Chapter 208 Going deeper
"Kill!"
As the soldiers charged, an extraordinary knight mixed in with the ordinary soldiers successfully approached the city wall, and relying on his strong personal strength, he tore a hole in the city wall.
The moment the hole was torn open, countless silent and leading legion soldiers rushed into the hole like a tide, constantly expanding the scope of the hole.
After the legion soldiers landed on the city wall in large numbers, it was only a matter of time before they captured the wall.
After seeing the legionnaires killing people on the city wall, the morale of the other soldiers attacking the city was greatly boosted, and they all increased the frequency of their attacks.
Just as the greenskins in the city were anxiously mobilizing their troops, trying to drive away all the soldiers who had landed on the city wall, several extraordinary knights who had reached the city gate seized this opportunity.
Taking advantage of the declining morale of the green-skinned orcs behind the city gate and their urgent deployment to the city wall, several knights looked at each other and began to accumulate strength. Finally, they nodded to each other and bombarded the city gate in front of them together.
"boom!"
The huge impact force instantly blew away the entire city gate. The green-skinned orcs behind the city gate and all kinds of miscellaneous things piled up at the gate were also all blown away. The powerful force directly cleared a piece of open space at the city gate.
"kill!"
After blasting open the city gate, several knights no longer concealed their presence. They raised their swords, shouted, and rushed in at the lead. Around them, soldiers who noticed the city gate was open also kept rushing over.
As the city gates opened, a steady stream of soldiers continued to pour into the city, and the green town before them began to collapse uncontrollably.
Even though there were some greenskin priests mixed in with the greenskin orcs, casting berserk spells everywhere in an attempt to reverse the situation, the overall corrupt situation could not be changed by just a few berserk spells.
Whether it is the frenzied green-skinned orcs or the green-skinned priests, they will lose their will to fight, and the collapsed green-skinned orcs will flee.
After entering the city, except for the legion soldiers of Roland's headquarters who still remembered Roland's orders, did not run around, quickly took over the city walls, and sent people to control various important buildings and transportation hubs in the town, the other soldiers, including those extraordinary knights, were not so obedient.
Faced with the defeated green-skinned orcs, they were all bloodthirsty and ignored Roland's previous orders. They picked up their weapons and started killing madly.
Roland did not interfere in this matter. With the support of the legionnaires, the situation could not get any worse.
Moreover, Roland was going to massacre the city anyway, so there wouldn't be much difference whether the legion soldiers did it in an orderly manner or in a chaotic manner, hacking and killing people everywhere.
Of course, the most important point is that in this situation, with Roland's current control over these soldiers, even if he asked them to stop, few would be willing to listen.
Instead of doing these thankless tasks, it would be better to let them vent their anger on the Green Tide as they have a blood feud with them.
As for the buildings in the city, most of them were built by the green-skinned orcs themselves. Not only are their distribution and construction messy, but they are also not suitable for use by the Locke Resistance. So they were destroyed.
Therefore, Roland, standing on the city wall, just calmly watched the chaos in the city. Apart from occasionally taking action and killing some green-skinned extraordinary people who were hiding in the corners and trying to attack by surprise, Roland did nothing.
The same was true for the legionnaires under his command. Under Roland's orders, they only occupied the key areas that Roland asked them to occupy. At the same time, they maintained order in the chaos in the city to prevent ordinary soldiers who were blood-thirsty from slashing their comrades with their knives.
Unless the green-skinned orcs come to them themselves, they will not take the initiative to attack, but will only watch coldly as ordinary soldiers chase and slaughter the green-skinned orcs.
The chaos lasted for a full six or seven hours, until almost all the green-skinned orcs in the city were slaughtered and more than 90% of the buildings were destroyed. Only then did the army, which was fanatically seeking revenge, calm down again.
After the army calmed down again, the legionnaires passed Roland's order to them. After receiving the order, they withdrew from the city one by one and returned to the camp outside the city.
After all the soldiers were withdrawn from the city, Roland led the legion soldiers to conduct another carpet sweep of the city, capturing and killing the green-skinned orcs who had managed to escape the chaos in the city.
After repeatedly confirming that there was no living green-skinned orc in the city, Roland led the legion soldiers back to the camp outside the city and sent some soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
After resting for a night in the camp outside the city, the army, under Roland's command, marched deeper into the city. Behind them, mountains of greenskin corpses were burning continuously.
Roland's siege speed was relatively fast, and they were the second team among Locke's resistance forces to break through the city, second only to the main force led by Locke.
It’s not that the armies in other routes are not good, but that their configuration is a bit poor. They only have low-level combat forces and high-level combat forces. Even if the high-level combat forces perform well and attack the city walls or blast open the city gates, it is difficult to rely on the low-level combat forces to resist the counterattack of the green-skinned orcs in the city. They often rush in, and then when a few extraordinary knights have no physical strength left, they are driven out again by the continuous green-skinned orcs.
Unlike Roland, they do not have a large number of legionnaires that they can mobilize. After the high-level combat power has torn open a gap, they can rely on the legionnaires' hard power to directly crush the counterattack of the green-skinned orcs and completely destroy their will to resist.
Therefore, when Roland was advancing deeper into the city, the other groups were still fighting with the green-skinned orcs in the city.
12 month 5 number.
Roland captured three cities in seven days, clearing all obstacles to the core city of the greenskin warlords and chasing after Locke's main force. Encouraged by Roland, good news came from other armies as well. After several days of hard work, they also successfully captured the first town.
12 month 6 number.
Roland, who was about to head to the core city where the greenskin warlord was stationed, received Locke's latest order, so the army changed direction and began to sweep and eliminate the circle of outer cities around the core city. At the same time, according to Locke's new instructions, they intercepted and sniped all greenskin troops that tried to support the greenskin warlord.
12 month 16 number.
In just ten days, Roland's army divided into groups and won battle after battle along the way, capturing seventeen towns in a row and annihilating two greenskin armies that tried to support the greenskin warlord.
