    After sending a signal with a silver-plated whistle, Tomad slashed a bloody path from the back of a group of barbarian orcs and met up with the soldiers of the fortress defenders.  Many people witnessed his crazy performance of killing the entire siege tower orcs alone. The hero's return immediately injected new vitality into the defense line. The orcs suddenly felt that the resistance to the attack had become much greater. Several  There was even a small counterattack in one place.  However, this vitality did not last long, because the physical exertion of the guarding troops was approaching the limit. Some soldiers were shaking even with their sword and shield arms. No matter how high their spirits were and how high their fighting spirit was, they could not turn around.  Defeat becomes victory.  Just when the front was about to shake, a thunderbolt suddenly sounded in the sky. Suddenly, golden lightning split the sky one after another, and the loud noises suppressed the commotion on the battlefield.  The hurricane then exploded, with violent blows that tore flags, broke flagpoles, and made people almost unable to open their eyes.  The sky at noon above our heads suddenly seemed to be late at night, shrouded in layers of dark clouds. Lightning and thunderbolts sounded one after another, as if the entire sky was about to explode.  Zulu Gritoutz, who was watching the fierce battle on the hill, stood up in astonishment and looked at the sky with an expression of surprise on his face. "Why did so many dark clouds suddenly gather? Shaman Xiuqi, didn't you all say this in unison?"  I promise, it will be a sunny day today?¡± Shaman Xiuqi, who temporarily took over his duties due to the mysterious death of Chief Shaman Kayid, bowed deeply and replied with a somewhat uncertain tone, ¡°It should indeed be sunny.  At least I couldn't smell a trace of rain in the morning. "What's going on now? Is your nose malfunctioning?" the orc king said angrily, pointing at the dark sky.  The rich water vapor makes people feel out of breath, and even a blind person can know that a storm is coming.  The old barbarian orc sniffed his nose, with a strange expression on his face.  "There will definitely be a huge storm, but this is not a force of nature I smell the dirty breath of weak human gods. It stinks to death." The King of Barbarian Beastmen also raised his head to the sky, his expression was cold, like a marble statue, his eyes were  But it was shining with vigilance.  "Human godshehnow I miss the Chief Shaman of Kayid. If he is still here, there shouldn't be any problem in eliminating this storm, right?" "Of course the great power of the March God can  I can do it." Shaman Xiuqi murmured in reply, "It's a pity that the Chief Shaman is a bit stingy and didn't reveal at all what method he used to control the power of the God of March, otherwise" Both of them were  There was silence, and a series of earth-shattering thunderbolts exploded. The whole world was illuminated by dazzling electric light, and then quickly dimmed again.  In less than half a minute, the downpour poured down, the rain was so violent that it seemed as if the Milky Way across the sky suddenly broke down the dam, pouring the river water to the world like a waterfall.  The fierce battle ended because the soldiers on both sides were so dizzy from the water that the rainwater flowed into their eyes, and they could not see clearly anything beyond a step.  A group of barbarian orcs who had just climbed up the city wall rushed forward without thinking. As a result, they rushed over their heads and fell into the first city wall, causing all of them to be seriously injured.  Both the siege tower and the arrow tower were filled with water, and the iron nails driven into the ground were no longer strong due to rain. The two siege towers tilted violently one after another, and the "Qiang" and "Gang" who were in charge of the command were helpless.  , had no choice but to blow the bone flute to retreat, and let the wild giants drag those behemoths back.  Most of the barbarian orcs on the city wall jumped back to the siege tower and evacuated. Some guys jumped down with the city climbing hook, but there was also a small group of roaring warriors who were jealous and refused to retreat.  As a result, they were surrounded by the fortress guarding legions, stabbed with spears and slashed with tomahawks, and finally all died.  Although the first wall of the fortress was defended, no one cheered. Not only were there heavy casualties, but the heavy rain made it very dangerous on the wall. Lord Toth shouted and left a small number of sentries to stand in the watchtower, and then led a large group of troops to withdraw.  Take shelter from the rain, and be careful to avoid the rolling rain and the many floating corpses floating in the water along the way.  This storm lasted quite briefly, because Bishop Kurgan and the five pilgrim brothers were already exhausted, and the excessive rain did not do much good to the defenders.  Half an hour later, the rain slowed down to a fine mist, and the gaps between the dark clouds widened, revealing the blue sky and golden sunlight.  Bishop Kurgan sighed tiredly and was about to announce the end of the ceremony when Tomad unexpectedly came into the room and asked him in a low voice.  "Your Majesty Bishop, if we can barely hold on, how long can this rain last?" Bishop Kurgan put down the holy object in his hand and glanced at Tomad with some confusion, "Brother Tomad, could you be?"  Want to use floods to wash away the barbarian orc army????  This may not be easy. Even if all the brothers in the entire monastery are called to pray together, the rain cannot continue.  " "No, that's not what I meant.  Tomad shook his head in embarrassment, "Mr. Bishop, I mean, how long can this drizzle continue?"  Bishop Kurgan showed a thoughtful expression this time, "Two hours at most."  He finally clapped his fingers and said, "After all, there is no rainfall in the clerical domain of the Lord of Justice, and this ceremony has completely drained away all the water vapor from hundreds of kilometers nearby."  " "Two hours?  That's enough.  Tomad clapped his thigh excitedly, "I'm going to discuss the attack with Lord Thoth right away. All those siege towers must be destroyed, otherwise it will be difficult for us to defend the next attack!"  " The suggestion to attack was strongly endorsed by Lord Thoth, but unfortunately, the leader of the first branch suffered several minor injuries in the guard battle just now, and his fighting spirit was almost exhausted. Although he was treated by the priest's magic,  The injury is no longer serious, but the consumed fighting energy is not easy to replenish. Seeing the pale Lord Thoth struggling to get up, grabbing the armor and putting it on his body, Tomad hurriedly held him down. "  Don't force it, your lord, we are out to attack, not to die.  "Tomad said to him in as gentle a tone as possible, "Actually, we have almost assembled the manpower for the attack. Eighty fellow pilgrims who did not participate in the bloody battle just now, forty knights from the fortress guard army, plus steel soldiers.  The two elite cavalry companies of the Knights of the Fist had no difficulty destroying those siege towers.  " "Do you think in such a short period of time, the gap between the monastery pilgrims and the steel fist knights has ceased to exist?  Lord Thoth retorted in a hoarse voice, "You are too naive, Lord Tomad. I admit that you are a genius in swordsmanship and an expert in fighting."  But you don¡¯t understand what is the most difficult thing about surprise attack!  Destroy those siege engines?  No, that's easy, of course you can do it!  But what happens when you retreat to the fortress?  Who will cut off the situation and how to respond?  Without me going with you, do you think you will be able to suppress the arrogant warriors of the Knights of the Steel Fist?  " "Thoth is right, but Tomad is also right.  "A low voice came from outside the medical center, and then the door curtain was swung with rain, and the Marquis of Steel Fist Dragonson strode in and took the armor from Lord Thoth, "Let me attack this time.  Go ahead.  " "But" Lord Toth seemed a little at a loss, and Thomasad's eyes widened, "My Lord Marquis Dragunson, you must sit in the fortress. This is your duty as a guardian.  If you lead an attack, people will think that Talon Fortress is at the end of its rope, and even you have to fight on the front line in person.  " "Oh, of course this is a problem, but it is not difficult to solve.  "Marquis Dragunson said as he took off his helmet and then unbuckled his armor, "Thoth, you have been my shadow since I took over as the head of the Dragunson family.  Sometimes I have no other skills, so I let you put on my armor and act as the Marquis of Steel Fist.  Today we can switch positions. I will wear your armor and be the shadow of the steel fist.  Lord Thoth was so stunned that he actually forgot to refute. It was not until Marquis Dragonson put on most of his armor and began to adjust the helmet on his head that he reacted from the shock. "This is not possible, Lord Dragonson."  , this is too dangerous!  "He grabbed Marquis Dragunson's arm, and his voice was so loud that even he was startled. "There are more than 100,000 barbarian orcs outside. If anything happens to you" "Danger?  For God's sake, is there no danger for others to attack?  "Marquis Dragunson asked in pretending to be surprised. "That's different.  You are the Marquis of the Steel Fist, the guardian of Tarlon Fortress and the spiritual pillar of the Knights of the Steel Fist.  " "If I lose this battle, I will be nothing.  Marquis Dragonson replied in a deep voice, and then blinked at Tomad, "What's more, the Marquis and the God of Death joined hands in danger and attacked hand in hand to write a new chapter of the heroic epic. Isn't this something that can be passed down?  A good thing for a long time?  " Tomad laughed dumbly, and some strange thoughts could not help but arise in his heart. The Marquis of Steel Fist, who was originally said to be as ferocious as a demon in legend, was actually just an old knight who defended his shortcomings and was strong. If it weren't for Hangley's character,  Maybe you can even make a pretty good friend. Lord Toth lowered his arms helplessly, "You can always find a reason to take risks. Lord Marquis, please take care of yourself. Tallon Fortress can live without Toth.  , but it cannot be without the Marquis of Steel Fist.  Also, don¡¯t ruin my image casually, it took me more than ten years to build it.  "
