The flints dragged red tails as they smashed into the ice. Many of them were detonated in midair by the fireballs that flew out from below. A few of the flints that broke through the interception and landed on the ice barrier, instantly smashing a large hole in the thick ice barrier and killing a large number of knights.
Most of the orcs' arrows could not break through the ice barrier, so they started to throw boulders when the enemy got closer.
Although the orcs were strong, they were not trebuchets. The boulders they threw were blocked by the ice barrier, and had little effect.
With the magic casters joining the battle, the Utopia Tribe, who had the advantage of terrain, fell into a passive position.
The ramp was connected to the bottom of the city wall, and the ground below the city wall was still rising. Obviously, the earth magic caster wanted to connect the ramp directly to the top of the city wall so that the knights could charge up the city wall and take it down at a very low cost.
Once the city wall was breached, the Utopia Tribe would be breached too.
The orcs on the city wall all looked pale. This was the first time they had faced the Roth Empire's official army.
No one would have thought that the enemy's vanguard of only 3,000 people would make the Utopia Tribe so helpless and pathetic.
The difference in power and strategy was magnified infinitely at this moment.
The vanguard knights advanced steadily. When they were about 200 meters away from the city wall, the ice barrier suddenly disappeared, and turned into a translucent light barrier.
Immediately after, 1,000 archers drew their bows and shot in the direction of the Utopia Tribe.
A rain of arrows rained down on the orcs below the city wall.
"Shield!"
Haga roared angrily.
The orcs all picked up the vine shields beside them.
Tuk, tuk, tuk!
The arrows landed on the vine shields. Many of them went through the thin vine shields and landed on the orcs' bodies. Screams and groans could be heard from time to time.
Taking advantage of the fact that the orcs were busy defending and could not react, the 1,000 knights at the front suddenly sped up and galloped up the slope. The ground below the city wall was rising steadily, and was about to connect to the top of the city wall.
Swish!
Right at this moment, an arrow flew through the crowd of knights and brushed past an archer's ear. It landed on the neck of the earth magic caster who was chanting loudly with his wand raised.
The terrifying force pulled him off his horse and nailed him to the slope.
The slope was only two meters away from the city wall, and could not be raised any further.
The knights who were charging the fastest had already reached the city wall.
"Draw your swords! Kill him! "
Haga threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, pulled out a large saber that was standing beside him, and chopped off the head of the knight who was charging at the front.
The orcs also threw away the shields in their hands, picked up their weapons, and began to kill the knights that had rushed to the bottom of the city wall.
The two-meter-tall city wall was no longer considered a high wall. A few warhorses and corpses could be pieced together to form a step that was large enough to mount a horse.
This offensive and defensive battle began to enter the most tragic phase of hand-to-hand combat.
The Magicians' incantations rang in their ears. Fireballs and icicles rained down on the tribe, killing many Orcs who couldn't dodge in time.
Haga and Habeng were like two Gods of Slaughter, standing on top of the city wall with broadswords in their hands, stepping on a pile of dead knights.
"Second echelon, move out and take down this small tribe. We've already wasted too much time here." Charlie coldly looked at the tragic situation on the hillside and ordered.
The 3,000 knights charged up the hill again under the lead of a general to assist the vanguard in taking down the Utto tribe.
Although the resistance in this small town was greater than they had expected, this was still a small tribe without any powerhouses guarding it. It was still vulnerable in front of the empire's powerful army. Charlie flipped through the map in his hands, and began to consider the route and target of their next march.
The Utto tribe was in chaos now. The houses were set ablaze by magic fireballs. The orcs tried their best to run toward the city wall while dodging the fireballs and icicles raining down from the sky, and engaged in a life-and-death battle with the knights who had rushed into the tribe.
More than half of the city wall had been taken down. Only Haga and Habeng were still surrounded by some orc warriors who were fighting a bloody battle. All of them were stained with blood, and the corpses of their tribesmen lay beside them.
Despair had already spread. All the orcs knew that they couldn't hold on for much longer. What awaited them was the slaughter of the entire tribe.
The Roth Empire's knights were too powerful, and the Utto tribe was no match for them.
They didn't know where the reinforcements were, and no one could save them.
The Roth Empire's cavalrymen also saw that victory was within their grasp. Although this tribe was small, they were far more bloodthirsty than the previous tribes. Even though they were completely outmatched, none of the orcs backed down, and made them suffer a lot.
Habeng sent a knight flying with his saber, and came to Haga's side. "Brother, bring your men and retreat from the back. I'll hold them off!"
"I'll bring up the rear. You lead your men and retreat. Wait for me." Haga raised his saber to block a knight's sword that was coming at Habeng. His arm was cut by another knight.
"I'm not leaving!" Habeng cut off that knight's arm with his saber. He glared at Haga with bloodshot eyes. How could he escape now? He was risking his life to bring up the rear.
"Let's preserve the Utto tribe. We can't go extinct like this." Haga pushed Habeng behind him with force, and charged toward the general who was commanding the battle with his saber.
"Brother!"
The general also saw Haga. He pointed his sword at Haga, and said loudly, "Kill that leader, and you'll be rewarded handsomely!"
The surrounding knights stared at Haga with bloodshot eyes. They all charged at him with their swords. This was a moving box of gold!
Everyone knew that the battle would be over once the orc leader was killed.
"For the tribe!"
Haga roared, and charged forward with his saber in both hands.
"For the tribe!"
All the orcs roared in unison. They attacked the knights one last time with bloodshot eyes.
Habeng turned and jumped off the city wall. He ran toward the back of the tribe with tears in his eyes. He wanted to bring the children away and preserve the last spark of the Utto tribe.
Boom!
Right at this moment, a sudden clap of thunder came from the horizon.
A bolt of silver lightning streaked across the sky, and arrived in front of the Utto tribe in the blink of an eye. It crashed into the crowd of knights.
There was a deafening explosion, and lightning shot in all directions. Everything within a 10-meter radius was reduced to ashes.
All the people and horses within a 10-meter radius were paralyzed by the electric shock.
Up and down the hill, the horses were in a frenzy. Everyone was thrown off their feet, and it was chaos.
The lightning gradually dissipated, and in the center stood a heavy sword glowing with lightning.
"The Tian Du Sword!"
A knight exclaimed.
Awooo!
Right at this moment, a long howl came from the sky.
A purple-striped griffin descended from the sky and stopped in the air above the Utto tribe.
On top of the Lion Vulture, there was a man wearing silver soft armor.
That man had finally arrived …
