Chapter 21: The Orcs in Off-season (5)
The thief thought Tang Jiumin was such a strange guy.
They just need to survive in battle now, and the news of the orc siege did not do much to them.
"Just exchange information? It seems that you are not an alien from our country. Since you have said that, I have done this deal."
The thief told Tang Jiumin: "You should know that here, Alto City is a border city in the north of our empire. It is very close to the territory of orcs, and there are many opportunities to get in touch with orcs."
Tang Jiumin asked: "If you say that, then it should be normal for orcs to attack. How could you say they are crazy?"
The thief shook his head slightly and nodded again.
"The orcs do have many attacks, but orcs generally do not attack our human cities in this season, because it is only early spring, and the large tracts of land have just been sown, and the orcs want to rob plunder have no shadows."
"Ask them crazy, they are just polite. They are simply idiots! Even if the orcs can win this war, what can they get? There is no hair!"
"But this attack was indeed crazy enough. They caught the surrounding cities off guard, and many of the villages and towns outside were captured."
"Also, before, the orcs would only surround the city to prevent the lord's army from rescue and facilitate robbery. This time they chose to siege the city."
Tang Jiumin heard the implicit meaning of the string and asked: "It means that many people did not expect the orcs to suddenly attack the human city? But the question is, aren't there any defense here?"
Hearing this, the thief sighed heavily and said, "In the past, orcs would occasionally attack suddenly, but they never sneaked into villages around the city."
"They are not good at siegeing cities, especially when facing city walls that are more than ten meters high and twenty meters high. They have no experience at all. They usually attack villages and towns and leave after robbery. This is the first time in history."
"You can see that they are sieging the city like this, and they are completely dying regardless of their losses. On the flat ground, not three human infantry can definitely kill an orc heavy infantry."
"But the siege equipment of these orcs is primitive and simple. When heavy infantry climb up one by one, we prisoners can actually exchange them one by one. This is crazy."
Indeed, the thief said it right, but it is precisely because of this madness and suddenness that many people are caught off guard.
Tang Jiumin showed a hint of contemplation.
I see.
"No wonder..."
"The city lord will suddenly give the opportunity to let the prisoners come out to fight, and even promise civilian status."
Thinking of this, Tang Jiumin asked again: "How many soldiers are there in the city now?"
The thief spread his hands and replied: "I don't know this, but there were more than 10,000 civilians in the city, but it is said that after the nearby villages and towns were captured by orcs, another 20,000 refugees poured in."
"I know about orc siege. Do you have any other questions?"
"No more. When I gather tomorrow morning, I will go to the last position. You will be later. We will meet each other. Then I will defend in the same place and promise you military merits."
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
Tang Jiumin looked at the thief leaving, but his expression was a little solemn.
When an orc attacked the city, things went wrong. He always felt that things were not simple.
Even in a nightmare, all of this has its own logic, that is, cause and effect.
Unreasonable things must be explained reasonably, and there must be problems in this city.
On the other hand, in the city lord's mansion, only the knights have separate residences. Even ordinary soldiers of the Guards cannot own a separate residence alone.
And now, right in a knight's room, Chen Qi snuggled in the arms of the knight who secretly took her away.
The two of them got sick.
"Dear, you are so nice..."
"But, won't they really find out that I've left?"
After Chen Qi was picked up, the next day, he was dizzy and dizzy by the news that the orcs once again attacked the city.
She heard that today, the orcs sent by the orcs became more and more powerful, causing many prisoners to die.
Chen Qi is extremely glad that she has a special power.
The knight was in his arms, his heart was full of joy. He heard Chen Qi's worried and uneasy questions.
The Knight said to Chen Qi: "Although the city lord promised to give the prisoners a chance this time, as long as he successfully repels the orcs, he will restore his civilian status as a prisoner who participated in the battle."
"But, baby, think about it carefully. Is there such an easy thing? If it could be done easily, the supervisory team would not have been allowed to supervise the battle of the prisoners."
"In fact, these prisoners can't survive many people. Even if they can survive, how many people can become civilians? Most of them will become corpses on the city wall."
Let the prisoners consume first, and if the beast soldiers continue to attack and threaten the city, then they will be forced to send soldiers.
"Then..." Chen Qi raised her head, looked at the knight with beautiful eyes, and she said in confusion: "What does that have to do with me?"
"Of course, look, the prisoners were all insignificant cannon fodder, and there were fewer people before they knew it. Do you think the supervisory team would make a special move to find someone?"
Chen Qi suddenly realized.
So that's the case, so she doesn't have to worry about being discovered by the supervisory team.
At night, all sides were surging in the dark, and some people were considering more than just the orc siege.
Carrie also did not deliberately look for a tent near the fire, because after a night, he was basically a person with no problem and would grab a tent near the fire to keep warm.
Karry does the opposite.
He deliberately went to a place not far or near to the fire.
He is following a person, who is not a player, but a local resident of this dungeon.
The other party lived in the same tent with Carri last night, so Carri discovered some secrets of the other party through yesterday and today.
As the abandoned camp is close to the fire, Zhou Zheng and Li Zhehan also meet together.
The two saw each other, and each had a bad face.
How could it be him?
"...Together?" Li Zhehan asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but look up at the surroundings. Finally, his eyes fell on the guy in front of him again.
"……Together."
It was strange that they were walking together just now. After entering the gate, they were dispersed a lot because there were too many people.
However, now he is approaching the fire and looking around, Zhou Zheng still doesn't see any other players.
What happened to them, why did they all suddenly disappear?
Logically speaking, they should be near the fire now.
The next day...
"Get up! Get up immediately! Get up immediately! Get up immediately for me, otherwise the military whip will serve you!"
"Sir, it's not morning yet..."
"Don't talk too much, get up!"
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Chapter completed!
