Chapter 9 Last Stand
"How to say?"
"First of all, the three of us were saved by the old Sir Alex.
In addition, Uncle Pedro and the old Sir Alex were still young, grew up together, and served in the army together for decades. The feelings are extremely deep. Moreover, Uncle Pedro lost his fertility due to injury. He regards you as a junior, Lord Baron, and it is impossible for him to assassinate you. As for
me, my parents and relatives died at the hands of the orcs, and I was rescued from the ruins by the old baron since I was a child. He was rescued from the river and was raised by the old Sir Alex and Uncle Pedro.
As for Beram, although he seldom spoke and looked serious all day long, his loyalty to the old Sir Alex was unparalleled. Doubtful, I can't say the specifics. If you have a chance, you can ask him face to face."
Levi was silent for a moment, then said: "It seems that I am paranoid, but I do need you because there is something very important. It must be 100% reliable."
"Please tell me, Lord Baron."
"I have three fifth-level life-saving witchcraft scrolls that my grandfather left me. They can reverse the outcome at a critical moment. I think, how about we Take a gamble?"
Five minutes later, Levi, Pedro, Bellam, and Harland, who had just separated, gathered in Levi's study again.
After half an hour of heated discussion, the four of them dispersed.
At four o'clock in the morning, with the morning star still in the horizon, Levi, captain of the guard Bellam, and captain of the cavalry Harland left Fort Monterey through a secret passage with 25 third-level knights.
The horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth and the horse's head was caged. Amidst the clanking and tapping of the orc "demolition team", they quietly walked around the path to the deserted Black Mountain Town in front of Monterey Fort.
At this moment, everyone was extremely nervous, and the muscles in their bodies tightened unconsciously. Once Li Wei and his party are exposed, let alone the next plan, whether they can save their lives depends on luck.
Fortunately, lady luck was on Levi's side this time.
When the sun rose, two of the four ice walls had been completely demolished, and the third ice wall was in danger and was about to be torn down.
Everyone knows that when the ice wall is completely demolished, the orcs will launch a fierce attack and Monterey Fort will be in danger of falling.
Yes, Levi planned to make a dangerous move and wanted to insert the battlefield from the flank when the orc army attacked Monterey Fort.
Because of the loose organizational structure of the orcs, it is easy for omissions to occur in their formation when launching a large-scale attack. And because of the conflicts between different tribes, it is normal for friendly forces to remain unmoved when they are in trouble.
So Levi wanted to take a gamble with the three-piece set of war scrolls in his hand. As long as he killed the leader of the orc army, Helimu, it would be very simple to defend Fort Monterey.
Before noon arrived, the orcs finally demolished the four ice walls outside Fort Monterey, and Fort Monterey was about to face a violent orc attack.
"Give me the order, have a meal at noon, rest for an hour after the meal, and then attack the city!
Thain, Eugene, and Helga, you three will lead 250 werewolves, 250 tauren, and 250 centaurs. Attack the city directly!
Kingsley, I order you to take command of the remaining centaur warriors of the Ironhoof tribe, as well as one hundred werewolves, two hundred tauren, and warriors from other tribes, a total of 800 people, and wait five hundred meters outside Monterey Fort.
If Thain and the others attack smoothly, you can take advantage of the situation to attack and cover up the enemy. On the contrary, if the front encounters another unexpected defeat and is defeated, you have to provide cover! The
coolies who are less than the second level stay in the camp, and all the remaining second level and above follow me to Monte. We will meet you 750 meters outside Fort Lee."
"Yes!" The remaining seven fourth-level orcs in the tent agreed in unison.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, in addition to the civilian coolies and wounded who were left behind in the camp, the orcs dispatched nearly two thousand second-level and above warriors at one go, and the commander of this army, Helimu, was among them!
"My sons, for the glory of the beast god, charge forward!"
With a shout that shook the sky, more than 700 orc pioneers launched an attack on the city of Monterey Castle.
Although the seventeen counterweight trebuchets kept throwing ammunition, and despite the rain of arrows from the head of Fort Monterey, the number of orcs was still too many.
Thain and others learned the lesson from last time and did not rush to the top of the city. Instead, they let the second and third level orc warriors under their command test it out first. Soon, they discovered that Fort Monterey's resistance was extremely weak. Thain and Eugene, who were frightened by the trap, were not blindly happy at this moment, but were very cautious about it. So this test continued for another fifteen minutes.
Seeing that the second and third level warriors under his command had completely suppressed the Monterey Fort defenders, the three of Thain finally climbed to the top of the city.
At this time, a great rout began outside Fort Monterey.
Levi's expression became increasingly ugly as he looked at the crazily declining total number of citizens on the system panel. Not long after the war started, the number of troops he lost was several times higher than the day before yesterday.
At this time, Kingsley, the fox man, couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart when he saw that the vanguard had gained a crushing advantage.
"Target Monterey Fort, attack with the whole army!"
"Don't give up your military exploits for free. If you arrive late, you won't be able to drink the soup!" Kingsley thought to himself.
Seeing that the phalanx in the middle of the orcs was pressing towards Fort Monterey, Levi knew that his opportunity had come.
"Two uncles, success or failure depends on this. As long as we break within 30 meters of Helimu, this matter will be stable!" At
this moment, Levi has no way out. If Helimu cannot be killed, then Monterey Fort It's really over.
The two men with solemn expressions nodded together. Immediately, Li Wei, Harland, Beram and twenty-five other cavalrymen got on their horses and headed straight for Helimu.
At this time, Helimu was surrounded by more than 400 orc warriors. However, despite the large number of people, the only elites around him who could really fight were a fourth-level intermediate tauren and less than thirty orc guards.
Helim looked at the Monterey Fort defenders who were about to be defeated, and couldn't help but feel doubts, "Did that good-for-nothing Baron regret his life and escape with his elite? The blood descendants of Gareth are nothing more than that."
Suddenly, The ground shook.
"Cavalry raid?" Helimu couldn't help but be surprised.
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be a small group of cavalry with less than thirty people. Helimu showed a contemptuous smile.
Not to mention the four hundred orc warriors guarding him, even if there was no one around him, Helimu was confident that he could fight the cavalry team of less than thirty with his own strength.
"Eh~ These cavalry seem to be the elite of Fort Monterey?
Haha, I said why Fort Monterey is as soft as a snot monster in the swamp today. It turns out that they are trying to deal with me. I thought this Baron of Monterey was quite cunning before. Yes, why are you so dizzy today? Today I want him to experience true despair!"
Helimu's smile became more and more terrifying. As a fifth-level strongman, he was very confident in his own strength.
However, Helimu, who had always been cautious, still responded.
"Tikas, aren't you tauren good at defense? You lead your Steel Skull tribe warriors forward. You don't need to cause damage, just offset the opponent's horse speed."
This order from Helimu can be described as Average.
But I don’t know if it’s because the tauren are slow to move or because Tikas is resentful of Helimu because of the death of his tribe.
The one hundred and fifty tauren who came forward were a step slower. Not only were they unable to stop this small group of less than thirty cavalry, they also exposed a huge defensive gap.
"Trash! You can't handle this!" Helimu was a little angry, but he still didn't think that the thirty people in front of him could threaten him.
