More than a thousand orcs from the Aquitan tribe rushed into the city of Nedel at the last moment.
After the Aquitan tribe surrendered to the empire, Lord Lorraine saw that as soon as he took office, he had "the barbarians come to conquer him". This was a great thing, which greatly increased his experience points.
Therefore, the old man was happy and with a stroke of his pen, he drew a circle in an unowned land with fertile water and grass in the interior of Naider Province, allowing them to rest and recuperate here.
In this way, firstly, it can show Lord Lorraine's high moral integrity, and he can treat these half-orcs who have taken refuge in him calmly and "purchase their bones with a lot of money", which can set an example for other hesitant half-orc tribes.
Secondly, moving them inland would facilitate surveillance and save you from being taken advantage of.
If those orcs were not fed properly, they would turn their backs on each other after eating and drinking enough. While picking their teeth, they would call Sir Luo a big fool, and then pat the orcs' uniquely huge buttocks and bump them again.
They ran back to the grassland and continued their old business of killing people and setting fires.
Later, the orcs invaded from the south, the border was tightened, and the war broke out.
In order to defend his own territory and prevent those orc cubs from crossing the border, Lord Lorraine mobilized his best men, armed with his double red sticks, and his younger brothers who could fight to the death.
At the same time, he also had to worry about the movements of the orcs who had surrendered.
What if the other party imitates Huang Dagai's trick of playing Boss Cao in Chibi, pretending to surrender, but actually stabbing him with a knife? Taking advantage of his opportunity to send troops, he turns against him and cuts off his escape route.
By that time, Lord Luo couldn't even find a place to cry.
In addition, he had been deeply influenced by the vast number of war literature and art works in the past, and he deeply understood the importance of traitors in war.
Those guys stood firm and killed their own people, clattering like chopping vegetables. They were more ruthless than the invaders, and tortured the prisoners to death, fiercely.
It is also easy to understand. Those resistance organizations also hate their traitors who betray their compatriots and never spare these traitors.
Therefore, Lord Lorraine spared no expense, waving bills in one hand and holding a knife in the other. After some coercion and inducement, he drew out all the men of the right age from the Aquitan tribe and asked them to follow him to the south and beat them.
Go compatriots.
The cultivated land was left behind, and the housekeepers were all half-orc women, old people, and children.
In the words of Lord Lorraine: This is called a win-win situation. I have soldiers like half-orcs, which increases my military strength, and the half-orcs can also use this war to earn more wages, and maybe make war fortune.
, improve life.
At this time, more than a thousand orcs, old and young, came into the city following the shaman Geerba, and they all did not meet the standards for joining the army.
Despite this, the soldiers at the city gate were very moved when they saw these Aquitaine people.
In such a critical moment, they could still disregard their personal safety and come from hundreds of miles away for reinforcements. These Aquitan people undoubtedly have a strong sense of ownership of Naian.
When Galba saw that it was Catherine and Adele who greeted them at the door, he immediately walked over to salute and shouted excitedly: "Your Highness, thanks to your kindness, we Aquitaine people can finally have a full meal.
, live a stable life.
I heard that some people dare to attack Nadel City. Aren't they just going to take away our peaceful life?
When the people in our clan heard this, they became very excited and rushed to help you fight those wolf cubs. I selected those who can still fight from the clan and volunteered to assist His Highness in the battle."
Catherine looked at the Aquitaine people below who were wearing simple equipment. These people were all wearing the simplest coarse clothes. Many of them were just children with immature faces, about fifteen or sixteen years old. They also held rough long spears and carried
Wearing a tattered leather shield, tensing his body, he walked in the team with a determined look on his face.
Catherine smiled gently and said: "Great Shaman Galba, I have recorded the contribution of you Aquitan people."
Galba hurriedly bowed and said: "You should do it, Your Highness, we orcs have a proverb - 'Only a brave hunter who is not afraid of danger can hunt a lion.'"
Catherine was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that the meaning of this sentence seemed to be somewhat the same as 'Only giving will result in reward'.
She hurriedly praised: "Okay, well said."
But then she thought of something again, and couldn't help shaking her head, sighing, and said: "But I have a group of people here who only want their own rights, but don't want to fulfill any obligations."
Galba smiled generously and said: "Your Highness, true love is revealed only in times of adversity."
Catherine hummed, then turned around and saw the logistics officer beside her, and immediately ordered: "Lord Ignatz, these brave Naian people will be left to you, and they will be treated as militiamen."
She paused, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the tattered clothes on the orc warriors, and then added, "Remember to give them weapons and armor."
Ignatz nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
"The Great Shaman of Galba," Catherine thought for a moment and said, "Follow me, I need someone who is familiar with the orcs. And as far as I know, the people who are coming this time are your enemies, the Dulci tribe.
"
Galba was stunned when he heard this, and his face suddenly darkened.
After a moment of silence, Galba suddenly laughed and said to Catherine: "Your Highness, they are seeking death. We Aquitaine are waiting for them here."
The transport fleet carrying the orcs sailed up the river with a swagger, as if they had known for a long time that the defenders in Nedel City would not attack.
Dozens of transport ships lined up on the wide river, with black scorpion flags flying on the ships.
The soldiers standing on the top of the city could clearly see the densely packed black heads on the transport ship through the sunlight.
The orc warriors gathered on the deck like a group of country bumpkins. In fact, they were indeed a group of country bumpkins. They looked greedily at the majestic Nadel City in front of them, especially the towering spire of the Governor's Palace.
Their eyes all glowed with bloodthirsty light.
Ahead of this is Nidel City.
The legendary city of Nedel~!
The prosperous city of Nadel~!
Nadel City is full of beauties~!
The intoxicating city of Nedel~!
…
Vechin and Torek stood at the bow of the ship, reaching out and grabbing the spire of the Governor's Palace, as if they were holding the city in their hands.
As long as he captures this prosperous city in the human world, he will become a new legend~!
All orcs will remember his name~!
At this moment, he suddenly felt a burning fire in his chest.
Take this city, kill all the humans in the city, steal all their treasures, and make all humans tremble when they hear your name.
He took a deep breath, raised his clenched fists high to the sky, and let out a loud roar.
"Ouch~!"
Immediately afterwards, the orcs on the ship waved their weapons, knocked on the ship's planks, and howled like wild beasts.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
The orc's voice floated along the river and was clearly heard at the head of Nedel's city.
Their arrogant attitude immediately angered Nidel's defenders.
The bugle sound of "doo...doo" sounded three times in succession, followed by the sound of "dong dong" war drums.
The defenders on the city uniformly shouted three times in succession, "Long live, long live, long live."
The neat slogans revealed the complete training and strict discipline of the Nidel garrison.
Just like a group of children shouting around a few adults, only to be shouted at in return. Although the orcs' chaotic beast sounds are ferocious, the human slogans show a firm determination to fight.
Vechin and Torek originally thought that upon seeing the appearance of their orcs, the city of Nadel would now be in a panic and chaos, and humans might be running around the city like bugs that had lost their heads.
But what he saw was a city of Nedel that was heavily guarded, had high morale, and was armed to the teeth~!
It seems that there are no traces of people outside the city for a long time, and the originally busy Beni River is also empty. There are only dozens of orc transport ships on the entire waterway.
This disappointed Vechin and Tolek, who were prepared to admire the panicked appearance of humans.
Vechin and Torek turned to smile at the woman in black next to them, and said loudly: "Dripono, these courageous humans, I hoped to scare them, but unexpectedly, they shrank fast enough.
Hahaha……"
The leaders behind Vechin and Torek laughed loudly, pointed at Nadel City, and shouted curses in their unique vulgar language.
Delino just pulled the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, and his face immediately darkened again.
The spy did not appear at the mouth of the river as agreed, which made Delino very worried. Originally, all the information in Nidel City had to be brought by the spy, but now it seems that something has obviously happened.
She knew nothing about the city of Nedel, the size of the garrison in the city, preparations for war, public sentiment in the city, etc. These were very important to the orcs' siege.
In the plan, Drino believed that humans would not be aware of their arrival until they appeared at the mouth of the river. In that case, Nedel City would only have one day at most to prepare, and it would definitely be frightened by the sudden appearance of these orcs.
And now, Nadel City looks like it is fully prepared.
Unlike Vechin and Torek, who believed that the city could be captured by relying on the number of people climbing up the city wall, Drino also knew the art of war and knew how to conquer a fortified city like Nedel that had been in operation for hundreds of years. If there was no
With internal support and a strong attack by the army alone, without more than ten times the strength of the troops, it would be impossible to defeat the enemy after being surrounded for more than half a year.
Delino has placed all his hopes on those internal agents. Only through this method can they rush into Nidel City, and entering Nidel City is the first step of Delino's plan.
Now she was unable to contact the people lurking in the city. Although they had a detailed action plan, Delino began to worry about whether the people in the city could cooperate with her in executing this plan.
Next to Delino, there was a vague feeling that the action was out of control, and he became depressed.
Seeing the proud expressions of Vachin and Torek, Drino became even more irritated.
Ever since the defeat in Croni City, Vechin and Tolek had slowly changed, and Drino could see his changes bit by bit.
At first, I just thought that Vachin and Tolek were arrogant and arrogant, but they suddenly encountered setbacks and couldn't think about it for a while. They didn't expect that during the originally smooth sailing later, they actually encountered a robberies dragon.
That blue dragon that looked slender and elegant, but with unparalleled power, destroyed half of the fleet in a very short time. Even when the dragon rushed towards them, Delino used the strength to dodge.
None.
After the dragon left, Delino saw that the faces of Vachin and Tolek were pale and without any blood.
Since then, Vechin and Tolek have become more impatient and bellicose, constantly clamoring for an eternal victory over Nadel City, and constantly talking about how they won Nadel City next to Drino.
What to do after that?
Delino understood that Vechin and Tolek urgently needed a victory to regain their confidence, but felt that Vechin and Tolek were becoming more and more paranoid about victory and did not even allow their illusory plans to be questioned.
The war was about to begin, and Delino was not in the mood to take care of Vechin and Torek. Anyway, the entire Dulci tribe was already vaguely in her hands, and they were executing their plans step by step.
Seeing the sullen and absent-minded look next to Drino, Vechin and Tolek were quite dissatisfied and said loudly: "Human beings close their doors and don't see guests. We can't be so rude. Go up and tell the human beings:
One word, here we come.”
Next to Drino, my little sheep, when the city of Nidel is captured, we will hold a wedding in the tallest building, and I will give you all the human beings as gifts."
Delino smiled helplessly.
The orcs around him began to boo, and soon, a transport ship left the south bank and headed towards the north bank. When it saw that it was almost within the range of the bow and arrow, the orc transport ship stopped.
Catherine, Adele, Lorena and Hilmeria stood side by side at the top of the city, looking at the Orc fleet on the river.
Behind them are the officers in charge of city defense.
Galba stared at the black scorpion flag in the distance with burning eyes.
At this time, the transport ship that broke away from the fleet slowly approached Naider City under the watchful eyes of everyone.
After the boat stopped in the water, the orcs on top waved black scorpion flags and roared towards the city. You knew they were provoking without asking.
The soldiers on the city fired two arrows at the orcs, but they fell into the water a hundred feet away from the boat. The orcs on the boat pointed at the city wall and laughed wildly.
Ignatz saw Catherine sneer, and immediately understood, turned around and said to the officer behind him: "Is the ballista within reach?"
The officer thought for a moment and said, "There are three ballistas that can hit there."
Ignatz glared at him and said, "What are you waiting for?"
The officer said "yes" and turned around and hurried over.
At this time, the orcs faced Nedel City, stood in a row on the boat, and at the same time lifted up their clothes, exposed their hairy thighs, and peed towards Nedel City.
Catherine and the others turned pale, sighed, and turned their backs.
At this time, everyone on the city wall heard three "bang bang bang" sounds coming from not far away, and three thick crossbow arrows flew out from the city wall and shot directly at the transport ship.
The other orcs were laughing at the performance of their compatriots in front of them, wondering if they should follow suit and play in front of humans, when they saw three thin black shadows flying out.
Before the orcs demonstrating on the ship could react, three crossbow arrows hit the transport ship from different directions.
One of them directly hit the rows of orcs on the ship, sending four or five orcs standing together flying, and then hit the ship's plank, throwing up a piece of debris.
The other two penetrated the ship's plank and shot into the transport ship. The orcs on the ship immediately lay on the deck holding their heads.
Seeing that they were under attack, the sailors desperately pushed the ship back.
Then three more crossbow arrows were shot into the transport ship, two of which rushed across the deck, causing a rain of blood as the orcs screamed in terror.
The Nidel defenders on the city wall cheered loudly, but there was suddenly no sound from the orcs. Even Wichin and Torek suddenly straightened their faces, snorted coldly, cursed "incompetent", turned around and walked away.
into the cabin.
Delino sighed and shook his head slightly.
The orc fleet neatly moved a little closer to the south bank, and slowly moved upstream under the watchful eyes of the Nedel people.
Ten miles east of Nidel City, the Orc fleet docked on the north shore. After more than ten days of wandering at sea, the Orcs finally set foot on the land of Nidel City.
Before the orcs could fully recover from the dizzy feeling, they immediately threw themselves into a major event and sacked nearby villages, even though there was nothing left there.
Vechin and Torek first moved into a manor left by a noble, took their men around the manor, and even tried to persuade their men: these are temporary, there are more luxurious ones in the city.
Wait for us.
Delino carefully walked around the nearby villages several times, even walked into many houses and wiped the dust on the tables.
The face next to Delino suddenly darkened, and the necromancer who had been following her suddenly asked: "Is there any problem?"
Delino smiled bitterly and said, "The people here have been moving away for at least four days."
The necromancer nodded and said: "It seems like this."
"This shows that humans have already known that we are coming, and they have evacuated all nearby residents." Delino said bitterly: "Our whereabouts were exposed a few days ago, and I don't know the reason. I can only pray.
It’s not the worst case scenario, the informants in the city haven’t been exposed yet.”
The necromancer patted the slender shoulder next to Delino and said, "No, if they die, I can feel the secret skills of our necromancer from here."
Delino perked up after hearing this, looked at the Necromancer closely, and said: "Master, are you sure?"
The necromancer nodded slowly and said: "Don't worry, they are still alive."
