Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 312 A Long Day (1)

"I’m fine. Although it’s a little bit colder here, the food is good, please don’t worry about me, dear. Those green-skinned bastards are coming again, but we have driven them away in the past 200 years. This time there will be no exception, and..." The pastor wrote here, looking up at the soldier William standing in front of him, waiting for him to continue speaking, in order to help him complete this family letter.

Soldier William was a farmer in Fernando City. He was only conscripted into the army last year. After undergoing rigorous training, William and many other outstanding soldiers were selected and stationed in Thor Fortress.According to the rules of the empire, soldiers garrisoned in Thor Fortress can bring their families here after a year. The garrison in Thor Fortress will build a cabin for them in "Barracks No. 2". When William is on vacation, The family can be reunited.

Since most of these soldiers are civilians and cannot read at all, the Church of Illumination also has a small church in Thor Fortress. In addition to preaching the doctrines of the gods of Illumination, the pastors stationed here write letters to help these soldiers.This is an extraordinary period. In order to prevent soldiers from escaping from the defense line and rushing to the church, General Keenster specifically asked the only three priests in the church to all come to the wall of Thor Fortress, to be the scene of the soldiers stationed on the front line. write.

William thought for a while and said, "Trouble you, please continue to write. Also, the rule here is that you can bring your family to live with, dear, you think about it, if you want, wait for us to get rid of these nasty greens. Skin bastards, you can follow the transport convoy here. The general will give us a small wooden house, and my salary can also support the family. If you can’t live, you can also raise a few cows, so our son You can drink fresh milk every day."

"William, don't talk endlessly. We are all waiting." The soldiers standing behind William said loudly. They are all William's comrades in arms. They joined the army and received training together. Get up to Thor Fortress.

William turned his head, with an apologetic expression on his face, then turned his head back, and said to the pastor who was immersed in writing, "Thank you, that's it."

The pastor nodded. He finished writing the last word on the parchment and was about to fold it. He suddenly remembered one thing and said with a smile: "I almost forgot. I didn't write the date. These letters have to go on the road. It’s almost a month, it’s not nice not to write the date. Oh, yes, William, today is May..."

"It should be May 7th. Well, let me think about it. The day before yesterday was Kaulun's birthday. The roast lamb he asked us to eat. He was the fifth birthday. So today, it's May 7th."

After William finished speaking, the pastor nodded, then spread out the parchment, dipped some ink with a quill, and wrote in the last line of the letter: "May 7, 202 Guangxi Calendar..."

Just when the pastor was about to finish writing, there was a strong shock from the ground. The pastor didn't watch out, his hand trembled, and the last word was crooked.But no one cares about this anymore, so the soldiers surrounding the priest immediately rushed to the outside of the city wall, wanting to look towards the northern Taren prairie.

In the distance, the gate of the orc camp was fully opened, and countless orc soldiers gushed out like a tide, and slowly gathered in the open space south of the orc camp, forming a neat square formation.Twenty huge unknown beasts were mixed in the orc army and walked out of the orc camp. The shock just now came from these beasts.

On the back of this unknown beast, there is a huge war drum. Two orcs stand on either side of the war drum. The four orcs wave their eight drumsticks together, using their entire body to beat the war drum. A huge shock was created, and it spread around it.That kind of war drum is very strange. Every time it is struck, the soldier who hears the sound feels that his heart is beating with it, as if his heart beat frequency is controlled by this war drum.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The bronze bell on the wall was ringing, which was a signal of an enemy attack.More human soldiers gushed from the tent in Camp 1, skillfully picked up their weapons, and walked up to the city.General Keenster was among them, and his adjutant Hans followed closely behind.

General Keenster stood on the wall of Thor's fortress, looking far away, and saw that ten kilometers away, more than countless orc troops lined up in a neat square, standing there quietly.In the center of each phalanx, there is an unknown beast. The orc soldiers of the entire phalanx are completely directed by the drums from the back of the beast. They step on the drums and slowly move toward the Thor Fortress. Go slowly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Huh! Huh! Huh!"

There was a wide gap between the phalanx formed by the orc soldiers, and I didn’t know what the purpose was.But now he didn't have the energy to think about it, because the deep and loud drums combined with the sound of the orc soldiers' advancing footsteps brought tremendous psychological pressure to the human soldiers on the Thor Fortress.

As they advanced to a place ten kilometers away from the Thor Fortress, the sound of the drums suddenly came to a halt, and the orc soldiers uttered a loud and neat roar, which also stopped their advance.

General Keenster took a deep breath, and there was an army of more than 100,000 orcs in front of him. The infantry phalanx was so sharp and not inferior to human beings. When would those mindless barbarians train like this?Don't they just come to Thor Fortress in swarms, then attack the city in swarms, and get beaten away in swarms at the end?

General Keynst turned his head and asked his adjutant Hans: "What are those monsters?"

Hans agreed, and then ran away. After a while, Hans hurried back and said to General Keynst: "I checked it out. Someone recognized this monster and said its name was'Thunder Beast 'Although they are huge, they only eat grass. However, their skin is thick and thick, and it is difficult for ordinary weapons to severely damage them."

At this moment, a large number of soldiers walked out of the orc camp once again, but these soldiers were different from the soldiers in square formation just now, and the quality of these soldiers was obviously inferior to the previous ones.Most of them were old, and they were not holding sharp iron weapons, but bronze weapons, and some even held wooden sticks and whips, which were obviously tools for grazing.

These orc soldiers who came out later were far inferior to the former in discipline. They rushed up in a mess, passed through the gap between the front orcs phalanx, and came to the forefront of the entire orc position, standing together in a mess.Behind these undisciplined orc soldiers were dozens of various siege equipment. Although those huge guys were rough in appearance, General Keenster, who was good at military affairs, could see their usefulness at a glance.

Those tall shelves are siege ladders, orc soldiers can climb up the city wall along it; and those vehicles with thick solid wood panels on top and heavy wood hanging below are rammers, and heavy objects dropped on the walls will be oblique The wooden planks are separated, and the hanging heavy wood, whether it hits the city gate or the city wall, has a lot of threats; and the thing with a trailer behind is a stone dumper, which can Dozens of stones weighing more than 50 kilograms were thrown against the city wall, not only can kill the enemy, but also open a gap for the subsequent siege troops.

The more General Keenster looked at it, the more surprised he was. These siege machines are not hard to make, but they are limited to humans. How come these limbs are sent to simple-minded green-skinned orcs, and they have actually learned to make such things. ?General Keenster suddenly remembered that in the information handed over by Ryan, he described a detail, that is, the mysterious caravan, the style of the vehicle is exactly the style most commonly used by humans, and the iron ore picked up is basically human. Excavated from the ore in the mountains in the northwest.Could it be that some human beings provide all this for orcs?

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!There are only a thousand people in this army. The upper bodies of the soldiers are covered with scars, and their lower bodies are only wearing black linen shorts, but every soldier in this army holds a handful in his hand. A huge battle axe, this kind of battle axe is specially made. Its axe face is about the size of the upper body of an adult man. Under the sunlight, it emits a black and translucent color. This is a weapon made of pure steel. In the scene, I didn't expect this orc army to be equipped with weapons made of pure steel.Such a huge pure steel battle axe must be quite heavy, but these orcs did not show any tired look in their hands, as if what they were holding in their hands was just a child's toy.

These thousand giant axe warriors guarded a chariot pulled by thirty-six Taron cattle.Standing on the chariot is an orc man wearing a black cloak. His figure is about the same as a human adult man. This is rare in orc tribes that respect strength, because the height of the orcs is usually more than 2 meters.Behind this orc man, stood an old orc with a short stature. The old orc was so thin that it seemed that a gust of wind could blow him away.

The orc man waved his hand, and the whole world seemed to calm down.The orc man looked at the Thor Fortress, suddenly bowed his head and said a few words to the old orc behind him, and then greeted a few loudly. A middle-sized orc about forty years old strode into the chariot.

Although General Keenster didn’t know the identity of the orc man, he knew from what he saw in front of him that his identity was not the same among the orcs. Unfortunately, the distance was too far, otherwise General Keenster would definitely order the giant stone toss. The car attacked the location of the chariot.
