Heroes of the Invincible Knight

With the retreat of Nuno and Raf, the orcs who were a little chaotic under the impact of the Scarlet Flame Knights quickly returned to order, showing what elite orcs should be.

And Hadman, after discovering that the orc siege troops had retreated, immediately rushed towards the periphery with the knights. Hardmen was not stupid, and after a little observation, he could also see the power of the two earth steps on the top of the city. If two strong men of the earth rank joined the siege with elite orcs, he would not be confident that he would be able to escape unscathed as before.

However, although Hardman rushed towards the periphery, he did not stay too far away. Instead, he led the knights to cruise around, and his slippery state made the orcs who attacked the city quite uncomfortable.

…

"boom!"

After retreating from the city wall, Nuno, who was already a bit irritable, smashed the giant ax in his hand to the ground. Not only did the attack on the city not be as devastating as he expected, but the human beings were driven off the tower. , and lost many fighters,

In addition to the orc warriors who died during the siege, there were also many who were killed by the charging Red Flame Knights. A rough estimate is that at least two hundred orc warriors have lost their fighting ability. Now the total force in Nuno's hands is still Less than eight hundred.

"Master Legion, what should we do next?"

The orcs suffered a lot of casualties this time. There are still many wounded soldiers in the camp crying in pain. The city has not been taken, and their morale has inevitably suffered some blows. Fortunately, they are quite determined to fight, and there is nothing to retreat thoughts.

Adjutant Laf asked this question to let Laf make up his mind whether to continue attacking the city under pressure, or simply bypass this difficult city.

"Let the teams go to the surrounding human villages to find some food. If we don't replenish the food, we will run out of food in two days."

Although Nuno was angry at the moment, his brain was not burnt out by the anger. They came from the orc kingdom to the Northland all the way, and they didn't bring much food. The supplies along the way mainly depended on the snow giants. In Nuno's idea, taking this small city can serve as a stronghold connected to the Ironwood Forest, and it can also solve the problem of feeding his vanguard.

But Ironwood City's difficulty was completely beyond Nuno's expectations. Not only was it not as easy as expected, but it continued to stand after causing a lot of casualties to the orc army. After the powerful cavalry cruised around the periphery, Nuno was even more apprehensive. He was no longer so confident that he could take Ironwood City quickly, so it was also on the agenda to go to the villages around Ironwood City to grab food.

"But what about the Knights?"

After hearing Nuno's arrangement, Raf seemed to have thought of something, and expressed his doubts with some hesitation.

The Scarlet Flame Knights, this cavalry consisting of knights and tall red horses, made Raff a little afraid. If they divided their troops to collect food, they might be attacked by their kicks.

"It's okay, they shouldn't dare, as long as we don't continue to attack the city, they won't take the initiative to attack us."

"The teams that go out to collect food are in units of hundreds of people. At most half of them leave each time. Each team must confirm the position of each other. I will change my armor and lead the team myself. You can just sit here."

"Yes, Master Legion."

Raph understood Nuno's meaning after listening for a while. On the human side, only two people on the top of the city can form a certain restraint on Nuno, and one of them was seriously injured by Nuno. He didn't rest for a period of time. In a short time, it may be difficult to exert its due strength, and it will not be a threat in a short time.

With Raff guarding the camp, Nuno will lead the team out to collect food and capture some prisoners. It’s okay if the Scarlet Flame Knights stand still, but if the Scarlet Flame Knights dare to attack directly like before, then Nuno is very I am confident that most of them will be kept.

…

"The orcs are coming, the orcs are coming!"

"Let the arrows! Let the arrows!"

An unknown small village outside Ironwood City. Unfortunately, this peaceful village became one of the targets of the orcs to collect food. Because the orcs came quite suddenly, the Hunters did not have time to do anything to clear the walls. Ironwood City The villagers and supplies in many surrounding villages had time to transfer.

Of course, compared to other villages, in addition to supplies and villagers, the villages under the Hunter family still have a certain ability to resist. After all, there are paramilitary forces such as farmers and soldiers who have received certain military training.

"Let the arrows! Let the arrows!"

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The sheriff in the village is quite capable, and he is also said to be brave and promising. When Ironwood City was attacked, he called up the peasants and soldiers, and arranged for the villagers to evacuate. At this time, in order to cover the villagers who had not completely evacuated And led dozens of farmers and soldiers to do the final delay at the entrance of the village.

It's a pity that even the standard longbows issued by the regular army of Ironwood City in the past are difficult to deal with heavy armored targets such as orc warriors. They have to rely on composite crossbows such as the crossbow and the bear hunting crossbow to deal damage, let alone these Farmers and soldiers have hunting bows of different quality.

The accuracy of the arrows is not bad, after all the distance is not far, most of these arrows landed in the pile of orcs dozens of paces away, but the damage was not at all, this kind of powerful arrow The elite orcs in A couldn't even break through the defense. If it weren't for the arrows aimed at the door, the orc warriors wouldn't even bother to block it.

"Spear, spearman ready!"

"kill!"

"boom!"

Dozens of farmers and soldiers and dozens of orc warriors seem to be the same number, but their combat power is very different. Even the most elite dragon's breath defenders of human beings must be four or five times stronger when fighting the orcs on the flat ground. Only the numerical advantage of the orcs can barely resist. In the case of equal numbers, the individual advantages of the orcs are too great.

The moment the two sides collided, it was a one-sided battle. The orc warrior's giant ax could easily kill a peasant soldier. Most of these peasant soldiers only had leather armor, so how could they stop the orc warrior's axe? , Even the captain in cloth face armor couldn't support it much. The giant ax was considered a blunt weapon in a certain sense. Apart from being heavier, its lethality was definitely higher than weapons such as swords and spears.

"Ah! Run!"

Less than a minute after the contact, the peasants and soldiers in the village were more than half damaged and quickly fled. After all, they were facing a group of orc elites comparable to the peak quasi-knights, and among them were orc warriors equivalent to human knights. How could they be a group of peasants and soldiers? It can be resisted. After the captain with high prestige was killed, the remaining group of peasants and soldiers who were frightened quickly collapsed.

"chi"

"Where's the food!"

"Push out the food!"

"boom!"

"ah!"

Most of the villagers who hadn't had time to escape were stopped in the village by this team of orcs. The so-called food requisition is just a nice way of saying it. Most of the food requisitions in the enemy's territory will be accompanied by burning, killing and looting. Such things are not uncommon among the same kind. Not to mention the two incompatible races of humans and orcs.

After the peasants and soldiers did not resist, the villagers were gathered together by the orcs. The brutal orcs were no more benevolent than the ogres, and they almost killed the villagers at every turn. The only thing that was better was that the orcs were considered a civilized race. without eating another intelligent creature...
