Chapter 168 The never-ending tide of beasts(1/2)

Snow Valley Town.

In the once prosperous town, there were no more pedestrians on the streets. Most of them were well-equipped soldiers patrolling in groups. There was an atmosphere called tension in the air.

Some of the original residents of the town went to the Kingdom of God to seek refuge, bringing their families with them, and bringing gold and silver with them.

More people stayed in the valley.

They don't have enough miso to pay for the expensive temporary residence.

Of course, there are also some vigorous young people who are willing to stand up and fight against the orcs. They have joined the reserve legion, receive training every day, and can be converted into a formal legion at any time.

The only thing they have in common is that they are poor.

Rich people have already gone to the Kingdom of God to seek refuge, and they will never risk their lives with the orcs here.

Fortunately, Snow Valley Town has no shortage of equipment.

The Kingdom of God lacks everything now, except weapons and equipment.

There are as many standard spears as you need.

In this tense and depressing atmosphere, everyone followed the dictator Luden's command and arranged the defenses step by step.

Luden had just concluded a military intelligence meeting and sent out a reconnaissance team to contact surrounding towns to synchronize the situation of the orcs moving south.

Justice Enwei hurried over and happened to meet Luden.

"You're late."

Luden signed the document at hand and handed it to an adjutant, who rode a fast horse back to the Kingdom of God to report the news.

Justice Envi explained,

"Residents in the valley are a bit panicked."

Without raising his head, Lu Deng began to sign another document, requiring that the nearest supply team must arrive before sunset. In order to speed up, they could leave behind up to one-third of the supply.

After handing the new document to another adjutant, Luden took time out and looked at Justice Envi,

"Has it been dealt with?"

"Um."

Justice Enwei didn't say much and asked instead,

"How's the situation?"

"It's not good, it's very bad."

Since the meeting had just begun, Luden directly focused on the key points.

"Seven days ago, the orcs crossed the Nice Mountains. According to the news sent back by Spartak, the size of the first wave of beasts was one hundred thousand."

Just as Luden and the others expected, the orcs ignored Nice Castle and headed south to more fertile land.

"Five days ago, orcs appeared outside Banna City. The last news coming from Banna City..."

Listening to Luden's words, Justice Envi thought of the situation in Barnner City.

In terms of scale, this can't even be considered a city.

Although there are outer and inner city walls, the walls are only 3 meters high and can only block bandits and robbers, but have no effect on orcs.

Stronger orcs can even jump directly onto the city wall!

Originally, there was no garrison deployed in Barnner City, and it was not included in Pangge's defense plan.

However, I heard that the Kingdom of God chose to go to war with the orcs, and things were different.

In the city of Baena, a team of 600 people was spontaneously organized to gather all the materials that could be gathered.

They gave supplies to fleeing civilians and asked them to send them to the rear if conditions permitted.

At the same time, he stayed in Barnner City to show his strength to the orcs.

Pang Ge originally wanted these people to gather in the nearest city, but was rejected by the other party.

Of course, with their small manpower, they would not guard the entire city of Barnna. They selected a group of the strongest bunkers and hid in them.

A kind of stone fortress made of stones and bricks. You can shoot arrows and poke out spears. You can also hide in it and wait for the orcs to pass by.

This is a way for people to escape from being hunted by orcs, but the effect is very average.

Orcs have very sensitive noses, and hungry orcs will try their best to open the stone castle, just like opening a can, and taste the delicious food inside.

It is difficult for humans to cause substantial damage to orcs. Even if they can, the huge number of beasts does not care about these sporadic casualties.

After all, orcs go south to hunt en masse, while humans go south to seek refuge in large numbers.

It's all for survival, one is chasing, the other is running, and the one who is caught up can only blame himself for running too slowly.

Although Pang did not support the heroic actions of these people, he understood them.

As a sign of respect, he had someone send him a barrel.

A barrel of what Luden called 'dynamite'.

After lighting it, it will bring some surprises to the orcs.

I believe the orcs will like the nails, rust pieces and other items Luden packed in the barrel.

Luden closed his eyes, rubbed his temples and said,

"One day ago, a message came from Swan Town, which is closest to Banna City, and a loud noise was heard from Banna City."

Luden fell into a brief silence, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Soon, Luden broke the silence and continued,

"The first wave of beasts is at level 100,000, which is good news for us.

The beast tide will be very dispersed, and the pressure on the major positions will be much less, and the possibility of resisting the first wave of impact is very high."

The defensive strongholds selected by Pang Ge either had difficult terrain or their walls were high enough to be defended.

The huge difference in individual combat effectiveness makes it impossible for human legions and orcs to compete head-on in the wild, and must rely on technological development to make up for it.

In the past three years, Ludeng has been working hard. Although technology has accelerated a lot, the actual transformation into combat effectiveness is very limited.

On the one hand, there are many constraints in reality, and Luden cannot let go.

On the other hand, even if a weapon with enough lethality is developed, mass production will still take a while.

Lathes, machine tools, steam power...

The Kingdom of God that Luden took over was a country without any light or heavy industrial base, and people had no idea about these things.

Luden can't put a nuclear bomb on his hands!

In three years, there is indeed a limit to what can be done, and weapons cannot be the decisive factor in this battle.

As a staunch militant, University Scholar Three still asked Ludden a question before the war started.

"Why not wait another three years?"

Luden's answer was simple,

"If I die within three years, the Kingdom of God will have to wait for more than three years."

This reason convinced the great scholar III.

Only with the presence of the three giants can it be possible to unify the Kingdom of Gods and fight this war.

Among the three giants, the most powerful one is Pangge, but the most important and core figure is Luden.

Once Luden dies, this alliance will fall apart in an instant, and the huge business empire will fall apart.

There is only one chance.

The university student had no choice but to sit at the gambling table with these lunatics.

Luden continued,

"In addition to Barnna City, news came from other major strongholds that sporadic orcs have been discovered. There was even a cavalry team that took the initiative to attack the orcs that entered."

Having said this, Luden couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The centurion, who was greedy for merit, led a hundred cavalry out of the city, and under the guidance of the scouts, hunted twelve orcs.

In the end, the heads of eleven orcs were sent to Snow River City. As the trophies of this battle, one orc was seriously injured and escaped.

The cavalry squad paid a heavy price. A total of twenty-two cavalrymen died, more than thirty people were injured, and forty horses died.

Twelve orcs! Only twelve orcs!

There is no need to say more about the blow to morale.

After hearing the battle report, Pang Ge was furious and wanted to rush to the battlefield in person and cut off the centurion's head with his own hands.

It's no longer needed.

The centurion died in the battle, and he paid a heavy price for his greed for merit, arrogance, and arrogance.

It is precisely because of this that Pangge sent another message, asking all strongholds to be strictly guarded.
To be continued...
