The resources in the Desert of Death were not abundant.
The orcs mobilized an army of thirty thousand, and the daily consumption was not a small number.
For this expedition, the Lionheart King Imsh had taken out almost all of his savings. He had taken out all the savings he had obtained from plundering the human kingdom of Iris over the past few decades.
However, as long as the orcs could defeat the elves, then everything would be worth it.
The Elven Forest was rich in resources, and Imosh believed that it would not be a problem to support an army of thirty thousand.
In the past, due to the fear of the human forces, although they had gained sovereignty in name, the orcs did not dare to really go deep into the Elven Forest, which was far away from the Desert of Death.
But if they won this war, and the strength of the true gods of the orcs increased, then there would be no problem.
The contest between the true gods was the essence of the struggle between the major intelligent races in the Segers universe!
The war of faith was just an extension of the struggle between the true gods.
For this attack, the Lionheart King Imosh still had a certain amount of confidence.
As the old enemy of the elves, the orcs had a good understanding of the elves. Although the orcs had almost lost the news of the Elven Forest in the past six months, with his experience, Imosh could also judge the strength of the elves.
He also had some research on the encounter of the Rock Cave tribe, but Imosh believed that the direct cause of the destruction of the Rock Cave tribe was the Black Dragon and the elves' God's Chosen, not the mere thousands of elves with low fighting power!
Even if they could be resurrected!
How could they fight against an army of thirty thousand?
As for the Black Dragon and the God's Chosen, the orcs already had a plan to deal with them!
In this war of faith, the elite army of the orcs came out in full force and had the advantage. Imosh believed that as long as they could defeat them, they would be able to win.
The only thing to worry about was that the mysterious new god might be angry and directly attack the orc army regardless of his identity.
However, that was already a confrontation between the true gods, and it was not something that Imosh could consider.
After the Lionheart King gave the order, the orcs rested on the spot.
They had camped in the Gloom Mountains for a night, and their physical strength was abundant. When the scouts inquired about the news, they could launch a strong attack on the castle.
Three hours of recuperation was more than enough.
The Half-Orc army stopped advancing and rested outside the maximum firing range of the Black Dragon Castle.
At the same time, Lionheart King Imsh also specially ordered the army to spread out their formation and show their strength to the elves in the castle!
He wanted to attack the elves in the castle from the morale first!
After the Orcs began to rest. The players finally got a good look at the enemy.
An army of thirty thousand was far more shocking than an army of three thousand.
In particular, the half-beastmen's physique was almost a little bigger than the elves'. When they gathered together and clustered around ten terrifying giant beasts that looked like they were not to be trifled with, it was even more terrifying.
However, even though the players were shocked by the scene of an army surrounding the city, they were more excited than fearful.
The Lionheart King's careful thoughts did not dampen their morale.
On the contrary, the gamers didn't fear the Orc army. Instead, they became impatient.
"Why did you stop?"
"When are you coming to fight?"
"Hey, we've been waiting for an entire night. Could the Half-Beast be stuck?"
"Sigh … If we don't start now, it'll be dawn in the real world. I still have to go to work at nine."
On the city wall.
Looking at the players' impatient expressions and listening to their complaints, Saintess Alice, as well as some of the native elves who volunteered to serve as logistics support, had a wonderful expression.
The Black Dragon Castle had a teleportation array, so they weren't afraid of the army surrounding the city.
The longer the battle dragged on, the better for the elves. The ones who couldn't afford to waste time were the Orcs who came from afar.
However, compared to the Orcs besieging the city, the chosen ones were more looking forward to the battle between the two sides!
Not only that, their morale was so high that it was almost overflowing. It was as if what was about to happen was not a fierce battle, but a carnival.
The native elves couldn't understand why the chosen ones were looking forward to the battle so much.
Obviously … they were the ones on the defensive!
Alice even had no doubt that if the city gates hadn't been closed by Sir Zero, some chosen ones would have secretly run out of the castle to cause trouble!
Not to mention other things, just from their mentality, these guys … were almost all war maniacs!
In fact, this was the case.
No player thought that they would fail!
In their opinion, in this battle against the Orcs, everyone only needed to consider who could kill more enemies in the siege.
This relaxed and happy atmosphere and inexplicably high morale made the native elves who came to support feel much more relaxed.
After waiting for a night, the players weren't very anxious.
However, the three-hour standoff after the appearance of the Orc army made them more and more irritated.
The restless atmosphere was almost visible to the naked eye on the city wall. All the players were waiting for the Orcs to attack.
The warrior players checked their equipment over and over again. The mages counted the mana potions that they had prepared. Everyone looked toward the south, waiting for the arrival of experience and contribution points …
"Why aren't they attacking?"
Similar sighs could be heard from all over the city walls.
…
These three hours were the longest three hours that the players had ever spent.
After some rest, the Orcs were completely ready to attack, and the Orc scouts who explored the way returned to the camp.
"Your Majesty, this castle is a lone castle! We didn't find other elves nearby, but … we found traces of a large number of magic beasts migrating in the direction of the Elven Forest. "
"Traces of magic beasts migrating?"
Lionheart King Imsh frowned.
"Your Majesty! That's normal! After those elves appeared in the Elven Forest, the magic beasts in the forest began to migrate. I heard that … they were all driven away by the elves. Rumor has it that they even eat meat! Those elves … are no longer the race that loved nature! "
The Orc from the Rock Tribe who had escaped before said.
"Eat meat?!"
Lionheart King Imsh's eyes widened in surprise.
He and the Chief High Priest looked at each other and sneered:
"It seems that … this mysterious evil god really has some ability. Not only did he change the elves' beliefs, but he also changed their habits!"
"After all, he seized that person's priesthood. This evil god should be very afraid of that person."
The Chief High Priest said indifferently.
Lionheart King Imsh sneered after hearing the Chief High Priest's words.
"Hmph, just right! Destroy the elves, all of this belongs to His Holiness God Father, and also to us Orcs! "
After saying that, he raised his long sword high.
"Pass down the order, prepare to attack the city!"
…
"Woo —"
A series of heavy bugle sounds cut through the sky and echoed between the mountains …
The dense Orc army finally moved.
The Orcs didn't have cavalry, they were all infantry.
Of the 30,000 troops, 20,000 stayed in place as reserves, while the 10,000 at the front moved out. They surrounded the five ferocious Behemoths and pressed in the direction of the Black Dragon Castle.
Hearing the bugle sounds and seeing the movements of the Orcs, the players who had been waiting on the city wall became excited.
"They're coming! They're coming! "
"Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle! "
For a moment, the city wall became lively again. The entire Black Dragon Castle was like a huge war machine that began to operate slowly …
10,000 Orcs raised their shields and weapons. They surrounded the Behemoths like a tide and rushed toward the Black Dragon Castle on the hillside.
The long-range players gathered on the city wall, raised their bows and aimed at the advancing Orcs.
Elven archers had the longest attack range.
The effective range of an Iron archer was about 300 meters, nearly ten times that of a Mage of the same level.
Li Mu stood on the city wall and looked at the approaching Orc army with a solemn expression.
When the vanguard of the Orcs stepped into the 300 meter range, he raised his staff and shouted in the command channel:
"Release the arrows!"
As soon as his voice fell, arrows flickering with the brilliance of skills formed a gorgeous rain of arrows that shot out from the castle!
Lionheart King Imsh, who was leading the army forward, also shouted when he saw the arrows shot out.
"Raise your shields!"
For a moment, the Orcs raised their shields.
Nearly a thousand arrows arrived in the blink of an eye and fell into the formation of the Orcs like rain.
Most of the arrows were blocked by the shields raised by the Orcs, but there were nearly a hundred unlucky Orcs who were pierced by the arrows and fell to the ground screaming …
As for the five Behemoths, they didn't even try to dodge the arrows. Instead, they allowed the arrows to land on their bodies.
Their bodies were full of arrows, but their thick fat prevented them from feeling any pain.
The loss of a hundred people was just a drop in the ocean for the Orcs …
Soon, the Orcs' counterattack arrived.
Imsh, the Lionheart King, shouted again.
"Throw the spears!"
As soon as his voice fell, nearly a thousand Orcs in the 10,000 Orcs army took out two-meter-long spears from their backs and threw them toward the Black Dragon Castle …
As for the five Behemoths, they raised five terrifying huge spears that were half a meter thick and threw them towards the castle.
The orcs were extremely strong. Their spears, which were two meters long, had a terrifying penetrating power as they flew towards the castle.
The huge spears of the Behemoths were like five cannonballs, whistling through the wind as they shot out.
"Not good! Dodge! "
Seeing the rain of spears, the players' expressions changed as they hurriedly dodged.
The defensive core of the Black Dragon Castle had been activated, and the spears were concentrated on the castle. There was a faint magic wave, but it did not cause any damage to the castle.
But there were many players on the castle wall who could not dodge in time and were pierced by the flying spears, dying on the spot …
What was even more terrifying were the terrifying spears of the Behemoths.
They directly penetrated the defensive Theurgy of the castle wall and pierced into the wall …
If the castle wall had not been strengthened by the defensive Theurgy, there would have been a large hole in the wall.
In addition, a huge spear pierced through the tower on the castle wall, shattering the tower and tearing the two Archers on the tower into pieces!
Blood rained down, and for a moment, the players on the castle wall changed their expressions and became a little chaotic.
Most of them were Third Beta Players who had not experienced such a scene.
War was cruel and frightening.
Before the battle, they were still full of ambition, but once the battle really began, the players would truly experience the cruelty of this incredibly realistic war …
However, their morale was not affected.
Although they were frightened by this bloody scene, for the players, a game was still a game.
There was no threat of death. This was just exciting entertainment.
After the initial panic, under the command of Li Mu and Ji Gang, the long-range players continued to throw arrows at the Orc army.
And among the Orcs, there were Archers who advanced and counterattacked.
For a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with flying arrows …
