Chapter 724: Windhelm Town Crisis
Chapter 733: Crisis in Windhelm
"We just killed two Orc spies!" The Goblin Knight extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation. It was obvious that they had dragged the bodies of the Orcs back.
"Let me see!" Ismir was stunned, then pushed open the wooden door that was better than nothing and walked out.
"My lord, you are here, come and see this body!" Ymir squatted on the ground and fiddled with the smelly body in front of him.
Ismir took a look and found the horrible penetrating wound on the body of the Orc. The Goblin Knight who was charging at high speed stabbed it through with a long spear. However, this was not the focus of Ismir's attention. His eyes were focused on the iron armor on the body. Judging from the part where the armor penetrated, the iron armor was at least three or four millimeters thick. This level of armament is not something that ordinary Orcs can afford! It is obvious that this Orc scout is an elite force of Orcs!
"Dol Guldur!" Ysmir stood up suddenly and looked at the dark forest in the distance of Windhelm Town. He felt mixed emotions. The orcs finally noticed his tiny territory. It seemed that they had discovered him.
"Elite Orc Infantry! They noticed us!" Ymir's eyes flashed with a trace of solemnity.
"It looks like an Orc army has come. We can't fight them! Ask for help!" Ysmir certainly wouldn't be so stubborn as to fight against a regular Orc army. With less than 200 people under his command... that would be quite explosive.
"Light the beacon tower! Tell Lulong Fortress that we are in trouble!" Ymir nodded to the natural guardian beside him.
"Sound the alarm! Assemble the militia!" Ishmir ordered. Although the regular army of Windhelm Town only had a small team of natural guardians and a goblin knight with a corner flag, Ishmir still selected 20 strong adult men from the pioneers and the survivors of the Dark Forest he brought with him to form a militia. Although these militiamen holding long spears, holding leather shields and wearing cloth clothes have impressive combat effectiveness, they are brave and brave, and they can still be used to plug gaps.
As the simple beacon tower in the center of Windhelm Town was lit, black smoke rose into the sky, and the soaring smoke column was instantly discovered by the Lulong Fortress on the opposite bank.
"Doss! The beacon tower is lit on the opposite side! Go and have a look!" Renault summoned Anthony Doss, the dragon knight stationed in Lulong Fortress.
...
"What happened, sir? Why did you light the beacon?" Soon Anthony Doss, who was stationed in Lulong Fortress, swooped down on Renoir and landed steadily on the open space of Windhelm Town.
"General Doss, please look!" Ishmir didn't say anything nonsense, but took Doss directly to the corpse. Ishmir didn't expect that it was Anthony Doss who came in person. He originally thought that a flying dragon knight would come, but the dragon knight in person made Ishmir flattered.
"Elite Orcs? Where did you catch them?" Anthony Doss was immediately attracted after just a glance. After all, there was no large Orc tribe nearby. Everyone could guess where this fully armed Orc came from with the soles of their shoes, so Anthony Doss immediately became alert.
"My Goblin Knights accidentally encountered them while hunting! There were two people, and they were killed by the Goblin Knights!" Ishmir introduced.

"Damn it! There is no clan information. There is too little information on them! Apart from the standard armor of the regular army of the Orcs, there is no other physical evidence that can indicate the clan's identity!" Anthony Doss was a little distressed.
Little did they know that this was exactly Khamul's conspiracy. When they found this human town, they were happy for a long time. This meant that their plan was about to be carried out more smoothly. After all, if the battlefield was placed outside the Lulong Fortress, they would still have to worry about the ambush of the Falling Dragon Tower. However, if the battlefield was moved to the other side of the Rapid River, there would naturally be no such concerns. The dragon knights who lost the protection of the fortress would become their vulnerable targets. Even Khamul wanted to plot against one of Kaslo or Anthony Doss. There was nothing in the Dark Forest that could provide them with shelter. Being shot by black arrows was their only fate!
In order to make this plan a success, Khamul forced the wandering orcs to send a small team to the human territory to lure the Kingdom of Raglan. In order to prevent humans from being unable to defeat these orcs, Khamul took great pains to disperse these orcs. Even a few farmers could use dung forks to provoke these lone orcs in the wilderness.
Now it is obvious that the interest of the human kingdom has been seduced by him. Of course, Khamul has a backup plan. If this can attract human quasi-dragon riders, it will be better. But if the quasi-dragon rider does not come out, Khamul will expose this "elite" of orcs to besiege and attack the human town in a swaggering manner. Khamul really doesn't believe that those humans will not be tempted by these mobile experience packs. Since the end of the major battles such as the Battle of Lonely Mountain and the Battle of Five Armies and the Northern Melee, there are not many wandering orcs in the entire North, so naturally Weiss has no one to practice with.
...
"My Lord, please wait a moment. I will go back and report the situation to General Renault!" Anthony Doss naturally understood the urgency of the matter. The appearance of a fully armed half-orc army around their territory would surely make everyone nervous. No one dared to ignore a fully armed half-orc regular army wandering around them.
"Trouble!" Ishmir said with a smile.
Anthony Doss didn't exchange polite words with Ismir and the others. He just nodded and pulled his dragon into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
...
"What's going on? Why did Windhelm light the beacon? Is there a fire?" Renault asked curiously. After all, there was nothing around that could overthrow the existence of Windhelm. Powerful monsters had the power, but powerful monsters would not appear outside the Dark Forest. Even the Swift River behind Windhelm did not have any super monsters. After all, the sea that nurtured countless super monsters was not connected to the Swift River. The Swift River was not connected to the sea like the Anduin River. The only Rune Inland Sea could not breed many super monsters, not to mention that no super monster would go upstream to the upper reaches of the Swift River. The cramped space here could only suppress them.
"No! It was a fully armed regular army of orcs! They hunted down a team of scouts! I checked carefully and found that it was the equipment of the regular army of orcs! It is very likely that they are the orc soldiers of Dol Guldur!" Anthony Doss organized his words and said cautiously.
