On the street, the doors and windows of the houses on both sides were closed. All shops and taverns had stopped operating, and the whole city was filled with the atmosphere of a war about to begin.

Because this kind of siege will come basically every two or three years, the experienced defenders have already prepared the city's food and reserved materials very well.

The orcs and humans have different armies.

Generally speaking, if more than 10% of ordinary human army casualties in the Cold Weapon Age will have morale problems, and if more than 30% of them are basically scrapped.

After all, there are still differences between the so-called soldiers in the army.

Elite personal soldiers, such as the Knights.

Professional combat soldiers, city defense troops and other standing troops, standard soldiers.

Semi-professional militia are like military soldiers, which work and farm regularly, conduct military training on a daily basis, fight against theft, fight against the wind and waves, and invest against the venture capital.

The temporary recruitment of auxiliary soldiers was about to collapse and supported the crowd. Most of the time they were non-combatants as coolies. And the number accounted for more than half of the entire army.

This can also explain very simply why a unit will collapse if it loses 30%. The maximum number of people who can fight is 50%. The first person to suffer losses in normal combat is definitely the combatants.

If listed separately, elite troops such as the Knights will have stronger resistance to pressure. 30% of them need to rest and rest until the damage rate of the collapse can be close to about 60%. The standards for the anti-pressure of professional soldiers in the cold weapon era are almost the same as the international standards of modern troops. It can be said that they can maintain this ratio even more bravely when facing the dripping blood.

Orcs are completely different. On the one hand, the orcs are built on tribes, which are very chaotic, and often there is no distinction between war and auxiliary. If you die, you will only divide infantry and cavalry. In a sense, the wolf cavalry will indeed be more brave. Orcs who do not sit on wolf cavalry are all classified as infantry, except for shamans, spell casters, and old, weak, women and children.

The wolf cavalry in the wild pushed the city in a mess, followed by the infantry to eat dust. When siege the city, the infantry rushed up to the ant to attack the city.

Even if the powerful orc warlords have the greatest say, the fact that coordination between tribes is inconvenient.

The orcs' determination to fight is stronger than that of human professional soldiers, and they can be said to be brave. Objectively speaking, orcs usually only reflect after half of the adult soldiers' losses. Retreatment is decided by the tribe chiefs based on the situation of their own tribe. Many times the chiefs want to retreat, but cannot inform their subordinates. After all, the competition between orc tribes is also very fierce, and the chiefs' subordinates also lose too much strength. When the commands are not clear enough, it is difficult for these passionate orc soldiers to distinguish the actual damage rate of their own troops before the battle becomes clear.

Therefore, every time Sandaba fights against the orcs' winter attack, both sides usually can't get it.

In terms of Sandaba, it was a complete loss and no benefit at all. Perhaps some lucky people get good military achievements as the only comfort.

As for orcs, it is actually a shortage of supplies in winter.

Tribes that are difficult to feed most members in winter will participate in this siege. On the one hand, they can plunder some food, and on the other hand, they can also reduce the population. This is also a means of reshuffling rights among orc tribes.

It can be said that no matter whether you win or lose, the entire population of Northland orcs will benefit in general.

Whenever Sundaba had to deal with this kind of troublesome routine, he would concentrate all the food from the surrounding farms in underground warehouses, enough for the whole city to eat for the first half of the year.

Then, as much as possible, people from the surrounding villages gather in Sandabba.

The city itself often exports weapons to members of the Silver Moon Federation. The dwarf craftsmen here will continuously produce weapons, armor and arrows, so equipment is not a problem at all.

Dorag looked down from the observation window next to the arrow tower. A large area of ​​orcs were growing outside the city to cut down trees to make various simple siege tools to prepare for tomorrow's attack. Further away, some tents made of animal skins were built. Although it still felt a bit messy, it looked at least more disciplined than the orc tribes he had seen before.

"Did the warlord appear? It's so lively here every now and then."

"I would rather not be so lively." Hearing Dorag's joke, Heim, wearing a chain mail, smiled bitterly. "The large orc tribes usually have tens of thousands, and the small ones have hundreds of people. There are at least twenty or thirty tribes, and this year's warlords seem to be unkind."

Warlords, usually leading orcs in powerful tribal alliances will claim themselves like this.

"You just wait for them to build a ladder and a catapult to attack? Do you need me to disturb me?"

"You are our secret weapon." Heim shook his head, then clenched his fists fiercely. "I would rather you raid when the other party is in high morale and break their backbone!"

“It’s a good idea…”

Facing this army, Dorag was unable to defeat the opponent. But that would take a lot of time. Think about it, even if the opponent was a native of cold weapons, and only one bomber, how much effort would it take to kill tens of thousands of people. Ah, if you count halfway, it would be 20,000 to 30,000. This is not enough to count the goblins and kowtowers tribes who were joining in the fun.

Dorag began to miss his "destroyed explosion gust" in the ultimate dragon mode. When it comes to cleaning up miscellaneous soldiers, neither the Light Dragon nor the Dark Dragon are the opponents of the Ultra Dragon.

The dark dragon's attack range is the smallest. After all, the dark dragon's breath is not the ultra-long-range high-energy rays of "destructive jet white light". The dark dragon's breath is a special position, which can be a cone space of 120ft or a 5ft*5ft*360ft cylindrical space, with the advantage of being more difficult to resist.

Of course, although the attack range of the wind bomb that swept the atmosphere like a natural disaster and hurricane was very domineering, it was meaningless to face powerful individual targets.

"According to the work progress of these guys, you can start attacking at noon tomorrow at the latest." Heim estimated the enemy's workload and said, "Today is the last peaceful night. Try to let all the soldiers take a good rest. When the battle is in a stalemate, I hope you can give them some ruthlessness."

"Before this, I pretended to be an ordinary dragon vein warlock and had a ranged choke with a caster like a shaman on the opposite side?"

"If you wish," Heim shrugged. "I'll arrange the guards on duty, maybe you can take the opportunity to take a break. You know, we will be very busy from tomorrow."

I haven't slept well for a long time... I'm afraid only Galaxy can experience Dorag's pain.

Speaking of Galaxy, what are he doing now?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

At this time, the Milky Way, which was remembered by fellow villagers, went through a lot of hardships to speed down the snow-capped mountains on the peaks of the Naiser Mountains.

After getting lost in the hilly areas, he first moved towards the Nesser Mountains in the south. Because he wanted to find Brother Cui San, according to previous information, he should be near the "Orc Pass" on the banks of the Rewen River.

On the way, every hour after that, he inserted his knife to the ground and placed a stone at the end of the projected shadow. After 15 minutes, he placed a stone at the end of the new shadow. The line passing through the two stones is the east and west line. The first point is west and the second is east, so as to determine the direction of the cross.

It was not until he left the hills and arrived and saw the huge Neser Mountains that he stopped identifying this direction and walked towards Neser Mountains with all his heart.

In fact, it is a very stupid act to cross the Neser Mountains to the Reven Valley. If you start from Sandaba, you can reach the "Orc Pass" at the entrance to the east of the valley by walking along the Reven River; if you start from Silver Moon City, you can also enter along the Reven River and from the "Arward City" at the entrance to the west of the valley. You can almost see Drizzt after passing through most of the valley.

Unfortunately, the orc tribe compressed the operation space, the Milky Way had to leave the Rewen River for a time, and finally had to choose to cross the Naiser Mountains. After all, going west, it would be difficult to leave this area before the first snow came. The weather has become colder and colder in recent days.

The peaks of the Neiser Mountains are covered with white snow, and the uneven structure and layered snow layers may cause avalanches. Strong winds, steep slopes, and new snow are all factors that cause avalanches. The Milky Way is as far away from these snow areas as possible. Only when it is determined that it is safe will he lie on the snow and insert it into the snow with a hand axe to control the speed of the snow mountain descent.

He had to stay at a lower altitude before night came. Although he wanted to leave the higher altitude area immediately, time was not realistic. The north wind was so cold that the Milky Way had rested in the middle of the hillside on the back of the Nesser Mountains, and then spent almost half of the day to reach the top of the mountain.

Such cold weather will end up in high altitude areas on the north side. The Milky Way will decide to reach the warmer south slope within one day. Even if the altitude is slightly higher, it doesn't matter, at least 15 degrees warmer than the north side of the same altitude.

Ice fields were discovered from the Milky Way where the snow was rapidly descent. This was gradually formed by the melting snow in summer. The gullies in the ice fields were actually the path to the mountain. However, this gullies exposed to the surface are not safe. Unlike the speed of descent in snow, the ice fields are difficult to control the speed of descent. There are ice caves that go down the mountain near the waterfall of the glacier. Although it is a claustrophobic environment with a high degree of danger, it can gain a lot of time and is much safer than the exposed ice surface.

Milky Way used visual measurements to determine the general time. He pointed his hand at the sun and measured the width of his fingers to see how long it would take for the sun to go down the mountain. The sun was about 15 minutes away from the horizon and 4 was 1 hour.

Because the time in many worlds is not something that can be measured by watches, for example, in some worlds, there is 18 hours a day, so Galaxy does not use watches as a regular item. Just buy a local one in the world where watches are needed. However, Galaxy still misses a standard measurement tool such as watches at this time, because Feren is also a 24-hour system, but he can't buy a watch.

Less than two hours after discovering that night was coming, the Milky Way decisively entered the tunnel of ice. The ice melted quickly when it encountered water, which often caused the iceberg to overturn. There were some dangerous ice cracks here, which fell in the ice cave with great difficulty, which reduced the altitude by 900 meters within half an hour. This caused the surrounding ambient temperature to rise by 5 to 6 degrees. Although it was very hard, it was a profit.

Next, the Milky Way was like a groundhog, digging a hole in the wind-behind snow, drilling into the snow, and sealing the exit with the dug out snow, leaving only a small ventilation opening. Then he dug a "cold well" in this cold snow cave, allowing the cold air to sink and store it in the cold well.

To increase the surrounding temperature as much as possible, although the Milky Way cannot be considered a human at this time, it is precisely because it is "the weirdness of human beings", so it is also "afraid of" the cold.

Before dark, Milky Way found a settled point for himself and breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a kettle from his arms. The kettle was filled with snow on the top of the mountain. He placed it in his coat and would not be frostbite with the warmth layer between his body. As the activity was active, the snow would naturally melt. This was the time to quench his thirst. Although this was troublesome, eating snow directly would likely cause frostbite and lower the core body temperature.

Drinking snow water and eating jerky meat, I can only spend this tonight. The snow-capped mountains at night are very terrible.

The Milky Way decided to look for the stream down the mountain tomorrow morning, because the stream will eventually flow to the river, and you will always encounter humans... or at least the place where smart creatures live. Moreover, the stream also means that you can find some fresh food.

Unfortunately, I will have fun with the girl from Shuhai tonight in a nightmare.

"Ahhh...I just want to have a good night's sleep!"
