Chapter 253

"According to our information, the orcs don't have much luggage at all. They will be in a hurry for food soon. Once the food is insufficient, it's no use doubling the number of orcs!" Karina thought for a moment and said.

"I think..."

"Sir, there is an urgent military situation!" just then a bodyguard hurried to say.

Su Lun got up and walked out of the war preparation hall. "What happened."

"Sir, just now a messenger claiming to be Blackstone fortress said he came at the order of count Wayne." the guard said respectfully.

"Count Wayne of Blackstone fortress, what did he send to do? He didn't want me to send troops." Suellen muttered to himself, and then said to the bodyguard, "take the messenger to the living room, and I'll go right away."

"Yes!"

Su Lun returned to the war preparation hall, gave a brief account, and then walked to the reception hall.

"You are the messenger of count Wayne?" said Suellen, looking at the dusty knight in front of him.

"Yes, sir." after seeing Suellen, the knight quickly asked, "Sir, Blackstone fortress is in danger. Count Wayne, please send troops to help us defeat the orcs as soon as possible. This is a personal letter from count Wayne to you."

The bodyguard next to him took the bamboo tube, checked it and sent it to Su Lun. Su Lun took it and looked at it. There was a noble badge on the air outlet of the bamboo tube. The seal was not damaged. Then he opened the seal and took out a piece of parchment from inside to look at it.

The content of the letter was not beyond Su Lun's expectation. It just wanted Su Lun to send troops to help them fight with the orcs. At the same time, it also promised that as long as Su Lun sent troops, he would promise to help him obtain the title after the battle, including the fiefdoms. Moreover, these fiefdoms were not the northern wasteland, but the hinterland of the kingdom of Florence. At the same time, he also implicitly threatened that if Suellen refused, he would not pass the territorial development assessment, and would tell the orcs the news of the north town.

Su Lun sneered in his heart. He didn't believe a word of the promise. It didn't say that he would help Su Lun get these things. It just said that he would report them to the king. It doesn't matter whether the king agrees or not. At that time, he can use this excuse to prevaricate him.

However, Su Lun was not interested in these commitments. He finally developed such a good situation in the northern wasteland. He was out of his mind before he returned to the kingdom of Florence as village head. Yes, it's the village head. According to the reward level of the kingdom of Florence, sulun is at most a baron, and then divides several villages into his territory.

"Take the messenger to have a rest and send troops to help Blackstone fortress. We will consider it. We need to discuss it." Su Lun thought in his heart and neither refused nor agreed.

"Sir, Blackstone fortress really needs your help!" the messenger said eagerly when he heard that Su Lun wanted to discuss.

"You go to have a rest first, and we'll give you an answer as soon as possible." Suellen waved his hand and then motioned the bodyguard to take him away.

Seeing that Su Lun no longer paid attention to himself, the messenger could only reluctantly follow the attendant to leave.

Suellen didn't worry much about the war between humans and orcs. He was thinking about how to get the best benefit from the battle.

In his opinion, the best result is that both humans and orcs will lose, but this situation is difficult to happen. According to the information he has obtained, orcs are now desperate.

The human side was not ready. Although Blackstone fortress temporarily blocked the orc attack, the stalemate lasted too long. According to the news received by the harpy Banshee and scouts, the orcs don't have much luggage at all. They must attack Blackstone fortress before they run out of food, and human reinforcements will take at least a month.

Suellen knew the firmness of Blackstone fortress. It was from Blackstone fortress that he entered the wasteland. Blackstone fortress is built in Blackstone canyon. This canyon is called Blackstone Canyon because the rocks are black.

The wall of the fortress is 20 meters high. There are cliffs on both sides. The valley mouth presents a trumpet shape. The fortress is being built at the trumpet mouth. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if Su Lun is asked to attack, it will be very difficult to attack here if he doesn't do it himself.

But I don't know why he had a strange feeling that the orcs must have a way to break Blackstone fortress. Suellen doesn't know why he's so sure. He didn't want to see the orcs win. Once the orcs broke Blackstone fortress, the northern provinces behind Blackstone fortress would be looted.

Suellen didn't care about these. He was concerned that the orcs would get a lot of food. You know, the orcs are always in a state of insufficient food in the northern wasteland. If the orcs get enough food supply and have enough food at that time, the orcs will definitely continue to fight. At that time, Zhenbei city will not be spared.

Moreover, the outbreak of the war had a great impact on the commerce and trade of Zhenbei City, and almost all commercial routes had been interrupted. Moreover, the migration of refugees was also forced to be interrupted. It will take at least ten years for the development of Zhenbei city to rely on natural production to improve the population. Sulun doesn't have so much time to waste.

After beating the messenger away, Su Lun returned to the war preparation hall and ordered all the soldiers to prepare for the battle. He didn't intend to fight the orcs directly, but was going to hide and secretly get some benefits.

The next day, Suellen left the north town with his army. He left Hathaway and Chris in the city, along with a thousand long gunners and archers. He left with the rest of the army and the Harpies.

The orc army is more than 300 miles away from the north town. It took three days for the army of the north town to come to a forest only ten kilometers away from the battlefield.

At this time, Blackstone fortress has become a meat grinder and a meat grinder. Human and orc sides continue to bleed here.

The ground was covered with blood, and the whole canyon was filled with a disgusting smell. Some of the bodies that had not been disposed of had begun to rot, and vultures circled back and forth in the sky.

The human defenders of the whole fortress were exhausted by the continuous high-intensity combat for a week, but their expression was stable, because reinforcements had arrived. Although those reinforcements were only a group of farmers who had put down their heads, the follow-up troops would continue to arrive.

As long as the reinforcements are sufficient and rely on this natural danger, they believe that no matter how many orcs come, they will eventually hit their heads and blood as before, and finally retreat in dismay.

The war has lasted for a week. Although tens of thousands of human defenders were heavy, the orc army also suffered huge casualties. Just the corpses piled up outside the fortress are already one or two meters high. Standing on the wall, it looks like a slaughterhouse below, but it's not cattle and sheep, but humans and orcs.

"General, you're hurt!" a bodyguard came to Wayne and saw blood oozing from Wayne's arm. He quickly took out the wound medicine and bandage.

"It's all right, a little hurt. Go down and have a rest." as the supreme officer of Blackstone fortress, Wayne is still very qualified. As a noble, he was obviously different from other noble generals and was more supported among soldiers.

Blackstone Canyon is windy.

The cold wind came out from the north of the canyon, and the strong smell made Wayne frown.

"The messenger didn't come back. The Lord of the North Town didn't come."

"Expected."

"Go back and have a rest. I'll watch here alone." Gavin shook his head and said. Gavin was covered with blood and his hard armor had many dents and looked broken.

"OK!" Wayne got up and went back to rest. As manager, he must ensure plenty of energy.

The night wind howled.

Five kilometers away from Blackstone Canyon, there is a camp of the orc army. At this time, the orcs do not rest. In the largest camp, the orc priests are feeding some strange creatures.

These creatures have a pair of meat wings, dark green skin and a dragon's head, but they look very ugly. Their necks are short, their bodies are strong, and their two hind legs are very powerful. If Su Lun is here, they can recognize it at a glance. It is a kind of Asian Dragon, named bipedal flying dragon.

Bipedal flying dragons are not very powerful in flying Asian dragons. Their body length is three meters and their wings are about five meters. They have no dragon breath, but they can spray poison. The poison effect of bipedal flying dragons is very deadly.

At this time, more than a dozen bipedal flying dragons were squatting quietly on the ground, and the orcs nearby kept feeding them. Soon after all the bipedal flying dragons were fed, a shaman priest came over.

The old shaman grabbed a handful of powder from a shabby pocket and spoke obscure language. Soon, an element of energy began to gather, and the old shaman scattered the powder into the sky.

A red aura enveloped all the bipedal flying dragons. Soon, these bipedal flying dragons couldn't help roaring. Their bodies were obviously stronger than before.

After seeing this effect, the old shaman was obviously relieved.

"Let's start!"

At the command, more than a dozen orcs climbed onto the backs of these two legged flying dragons with weapons. Each two legged flying dragon carried two orcs. The two legged flying dragon flapped its wings. It was obviously very hard. At this time, the shaman cast his magic again, a wind element gathered, and then blessed the two legged flying dragon.

"Flying!"

After blessing the flying skill, more than a dozen bipedal flying dragons flew into the sky with more than 30 orcs. There was no light in the sky. Thick dark clouds covered all the starlight. More than a dozen bipedal flying dragons melted into the darkness, identified the direction and flew directly towards Blackstone fortress.

The bipedal flying dragon was very fast. In order to avoid humans hearing the sound of wings, all bipedal flying dragons flew to an altitude of one kilometer. With the help of the bonfire of Blackstone fortress on the ground, the bipedal flying dragon carried the orcs across Blackstone fortress.
