My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

The number of troops on the city walls seems to be decreasing.”

"So, my idea is that today is the last day, and we will attack the city from all sides and take down Trava in one fell swoop. Of course, you all have to send troops as well."

"Oh? If I remember correctly, Chief Baru, your army still has more than 40,000 people, right? Isn't this enough for the attack?" Sven said, looking at Baru.

"..." Baru frowned when he heard this.

Then, Tucker also stood up.

"Chief Baru, we obey your orders because we believe you can lead us to greater benefits, rather than letting our warriors lose here in vain like this."

"We have already lost a group of troops to cover your army's safe retreat. It's not appropriate to do this again now, right?"

"We also suffered a lot of losses in the siege." Baru said. "Ten thousand well-trained orc warriors, can't I show you my sincerity?"

"I'm sorry, but you haven't killed enough people. You're a useless piece of trash. You don't even understand what it means to die." Sven said this and shook his head.

"..." Upon hearing this, veins on Baru's arms bulged with anger. Then, he took off the battle axe from his waist and threw it out.

Sven’s strength was at level seven, but under Baru’s attack, he didn’t even have time to react and his head was chopped off.

The chiefs present were terrified by Swain's miserable condition, and they looked in the direction of Baru in panic.

"I've given you chances! Over and over again!" Baru said viciously. "Why do you think you can speak so arrogantly in front of me?"

Having said this, Baru walked forward angrily, roughly tore Sven's body into two halves, and then threw it out.

Now, not only the commander in the military tent, but also the soldiers outside saw the miserable condition of their lord.

"I've said it before, if the orcs want to defeat humans, they must unite! Unite!!" He slammed the table and yelled over and over again.

"With your current performance, it would be strange if you are not defeated from the inside out by the human race!" He said this, pointing at the chiefs one by one.

"Okay, we are all purebred orcs, we will solve the problem in the orc way. Come on! Whoever can kill me today will be the leader of the United Chieftain. Otherwise, you will have to obey my orders in the future, or you will die!"

Baru now understands that for this kind of intrigue, only the most direct means can make them realize the seriousness of the matter and let them know that Baru is not someone who can be easily messed with.

He killed Sven to scare the monkeys. It happened that Sven said the most irritating words to Baru when Baru was most depressed, which led to his death.

People who are familiar with Baru know that he is usually quite calm. That is why the human spies would specifically look for Baru and cooperate with him instead of looking for other people.

Of course, the strength of others is not as good as Baru, which is also a very important point.

A powerful tribe, coupled with a calm and collected leader, under the leadership of Baru, the orcs' attack should have been quite smooth. However, unexpectedly, the human side had an even more terrifying commander, who used a combination of weather and terrain alone to cause heavy losses to the orcs.

Baru hadn't even met Orson yet, and it seemed like he was about to lose.

In this situation, no matter how much he tried to endure and consider the overall situation, Baru could not bear it anymore.

What's more, there are a few clowns who have been stimulating his emotions.

Baru's liquidation operation was completed almost instantly. The chiefs of the big tribes were threatened and controlled by Baru, and their troops were forced to participate in this siege.

Baru knew that if he failed to take it today, his attack on the border would surely end in failure.

Eighteen years ago, the orcs' last attack on humans was the most successful in hundreds of years, but this time, it might be the most unsuccessful in hundreds of years.

But Baru just couldn't swallow this.

Even if he died, he wanted to see Orson's face.

At the same time, on the border, the orc diversionary forces that received Baru's information also launched an attack on humans.

Although the combat effectiveness of most of the orcs was not strong, they were still very powerful compared to the Earl's army that was temporarily brought together without any training for several days.

We may not necessarily be able to win, but we can definitely cause huge casualties to the earls' armies, making them unable to support the frontal battlefield.

……

On the walls of Trava.

Although the orcs, who lacked siege equipment, suffered heavy losses in defending the city for the past two days, the humans also suffered considerable casualties.

The human side has focused its defenses on the city of Trava and arranged 10,000 soldiers, but up to now, there are only about 7,000 soldiers still able to stand on the city walls.

The battle between humans and orcs resulted in this kind of casualty ratio, which is already quite incredible.

All this was thanks to the fact that the orcs did not carry siege weapons and other baggage when they retreated, and the muddy terrain did slow down the orcs' charge under the city walls to a certain extent.

But in the past few days, the orcs have been focusing on attacking the western city wall.

If the orcs attack from all sides and our side cannot wait for enemy reinforcements, we will surely be wiped out.

Virgil sat on the city wall, looking at the orcs' tents outside.

"General Xiuwas, you have been in the army for many years and are very experienced. In your opinion, how many enemies are left in this camp?"

"..." Xiuwas frowned, and then said: "There are still about 40,000 people on the west wall alone. If you add the others, there are probably 70,000 people."

"Seventy thousand men... that's ten times the number of troops we have available to fight right now." Virgil sighed.

If the enemy surrounds us from all sides today and attacks without regard for losses, this city may not survive today.

I hope the enemy will launch a tentative attack today like they did in the past two days.

Virgil said this, but he didn't have any hope in his heart.

Once the enemy chooses to attack, Virgil can only choose to live and die with the city.

The others were not within his consideration.

……

On the other side, it was morning. Baru ordered the entire army to take out all the food and cook. After the soldiers had their last meal, they smashed all the pots and summoned all the soldiers.

"Warriors! What is blocking our way home now are the hateful humans!" Standing on the platform, he shouted in Orc language.

"Thousands of years ago, humans drove us away from this land and left us in a barren desert. Now, we have taken back this land, but humans want to drive us away again!"

"We never agree!"

"We have run out of food. If we want to survive, we have to capture this city!"

"For our family, for our compatriots, for ourselves, for the tribe!"

"For the tribe!" The orcs in the audience also responded.

Virgil could hear the sounds from the enemy camp even when he was standing on the city wall. He knew something was wrong and quickly asked all the soldiers on the city wall to get ready.

Today is most likely the day when the orcs will launch a general attack.

In the morning, after the mobilization, the enthusiastic orc warriors waited for the commander's orders.

With the commander's order, the brutal siege began.

The war drums beat, and the first group of orcs roared and rushed towards the city wall with ladders.

Then, another group of orcs rushed towards the city gate with huge and sharp wooden stakes, intending to break it down.

The human soldiers on the city had used up all their arrows and crossbow bolts in the battle to defend the city two days ago. Facing the enemy's attack, they could only resort to primitive methods - fighting the orcs with brute force.

The result is naturally obvious.

On the contrary, putting the orcs on the city wall would cause less damage.

Soon, the siege turned into a brutal hand-to-hand fight, and this time, the same scene was played out not only on the west wall, but on all four walls of Trava.

Human soldiers and orcs fought on the city walls.

Relying on the local numerical advantage on the city wall and tacit cooperation, humans were able to work together to beat back the first batch of orcs who rushed up. However, the physical fitness of human soldiers also has its limits. Soon, some soldiers made mistakes in their movements, and after the orcs seized the opportunity, the losses on the human side gradually increased.

More importantly, their fall means that there will be more space on the city walls belonging to the orcs, and the local numerical advantage will eventually disappear, and the war will turn into a thorough and most brutal hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, regardless of race or combat power, as long as you are touched by the blade and fall on the battlefield, you will die.

Baru sat firmly in the center of the army, and he would not take the initiative to attack until the enemy showed strong combat power.

Watching the situation on the city wall gradually tilt towards the orcs, Baru showed a look of satisfaction.

The weather has been much drier these two days.

The ground was muddy, but it was rare that there was no rain in the sky, and the sun came out, and the land slowly became friendly to the orcs.

According to his estimation, the orcs will capture the city before sunset. By then, whether they rob the humans of their food or use humans as food on the spot, the orcs will have subsequent food supplies. They can then retreat to the east and make other plans.

On the west city wall, Virgil led the mercenaries to hold the place.

This is the city wall facing the Baru Legion and is also the place under the greatest pressure. Virgil volunteered to take on the task of defending this section of the city wall.

Virgil had just pulled his sword out of an orc's chest, and then he rolled forward to avoid the axe swung by the orc behind him.

Then, a mercenary in front of him skillfully stabbed his spear into the chest of the orc who was attacking Virgil from behind.

Just when he was about to show off to Virgil, another machete was swung at him from behind. The mercenary's smile stopped in mid-air, and his head flew out.

Virgil was numb as he looked at the bloody scene in front of him.

He roared and stabbed the orc's sword into the orc's chest. The orc was not dead yet. He grasped Virgil's sword with both hands and tried to pull it out. Virgil simply pushed him off the wall with force. Then, he leaned against the battlements at the edge of the wall, gasping for breath.

During this period of time, he had killed at least forty or fifty orcs who rushed up the city wall, but the number of mercenaries around him was decreasing one by one.

Although they were not close friends, they were comrades who had been together for some time. Virgil felt very uncomfortable watching these comrades who were usually lively and cheerful and would occasionally tell Virgil some interesting stories about their hometown now closing their eyes one by one and falling on the battlefield.

The key point is that his strength is almost exhausted.

On the battlefield, as a mere sixth-level warrior, it was still very difficult for him to change the situation.

At this time, he thought about it and decided to take out the potion that Orson gave him and drink it in one gulp.

Every limb in his body was instantly filled with strength. Then, he picked up his sword and rushed to the battlefield again.

A mercenary was facing the attack of two orcs. He used a long-handled weapon on the city wall in conjunction with the shield of his ally, but his ally had his head chopped off by the orcs before. At this moment, he was struggling to resist the two orcs alone, but he could only survive.

Just when he thought he was about to die, Virgil rushed over. Almost instantly, Virgil, whose strength had fully recovered, killed the two orcs. Then he looked at the mercenary and gave him a look.

The mercenary understood what he meant and followed Virgil. The two of them cooperated and fought with the orcs on the city wall.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer orc soldiers on the city walls.

The orcs' first wave of attack was defeated.

At this time, Virgil looked at the piles of corpses at the base of the city wall. There were humans and orcs. The corpses were mixed and piled together, and it was impossible to tell who was who.

He gasped.

Then he walked down the city wall and went to the command center to find Xiuvas.

The situation at the command center was not good at the moment. The guards standing at the door had already gone to the battlefield. Xiuvas was sitting alone in the command center with a serious expression.

There was no trace of the ease and laughter they had three days ago when the two of them were chatting.

"According to statistics, our troops are reduced to less than two thousand people after this round of attack..." Xiuvas sighed.

"Now, not only can we not fill the reserve troops, but we can't even fill the city walls."

"So are we going to put out the walls and fight the orcs in street battles?"

"This can delay time, but don't forget that orcs have a natural advantage in street fighting..."

"Anyway, Lord Orson's troops are on the way. We just need to hold out for a few more hours. As long as we can hold out until they arrive, we will win."

"I hope so." Upon hearing this, Xiuvas nodded, and then he began to order the soldiers on the city wall to withdraw one after another, shrink the defense into the city, and fight street battles with the enemy relying on the houses in the city.

The casualties caused by street fighting to the enemy will definitely not be as high as those caused by city wall fighting, but the key is that street fighting can delay the enemy's time very well.

For both parties at the moment, what they lack most is time.

The orcs need time to attack the city and obtain the food and supplies inside, while the humans hope to delay until the arrival of the main force.

If the large army is unable to arrive, then Xuvas and his men will have no choice but to burn the food and fodder supplies in the city.

Afternoon 2

At around 10 o'clock, Baru saw that the orcs had rested enough, so he prepared for the orcs to prepare for the next wave of attack.

At this moment, Baru suddenly discovered that there was no trace of human beings on the city wall, which made him doubtful for a long time.

Are humans playing the empty city trick on him?

Or is it that the city wall is actually a fraud?

But Baru couldn't care less at the moment. After today's siege, another 10,000 orc soldiers fell here. He only had less than 60,000 warriors left. He wanted to take these 60,000 warriors back to the desert, so that the orcs would have more possibilities.
