It was still dark, but in the fallen fortress, the orcs had already begun to clean up the battlefield and sent out several teams to extinguish the flames.
Later, the leader of the orcs who was in charge of the eastern front, a white rhinoceros orc wearing iron armor, came to the reserve warehouse of the human defenders on the south side of the fortress city with a group of followers.
These huge rows of warehouses are as big as white rooms. Outside the warehouses, blood stains can be seen everywhere on the ground. In the melee last night, the human defenders here resisted until the end. Moreover, at this moment
From a distance, we could see that several warehouse buildings had collapsed and black smoke was coming out from inside.
According to reports from the orc warriors under his command, humans put up their last resistance here, and when they saw that the situation was over, the desperate human army tried to set fire to the warehouse. Unfortunately, this plan failed in the end.
Because of the help of the dragon clan, several giant dragons flew in and used water magic. The fire had just been ignited and was extinguished before it could spread.
Outside the warehouse, there are hundreds of corpses lying strewn on the ground. Many of them are mutilated and beyond recognition. However, judging from their clothing, it seems that one of the corpses can still be identified. They are probably high-ranking generals in the human army.
Because the armor on his body was of excellent quality, and his cloak, robe, and weapons were all different from other soldiers.
It's a pity that in the final fierce battle, the heads of these corpses were smashed to pieces by the orcs' hammers, and their true colors could no longer be seen clearly.
"Move away." The orc commander's tone was cold.
But then, when he walked into the first warehouse in front of him, surrounded by his men, the indifference on his face instantly turned into extreme surprise and excitement!
Behind him, hundreds of orcs also opened their mouths wide open, staring dumbfounded at the scene in front of them. Some of them looked greedy, and even their saliva was about to drip out...
In this huge warehouse, all kinds of grains, noodles, etc. are packed in sacks and piled up like mountains. There are also meats hanging next to them. Livestock meat that has been slaughtered whole by the fan, skinned, haired, and dried.
Hanging there, as dense as a forest! In the corner, there were at least dozens of huge wooden barrels piled up. Some orcs immediately shrugged their noses, their eyes shone, and ran over, holding the knife in their hands and slashing
He inserted it into the barrel. Then he looked at the strong-smelling liquid flowing out of it. He stretched out his hand to catch it and brought it to his mouth to taste it. He suddenly shouted happily: "Wine! It's the best wine! God of beasts, above,
I have never had such a good drink in my life!”
After hearing this, the other orcs immediately swarmed up, swarmed down the barrels of wine, opened the lids of the barrels, and sat on the ground eagerly, drinking heavily.
The orc leader was unhappy and shouted angrily: "You bastard! Get up!"
It went up and kicked one of his men over, and said angrily: "Don't touch the things here privately! Go and call two teams of people to collect wooden boards in the city to make a transport truck, and transport them all back!"
After the orc leader got angry, his face turned into joy again. There are dozens of warehouses like this. Calculating this, how much food must be there!
With so much food, even if they were allowed to eat freely, it would be enough to feed one hundred thousand orcs for half a year!!
Soon, two teams of orc warriors were mobilized and guarded the storage warehouse tightly. The orc leader led his men to inspect the warehouses one by one. The more they looked at the back, the more they couldn't help but go crazy with joy.
!
It's not just food. There are also mountains of fodder for horses. There are also several warehouses where the best swords, guns, weapons and armors known to human iron-making technology are piled. Although the size of these weapons is not suitable.
Orcs use it, but if they take it back and refining it in the furnace, they can be turned into iron ingots again, allowing the dwarves to build more weapons!!
"Change your clothes! Damn it, now we can all change our clothes!! No need to be jealous of those wolf cavalry who wear armors and have better weapons than us! Hahahaha!!"
In ecstasy, the orcs laughed wildly.
"Chief...should we hide these things from the elves?" an orc suddenly spoke.
"Hmm..." The orc leader couldn't help but hesitate. Out of greed, it naturally wanted to monopolize the reserves here. However, thinking of the horror of Luoxue, it finally suppressed this idea: "Forget it, the elves don't have a large population anyway.
, you can’t divide them much.”
While the orcs were busy dividing the spoils in the warehouse, the elven warriors also began to enter the city. Luoxue still stayed on the river bank in the north of the city with the warriors of his own clan. He watched from a distance as the beacon fires in the city gradually extinguished and the sky dimmed.
At dawn, there was no fire in the city, but black smoke was rising everywhere, giving it a depressing look.
"Well, this city has been captured." Luoxue smiled softly: "Has the Divine Punishment Team gone back?"
"Yes, King." An old elder bowed.
"Very good, they did a good job this time. Don't treat them too harshly. There will be times when their efforts will be needed in the future." After a pause, Luoxue showed a trace of disdain on her lips: "Those orcs made a mess after entering the city? Humph,
There is no need to compete with those brainless houseboys. Let the elf warriors in the air go south first to meet the pursuing troops. The elf warriors enter the city and control the city defense first! Those orcs who only know how to rob the warehouses, ignore them. The city has been captured.
, the warehouse is placed there, are you still afraid of flying?"
After giving the instructions, Luoxue looked at the defeated Rohart next to him. His expression softened a bit, and he said gently: "I know you feel uncomfortable, but this is war. Now, follow me into the city.
Bar."
Luo Hart's face was gloomy and he stared at Luoxue coldly: "I still don't understand why you don't kill me!"
His eyes were as sharp as a knife: "If you think you can make me surrender, that's absolutely impossible! The longer I stay with you, the better I know you! One day, I will find a chance to escape and go back to
When the time comes, I will definitely make you regret it! So, you’d better kill me now!”
Luoxue was silent for a while. It looked into Rohart's eyes and said softly: "In this world... not being afraid of death may not mean you are truly brave. But daring to continue living in desperate adversity is courage.
Symbol. Rohart, please remember what I said."
Then, no matter what Rohart's reaction was, Luo Xue asked his subordinates to pass on another order: "Clean up the battlefield in the city. If there are any prisoners of human soldiers, don't let the orcs harm them and bring them to our camp."
Luoxue shook his head: "Now that we have conquered this city, we don't have to worry about food. Tell those orcs that if anyone dares to kill prisoners for food rations again, I will skin them."
This order was passed on, and Rohart gritted his teeth and remained silent for a while, then whispered "Thank you" to Luoxue in a difficult voice.
"No need to thank me. Let's go to the city."
As the sky dimmed, the orcs in the city dispatched a large number of laborers to move truckloads of grain from the warehouse to the north of the city, intending to transport a batch to the orc stronghold in the rear.
According to Luoxue's order, the elven aerial warriors also gathered together, preparing to go all the way south to meet the pursuing wolf cavalry.
The remaining human captives and wounded soldiers in the city were also gathered together. There were about three to five thousand people. The actual number should be more than this, but the orcs were barbaric and had already been killed before Luoxue's order could be conveyed.
Many prisoners of war had never been kept alive anyway.
Luoxue did not stay in the city for long. It just took a symbolic turn and left quickly, leaving only the main army of the orcs and some elven warriors here. But it himself took his personal guards,
Crossed the river and returned to the north.
Just when the first sunshine came from the horizon, the army of sinners in the city were preparing to rest after a busy night. At this moment, there were some elven aerial warriors on the city wall preparing to go south...
Suddenly, inevitably, a sharp whistle came from the sky! The whistle seemed to be made by some kind of raptor, the sound was sharp and harsh, and it seemed to have some kind of magical power that made people's heartstrings tremble!
Before the sharp whistle ended, a corresponding cry came from the horizon, and a sound wave suddenly formed, roaring from a distance!!
When the roar came, the elven archers who were originally standing on the city wall heard it. Many of them immediately swayed, and their expressions suddenly changed dramatically. Even more elves were swept away by the sound.
Then, he suddenly turned pale, closed his eyes, and fainted!
Alarmed by the sound, many criminals raised their heads and looked at the southern sky, only to see a row of strange shadows in the sky, with geese wings spread out, already coming through the sky!
"Enemy! Enemy attack!!!"
The orcs on the city wall roared!
But its roar later evolved into a scream!
Du Wei took the lead, and the griffon under his crotch swooped down on the city wall. The sharp claws easily pierced the body of the strong orc, and then threw it high. After a muffled bang,
The corpse fell under the city and was smashed into meat patties!
Then, the griffin knights behind Du Wei came roaring one after another, one hundred griffin knights, the griffins opened their mouths to scream, and suddenly the sharp and sonorous screams could be heard everywhere in the sky above the fortress!
The aerial races of the elves were the first to react, and immediately some warriors fluttered their wings and flew into the sky to fight. But then, when all the gryphon knights fell from the sky, crossed the city wall, and came to the sky above the city defense, several dived and pounced,
Immediately, the orcs on the city wall were thrown down one by one, and many elves had already seen the opponent's appearance clearly!!
Human... human air force?
Why is this?!
Those knights were wearing armor, with a spear in one hand and a short crossbow in the other. The mounts on their crotches were huge, with wings as hard as iron, a griffon head and a lion body, and claws like hooks!!
This appearance immediately made many elves feel a faint feeling that something was wrong.
At this time, Du Wei had already landed on the city wall. This wall was occupied by a hundred griffin knights. He saw a hundred griffin knights lined up and landed on the city wall. He took a closer look at the situation in the city.
, Du Wei snorted: "The left team and I feinted to attract their attention. The right team, the target storage warehouse, must burn the warehouse!"
After saying that, the griffon under his crotch flapped its wings and flew towards the city first with a roar!
Several elven warriors just flew up and met Du Wei head-on. Some elves immediately retreated, holding bows and arrows, ready to shoot, while others held thin long knives and were about to fight hand-to-hand.
At this time, Du Wei suddenly slapped the sitting griffon on the neck...
"Roar!!!!"
Du Wei's mount, the black-feathered griffon, suddenly raised its head to the sky and roared loudly. This time the distance was even closer. The roar was like countless steel needles. As the sound waves spread, the elves around them all turned pale after hearing this.
Some were pale, and some fell down on the spot. Some were flying in the air, and when startled by the sound, they suddenly fell down from the sky!
To be continued...
