    After entering the second week of hard training, everything was on track.  The soldiers of the fortress guard began to become taciturn. The skin on their hands and feet was covered with bloody scars due to repeated abrasions, but their eyes became particularly bright.  The originally disorganized forty or fifty companies were strictly screened and reorganized into thirty companies. Each company has a full strength of one hundred and twenty people. The commander is a knight or a patrolman with rich war experience. It has been initially completed.  The whole process of integration and adaptation.  The number of this unit is slightly smaller than before the reconstruction, but the increase in combat effectiveness is obvious.  Most of the eliminated soldiers did not leave the fortress. Most of the physically strong ones chose to serve as stretcher bearers, while those with gentler personalities became assistants to clergymen and herbalists.  The allied forces from Mosselin City were originally placed in a secondary defensive position, but they quickly integrated into the defenders.  The tauren, who are far stronger than humans, soon mastered the secrets of opening and closing city gates; the dark elf scouts with sharp eyes and poisonous crossbows became the favorites of the watchtowers everywhere.  The bloody sisters in revealing and sexy clothes are the most eye-catching. Under the organization of Verna Yemei, they set up a dance performance team called Tallon Cheerleaders, which not only made those hot-blooded young men straight  Breathing heavily, even the first branch of the Steel Fist, which is known for its strict discipline, could not bear it anymore and privately asked Lord Thoth whether he could have deeper contact with those dark-skinned beauties.  Of course, the person who proposed the idea received a stern reprimand, and the few guys who secretly organized the attack also suffered greatly from the Blood Sisters' agility.  Verna Yemei took the opportunity to make a statement, claiming that some sisters planned to find a hero to marry after the war. This declaration greatly aroused the fighting spirit of the defenders of Tallon Fortress, and even high-intensity training could not erase it.  Despite the overflowing passion of these people, the number of fights caused by small frictions was at least twice as high as before, making the clergy at the medical center busy in advance.  The military judges responsible for patrolling the fortress complained about this, but Marquis de Dragonson publicly expressed his support.  Having experienced hundreds of battles, he can certainly feel the changes in the garrison of Tallon Fortress. Although they cannot compare with the elites of the Knights of the Steel Fist, compared with the poor state of the past few months, these soldiers have finally become able to face a new situation.  It looked like a fierce battle.  Just like pig iron being forged with hammer after hammer to remove impurities, it has gradually begun to transform into fine steel.  As for whether it can survive in the end, there is no answer.  The morale of the army is a very elusive thing. Well-trained elite soldiers may mutiny due to a small setback, while untrained militiamen may fight to the death. In the history of the Griffin Empire's hundreds of years of expansion, this has happened  There are so many examples.  The training came to an end when the first barbarian orc flag appeared on the horizon. To Mad's regret, if it had been given one more week, Tallon Fortress would have had a thousand more qualified bows and arrows.  With their hands, the best that those people can do now is to shoot arrows into the predetermined area, which may be of some use only when the barbarian orcs attack the city in large numbers.  The team of barbarian orcs who came holding high flags did not exceed a hundred people, all riding well-trained Bactrian wild camels. Their tall bodies were covered with white half-cloaks. The big man at the head wore a modified steel plate armor.  From a distance, it looked like a moving tower, and even the two-humped wild camel under him was being pressed hard.  The team of barbarian orcs stopped half a kilometer away from the first city wall. Even if the height of the city wall was more than 30 meters, and the best archers of the Griffin Empire could use their bows and arrows, there was no way to threaten this.  long distance.  The large-scale alchemical ballistae used to defend the city had sufficient range. However, the technicians responsible for operating the ballistae shook their heads in frustration after making some adjustments.  Although the beastman is much taller than an adult human, at a distance of 500 meters, he looks like he is no bigger than a finger.  Although the Alchemy Ballista is equipped with a simple range-finding device, it is mainly used to attack enemy siege equipment, and its accuracy is naturally not that precise.  Of course, if you want to scare those messengers, if you want to hit a specific target, it depends on whether the gods in the sky bless you.  Tomad patted the sweaty technician on the shoulder, indicating that they could rest, and then walked down the tower as fast as possible to the top of the city gate.  Marquis Dragunson and several other high-level officials of the Knights of the Steel Fist were all gathered there. Dean Kurgan and Chief Patrolman Sylva had also been there for some time.  The group of barbarian orcs looked in the direction of the fortress for a while, then got off their mounts, sat on the ground, took out the wineskins and dry food they carried with them, and began to eat and drink.  Rough shouts came from the wind from time to time. One of the guys made an obscene gesture towards Tomad and the others, arousing a particularly crazy burst of laughter in the crowd behind him. ?"These guys are using this method to demoralize us." Marquis Dragunson spat at his feet bitterly, "Lord Toth, take the remaining Blood Griffin Knights to attack and get a few heads back.  , put it on the tip of the spear to set a mark for them. ""I obey your wishes, Lord Marquis." Lord Toth nodded without hesitation, and then turned around to leave the city, but Tomad moved faster.  He suddenly took a step forward and made a blocking gesture.  "Please wait a moment, Lord Marquis Dragunson. The team on the other side may not be simple. I'm worried that Lord Thoth will get into trouble." "Tomad, I think you should have seen it with your own eyes the Blood Griffin Knight.  Marquis Dragunson said in a deep voice, "The Barbarian Roaring Warriors are indeed brave and good at fighting, but I don't think they can withstand the group charge launched by the Blood Griffin Knights." "Of course they can't be replaced by ordinary Roaring Warriors.  What about the White Guards of the King of Barbarians?" Tomad insisted, "I once fought against a leader of the White Guards. Although they cannot possess fighting spirit, their overall strength is definitely not inferior to that of the Great Knight.  Lord Thoth snorted lowly. He knew very well that Tomad was not questioning his strength, but he still had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart. "Shadow of the Steel Fist is my nickname, and it is also my knight title."  "It's just the leader of the White Guardit doesn't scare me." "What if there's more than one?" Tomad raised the bronze looking glass and looked at the barbarian beasts for a while, then pointed at one of them who looked better than the others.  All orcs are short guys.  "Have you seen that guy? If I remember correctly, he should be the oldest one among the leaders of the White Guards - Horu Warcry; and the one next to him - Tanes?  The Bone Grinder. Above is Saint Bablupa, the Lord of Justice. Zulu Gritotz, the King of Barbarians, has only four White Guard leaders under his command, accounting for half of this small team of envoys.  " "It seems that he attaches great importance to this meeting, or in other words, he wants to use this to give us some color." Marquis Dragunson's voice sounded a little ferocious, not only because of his mistake in judgment just now, but also because of the situation in front of him.  A group of barbarian orc messengers.  "I must apologize to you, Lord Toth. You almost suffered a big loss because of my wrong judgment." Lord Toth bowed calmly, "I may die on the battlefield, but I  "My subordinates will definitely be able to fulfill your order and bring back a sufficient number of orc heads." "Don't even think about it. Your lives are much more useful than the orc heads." Marquis Dragunson waved his hand.  So who is the guy leading this team? He is the one who is holding the big flag and is very tall. " "He doesn't have the mark of the White Guards on his body. He should be from some barbaric orc tribe, or"  Tomad's expression suddenly moved slightly, and then he clenched his fist and punched the crenel in front of him, "That guy is Qiang Bucktooth, the leader of the barbarian orcs who besieged the White Rock Camp. I once had a very brief confrontation with him!  "How is the strength?" Dean Kurgan suddenly interjected, "If you compare it with the brothers who are pilgrims in the monastery, can Thunderbolt Tangulas defeat that strong Bucktooth?" "Brother Tangulas is skilled in swordsmanship.  The strength is also extremely amazing, but I feel that he is still a little stronger than Bucktooth." Tomad commented while recalling the fierce battle at White Rock Camp, "Maybe Silva can try to challenge that guy, but.  If you want to be sure of victory, you still have to take action personally, Lord Roland." "Lord Toth's face became even more gloomy. He had had two brief battles with Roland Wilps, and both of them were indifferent.  There was no murderous intention, and there was no winner or loser.  But Lord Thoth knew that he was at a disadvantage. There was a clear gap between him and Roland in terms of swordsmanship and fighting spirit.  The barbarian beasts were eating and drinking very quickly. After a few minutes, Qiang Bucktooth began to move forward with four roaring warriors. The barbarian king's flag depicting the white bone sword was fluttering above their heads, making a hunting sound.  The two leaders of the White Guards did not come together. They still sat on the ground, talking and laughing loudly. It seemed that they did not take the defenders of Tallon Fortress seriously at all.  This was originally a very confusing scene, but after Tomad's reminder, everyone with rich war experience saw that these guys were just pretending.  The sitting posture of the barbarian orcs looks very relaxed, but in fact it is as tight as a bowstring. The mount is right next to him, and the positions of each other are not in the way of each other. He can jump up at any time and quickly jump on the hunchback.  It is conceivable that if the fortress defenders attack rashly, they will not be greeted by panicked and confused idiots, but a severe blow from the roaring warriors who are well prepared and ready.
