The thief thinks Tang Jiumin is really a strange guy.
They just need to survive the battle now, and the news of the orc siege won't do much for them at all.
"Only for information? It seems that you are not a foreigner in our country. Now that you have said so, I will make this deal."
The thief told Tang Jiumin: "You should know that here, Alto City, is a border city in the north of our empire. It is very close to the territory of the orcs, and there are many opportunities to contact the orcs."
Tang Jiumin asked: "If you say that, it should be normal for the orcs to attack. How can you say they are crazy?"
The thief shook his head slightly, then nodded again.
"There are indeed many attacks by orcs, but generally the orcs will not attack our human cities in this season, because it is only early spring, and the large tracts of land have just been sown, and there is not even a trace of the food that the orcs want to plunder."
"To say they are crazy is to flatter them, they are idiots to the extreme! In this war, even if the orcs can win, what can they gain? Not even hair!"
"However, this attack is indeed crazy enough. They caught the surrounding cities by surprise, and many villages and towns near us outside have been captured."
"Besides, before, the orcs would only surround the city to prevent the lord's army from being rescued and facilitate looting. This time they actually chose to attack the city."
Tang Jiumin heard some hints and asked: "It means that many people did not expect the orcs to suddenly attack the human city? But the question is, is there no defense here?"
Hearing this, the thief sighed heavily, and said, "Once in the past, the orcs would attack suddenly, but they only raided the villages around the city."
"They are not good at siege, especially when faced with city walls that are more than 10 meters high and 20 meters high. They have no experience at all. They usually attack villages and towns and leave after looting. This is the first time in history."
"As you can see from their current siege method, they are simply sending them to their deaths regardless of losses. On flat ground, three human infantry may not be able to kill an orc heavy infantry."
"But the siege equipment of these orcs is primitive and simple. When the heavy infantry climbed up one by one, we prisoners could exchange one with them. This is crazy."
Indeed, what the thief said was right, but it was precisely because of this madness and suddenness that many people were caught off guard.
Tang Jiumin showed a hint of contemplation.
I see.
"No wonder"
"The city lord will suddenly give the opportunity to let the prisoners come out to fight, even at the expense of promising civilian status."
Thinking of this, Tang Jiumin asked again: "How many soldiers are there in the city now?"
The thief spread his hands and replied: "I don't know about this, but there were originally more than 10,000 civilians in the city, but it is said that after the nearby villages and towns were captured by orcs, another 20,000 refugees flooded in."
"About the orc siege, that's about all I know. Do you have anything else to ask?"
"No more. When we gather tomorrow morning, I will be at the last position. You will come over later, we will meet, and then we will defend at the same place. I promise you that I will give you all of your military exploits."
"Okay, then I'll go first."
Tang Jiumin watched the thief leave, but his expression was slightly dignified.
The orcs attacked the city, and things went wrong, and he always felt that things were not simple.
Even in a nightmare, all of this has its own logic, that is, cause and effect.
There must be a reasonable explanation for unreasonable things, and there must be something wrong with this city.
On the other hand, in the city lord's mansion, only the knights have a separate residence, and even ordinary soldiers of the guards cannot have a separate residence alone.
And now, in a knight's room, Chen Qi is snuggling in the arms of the knight who secretly took her away.
The two got bored for a while.
"Honey, it's so kind of you"
"It's just that they really won't find out that I left?"
After Chen Qi was picked up, the next day, she was dazed by the news that the orcs attacked the city again.
She heard that during the attack on the city today, the orc soldiers sent by the orcs became more and more powerful, causing many prisoners to die.
Chen Qi is very fortunate that she has a special power.
The knight was in his arms, full of joy, when he heard Chen Qi's worried question.
The knight said to Chen Qi: "Although the city lord promised to give the prisoners a chance this time, as long as he successfully repels the orcs, he will restore the status of civilians to the prisoners who participated in the battle."
"But, baby, if you think about it carefully, is there such an easy thing? If it could be done easily, the supervisory team would not be allowed to supervise the battle of the prisoners."
"Actually, these prisoners can't survive many people at all. Even if they make it through and can become civilians, there are still a few. Most of them will become corpses on the city wall."
Let the prisoners consume it first, and if the orc soldiers continue to attack and threaten the city, then they will have to send soldiers as a last resort.
"Then" Chen Qi raised her head and looked at the knight with beautiful eyes. She said puzzledly, "What does that have to do with me?"
"Of course there are. You see, the prisoners were all insignificant cannon fodder, and there were fewer of them before they knew it. Do you think the supervisory team will go out of their way to find them?"
Chen Qi suddenly realized.
It turns out that this is the case, then she doesn't have to worry about being discovered by the supervising team.
At night, the darkness was surging from all sides, and some people were not only thinking about the orc attacking the city.
Kari also didn't go out of his way to find a tent near the fire, because after a night, basically a person with no problem in his mind would grab a tent near the fire to keep warm.
Cary did the opposite.
He deliberately went to a place not too far from the fire.
He is following a person, who is not a player, but a local resident of this dungeon world.
The other party lived in the same tent as Kari last night, so Kari discovered some secrets of the other party through yesterday and today.
Zhou Zheng and Li Zhehan also encountered the abandoned camp near the fire.
The two people saw each other, each with black faces.
How could it be him?
"Together?" Li Zhehan asked.
Hearing this, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but look up and look around. Finally, his eyes fell on the guy in front of him again.
"¡¡Together."
Strange, just now they were a group of players walking together, after entering the gate, because there were too many people, they were scattered a lot.
However, now that he is close to the fire, and looking around, Zhou Zheng still doesn't see other players.
What happened to them, why did they all suddenly disappear?
Logically speaking, they should be near the fire by now.
"Get up! Get up immediately! Everyone get up immediately, or the army whip will serve you!"
"Master officer, it's not morning yet"
"Stop rambling, get up!"
"Yes Yes Yes¡¡"
Before dawn, it was only midnight when Tang Jiumin was woken up by the noise outside. He listened carefully and found that soldiers outside were waking up the prisoners one by one.
