Chapter 42
"Hell, just run away like this, unwillingly!" Hongling
couldn't help gritting her teeth, the orcs had no experience in defending the city at all, and the general struggle between the orcs was attack and counterattack, and it was the same now.
Originally, there were more than 500 orcs in the city, and if the city was defended, the humans would have no way to do it, but the orcs didn't know how to defend the city at all, and they could only be beaten if they stayed on the city wall. The other party's catapult is not an ornament.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, let's go first, this city can't be defended, and the clansmen are almost transferred.
Red Ling gritted her teeth, "What about the warriors below!" "
They died for their clansmen, and they are our pride." "
The city that was finally occupied could have been used as a cornerstone of development, but it turned out to be a greedy merit...... The clansmen have already been transferred, and now they are withdrawn, unwillingly.
"Let's go, in ten minutes, let the soldiers who are blocking the enemy retreat!" A
hint of determination flashed in Hongling's heart, now is not the time to be emotional......
"Woo~"
A horn sounded, and the hero of the Jackal Clan, who was leading the warriors to resist at the city gate, couldn't help but look back.
"Warriors, our people are retreating, and we must stop these humans and not let them step into Crescent City. "
Roar!"
Listening to the words of the gnoll hero, the orcs couldn't help but increase their momentum.
"Cut, just stubbornly resist. At
the rear of the human army, a young man wearing the white robe of the Confucian of the Xia Kingdom closed the folding fan in his hand, and couldn't help but show a look of disdain.
"These aliens are disgusting.
"But it's very good, isn't it? Just those two hundred people have caused us a lot of trouble, and Lord Goodknight has said that the Crescent City will be restored to its original state before the Lantern Garden Festival.
A young general wearing a knight's Chinese heavy armor picked up the helmet beside him and said, "I have to go and help, otherwise that guy from Dynor may not be able to hold on."
Looking at the back of the general leaving, Confucius smiled coldly and said, "Bai Lan, don't think that you can act recklessly if Goodknight values you, sooner or later...... Hmph!" Bai
Lan rushed forward, directly confronting the orcs in front of him, with the bronze six-star and a half force, he rushed into the battlefield like a detonated bomb, where he went, there would be a vacant piece.
"Roar!"
The gnoll hero naturally saw Bai Lan as well, and immediately threw aside the hero who had been cut half to death on the side and rushed towards Bai Lan.
"You're very strong!" The
jackal was still a little self-aware, feeling the aura emanating from Bai Lan's body, and cautiously stayed aside and watched Bai Lan.
"Gnoll, Sinder, challenge you!" "
Oh? So you gnolls also follow the orc dueling convention? I thought only the minotaurs still retain this Xi."
Bai Lan looked at the gnoll man in front of him with interest, straightened his body and said, "Bai Lan, human, accept your challenge!"
.........
Crescent City is in full swing, and the people in the conference room in Bluestone Town are also in full swing, some suggesting that they should stick to the territory and consolidate their foundation, and some suggest participating in the same footing. There are even some people who suggest that Goodknight should not be allowed to grow bigger, and that he should directly attack Goodknight's territory now.
"So I said, just take Goodknight's Lan Town ......
"How did you get in?"
Looking at Trus, who was talking, Angela and the others were at a loss: "I didn't let you come, you are the new commander, and you can't participate in this meeting."
Truss said with a look of indifference: "Beautiful Miss Angela, obviously said that so heroes attend the meeting, I am also a hero, besides, am I not giving you ideas?" "
Forget it, Angela, let him be, it's good to have one more person." Let's move on to the discussion. "
Chen Mo started to be a good gentleman.
"Lord Chen Mo, this is not in accordance with the regulations, and Trus has just come here and doesn't know the specific situation, so he is here to disrupt the process of the meeting.
Chen Mo looked at Trus, who was standing there with a smile that he thought was sunny. Never mind.
"Well, Angela, you continue, Trus, don't talk and then deduct your salary. "
Okay, Lord Chen Mo, in my opinion, when Goodknight occupies Crescent City, his territory will be extended, the border will naturally increase, and the orcs who have suffered losses will definitely not give up, so Goodknight will have to draw more troops to defend against the orcs. "
...... Agree with Sister Angela. The
only thing that said that Ash didn't understand anything was Angela, who seemed to make sense.
Chen Mo thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, and occupying Crescent City is not really helpful to us, it is just a city, and we don't have extra troops, so we don't have a piece of chicken." "
There are people in Chen Mo's territory, but there is not much money, the minerals of the bluestone are very rich, and there are gold mines, but since the orc attack and population migration, those gold coins have been spent like flowing water, and now the treasury has been exhausted, plus it is the middle of the month, and there is still a period of time before the tax collection ......
Alas, I only got three skill books, alas, do you want to hold a commendation conference and send out those skill books as rewards.
"Lord Lord?"
Seeing that Chen Mo suddenly lost his mind, the officials present couldn't help but call out.
"Ah, uh, well, then it's decided, stick to it, especially in Shanlun Town, I will send a large number of displaced people to build it, and I will also send some more soldiers over. By the way, Trus, you can go too, after all, it is the closest place to the hostile forces.
Truss smiled again and said, "No problem, but don't you need to guard against Count Chennai?" "
Over there, uh, no. "
I'm not too sure, but there should be no danger on Yukina's side for the time being.
The plan was finalized, and just as the officials and heroes were about to negotiate some details, a hunter panicked in.
"What's the matter, didn't you know we were in a meeting?" the
military minister couldn't help but frown.
"I'm sorry, because the intelligence is too urgent. The
hunter wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Crescent City has been captured.
"So fast? impossible, even if ...... Wait, did the orcs take the initiative to retreat?"
Chen Mo suddenly remembered something.
"Yes, the orcs have no sense of defending the city at all, and they retreated directly when they saw that they were defeated. With the speed at which wolf hunting spreads intelligence, it is now estimated that Goodknight's forces have completely captured Crescent City.
"Got it, you go drink water and rest first. "
Thank you, Lord Lord, for your concern. The
hunter stepped back, and there was silence in the room again.
"There's no need to discuss it now, just stick to it. "
The order was carried out, and the town of Yamawa had twice as many troops as before, and with the addition of the new townspeople who had moved there, the entire town was transformed into a fortress.
