Chapter 534: February 1, 2944 of the Third Era, Battle of the North
"Boom!" The door was kicked open, and Roland looked at Verve with a hideous face and blood stains in shock.
"What the hell! It's so much fun!" Verve grabbed the water glass on the side and poured it into his mouth without caring about whose drink it was.
"What's going on?" Roland was shocked by Verve's appearance! How did you become such a virtuous person when you came back after going out so early in the morning?
"Bang!" Before Roland could continue to ask, the door of the council hall was knocked open again, and this time it was Knight Commander Lavian who rushed in.
"We need support! Recall the Dragon Cavalry General! Your Highness!" Lavian said with a cold look in his eyes after taking a deep breath.
"?" Roland blinked and was a little dazed for a moment.
"The orcs are approaching the city! The forwards of those bastards are less than 50 miles away from us!" Verve grinned and rubbed his chest. He was accidentally hit when he was besieged by the orcs just now... Although it was not fatal, it was definitely bruised. .
"Ah?" Roland was shocked by the news. He really didn't expect that Lulong Fortress would be to the south, and it would be bypassed by orcs? Are the orcs not afraid of the defenders of Lulong Fortress backstabbing? Or the Lulong Fortress...
Roland shook his head to get rid of that terrible thought. If Lulong Fortress was really destroyed, Roland would probably find someone to hang himself on. After all, most of his wealth was piled in Lulong, and those soldiers could be said to be the cornerstone of the kingdom! What's more, the Knights are also trying to contain it in the south...
"Gan!" When he thought of the Knights, Roland's face darkened again. Ever since he learned the news that Lulong Fortress was besieged, Roland had become extremely sensitive to the whereabouts of the Knights. If he hadn't seen that the troop structure on the system panel was still there, , Roland really thought they were dead.
"Huh!" Roland opened the system panel that no one else could see, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The Knights were still alive on the panel. Well, that's right! But where the specific location is... only Ormsk himself knows!
"How many people are here?" Roland then remembered to ask Verway and Ravian about the enemy coming.
"The situation is not good, there are at least tens of thousands of people!" Lavian shook his head. He did not fight the orcs, but just took some reconnaissance light cavalry to investigate and then retreated decisively!
What? Is Lavian’s fourth-level knight a coward? Is that cowardice? That’s called following the heart! A large number of orcs are enough to pile up the lonely high-level knights, not to mention whether there are other "big treasures" inside, only Sauron knows! The Lagrand man is a bit reckless, but he is not a tiger!
When he thought of this, Ravian immediately raised his head and glanced at Verway. At this moment, he had silently acknowledged Verway's status as a true man in his heart! .
After all, this guy is really fucking! The Prairie Elf King, who hated the orcs, took action himself, and even played a trick of unparalleled ten thousand troops to take the leader! A fourth-level orc lord was chopped into firewood (the kind that really ignited) with his manicati.
"Tens of thousands of people...what did you do?" Roland hesitated for a moment and saw the embarrassed Verve and shook his head helplessly.
"If I hadn't sensed the breath of the Ring Spirit, I could have delayed those Orcs for a while!" Verway said with some dissatisfaction. He had killed at least hundreds of Orcs just now. If it hadn't been for the Ring Spirit's The breath frightened him away, and he could continue to fight for a while.
"Are the Ring Spirits here?" Roland twitched the corner of his mouth. Good guy, what use do I need for that fortress? Blocked a der? Even if the orc army is pressing down on the door, even the Nazgul are touching it?
"Anyway, I can't think of anyone else with that kind of rotten and cold aura." Verve shrugged. He was still very familiar with the Nazgul. After all, this wasn't the first time they had fought against them.
"Notify everyone to come to discuss politics!" Roland waved his hand feebly.
…
"The Orcs are heading straight to Rapid City. What should we do now?" Roland knocked on the table and looked at everyone.
"Fight with those bastards!" Old man Radil had already started pounding the table.
"Hey, calm down Radil!" Lance covered his face and said.
"I will try my best to arrange the city defense, but don't expect much, after all, the soldiers are limited..." Marcus said cautiously after considering it for a moment.
"I suggest mobilizing civilians to defend the city! We can't rely entirely on soldiers at this time! I can burn it again if you want!" Adilai sighed. He had nothing left to dedicate to this country, only this old and frail man A life.
"...That's not necessary!" Roland grinned, as if he was about to leave. Although the tens of thousands of orcs were a large number, they were not an unstoppable force.
"Notify other kingdoms as soon as possible. Lulong Fortress has been bypassed. Orcs are approaching the city. We need dragon cavalry generals! Ajax in the dark forest cannot be contacted, but the Kaslo knights in the north can still be contacted!" Yun Feng said calmly! , for him, there is nothing to panic, after all, there are three sixth-level ones in the city! There is a dragon cavalry general outside who can support you at any time! Coupled with the tens of thousands of young people in this city... Haha! Orcs hit on the head? It’s just a matter of casualties, but it’s obvious that Roland is unwilling to let civilians trade lives with orcs, so although it’s a little difficult, it’s not that difficult!
"Can they turn over a ten-meter-high city wall?" Nicks finally interjected after listening for a long time.
"Of course! A simple ladder will do, Queen!" Marcus explained.
"Well, I regret not building a moat!" Roland said with a bitter smile, but he would not be so passive when digging a real moat. At least the orcs would not easily walk under their feet!
(Floating City once built a simple moat, but after the kingdom was pacified, Roland commanded people to fill in the simple moat... It was said that the moat was actually a trench filled with water.)
"Then let's do this, give weapons to men! Let the young men help defend the city!" Roland finally made the decision. Although it was a good idea to increase the number of people, Roland didn't like it. The combat effectiveness of off-duty professional soldiers was obviously not comparable to that of ordinary farmers. However, due to the current shortage of troops, Roland had no choice but to ensure the safety of Rapid City in this way.
"Yun Feng, look at Verway! He will attack others at will! Your target is the Ring Spirit!" Roland warned.
"Don't worry! The Ring Spirits won't have a chance to join the battle!" Yun Feng said solemnly, for them, two and one can still do it!
"Well! Your Excellencies, Adilai and Radil, make your own arrangements and pay attention to protecting civilians!" Roland did not assign any tasks to the two old men. After all, the two old men's combined experience is one hundred and eighty times higher than Roland's. Let them both It’s better to play freely!
"By the way, can the defensive magic array in Rapid City be used?" Roland turned to look at Nicks. Nicks was in charge of this thing, and Yun Feng and others were responsible for the construction.
"I only have time to set up an intermediate magic shield. It's okay to block the flowing arrows and so on. The trebuchet is quite choking!" Nyx looked at her lover apologetically, her eyes evasive, feeling guilty for disappointing her lover.
"It's okay, it's pretty good!" Roland didn't criticize them harshly. After all, Rapid City is not Lulong Fortress. What he needs is not repair but reconstruction!
"Today is February 1st! The orcs really picked a good time to bury someone!" Roland said fiercely as he looked to the southeast, his clenched fists showing Roland's murderous intent at this moment!
