I Want To Be a Nobleman

Chapter 157: Miserable victory

Orcs are originally a very slow aging race. Although their life span is similar to that of humans, they tend to be in their 50s and they have not changed much from the 30s. If Harlott’s observational skills are not good, Steer’s appearance is hard to see. The change.

Even as a legendary powerhouse, Steele, who has already experienced a life level transition, can get such a big improvement because of this leaf. If I can't eat more and live for at least ten years?

Harlott feels a little distressed, but he is still young anyway, and he doesn't care too much about this kind of thing. It can save Steele and he is relieved a lot. Steele is the most temperamental and approachable person Harlott has ever seen. A legendary powerhouse is very suitable for cultivating feelings. Harlot is going to ask him to learn skills in the future and ask how to break through and become a legend.

Harlott became a field nurse and rescued Marcus and Steele one after another. His men fought **** battles. Although the orcs suffered heavy casualties and their morale began to decline, their militant and bloodthirsty nature and the influence of the abyss made them Still not afraid of death to fight Harlott's troops.

Fortunately, the formation of the orcs is completely chaotic. The dragons have no leader and can't give full play to their full strength. Although Harlot's troops are mostly miscellaneous militias, they can at least obey the command. NS.

"The crossbowman retreats, switch weapons and start shooting!" After taking advantage, Lucius ordered the most elite crossbowmen to replace their melee weapons and shoot with crossbow bolts.

In addition to the systematic soldiers, Harlott is most optimistic about the crossbowmen. Even the cavalry who is known as the strongest unit, Harlott doesn't care that much. In this magical world, the cavalry is really not that against the sky, and the camp of the orcs is not ordinary at all. Cavalry can be impulsive.

On the contrary, the crossbowmen are long-range arms that rely on weapons to increase their lethality. They can make up for the disadvantages of the human race. As long as they have a strong crossbow and more training, the strength and agility attributes are not enough to kill the orcs.

"Arrows!" The lethality of a well-made strong crossbow at close range is quite terrifying. The orc army dropped its shields after attacking the fortress, relying only on defensive armor, even those with strong bodies and strong physiques. The orc was also easily penetrated through the body, and died on the spot with a few shots.

It's a pity that the powerful crossbow has a complicated craftsmanship and is easily damaged.

With several rounds of volleys of hundreds of crossbowmen taking away the lives of hundreds of orcs, the orcs who were already close to the limit of collapse were finally unable to hold them, and some orcs began to escape from the fortress.

"Put up, kill them, and rush with me!" Harlot saw that the situation became clear, and began to dominate, his voice roared very loudly, so that the enemy who was fighting on the wall deliberately could be heard on both sides.

This is not purely for showing off, it is more to make the morale of the friendly soldiers on the wall higher and make those orcs lose their confidence.

What Harlott didn't expect was that his move was more useful than he thought!

The orc chief who flew Steele on the city wall was killing the human nobles one by one, and suddenly heard Harlot's loud voice, only to find that his own troops under the city wall had been defeated and fled, and his colleagues were both defeated and wounded by the Balrog. .

He himself was a little shocked. What's more, other orc soldiers gradually stopped their offensive. The defenders were still at a disadvantage. The casualties were very serious, and no one in high-end combat power could withstand the offensive of the opposing legendary powerhouse. , Didn't dare to fight back, waiting nervously for the next move of the orc.

The orcs were awakened by the exaggerated battle damage. When they came out of their hometown, several tribes totaled more than 60,000 people, and now there are less than 6,000 dead.

During this aggression, the occupied cities were directly burned, and all the prisoners were slaughtered. Until now, apart from venting the overly maddening police, there was no other receipt. What are they fighting for?

It is normal for the orcs to feel confused. Although they are a militant race, they are not fearless of death and like to hunt for death. The orcs invade the south all year round to show force, expand their territory, and plunder wealth and population, not for meaningless killing.

The reason why the entire race has been infected with a very strong tendency to brutal and bloodthirsty this time is entirely because the blessing of the abyss not only gave them strength, but also distorted their hearts.

"Chief, shall we continue to fight? The clansmen..." a high-ranking general of the tribe hesitantly asked the orc chief.

The orc chief looked around, and the anger of many orcs had dissipated. The weapons were half-carried and half-supported and hung on the ground, without the previous aura. The casualties of the Alliance defenders in the last battle continued to break out for their lives. With endless fighting spirit.

It is estimated that there will be no good results if we continue to fight, and do we really need to pay so much to attack other countries? The orc chief recalled Steele's words in his heart at this time, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"...Retreat! After my personal guard and I are responsible for the break, you first go find the clansmen who are recovering from the rear to join!" The orc chief picked up the warhammer and gave the order to retreat.

The heavy blow of the flame demon just now smashed a small area of ​​the city wall into a gap, where the orcs could leave without hesitation, and the orcs who had lost their fighting spirit quickly evacuated the battlefield without hesitation.

As for the garrison's pursuit or Harlott under the city wall to block or pursue?

Stop it, someone else's legendary powerhouse is still in full condition, and the injured Steele's defense is very reluctant. How can it cause any substantial threat to the opponent.

And as for the defenders, Harlot’s soldiers also suffered heavy casualties~lightnovelpub.net~ Harlott’s troops originally consisted of more than 9,000 men, close to 10,000 troops, and now less than half of the dead, the defenders It was a devastating blow. It is estimated that one-third of the troops with more than 100,000 troops will be left.

Moreover, everyone was wounded and exhausted, all relying on will and faith to hold on. As early as the moment the orcs retreated, they completely lost their energy, and they didn't even have the strength to cheer and celebrate, let alone chase them. Kill the orc army that still has strong combat effectiveness.

At the same time, the ruins under the city wall were suddenly lifted by the orc chief. A scorched and embarrassed figure exuded a faint aura. It was another legendary orc chief who was fisted by lava.

The orc chieftain who was in good condition took his colleagues on his back and left. The so-called aftermath seemed unnecessary. No one dared to chase after him. This battle could not be said to be a victory for mankind.

From the casualties point of view, the two sides are similar. From the situation point of view, the high-end powerhouses on the coalition side are not able to deal with the orc chiefs. The terrain has also changed from a battle with a great advantage to a chaotic battle on the wall. Many nobles have escaped. As a result, the orcs could not hold back and retreat.

However, they defended the Giant Fortress, withstood the orcs' offensive, and curbed the orcs' aggression. From the result, they still achieved the goal, but the loss was a bit big!
