The dangling orc warrior saw the human archer on the wall drew another arrow. He roared, and he didn't rely on two feet to climb at all. He simply used the strength of his arm to grab the wooden ladder. Fast forward at both ends. The human archer shot two arrows in succession, one arrow was avoided by him, and the other arrow hit his left shoulder, which did not affect his crawling speed in the slightest.

The orc soldier climbed up in a few steps. He stomped on the wooden ladder with his feet, and jumped more than a meter high, and his whole body jumped directly up. The orc soldier was still in the air, and he had already clenched the dagger that was in his mouth with his right hand, aimed at the human archer who had repeatedly shot himself, and rushed over.

The longbow in the hands of a human archer couldn't resist at all. He staggered back and touched his waist, preparing to draw out the short sword for self-defense. But the orc pounced at a speed much faster than he could draw his sword, and the human archer was about to die under the orc warrior's short sword. He only heard a loud drink, and the training swept through from top to bottom, cutting the half-air eared orc into two pieces, but the human warrior with the battle axe attacked and rescued his companion.

The orc was chopped into two pieces by an axe. Of course, his forward thrust fell to the ground with a thump. The human archer escaped from death. He retracted his right hand from the sword and pulled out a quiver from his back. The feathered arrow shot into the head of the orc soldier who fell on the ground, harvesting his life.

After the human warrior holding the battle axe cut off with an axe, he did not stop at all, and rushed directly to the edge of the city wall. At the same time, another orc warrior emerged. Before the orc warrior could react, the human giant axe warrior rounded the axe in his hand again and chopped off half of the orc's head.

Blood spurted out and splashed the face of this human giant axe warrior. The latter didn't even care about wiping it, but picked up the axe in his hand again, because the third orc climbed up again.

"Puff!" A feather arrow passed by the human giant axe warrior, and in the middle of the climbing orc's face, the orc covered his face and fell down.

Don't ask, this is the masterpiece of that human archer. The human giant axe warrior roared loudly: "Brothers, come on, kill these green-skinned bastards!"

"Yes, kill them!" Not far away, a human soldier responded loudly, and accompanied by a scream from an orc, the soldier who responded cut off an orc soldier who was about to climb the city wall with a sword. .

Inspired by the human giant axe warriors, the human soldiers became more brave, and their cooperation became more and more tacit. In fact, the human soldiers stationed in Thor Fortress are training almost daily, combat skills, teammate cooperation...everything has been practiced tens of thousands of times for today’s battle. Geographical advantage.

A few months ago, most of the orc warriors were herders. They were hurriedly called together, and they crossed the vast northern Taren prairie. They rested in the Beast Blood Fort for a while, and barely accepted the most basic. Military training, without cooperation, is based solely on instinct to fight. .Mobile viewing

The weapons of orc soldiers are far inferior to human soldiers. They have no defensive armor. Only a few people have self-made wooden shields. When climbing the city wall, they do not have large siege equipment, and even use wooden ladders to climb the city wall. It was a mess of swarms, everyone crowded together, and many times a rock was dropped and a large number of people were injured.

The orcs have no archers, so they can't talk about using long-range shooting to suppress the defenders. Human soldiers standing on the walls can kill and injure the enemy at will. Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the war is one-sided. However, the human soldiers still saw the strength of the orcs, and many orcs even forcibly climbed the city wall. However, with human superior forces, almost all of them were killed as soon as they stepped on the wall.

"Swish! Swish!" Dozens of rockets were nailed to the orc's battering ram, and the flames soon ignited. The orc soldiers who were still trying to push the stakes against the city wall could no longer continue, so they had to run out. Of course, they were greeted by boulders, logs and feather arrows.

The battle is still going on, but now there are less than 3,000 of the tens of thousands of orc soldiers. No matter what everyone knows, the outcome of this battle is clear.

When the last orc fell into a pool of blood with seventeen arrows in his body, the entire Thor Fortress suddenly fell into a strange silence, but this silence only lasted more than ten seconds. The human soldiers stationed on the city wall immediately uttered a triumphant cheer, and this huge cheer immediately spread throughout the Thor Fortress inside and outside.

The orc army in the distance did not make any response to the result of this battle. They did not send follow-up troops to support them, and just watched all their companions die on the battlefield. This really puzzled General Clark, so he immediately dispatched the messengers around him to report all this to General Keenster who was in the command post.

A moment later, General Keynst received a report from the front-line commander, General Clark, and immediately walked onto the wall with his adjutant and a dozen guards.

Looking at the few orc corpses on the city wall, and then at the large swaths of orc corpses lying in a pool of blood outside the city wall, as well as the corpses of many human soldiers, General Keenster was slightly disoriented. The orc army is more powerful than the legend. Looking at the orc positions in the distance, General Keenster was surprised to find that the more elite orc warriors were actually slowly retreating and retreating to the camp in an orderly manner.

General Keynst’s heart was very strange. In the previous battle, although the attacking orc soldiers were wiped out, it did not mean that the orcs were lost, because those orc soldiers were all old, weak, sick, and disabled. Their most elite army is still a few kilometers away.

"Report to General Keynst!" General Clark strode up to General Keynst and said loudly: "The results have been counted."

"Speak."

"Yes, sir." General Clark said loudly: "Our soldiers killed 73 people, injured 46 people seriously, and injured 159 people slightly. Repair. Feather arrows consume more than 410,700 pieces. Stone bullets consume..."

"Tell me about the orcs." General Keenster did not intend to continue listening, because the reserves of these strategic materials in Thor Fortress are quite huge, and this little loss is just a small fraction.

"Yes, sir." General Clark thought for a while, and said loudly, "About 29,000 to 33,000 people were killed in the orcs. The specific data needs further statistics to destroy the orcs and the siege. Twenty ladders and siege rams each. No orc captives were captured."

"Then what is the quality of these orc soldiers? You have been commanding at the front line, so you should have the most direct experience."

"Report sir, most of these orc soldiers are old orcs, and there are almost no young soldiers. Their weapons are quite poor, most of them are equipped with bronze weapons, and they have little protection. But they are very brave, yes. Yes, very brave, able to use the simplest wooden ladder to climb the city wall many times under such tight defense of our army, although they were killed as soon as they stepped on the city wall, that is because our number advantage is too obvious."

General Keenster waved his hand to indicate that he knew it. He looked at the orc army in the distance. At this moment, the more than 100,000 elite orc warriors had all withdrawn to the camp, leaving only a large empty space.

"It seems that the orcs are testing the defensive power of Thor's Fortress," General Keynst came to this conclusion after pondering over and over, "The orcs can also make simple siege equipment, but obviously their soldiers At least, these soldiers in the first battle were not very good at using them. Maybe they are going to go back and research more effective methods, maybe they are going to make more siege equipment?"

"It seems that the defense of Thor Fortress needs to be reconsidered. Only 60,000 people are stationed at a time. Will it be slightly less?" General Keynst thought silently: "Perhaps, I should adjust the deployment of the military. However, the number has been increased. Originally, it was divided into three troops and took turns to rest and reorganize. Now it is bound to be combined into two troops, which will cause the soldiers to be unable to take turns to rest well."

Hans standing on the side seemed to have guessed General Keynst’s thoughts, and suddenly whispered: "General, there are many mercenaries, so let’s use it."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Okay, General. These mercenaries may not be as good as our soldiers for combat, but they should be used for vigil, watch, and transport materials, etc., should they be good? So that our soldiers can do it. Get the greatest rest."

General Keenster nodded. This is a good idea. It's best to use these mercenaries to watch the night. Most of them will have similar experiences when taking risks. They should be more experienced. Just send them. Some elite soldiers are mixed with them, so there is no need to worry about their mistakes. The other soldiers can rest more in the camp to maximize their physical strength. Moreover, the tasks of vigil and watching are not very dangerous. As long as the warning is issued in advance, and the soldiers take over the defense line on the city wall, they will have nothing to do.

"Let's do it then." After thinking about all this, General Keenster issued an order: "Go to the Mercenary Guild and release the mission. First recruit 2,000 mercenaries, then select 8,000 soldiers, and mix with them. This Ten thousand people are divided into two groups, taking turns to watch the night and watch. You will arrange the specific matters. Be sure to ensure safety."

"Yes, Lord General!" Hans stood upright and performed a standard military ritual
