"Prepare to attack!"
"Grab the rope!"
"Hurry up! Pull it forward! You lazy bastards! "
The angry roars of the Orcs rose one after another, and the huge siege ladder was slowly pulled up. The hundreds of siege weapons, including the catapults, did not have lubricated bearings, so when they moved through the forest full of dead branches, everyone could only hear the creaking sound of the ladder.
It could not be helped. Although they had the blueprints and had learned to improve the craftsmanship during the siege, a race that had almost no industrial foundation could only build something like this in a short period of time. Many of the trebuchets even lost their wheels or broke their bearings during their advance, causing a group of temporary engineers to hastily repair the damage.
But the two warlords now understood that this was not something that could be changed in a short period of time. They had all their eyes on the old, dilapidated city wall two kilometers away.
We must take it down!
The two warlords, Rachael and Duda, were not willing to be second to others. Although the two had reached an agreement to coordinate the attack, they both longed to be the sole chief of the entire tribe.
As for Sauron? From the information reported by the fortress, this guy had actually led his troops into the Kingdom of Karen. In the eyes of the two warlords, Sauron's actions were obviously out of his mind. But thinking that Sauron's elite troops were finally on the road to death, Rachael and Duda could sleep at night with peace of mind.
At this time, the two warlords did not travel in the same direction. They had agreed on a time to attack from the east and south of Elsen City. After all, both of them were tribal chiefs, and the troops they brought would only listen to one of them. It would not be good to force them together.
The troops began to move slowly. A small number of Wolf Riders were in front as scouts, and more than ten thousand infantry followed closely behind. The logistics team was stationed a few kilometers outside the city, constantly transporting supplies. It was obvious that there were no signs of attacks on the other fortresses in Efta these few days. The fortress that the orcs had conquered had become their fortified base, and they were able to hold on to it steadily.
All the Orcs now had a consensus: as long as Elsen City was taken, the Orcs could use it as a stronghold and begin to break the human defense line one by one!
But just as these Orcs were advancing with excitement, someone suddenly pointed to the sky. "Hey? That big rock seems to be moving — "
"Are you seeing things? That thing hasn't moved since the first day I saw it. "
"It's true, I'm not lying to you … He really moved! Look! It seems like they're all moving towards us! "
The forest outside Elsen City was relatively sparse. Everyone could see the dilapidated and withered appearance of the city wall. Shadows swayed on the wall, but at a glance, they knew that there were not many defenders. But at this moment, the Orcs were clearly more concerned about the Floating-Space Towers that were floating in the sky. The naive Orcs raised their heads and pointed, but they had no idea what it meant.
Elsen City had a total of 18 Floating-Space Towers. At this time, except for the central Floating-Space Tower, which was still more than 400 meters high in the middle of the city, the other 17 small Floating-Space Towers had formed an array and were suspended 200 meters high, facing the southeast and southeast of the city.
In other words, they were now aimed at the approaching Orc troops.
At the same time, in the central core area of the Pasha Magic Tower, Camilla lowered her head to look at the magic map that appeared in front of her. She gently tapped her finger and activated the attack mode of all the floating towers.
"The enemy is estimated to have 13,000 people. Although it is a little less than expected, it is enough to complete the task he gave me …"
This central control area could instantly control the movement of the Floating-Space Tower and the current energy release mode. After activating the "attack mode", Camilla hesitated for a moment, then firmly reached out to the center of the magic circle and issued the "attack" command with the authority of the "Guardian"!
"Whoosh —"
A series of explosions came from outside the tower. Camilla did not observe the damage of the Orcs at this time. Instead, her eyes were fixed on the magic circle that had instantly dimmed. She waved her hands and quickly replaced the new Jingle with a spell. The depleted Jingle Stones bounced off and fell to the ground with a crisp jingle.
Roddy always said that war was' burning money '. In the past, Camilla had thought that the amount of silver coins needed to forge weapons was already an astronomical figure. However, when compared to the' concentrated attack ', which required more than 600 rechargeable crystals, it was really a small number.
"If we attack three times, the Jingle Stones that we have painstakingly accumulated will be used up again …"
Camilla pursed her lips, but her eyes were still calmly looking at the "projection" magic circle used to observe the enemy. And with this look, she finally gasped in shock …
Because in the blink of an eye, the Orcs' battle formation had become purgatory on earth.
Without any warning, magic attacks fell from the sky. Each Floating-Space Tower used the energy of 30 Jingle Stones as the benchmark to carry out carpet bombing with "Arcane Missiles."
The power of "Arcane Missiles" was neither too strong nor too weak. Because it was a pure energy attack spell, the power of the explosion was much stronger than the arrows of ordinary soldiers. At the same time, it had the impact of the explosion sputtering damage. But when facing the knights wearing plate armor, it could not kill them in one shot. To kill a heavy-armored target, at least three "Arcane Impact" would be enough.
But now, the total number of "Arcane Missiles" released by the Floating-Space Tower in a round of coverage attack was more than 13,000 …
This spell was specially developed by Roddy to deal with the enemies that were attacking the city. In the era of cold weapons, a dense battle formation was simply the most suitable target. So when these "Arcane Missiles" poured down, the entire Orc army was completely smashed into meat paste by the impact of the explosion.
There was no need for a second attack.
The explosion was mainly concentrated in the area of the siege troops and the infantry phalanx. The troops that did not have any armor to begin with had no time to dodge, and were bombarded into pieces by the attack falling from the sky. Arms, legs, flesh and intestines flew all over the sky, and it was almost like a rain of blood!
The siege weapons were all blown into sawdust, and even the engineers standing next to them became fertilizer for the forest. Also flattened were the trees that were dozens of meters tall … More than three square kilometers of ground seemed to have been plowed by "Arcane Missiles." As far as the eye could see, there was only blood everywhere.
This kind of brutal fighting method directly stunned the Orc troops.
The patrolling Wolf Riders at the front escaped the disaster because they were not in the attack range, but when they looked back, they did not even know where they should go next.
The two Orc troops of Wolf Riders were spared because they followed behind the troops. More than 3,000 of them panicked and wanted to escape, but they were covered by the accurate attacks from the Central Floating-Space Tower. The "No.53" cannonball that Roddy personally tested exploded separately. The explosive cannonball that could flatten a village directly blew the group of Wolf Riders away.
With one cannonball on each side, not to mention how many Orcs were killed by the two Wolf Riders, the wolves were basically killed by the impact of the explosion!
In order to save energy, the originally maintained "Illusion Enchantment" had been turned off at this time. The only Wolf Riders on the entire battlefield that did not suffer from the attack now saw the true appearance of the city wall. What made them stare was that the city gate of Elsen City was actually open!
Not only that, there were patches of well-grown farmlands outside the city gate, and there were even newly built village buildings …
This … Is this really preparing for war?
They did not have much time to think, because the opened city gate had already been opened, more than a thousand cavalry troops had already rushed out. From the shining silver armor, they could tell that this was a heavy cavalry troop, but when they ran, the speed of the enemy was even faster than a normal light cavalry troop!
Seeing that the enemy was surging over aggressively, the Wolf Riders immediately turned around and ran. They added up to only a few dozen people, how could they be a match for this kind of troops?
But not long after they turned around and ran, they completely collapsed. All they could see was the dismembered corpses of the main force after they were bombarded. Perhaps it was nothing if there were ten or a hundred of them, but when they saw the "bloody path" of more than 6,000 people, they could not bear it anymore and stopped one by one.
Some Orcs were so frightened that they fell from their wolves, and some knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. Obviously, to the Orcs, what was scary was not the enemy, but the fact that they did not know how they died.
In this attack, most of the 1,000 Orcs who were the Warlord's personal guards survived. After all, they were the strongest Orc warriors on the Nehemia Plain. Even if they only wore leather armor, they still relied on their strong physiques to withstand the attack of the "Arcane Missiles". But Warlord Duda's luck was not so good. Coincidentally, he was hit in the chest by an Arcane Missile and was sent flying five or six meters away, completely unconscious. On the other side, Warlord Rakul was much luckier, only having his cheek scratched by a flying pebble.
But looking at the ruins of the battlefield, he could not even speak.
The siege equipment that he had prepared for more than ten days was destroyed just like that?
A troop of more than 10,000 people was destroyed just like that?
The power that he had painstakingly built up was blown to pieces just like that?
Warlord Rakul, who had been full of energy and complacency, sat paralyzed on his wolf as if his soul had been sucked out of his body. No matter how Sodelor's cavalry approached, he remained indifferent …
With his heart dead, there was no way to fight this battle.
But the adjutant and personal guards instinctively escorted the Warlord to cover the retreat. Even the unconscious Warlord Duda was carried by his loyal subordinates on his wolf as they quickly gathered the remaining troops and fled the battlefield.
