Chapter 270: The Orcs Appear
Hearing the ding sound, Gervis' heart was filled with joy. This made him happier than earning gold coins!
However, seeing that seven or eight orc leaders had noticed the battle situation here and were already surrounding him, Gervis did not dare to waste time any longer.
"Unicorn, let's go!"
Gerves is not like Gandalf and the others. The Silver Knight's body has been greatly strengthened, but Gerves, the Bronze Knight's small body, will be defeated if he is hit a few more times by the orcs.
He now needs to rush to the residence of the personal guards and gather his men together first.
On the battlefield, cavalry is stronger than infantry. Relying on the unicorn's powerful size and strength, Gervis swept across on horseback and soon approached the wooden house where the guards lived.
Looking up, although the orcs on Ge's side were fewer than those at the castle gate, the battle was more intense.
Because there were only a hundred or so guards at the inner castle gate and the city walls, all squeezed into a narrow space, many orcs could only mindlessly crowd in to get forward.
But this side is full of wooden houses for the guests' guards and servants to live in. There are at least five or six hundred people living here. Every corner is a battlefield where orcs and humans fight, and screams and shouts are heard everywhere.
"grown ups!"
"Owner!"
Soon, Gervis spotted the figures of his subordinates, because his slave soldiers were the most conspicuous. Their raised spears and tight phalanx made them the team that suffered the most from the orcs.
Gervis rode his unicorn, killing the orcs that blocked his way and finally arrived in front of them.
"Ike, are there any casualties? How are the others?"
Only when he ran closer did Gervis breathe a sigh of relief. Except for the few people who were injured in the morning, the other guards were still fighting with the help of the slave soldiers' spear phalanx.
They were leaning against the wooden house on the city wall, with the spear phalanx in the middle, the bodyguards defending on the left and right sides, and the front was left to the slave soldiers with four long spears.
"Sir, three spearmen have been seriously injured and carried to the back! The guards have no casualties!"
Ik was also greatly relieved to see Gervis. They did not expect that so many orcs would suddenly appear in a big castle like Rose Castle. Fortunately, the slave soldiers had spear phalanxes and were fearless. Otherwise, there were only six of them, and even if they were well-equipped, they would be drowned in the group of orcs.
Now that Gervis has appeared, they finally have a backbone.
"Very good! Ike, do you know where these orcs came from?"
Gervis ran all the way and found that there were at least a thousand orcs. This was a huge number, and they had blocked the lobby of Rose Castle.
"Sir, we don't know either. We were all resting just now, and there were only two of us on duty. We heard that these orcs came from the side and rear of the castle. By the time we were woken up and put on our equipment, the orcs were already densely packed everywhere!"
Ike said with lingering fear.
"Okay, I'll put on my armor first, you guys defend first!"
Gervis nodded, without asking any more questions, he walked directly to the back of the square formation, took out his full body armor from a carriage, and with the help of several servants at the back, Gervis quickly put on his full body armor.
Although full body armor has strong defensive capabilities, it is very troublesome to wear, and it is basically not worn except in combat, otherwise it will be inconvenient to move.
After putting on his armor, Gervis instantly felt safe. At least he didn't have to be afraid of ordinary cold arrows now.
There are so many orcs tonight. Although it is dangerous, isn’t it also an opportunity for Gervis?
"The spear phalanx is in the center, the guards are on both sides, and you are also covering the two wings of the phalanx. If you want to survive, follow us!"
Gervis rode on the back of the unicorn again. In addition to Gervis's men, there were many surviving guards and servants. They were all subordinates of other noble guests. These people relied on slave soldiers and bodyguards to relieve the pressure and survived until now. The others in the distance had already been drowned in the sea of beasts.
"Lance Phalanx! Forward!"
The original slave soldiers were just resisting the orcs' attacks on the spot. Although this blocked the orcs, they couldn't actually kill many of them. Moreover, once there were too many orc corpses in front of them, the spear phalanx became useless.
"kill!"
The slave soldiers showed no fear and took the first step the moment Gervis gave the order. Gervis was not idle either, always observing his surroundings to prevent the orcs around from gathering. Whenever the orcs gathered seven or eight people, Gervis would ride his unicorn and charge forward.
"Kill all these despicable humans!"
As the slave soldiers advanced, an orc leader soon noticed the situation here and shouted to the large group of orcs behind him.
Hearing the shout, Gervis also discovered the ogre leader. His eyes lit up and he immediately rushed forward on his unicorn. Such a lone leader was Gervis' favorite. At this moment, he had put on full body armor and was not afraid of the attacks of ordinary orcs at all.
hiss~
The unicorn let out a long roar and began to charge, rushing towards the orc leader rapidly.
"Despicable human, die!"
The kobold leader was not afraid at all. He did not have a meteor hammer in his hand, but a huge battle axe. Seeing Gervis approaching, the kobold leader swung the axe towards the unicorn.
When~
Gervis raised his shield to block. Although Gervis's round shield was small, he tilted the shield slightly and bounced the axe blade away the moment it hit the round shield, changing its direction. Even after the axe blade was bounced away, Gervis still felt a numbness in his left arm.
Without hesitation, he swung the sword in his right hand and stabbed straight at the head of the ogre leader.
puff!
"Ding, gain energy point +1."
The huge head of the ogre leader was pierced directly by the sword and transformed into an energy point.
Gervis smiled happily, ignoring the numbness in his arms, and quickly killed two orcs who tried to advance, then turned his horse around and returned to the flank of the spear phalanx.
"Kill! Kill towards the inner castle gate!"
Gandalf and others were still fighting at the gate of the inner castle. There were the most orc leaders there. Gervis commanded his men and other survivors to kill towards that place.
Along the way, Gervis kept wandering around. Whenever there was a large group of orcs gathered, he would rush forward to disperse them, instantly turning the slave soldiers and guards into giant beasts, constantly strangling ordinary orcs.
…
"Oh no! There are orcs!"
"Viscount Palant, be careful!"
As Gervis was advancing slowly, the people in the vestibule encountered trouble. Originally, thanks to the skills of the Silver Knights, although Gandalf and others were caught in the melee, it did not pose much threat to them and they could break out at any time.
But just a moment ago, more than ten orcs appeared from nowhere. These orcs had green skin, green faces and fangs, and they ranged from strong to thin.
The most terrifying thing is that these half-orcs are clearly different from orcs of other races. Their intelligence is no worse than that of humans, and they can also practice cultivation.
When this orc attacked, he did not yell like the other orcs. Instead, he cunningly hid among the orcs, deliberately lowered his body, and then appeared unexpectedly to launch a sneak attack.
The Viscount Palant was a mid-level silver knight, but he was caught off guard and stabbed in the chest by an orc warrior. He was immediately overwhelmed by other orcs.
"You bastards!"
One of the original ten silver knights was gone in an instant. These vassals were old acquaintances, and when they saw their old friend being ambushed and killed, they all roared in anger.
"Nadine!"
"Come together! Don't be scattered anymore! Be careful of the Orc warriors!"
Gandalf had just been attacked, but he was lucky. The mithril sword in his hand was sharp, and he cut off the opponent's sword with one sword, and narrowly escaped the disaster. However, the Orc warrior was no less powerful than Gandalf. He used the broken sword to block Gandalf's two attacks and then retreated into the group of orcs.
Fearing that he would be ambushed again, Gandalf did not pursue them. Instead, he shouted for everyone to gather together and moved towards them.
Thanks to "皮皮虾下依然旧" for the reward!!!
