MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 624 : Great defeat outside the Great Wall!
The Buluo Fortress is a group of castles composed of a large castle and many small and medium castles. Each castle is connected by a low wall, preventing the orcs of the Red Scorpion Khanate from stepping into the Silver Moon Kingdom.
But this is not the front line of defense of the Silver Moon Kingdom.
In front of the defense chain of the Buluo Fortress, there are 20 or 30 pioneers who are responsible for early warning of wars and assisting in resisting the invasion of orcs.
When the army of 250,000 orcs attacked, these pioneering territories were powerless to resist, and turned into a sea of flames in an instant. Only a small number of people were able to escape into the castle of Buluo Fortress.
The defenders of the fortress with insufficient troops had no choice but to abandon all the low walls and hide in the castle, and then were surrounded by the orc army.
On the high wall of the main castle, looking at the overwhelming army of orcs, Delrin, the head of the Second Legion, asked with a frosty face, "Can you establish magic communication with the king's capital?"
Half a month ago, he discovered that something was wrong, and completely lost contact with the conquering army, but before he could find out the reason, the orc army had already arrived at the door.
This only means one thing, the conquest army is probably suspended...
There is also His Majesty the King himself, Delrin dare not think about how much it will affect the morale of the fortress defenders if the king is killed or captured.
The garrison mage shook his head: "No, the orcs have come to two shaman groups this time, completely blocking our spell communication, and the news cannot be sent out at all."
Delrin's heart sank again, the two shaman groups, and the two goshawk warrior groups he observed, the Red Scorpion Khanate is coming out in full force!
As two countries that have been facing each other for thousands of years, the national strength of the Silver Moon Kingdom and the Red Scorpion Khanate is almost the same, and the number of spellcasters and flying units is almost the same.
However, under normal circumstances, the Silvermoon Kingdom would only retain one, established mage group and griffin group, and the rest of the mages and griffin knights were scattered among the navy and the three major legions.
This time to conquer the Red Scorpion Khanate, the mage group and the griffin group brought by the king are probably suspended...
It is equivalent to saying that the current Silvermoon Kingdom only has a few scattered mages and griffin knights, which cannot support such a large army to fight.
Also, since he couldn't contact the capital through spell communication, he had to immediately send someone to break out of the encirclement and pass the news of the orc army's attack to the capital.
And, the defeat outside the Great Wall, the entire army of the conquest was wiped out, and the news that the king might be captured or killed...
"Bring the Bronco Cavaliers." Delrin closed his eyes and made a decision. He wanted to use his most elite troops in exchange for the opportunity to deliver news.
This time, the orcs came fiercely, and our own side was defeated, and our troops were seriously insufficient.
The Buluo Fortress is likely to fall. If you don't prepare in advance, the Silvermoon Kingdom will be in danger...
"Your Excellency, you are looking for me." Bronco, who took over the Knights of the King's Shield in middle age, became more mature and stable.
"I need you to lead the Knights of the King's Shield, break through the siege of the orcs, and deliver the news to the capital. Are you confident in doing so?" Delrin asked without looking back.
Bronco's body trembled suddenly. Although he had a vague guess, when the order came, he still felt a little heavy in his heart.
The orc army outside has a total of 250,000 people, supported by shaman groups and flying troops, and the King's Shield only has 500 people.
"Yes, even if you die, you must pass on the news!" But even so, Bronco agreed bravely.
Because now, only the Knights of the King's Shield can break through.
He had no choice, and Silvermoon Kingdom had no choice either, either to wait for death, or to use sacrifice in exchange for victory.
"You break out from the front, and I will let people break out from the rear to cover you." Delrin said after thinking about it.
In order to prevent someone from breaking out of the encirclement and passing the news back to the interior of Silvermoon Kingdom, the orcs arranged the back of Buluo Fortress more tightly than the front.
Breaking out from the front at this time, although it may take some more detours, it is still somewhat possible to escape.
"Understood, I'm going to prepare now!" Bronco didn't talk nonsense, and immediately began to gather the knights. He knew which route to take to break through from the front.
After Bronco left, Delrin stood alone on the city wall, looking at the dense orc army below, with neither joy nor sadness on his face.
Perhaps for them, death is a foregone conclusion.
But the longer you stick to it, the greater the vitality of the Silver Moon Kingdom. Even if you fight to the last person, you must not lose the fortress!
"Are you okay?" Mrs. Karna came to him and put a coat on him.
"It's okay, I'm just a little emotional, things are impermanent!" Delrin said with a wry smile, the situation changed so fast that no one could react to it.
Why did the more prosperous Silver Moon Kingdom fall into this state?
"The poison is ready." Kana said with a lonely expression.
If the orcs break through the fortress, poison is definitely the best relief for these female relatives, otherwise, once they are caught, they will definitely die.
"Well, sorry!" Delrin murmured in a low voice.
His wife and daughter were both in the fortress. As a husband and father, he really failed to fulfill his responsibility to protect them.
…
A fortress defender with thousands of people broke through from the back of the fortress, but was stopped by the orc army, trapped in a tight siege, and gradually overwhelmed by the orcs like a wave.
But at the same time, it also drew most of the attention of the orcs.
The Knights of the King's Shield are all carefully selected warriors with outstanding martial arts skills. In addition to the thin version of the enchanted plate armor equipped on their bodies, after sacrificing most of them, they finally rushed out from the front.
The orc wolf cavalry moved quickly and quickly caught up. The remaining members fought all the way to the rear, covering Bronco and others to escape to the coast.
The Silvermoon Kingdom is a peninsula country with only a part of land inland. The Red Scorpion Khanate next to it is naturally also a coastal country.
The defense line of the fortress can completely stop the orcs of the Red Scorpion Khanate, and one of the ends is to block the coast.
Now that the King's Shield has broken through from the front, the only way to return to the Silvermoon Kingdom is by sea.
"Ha... ha... how many people are there?" Bronco, covered in blood, panted heavily.
They ran all the way and killed countless orcs. The long swords in their hands were full of gaps, and the plate armor on their bodies was also full of potholes.
Of the 500 knights, less than 20 are still alive.
"Ha... ha... Eleven, do you want to adjourn the meeting?" Sim, the deputy head, replied with difficulty.
So many brethren, all good guys, but unfortunately...all were killed by those orcs and bastards.
"No...can't rest, the wolf cavalry of the orcs will come after us soon, quickly take off the plate armor on our bodies, we must go into the water immediately and swim back!"
Even though he was exhausted, Bronco was still trembling, and went to take off the plate armor on his body, and the surviving soldiers immediately went to help.
Plate armor is heavy and difficult to put on and take off, and it must be assisted by other people.
Although the weight of this kind of plate armor is less than half of that of ordinary plate armor, it is obviously whimsical to want to swim in it.
"You...you take it off too!" Bronco said puzzledly after taking off the plate armor and seeing that the others were motionless.
"Boss, it's too late!" Sim pointed to not far away, where the orc wolf cavalry had already appeared, and the ferocious wolf was baring its teeth at them.
Bronco was silent for a moment, he knew what this meant.
"Boss, let's go, we will give you the rear, what if some of these dogs can swim?" The remaining soldiers clenched their long swords and smiled at Bronco.
Although the orcs' water skills are not good, it's not absolute. There are always some special existences that will break common sense, and they can't take this risk.
Bronco, who was silent for a long time, murmured in a low voice: "Farewell, my friend!"
Immediately, he plunged into the sea and swam quickly towards the Silver Moon Kingdom.
What he bears on him is not only his own life, but also the fate of the entire Silver Moon Kingdom. He cannot gamble with the fate of the entire kingdom.
"Come on! Puppies, do you have no bones to eat today? Come on, let the master feed you well." Seeing the wolf slowly approaching with bared teeth, Sim raised his **** provocatively.
The orc on the wolf's face was gloomy, and he patted the wolf's neck lightly, and the wolf immediately opened its **** mouth, and rushed towards Sim and the others.
Bronco, who was swimming farther and farther, turned his head and looked back, just in time to see Sim, who was fighting hard, being thrown down and bitten by several wargs at the same time, and the others also gradually fell down.
Too late to be sad, Bronco immediately swam vigorously again.
Now, he was not out of range of the bow and arrow. If he couldn't escape without a trace before the orcs killed everyone, then their sacrifice would be in vain.
…
"Father Khan, there is a well-equipped human cavalry that broke out from the front of the fortress, and one escaped." In the main camp of the orcs, the eldest prince Batu reported to the old Khan Wanghui.
"En." Thinking about a piece of plate armor in his hand, the old King Khan nodded flatly.
Compared with this trivial matter, he is more concerned about why the equipment of the defenders of Buluo Fortress is so good? Even everyone is equipped with half body armor.
"This...Father Khan, should we have made preparations earlier?" Batu asked puzzled.
"No, it doesn't matter if the Silvermoon Kingdom gets the news, the most important thing now is to win the Buluo Fortress!" the old Khan King said firmly.
At this time, Battle General Battelle gave a different opinion: "King Khan, the defense of the Silver Moon Kingdom is empty now. I think we can besiege the Buluo Fortress first, and then allocate some troops to break into them and destroy them everywhere. Silvermoon Kingdom!"
"That's right! The Buluo Fortress is well-defended, why don't we divide up our troops and slaughter the human towns first." Batu also felt that this proposal made sense.
"No, the most important thing now is to win the Buluo Fortress!"
The old Khan looked at the two of them without giving in, and asked slowly: "You think I don't know, if you divide your troops into the Silver Moon Kingdom now, will you achieve greater results?"
"But that's just short-sightedness!"
"As long as the unfallen fortress exists for a day, our Red Scorpion Khanate can only be beaten and cannot fight back!"
"Dividing troops and massacring cities and towns will definitely hurt the vitality of the Silver Moon Kingdom, but once the Holy Empire and other human nations come to help, we still can't do anything to them."
"At that time, as long as you cultivate for a hundred years, the Silver Moon Kingdom will still be the Silver Moon Kingdom!"
"But if we win the Buluo Fortress, then this will become our line of defense. At that time, we can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat. The offensive and defensive momentum will be reversed immediately, and the one being beaten will be replaced by the Silver Moon Kingdom."
"The northern border of the Silver Moon Kingdom is almost all plains. There is no danger to defend except the Yelin River, and the Yelin River is long and narrow. They simply cannot guard against the entire river."
"Fighting in the plains, our wolf cavalry look down on us, and humans can't stop them at all."
"In this way, the entire northern border of the Silver Moon Kingdom will become our territory!"
The deafening words of the old Khan King immediately awakened the two of them.
yes! As long as the Buluo Fortress is in the hands of the Silver Moon Kingdom, and with the support of other human nations, no matter how badly they are injured, there will always be a day of recovery, but the time will be a bit long.
Once the Silvermoon Kingdom regains its national strength, the two of them will remain the same. The Silvermoon Kingdom will hold on to the unfallen fortress and always occupy the initiative in the war.
But if you win the Buluo Fortress, everything will be different...
In the plain area, the wolf cavalry were swift and brave, marching at an extremely fast speed. At that time, the entire northern border of the Silver Moon Kingdom would never be peaceful.
And the northern border has always been the prosperous place of the Silvermoon Kingdom, if it is unable to defend the northern border, the Silvermoon Kingdom will be directly abolished!
The Red Scorpion Khanate is holding on to the fortress and is firmly seated on the basic market.
The Buluo Fortress is well-defended. As long as it defends here, even if the human nations join forces to attack, the Red Scorpion Khanate will not be afraid at all.
In this way, the overall situation is settled, and the Silver Moon Kingdom will never turn around!
Looking at the majestic old Khan, Battelle bowed his head obediently, his eyes full of fear.
This old guy is far more vicious than he imagined!
…
Bronco struggled to climb onto the shore ~www.novelbuddy.com~ and passed out.
First he fought **** battles, broke through the encirclement, and then swam hundreds of nautical miles, and he had lost any strength in his body.
The fishermen who were fishing on the coast brought him to the lord. According to the rules, such unknown persons who entered the territory should be brought to the lord for punishment.
Seeing the comatose Bronco, the lord felt a little familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it was until the attendants found a coat of arms on him.
"Damn it!" Looking at the coat of arms of the King's Shield Knights, the lord swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He remembered who this person was. More than ten years ago, the Royal Capital held a Knights Competition, and he also went to watch it. Therefore, the knights who performed outstandingly at that time left a deep impression on him.
Bronco, the deputy head of the King's Shield, uh... no, I heard that he is now the head.
What a king's confidant! An accident happened in his territory, isn't this cheating him?
The lord, who was in pain, quickly summoned a doctor to give Bronco a diagnosis and treatment. It took Bronco three full days to wake up.
"Hmm... where is this?" Bronco opened his eyes weakly, his whole body was so painful that he couldn't move.
"Lucy Town, I am the Baron of Lucy Town, Knight Bronco, why are you unconscious on the coast?" The lord asked suspiciously.
"Immediately send someone to inform the capital, outside the Great Wall... a big defeat! The conquest army... the whole army is wiped out! His Majesty the king is dead or alive! An army of 250,000 orcs is besieging the Buluo Fortress, the Kingdom of Silver Moon It's dangerous! Cough cough!" Bronco coughed violently under the excitement.
And the lord on the side was stunned and murmured, "Damn..."
