Chapter 390: These Are All Merits!

"Everyone, stop thinking about dying! You won't be able to die!"

"Hmm? Why?" Mil and the others were stunned. In this situation, even if they had the gods themselves attached to their bodies, it should be a certain death, right?

"Because our reinforcements have arrived! I heard the sounds of battle from the south!"

"Rein... reinforcements? Sounds of battle from the south?" The group was stunned, then listened carefully.

The next moment, they indeed heard the faint sounds of battle coming from far away in the south.

And the number seemed quite large!

"Tr... truly? There are reinforcements? Excellent, may the God of Glory protect us!"

"Yes! Our reinforcements have arrived! Haha, thank the God of Glory for His protection!"

Instantly, Mil and the others, who had just moments ago held a heart determined to die, began jumping up and down, nearly crying with joy on the spot!

"Everyone, do you still want me to help you finish them off?" Gervas asked with a smile.

"Uh, of course not! Gervas, the reinforcements have arrived; we don't want to die!"

"Exactly. Tonight, following you, we killed quite a few orcs and held the Gray Shiqiao. It's merit and we get to live; how could we bear to die! Gervas, just pretend we were talking nonsense just now!"

"Hahaha!"

Instantly, the nobles themselves burst into laughter.

"My lord, bad news!"

"What is it?"

Hearing his subordinate's urgent report, Babic felt his heart skip a beat for no reason.

"My lord, the south... the south has a human army!"

"What! How is that possible! Red Stone City is at least twenty li from here!" Babic's face turned iron-green.

If only he had another ten minutes, he could have eliminated all the nobles in this camp.

But at this critical moment, a human force appeared!

"How many humans?"

"My lord, at least... four or five thousand..."

"Damn it!" Hearing his subordinate's answer, Babic's face had already darkened like water.

Although human combat power was not strong, he had already expended too many subordinates in this camp tonight!

"My lord, what now? Should we retreat first?"

"Retreat? No, I must kill these damned humans! Issue the order; give me your all to surround and attack these damned nobles! Before the humans arrive, wipe them out!"

His subordinate looked at Babic's bloodshot eyes; he originally wanted to advise him but forced himself to hold back. "Yes, my lord!"

"Orc warriors, my lord has given the order: attack these two-legged sheep with full force and eliminate them as quickly as possible!"

"Hoo hoo hoo!"

Hearing the order, the orcs surged forward again.

"Thinking of killing us at this moment, it seems the grudge is truly deep. Then let me make you give up completely!"

Gervas clicked his tongue; the orc leader opposite him had obviously gone berserk with killing intent.

Otherwise, if they withdrew now, the losses would not be too great.

But if he dragged it out, in a little while, he wouldn't be able to leave even if he wanted to!

"Spear formation, advance!"

Previously, because he was reluctant to spend troops, after the orcs breached the camp, Gervas had withdrawn the spear soldiers; after all, the space was narrow and the risk was relatively high.

But now, the reinforcements would arrive in a few minutes, so letting the spear formation hold the line for a while was completely fine.

Soon, the spear formation completed its array.

Seeing this, the longsword soldiers immediately moved to the two sides.

"Spear soldiers, advance!"

Following the command, the spear formation quickly moved forward, filling the positions vacated by the longsword soldiers.

"Fools, just now, separated by the wooden wall, your spear soldiers were somewhat useful. Now that there is no wooden wall, can your spear soldiers withstand the charge of my five or six hundred orc warriors?"

Babic also immediately saw the changes inside the camp.

However, compared to those longswordsmen who could each single-handedly withstand an orc warrior, Babic did not take these spear soldiers too seriously.

Even though a subordinate had mentioned that night that these spear formations were also difficult to break through.

But in his mind, he now had more than six hundred orc warriors.

"Spear soldiers, thrust!"

Of course, very quickly, Babic's thought changed.

Because with the spear soldiers' thrusts, they instantly took away at least twenty or more orc warriors.

This killing efficiency was in no way inferior to that of the ballista.

"Damn it, you fools, block the spears! Sweep the spears aside, then charge forward!"

Hearing this, the orc subordinates gritted their teeth and swept the spears in front with their weapons.

And the effect was...

Naturally, they swept aside the dozens of spears in the first two rows, but the spears from the rear rows came one after another!

"Spear soldiers, thrust!"

Puff puff puff!

Hoo hoo hoo!

Another spray of blood mist flew, accompanied by more than a dozen orcs falling down unwillingly.

"My lord, we can't! The human formation is too tight, and they coordinate perfectly..."

The squad leader, face full of difficulty, looked at Babik.

Babik spat blood in anger, his fists clenching with a creaking sound.

But he also knew that the idea of killing these nobles before the enemy reinforcements arrived had already shattered.

"Everyone, retreat for me!" he gritted out the retreat order.

"Quick, my lord has given the order, everyone retreat!"

Amidst the shouts, the orcs finally began their retreat.

"Remembering to retreat now? Too late! Everyone, tie up these orcs, absolutely do not let them escape!"

"That's right, absolutely cannot let these despicable orcs who love to ambush at night escape! Everyone, chase quickly!"

"You despicable orcs who love to ambush at night, don't run!"

Seeing the orcs withdraw, plus the battle cries from the southeast growing closer, Mil and the others suddenly felt pumped up like they'd been given a shot, and actually plucked up the courage to start pursuing the orcs.

It must be said that success can indeed bring confidence.

If this had happened before, they absolutely would never have made such a move!

Pfft!

And Babik, who was retreating at this moment, was now so furious that he spat out a mouthful of old blood!

If the two ambushes had succeeded, that would have been one thing.

The problem was that both of his ambushes had failed, and with huge losses, and now he was being called despicable by these shameless two-legged sheep nobles.

"Not good, my lord, there are enemy cavalry."

Just then, the subordinate's cry of alarm once again drew Babik's attention.

He saw that on the road to the southeast, the rumbling of hooves was coming.

Looking closely, there were at least three or four hundred human cavalry.

Although the human cavalry did not hold too great an advantage over them, the orcs who possessed tall bodies.

But the appearance of these cavalry would definitely be able to tie them up and cause casualties to them!

"Marquis Marquis Aosiding Cavalry Regiment, charge!"

"Kill!"

At this moment, waves of battle cries came, and the hoofbeats became even more urgent, like a series of thunderclaps striking the flat ground.

This meant that the cavalry had entered the final sprint phase.

"Servant army, stop fleeing immediately for me, block these human cavalry for me!"

Babik could only sacrifice the pawn to save the king.

And his action did prove somewhat useful; those servant soldiers dared not disobey the order and all blocked in front of the Marquis Marquis Aosiding Cavalry Regiment, buying the orcs a certain amount of buffer time.

Of course, it was only partial buffer time.

When the orcs swarmed to the head of the Grey Shiqiao, the line immediately became blocked there.

The entire Grey Shiqiao was just over two or three meters wide; three orcs standing side by side fit just right, while four became crowded.

Thus, arriving here, even though the orcs were not rushing each other, it still caused a blockage.

"Haha, the orcs are blocked there! Commander Daric, quickly, order the soldiers to charge over; these are all merits, absolutely cannot let them escape!"
