Heroes of the Invincible Knight Chapter 509

Dragonscale Castle

Five days have passed since the departure of Sini and others. At this time, the orc warriors who stayed under the Dragonscale Castle knew that they had become the abandoned part, even if they were slow to respond. Most of them left with the elite led by Sini. On the same night, they started to run out of food. Except for a small part of the army commander Devi, the remaining orc soldiers had not eaten a meal for five days.

Most of the soldiers were already hungry and dizzy, and they didn't pick anything about what to eat. They ate all the food that still contained protein, such as rats and insects. Even the turf leaves became their choice for wrapping their stomachs. Gru did enough. When he retreated, he abandoned all the surrounding castles and burned the supplies. The orcs could hardly find any food within a radius of hundreds of miles.

"Lord Legionnaire, the food for the guard battalion has also run out. Starting today, the guard battalion will also run out of food."

"Um."

There was almost no expression on Devi's face. The lack of food was expected. They were originally an abandoned army. Although the Guard Battalion was supplied with food for a few more days by him as the last force to maintain order, the general There is only so much food, even if there is preferential treatment, it is time to run out of food at this time.

"there's one more thing…"

The officer who was reporting to Devi on the side was hesitant to say anything. It seemed that what he was going to report next made him a little hard to explain.

"Tell me, there's nothing else to say at this point."

Devi's mentality at this time is quite Buddhist. After he took over the task of staying and covering here, he has put his life and death aside, so there is no bad news to hear.

"The bodies of the soldiers we buried in the east of the camp were stolen. Soldiers patrolling this morning found a big hole in the graveyard..."

Even the army commander Devi, who was already heartbroken, furrowed his brows instinctively after hearing the news.

Although there are many carrion-eating beasts on this plain, the lively orcs in the vicinity have been eaten up by hungry orcs in the past two days. In the face of tens of thousands of orcs armed to the teeth, how can any jackal beast dare to approach The orcs camp, and digging graves to steal corpses, only the orc soldiers who were starving to the point of green eyes stole the corpses of their own people.

Although orcs are more fierce than humans, they are actually a civilized race in their essence. In the short period of time when the elf empire fell, the orcs could be said to be the hegemons on this continent, and they also had their own unique characteristics. The characteristic civilization is actually separated from the primitive and savage race. Under normal circumstances, there will be no human beings who are enemies of themselves in their recipes, let alone eat their own race.

But it is different now. In the case of extreme hunger, some people can stick to their principles and resolutely do not eat anything other than their own recipes. Some people can also break their own principles and eat some unconventional food in order to survive. It's just that after so many days of war, humans have left not many corpses, and almost all of them are on the city walls of Dragonscale Castle. Only orcs have lost a lot of corpses outside the city. Some hungry orcs have no choice, and some things happen. Of course.

"Don't worry about it, let them go..."

After instinctively generating some resistance, Devi felt a little moved in his heart. If he made meat patties from the corpses that had been thrown away in the past few days, maybe he could last a few more days?

"Yes, my lord!"

Devi's attitude is obviously to acquiesce to the behavior of certain soldiers, and he doesn't force him to eat what he wants. In this way, there will always be some people who can save their physical strength for a while to fight against humans.

Corresponding to the orcs side is the human army in the Dragon Scale Fort. The Dragon Scale Fort was originally a food storage place for the orcs. When Mulak and others led the army to seize the city, it was so sudden that the orcs defending the city did not There was enough time to completely burn the food and grass materials in the city, and the food reserves prepared by the orcs in the Dragonscale Fort were enough for thousands of human defenders to open their stomachs to eat for half a year.

Now the defenders in the city can not only eat three meals a day, but even occasionally have some meat to eat. Although they are currently surrounded by orcs in this Dragonscale Fort, their life is much more nourishing than the orcs outside the city. They even sometimes deliberately eat at the city head, trying to let the orcs see them eating.

Just when the eyes of most orcs were already starving with green light, a human army appeared, and also appeared around Dragonscale Castle.

Shortly after Sean's evacuation, Gru led the elite of a legion selected from Dragon Wing City to gradually approach Dragonscale Castle.

Although this legion has only more than 20,000 people, its combat strength is not ordinary. In addition to this legion itself being the main legion of the North Road Army, Gru also concentrated most of the masters above the knight rank in the defending army of Longyi City. Used in this legion, the entire legion has an unprecedented number of 300 knights, plus some of the system troops brought by Gru, there are at least more than 600 knights in the army of 20,000 people. 's master.

"Lord Gru, the orc camp is less than twenty miles away from us. The camp is very chaotic, and it doesn't look like there is much vigilance."

Of course, the orcs were not on guard at this time. An abandoned army did not have enough food yet. Their mental and physical conditions were sluggish. How could they maintain normal operations? How low-key the army is, it should have been discovered by the orcs when they approached the range of twenty miles of the orc army, but most of the orcs now are hungry and have no strength, and a few rely on the corpses of their companions to maintain their physical strength. A human army was approaching, so that after Gru approached with the army, the orcs didn't even respond at all.

"Continue to investigate!"

"Order the army to prepare for battle."

"Yes, my lord!"

"Ron!"

"Master Gru!"

"After a while, you will lead the crusaders and fanatics to directly attack the orcs camp, and the four snake demons will also be under your command. Be sure to destroy all the organizational power of the orcs."

"Yes, Lord Gru!"

Ron, as the first hero to follow Richard, although his basic aptitude is not good, he is also a system hero with an English template. After so many battles, coupled with the investment of various resources, his strength has reached the level of the earth, and he will lead a group of them. Crusaders fighting, can definitely kill three in and three out in a group of chaotic orcs.

"Lord Legionnaire! A human army is approaching us again!"

Finally, when the human army approached within a range of several miles, the orcs finally found the approaching human army, and finally a few dutiful soldiers passed the news to Devi's camp.

"It's finally here, earlier than I thought."

When Devi heard the news that the human army was approaching, not only did he not panic, but his clothes looked relieved. He was not afraid of the human army coming to attack, but he was more afraid that the humans would just stand still and starve them to death here. Let them not even have a chance to die.

However, he didn't know what Gru's needs were, and after spending so much effort, how could Gru be willing to let them naturally starve to death with the experience bag that was finally surrounded.

"Can the Guard Battalion still fight?"

"The Guard Battalion is still the most insane knife in the hands of the Legion Commander!"

"it is good!"

Devi also stopped talking nonsense. With the help of his personal soldiers, he put on the battle armor and walked out with the battle axe from the weapon rack. The more than a thousand orc warriors of the personal guard battalion had already been dressed neatly outside the tent.

Devi's main tent is almost separated from the soldiers outside. Compared with the chaos of the main camp, the orc warriors around Devi's main tent are still in basic order. After all, these guard camps are not hungry enough. A little bit of rationality can still organize a certain resistance at this time, and the surrounding orc army can't even hold their weapons when facing Ron and others who are the pioneers.

"kill!"

"Clang!"

As a pioneer, Ron led the crusaders and fanatics into the orc camp with little effective resistance, and it was a total disgraceful slaughter.

Under the command of the officers, some orcs barely raised their weapons to resist, but the cold weapon era requires more physical strength than the hot weapon era. The weak orcs can't make any decent attacks at all, while the crusaders can easily avoid them. They attacked softly, reaping the lives of the orcs.

In addition to some resisting orcs, some orcs were already in a state of numbness. They just stared at the human soldiers who came in and slashed and slaughtered, not even escaping, as if dying under their swords was a relief.

If Ron was asked to evaluate the situation of this camp, it would be lifeless. If there were no skeleton soldiers in the camp, Ron would have thought that this was a camp controlled by Diya's necromancer.

"Directly attack the big tent in the center of the orcs, you have to entangle here!"

Ron was not very interested in slaughtering some orcs who were almost unable to resist. After killing a few waves of weakly resisting orcs, he directly led the people to attack the tent at Dvina.
