"What's the exact situation in the Twilight Forest now?"
Meg asked Connie and Rex after they left the city lord's castle.
"The Roth Empire's 200,000-strong northwestern allied army has split into six groups and launched an attack on the Twilight Forest. All the tribes along the border have fallen, and they have massacred all the tribes that they conquered," Rex said with a grave expression.
"Did you kill everyone?" Meg's face darkened when he heard that. This kind of behavior was even worse than during the racial war.
He could not understand why Andre would do that. Killing those innocent orcs would only stir up conflict and the orcs' bloodthirst. It would also arouse the disgust of the other races. There was no benefit in doing so.
"Yes." Rex nodded. He was also shocked when he received the news. "Now, all the orc tribes are fighting for themselves. They are vulnerable in front of the Roth Empire's army. We have to rush back as soon as possible and recruit all the tribes to resist the Roth Empire's invasion."
"Lantisde and I will help you." Meg glanced at Dexter, who had followed him out, and whistled. Ah Zi appeared in the sky, circled once, and landed in front of him.
"I will go to the Twilight Forest to take a look. I can help you stop the allied army." Meg jumped onto the griffin's back, and said to Connie, "Before the allied army of the Peace Alliance arrives, you orcs will have to hold on yourselves."
…
The ground was shaking slightly. This was caused by tens of thousands of cavalrymen marching together.
The sound of iron hooves stomping on the ground transmitted a terrifying pressure to the small tribe on the mountain.
The joy of wiping out the ironback eagles had gradually faded. Hearing the sound of iron hooves approaching from afar, the orcs of the Crow Tribe became more and more serious.
However, there was almost no fear on their faces.
Haga and Habeng were like two small mountains standing on the city wall, looking down at the Roth Empire's cavalrymen who were marching towards the Crow Tribe.
The canyon was long and narrow, and could only allow three or four riders to ride side by side. The road to the Crow Tribe was even more winding and rugged. It was difficult to even walk on horseback, let alone charge.
This terrain was a nightmare for the attackers, but for the defenders, it was a natural barrier.
"Good heavens, they are really coming for our tribe. There are at least twenty to thirty thousand cavalrymen here. These sons of b * tches really don't underestimate us at all." Habeng spat out a mouthful of saliva and said somewhat angrily.
"From the moment we killed one of their flying groups, this matter can no longer be settled." Haga reached out to help him tidy up his armor, then patted him heavily on the shoulder. He smiled and said, "Are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid." "It's just a pity. I was going to go to Chaos City and buy a few more roujiamos from Boss Mag in the next few days."
"When this battle is over, I'll take you out to eat." Haga also laughed.
"Alright." Habeng nodded as he looked down at the Roth Empire's cavalrymen in the valley, and suddenly felt less of a headache.
The Roth Empire's cavalrymen quickly gathered at the foot of the mountain. Their formation was a safe distance away from the Crow Tribe. Standing on the mountain, they could clearly see that the Crow Tribe's cavalrymen were gathering quickly, but they could not do much damage to them.
On the city wall, the archers and javelin throwers were ready. Behind them were the strongmen who were responsible for throwing stones.
The Crow Tribe did not have any magic casters. Their terrain advantage and strength were their greatest assets.
After an hour of confrontation, the assembled Roth Empire's army charged towards the Crow Tribe.
The cavalrymen led the charge, followed by the archers in formation. More than ten magic casters in black robes followed closely behind. The 3,000-strong vanguard advanced quickly up the mountain.
"We have to get rid of those magic casters first." Haga looked at the magic casters in black robes at the back of the army with a grave expression.
From the badges on their chests, there was one 8th-tier magic caster and two 7th-tier magic casters. The rest of the magic casters were between the 5th-tier and the 4th-tier.
On the battlefield, a magic caster's greatest use was not their ability to kill a single person, but to use magic to support the army's movements and influence the entire battle situation.
The Roth Empire's army was powerful because they made magic casters a very important part of their military system, and they kept proving that this system was correct in actual battles.
The cavalrymen charged, and a 7th-tier magic caster at the back raised his magic wand and began to cast a spell.
The originally rugged mountain path began to twist and change. The ground shook, and a slope that was more than 10 meters wide appeared and quickly led to the Crow Tribe.
The cavalrymen, who were struggling to advance, suddenly sped up and charged up the mountain along the straight slope.
"Why did the path change?!"
"It's an earth-type magic caster!"
The orcs on the city wall were shocked. The rugged mountain path that could have stopped the enemy from going up the mountain had become a smooth path that led straight to the bottom of the city wall. It was big enough for six cavalrymen to charge side by side.
"Don't panic. Listen to my orders!" Haga shouted. "Archers, get ready!"
After the panic subsided, the orc archers nocked their bows and aimed at the sky.
"Release the arrows!"
Following Haga's order, hundreds of arrows flew out from the city wall and inside the city, drawing a beautiful parabola as they fell towards the charging cavalrymen.
However, just as the rain of arrows was about to land on the cavalrymen's heads, an ice barrier appeared above the cavalrymen's heads.
Tuk, tuk, tuk!
The arrows made a series of sounds as they hit the ice. Ice shards flew everywhere, but they could not break through the ice barrier.
A huge ice block floated above the cavalrymen's heads, and they continued to charge up the mountain.
The only 8th-tier magic caster in the magic caster's team was reciting a spell silently. The tip of his magic wand shone faintly as he looked up the mountain with a mocking gaze.
"The arrows have been blocked!" The orcs' faces changed when they saw this. This was their most effective way to kill, but it was blocked by a magic caster's spell.
Habeng pulled out his big knife, and said angrily, "These cunning fellows only dare to hide in the back. I'll kill them!"
Haga reached out to stop Habeng, and ordered, "Javelins, shoot!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Hundreds of javelins that were several meters long were thrown out by the strong orcs. The sharp tips of the javelins glinted coldly under the sunlight. The orcs' powerful strength gave these javelins terrifying speed.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The javelins fell on the ice block with muffled sounds. The sharp tips of the javelins pierced through the ice block, but most of them were stuck in the ice block, and did not cause any damage to the cavalrymen below.
However, dozens of javelins pierced through the ice block, nailing the cavalrymen and their horses to the mountain path.
Dozens of holes of various sizes appeared on the ice block, but it was still firmly suspended in the air above the cavalrymen.
"Catapults, fire!"
"Catapults, get ready!"
"Children and elderly, get into the cellar. Everyone else, prepare for battle!"
Haga calmly gave one order after another, and at the same time, he aimed his bow at the 8th-tier magic caster.
