The original fortress was destroyed

The thick and sharp Werewolves claws came towards Foxskin. The long bow was stuck in Werewolves's chin, and his strength was no match for the opponent.

At the moment when the sharp claws arrived, Foxskin's pupils went blank, and he turned into a light, snow-white fox. His petite body escaped the fatal blow, his claws grabbed the long bow string, and his legs jumped to the top of Werewolves's head.

Immediately afterwards, Brunomigis changed from a fox to a human state. His hands were still holding the bow string, but the bow string was also brought to the back of Werewolves's head during this jump.

The hair on his spine stood on end. Werewolves realized that he had been put around his neck by the long bow. He wanted to turn around, but the tall Werewolves could not stretch his hands behind his back like a human. At this moment, Werewolves wanted to learn from Foxskin and turned into a wolf to avoid it.

But it was too late, Foxskin held the bowstring with both hands, and the originally tight bowstring turned into a rope in his hand, strangled towards Werewolves's neck.

The palm of his hand went around Werewolves's face, and his legs were clamped around Werewolves's waist. Foxskin pressed hard on his palm when Werewolves's claws were less than ten centimeters closer to him.

The bowstring cut open his palm, and blood flowed down. The same blood spurted out from Werewolves's neck, which had lost its head.

Jumping to the ground, the tall Werewolves corpse fell with a thud.

Foxskin ignored the corpse, picked up the longbow, turned around and ran towards the most tragic battlefield. A few jumps brought him to the roof. The longbow in his hand once again became Werewolves's nightmare.

Boom!!!

A tall house collapsed. Werewolves stood up from the ruins, raised his head and roared at the Moon in the sky. He threw away the human corpses in his hands, and then continued to rush towards where another group of humans were.

"Weak humans, today you will witness the bloody glory of Gagg."

Werewolves roared, his mouth with fine fangs was bright red, and blood was flowing down. Werewolves in this Winter City didn't need to care about the waste of "food" at all.

"Kill these weak humans..."

Werewolves's roar came to an abrupt end, because the tall Armored Bear man stood up in front of him and roared towards him. Like a strong wind blowing on his face, the hair on Werewolves's face was blown to the back of his head. The shock of Armored Bear made Werewolves unable to react for a moment.

The bear's paw was slapped down, Werewolves's head was broken, and then Armored Bear charged towards the distance.

"Soldiers, attack! Attack! Don't let any Werewolves escape!"

Borgeld stepped on Volibear's head and shouted angrily. Behind her, the ground shook slightly, and huge shadows loomed on the edge of the firelight.

In the dark night, support from Rhino Horn Mountain arrived. Thousands of Armored Bear charged towards Winter City. There was not much plan, but they charged at those tall Werewolves with overwhelming force. In the firelight of Winter City, Werewolves could not hide his body at all.

"Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived!!!"

In the distance, soldiers were shouting. Human morale surged at this moment. Each human being held weapons and surrounded those Werewolves. When Armored Bear arrived, the battle could be over.

The balance of war began to tilt towards mankind. On the tragic battlefield, Winter City was taking back his own land.

Rhino Horn Mountain.

Ryan stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the light flashing in the north direction. This was the signal flare sent from the watchtower.

"A hundred years ago, humanity as a whole had few Extraordinary Legions. When faced with the invasion of Orcss, it would take the strength of the entire human race to drive them away."

"A hundred years later, times have changed."

"Borgeld They should have arrived at Winter City, right? I hope the casualties there won't be too tragic."

Although he talks about the changing times, Ryan is still a little worried. Winter City has one hundred thousand people. If there are too many deaths, it will be a huge blow to his prestige.

In the distance Mountain Forest, the magical light of the signal crossbow has dimmed. Ryan withdrew his gaze and focused on the surroundings of Rhino Horn Mountain.

Frozen Earth Territory and Brandt under Rhino Horn Mountain are patrolling. Two thousand Stag Legion soldiers and hundreds of Fenrir hunters patrol the surrounding area to avoid all possible Werewolves troops.

The Frozen Earth Territory under their feet has no defense line like a city wall, so the Mage Corpss are ready. Once they discover Werewolves, they will bombard them without any rules. As for the Alchemy Academy further away, Ryan believes that Rose will not be careless.

Fortunately, Rhino Horn Mountain had an uneventful night.

Ryan's face didn't look much better because of this. When Dawn's Dawn pierced the dim sky, he understood.

Rhino Horn Mountain is fine, then Winter City must be fine.

——

Armored Bear shuttles on the ground of Winter City, which is full of bumps. Whether it is Werewolves or Armored Bear, fighting will cause considerable damage to the surrounding environment.

Armored Bear was walking alone and came to a corpse of Werewolves. He slapped the opponent on the chest. Regardless of whether he was dead or alive, he just hit him and it was done.

All around, Armored Bear Warrior was rescuing injured humans while preventing possible attacks.

At Dawn, Winter City was full of black smoke, and the injured Werewolves turned into a wolf beast and ran away. Armored Bear could not catch up with them. The knights chose to give up after chasing to no avail.

Most of the Werewolves who were alive escaped, and the number of Werewolves who died in the city exceeded 3,500.

But in comparison, the number of dead humans was close to eight thousand.

This number made Harrington tremble all over. He didn't know how to explain it to Ryan.

"The number of Werewolves that attacked last night was at least 10,000."

Wolfskin Ulf was covered in injuries. If Winter City hadn't also stored a small amount of Holy Water and Life Potion, he might not have been able to survive the serious injuries last night, and had to turn into a wolf to relieve the wounds.

Now I was walking staggeringly in Winter City, looking at the tragic battlefield around me, my eyes were a little dazed.

"Gam's people are not afraid of death."

He finally said that this was also true. Eight thousand people died in this city, but there were not many cries. They had been experiencing such tragedies long ago in another world, and even they and the knights around them were still enemies.

Ryan also has to admit his luck. If his people were replaced by people from other Empire territories, I am afraid that the entire Winter City would be in infinite despair now.

The people of Children of Doomsday and Gam will not be immersed in despair. They experienced the only time when Deities died, but now, their new "Deities" is still alive.

Not only the people of Gam, Berserk War Bear Legion also suffered nearly fifty casualties in last night's war, but the people of Bilki are also not afraid of death. They are keen on war.

Morale, the most fragile thing for any territory, is the strongest strength in the hearts of the people of Frozen Earth Territory.

They will not collapse inwardly and be at a loss. When facing the enemy, ordinary people will take up arms to fight.

"How are the scouts outside?"

Foxskin came out and said that he still remembered that there were several watchtowers around Winter City.

His words left others unable to answer. A watchtower was defended by only thirty ordinary soldiers. Even Winter City could not stop Werewolves's crazy attack. The watchtower...

"I will send people to support you."

After Harrington left, the knights of Winter City formed a team and followed Armored Bear to support the watchtower.

Fifth Watchtower.

Blood was flowing on the wooden circular staircase. It could be seen that the bottom staircase had long been broken and broken.

On the top floor, eleven and a half humans were gasping crazily. Their bodies were covered in flesh and blood, including their own and Werewolves's.

Gradually, as time passed, the eleven and a half human soldiers turned into ten and a half, and turned into nine and a half.

"Letty Can't hold it anymore? I feel like I'm almost done."

A soldier with diagonally crisscrossed bloodstains on his chest said that he was breathing out more and taking in less air. His lips were pale with blood loss and he looked at his sleeping companion next to him.

"I heard that his ancestors were still nobles. The purpose of becoming a guard is to one day restore the glory of the family and become a noble master again."

"It seems he has no chance."

"It seems to be dawn outside."

The light from the cracks in the window seeped in, but none of the soldiers wanted to move their bodies close to it. They had already run out of strength.

A hunter opened his eyes.

"There is movement outside."

"Damn it, isn't it Werewolves again?"

With only one arm and one leg left, the captain stood up with a long sword with pits and came to the edge of the stairs. It was more than five meters high from the ground. The stairs below had all broken. It was precisely because of this height that they, thirty ordinary soldiers, had to hold on until now.

The moment he saw the metal armor, the captain laughed and fell to the ground.

"It's not Werewolves, it's one of ours."

Hearing this, the others were a little happy, but also looked at the other two companions with a little regret who had not been able to survive until now.

"What a pity."

In the afternoon of that day, Rhino Horn Mountain also received a battle damage report from the north. The death of more than 8,000 people was undoubtedly a heavy loss for the entire Frozen Earth Territory.

"Orcs are not humans. Unless the human city wall is the unicorn fortress in the Kingdom of Serra or a large city like the Northwind Province, it will be difficult to form an effective defense against the powerful orcs."

Ryan put down the report. After a whole night of brutal fighting last night, the last thing that appeared in front of him was just a number. His eyes were a little cold, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about the next step.

"Extreme militarism is not necessarily... problematic."

Ryan wants to farm, to develop the economy and culture in an all-round way, and to live in harmony with nature. This is the instinct brought to him by his past memories, but this night attack told him that he was too greedy.

Some inheritances do not apply to his Frozen Earth Territory. His land is too close to the barbaric Orcs.

"I plan to build a fortress between the future Great Wall and Winter City."

"Just like the castle defense line in the north of Adachi King King Castle, a military fortress is used to connect the war and the land."

When Avril came to the study, Ryan said this.

Avril did not respond immediately. After thinking about it, he asked:

"Will it cost a lot of money?"

"Well, it will take a lot. Northern Territory Merchant Guild hasn't started making money yet, so this matter will be delayed for a while."

Ryan said, glancing at the female officer approaching outside the study.

"I still have some resources in the territory of Imperial Capital and Countess Blade Rose, which should be able to offset some of it."

Avril also saw the female officer at the door, but she puffed up her chest with some shortness of breath.

"It's not yet this far. Those shops and Mithril output will also be important in the future."

"I hollowed out two Gold Mines, but the number of Gold Coins is enough."

Avril did not leave, the Viscountess came in and placed Winter City's careful report on the desk.

"Winter City During the war last night, Werewolves burned seven warehouses, and 60% of the food inside was burned."

Hearing this, Ryan frowned.

"How could these Werewolves... do such a thing?"

Ryan didn't know whether to laugh at this time. Werewolves tried his best to burn the granary, otherwise Winter City probably would have killed more people last night. He had no food, but at least he saved more people.

"They are very smart."

The Viscountess said that the messages passed bit by bit from Winter City roughly explained what happened last night.

Werewolves first made a large-scale detour. It shuttled among Mountain Forest, bypassing Fifth Watchtower and Sixth Watchtower. When it was about to arrive at Winter City, there were hundreds of Werewolves launched an attack on the two watchtowers. It now seems that the purpose was to delay the time for them to deliver the message, and at the same time, to prevent the soldiers from the watchtowers from taking advantage of the night to search for Mountain Forest to find the size of the attacking Winter City Werewolves.

"Gagg..."

Ryan said, these Werewolves are led by the "Gagg" clan, so this wisdom can only come from that Garg Clan.

"Let the Chamber of Commerce purchase food at the Sera Kingdom and Empire South."

Ryan still has some headaches. He has an additional 100,000 people, and the pressure on food is already great.

"Those watchtowers cannot resist Orcs's attack alone."

The Viscountess finally said this worriedly, Ryan nodded, he also saw it.

"I will let Egil and Brandt find a suitable location to build a military fortress."

Ryan needs a large number of military fortresses in the form of military towns or villages to the north of Winter City. According to his current thinking, the several thousand population of Fenrir is the most suitable.

Some of the people of Gam can also move out. If someone here in Rhino Horn Mountain has the courage and courage, they can also make room. After all, there are still tens of thousands of people in Bilki World who have not come to Frozen Earth Territory.

"Magic Academy's students may be able to help me build those military fortresses."

Ryan thought this way and asked Avril, the student of the Magic Academy.

"Demon Mages are all short of money."

Ryan It is necessary to build a military fortress, but it is not enough to just pile up stones. This is an extraordinary and prosperous world, and magic arrays must be engraved on it to ensure its strength.

This is also the difference between the empire and other kingdoms. The huge number of magicians makes many things in the empire beyond ordinary people's imagination.

"I heard that Elves are good at making elemental war weapons. Dwarves even built Magic Crystal Cannon that flies in the sky on the land of the volcanoes in the south."

Ryan was a little curious. He was wondering if he could get in touch with Elves through the Sera Kingdom.

Frozen Earth Territory was licking his wounds on the ruins of the war, and Ryan had no intention of paying attention to anything else, but gradually, things began to become unbearable.

"Fragrant Mountain Plains Fortress was breached by Black Goat Orcs. Tens of thousands of Black Goat Orcs broke into Cold Mountain City County. Viscount Landa took all the population of Cold Mountain City County to defend the county. They need support, a lot of support."

Baron Hatton's eldest son, Lian En, ran to Frozen Earth Territory, delivering information faster than the nobles.

"How could it be breached?"

Ryan almost growled. He suppressed the anger in his heart. Fragrant Mountain Plains's fortress was built by all the nobles of Northwind Province over several months. A large number of soldiers were stationed there. How could it be breached.

Moreover, why is it so direct, even Anxiety can't do it?

Orcs goes south and enters Northwind Province. There is actually only one and a half roads. That half of the road is the complex geographical environment on Frozen Earth Territory. Black Goat Orcs cannot travel on a large scale. Only Orcs like Werewolves, which can adapt to various environments, can march on a large scale.

So Werewolves appeared here, and Black Goat Orcs, an old acquaintance of Northwind Province, was still walking on the flat land of Fragrant Mountain Plains as before.

Fragrant Mountain Plains can be said to be a plain sandwiched between two vast mountains. If it weren't for some special features of Orcs, it would be the only pass leading to Northwind Province.

To the east is a rugged land that spreads to the east of the Andara Kingdom, and Frozen Earth Territory is among them.

To the west, the majestic mountains help Empire South provinces block the numerous Northlands winds and snows. Even the five Empire provinces adjacent to Northlands are hundreds of miles away from this westward mountain range.

The Griffin Mountains and the North in the east include the Mountain Forest mountains with the lowest height including Frozen Earth Territory, the Empire northern mountains in the west, and even Winged Gorge in the south, sandwiching Northwind Province in the middle. It should be a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

As a result, now tell Ryan that the only pass was actually breached by Orcs?

Why is he so angry?

If Northwind Province is like a stretched out foot to the Empire, with the sole protruding from the northeast of the Empire, then Frozen Earth Territory has the same status as Northwind Province.

Fragrant Mountain Plains's fortress is breached. Once the subsequent war gets out of hand, Empire completely renounces Northwind Province, and all the nobles in this province flee, then Ryan's Frozen Earth Territory will face enemies from all directions and from every angle.

Frozen Earth Territory is like a Big Bowl, but now, there is no safe place around this Big Bowl.

Black Goat Orcs was able to hit Zero Crossing City last time, but not this time? Once arriving at Zero Crossing City, South of Ryan and the north, they will all encounter the invasion of Orcs.

He couldn't block enemies coming from two directions, how could this not make Ryan angry.
