Heroes of the Invincible Knight

The sun was hanging high in the air, and the air was still a little humid because of a spring rain. Early spring was originally a time for everything to recover, but the surroundings of Longxi Pass showed a lifeless scene.

This lifeless life is literally lifeless, the village is burned to the ground, there are looting orcs and human civilians who have been killed at will, the bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no chickens crowing for thousands of miles. This is probably the scene.

Although the orc executives want to adopt a certain sympathetic policy towards humans to reduce the difficulty of marching, how can they easily control the millions of orc soldiers who are red-eyed? They can't help but take the lead in looting and killing. The hatred between the two sides cannot be controlled with a single sentence. The orc high-level can only barely control the order of some big cities to ensure the safety of some human nobles who have taken refuge in the orcs. They still have to use these people As an example, come to recruit more human nobles.

Facts have proved that this method of the orcs is very effective. If the orcs slaughtered indiscriminately like the ogre, it would inevitably cause a full-scale rebound from humans. And the human nobles of the castle were shaken.

It took less than a month for the castle group and the big city orcs, which were originally planned to delay the orcs for half a year, to break through most of them.

…

Fort Iris

A knight's castle built in the west of Longxiguan. The outer wall of the castle is more than ten meters high, and the bottom is about four meters thick. Arrow towers are arranged on all sides. On the semi-fixed crossbows arranged on the top, giant arrows are shining coldly. One can tell at a glance that these war equipment are well maintained on a daily basis, and they are definitely not for decoration.

There is even a moat several meters wide around the outside of the castle. Once the hanging gate is pulled up, it is definitely a castle that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Iris Castle is the castle of Earl Connery. The largest castle outside the kingdom's official city, it is also the leader of the surrounding nobles.

Because the Kingdom intends to place some brave emerging military nobles on the west side of Longxiguan as a buffer between the defense line of Longxiguan and the central plain, all nobles like Earl Connery, compared with the old nobles in the capital, It is still very effective in fighting. The current Earl Connery is the first generation of military nobles. Level, and finally got a Earldom with his military merits when he retired.

Although the old Earl Connery is over seventy years old, the old earl with the strength of a great knight is not bad at all. At this time, he is wearing a heavy armor and standing on the head of Iris Castle with his long sword facing him. The army besieging the castle below shouted.

The orcs have broken through the Dragon's Breath Pass, but there are still many castles along the way from the Dragon's Breath Pass to the central plain. Of course, the orcs cannot ignore these large and small castles. The earl's castle like Iris Castle, which is armed to the teeth, is even more beastman. Object of focus.

However, the army besieging Fort Iris was not only an army of orcs, but also a larger number of human troops.

"Mr. Connery, open the castle and surrender the fort. Orcs don't kill nobles. There are few orcs, so they can't control so many territories. In the future, our nobles will still be nobles, and the lords will still be lords. As long as we pay taxes to the orcs on time, we will pay taxes to the kingdom. Paying taxes is also paying taxes, and paying taxes to orcs is also paying taxes, there is no difference, why bother to resist."

The one who stood up to persuade him to surrender was also a human nobleman, wearing a suit of armor but lacking the spirit of a knight, and his tone was familiar to the owner of Iris Castle. This is a human aristocrat who surrendered after the orcs broke through. After discovering that they surrendered to the orcs, they could still enjoy wealth and honor. Many lords didn't care that the two sides were not of the same race at all, and they slid and knelt quite smoothly. They not only provided supplies for the orcs, but even brought their own soldiers to persuade the orcs to surrender the human castle that was still resisting.

"What are you talking about? I'm too old to hear clearly. Come and discuss it."

Although Earl Connery was standing on the city wall in armor, he seemed to be in good spirits, but his image was indeed old, and his ears were a little bit behind the scenes. It was definitely a great achievement to persuade a big castle like Fort Iris to surrender. To the west of the Xiguan defense line, besides the eighteen great achievements of the kingdom, Iris Fort is the largest and most important.

The human aristocrat who was eager to make contributions in front of the new master did not hesitate much. In order to better persuade Earl Connery to surrender, he actually rode close to Iris Castle. In his opinion, Iris Castle had no reason not to surrender. Although the Earl of Conner Road still has more than 2,000 personal guards stationed in the castle, coupled with the strength of his own great knight, he can be regarded as the strongest lord among the surrounding nobles, but if he wants to resist the army of orcs, it is definitely a mantis arm. , Even the army of millions of Longxiguan was defeated by the orcs, how could the little Connery's family resist the orc army.

What's more, the orcs are also authentic. The human lords who surrender only need to hand over part of the grain for the orc army to use. In the future, they can pay taxes to the orcs just like paying taxes to the kingdom. There is no need to hand over their property, and there is no danger to their lives. Fight to the end.

These days, he brought the surrendered soldiers of a banner regiment assigned to him by the orcs, plus hundreds of orc warriors, and he has persuaded several noble families to surrender without bloodshed, saving the orcs a lot of trouble. Maybe the orcs can give him a city lord. In the past, he was just a baron. He was just a country bumpkin who had just entered the ranks of the nobility. At least, many aristocrats who originally looked down on him started to fawn on him after surrendering. When he was so thick-skinned that he didn't care that he was a traitor, he enjoyed this feeling instead.

However, when he was still dreaming of gaining more wealth by persuading Iris Castle to surrender, the several bed crossbows on the city wall had already adjusted their angles quietly and slightly.

"Mr. Connery, you are the Earl, and you have more than 2,000 soldiers under your command. As long as you are willing to surrender, Iris Castle is still your castle. You only need to provide supplies for the orcs and send your family to Antlers City to enjoy it."

The human nobles who persuaded them to surrender stopped when they were about two hundred meters away from Iris Castle. The knight's voice was also loud. Almost everyone on the city wall could hear him clearly when he shouted from this position.

Earl Connery saw that the other party had already been tricked, so he didn't bother to continue pretending now.

"It's a pity, thinking that I will have to laugh with those ugly things in the future, I feel sick and want to vomit. There will be eight orcs who died in my hands. In my life, I only know how to kill orcs. Doing things for orcs may not work in the next life."

"Mr. Connery, are you planning to toast instead of eating fine wine?"

Earl Connery's words clearly indicate that he has no intention of surrendering. He has encountered nobles who want to resist these days, but those castles with only two or three hundred soldiers with low morale are completely vulnerable. After threatening a few words, he then commanded these puppet troops to take them down as soon as they attacked.

At this moment, he didn't feel the danger coming, and he was about to threaten the morale of the defenders on the city, but in the next second, there were several sounds of piercing through the air, and several huge arrows flew towards him. Come.

"Damn it! Doesn't Connery want to kill his family?"

Although the orcs adopt a strategy of gentleness and peace towards the human nobles, their tyranny cannot be concealed no matter what. For the human nobles who dare to resist, the end must be that the whole clan will be wiped out, and the corpses will be hung on the side of the road for public display. In the face of a powerful army, resistance is almost a dead end, and surrender can not only save the lives of the whole family, but also continue to enjoy wealth and wealth. On the contrary, few people are willing to fight to the end.

Unfortunately, Earl Connery is one of the few.

This veteran who has fought for half his life has never had the slightest thought of surrendering. The guards in Fort Iris are all elite soldiers he trained according to the training method of the Dragon's Breath Legion. Several gray-bearded knight officers are still in the legion The old brothers who served in the army, these people also did not have the slightest thought of surrendering.

Because of the size of Iris Castle and the special status of the old earl, besides the bed crossbow on the city wall, there is even a mighty crossbow. For a goal more than a meter away, half depends on the shooter's experience, and half depends on God's will.

This time, two huge arrows accurately hit the human nobles who came to persuade them to surrender. Under the strong desire to survive, the opponent even ignited his fighting spirit in the end to fight against one or two, but it didn't work at all. At a distance of one meter, the Divine Mighty Crossbow can even cause considerable damage to the White Dragon, which is not something a small knight can resist. The blood hole, the whole person flew out from the horse, and finally landed on the ground, was firmly nailed to the ground by the arrow, there was no room for struggle, and he died.

"Roar!"

This sudden scene caused the soldiers on Iris Castle to cheer in unison, and their morale instantly boosted a lot.

The orc officer under the city was very angry. Although he also despised these human traitors, when the other party killed the traitors, he slapped him in the face. Not long after, the thousands of soldiers who besieged Fort Iris came under the control of the orcs. Under the supervision, an attack was launched on Fort Iris.

The resistance of Iris Castle was quite fierce. Although there were only two thousand soldiers in the castle, Mr. Connery was indeed a generation of military nobles, and he was still a high-ranking officer. The officers below were also experienced veterans. Fort, it easily repelled the attack of several times the number of puppet troops. Most of the human soldiers who surrendered to the orcs only surrendered under the leadership of their own officials or lords, and their morale was almost zero. With a level of maintaining law and order, it is too difficult for them to attack solidly.

The battle at Iris Castle lasted for nearly three days. In the end, the orcs had to mobilize the legions stationed in the big city to break through Iris Castle. When the city was broken, Earl Connery directly ignited the fire oil that had been arranged earlier. And dry wood, swallowed the orcs who rushed into the castle with fire, and also swallowed the entire Connery family.

Since the Dragon's Breath Pass was broken, the kingdom has never received any good news.

Longyan City resisted for nearly ten days, and under the breath of dozens of white dragons, the whole city was on fire, and the orcs slaughtered the entire city.

One month after the orcs broke through the dragon's breath pass, all eighteen cities that were originally planned to resist the orcs for another half a year fell, and all the military noble castles that were used as a barrier to the east of the Central Great Plains also fell. On the plain, the wolf cavalry had even looked at Golden Dragon City several times, and the collapse of the kingdom was imminent.
