Chapter 426: Shouldn't I Have Imitated It Quite Well?

"Hou Jue Marquis Marquis Aosiding, what did you just say?"

The President suspected he had misheard!

"President, I said the orcs should not be able to enter the city because they cannot open the city gates!" Hou Jue Marquis Marquis Aosiding could only repeat himself once more.

"Hou Jue Marquis Marquis Aosiding, you must be unclear about the current situation. Thousands of elite orcs have ambushed inside the city, and they are rushing toward the city gates with unstoppable momentum!" Although the President confirmed it was not a hallucination, he still suspected Marquis Marquis Aosiding did not know the full details.

But Hou Jue Marquis Marquis Aosiding simply shook his head. "No, President, I am clear, because I received intelligence earlier that was not entirely reliable, stating the orcs would launch an attack inside the city tonight!"

"Therefore, I have already arranged for Adams to make preparations. If nothing unexpected happens, Adams should be able to prevent the orcs from opening the city gates!"

"Really?" The President's eyes widened, and only then did he realize that he and the others had summoned Hou Jue Marquis Marquis Aosiding for this very purpose.

Immediately, hope rose in his eyes, because the Marquis Marquis Aosiding family had indeed dispatched troops.

Eight thousand elite soldiers could truly block the orcs from opening the city gates.

"Of course it is true, President. I dare not guarantee anything else, but at least our Marquis Marquis Aosiding family's eight thousand elite soldiers can definitely delay the orcs from opening the main gate!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and see!"

Indeed, as long as the Marquis Marquis Aosiding family could delay for half an hour, giving other units enough time to assemble and react, this crisis could be averted.

The President wasted no more time.

Since there was now hope, he must be cautious, personally gathering and commanding the units.

"Roar! Orc warriors, the city gate is right ahead! Everyone, speed up!"

Meanwhile, on the main street, the orc leader leading the group had already seen the silhouette of the gate against the pitch-black night sky.

Seeing this, he roared again, urging his subordinates to speed up.

Once they opened that gate, their orc army could eliminate all the two-legged sheep inside the city.

"Green-skinned monsters, if you want to open the gate, have you asked my Marquis Marquis Aosiding family army?"

But just then, dozens of meters ahead, a large mass of dark shadows suddenly surged out from both sides.

Among these shadows, a human youth looked at them with excitement and mockery on his face.

Mockery toward enemies, I understand; that is appropriate.

But the excitement in your gaze toward us—what is that?

Since when do humans feel excitement when seeing our orc warriors?

"Roar! Damn humans, you seek death! Do you think you can block us orc warriors?"

The orc leader, instead of being impatient, became enraged.

He did not believe this group of humans could block him.

On the contrary, their presumptuous behavior made them feel insulted.

"Is that so? Green-skinned monsters, you are too confident. With our Marquis Marquis Aosiding family army here, none of you will get near the gate tonight!"

Crash!

Crash!

As Adams finished speaking, even more soldiers charged out from both sides of the road.

Furthermore, carriages were positioned directly in front of these soldiers, blocking the road.

These carriages could not only serve as obstacles to block but also greatly restrict the space for subsequent orc combat.

Of course, besides this, atop the surrounding buildings, numerous longbowmen and spearmen appeared, directly surrounding the main street.

"This..." Now, the orc leader leading the group finally realized that this unit seemed different from those they had encountered before.

They had actually made full preparations in advance.

Could it be that they knew about our actions beforehand?

"How about it, green-skinned monsters? Surrender now, and I might spare your lives; otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

The orc leader naturally would not surrender; instead, his ferocity erupted completely.

"Roar! Orc warriors, charge and kill!"

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The orc warriors roared in unison, then charged forward.

"Marquis Marquis Aosiding family warriors, fight!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

In the next moment, the Marquis Marquis Aosiding family also began their attack.

Instantly, fierce combat erupted in the area less than five hundred meters from the city gate.

Although the orcs' combat power was indeed strong, the Marquis Marquis Aosiding family had made preparations in advance.

Using carriages and debris as walls and the surrounding buildings as platforms, they suppressed the orcs.

The orcs possessed immense combat power but were restricted everywhere; indeed, they could not break through the Marquis Marquis Aosiding family's defense.

And their mission was to open the city gates quickly, relying on the element of surprise in combat.

Now that they were entangled here by the Marquis Marquis Aosiding family, they had essentially already lost.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Adams' mouth almost curled up to the sky.

Because as long as they delayed for another ten or twenty minutes, even if they did not kill many enemies, they would still secure the merit.

"My posture when shouting just now must have been quite cool, right? By the way, the tone I used just now was imitating Gervas' words from last time at sea; it should have sounded quite similar, right..."

"Your Majesty, the Beast King! Bad news!"

"What happened? Hasn't Giltar opened the gate yet? Have they not yet reached the Lindongcheng city gate?"

"Your Majesty, according to the report from the Bloodthorn Bat Knights, Leader Giltar and his group were originally proceeding smoothly and were about to reach the Lindongcheng city gate!"

But for some reason, when they were still four or five hundred meters from the gate, a human army blocked their path.

This human army was strong enough to hold back Chief Giltar and his men, preventing them from advancing further!

Damn it! How could this happen! The Beast King erupted in fury.

This plan had been meticulously crafted by him for a long time.

He had even accounted for the possibility of military units intercepting them.

But with three thousand beast tribe warriors, if they moved fast enough, failure was virtually impossible.

Moreover, unless the elite human force exceeded five or six thousand soldiers, they could never stop them.

This situation now was clearly extremely abnormal.

Sound the Blood Oath Horn! Tell Giltar and his men to complete the plan and open the gate at all costs—or face their entire families reduced to slaves!

The surrounding beast tribe chieftains instantly felt a chill in their hearts.

To be reduced to slaves meant anyone could do whatever they wanted to them.

Their status would be barely higher than that of two-legged sheep servants.

To fall from a lofty chieftain to standing alongside two-legged sheep was far more painful than death itself.

Especially since their families would be dragged into it.

Yes, Your Majesty!

Oooh-ooh-ooh!

The loud blast of the horn quickly reached inside the city.

Upon hearing this horn, every beast warrior in battle—whether Giltar himself or the other beast warriors—paled instantly.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Everyone, charge forward!

In truth, Giltar didn't need to shout—the other beast warriors understood the meaning of the horn.

So, anyone who didn't want to endanger their family had to give everything they had.

As the beast warriors fought desperately, the battle, which had been tilting toward the Marquis Marquis Aosiding family, suddenly showed signs of reversal.

Damn it! Why are these bastards suddenly fighting so fiercely?

Adam was startled by this sudden turn of events.

If he hadn't pre-positioned carts and debris as barriers,

Even this single surge from the beast warriors might have shattered the Marquis Marquis Aosiding family's defense line.

All Marquis Marquis Aosiding family warriors, hold firm! Just a little longer—Commander-in-Chief's reinforcements will surely arrive! Adam didn't dare delay, immediately urging his soldiers.

And indeed, that was exactly what happened.

Ha! Marquis Marquis Aosiding boy, don't worry—I'm here!

At this moment, the Commander-in-Chief arrived overhead, riding a Magic Swift Eagle.

Of course, alongside the Commander-in-Chief, Duke Hernand, Duke Lieshi, and his father, Hou Jue, had also arrived.
