Chapter 70 Blood and Glory! (in)

(Secondly, the goal of 10,000 words has been achieved. Today, I will try to burst 15,000 words!)

----------------------------------

The Second Age, May 6th.

early morning.

The half-orcs again stormed the fortress in the morning.

The attack this time was much more violent than yesterday, and siege equipment such as catapults were also put into use. Athens began to suffer casualties, but the amount of casualties was not large. In contrast, the loss of the Orcs would be much greater, and less than a quarter of them could return alive.

Because of the heavy rain last night, the air still looked netbsp; the trebuchet stopped after only a few times of work, and it seemed that those half-orcs also discovered that the wet air had a great impact on the trebuchet.

Without the support of large siege equipment, an attack on the fortress would have no meaning.

Faced with such a fortress, it is difficult to contribute by manpower alone, unless those half-orcs can organize an army of top fighters and send them to the wall to fight.

This is obviously impossible!

………………

fortress.

Murphy was sitting on the city wall with a cloth and wiping the blood on the sword. He also participated in several battles today.

There were a few gaps in the long sword, which were left when slashing against the Orc soldiers. Although the new weapons produced in the territory are of superior quality, they are not enough to form absolute suppression. In head-to-head battles, twenty-seven forged steel weapons will still leave gaps.

The orcs' weapons are not good, but their weapons are very thick and heavy, which are very suitable for slashing.

It is very lethal in battle.

Chasing the long sword into the scabbard, Murphy got up and tidied the armor on his body. There was a lot of blood on his body, but it was someone else's.

Because a cross cut chopped off the head of a half-orc, the crimson blood spewing out was more than a meter high and almost covered Murphy's whole body.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

There was a desolate horn in the distance.

The half-orcs lined up five hundred meters below the city wall began to withdraw their troops.

"They're back to camp." Murphy said solemnly, staring at a tall figure sitting on a giant wolf.

That was the only half-orc general that Murphy had seen so far. He was very tall, nearly two meters tall, with a scar on his face extending from his ears to his lips. He had sharp eyes and a hideous face.

From morning to noon, and then to afternoon.

The half-orcs did not make a second attack, and the entire half-orcs camp was quietly brewing a depressing silence.

at dusk.

Murphy stood solemnly on the head of the city in thought, and several generals stood around him.

"What are the plans of those half-orcs?" General Marcus Kane furrowed his brows, and he didn't understand why the army of half-orcs, with obvious superiority in force, was so slow to attack.

Murphy looked back at him and said slowly, "They are waiting for someone."

"Waiting for whom?" General Riodare asked.

"Wait for the human coalition."

Murphy sighed softly, and it seemed that there was really no reinforcement for Athens this time.

If the half-orcs set up momentum to attack Athens from the beginning, I am afraid that the coalition forces of the noble council are already on the way. As long as a forward and backward attack can be formed, the half-orcs may not be able to take advantage of this battle.

But now the half-orcs' unhurried offensive is undoubtedly sending a message to the noble council.

"Put around for help!"

They were forcing the noble council to come to rescue, and forcing the human coalition to fight them in this plain area!

If the human city-state is a whole, there is a ruler who does not need much to have a little courage, Murphy will be sure to defeat the army of half-orcs here!

But the problem is that the war with the jackals has almost wiped out the courage of the noble council.

Knowing that the half-orcs are leading them out to fight to the death in the plains, those nobles who have begun to decay because of their enjoyment may not have that courage.

Perhaps for them, relying on city walls for defense is the best tactic.

After all, half-orcs don't have much food.

Murphy really wanted to tell the silly people of the noble council loudly at this moment: Athens has a lot of food! Much! And it only takes another half a month to harvest!

"What if the human coalition doesn't come?" General Jerry Rivard asked.

Murphy looked at the rear of the southern plains, and said solemnly: "That just happened to drive away those half-orcs."

There was a sound of inhaling air-conditioning behind him.

If the Noble Council really sends reinforcements to rescue, then the Orcs can let go of their hands and attack Athens. This means they will face the army of half-orcs alone.

"Those aborigines really don't believe it like that!?"

"We signed an agreement with them."

Covenant?

That thing is simply a mess, how can you count on a covenant at a critical moment.

Enemies are far more difficult to deal with than imagined.

They did not rush to attack, let the aristocratic council cast a rat stopper, and then put pressure on the Athenian territory. If the Noble Council sends reinforcements, they have to compete with them in this plain area. If the aristocratic council does not send reinforcements, they can safely take Athens without any worries.

Regardless of the result, the half-orcs can always achieve one goal.

"What should I do now?" I don't know who asked.

Murphy turned around and glanced at the generals behind him, and slowly said, "Sleep!"

go to bed? !

Several generals looked at each other in astonishment, and some did not understand Murphy's meaning.

Murphy didn't explain, just turned around and walked towards his residence with a guard.

Since the initiative is in the hands of the enemy, it is useless to do anything now. All arrangements can only be dealt with after the decision of the noble council. If the Council of Nobles sent troops, then Athens would also send troops to fight to the death with the half-orcs with a force of flanking on both sides! This battle counts the strength of Athens, and the outcome is 50-50. However, the noble council estimates that there is only a 30% chance of winning at most, because they may not believe that Athens has the ability to build a strong wall behind the army of half-orcs!

If the Noble Council did not send troops, then Athens could only face the enemy alone.

However, it is impossible for the army of half orcs to attack Athens. If such a strategy can be used, the commander of the half orcs will definitely mobilize more than half of the army to guard against sudden attacks by the human coalition. According to Murphy's estimation, the number of enemies he really has to face is about 50,000, which is twice the total population of Athens!

Walk down the city wall.

Murphy shook his head and sighed, "I hope they still have a little courage."

If the Noble Council really does not send troops to assist, the situation in Athens will become very passive, and I am afraid that I will have to abandon this fortress to defend the city of Athens.

But those grains that are about to mature...

………………

The Second Age, May 5th.

On the day when the Orcs approached the city, Mrs. Elizabeth also received the news that Canyon Pass had been captured.

Without hesitation, she immediately led a group of cavalry to the rear of the southern plain, and asked the noble council to send troops to help Athens.

In the face of such a huge army of half-orcs, relying on the thousands of miscellaneous soldiers in her hand is of no use. If you want to lift the siege of Athens, you must mobilize the army of the noble council.

………………

On May 6, the city of Sarros.

"These bastards! Cowards! Cowards!"

Mrs. Elizabeth, who came back from the noble council, looked like an angry tigress. She angrily drew out her sword and chopped everything in the room, scaring the family knights who were guarding outside the house from entering at all.

After the room was quiet, the middle-aged knight who had been following Mrs. Elizabeth only carefully opened the door.

"Madam, don't they agree to send troops?" the middle-aged knight asked.

Mrs. Elizabeth shook her head and said angrily: "That group of guys are noisy and noisy like girls!"

"In other words, there hasn't been a result of arguing so far?" The middle-aged knight frowned and asked cautiously.

Time to create gods has passed, almost two days.

Rescuing soldiers is like fighting fire. After such a long delay in creating gods, there is still no result. What is the difference between not sending troops to rescue?

Clang!

Mrs. Elizabeth bitterly split the desk in front of her and said, "These old foxes!"

The middle-aged knight looked solemn and said nothing.

If the Council of Nobles does not send troops to assist Athens, then after Athens is broken, the next to face the army of half-orcs is the territory of Lady Elizabeth, Viscount Borna, and Count Xavies.

These three territories are exactly a sloping corner, and any one of them is likely to be attacked by a half-orc, and any one of them can be penetrated deep behind the southern plain.

Thinking of it, the middle-aged knight suddenly became uneasy.

He looked at Mrs. Elizabeth in front of him, and said, "Madam. What is the state of Parliament now?"

The angry Mrs. Elizabeth took a few breaths and calmed down for a while. The rich and plump ups and downs carried an astonishing fascination. The middle-aged knight looked away quickly after only a glance.

"The nobles whose military headquarters and territories are close to the front line agree to send troops to assist, but the nobles behind the southern plains insist on holding on, waiting for the orcs to run out of food and retreat."

"That group of idiots! Actually said that Athens is an outsider's territory! There is no need to venture out because of it to fight the orcs in the plains!"

The aristocratic council is polarized.

First of all, the nobles with the territory close to the rear firmly agreed that they could not stand firm, and believed that there was no need to risk fighting the half-orcs in the plains for a mere Athens. For thousands of years, mankind's best way of fighting is defense. Backed by a solid city wall, no race has ever been able to defeat humans in a true sense.

This is also the main reason why humans have been trapped in the southern plains for thousands of years.

If you don't take the initiative to attack, you must withstand the attack of others.

Fight in your own home, even if you really win.

The home is almost demolished.

And these nobles who opposed the battle almost all thought that the people in Athens were outsiders, who had migrated from other places, and their origins were mysterious.

Not reliable.

Rather than expending strength to choose an unfavorable war and half-orcs battle, it would be better to let Athens consume a group of half-orcs first. In this way, the strength of the orcs when they go south will also be greatly affected. The military power of Athens, the Noble Council has never stopped collecting intelligence, and the Spartan-style civil structure of the whole people fighting really makes these aboriginals feel a little scared.

Another point of view is that troops should be dispatched, not only should troops be dispatched, but troops must be dispatched immediately!

Most of the nobles holding this school of views are behind Athens, even if they are not behind Athens, they are not too far away. For them, if Athens is captured, the next battlefield is their territory. This is definitely not what they hoped for. So instead of waiting until Athens is captured and passively challenged, it is better to take the initiative to send troops to join Athens to give the half-orcs a front and back attack!

It is worth mentioning that Grand Duke Rowton Childe, who had pitted Murphy the last time, was actually an intermediate force supporting the initiative to fight.

The remaining faction is military strength.

Most of these noble generals believe that troops should be sent immediately. Because they absolutely do not want to repeat the tragedy of the Jackal!

At that time, it was because the passive defense delayed the fighter that the Jackal was able to penetrate.

………………

May 7th.

Another day's useless quarrel, the whole parliament hall looks like a messy vegetable market.

On this day, Mrs. Elizabeth did not try to persuade the nobles as hard as she did yesterday, she just stared coldly at the nobles everywhere. Now she understood. The intention of these nobles is to delay the creation of gods!

Drag until Murphy can't hold it.

As long as it is delayed until Athens is captured, it is equal to them winning.

Fight separately, save your strength!

The noble parliament system under the enfeoffment system does not have a strong voice to dominate everything!

Mrs. Elizabeth finally understood a little bit why mankind would desire the birth of a ‘king’ so much. Because unless it is something that threatens the entire race, these nobles have their own small abacus and careful thinking in their hearts.

It is impossible to truly unite together.

………………

After communicating this, Mrs. Elizabeth slowly got up.

Clang!

She drew out the sharp sword from her waist, and then in the dull eyes of the three grand princes and many nobles in the parliament, a sword split the entire long parliament table in half from the middle!

"enough!!!"

The [Purple Thorn Flower], which is famous for its beauty and wisdom, is like a tigress protecting her calf. She looked around with cold eyes and suddenly roared: "You stupid group! Idiots! Cowards!"

"It is because of you stupid group! Jackals will take advantage of this! It is because of you stupid group! Half-beasts can destroy our allies without scruple!"

"It is because of you group of silly bīs! Human beings are invaded by other races time and time again!!!"

"When will you bother here!?"

The angry Mrs. Elizabeth threw everything out of the sky. Regardless of the image of a lady, she pointed at the nobles in front of her and shouted. The nobles who were shocked by the angry expression were dumbfounded, and each of them had big mouths and didn't know what to say. The whole council hall looked at Mrs. Elizabeth roaring in such a daze.

In particular, the word ‘silly bī’ learned from Murphy stunned the nobles for a long time.

One silly bī appeared one after another.

Finally the cursing was over, the cursing was cool, enough to vent, and I felt comfortable.

Mrs. Elizabeth regained her former calm and gracefulness. She raised her white fingers and gently raised them, looked around, and said coldly: "Since you are not going."

"I go!"

After speaking, Mrs. Elizabeth turned the sword netbsp; she turned around and walked out of the parliament hall without a word. When she reached the door, she stopped for a while, turned her head, and said every word: "You Really like a group of girls!"

After speaking, he left without looking back.

Hum!

As soon as Mrs. Elizabeth left, the entire council was fried.

"This woman is crazy!"

"She actually called me stupid!"

"She actually said that I look like a girl! Unreasonable!"

………………

The sudden explosion of Mrs. Elizabeth was dumbfounded for several silly curses, and the other two grand princes who came back to their senses were so angry that their beards almost turned up.

But only Grand Duke Rowton Childe said nothing, watching the back of Mrs. Elizabeth going away, the corners of his mouth evoked a playful arc.

The parliament has almost no need to continue.

Grand Duke Luotong Childe got up and tidied his collar, and then took the lead to leave.

"This woman!"

"It's a good method."

As he left, he murmured in a low voice.

………………

Back to the residence.

Mrs. Elizabeth tidied things up a bit, and then prepared to leave with the family knight.

She now finds that her visit here is simply the most idiotic thing she has ever done in her life.

"Madam." The middle-aged knight led the horse to her side. After hesitating for a while, he said, "If you do this, the consequences are probably..."

"as a result of!"

Mrs. Elizabeth smiled coldly, UU read www.uukanshu.com and said: "What is the consequence?"

"What are the consequences?"

"In addition to the phalanx in Athens, who else can fight the Orcs on the frontal battlefield?"

"Even Athens has been broken. Do you think our territory can be defended by those idiots?"

"If Athens is captured."

"If we offend them, there will be no consequences at all!"

As Murphy's most important aboriginal partner, she knows exactly how powerful Athens is. If even Athens cannot be defended, can these coalition forces alone be able to keep the front line?

I'm afraid it will be another war that has to be filled with lives in the end!

"And." Mrs. Elizabeth paused when she said that, she raised her hand to lift the long forehead, and said quietly: "Don't reason with a blind woman who is in love."

"They are all crazy!"
