Ryan and Ellendor thought that after their information was submitted, General Keenster, the leader of the Thor Fortress garrison, would meet with them once to learn about the situation in person, but who knows to wait, wait for more than ten days. Nothing happened.

In the past ten days, the orc wolf cavalry has become more and more rampant. Not only did they push their blockade 10 kilometers south, they also pushed into the area ten kilometers outside the Thor Fortress several times. The area that can be seen standing on the wall of Thor's Fortress.

As General Keenster said, the time to come will always come. With the emergence of an army of orcs, an army of orcs successively came to the outside of Thor Fortress.

General Keenster immediately raised the security of Thor's Fortress to the highest level, and arranged for the soldiers to take turns to guard it day and night to prevent the orc army from attacking at any time. Some subordinates approached General Keenster, suggesting that taking advantage of the opportunity of the orc army being camped, sending heavy cavalry to assault them, may be able to obtain unexpected benefits. However, the defending General Keenster was worried about encountering an ambush by the orcs, so he rejected the suggestion on the spot and issued a strict order: "Anyone who fights will be executed on the spot for treason!"

So, the garrison of Thor’s Fortress watched as the fifty thousand orcs lined up in a square formation on the wall. They were standing in formation about ten kilometers away from him, and further afield, more than fifty thousand orcs stayed day and night. To build a camp.

After three busy days, the camp of the orcs was built about fifteen kilometers away from the Thor Fortress. The entire camp stretches for more than ten kilometers and is divided into several parts. On the outskirts of the camp, facing the Thor Fortress, the orcs dug out criss-cross pits. Each deep pit is ten meters wide and at least five meters deep. At first glance, it is known that it is used to prevent human sneak attacks and cavalry assaults. Not all of these deep pits were dug through. About every 100 meters, there would be a section of about ten meters that was not passive. It would be a passage for the orc army to dispatch.

Behind these passages, the orcs used the excavated dirt to pile up dirt hills about three meters high. Most of these were stationed by orc archers. As long as these dirt hills were guarded, they could stand on high ground to prevent human troops from attacking the beasts from these passages. People's Daying. Under such tight defense, the human army will pay a very painful price if it wants to successfully step through the deep pit and enter the orc camp.

In the most central part of all camps, a ten-meter-high dirt mountain was piled up. A huge tent was built under the dirt mountain. It is believed that it is the residence of the highest leader of the orc army, and the other camps are just like everyone else. It guards the center like a star holding the moon. Afterwards, the scene of the orcs staying in the Thor Fortress stunned the garrison. A full 400,000 troops entered the camp in an orderly manner. All their soldiers held tightly in their hands, all of which were fine iron weapons.

Although the Thor Fortress is far away from the orc camp, it is so far that it is almost hard to see clearly with the naked eye. Although General Keynst is not allowed to fight in the garrison, it does not mean that General Keynst will not send a team to investigate. The orc armies who were waiting for them didn't care about these scouts on horseback. They only warned them with bows and arrows when they were close to them.

These scouts brought back news that shocked General Keenster: The elite army of orcs was 400,000, all equipped with iron weapons. Although this kind of iron weapon is inferior to the steel weapons deployed by the most elite armies of mankind, But it has reached and surpassed the weapon level of an ordinary human army. The soldiers of the orc army are full of spirit, high morale, and powerful combat effectiveness.

The more terrifying news is that on the passage between the orc camp and the blood fortress, there will be a barracks about every ten kilometers. Although the number of people in each barracks is only a few thousand, you must It is almost impossible to sneak attack on the supply line of the orcs, because as long as the orcs' transport troops strung the ox carts for transporting food with iron ropes and held them in place as an obstacle for an hour, they could receive more than 10,000 people's assistance. The human cavalry in the Thor Fortress is only 10,000. Even if they are dispatched, not to mention whether they can escape the detection of the orc scouts, even if they successfully attack the opponent's supply line, they will be surrounded by orc reinforcements because they have no backup. What's more, General Keenster didn't have the charm to send the only 10,000 heavy cavalry.

At this time, General Keenster remembered that there seemed to be a piece of information given to him by a mercenary group called Ryan. He searched for more than 30 minutes in his residence, and finally he At the bottom of the pile of official documents, a piece of information that was worthless to him was revealed.

It is undeniable that this information was not produced by a professional scout at all. Many key points were written vaguely, and even a lot of information that should have been the key point was ignored. The description of the orc army is completely correct. General Keenster felt a little regretful in his heart. If he had asked the mercenaries who wrote this information face to face earlier, perhaps he would have been prepared earlier.

General Keenster immediately sent his own soldiers to summon Ryan and others. However, his guards searched the entire "No. 2 Army Camp" and could not find Lane and others. Later, they only found out in the Mercenary Guild that this Lane was in the "No. 1 Camp" giant dumper position.

The reason why Ryan and the others are in this place that ordinary mercenaries can't get close to is all because of Lille and York. During the one month that Ryan and Allendo went out, Lille and York were also very worried about them, but these two high-level magicians had their own things to do, and it was impossible for them to go to the city wall and watch day by day like Flanner. When Ryan and the others came back, Lille and York immediately went to the door and invited Ryan and Allendo to come to their residence.

Who knows that General Keenster didn’t take the intelligence that Ryan and Allendo had risked to heart at all. Ryan and Allendo were so bored that they came to Lille and York in this giant boulder truck. Residence next to the position. They were chatting happily, and General Keynst’s soldiers approached the door.

Ryan and Allendo left without saying a word, and immediately followed General Keenster's soldiers. In the command post of Thor's fortress, General Keenster received Ryan and others. Ryan and Allendo once again told about their experiences in the North Taren Prairie. This time, because of the presence of General Keynst, who is familiar with military affairs, many things that Ryan and Allendo had overlooked were slowly reminded and truthfully told.

General Keenster listened to Ryan and Allendor's description without saying a word, waved his hand to let the soldiers send them away. In the hearts of Ryan and Allendo, they were dissatisfied with General Keynst’s behavior. They had shelved the information they had obtained at risk, but later found out that this information was important, so they called people for questioning. , And so rude to people.

However, Ryan and Ellendor still didn't say anything. After all, now that the orc army is near the city, General Keenster may have been under a lot of pressure. However, after Ryan and Allendo returned to their residence, they still sent a few complaints to Flanner. After all, they paid a lot for this information, but they did not get the attention they deserve. Can't be happy.

Flanner comforted them with some kind words. After all, this General Keynst came from a nobleman, and to several unknown mercenaries from civilians, doing so may have been very polite to him. After Ryan heard this explanation, he fell silent. This was the first time he felt the invisible but almost insurmountable gap between the nobleman and the commoner.
