    As usual, when the sun dipped low to the western horizon, the barbarian orc team that violently attacked Tallon Fortress retreated like an ebbing tide, leaving behind hundreds of corpses of the dead in battle, as well as numerous heavy equipment.  wounded.  A low and pitiful groan replaced the clang of metal collision. For a moment, the whole fortress seemed particularly silent, giving people the illusion of being in a country of the dead.  Tomad, who had been fighting on the front line from beginning to end, was soaked in blood, his armor and helmet were covered with dents, and his sky-blue cloak became fragments of cloth hanging on his back.  However, despite his miserable appearance, his spirit seemed particularly uplifting, and he even smiled involuntarily as he walked down the ramp.  The Fatigal Oasis, the foreshadowing left in the Desert of Abraham, finally began to work, and had a certain impact on Zulu Gritoutz's orc army.  The name of the Blessed Land has been recognized by many roaring warriors of the barbarian beasts, and there are still some people who are willing to accept the ritual of opening their hearts to the God of March and become moon warriors with divine power.  The so-called ritual of opening the heart to the God of March uses a simple totem altar to establish a special spiritual mark in the hearts of the barbarian beastmen who participate in the ceremony, so that they can obtain the power given by the tattoo space to a limited extent, and this  This power was naturally interpreted by the Aogasi shaman as the divine blessing of the March God, which made the Moon God Warriors' faith even more unswerving.  The strong man who rushed to the city this time, Balthazar, was the first batch of Moon Warriors, and he was also the most outstanding one among them.  Whether in terms of pure strength or skill, he has surpassed Fatiguere's original number one warrior, Don Kaba.  Aogasi Shaman sent him and a small group of Moon Warriors to join the barbarian army besieging Tallon Fortress. On the one hand, he wanted to contact Tomad, who had not heard from him for more than a month. On the other hand, he also considered the French army.  Tigel currently does not have the capital to directly confront the Barbarian King Banner, so he needs an explanation for the conscription order.  Strong Balthazar happily accepted this mission.  He had never met Tomad, and apart from knowing that the Son of God's Blessing had a pair of golden eyes like a miniature sun, there was no other description that could help him confirm the identity of the Son of God's Blessing.  However, Aogasi shaman solemnly told him that as long as he saw the son of God's blessing, he would naturally know.  Qiang Balthazar didn't quite understand the meaning of Aogashi Shaman's words, but those shamans and witch doctors all spoke in such a mysterious manner, so the Moon God Warrior didn't think much about it.  .  Hearing the roar from Jon Balthazar, Tomad was almost hit on the shoulder by a series of hard hammers. Fortunately, the power that the Luna Warrior burst out came from the tattoo space, and the moment he almost hit the target  , automatically judged as an accidental hit.  The long hammer with a faint red light passed over Tomad's shoulder and shattered his silver-plated shoulder armor, but did not cause any damage to his body.  Then a dark green light circled out from Tomad's wrist, surrounding Strong Balthazar. In less than a heartbeat, the mighty moon warrior disappeared into the suddenly stronger  In the light, it seemed as if the entire body was melted.  This scene was seen by many barbarian orcs and Talon Guard soldiers, and their morale suddenly changed dramatically. Many barbarian orcs who witnessed the brave killing of strong Balthazar screamed in panic, and then left  The opponent turned and ran away; the morale of the guard soldiers was greatly boosted, and they launched a continuous and wonderful counterattack, driving back the roaring warriors who had finally rushed up to the city wall. Many of them had no time to escape back to the area where the hooks were, and with their swords  He was forced to fall down the city wall more than 20 meters high, breaking his bones and tendons.  When Tomad returned to his room, it was already more than two hours after nightfall. The losses caused by the fierce battle on the third day were slightly smaller than those of the previous two days. As Lord Toth said, the rice was growing.  Separate from bran.  Even so, the casualties of up to 300 people made the official in charge of statistics turn pale. Viscount Tonks once again put forward the idea of ??"a decent ending". This time he still did not get support, but the number of people who remained silent was obviously far more than  Last time.  No matter what you consider, it is unlikely that Tallon Fortress can sustain itself for a month. In two weeks at most, there will be no soldiers left standing on the city walls.  Although the barbarian orc army also suffered a heavy blow, there were at least two to three thousand corpses dumped under the city. However, compared with the total number of tens of thousands, it was not a loss at all.  To make matters worse, as follow-up reinforcements from the Barbarian tribes arrived, the army gathered under the Barbarian King's banner continued unabated. Long Fengdrick, who was responsible for the intelligence and reconnaissance mission, said in a low tone at the military meeting that the Barbarians  The total number of the orc army may have exceeded one hundred thousand.  Of course, there are many slaves and servants with low combat effectiveness in this 100,000-strong army. The most elite White Guards under Zulu Gritoutz have alreadyAfter annihilating most of them, the number of roaring warriors loyal to the Banner of the Barbarian Beast King did not increase.  This is the only good news these days.  When leaving the conference room, the entire fortress was bathed in silence.  The tranquility under the light of the red moon and the silver moon formed a strange contrast with the fierce battle under the sun.  The sharp night wind rushed towards his face. Tomad paused in his steps, facing the wind and looking outside the city. He stared at the barbarian camp that was like a sea of ??fire. His mind was filled with the news brought by Strong Balthazar.  The emergence of the Luna Warriors means that the T53 plan for the rise of the barbarian orcs has been more than half realized.  Unlike the unruly roaring warriors, the Luna warriors have been deeply spiritually imprinted in their souls. They can get help from the power of the tattooed space, and they are also subject to the same restrictions as the warriors produced in the Dark Elf Castle.  .  Jon Balthazar is currently lying in a stalagmite house in the city of Mosselin Anros, sleeping soundly. Tomad can summon him through the portal at any time to fight bravely for him.  This is the common fate of all the Moon Warriors who obtained spiritual imprints during the ceremony. In fact, even the Aogasi Shaman who presided over this ceremony was not very clear about it.  The Luna Warriors still retain all their memory and wisdom - if they have such a thing, but their loyalty to Tomad has transcended their original position, and all it takes is Tomad to say a word, or do something  With a gesture, the Luna Warriors will carry out his orders without hesitation, even if they have to challenge thousands of enemies alone.  That is something even the most savage and crazy beastman roaring warrior cannot do.  A burst of footsteps came from behind, and then stopped not far away.  Tomad didn't look back. If the footsteps were unfamiliar a few weeks ago, then after these days of fighting side by side, they were already familiar to the point where they didn't need to be identified with the eyes.  "Lord Toth, have you finished talking to the blond Sugar Man?" "Sugar Man? This nickname is not funny at all." The steel-fisted shadow with a tough appearance strode to Tomad's side.  , holding the crenel with his hand, he spat fiercely towards the city, "You might as well say that he is a poisonous snake with honey on its tongue. Lord Tomad, you know what he wanted to say when he stopped me after the military meeting.  "What's the matter?" "It's just about surrendering to the king of barbarians decently, right?" Tomad shrugged his shoulders and replied with a relaxed expression.  "It's not that simple." Lord Toth snorted, his eyes sparkling under the reflection of the campfire outside the city. "He proposed to me that since the loss of more than one-third of the defenders on the front wall has exceeded one-third, it is urgent to rest and resume fighting.  He wanted to mobilize Mosselin's allies to serve as the main force against the orcs' attack." Tomad was silent for a few seconds, and then his tone became lower, "I'm afraid this is not a very good proposal.  "Of course it's not good, and it contains evil intentions," Lord Thoth replied bluntly, "I don't mean to distrust our allies, but no matter what the purpose is, there is no reason for the dark elves of Mosselin to face the attack of the barbarian orc army.  . They are excellent shooters and hunters. Frontal combat is not their strength. I have been living in mountains of swords and seas of fire for more than 20 years, and I can¡¯t even see these things clearly. " "But there are always people.  He couldn't see clearly, and he expressed his appreciation for Viscount Tonks's remarks. Tommad said abruptly, "I have heard similar remarks more than once since the war started. They seem to have forgotten one thing, the dark elves."  When did the reputation of the family become so pure and good? Lord Thoth, if this kind of rumors continue to ferment, it may not be a good thing for Mosselin's allies. " Lord Thoth is a little embarrassed.  He twitched the corners of his mouth and grinned an ugly smile, "I understand, Lord Tomad, I will immediately arrange for personnel to investigate the source of the rumors. After tonight, I will ensure that no one will talk about this matter in Tallon Fortress.  "That's good." Tomad looked away from the outside of the city, and then shook his head slightly, "The wind brought an unusual smell, Lord Toth, I have a hunch.  The matter won't be settled so easily, and it might involve something we didn't expect. " "You mean, Viscount Tonks is a traitor?" Lord Toth thought for a while, "It is indeed possible.  Let¡¯s report it to the Marquis of Steel Fist and arrest this guy for questioning.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s not Tonks, at least he¡¯s not a key figure,¡± Tomad said in a positive tone, ¡°He really is.  Too lively, completely different from the low-key tone of the previous period, as if trying to attract our attention" The young pilgrim's voice became deeper and deeper, and his eyes shone with the light of thought, "Key Person  It will only jump out at critical moments. It is too early to close the net now.There was no trace of that guy at all.  "
