Chapter 86 Five Hundred
"Quick, quick, get out of here right now, the wild beasts are coming." Hermila personally took command of the battle and asked the refugees who had just joined to register and leave as soon as possible. This place was about to become a battlefield.
"Come on, if you don't leave later, if the wild orcs come in, no one will be able to leave." There were two soldiers beside them, holding long wooden training swords in their hands and driving them away.
There is no way, time is very important now, no one dares to waste it, as for the process being rougher? To be honest, they are pretty good. If it were noble soldiers from other territories and these refugees were disobedient, it would be normal even if they were killed directly. The refugees felt miserable and could only follow them and retreat.
These people cannot be placed inside Hongshi Town for the time being, but need to be outside. After a certain amount of review, they will be placed inside and become residents of Hongsha Ridge after it is determined that there are no problems at all.
There are two soldiers beside Hermila who never stay away from Hermila. As long as they see any refugees who dare to approach, the two men will immediately drive them away. This kind of treatment doesn't even include a leg or a bald father.
At this moment, one leg had climbed up the ladder along the edge of the city wall to the top of the city wall. The longbow was still on his back, but the weapon in his hand was also replaced by a pea cannon.
After these days of training, I have a very good understanding of the performance of the pea cannon. In addition to the small amount of ammunition, this thing can be said to suppress bows and arrows in all aspects. Of course, one leg will not give up. Below, many soldiers pulled out the pea cannons stuck in the ground and quickly transported them to the city wall.
The city wall is very spacious, with a lot of space in front and back. Only fifty people can line up in the front, but in fact, five hundred people can be crammed into the top to fight. "The first team comes first, then retreats after the fight, then the second team comes up, and so on."
Holm shouted loudly to the soldiers, who responded immediately, and then the first team came forward. "These little bastards, if you don't give them a tense atmosphere, they really don't know this is a war."
One Leg smiled in his heart, but his face remained extremely serious. The soldiers were just experimenting and didn't know what the pea cannon meant, so they were very nervous. But tension is also time-sensitive. Before the wild orcs arrived, the soldiers' tension had slowly dissipated, as if this battle was nothing.
The refugees below have been evacuated, and the fortress is now filled with soldiers. "How are you preparing? Haven't the wild beasts arrived yet?"
I don’t know when, Hermila actually ran up on her own. Seeing Hermila, Yishan's expression suddenly changed: "Why are you up here? Get down quickly, it's very dangerous here."
"No, I am the governor of the territory, and I have the right to know everything about the territory."
"The consul is only in charge of internal affairs. The military is not yours, at least not now."
If it doesn’t work now, then it will work in the future? Hermila didn't know what she thought of, and her face turned red. "I'm not here to control you, I'm here to observe, and some future administrative orders can be adjusted based on this battle.
Just as One Leg was about to say something, a soldier in front said loudly: "Lord Holm, the wild beasts are coming. The number is estimated to be more than three hundred and continues to increase."
Now One Leg was in no mood to argue with Hermila. Quickly ran to the front, lay down behind the protective wall, and carefully observed the other side. "Since you don't want to go down, then go hide in the corner over there. It's not safe here."
Hermila didn't protest at this time and quickly ran to a corner. This is the place least likely to be attacked. Even if it is attacked, there will be stone peaks nearby to help block it, so it won't be a big problem.
Ahead, the wild orcs appeared one after another, more and more, and the momentum of charging with death made people feel that they were not running towards hundreds of people, but thousands of troops. If it were on the plains, many of the soldiers would probably be running away at this time. Even now, many soldiers have trembling legs and even whole bodies.
Many of these soldiers were civilians outside before they came to Red Sand Ridge, and they had seen many battles between wild orcs along the way. This fear has penetrated deep into my bones and cannot go away.
"Fortunately, there are only about five hundred." One Leg breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked serious on the surface. "Everyone is ready. There are five hundred orcs in total. Let them get within fifty meters and then attack."
At this moment, Black Skull and two people secretly came to the top of a nearby hill and wrapped themselves in a large number of leaves. Looking at it from a distance, it is impossible to tell that these are some people.
"Coming, coming, the wild orcs are coming, my God, these wild orcs are too powerful, can we deal with them?"
"Boss, the wild beasts seem to be a little bit beyond our expectations. Do you think we can deal with them?"
Black Skeleton snorted coldly: "If you can't deal with them, just wait until they leave. Anyway, as long as we have territory and population, we have everything. Don't forget, we are a bandit group, not a lord."
"I understand, boss, so let's see how these wild orcs destroyed Red Sand Ridge."
"Hehe, with those strange alchemical weapons, killing a few starfish without armor protection, and wanting to kill those wild orcs is simply a dream." Thinking of that kind of weapon, Black Skull still had a wave of fear in his heart. But he also knew the power of that weapon. It couldn't even penetrate a human, let alone these thick-skinned wild orcs.
The wild orcs howled while walking here. When they saw the city wall, or more accurately, the humans on the city wall, the wild orcs' eyes lit up.
"It's humans, it's a human city, there's a lot of food here." The wild orcs' pace quickened.
These wild orcs have also destroyed cities. In their impression, as long as there is a city with a wall, there must be a lot of food for them to eat. This wall is not as tall as the most powerful walls, how can it stop them. But it's not easy to attack the city. The wild orcs picked up stones on the ground while running.
Stones that are bigger than a human head can't be supported by ordinary city walls. Of course, the walls of the main city are tall, and they can't be attacked like this. But they didn't know what the situation was like over there.
"Get ready, the wild orcs are coming, everyone listen to my instructions, don't attack in advance." One leg shouted loudly.
