Chapter 295 The Ladder Arrives

These black things are nothing but orc heads!One of them has a ferocious face and a death in peace, which is the mountain of death in peace. 【】No matter how stupid the orcs were, they knew that the sneak attack had failed, and all their eyes fell on the boulder. For the first time, they doubted the myth that the orcs were invincible.

It's no wonder that these orcs have such thoughts, after all, they have been at a disadvantage since fighting Roger.All the same people in a camp were killed, the food warehouse was robbed, and the two attacks, one in the light and the other in the dark, all failed. Such a fiasco had never happened before in the war between the orcs and humans.

The continuous failure also made Jushi very angry, and a blush appeared from its green skin that belonged to the orc, indicating that the chief of the beast was on the verge of eruption.But Jushi is the great chief of the Blackwater Tribe after all, and he has much stronger self-control than ordinary orcs.Knowing that no matter how angry it is, it will make up for it, but it still forces itself to calm down.

"Damn humans..." Boulder Eye was burning with raging rage, and said in a low voice: "Let the children come back to rest, and when the ladder arrives, we will go to the castle!"

The boulder's voice was calm, but even a dull orc could hear how angry it was.The other orcs had always been in awe of the great chief, and at this moment, all of them dared not even speak, and hurriedly left to deliver orders.

"Human..." Feeling that he has never been so ashamed, and the fighting spirit of Jushixin is stronger than ever.

Roger on the city wall found that the clamoring orcs in front gradually receded, and soon there was no sound, and the surroundings of the castle became quiet again.However, in this unusually quiet place, Roger faintly felt an angry killing intent brewing in the orc camp, which might turn into a cruel war at any moment.

Since Roger's strength has become stronger and stronger, his senses have naturally become sharper, and even the sixth sense on Earth seems to have become stronger.He believed that what he felt from the orc camp was definitely not a hallucination.Obviously, these orcs were more than angry because of their repeatedly frustrated relationship.

In fact, Bonnie also felt the same way as Roger. The female knight looked at the dotted bonfires on the dark golden wasteland. After a moment of silence, she whispered to Roger: "These orcs are going to fight us desperately."

"I have the same feeling. We are really connected." Roger smiled at Bonnie: "To celebrate this discovery, let's kiss?"

"Don't make trouble, let's be serious!" The female knight didn't want to make out with Roger at this time, she frowned and said, "If all the orcs attack desperately, how long do you think we can last?"

"As long as the castle is not conquered, it doesn't matter how long it lasts." Roger said confidently, "I'll train some soldiers, and it shouldn't be a problem to defend the castle."

Roger collected a lot of soul power in the two fights with the orcs, which happened to be used to train soldiers.He immediately asked the castle to train another hundred heavy spearmen and half-armored swordsmen each, and the remaining soul power was used to maintain the consumption of the castle in the main material world.

Under the full operation of the high-level barracks, about ten soldiers can be trained every hour.It takes about twenty hours to train these one hundred fighters.However, the orcs did not leave Roger so much time. At noon the next day, the orcs who had gone to the Black Forest to cut wood and make ladders returned.

They desperately urged the wasteland raptor under their crotches so that the mount could run faster.The velociraptors all stretched their necks and struggled forward, but after all, they couldn't run as fast as usual because the cargo they were dragging was too heavy.Behind each velociraptor dragged a dozen or so ladders, the weight of which was equivalent to dozens of adults.These wilderness velociraptors are indeed very powerful, dragging such a heavy thing for a long distance, they don't look tired at all.If the horses were to do the same thing, they would have died of exhaustion.

Roger's magic pet Hippogryph has been following these orcs, so he was not surprised that the orcs made the ladder, but murmured: "The real war is about to begin!"

The orcs, who were eager to attack humans, finally waited for the "siege weapon", and they all cheered.For them, as long as there is a ladder, the high city wall is no longer an obstacle. As long as they climb the city wall, how can weak humans be the opponent of the beast master?

This kind of idea is widely circulated among the orcs, and they are eager to fight and even start to snatch the ladder that has just been transported.Fortunately, Jushi was already prepared for this, and immediately asked his confidants to suppress it.After a whip and scolding, the orc camp finally restored some order.The orcs who grabbed the ladder, led by their chiefs, began to attack the castle.A dozen orcs were divided into groups, screaming and rushing towards the castle carrying the ladder.

If only a few orcs did this, of course it wouldn't pose any threat to Roger.But to Roger's surprise, those orcs actually built nearly a hundred ladders in just one day and one night!All these ladders were used by the orcs, and the resulting momentum was astonishing.Thousands of orcs attacking the castle at the same time could already put enormous pressure on the defenders.What's more, many orcs who didn't grab the ladder also rushed towards the castle behind, doubling the number of orcs attacking.

If ordinary soldiers faced such a situation, even experienced veterans would feel a little uneasy.But the soldiers standing on the city wall at this time are all people who don't know what fear is, so naturally they won't have any emotional fluctuations.

Once the orcs were within range, the crossbowmen began to attack.Sharp arrows flew through the air, shooting towards the target with a howling sound.Although the skin of orcs is tough, it cannot be compared with armor after all, and arrows can still cause damage to them.Those orcs who were not shot at the vitals would ignore the arrows on their bodies and continue to charge with a roar.And those who were shot at the vitals fell to the ground without saying a word, some were still struggling in pain, and some just lost their breath.

Whenever an orc fell, another rushed to take its place.So although the crossbowmen killed many orcs in a few rounds of shooting, they did not slow down their attack speed at all.Not long after the orcs charged, the guys carrying the ladder finally rushed under the city wall.

The real siege battle has finally begun, and the newly upgraded castle will also face a severe test.
