Chapter 386

"Li Te, Olivia doesn't know your true gender. It's better not to be too intimate in front of her in the future. Otherwise, our relationship will be easily misunderstood by her, and I don't want to be misunderstood by Olivia."

"Okay, I understand." Seeing Orson say this, Lite nodded with his head drooped.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with his brother's partiality towards Olivia, he still forgave Orson because he dismissed Olivia and left the two of them alone.

Sure enough, Orson still likes himself more.

Thinking like this, Li Teuk instantly felt like he had won again.

Of course, compared to Olivia, a love master who always knows how to control the distance between men and women, Li Teuk's victory is only on the surface.

The reason why Olivia left was not to add a burden to Orson and not make Orson feel tired when getting along with her. In this way, no matter how much Lite behaves and wallows, the fate in the end will still belong to Olivia.

Unless Lee Teuk can seize the time to deal with Orson.

But this is even more impossible.

"Okay, it's almost time for us to leave." Orson said.

"Eh? Let's go? Where?"

"Of course it's the front line."

"Are you finally going to the front line?" Lee Teuk looked delighted when he heard this.

She had studied the art of war with Orson for so many days, and finally found a place to put it to use. How could she not be happy?

"After all, we have almost arrived. If we don't leave, the blood of the frontline soldiers will be in vain." Orson said this and smiled.

On that day, more than 50,000 troops stationed around Fenik City moved eastward and joined the troops that had been chasing the orcs in the valley. There were about 80,000 people in total. They headed eastward, continuously regaining lost ground while drawing closer to themselves and the orcs. Troop distance.

…

Two more days passed, and nearly 10,000 of Balu's troops had lost their combat effectiveness under Trava City.

No one expected that in a small city of Trava, there were not only a large number of human soldiers, but they were also extremely capable and had a strong will to fight.

Even though the orc troops surrounded the city of Trava on all sides, leaving the human army with no hope of waiting for reinforcements, there was no sign of low morale and the situation of deserting before the battle.

But in fact, the more surrounded the city is, the more it can arouse the fighting spirit of the defenders, allowing the defenders to fight against the odds.

"My army has suffered a lot of losses in the past two days of siege." Balu said this and glanced at the other chiefs in the audience. "But, fortunately, the enemy's troops on the wall seem to be getting smaller and smaller."

"So, my idea is that today, as the last day, we attack the city from all sides and take the city of Trava in one fell swoop. Of course, you all have to send troops."

"Oh? If I remember correctly, Chief Balu, you still have more than 40,000 troops, right? With so many people, aren't there enough for an attack?" Swain said, looking at Balu.

"..." Balu frowned when he heard this.

Then, Tucker also stood up.

"Chief Balu, the reason why we obey your orders is because we believe that you can lead us to achieve greater benefits, instead of losing our soldiers here in vain like this."

"We have already lost a number of troops to cover the safe retreat of your troops. Isn't it appropriate to do this again now?"

"Our unit also suffered a lot of losses in the siege." Balu said. "Can't even ten thousand well-trained orc warriors show you my sincerity?"

"I'm sorry, you didn't kill enough people.

There are so many useless wastes that even dead people cannot understand. "Sven said this and shook his head.

"..." When Balu heard this, veins popped up in his arms in anger. Then, he took off the battle ax from his waist and threw it away.

Sven's strength was at the seventh level, but under Balu's blow, he didn't even have time to react, and his head was cut off like this.

The chiefs present looked at Sven's tragic situation and were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders split. They looked in the direction of Balu in panic.

"I've given you opportunities! Time and time again!" Balu said viciously. "Why do you think you can talk so openly in front of me?"

With that said, Balu stepped forward angrily, roughly tore Swain's body in half, and then threw it out.

Now, not only the commander in the military tent, but also the soldiers outside saw the miserable condition of their lord.

"I've said it before, if the orcs want to defeat humans, they must unite! Unite!!" He slapped the table and shouted over and over again.

"With your current performance, it would be strange if you are not defeated by the human race from the inside out!" He said, pointing at each of the chiefs.

"Okay, we are all purebred orcs, and we will use the orc way to solve the problem. Come on! Whoever of you can kill me today will leave my position as the United Chief to you. Otherwise, you will be obedient in the future. Follow my orders, or you will die!"

Balu now understands that for this kind of intrigue, only the most direct method can make them realize the seriousness of the matter and let them know that Balu is not someone to be trifled with.

By killing Sven, he was equivalent to killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. It happened that Sven said the most irritating words to Balu when Balu was at his most depressed, which led to his death.

Anyone who is familiar with Balu knows that he can be said to be quite calm at ordinary times. Therefore, the human agents will specifically find Balu and cooperate with him instead of looking for other people.

Of course, others are not as strong as Balu, which is also a very important point.

With a strong tribe and a calm leader, under the leadership of Balu, the orc attack should have gone smoothly. However, I didn't expect that a more terrifying commander came from the human side. Just the combination of weather and terrain caused heavy losses to the orcs.

Baloo hadn't even met Orson, and it seemed like he was about to lose.

Under this situation, no matter how much he held back and considered the overall situation, Balu couldn't help it at this moment.

What's more, there are several clowns who have been stimulating his emotions.

Balu's liquidation was completed almost instantly. The chiefs of the large tribes were controlled by Balu's threat, and their troops were forced to participate in this siege.

Balu knew that if he could not win today, his attack on the border would definitely end in failure.

Eighteen years ago, the last time the orcs attacked humans was the most successful in hundreds of years, but this time it may be the most unsuccessful in hundreds of years.

But Balu just couldn't swallow this breath.

Even if he dies, he still wants to see Orson's face.

At the same time, on the border, the orc diversionary troops who received Balu's message also launched attacks on humans.

Although most of the orcs are not very powerful in combat, they are already very powerful compared to the count's army that was pulled up temporarily without a few days of training.

It may not be possible to defeat, but it will definitely cause huge casualties to the counts' troops, making them unable to support the frontal battlefield.

…

On the walls of Trava.

Although the defense of the city for the past two days caused a lot of losses to the orcs who lacked siege equipment, the humans also paid a considerable amount of casualties.

The human side has deployed intensive defenses in the city of Trava, deploying 10,000 soldiers. However, until now, only about 7,000 soldiers can still stand on the city wall.

When humans and orcs fight, the loss ratio in battle is already quite unbelievable.

All this is due to the fact that the orcs did not carry siege weapons and other baggage when they retreated. In addition, the muddy terrain did delay the orcs' charge under the city wall to a certain extent.

But these days, the orcs are mainly attacking the west wall.

If the orcs attack from all sides and cannot wait for reinforcements from the enemy, the entire army will definitely be annihilated.

Virgil sat on the city wall, looking at the orc camp outside.

"General Xiuvas, you have been in the army for many years and are experienced. According to your opinion, how many of the enemy's camps are left in this number?"

"..." Xivas frowned.

Head, and then said: "On the west wall alone, there are about 40,000 people, and including others, there are probably 70,000 people."

"Seventy thousand people...are ten times the number of soldiers we can fight now." Virgil sighed.

If the enemy surrounded us on all sides today and attacked regardless of losses, the city would probably not be able to survive today.

I hope the enemy will attack tentatively today like the previous two days.

Virgil said this, but he had no idea of ​​luck in his heart.

Once the enemy chooses to attack, Virgil can only choose to live or die with the city.

Others are beyond his consideration.

…

On the other side, when the time came in the morning, Balu ordered the entire army to take out all the food for cooking. After letting the soldiers eat and drink their last meal, he smashed all the pots and summoned all the soldiers.

"Soldiers! What's blocking our way home now are hateful humans!" Standing on the stage, he yelled in orc language.

"Thousands of years ago, humans drove us away from this land and left us in a barren desert. Now, we have regained this land, but humans want to drive us away from here again!"

"We never agree!"

"We have run out of food. If we want to survive, we can only capture the city in front of us!"

"For our family, for our compatriots, for ourselves, and for the tribe!"

"For the tribe!" The orcs in the audience also responded.

Virgil could hear the sounds from the enemy's camp while standing on the city wall. He knew something was wrong and quickly asked all the soldiers on the city wall to get ready.

Today, it is very likely that the orcs will launch a general attack.

In the morning, after the mobilization, the enthusiastic orc warriors were waiting for the commander's orders.

With the commander's order, the brutal siege began.

The war drums were beating, and the first batch of orcs roared and rushed toward the city wall on ladders.

Then, another group of orcs rushed towards the city gate with huge and sharp wooden stakes, intending to break down the door.

The human soldiers on the city had used up all their arrows and crossbows in the battle to defend the city two days ago. Facing the enemy's attack, they could only use primitive methods - fighting with brute force against the orcs. .

The result is naturally obvious.

On the contrary, putting the orcs on the city wall will cause even less damage.

Soon, the siege turned into a brutal hand-to-hand battle, and this time, the same scene was played out not only on the west wall, but also on the four walls of Trava City.

Human soldiers and orcs fight on the city walls.

Relying on the local numerical advantage on the city wall and tacit cooperation, humans were able to work together to beat down the first batch of orcs who rushed up, but the physical strength of human soldiers was also limited. Soon, some soldiers made mistakes in their movements. After the orcs seized the opportunity, the losses of the human side gradually increased.

More importantly, their fall means that there will be more space for orcs on the city wall, and the local numerical advantage will eventually disappear. The war will enter a thorough and cruel hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, regardless of race or combat power, as long as you are touched by the blade and fall on the battlefield, you will die.

Baru sat firmly in the middle of the army. He would not take the lead before the enemy showed strong combat power.

Watching the situation on the city wall gradually tilt towards the orcs, Baru showed a satisfied look.

The weather has been much drier in the past two days. Although the ground is still muddy, it is rare that there is no rain in the sky. The clear sun is revealed, and the land is slowly becoming friendly to the orcs.

According to his estimation, the orcs will capture the city before sunset. At that time, whether they rob the human food or use the human as food, the orcs will have a follow-up ration, and then retreat to the east to make other plans.

On the west wall, Virgil led the mercenaries to hold on here.

This is the wall facing the Baru Legion, and it is also the place under the greatest pressure. Virgil volunteered to take on the task of defending this wall.

Virgil just pulled his sword out of an orc's chest, and then rolled forward to avoid the axe swung by the orc behind him.

Then, a mercenary in front of him skillfully stabbed his spear into the chest of the orc who attacked Virgil from behind.

Just when he was about to show off to Virgil, another machete was swung from behind, and the mercenary's smile stopped in mid-air, and the whole person's head flew out.

Virgil looked at the bloody scene in front of him, and the whole person was numb.

He roared and stabbed the orc's chest with his sword. The orc was not dead yet. He held Virgil's sword with both hands and tried to pull it out. Virgil simply pushed him back from the wall with force. Then, he leaned against the battlements on the edge of the wall and gasped.

During this period of time, he had killed at least forty or fifty orcs who rushed up the wall, but the number of mercenaries around him was decreasing one by one.

Although they were not close friends, they were comrades who had been together for a while. Seeing these comrades who were usually lively and cheerful and occasionally told Virgil some interesting stories about their hometowns now closed their eyes one by one and fell on the battlefield, Virgil felt very uncomfortable.

The key point was that his strength was almost exhausted.

On the battlefield, he was only a sixth-level warrior, and it was still very difficult for him to change the situation.

At this time, he thought about it and decided to take out the potion given to him by Orson and then drink it in one gulp.

All his limbs and bones were instantly filled with strength, and then he picked up his long sword and rushed to the battlefield again.

A mercenary was facing the attack of two orcs. The long-handled weapon he used was used in conjunction with the shield of his friendly army on the city wall, but his friendly army had been split in the head by the orcs before. At this moment, he was fighting against the two orcs alone, and he could only survive.

Just when he thought he was about to die, Virgil rushed over. Almost instantly, Virgil, who had fully recovered his physical strength, killed the two orcs. Then he looked at the mercenary and gave him a look.

The mercenary understood and followed Virgil. The two cooperated and fought with the orcs on the city wall.

As time passed, there were fewer and fewer orc soldiers on the city wall.
