Chapter 333: The White King's Front and Rand's Front

Northeastern front, night.

The city is brightly lit.

The orcs are still attacking.

Orcs do not have dark vision, and some even have night blindness like humans.

But the orcs continued to attack.

The pressure is indeed less than during the day.

But humans are also not adapted to fighting in dark environments.

Therefore, the White King still stood on the top of the city wall, his velvet cloak rustling in the cold wind.

She needs to pay more attention than during the day.

As a king, her perception is much stronger than that of ordinary knights and soldiers, so she has to take on more responsibilities at times like this.

During the attack from day to night, she only went down the city wall to rest for a few moments, and the rest of the time she stayed on the city wall facing the cold wind from the height.

At night, although the shouting and screaming continued, it was generally quieter.

But correspondingly, the groans of injured soldiers will be significantly louder.

The White King could also hear the suppressed howling of pain from the wounded camp below the city wall.

The White King was also very clear that the seriously injured soldiers and knights would basically not survive.

Even though she had already purchased a lot of medical supplies from Crescent Moon Territory.

For example, distilled alcohol, clean gauze, and some medicinal herbs with extremely high nutritional value.

But there are no more treatment options.

There are priests, herbalists, and alchemists in the city, but their medical capabilities are too limited. In the face of such a large number of casualties, this amount of treatment is just a drop in the bucket.

The White King controlled his perception so that he no longer noticed the pain of the injured.

Her spirits had been tense for a long time, and she knew she would have to hold out for much longer.

But the pressure is much less than I imagined.

Theoretically, the orcs have a warrior who is closer to the "king" after being transformed into hell, but he has not been seen yet.

Less pressure here means more pressure somewhere else.

Although the orcs' specific plan is still unknown, the White King can probably guess that it is the direction of the Takagi Kingdom as determined by Rand.

She hoped Rand wouldn't take too many risks, and her sister was there too.

If Rand and Ellie died together...

The White King didn't dare to think about it.

The White King exhaled lightly, and his warm breath condensed into frost in the cold air.

The White King waved his hand and killed several wyverns and harpies who wanted to throw corpses into the city at night.

In the city, there are actually quite a few herbalists and priests who are supported by Crescent Moon Leader.

The alchemists all came from other places, none of them came from Crescent Territory.

The alchemists of Crescent Territory are better at making soap, smelting metals, and studying ancient machinery, but are not very good at making healing potions.

The only theoretically orthodox religion in this world is the Torch Church, but the priests of the Torch Church are not very good at healing.

Priests of the Church of the Torch are more skilled at using fire to destroy evil than healing the wounded.

It's not that the priests of the Torch Church are completely incapable of healing, but the effect is not good for those who are not professionals of the Torch Church. For ordinary people, the priests can only slightly strengthen the physical strength of the injured and reduce the probability of death. Most of the time, the injured need to bear it themselves.

Of course, they can do some other things.

For example, using fire to burn the wound until it is charred and stop bleeding.

The scene was just a little scary.

Many herbalists come from holiday resorts.

The herbalists have already planned to establish an Herbalists Association in the holiday villa because they found that Count Moon Phase is quite open-minded. In Count Moon Phase's territory, no villagers will regard them as witches or wizards.

But herbal medicine is not very effective for seriously injured people.

A little herbalist girl from the White Kingdom's capital, carrying a bag of herbs, was already crying bitterly.

Behind her was an older herbalist from the resort.

The experienced older resort herbalist knew that the wounded person the little girl was treating could not be cured.

But he didn't stop.

The elderly herbalist, unable to bear the sight, turned to look after the other injured soldiers.

The little herbalist girl from the royal city kept crying and sobbing while trying to treat the seriously injured middle-aged knight.

The young herbalist girl tried her best to hold down the soldier's wound that was still bleeding. Tears slid from the corners of her eyes into her nose and then dripped down, as if she was having a runny nose.

"No need for treatment." The seriously injured knight looked pale, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and whispered, "It's useless. I know my condition."

"Dad!" The little herbalist girl's eyes were still shedding tears as big as beans.

"Tell your brother to be more serious in the future and stop fighting with others." The middle-aged knight coughed, and blood flowed from the corner of his lips.

The little herbalist girl said nothing.

The middle-aged knight pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, but found that he couldn't smile at all. He just said painfully and slowly: "Can you give me a quick death? Your father is in so much pain that he wants to die."

The little herbalist girl burst into tears.

Just as the little herbalist girl bit her lip and tried to obey her father's wishes.

There was a big hole between his waist and abdomen, with his intestines exposed. His internal organs could be seen throbbing from the outside. The middle-aged knight turned into an ice sculpture.

The little herbalist girl looked up, using the still bright moonlight.

The White King can be seen standing on the top of the city, his thick velvet cloak fluttering in the night breeze.

…

Rand stood at the highest point of the city wall, looking into the distance.

He has good eyesight.

It was almost morning now, and he looked to the north.

Then he seemed to see a bright light, as if the sun was rising.

But then I thought about it, it didn't make sense, shouldn't the sun rise in the east? The sun in this world also rises in the east and sets in the west.

So it was a fire? Rand looked at Elsa beside him and asked, "Is it a fire?"

Elsa nodded, "It was the firelight, but I couldn't see much more."

Rand frowned.

He actually didn't hope that his guess was correct.

But now it seems very likely that the orcs have really landed from the Gaomu Kingdom here.

And if the fire can be seen at this distance, it means that the orcs' landing has been successful.

Instead of being blocked on the sea by the Takagi Kingdom's pirate fleet and coastal defense crossbows.

"Get ready!" Rand said, then realized his voice was too soft and roared, "All troops, get ready! Follow me out of the city!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Rand decided to act immediately.

Maybe we can salvage something now.

Rand didn't know how many troops the orcs had deployed here, so he had to set out immediately to find out the situation.

If the situation can still be saved, he will assist the Takagi Kingdom in its defense. If not, he will try to seize command of the Takagi Kingdom's army, expand the forces he can command, and try to slow down the speed of the orcs' invasion of the White Kingdom.

The knights had already made preparations, and following Rand's order, the knights were quickly ready to go.

Then we left the city and set out.

The land area of ​​the Takagi Kingdom is much smaller than that of the White Kingdom, but it is still a country after all.

It was already the fifth day after their departure when Rand and his entire cavalry team found the panicked royal family and nobles of the Takagi Kingdom.

"I'm Ellie Calant." Ellie looked at the king of the Takagi Kingdom, introduced herself, and then introduced Rand: "He is Rand Nicholas, Count of the Moon Phase, my fiancé, and the current commander-in-chief of the White Kingdom stationed in the north."

The king saw the well-trained knights in bright armor behind Rand and nodded.

Looking at Rand again, he frowned when he saw how young this young man with black hair and black eyes was.

"I am the king of the Takagi Kingdom, Esl Kit. Now I order you to escort us out of here and into the White Kingdom. I want to see the White King." The king looked at Rand and said.

This king was probably urgently woken up by his personal guards and escorted out of the city in the middle of the night. He was wearing a crown and a luxurious robe, but you could still see that he was wearing pajamas underneath.

He was covered in dust and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Of course," Rand replied, "Your Majesty, I will arrange for someone to take you to the White Kingdom's capital. It's safe there."

Rand deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of the King of Gaomu Kingdom.

The King of Takagi Kingdom wants Rand's Knights to go to the White Kingdom King City together with the Takagi Kingdom's army. This will best preserve the national strength of the Takagi Kingdom.

But Rand doesn't care what happens to the Takagi Kingdom.

He only needs to ensure the interests of the White Country.

Therefore, Rand planned to send the King of Takagi Kingdom to the King City of White Kingdom and let the ministers of White Kingdom deal with the noble King.

He planned to lead the Knights of the White Kingdom and the troops of the Takagi Kingdom that were escorting the king to resist the orcs.

Even if we can't win, we must try our best to stop it.

To put it cruelly, Rand had to use the lives of the Takagi Kingdom's troops and the lives of the White Kingdom's knights to gain buffer space for the White Kingdom.

Rand has already sent a message back to the White Kingdom to explain the situation. Once the White King resolves the orcs' frontal attack, he will come to support us.

Rand couldn't let His Majesty the King take the army of the Takagi Kingdom away.

After Rand finished speaking to the King of Takagi Kingdom, he did not give the King of Takagi Kingdom a chance to explain.

Instead, he looked at the nobles who had escorted the king here and shouted, "Warriors! Your mission to escort the king is complete. Now I will join you and show those orc bastards how powerful we humans are."

In the five days since entering the border of Takagi Kingdom, he had actually met some nobles who had been separated from the main force and had already understood the situation.

After receiving the warning from the White King, the Takagi Kingdom abandoned its looting plan and patrolled the coastline.

But the orcs landed from an incomprehensible place.

Directly attacked the defenseless void.

The nobles of the Takagi Kingdom and the remaining nobles of the Ice Sea Kingdom were caught off guard and were directly defeated by the violent Purgatory Orc landing army.

In just a few days, the royal city fell.

However, these arrogant and stupid pirate nobles of the Gaomu Kingdom still had some courage. On the way here, Rand saw many noble lords of the Gaomu Kingdom who personally fought against the orcs.

Rand felt that they must not be able to bear their country and their territory falling so easily.

There should be quite a few nobles willing to go back and fight back against the orcs.

Rand wanted to interrupt the King of the Gaomu Kingdom and take this opportunity to let these noble lords bring their soldiers to join him in blocking the orc army.

But Rand was greeted with silence.

Rand looked at the King of the Takagi Kingdom.

The King of Takagi avoided Rand's eyes.

Rand looked around at the nobles escorting the King of the Takagi Kingdom.

Rand discovered that the one who most wanted to fight back against the orcs was the King of the Tall Wood Kingdom.

But now the only ones the King of Takagi Kingdom can rely on are the nobles who "escort" him.

These nobles who went to the royal city to escort the king to escape when something happened were not the same kind of people as the nobles of the Gaomu Kingdom who were fighting against the orcs he met along the way.

Rand looked at the silent nobles with cold eyes and said bluntly: "Stupid!"
