" After all these years as partners, Lu Jang had always trusted Xiaoan's judgment regarding tactical strategies.

Just now he had merely expressed his thoughts and opinions as usual.

As the lord of Iron Wall City, Zhao had even fewer objections given the current situation.

I don't understand warfare very well, so I will follow the opinions of the generals.

Yes, the retreat of the people of Iron Wall City will require much effort from you, Lord Zhao.

As he spoke, Ziaoan cuped his hands toward Zhao Tao, who was sitting beside him.

It is my duty, and we have known each other for so many years.

There is no need for such politeness, General.

After saying this, Zhao Tao directly stood up.

There will be many things to do for this retreat, so I will take my leave first.

All right, I will allocate some personnel from the army to assist you in maintaining order to avoid chaos with too many people.

As he spoke, Lu Jang and Zhao, he also stood up in succession after both sides reached a consensus.

It would be a lie to say that the news would have no impact.

But Xiao Pan and Lu Jang had been the defenders of Iron Wall City for so many years and were undoubtedly trusted and loved by the people.

This action quickly gained the understanding of the citizens who all cooperated exceptionally well.

Before nightfall, the entire population had already packed up and was ready to depart.

escorted by several groups of soldiers retreating through the city gate on the other side of Iron Wall City.

In chapter chapter 342, Xiao Pan's double-edged sword at the same time on the other side at Iron Wall City, Leuia who had just found a place to camp and rest obviously had no idea what was happening.

He was feeling quite anxious because the enemy's fire had forced him to retreat at a critical moment.

After all, even orcs are not invulnerable.

They can die when their time comes.

However, as an experienced warrior at the bronze level, Li Yu and Jia was quite clear in his thoughts.

The enemy could temporarily hold him back, but that didn't mean they could defeat him.

This was two different matters.

When it came to a direct confrontation, Li Yuia had full confidence in the combat power of his orc army.

He wanted to see how long the enemy's fire could burn.

Just as Leu and Jia was thinking this, a werewolf guard running overdow him with cold water.

Great Chief.

After a brief whisper among his fellow warriors, Leuia was immediately alarmed.

Take me there quickly.

Following the werewolf guard to the outside of the military doctor's tent, he saw the elephant man lying outside the tent, covered in countless arrow wounds.

The most severe ones were undoubtedly inflicted by the enemy's heavy crossbow bolts.

At this moment, however, that was not the main point.

The key was that the elephant man was lying there almost completely motionless and if not for the faint signs of breathing, Liu and Jia would have suspected it was dead.

Quickly grabbing an arrow pulled from the elephant man, the werewolf's keen sense of smell detected a foul stench mixed with blood.

Logic, he snapped the arrow in half and his face turned ashen.

Recalling the previous battle when the enemy archers suddenly went wild with their arrows, he thought they were panicking.

Now it was clear that the enemy's intentions were malicious.

These bastards actually soaked the arrow heads in excrement.

The feces contained a large number of bacteria and parasites.

When an arrow head tainted with feces pierced a soldier's body, coming into direct contact with their blood.

The consequences were unimaginable.

The enemy wanted to spread disease among his orc army.

After a surge of rage, Liuia felt an overwhelming urgency.

How many soldiers in his orc army had been struck by arrows during that siege? With that thought, Liu and Jia shouted, "Quick, tell all soldiers to clean their wounds.

Hurry.

" Indeed, this was another double-edged sword wielded by Xiaoan.

Compared to the fire outside the city walls, this tactic was one he was even more reluctant to use.

It wasn't because he lacked morals, but because once a disease spread, it would be beyond human control.

If it reached them, they would all suffer together.

However, this time Ziao ban miscalculated.

Ultimately, the reason lay not with him, having never fought against orc civilization before, he had no understanding of their characteristics.

Not even logic standing there would have made a difference.

There are gains and losses.

Orcs possess a physical advantage far beyond that of ordinary humans.

Every orc by nature doesn't need training.

Their basic physique is significantly stronger than that of humans.

A race like the Elephant Man is even more exaggerated in strength.

A single blow against the city walls could be as destructive as siege engines.

If the two armies clash head-on, the Orc civilization's army would likely hold an overwhelming advantage.

But correspondingly, this civilization must also have its flaws.

One of those flaws is relatively poor hygiene.

If these characteristics were assigned a numerical value, then hygiene would surely be a negative number for orc civilization.

In other words, epidemics frequently broke out within orc civilization.

And orcs living in such environments undoubtedly developed strong antibodies against various viruses and bacteria.

This doesn't mean these antibodies make them completely immune to diseases.

But orcs with these antibodies have a much lower chance of contracting diseases compared to ordinary humans.

Such matters are beyond even logic's knowledge.

Thus, Xiaoan's double-edged sword might have had a significant effect on human armies, but it would be considerably less effective against orc armies.

After repeatedly instructing the old Foxman military doctor accompanying them to save the elephant man's life, a grim-faced Leuia quickly left the military doctor's tent.

Although orcs have antibodies against diseases, Leuenia's werewolf body still harbored a modern human soul.

Hearing words like epidemic and plague inevitably made him overly anxious.

He quickly turned to the werewolf guar beside him and said, "Go check every corner of the camp.

If any soldiers are found to be ill, isolate them immediately to prevent the spread of disease.

" After giving these orders, Liujia breathed a sigh of relief and bit down hard on his fangs.

The two rows of fangs clashed together, making a crackling sound, and his black wolf face gradually turned sinister and terrifying.

Logic, I will definitely settle this score with you.

As night fell, the walls of Iron Wall City were ablaze with light.

The soldiers, who had just experienced a siege battle during the day, remained alert during their night watch without any hint of relaxation.

Tonight, the moon was hidden.

Thick clouds completely shrouded the sky.

below the sky.

Aside from the flickering flames on the city walls, the hills outside the city were so dark that one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face, almost blending into the night.

However, at that moment, a soldier standing on the wall seemed to see something moving in the darkness, instinctively rubbing his eyes.

He called out to his comrades beside him, "Hey, did you guys just see?" Before he could finish, a merciless reign of arrows swept over the walls of Iron Wall City, and the speaking soldier was instantly struck by several arrows and fell dead.

Watching his comrades fall to the ground, one luckier soldier, who wasn't hit in a vital spot fell on the wall, enduring the pain and shouting, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The desperate cries shattered the night's silence.

Not far from the city wall, Xiao Pan, who had not fully fallen asleep, was jolted awake by the distant shouts.

Enemy attack at night.

Without having time to think, Ziao Pan quickly dawned his armor and rushed outside.

Clearly, he was not the only one who heard the shout.

Many soldiers who had also awake and grabbed their weapons and ran out.

Ring the alarm.

All awake personnel head straight to the city wall.

Just as Xiaoan finished speaking, several soldiers following his orders rushed toward the wall and fell to the ground amidst horrified screams.

In the pitch black night, pairs of green eyes glowed ominously, appearing both eerie and terrifying.

Those monsters have broken in.

Chapter 343.

Close combat.

Looking at those pairs of glowing green eyes, Xiaoan was startled for a moment, but he quickly reacted and almost slapped himself.

He had never encountered such monsters before, but he had certainly dealt with wild beasts.
