyes.
…
"Strange! There hasn't even been a mobile sentry for so long?" Olaf looked at the sky and saw that the sun was almost setting. There was not a single orc voice coming out of the pass in front of him.
"What should we do? The army can't all be pressed here!" the great knight looked at Apophis Breo with a solemn expression.
"We have to capture this place before the sun goes down!" Apophis Breo thought for a moment.
"Can't wait any longer! Attack!" Apophis Breo suddenly stood up and drew his sword.
"Kill! Charge!" The knights took the lead in launching a charge. A wave of war energy flame emerged from their bodies and enveloped them. With the blessing of the war energy flame, their speed suddenly accelerated a bit.
"Up!" When they were about to reach the pass city wall, the knights jumped up suddenly and jumped onto the city wall in an instant.
"Whoa!" Several flame blades of war energy streaked through the void, instantly sealing off the entire city wall. A dozen knights launched an attack before they could even jump onto the city wall.
"Huh?" When a few knights climbed onto the city wall, they discovered that there was no one on the entire pass. The empty city wall seemed to be laughing at them. The knights instantly stood there and didn't know what to do.
"I..." The great knight had already filled up his fighting spirit and was about to kill everyone, but then he found the deserted pass and felt like he was punched in cotton.
"What's going on! Attack! Go in..." Olaf panted and climbed up with his war gun in hand. He was about to fight a bloody battle when he saw the empty pass.
"Ahhh..." A raven flew over their heads, as if mocking their incompetence and IQ.
"I should have thought that those damn orcs wouldn't be stationed in such a cold weather..." Apophis Breo said with a dark face.
"Fuck!" Olaf rolled down the pass with anger in his eyes, and directly opened the wooden gate of the pass from the inside.
"Someone come and open the door with me!" Olaf waved to the other soldiers.
"Hey!" Olaf unlocked the door bolt, preparing to open the door and let in the soldiers outside.
"Boom!" As soon as Olaf stretched out his hand, the door that had been in disrepair for a long time suddenly fell down because it lost its support or something...
Apophis Breo and the knights on the pass wall all looked down. Olaf looked up with difficulty with an ugly face, and then a group of people looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, speechless.
"So where is the enemy? Sir?" A warrior touched Olaf.
"I also want to know where the enemy is!" Olaf complained angrily.
"Ah! Orcs!" A Fenwu warrior who was investigating wailed and escaped from the pass fortress with a broken spear stuck in his chest. The frightened soldier even lost his sword, just a With a frightened face, he stumbled out holding the broken spear.
"Damn! Pay attention to them down there!" Apophis Breo's pupils shrank.
"Help!" Olaf rushed forward and laid the wounded man flat on the ground.
"Calm down!" Olaf unbuttoned his mail and looked at his wounds anxiously.
"Ah!" As the wounded man screamed, Olaf pulled out the spear embedded in his chest.
"Okay, stop howling! Get up! Go and kill those things that just hide in the sewers and attack!" Olaf put on the armor for him dissatisfied, and then put his war gun into his hand.
"Go ahead, soldier! If you play with it any longer, the wound will scab!" Olaf shook his head. The horrific injury was actually just a visual error. The gun head deeply embedded in the mail had long since decayed due to age. After piercing through the mail, even the inner leather armor could not be broken open... The discomfort he felt was entirely due to the pain caused by the impact.
"Kill!" The soldiers who found the outlet swarmed into the pass, killing every living creature they saw. A few minutes later, with the last scream, the entire pass fell into silence.
…
"Tsk!" Apophis Breo said, circling around the dragged out corpse with some confusion.
"The number of people is wrong! There are only so many people in such an important pass?" Apophis Breo turned around and asked, wondering if some bodies had not been moved out.
"That's it, sir! A total of 27 orc corpses!" Olaf shrugged.
Apophis Breo looked at the knights again, and the knights all shrugged.
"This shouldn't be the case! The area of this pass is no less than that of Rapid City. How can there be only 27 people? Have you checked other passages?" Apophis Breo said quickly. After all, there are two passages in the high pass. They attacked the top one, and there was another passage below.
"In fact, these corpses are all Orc soldiers in the passage below. There is no one above!" Olaf patted the weathered stone wall and sighed.
"We are very lucky, Your Highness!" The great knight knelt down on one knee respectfully.
"It seems that you are about to restore the glory of the King's Landing family! This place has been completely captured by us! The orc tribe that occupied this pass should hide in the mountains to escape the harsh winter. They will not come back until the weather warms up! So there are only a few sentries stationed there. ." The great knight congratulated.
"It should be like this. Apart from this, I don't understand why there is no one stationed there." Apophis Breo nodded and acknowledged the words of the great knight.
"You can understand why there are no orcs staying here if you look at the air leaks here! The stronghold below is better." Olaf pointed to the stronghold buildings around the upper passage.
"The top priority now is to build fortifications! They will definitely come back when spring comes, and we will inevitably have a war!" Olaf said seriously.
"They shouldn't attack us who are protected by the fortress, right?" the knight thought.
"Are orcs normal creatures? They don't even know what their IQ is... And you call this thing a fortress? Are you afraid that you have some misunderstanding about the fortress? Haven't you seen what the Lulong Fortress looks like?" Olaf Eyes widened.
