The battlefield was full of flesh and blood, and a large number of soldiers died every second. The orc warrior who rushed up was also beheaded by several human soldiers. Finally, after more than two hours of fierce fighting, the orcs finally lost their lives. The next two thousand corpses retreated.

The soldiers of Blackrock Fortress finally breathed a sigh of relief. All the soldiers were exhausted from the whole day of fighting. Gavin moved his sore shoulders while the guard next to him was bandaging the wound.

The soldiers who came to change the defense took over the soldiers who had just fought. After a rest, Gavin walked down the city wall with his attendants and walked towards the castle.

"I heard about Lord Gavin's combat application when I was in Cartel City. I often took the lead. I thought it was just an exaggeration. After seeing it today, Lord Gavin is more brave than the rumors!" Today, he personally understood the situation on the battlefield. The fierceness of the orcs shocked his heart. Most of the city wall defense captains on the battlefield began to ask for reinforcements from the rear when the battle was halfway through. He fought to the death with his soldiers.

He never asked for reinforcements from the rear. At the same time, the soldiers he led had the fewest casualties, but the greatest victory. In the section of the city wall they defended, they killed more than 500 orc soldiers, including several orc warriors. .

"Your Excellency Wayne, thank you for your compliment." Gavin smiled reluctantly and said, "Today you have also seen the gap between us and the orc army, if there is no protection of the city wall, we are not the opponents of those orcs at all. "

"And more importantly, according to our information, the orc army this time is at least 100,000 people, and we have less than 50,000 soldiers now. It is difficult to rely on our strength to defend, so I ask you Immediately ask the king for reinforcements!"

"And we lost 4,000 casualties today, and the orcs' casualties are estimated to be around 3,000. We can't do it with all the exhaustion!"

"Your Majesty Gavin, I will ask His Majesty the King for reinforcements." Count Wayne agreed after thinking about it.

"But Gavin, you know that even if His Majesty the King agrees to the reinforcements, it will take at least a month for the reinforcements to arrive. This month we can only rely on ourselves. I wonder if you can do anything?"

"Your Excellency, we can only stick to it." After a while of silence, Gavin said, "Let's ask the surrounding nobles for help first. They have a lot of troops there. Although they are not elite, it should be no problem to defend the city."

"Heh, do you think those nobles would be willing to send their troops here?" Earl Wayne sneered. As a noble, he knew the plans of those nobles too well. Even if the Blackstone Fortress was in danger, these nobles would Wouldn't agree to send their personal soldiers here.

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

"Even if you don't shoot private armies, those newly recruited soldiers will do. We need a lot of manpower now. They don't know how to use weapons. Just go down!" Gavin said directly.

"Gavin, if you do this, this soldier is likely to suffer heavy casualties in the end!" Wayne was shocked and said in a difficult tone. Those untrained soldiers are called soldiers, but they are actually farmers. If these farmers are sent to the battlefield, the chance of surviving in the end is less than one in ten.

"Is there a better way, Your Excellency?" Gavin asked rhetorically.

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

"Let's do it like this!" Wei En quickly recovered, gritted his teeth, and nodded in agreement.

"For the sake of Blackrock Fortress, these sacrifices are worth it!"

"By the way, I heard that there is a human city in the wasteland." Wei En suddenly thought of something.

Gavin nodded and said, "You're talking about Zhenbei City. That human city was established last year by a young noble who bought a pioneering order. The place is rich in sugar and rum."

"How about their strength?" Wayne asked with bright eyes.

Gavin hesitated for a moment and said, "The strength is not bad. I heard from the merchants who went to trade that they defeated goblins, kobolds, and gnolls, and even defeated orcs."

"But I haven't been there in person. I think it's a bit exaggerated. It's a pioneering territory that has just been established for a year. How could they have the strength to defeat the orcs? It is estimated that the pioneering lord boasted, but they can persist in the wilderness for more than a year. Time and strength should still be there."

"It's good to have strength!" Wei En's eyes lit up when he heard strength, and he directly filtered out the previous words, "Since there is strength, then let's ask this pioneering lord for help, he doesn't want territory , do you want to be a noble? As long as he helps us defeat the orcs, I will recommend him like His Majesty the King, not only has the title, but also the land!"

"Okay, I will send someone to contact Zhenbei City." Gavin shrugged and agreed directly. In his opinion, even if Zhenbei City agreed, the strength of the army sent in the end would not be high. As for Earl Wien's Promise, just listen.

The integrity of the nobles has always been like this, and if Zhenbei City dared to take the initiative to attack, Gavin finally estimated that the pioneering lord would not be able to wait for the end of the war at all. Once he comes to attack, it is estimated that even the first round of the orcs' attack will collapse.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Garen selected a few cavalrymen, quietly left the fortress, and then moved northeast. The orc army did not block the fortress. Not close, they also want to prevent the human knights from sneaking in at night.

The next day, as soon as the sky dawned, the orc army began to dispatch again. This time, the orc army pushed the siege equipment made overnight to attack again, but the siege equipment was half less than the previous day.

But the intensity of the battle today was more intense than yesterday, and the orcs sent more soldiers to join the city this time. The number of siege towers and rushing vehicles was not enough, so they carried cloud ladders. These orcs don't care about casualties at all, and since the morning, orcs have been climbing the city wall.

"These damn orcs, are they crazy?" Gavin beheaded the last orc on the city wall with a sword, then wiped the blood on his face and said.

"At this rate, we won't be able to last for thirty days at all!"

"The orcs are in a hurry!" Count Wayne looked at the orcs who had retreated temporarily. Another orc army in the distance was ready.

"They attacked regardless of casualties, and they used wheel warfare. Although this method put a lot of pressure on us, those orcs were not easy to deal with."

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

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

"I guess it's food!"

"Food? You said the orcs are short of food?" Gavin's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

Wayne nodded and continued: "I have observed in the past few days that there is very little cooking smoke in the orc army camp, which is far from enough to feed so many orcs."

"Then we only need to hold on for a few days, and the orcs without food will naturally retreat." Gavin stood up excitedly.

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

"You must know that there is no food, the orcs will be even more crazy, they will be eager to capture here, behind our Blackstone Fortress, there are large areas of food waiting to be harvested."

"Those orcs will definitely attack desperately after they have no food! So our pressure is even greater than before!" Count Wien said with a solemn expression.

"The closer to death, the crazier it becomes. After craziness comes silence, and before dawn is the darkest hour!"

Zhenbei City is actively preparing for the battle, and Su Lun also attaches great importance to the large-scale attack of the orcs. Even Zhenbei City needs to be careful to deal with the orc army of more than 100,000 people. The Eagle Nest has also dispatched many harpy leaders to investigate. Every move of the orc army was recorded by them and reported to Sulun.

Sheriff Harris was very busy during this time. All the 300-strong security team was released to patrol the city 24 hours a day to prevent people from taking the opportunity to make trouble. The 2,000-strong militia team was also reorganized. These militiamen did not Need to go to the battlefield, just follow the security team to maintain the stability of Zhenbei City.

All the troops in Zhenbei City have also been recalled. As long as Su Lun gives an order, these troops will be dispatched immediately.

Lord's Castle.

Su Lun cleaned up a room and used it as a battle hall. At this time, in the battle hall, except for those who had tasks, the rest of the generals and heroes were here. In the center of the room was a huge sand table, on which were vivid pictures. The Blackstone Fortress, the orc army, and Zhenbei City were all marked out.

"Who do you think won the battle in the end?" Su Lun looked at the generals and asked.

"I don't know." Dushi and Johnson looked at the sand table and some at Su Lun. They looked like I didn't understand anything. Su Lun didn't have any surprises about these two idiots. He was used to it.

Kane looked at it 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 Blackrock Fortress. According to the way the orcs play, although there will be heavy casualties, Blackrock Fortress will definitely hold up. not going down."

"What about you?" Su Lun looked at Karina and Grace.

"I think humans will win, after all orcs don't have much food"
