At night.
Silver Rose at the beginning of the month.
The cool moonlight, sprinkled on the earth, seems to put a layer of gauze on the world.
On the 30 meter high wall of the blade fortress, more than 100 soldiers, armed with spears, stood at the gap of the battlements and looked at the 200 meter long passage in front of the wall.
The soil on the passageway is abnormal black red, with no weeds and a faint fishy smell. This is madiland's world-famous Orc slaughterhouse - Orc's throat!
The wall of the blade fortress is built in the middle of a narrow passage between two cliffs. On both sides are majestic and precipitous mountains. The mountains are natural barriers that separate the orc steppe from human territory. The army can't pass at all.
The first emperor of the Luonan Empire, blade the great, who defeated the orc Empire and drove all the orcs to the prairie, once said in his public speech: as long as you guard the blade fortress, it's like holding the orc's throat, so the passage gets its name.
Sure enough, as the blade emperor said, the resources of the orc prairie could not support the large population and super livable orcs. The orcs who retreated to the prairie had to fight against the blade fortress.
The 200 meter long and 80 meter wide passageway became an insurmountable natural moat. The imperial garrison held the fort at a negligible price.
Hundreds of thousands of ORC corpses, covered the passage, the garrison of the blade fortress, spent three days and three nights to clean up the corpses.
After the battle, the land of ORC's throat was infected by blood and turned black and red until today.
The failure of the emperor's decision led to the collapse of the orc Empire and turned it into a primitive chieftain system.
In the next few thousand years, once the number of orcs on the orc prairie exceeds the limit that the grassland can support, they will have to attack the blade fortress again and be harvested by the human garrison of the blade fortress again.
The orc's throat is an inch of land where there are constant wars, which makes it barren.
In this way, the orcs, whose population was equal to that of human beings, now have only one percent of the population of human beings.
Human beings are in full control of the initiative.
When they didn't want to start a war, they smuggled more grain into the orc prairie and squeezed the final value of the orcs.
When you want to start a war?
Don't be kidding, a rich man living in a villa will think about going to the slum kiln to beat the poor?!
The answer is yes.
Because this rich man wanted the land under the poor people's feet, but another rich man forced him, coupled with the poor people's strong body, the fighting style, and the terrible dog guard, the situation has been so deadlocked.
This is the current world pattern of madiland world.
The orcs have been guarded by dragons. How can humans not guard against these big guys who can fly and breathe fatally? Therefore, they invented a weapon - Dragon gun.
This powerful catapult was enough to pierce the dragon's scales, but it was huge and inconvenient to move, which was the reason why the Luonan Empire didn't enter the prairie for a long time.
On the wall of the blade fortress, some soldiers stood on the launching pad of ten huge dragon guns, always paying attention to the movement in the sky.
A soldier looked at the sky and felt his eyes sour. He bowed his head and rubbed his eyes. When he was distracted, he heard the song and dance coming from the fortress behind him. Smelling the smell of barbecue and wine, he couldn't help sniffing and sighing.
"Ah! How fragrant! It's unfortunate that everyone else is having a welcome party, but we are blowing cold air on the wall. "
Feeling the deep resentment of his companions, the soldiers on one side comforted him.
"Don't complain, someone will come to take over in a moment, and we can..."
"Look, what's that?"
Suddenly, a cry of surprise interrupted the soldier's words.
They looked at the sky in front of them. Three shadows came from afar with their backs against the silver moon, as if they were the God of death from the moon.
"Dragon! Loong! Dragon
A soldier responded quickly and sounded the bugle of war!
Woo woo!
First, the cry of the soldiers' panic, then the sound of the horn, reverberated over the blade fortress.
The jubilant crowd was in chaos. The soldiers quickly put on their armor, found their own team, and went to their posts under the leadership of the officer.
Although, every few years, there is news that giant dragons fly to human territory and loot villages and towns, most people have never seen a dragon in their life.
Most people don't want to see it either, because dragon is synonymous with death and disaster.
The Dragon gun can kill the dragon, that's right!
But the premise is to hit. If you want to hit these guys moving at high speed in the air, you have to shoot a few more arrows. However, in most cases, before the human soldiers hit the dragon, the city has turned into a sea of fire.
General Losch, who always pays attention to the movement of the city wall, rushes to the city wall. He is excited to see the gradually larger figure in the distance.
He is one of the few people who want to meet the dragon, because he is a soldier!
Blade emperor once said: do not want to kill the Dragon soldiers, not qualified soldiers!
After reading this famous saying in the book in his childhood, young Losch kept it firmly in his mind and took it as his life goal.
"Soldiers! Don't panic! Go back to your posts! They're nothing to be afraid of. We have dragon guns! Fifty dragon guns! As long as they dare to come, we will shoot them into a sieve! "
In the design of blade fortress, the situation of dragon attack was taken into account. Not only on the city wall, but also on the tower inside the fortress, dragon shooting guns were installed. When a large number of dragon shooting guns were launched together, the special armor piercing arrows were enough to cover the whole sky.
General Losch was very excited. He felt that his dream was coming true.
"Come on! Brave imperial soldiers! Let's go
The cry of the commander-in-chief played a role. The well-trained soldier quickly turned the winch. Under the huge pull of the winch, the arch arm of the adult waist thick cross was bent. Another soldier picked up the crossbow on the ground with both hands and put it into the launching slot. The soldier in charge of aiming adjusted the direction and aimed the flashing arrow at the flying shadow.
General Losch put his hands on the cold wall and clenched his hands tightly. His bones turned white, but the cold wall could not make his hot heart get any relief.
The wind blows up the young commander's blonde hair, but in Losch's eyes, there is only a giant dragon flying. The noise around him is filtered by his ears, and he can only hear his own rapid heartbeat.
Finally, the dragon is less than 1000 meters away from the fortress.
After the Dragon flew close, Losch finally found something wrong. The length of the dragon's body recorded in the book is mostly about 15 meters.
And now these three dragons!
I don't know the specific length, but it is more than twice as long as 15 meters!
