Chapter 281: Guarding the Wall and Guarding the City Are Two Completely Different Things
Outside a wall of River Valley City.
The thought body was trying hard to kill the orcs, blood kept dripping from the long sword in his hand, and there were densely packed corpses of orcs around him, and broken limbs were thrown everywhere.
"Eighty-seven, eighty-eight..." The thought body silently counted the number of enemies he killed, calm and a little excited.
Jins's evaluation of him was really right, one against a hundred, but now his physique has been further strengthened by the Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal, and this number is estimated to be doubled.
The first wave of orcs who attacked the city had been killed, but more and more orcs came out of the cave to support here.
A mountain of corpses made the newly arrived orc army feel a little scared, but they did not choose to rush into River Valley City from other gaps, but tacitly decided to avenge their companions.
The smoke and blood aroused the ferocity in every orc's bones. Almost at the same time, they all rushed to the thought body, like a dark wave, surging.
The thought body was soon surrounded. Except for the wall behind him, there were enemies in all directions.
"You really think highly of me!" The thought body sneered, holding the long sword with both hands, and took a deep breath at the moment when the orcs came to kill him, "The roar of the fire dragon."
Boom!
The red flames engulfed the black tide around, not even sparing a few blind spots.
A large number of orcs screamed one after another, and some even turned into ashes in the flames before they could react.
In an instant, the area around the thought body became a dead place, and even he was a little surprised.
If the orcs were scattered, this move might not have such an effect, and at most a dozen could be killed.
But who made them choose to surround, and blocked the roar with their bodies in all directions without blind spots, which directly doubled his record.
The thought body looked at the frightened orc army in front of him, raised his long sword and snorted coldly, "Come over if you dare."
The voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in the ears of the orcs.
The leading orc glared at him angrily, and then decisively abandoned this wall and rushed into the valley city from other directions.
There was no way, the corpses on the ground had proved the cruelty of this man.
Although there were many of them, they would definitely kill this man if they fought hard, but they could not afford the price.
What's more, Asog's order was to capture the valley city, and they would pick the soft persimmons. Why should they gnaw on this hard bone? Wouldn't it be better to bully the people inside?
"Tsk!"
The thought body curled his lips in disdain, but he was barely relieved in his heart.
His magic power was still sufficient, but his physical strength was consumed a lot. If he continued to kill, he would have to run away.
Moreover, a large number of orcs had already rushed into the valley city, and it made no difference whether he defended or not.
Ah~
At this time, the thought body suddenly heard a familiar scream, and couldn't help frowning.
"Tilda, Sigrid?"
The two names flashed through the thought body's mind, and it quickly moved to the place where the sound came from.
A team of orcs rushed out from the street, and more than a dozen old and weak became their targets, Sigrid and Tilda were among them.
"All petrified."
Seven or eight red light balls accurately hit the team of orcs, and all the cursed people stiffened and fell to the ground.
"Gaius." Sigrid immediately pulled her sister to the thought body, "It's great to see you."
"Why are you here?" Aaron asked with some concern, "Have other places been lost?"
The two sisters looked at each other and nodded with difficulty.
"The orcs came from all directions, except for this small area of the old street, but now it is estimated that they are almost there." Sigrid said heavily, "River Valley has fallen. We don't even have weapons, so we can only flee in a hurry."
The corner of the thought body's eyes twitched slightly. He thought that if he defended half of the city wall, he could buy time for Bard to arrange the city, but now it seems that he still underestimated the attack strength of the orcs.
"Barn." Tilda grabbed the thought body's hand and said anxiously, "Brother Gaius, Barn is still fighting the orcs to cover us. Please save him."
"I know, I know." The thought body said immediately, "But I don't know anything about this city. You have to lead me."
The sisters felt a little relieved and took the thought body through an old street to the place where they separated.
But after arriving, the thought body was a little dumbfounded. If he hadn't found that the sisters' eyes were also full of surprise, he would even suspect that they had deliberately led him here.
He didn't see Barn, but Bard, Gandalf and Bilbo were all here. They led a group of townspeople to fight against the orcs.
"Dad, here."
"We are here."
Sigrid and Tilda found Bard and shouted excitedly.
But the next moment, their mouths were covered by the thought body, "Don't, don't shout."
But it was too late. Several orcs noticed them, and there were also two several-meter-tall ogres.
"Remember, don't shout if you are not in a safe place in the future." The thought body said with some fatigue.
The two sisters nodded hurriedly and hid behind Aaron tacitly.
At this time, a figure suddenly rushed out of the alley. Barn stood in front of several people panting, "I'll stop them, you go first."
"I really want to praise you, but can you stop shaking your hands when you say this?
In addition, it's not your turn to be a hero here." The thought body said, turned his head and looked at Bard and others who were still fighting, and raised his wand helplessly.
"Expecto Patronus!"
The raven-shaped patronus was summoned and made a loud cry.
The white shock wave knocked down all the orcs within a range of dozens of meters, and even the two ogres kept retreating.
The raven spread its wings, flew to the ogres and slit their throats with its claws. Several other orcs were not spared.
Bard and others also seized the opportunity when the orcs were suppressed by magic and killed them all neatly.
Seeing that his three children were safe, Bard breathed a sigh of relief and ordered others to go to the east wall for support.
"Aaron, why did you come just now!" Bilbo said with some complaints. If he had come earlier, they would not have had such a hard time fighting.
"I am the only one guarding the west wall." The thought body said confidently, "I blocked hundreds of orc troops by myself, otherwise the situation in the city would be even more chaotic."
"Gaius, can you still use the magic you just used?" Gandalf asked.
"What do you think?" The thought body rolled his eyes, "Do you think I can stop an army with a sword without using magic?"
"I shouldn't."
"Of course I can't, otherwise I wouldn't be here now."
"By the way, shouldn't you give me an explanation, Ice Dragon?"
"I'm just borrowing your fame. The words of a respected grey wizard are definitely more contagious and more inspiring than those of a nobody like me." The thought body looked at Gandalf meaningfully, "You... shouldn't mind, right?"
Gandalf's face twitched, but he could only suppress the grievance in his heart, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, "No, I don't mind at all.
Bilbo, let's go, let's go fight, I really want to kill someone now."
"Gaius, I beg you. "Bad said seriously," help me concentrate on women and children, take them to church. " He nodded tangled, but Tirda grabbed Bud's hand, "We want to be with you." "You should listen to Dad." Alverd didn't know where to get out. "This matter is given to me, adults." Then, he dragged the three brothers and sisters to the side, but when he was turn, he shrank half of his hand and revealed a one. The exclusive smile of the dog's legs. He has seen it with his own eyes just now. This is not old, but it is definitely a big man. There was a flash of disdain in the eyes of the thought body. Other men in the city were either fighting or on their way to fight, but this man looked like nothing except that his clothes were a little dirty. It can be seen how afraid he was of death.
"Alfred." Bard reminded, "Only women and children can go. All men must participate in the battle. You must come back."
"Okay, I'll transfer them first.
Wait for orders when you come back." Alfred said nervously, then turned around and ran away.
"This kind of person is not worthy of trust." The thought body said lightly.
"It's true that he is afraid of death, but he is not a threat to anyone." Bard said.
At this time, a large number of orcs came from the street, and countless reinforcements climbed over the wall to join the battlefield. The situation of humans became particularly critical.
Seeing this, Bard immediately raised the long sword in his hand and jumped into the street to advance and retreat with his people.
"Are you coming?"
"Well... I don't have much magic power left, and I plan to go to the church and set up a defensive magic there."
"Okay."
"But before that, I can help you solve a small obstacle.
Let your people retreat a little, I won't care if they get hurt by mistake."
The thought body said as he walked to the middle of the street and stood in the open space between humans and orcs.
Bard immediately understood what he meant, "Everyone, don't fight back yet, retreat as much as possible."
The thought body shrugged, and hot flames emerged from both his left and right hands. He put his hands together and released a huge fireball.
"The... brilliant flame of the fire dragon."
Boom!
The explosion sounded, and most of the street was instantly covered by flames, and part of the street and the city wall were melted.
Dozens of orcs and ogres were either engulfed by the flames or crushed under the ruins.
After the thought body released its ultimate move, it ignored the stunned crowd and just panted and said, "I can only do this much for now. After setting up the defensive magic for the church, if I still have the energy left, I will come back to help you."
