Chapter 742 242. Burn. Trum

Looking at the winding mountain road behind Trum, a group of cavalry was galloping on horseback. Earl Horace was guarded by his personal guards in the center. Several spider warriors climbed down the mountain wall and followed Chasing those cavalry regiments along the mountain road, Cavalier Disraeli's eyes only dimmed for a moment. When he saw the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment fighting bravely with the spider man on the edge of the north city wall, his eyes were ignited again. Fighting spirit comes.

He held up the long sword of the Crusader in his hand, and led the heavy armored infantry to rush to the spiders who were fighting trapped beasts on the north city wall.

At this time, countless soldiers who had fled from the southern battlefield had begun to approach the north gate. This was the only way out for the Trum stronghold.

The fear brought by the spider warlords on the battlefield has spread to the north of the city, and soldiers who have fled back have already appeared on the north side of the city.

At the gate of the north city gate, there stood a row of lieutenants of the supervising team holding powerful crossbows. Each of them wore a metal mask on their faces. Instead, Qiqi pointed at the soldiers who fled back from the south.

The soldiers who fled saw the heavy armored infantry soldiers fighting fiercely on the north city wall, and a trace of shame appeared in their eyes, but they did not stop because of this, but lowered their helmeted heads very low. They seemed unwilling to watch those battle scenes. They were a group of cowards who had lost their courage to fight, and rushed towards the exit of the north city gate with the crowd.

These fleeing defeated troops were stopped by the lieutenants of the supervising team at the gate of the North City, and hundreds of soldiers who had discarded their armor and armor crowded the gate of the North City.

A soldier running in the front tore off the leather armor on his chest with both hands, facing the crossbow in the hands of the lieutenant of the supervising team with his chest, with an excited expression on his face, he rushed towards the city gate desperately.The lieutenant of the supervising team slightly raised the crossbow in his hand, and one finger was already hooked on the bracket of the crossbow. As long as his index finger moved slightly, the crossbow could penetrate the soldier's body.

"Boys, the military crossbows in your hands are not for pointing at your compatriots. Breathe calmly, slowly raise the weapons in your hands, and let them go!" A voice came from the stone steps of the city wall, the quartermaster Felix pushed his way through the crowd with a crossbow on his back, preventing the imminent confrontation.

I didn't expect that this half-century old man who usually looks serious and is very principled, would make a choice that would leave a way out for the fleeing soldiers.

He prevented the war supervising team from enforcing the military law. It could be seen that the quartermaster Felix held a high status in the hearts of these soldiers in the Trum stronghold. The lieutenants of the war supervising team did not hesitate to withdraw the crossbow in their hands.

The soldiers crowded around the north city gate suddenly looked like a group of ants on a hot pot. They squeezed the lieutenants of the supervising team against the stone wall of the city wall, ran out from the north city gate, and fled down the mountain road. Felix Standing at the city gate, looking sullenly at the soldiers who escaped from the city gate, none of the soldiers dared to look at Felix. They lowered their heads and rushed out of the city gate in one breath.

Seeing those fleeing soldiers making a mess at the gate of the northern city, I sighed lightly. If Earl Horace hadn't fled the battle, causing some soldiers on the southern front to collapse, maybe the defeat in the Trum stronghold would not have been manifested so early. .

A group of soldiers armed with strong crossbows rushed over from the direction of the military supply warehouse and joined the battle on the battlefield near the north city wall. They were the warehouse guards gathered by Felix. These warehouse guards were well-equipped and usually responsible for guarding the warehouse. Almost everyone is equipped with a standard crossbow, which is very accurate.

Shooting at the spider warriors on the north wall, many spider warriors on the top of the city were injured by arrows, but obviously they prefer to aim at the eyes and throats of the spider warriors, rather than the fatal points on both sides of their bodies.

The empire's standard crossbow is still very lethal to the spider warriors at close range. The key is to shoot at the exhaust ports on both sides of the spider warrior's body, which is the only weakness of the spider warriors.

In the alleys of the Trum stronghold, many brave fighters are still stubbornly resisting the spider warriors. They are the real elite combat teams in the Trum stronghold. These combat teams were beaten back by the spider warriors. People quickly occupied a part of the area south of the Trume stronghold.

The four spider warlords rampaged through the streets and alleys in the south of the Trum stronghold, but fortunately, the stone houses of the barracks were densely built. The Human Overseer didn't dare to rush too hard, lest the sharp protrusions on the stone roof tile eaves cut his huge abdomen.

In the Trum stronghold, the bed crossbow is the only weapon that can pose a threat to these spider warlords. When the spider warriors clean up every alley, the priority is to destroy these wooden bed ballistas. Although these bed crossbows are powerful, they are extremely fragile ordnance. As long as the spider man swings the moon blade ax with all his strength, he can slash the bed crossbow casually a few times, and the bed crossbow can be dismantled into pieces. Bad.

The spider warriors poured into Trum like a tide...

……

"It's our turn, Katerina, come with me, I think we should do something!" I said to Katerina.

Then I jumped down from the arrow tower, stretching my body freely in the air, feeling the weak air changes under the arrow tower.

At this moment, I seem to have returned to the days when I was in the business group, sitting on the Thunder Rhino every day and following the business group on their way. If you want to climb off the back of the Thunder Rhino, don't expect that big guy to stop. Let you use the ladder on the back of the rhino leisurely. Since then, I have learned from Kurtz how to jump from high altitude without hurting myself.

I saw very clearly those spider warriors struggling to the death on the north city wall, the Disraeli knights had rushed to the top of the city with the heavy armored infantry regiment, the huge crossbow bolts cooperated with the Disraeli knights, Make those spider warriors completely powerless to fight back.

I think Knight Disraeli probably wants to guard this way of life for the soldiers in the Trum stronghold. Four spider warlords whose strength reached rank two led nearly a thousand spider warriors to rush into the city. With such a powerful force, there was no one in Trum's stronghold that could compete head-on with the spider warriors. team.

At this time, unless a certain knight order under the tent of the Grand Duke of Samoyed can fall from the sky, no one can save this battle.

It was obvious that Katerina was following me, but the moment my body landed smoothly, I saw her standing in front of my body, staring at her big beautiful eyes like rubies, and stopped me with her arms outstretched, asking, "Do you want to go?" Where are you going? Qige told me to watch you, you can't act recklessly in Trum, the stronghold is very dangerous now, you can't just walk around at will."

How could I be afraid of her, I took a step forward, my face was almost pressed against hers, my warm breath blew on her face, making her blush to the base of her neck instantly, she shyly closed her eyes I paid attention to the sides around me and saw that not many people were paying attention to our side, so I tried my best to breathe calmly.

"Jijia, don't make things difficult for me, you know, if I don't take good care of you this time, Qige will scold me to death!" Katerina said to me in an almost begging tone, looking at the The redhead looked weak, and my restless heart calmed down.

I touched my nose, smiled awkwardly and said, "I want to find a hiding place and open the portal. You are familiar with this place, so you must be able to find such a place, right?"

I couldn't help but reach out to touch her white and smooth face like suet, but Katerina avoided it first. She gave me an angry look, her eyes seemed to blame me for being so frivolous to her in public, looking at me With an unrepentant smile, he just bit his lips slightly and whispered to me: "It's no problem, come with me!"

……

The sky has become gray due to the days of overcast clouds. Hot and humid is the unique summer climate on the Hierro plane. There is a smell of blood in the air, mixed with the smell of some burnt leather. There is a little bit of shouting outside the window. As the situation weakened, the imperial army in the Trum stronghold was retreating steadily, and the entire southern area of ​​the stronghold had completely fallen into the hands of the Nebru tribe spidermen.

The light gauze curtain was blocking my body. I hid in this stone house and saw with my own eyes not far from the window that Rogoff, the battalion commander of the Fifth Battalion, was stabbed by a four-meter-long black iron spear. It runs through the body from top to bottom, and stands beside the arrow shaft stack on the street.He held two logging axes in both hands against the purple blood, and a blood stain formed on the ground.

Under his thick eyebrows, there are a pair of bell-like eyes, looking straight at the direction of the southern city of Trum, as if at the moment before he died, he still did not give up the idea of ​​driving out the spiders in the stronghold.

I have to admit that he is a warrior. In this battle of defending the city, he chose to live and die with Trum very staunchly, but it is a pity that he failed to fulfill his wish in the end. As a nobleman, he returned to the town where he was born and became a baron to seduce the mayor's young wife.

Seeing the spider warriors running past the window, one warrior who had no time to escape fell into a pool of blood one after another. The breathing of the 27 orc warriors in the stone house became heavy. They tried their best to suppress the killing intent in their hearts. It's a very secret room, but I'm still worried that the spiders outside will find us in advance. Now we are in the center of the Trum stronghold, hidden in the basement of a tavern on the northern edge of the school grounds.

If it weren't for Katerina, who was familiar with everything here, who would have thought that this stone house, which looks like it has no decoration on the outside, is actually a tavern.And it was built grandly on the north side of the school grounds.

In the basement of this tavern, I opened the portal to my heart, and sent the wind magician Qige, the beast female warrior Kalan Co, the tauren Luka, and the dwarf consultant Bernd through the portal. After walking out, more than 20 orc warriors came out after Kalan Co, carrying large oil drums.

The disgusting smell of corpse fire oil permeated the whole room. There was a piece of rough parchment on the wooden table in the center of the secret room. I have marked all the important buildings in the Trum stronghold on this simple map. I With a charcoal pencil on the parchment, draw a sinuous arc along the walled area on the east side of Trum.

I asked these twenty orc warriors to come to the wooden table, pointed to the simple map on the table, and assigned them a task: "The first group of orc warriors will follow the line of the east wall of the stronghold, and must avoid those burning Corpse fire oil, once this thing sticks to the body, it must be cut off with a knife including the skin, don't hesitate, the longer you hesitate, the larger the burned area will be."

"As for chasing those spider warriors..." I silently glanced at the body of the fifth battalion commander Rogoff hanging on the black iron spear outside the window, and then said: "It depends on the favor of the goddess of luck for them. Come on, I don't need any spider slaves and captives!"

Bernd the dwarf rubbed his beard on his chest, hesitated for a moment, coughed and said, "Wait, Jijia, we still need some spider slaves in our underground caves. These spider slaves are naturally powerful. , as long as you sign a slave contract with them, these big guys still look very honest, and they are naturally suitable for dark caves. I designed a trailer suitable for driving in underground caves, and it is currently in good condition. Coolies in the cave, oh! I need more spider warriors!"

"If you can, catch two alive." I said to those orc warriors.

Regarding the proposal of the dwarf Bernd, I still need to respect it. This former dwarf warrior has kept my underground warehouse in good order.

However, seeing the slaughter of those spider warriors outside the skylight in Trume's stronghold, he couldn't help but clenched his fists and added: "As long as you resist a little, kill me!"

I tapped the charcoal pen on a point under the eastern city wall, and continued to say to another orc team: "Here, right here, climb up the mountain road, and you can reach the top of the cliff of Trum Mountain. I need you all." Go get rid of the giant spiders in there."

Afterwards, I said to Katerina next to me: "Later, you go to the north wall to find Felix, no matter what, you must find a way to get those warriors who fought against the spiders in the city to retreat and run away." The farther the better, I can't take too long, because this is not something I can decide on my own, it depends on those spider warlords..."

Karan folded her hands in front of her chest. She sat quietly on a chair with her legs folded together, squinting her eyes, and quietly listened to all my plans from beginning to end. Then she raised her head and asked me: "Ji Jia, How are you going to bring those four spider warlords together?"
