Throne of the North.

Chapter 33: The Battle of the Extraordinary Legion (Part )

In the first month of the next year, during the cold winter when ice and snow were flying everywhere, the orcs in the north really couldn't bear it anymore.

The biting cold needed the heat of blood to dispel it, and the hunger in their stomachs made the orcs want to eat the food stored by the southern humans right away.

Then, under the leadership of the Black Goat Men, a mighty wave of orcs appeared in the Borean Province.

"Take away all their food!"

"I am almost starving. I want to eat meat. I want to eat that delicious barley."

Along with the chaos, countless orcs rushed to those warm territories, wreaking havoc in the turmoil there.

"Damn orcs, soldiers, raise your swords and charge!"

There were nobles roaring and riding on their war horses, ordering their soldiers and slaves to charge towards the orcs.

His eyes were filled with fear, he did not expect the orcs to come so soon. According to experience, shouldn't they arrive half a month after they were starving and completely out of food?

"Damn it, I should have listened to them and arranged the property process earlier."

Just as the noble had finished speaking, he heard his own soldiers in front of him retreating continuously, and the one who gave the order was actually his knight squire.

"Retreat, retreat!"

"Everyone retreat to the fortress and defend!"

The sound of fear spread in all directions from the warhorse, and then he saw his lord looking at him angrily.

"Costa, what do you want to do? That's my fortress. What do you want to do? I'm going to chop off all your heads and stick them on the fence!"

The noble roared, and the surrounding soldiers and slaves did not dare to go past the baron to the tall and luxurious fortress.

"Master Bernard, run away quickly, there are too many orcs."

"It's impossible to count them all. The number is at least over ten thousand."

Costa rode his warhorse to Baron Bernar's side and spoke in a voice of great fear.

"Master Bernard, we can't defeat them. We only have a few hundred soldiers, but the orcs are endless."

At this time, Baron Bernard finally saw the dark waves in the distance, and his face turned pale.

"Quick, go back to the fortress and defend it."

The noble was trembling all over. He had never seen so many monsters running around. Each one of them was waving its fangs and claws, and looked hideous and ferocious. They looked like orcs who wanted to eat his barony as if it were bread.

But when he gave the order, it was already too late.

The soldiers were fleeing, the slaves were fleeing, and no one was stopping the orcs' charge. There was only a brief pause, and the nearest black goat orc had already rushed in front of the crowd.

"Kill all these humans, and everything will be ours!"

There was a black goat man roaring, and then he struck the human in front of him in the heart.

The warmth flowing through the orcs' bodies made them gradually become manic, with only pure killing intent left in their eyes.

"Kill them all!"

There is a dark light flowing on the horns of the black goat people, and they also have their own extraordinary system.

In his goat-hoof-like hands, he held two scimitars, which seemed to be weapons chopped off from the heads of other black goat men.

In an instant, the screams and wails, despair and bloodthirstiness in the human territory reached its peak.

Tens of thousands of orcs filled the territory in an instant, and then began the orcs' unique way of looting.

Hanshan City County, as the nearest county to the Xiangshan Plain, the nobles who were facing a life-and-death crisis had spared no effort to set up a line of defense. They had already received the news of the appearance of orcs.

Along with this came news of the death of nobles.

"Baron Bernard's territory is all gone. Everyone is dead, including the Baron. No one escaped."

"Not only Baron Bernard, but also Knight Yannis, Knight Sack and their knights' territories have all been overwhelmed by the orcs." The defense line of Hanshan County is actually composed of Hanshan City and several fortresses on the hillsides of mountains that are covered with glaciers all year round. Eighty percent of the lords in the entire county have sent their property to the city and rushed here with their families.

But war is not a game, it is a matter of life and death, so even if there are fortresses and cities that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, these nobles cannot feel at ease.

"Lord Landa, the orcs are about to arrive. Do you have any ideas? Should we just wait?"

Many nobles subconsciously looked at Viscount Landa in the center of the crowd. He was the governor of Hanshan County and the only viscount here.

"us……"

"stay home."

Viscount Landa was also very nervous. He looked at the sky far outside the city where he seemed to be able to see orcs, and he did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

"We only have 50,000 soldiers. We can only fight on the defensive line. It's impossible for all these orcs to gather in Hanshan County."

That night, when all the nobles were fast asleep, the roars of countless orcs were heard outside the city.

The nobles who were awakened were panicked and hurriedly put on their clothes and headed to Viscount Landa's manor.

Viscount Landa said helplessly:

"There were only two or three thousand orcs attacking us. They were killed by the cavalry before they could even reach our city walls."

"Then... everything is alright?"

One noble asked in disbelief.

"never mind."

Early the next morning, the nobles who climbed up the city wall saw a huge army of orcs. In the center of the orc army was an army of black goat men. They rode majestic black goats, which were their mounts.

"Cavalry. How can the Black Goat People have cavalry?"

The nobles who had been passed down in the North Wind Province for hundreds of years screamed in fear, their eyes filled with despair.

"Back then, it was because the Black Goat People had cavalry that the Northern Wind Province suffered heavy casualties."

"But at that time, the Black Goat Man's cavalry force only had 5,000 soldiers."

After hearing this, Viscount Landa looked outside with a heavy heart. The army of Black Goat Men here...no matter how you look at it, it must be no less than five thousand.

"It's over..."

A noble hurriedly ran down the city wall towards his own manor. He wanted to escape to the south.

Just when some nobles were terrified and wanted to escape, the orc army outside Hanshan City split into two groups, one went to the east and the other went to the west. The only ones left were the approximately seven or eight thousand black goat cavalry and fifty thousand black goat men.

They were so dark that even their eyes were pitch black, which brought great fear to all the soldiers in the city for no reason.

"They're not going to attack us?"

Some knights looked at this group of black goat men with curiosity. They had absolutely no idea of ​​charging without thinking like the other orcs.

"Where are those orcs going?"

Some people wondered why the orcs who left had also given up Hanshan City.

Suddenly, one of the nobles trembled all over and pointed at the receding orc army.

"They, they are going to our territory."

Within the defense line of Hanshan County, there are many territories of barons and pioneer knights. Although they fled to safer cities with their armies and wealth, it is impossible for them to escape from their territories.

They also had to leave behind serfs and some relatives and friends. After all, it was almost impossible for them to be of the same bloodline if they were not nobles. They had relatives, and these people helped the nobles manage the huge territory.

The nobles fled to the city to seek refuge, but these people had to take some soldiers and some slaves with them to resist the harassment and looting of the orcs in their own territory.

Otherwise, their territory would be doomed after the orcs left.
