Outside the front army city, before the sky was completely bright, Milieu woke up early.
He didn't sleep well that night. He fell asleep only after hearing the shouts and screams from the city in the middle of the night.
Milieu stepped out of the tent, but did not see the expected human corpses all over the ground, but four orc thousand-man leaders kneeling side by side in front of the tent.
Milieu's face immediately darkened, "It seems that you didn't complete the military order?"
"General, we have found those human soldiers, but they are hiding underground like mice. It will take some time to catch them." The first thousand-man leader on the left hurriedly explained.
"Military orders are like mountains. I only want the results, not the process. Drag them down and each person will be whipped thirty times."
Milieu ordered, and the guards behind him rushed forward and dragged these thousand-man leaders to a corner of the camp, and loud whip sounds followed.
Each whip left deep blood marks on their backs, but it must be said that the orcs were really tough. During the whole execution, several orc warriors gritted their teeth and said nothing.
After 30 whips, each thousand-man leader's back was torn and bloody, and several of them were brought to Chili again.
"I will give you two more days. Whether you use water, smoke, or the lives of soldiers, even if you demolish the entire front military city and dig three feet deep, you must put the bodies of those human soldiers in front of me."
"I obey the order!" The four thousand-man leaders shouted in unison.
"Go, this is your last chance. If you fail to complete the military order, it will not be as simple as thirty whips!" Chili said in a cold voice.
After receiving the order, several orc thousand-man leaders turned around and ran to the front military city again, regardless of the wounds on their backs. They wanted to vent all their anger on Arthur and the human soldiers.
At this time, the sky was completely bright, and the rising sun was a little dazzling. Milieu stood facing the sun with his hands behind his back, a little dazed.
If he had taken action himself, it would definitely not be so troublesome, but as the leader of 200,000 orcs, if he really took action against those weak human soldiers himself, he would become a laughingstock of all orcs and human warriors.
The strong are also burdened by reputation!
What's more, some news reached his ears that there was a space magician behind these human soldiers. If he used the hero-level orcs to bully the weak, he might retaliate against the other side.
Since early morning, the attacks in the front army city began to become fierce, and the orcs began too recklessly.
Some tall orcs began to demolish houses, flattening the houses in the city one by one, not giving human soldiers the opportunity to use the buildings for sneak attacks.
Some orcs poured smoke into several holes that had been discovered and dug. The orc captain and his elite orc warriors all stood at the forefront. As long as the human soldiers showed their heads, they would immediately attract the most violent attacks from the orcs.
On the other side of the city, the orcs stopped breaking into the warehouse and began to demolish the houses from the outside.
Teams of orcs worked hard, but there was no result for the time being.
The underground military road in Tianjin City was designed with a series of fire prevention, waterproofing, and smoke prevention at the beginning of its construction. The smoke poured into the cave by the orcs came out of several buildings.
Most of the buildings in Tianjin City were built with rocks transported from the inland upper area. They were extremely solid, especially the military supply warehouse, which was made of whole pieces of granite. The orcs took a lot of effort to destroy a corner of the warehouse.
The orcs would be able to force the human soldiers out sooner or later in this way, but two days might not be enough. Several orc captains kept making anxious roars.
Arthur and Joan, who were underground were also anxious.
"Several exits nearby have been demolished. If we delay any longer, they will dig us out sooner or later." Joan's words were rarely filled with worry. It was Joan who first proposed that the troops go to Tianjin City. After being surrounded by orcs, Joan said nothing on the surface, but she blamed herself very much in her heart.
Arthur was still calm, "It's impossible to escape. What we can do now is to delay the orcs as much as possible and try to delay until someone comes to rescue us."
"How to delay? Without the cover of the ground buildings, we have lost the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. I'm afraid the orcs are waiting for us to show up now?"
Arthur thought for a while and asked slowly, "Are there any other exits nearby?"
"There are still two places that have not been used, but they are all nearby. I'm afraid that once they are exposed, they will attract orcs, and there is a section of the passage in the middle that has been collapsed by us." Joan said, a little frustrated.
"It doesn't matter. We can dig a hole somewhere else, go around the orcs from far away, and hit them hard from behind!"
Qing looked at Arthur as if he was a fool. "Dig a new hole? This place is about ten meters above the ground. It's easy to collapse if you dig from the bottom up. And the orcs on the ground who are sensitive to the sound of your digging will definitely feel it?"
Arthur smiled, "Don't think I'm as stupid as you? Don't forget, I'm a magician, and a full-system magician. It's so easy to dig a hole underground with earth magic."
Qing's eyes lit up immediately. Every time he fought, Arthur rushed to the front with the Falling Star Giant Sword. If he hadn't said it himself, Qing really forgot that Arthur was still a third-level magician.
"Not only me, but also our Master Telugu? Which race is better than the dwarves in forging and digging holes?" Arthur actually had the mind to tease the old dwarf.
"Arthur, don't think about ordering me to fight for you!" The dwarf Tulutuk said angrily.
"Master, you are not fighting for me. If the orcs or I accidentally collapse the underground military road, I will not be the only one buried underneath. I am afraid that you will not even have the chance to surrender to the orcs at that time!"
The old dwarf was so angry that he jumped, "I will not care about you even if you are buried!"
After such a long time of getting along, Arthur actually knew the old dwarf's temper. He was also hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. He said he would not care, but when it came to the critical moment, the dwarf would definitely jump out to help.
So Arthur and Joan led the troops along the underground military road to the direction behind the orc soldiers.
Estimating that they were close to the city gate, Arthur first cast a "swamp spell" on the passage above his head to soften the soil above, and then cast a "sinking spell", and the five or six meters deep soil collapsed by itself. He repeated it again, and then opened a big hole above his head.
"You opened such a big hole that the orcs can follow in." The dwarf muttered beside him.
"It's just right to let a few orcs in, so that we can kill them better from below." Arthur still did not forget to retort.
When the orcs were working hard to demolish and advance, more than a hundred human warriors suddenly came up from behind them.
The orcs at the end of the team were killed by surprise, and dozens of orc soldiers were chopped to the ground in an instant.
When the thousand-man leader who reacted turned around with the elite orc warriors and rushed over, the human warriors turned around and fled again.
The orc warriors who chased after them soon found the hole where the human soldiers escaped. Looking at the huge hole exposed on the ground, the orcs hesitated again whether to jump or not...
