    The orc army did not launch an attack the next morning. Since the siege equipment was completely destroyed, and more importantly, Ferrero El Ni?o, who supervised the construction of these things, had died tragically, the orc army had to find a new way to climb the city wall.  The twenty-meter-high and five-meter-thick stone city wall will not turn into a shoddy project just because of the roar of the warriors. After thousands of years of wind and frost, although there is some weathering and erosion on the surface of the Tallon Fortress, the main body is still as fine as before.  Forged from steel, it stands stoically on the main road on the western border of the Griffin Empire.  In the two extremely short days that followed, the barbarian orc army reorganized the armed slave troops and mixed them with the barbarian orc roaring warriors. Each roaring warrior was equipped with ten armed slaves.  Zulu Gritots personally announced strict wartime regulations. If the roaring warrior died in battle but the armed slave survived, he would be poked alive on the stakes and set on fire after nightfall as a warning to other slaves.  Little trick.  This is of course a cruel and ruthless thing, but no one dares to question the order of the King of Barbarians for the lowly slaves.  Although there were several small-scale resistance incidents in the slave camp, they soon returned to calm under the bloody suppression of the White Guards. Only hundreds of wooden stakes were poked out of the camp of the barbarian army.  The bloody corpses of slaves.  At dawn on the third day, warning horns sounded from several watchtowers at the same time.  The orc army began to file out of the camp, gathering to prepare for an attack.  Tomad, Silva and Lord Thoth climbed onto the first city wall at the same time, taking turns observing the enemy's situation with bronze looking glasses.  The barbarian orcs gathered more than 50,000 troops this time, and they were arranged in a phalanx of 2,000 people. A total of 25 huge phalanxes slowly approached, the flashing metallic luster was like a steel jungle; countless pairs of feet stepped on  On the ground, although the sounds were irregular, they had an astonishing power that shook the heavens and the earth, as if the entire desert was shaking and impacting. It was a violent and terrifying scene.  The city wall was not attacked by catapults, indicating that the barbarian orcs still had no way to repair the destroyed siege equipment.  This was good news, but Lord Thoth frowned deeply.  "I'm afraid today will be very long." He put down the bronze looking glass and muttered solemnly, "Twenty-five phalanxes, each with 2,000 people We are preparing to launch an endless continuous offensive.  I'm afraid the archer troops won't be able to hold on for long, and it will be very difficult after noon. " "In this way, we can also choose to take turns to rest," Silva said with some confusion, "could the 50,000-strong army be suppressed in one fell swoop.  Isn't it more terrifying? We only have 1,500 people, and it may be difficult to stop such a huge attack. ""This is the reason why we took the risk in the past two days," Tomad reminded from the side, "Siege the city.  The most important thing for troops is the ability to launch troops. The first wall of Tallon Fortress is more than 300 meters long, but for 50,000 people, this length is still not enough for them to launch an attack at the same time. The dense crowd under the wall can only increase the number of troops.  Casualties. But if there are those siege towers, the situation is completely different. Ten towers are ten bridges. Once they are close to the city wall, thousands of barbarian orcs will come up in less than half an hour.  Completely engulf our few manpower." Six hundred archers climbed onto the city wall, lined up, and then began to arrange their bows and arrows, adjusting them to the best condition; the same number of shieldmen protected them one-on-one, and were ready at all times.  Prepare for a desperate fight with the barbarian warriors who climbed up the city wall.  The reserve team consists of eighty pilgrim brothers and two hundred elite steel fist cavalry. The latter are all equipped with spears and short-handled battle axes, holding shields in their left hands, and the visors on their helmets have been lowered.  The sky is covered with clouds. This time it is not Bishop Kurgan¡¯s secret method of raining, but the wrath of nature.  Large swaths of dark clouds are gathering in the southern sky. More and more, thunder is rumbling. But with Tallon Fortress as the boundary, the sky in the north is clear, and golden sunlight pours down, coating the gray-black fortress.  A layer of brilliant golden light film.  Tomad suddenly felt that the beautiful scenery at this moment could be regarded as a CG animation, and he couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.  A shrill sound of bone flutes resounded through the southern sky, and tens of thousands of barbarian orcs roared in unison, then accelerated their pace and rushed toward the fortress.  The distance quickly approached, and after 200 meters, Lord Thoth shot a loud arrow as a signal, pinning a big orc to the ground, and then fired row after row of arrows from the left and right walls, in the direction of the orc.  There were heavy waves of blood in the formation.  Bows and arrows could not prevent the barbarian orcs from approaching the city wall. After five consecutive waves of arrow rain, the first city climbing hook flew up the city wall with a roar, followed by the second, the third and more hooks whizzed.  It flew up, and the iron hook bit deeply into the gap in the battlement.  Hundreds of arms under the city pulled hard, the ropes tied behind the iron hooks straightened, and the shield bearers waved their war swords one after another.The ax went to cut the rope, but Lord Thoth snapped him back.  "Cutting the rope too early will never eliminate the enemy. Wait until they climb more than halfway!" This order is difficult to implement completely, because there are too many hook ropes flying up to the top of the city, and it is impossible to calculate which ones have already been climbed.  Which one still just hooked the crenel.  In fact, even if the guards were hacking desperately, they could not stop the orcs from climbing the city wall. The rope behind the hook was thick and tough, and it would take seven or eight blows for an ordinary warrior to cut it off with a sharp battle axe.  The first barbarian orc finally climbed up the city wall, but before he could stand firm, he was hit by two battle axes and a spear at the same time, and fell down with a roar.  In an instant, there were seven or eight beastmen on the city wall. One of them was three meters tall, holding a long-handled war hammer, and the head of the hammer was larger than the head of an adult man.  This guy let out a savage roar at the rushing guard soldiers. With one swing of his long hammer, three soldiers were knocked to the ground. Then there was a particularly violent blow, and the shield bearer who was chosen as the target was dropped in despair.  Tomahawk, he held up the shield with both hands to block his head. The result was like smashing walnuts. Everything above the chest was smashed into a blur of flesh and blood by the long hammer.  This roaring warrior used his brute strength to carve a gap in the defenders' line, and then led his several equally barbaric subordinates to rush left and right, increasing the room for maneuver, and more orcs began to open up from him.  They climbed up the city wall through the gap and soon gathered into a small force of nearly fifty people.  The Roaring Warrior was not satisfied with the results he had achieved. He took advantage of the break in the battle to straighten his body, glance left and right, and soon discovered the figures of Tomad and others.  The Roaring Warrior showed a ferocious smile, raised his blood-soaked hammer, and pointed in the direction of Tomad, "That's the evil-eyed god of death, worth fifty camels and a strong position! Hey!" "Hey, hey  Yeah, hey!" His men responded with the same excited voice, and then rushed forward with wild shouts, leaving the captured position to the armed slaves climbing up the city behind.  No one could stop the brave assault of this small force of barbarian orcs. A steel fist knight led more than 20 elite cavalry to block their advance, but was bent by the roaring warrior with a hammer. The second hammer  Smashed the head.  The elite cavalry were naturally massacred and retreated leaving a dozen corpses behind.  The roaring warrior wielding a long hammer kept walking and soon approached Tomad, but the resistance he encountered was getting bigger and bigger.  The two patroller brothers attacked from the left and right, but were slightly injured by the flurry of long hammers, and had to retreat; the patroller Bull and the roaring warrior, who used two-handed giant swords, faced off head-on. After the two heavy weapons collided three times,  Bull's arms were numb and his palms were bloody. If the roaring warrior hadn't wanted to rush in front of Tomad as soon as possible, he would have almost lost his life.  No one can stop the Hammer Warrior, but his barbarian orc warriors are not so optimistic.  The exquisite cooperation of the pilgrims stopped them one by one, and then they all fell under the silver-plated sword. In the end, only the hammer warrior charged forward and killed more than two dozen pilgrims and knights who fell under his hammer.  number of digits.  "Let me do it!" Silva yelled angrily, drew his long sword and approached, "Big barbarian, let me be your opponent!" The Hammer Warrior wields the hammer with one hand and uses his body to rotate in a wide range of attacks.  He pushed back the few pilgrims in front of him, and then glanced at Silva, "Female? Don't block the way. I'll kill you. You have no reputation!" "My reputation is much louder than yours!" Silva told him sternly.  , and at the same time, he stepped forward and launched a thrust as fast as lightning.  The leader of the White Guards, Tanes Bonebiter, was stabbed in the ribs by such a move, and then lost the battle. However, the long-hammer warrior in front of him was far more agile than Tanes. The long-handled warhammer suddenly  Sinking down, the huge hammer head lightly touched the edge of the silver sword, causing Silva to almost lose her grip.  "Woman, if you can't do it, let's changethe glaring-eyed god of death." The long-hammer warrior said in jerky common language.  "I am Qiang Balthazar, the war leader of the Lionhead Tribe, and I came here just to fight with him!" "It's enough for me to deal with you!" Silva handed the silver sword to his left hand, preparing to attack again  , but as soon as the figure beside her moved, Tomad had already protected her behind him.  "Silva, your swordsmanship is not suitable for a head-on confrontation with him, and you can't let the guests who come from afar feel that they are being treated coldly. Leave this to me. You go and help Lord Thoth. He is also in trouble." Hill  There was a mixture of shame and anger on Wa's face, but she was clear-headed enough to understand that Tomad was making excuses for her.  Strong Balthazar was much stronger than the leader of the White Guards she had dealt with before, and he did not have the weakness of being slow. He was indeed not an opponent suitable for Silva to deal with.  "Okay, Tomad, you be careful." "I?Careful, don't worry.  "Tomad's tone seemed very relaxed, as if he was sure of victory, but from the fact that his eyes were fixed on Jon Balthazar, and he didn't even look away when he spoke, it was obvious that he attached great importance to the opponent in front of him. "Silva hesitated  After a while, he finally left quickly. There were fierce battles all over the city wall, and people were killed or injured all the time. There was really no room to worry too much about Tomad. Qiang Balthazar pursed his lips.  You can say goodbye to your woman.  He said generously, "I will not take the opportunity to make a sneak attack. I will beat you to death openly and let my reputation replace yours."  " "I think I'll only be gone for a few minutes, so I don't need to say goodbye.  "Tomad raised the gryphon sword, and his voice suddenly became very low, "But since you said the word 'your woman', I will make your defeat not so ugly.  " "I will not lose, you are the one who loses!  "As soon as Qiang Balthazar finished speaking, he immediately launched an attack at a jaw-dropping speed. Thomas was shocked, and then he realized that this guy actually retained some strength when he charged into the battle just now. But fortunately Thomas  De could keep up with the speed of the hammer warrior, and ducked to avoid the hammer head. The griffin sword raised an arc from bottom to top. Balthazar dodged and dodged. Tomad then slid forward and struck out with the second sword.  Then, he stabbed the barbarian orc in the right eye. Strong Balthazar crossed the long hammer and used the hammer handle to deflect the sword. Before he could launch a counterattack, Tomad spun around and jumped up, holding the sword with both hands.  The war hammer and the gryphon sword collided with each other. Strong Balthazar's muscles bulged and he let out an earth-shattering roar, "Fatiguere, give me strength!"  "
