Chapter 260 for help

The battlefield was full of flesh and blood, and a large number of soldiers died every second. The orc soldier rushed up was also killed by several human soldiers. Finally, after more than two hours of fierce battle, the orcs finally left behind more than two thousand corpses and retreated.

The soldiers of the Blackstone Fortress finally breathed a sigh of relief. The battle all day had exhausted all the soldiers. Gavin moved his sore shoulders and the guards next to him were bandaging the wounds.

The soldiers who came to change defense replaced the soldiers who had just fought. Gavin took a break and took his servant down the city wall and walked towards the castle.

"When I was in Carter City, I heard about the combat application of Your Excellency Gavin. I often took the lead. I thought it was just an exaggeration. After seeing him today, Your Excellency Gavin was more brave than the rumored ones!" Earl Wien sighed. Just today, he personally learned about the situation on the battlefield. The fierceness of the orcs shocked him. Most of the city wall guard captains on the battlefield began to ask for reinforcements from the rear when the battle was halfway through, but Gavin led his soldiers to fight to the death.

He did not ask for reinforcements from the rear at once. At the same time, the number of soldiers he led was the least casualties, but the results were the largest. In the section of the city wall they defended, more than 500 beast soldiers were killed, including several orc warriors.

"His Excellency Vien, thank you for your compliment." Gavin said after a reluctant smile, "Today you also saw the gap between us and the orc army. Without the protection of the city wall, we are not the opponents of those orcs at all."

"And more importantly, according to our intelligence, there are at least 100,000 orc troops this time, and we now have less than 50,000 soldiers. It is difficult to defend it with our strength, so I ask you to ask the king for reinforcements immediately!"

"And we suffered four thousand casualties today, and the orcs were probably about three thousand casualties. We can't fight to the extent of the consumption!"

"My Excellency Gavin, I will ask for reinforcements from His Majesty the King." Earl Wien thought for a moment and agreed.

"But Gavin, you know that even if His Majesty the King agrees to reinforcements, it will take at least one month to arrive. We can only rely on ourselves this month. I wonder if you have any solutions?"

"Your Excellency, we can only stick to it." After a while, Gavin said, "We first ask the nobles around us for help. They have a lot of troops there. Although they are not elite, there should be no problem in defending the city."

"Ha, do you think those nobles are willing to send their troops here?" Earl Wien sneered. As a noble, he knew the plans of those nobles too well. Even if the Blackstone Fortress was in danger, these nobles would not agree to send their private soldiers here.

Sometimes, even though they know that the danger is approaching, but as long as the danger does not come to their eyes, these nobles will not take it seriously. You can also say that they are short-sighted and have no view of the overall situation. In fact, most nobles are like this. They have their own castles and their own soldiers, and many times they believe in themselves more.

"Even if you don't shoot private troops, those newly recruited soldiers are fine. We need a large number of men now. They don't know how to use weapons, they can always carry stones and boil water. As long as they have good hands and feet, they can just throw the stones down!" Gavin said directly.

"Gaven, if you do this, this soldier will probably suffer heavy casualties in the end!" Wien was shocked and said in a difficult tone. The soldiers who had never trained said it was good to be soldiers, but in fact they were farmers. If these farmers were allowed to go to the battlefield, they would have less than one-tenth of the chance of surviving.

"Then is there any better way for you?" Gavin asked back.

Wien opened his lips, and he had no better way.

"Then do it like this!" Vine soon recovered, gritted her teeth, and nodded directly to agree.

"For Blackstone Fortress, these sacrifices are worth it!"

"By the way, I heard that there is a human city on the wasteland." Wien suddenly thought of something.

Gavin nodded and said, "You are talking about Zhenbei City. That human city was founded by a young nobleman who bought the Pioneering Order last year. It is rich in sugar and rum."

"Then how are their strength?" Wien asked with his eyes lit up.

Gavin hesitated and said, "It's pretty good. I heard from the merchants who went to trade that they defeated goblins, kowtowers, werewolves, and even orcs."

"But I haven't been there in person. I think it's a bit exaggerated. Just a pioneer territory that has just been established for a year, how could they have the strength to defeat the orcs? It's probably the pioneer lord who boasted, but they can still have the strength to stick to the wilderness for more than a year."

"It's good to have strength!" When Vien heard that he had strength, his eyes lit up and filtered out all the previous words. "Since he has strength, let's ask for help from this pioneer lord. Don't he want territory or aristocrats? As long as he helps us defeat the orcs, I'm like His Majesty the King recommending him, not only has titles, but also land!"

"Okay, I will send someone to contact Zhenbeicheng." Gavin shrugged and agreed directly. In his opinion, even if Zhenbeicheng agreed, the army sent out in the end would not be strong. As for Earl Wien's promise, just listen to it.

The nobles' moral integrity has always been like this, and if Zhenbeicheng dares to take the initiative, Gavin finally guessed that the pioneer lord would not have waited for the end of the war. Once he came to attack, he would probably collapse even if the orcs could not survive the first round of attack.

Taking advantage of the night, Garen selected several cavalrymen and quietly left the fortress. Then, moving like the northeast, the orc army did not block the fortress. After all, there were mountains on both sides of the fortress and could not be surrounded at all. The orc army was not close to the camps from the fortress. They also wanted to prevent human knights from sneak attacking in the night.

The next day, as soon as the sky was dawn, the orc army began to launch another attack. This time, the orc army pushed the siege equipment made overnight and launched another attack, but the siege equipment was half less than the day before.

However, the intensity of the battle today is more intense than yesterday. This time the orcs sent more soldiers to participate in the Industrial City. The number of siege towers and the number of rushing cars was insufficient, so they carried the ladder. These orcs did not care about casualties at all. Since the morning, orcs have been constantly climbing up the city walls.

"Are these damn orcs crazy?" Gavin killed the last orc on the city wall with a sword, then wiped the blood stains on his face and said.

"If we continue like this, we can't hold on for thirty days!"

"The orcs are anxious!" Earl Wien looked at the orcs who had temporarily retreated, and another orc army in the distance was ready.

"They attacked without regard to casualties and used wheel battles. Although this method puts a lot of pressure on us, it is not easy for those orcs to have a hard time."

"Why do you think these orcs are so anxious?"

"Why?" Gavin looked at the orc in the distance and sat on the ground.

"I guess it's food!"

"Food? You said the orcs were short of food?" Gavin said excitedly.

Wien nodded and continued, "I have observed these days that there is very little smoke in the orc army camp, and it is far from serving so many orcs for food."

"Then we just need to stick to it for a few days, and the orcs who have no food will naturally retreat." Gavin stood up excitedly.

"It's not that simple!" Wien shook his head and said, "Even if the orc army lacks food, our pressure will be even greater."

"You must know that without food, the orcs will be even more crazy. They will be eager to capture this place. Behind our Blackstone Fortress, there are large tracts of food waiting to be harvested."

"Those orcs will definitely attack to the death after they have no food! So we are under greater pressure than before!" Earl Wien said with a serious expression.

"The closer we are to death, the more crazy it is. After madness, there is death silence, and before dawn is the darkest moment!"

......

Zhenbeicheng is actively preparing for war, and Sulun attaches great importance to the orc attack. Even Zhenbeicheng needs to deal with it carefully. The Eagle Nest has also dispatched many harp-bodied banshee leaders to conduct reconnaissance. The orc army's every move was recorded and reported to Sulun.

The sheriff Harris was very busy during this period. All three hundred security teams were released and patrolled the city for 24 hours to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble. The militia team of two thousand people was also reorganized. These militias did not need to go to the battlefield, but just followed the security team to maintain the stability of Zhenbei City.

All the troops in Zhenbeicheng have been recalled. These troops will be dispatched immediately as soon as Su Lun gives orders.

Lord's Castle.

Su Lun packed up a room and used it as a combat hall. At this time, in the combat hall, except for those with missions, the remaining generals and heroes were all here. In the center of the room was a huge sand table, and the Black Stone Fortress, the Orc Army, and Zhenbei City were all marked out on the sand table.

"Who do you think the final winner of this battle?" Sulun asked as he looked at the generals.

"I don't know." Jushi and Johnson looked at the sand table and looked at Su Lun. They looked like I didn't understand anything. Su Lun was not surprised by the reactions of these two fools. He had long been used to it...

Kane looked for a while and said, "I think the orcs are likely to win. Judging from the previous battle reports, there are not many defenders in Blackstone Fortress. According to the orcs' fighting style, although there will be heavy casualties, the Blackstone Fortress will definitely not be able to hold on."

"Where are you?" Sulun looked at Karina, Grace and others.
