This year's harvest festival seems to have encountered some unexpected problems in Orwick.
The abundant fruits remained unharvested, and hordes of goblins advanced over the fruits of human labor.
For some reason, the frozen snowfields of the Hed Mountains were moving toward Orwick City, though most people were unaware of this strange phenomenon.
“Winter is coming…” Rig was wearing a thick cotton coat in the giant tree cabin, and she looked nervously into the distance.
“Miss Rig, Duke Ecardo wishes you to leave Orwick City as soon as possible,” the guard under the tree said respectfully.
"Leave?" Rig tilted his head and looked at the guard. "I have no intention of leaving."
"Or rather, why should I leave?"
The guard was in a dilemma. He was a lowly infantryman under Ecardo, and he had only come to deliver the Duke's message. He had never expected anyone to refuse.
He couldn't understand why Alcardo valued this woman named Rig so much.
It's not his fault, after all, Rig was hidden too well. No one knew she was a witch, and usually only those close to Alcardo were qualified to see her.
"Okay, Yod, relax!" Yod convinced himself. He was already a bit socially awkward, and this question really put him in a difficult position.
“Ms. Rig, Orvik City is currently facing an unprecedented crisis. A large number of goblins are gathering outside the city, and you may be implicated.”
Yod looked at the unbelievably beautiful Rig and realized that there seemed to be no Tilan in her name, so she wasn't a member of the Tilan family.
Well then! A bastard child that someone in the family won't acknowledge, or perhaps the Duke of Alcord's lover? Oh! By Tilan's grace, this is too sinful.
"Danger?" Rigg stroked his hair and smiled, "This is the safest place!"
"What!?" Yod's eyes widened.
...
At this moment, Elsie, controlling Kaelin, was still on her way on horseback.
Outside the north gate of Orvik, a large number of goblin corpses have piled up, making it hard to imagine what exactly happened there.
The arrows were embedded in the ground, like a forest, as the goblin army regrouped and advanced.
They tried to carry out a plank, on which stared the woman who had been violated, alive but spiritually dead.
There were children and pregnant women who were used as shields and pushed forward, allowing the goblin army to advance from behind the shields.
The archers on the city wall hesitated for a moment.
Kyryat frowned, raised his hand, and said, "Release the arrows!"
Arrows mercilessly took away all lives beneath the city walls!
In Kelyat's eyes, those were no longer human, and giving them death was an act that Tilan would approve of.
Another wave of goblins was swallowed up by the arrow rain, and it was clear that the enemy was starting to panic, while the arrow reserves of Orvik City were still plentiful.
Wait, what's that?!
"Hmm?" Kyryat gazed into the distance, where a white expanse seemed to be moving towards them.
A new goblin race?
"Huh? It's getting a bit cold?" Kyryat looked at his fingers and realized he actually felt the cold!
What's going on? A harsh winter...a harsh winter!!? A prophecy!
"Winter is here?" Kyryat exclaimed in shock, "How is that possible!"
It's only autumn! Winter is still at least three months away!!!
But that white figure was indeed rapidly approaching!
The goblin army below began to get excited. They seemed to have expected this all along, and for them, even the harshest environment was something they could adapt to.
“Oh no…” Kyryat clenched his fist, his fist stiffening.
Humans cannot withstand the cold for a short period of time!
His gaze fell on the archers by the wall, who were also trembling. How could they possibly fire another arrow?
It's too late to prepare cotton-padded clothes now.
"Reg!" Kyleat shouted, looking up at the sky, "Are you looking?"
"It guides us in the right direction!!!"
However, their own Rig seemed somewhat random and did not provide any assistance.
"Damn it!" Kelyat felt the temperature plummet as snowflakes poured into Orvik City!
As the horn sounded again, the goblins began to move in unison!
"Loose the arrows!" Even without Kelyat's order, the archers would do so, but they were noticeably slower.
The arrow rain was less accurate than before, and the archers shivered from the cold.
A large number of goblins have successfully reached the bottom of the building. Their sharp claws are embedded in the city wall, and they are climbing up the wall little by little with daggers or longswords in their mouths.
"suppress!"
The archers turned and began firing close to the city wall.
In the distance, a giant goblin grabbed a smaller goblin and hurled it directly at the city wall!
However, most of them crashed directly onto the city wall and died upon landing, but a small number were still successfully thrown onto the top of the city wall.
"Swoosh—" Kyryat drew his longsword and swiftly killed the nearest brat.
"Form ranks! Hold the line!"
The guards on the city wall raised their spears and stabbed the goblins, while Kelyat looked towards Ekado inside the city.
Alcado was clad in heavy armor, riding a tall warhorse, with Baron Boli and Baron Boye by his side.
The heavy cavalry legion behind them had already assembled and seemed to be fully prepared.
"Open the city gates!" Kyryat ordered.
The city gates slowly opened, and the goblins, still in confusion, heard the earth tremble and felt an ancient fear instantly wash over them.
Outside the city, the goblin heroes at the forefront of the goblin army assumed their battle stances, as if facing some insurmountable beast.
The gate opened, and Icardo's full armor gleamed. His lance struck the nearest group of goblins with pinpoint accuracy, smashing them into a bloody pulp.
The iron cavalry was merciless, and the steel-reinforced hooves showed no mercy. Those goblins who fell in panic had no time to stand up before their heads were crushed by the hooves!
"Crush them!" Alcardo's voice echoed across the wilderness.
Eight hundred heavily armored knights followed behind him, and in an instant, like an earthquake, everything on the ground was trampled flat by the heavy cavalry.
The tide of battle turned in an instant, and the goblins, terrified, began to retreat.
This is a monster that flesh and blood cannot stop! Even raising a giant shield cannot stop the heavy cavalry that has already started to run!
However, how could two-legged imps outrun cavalry? These heavy cavalry, all handpicked by Ekado, possessed burst speeds that were no less than those of ordinary cavalry, making pursuit a breeze!
"Heavy cavalry charge!" Boli and Boye took the lead and jumped to the front of the column to clear the way.
Any goblin that stood in their way was smashed to pieces!
Ahead, the goblin heroes' hands trembled; for some reason, they were terrified of the heavy cavalry!
No, or rather, they were afraid... of the Black Knight that night.
No one knew that one night, a black knight broke into the Black Mountain Range. At first, no one paid any attention, until he fought his way up to the mountain kingdom, where the king sent a large number of goblin heroes to stop him...
