The Orcs were forced to retreat.
The Saintess Alice heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the Orc army slowly retreating.
Then, she and the Druid players began to help the other players who were injured in the defensive battle.
More than a thousand Orc warriors died in battle, but there were also many casualties among the players.
The level of the players who participated in the defensive mission was generally low. Even with the protection of the city walls, nearly five hundred players returned to Yggdrasil.
As for the number of injured players, there were more than a thousand.
But compared to the Orcs, this loss was considered small.
Not to mention, the players who died immediately rushed back through the Teleportation Portal after reviving.
Therefore, the defensive power of the entire castle did not decrease by much.
The only things that were lost were the defensive fortifications and city walls that were destroyed by the orcs and Behemoths in the previous battle.
After the cheers of the players, they began to clean up the battlefield.
Under the coordination of the two Legion Commanders, some players began to collect the equipment left behind by the Orcs on the city walls. Some players began to repair the city walls that were damaged in the battle. There were also players who received permission from Zero to open the city gates and collect the equipment left behind by the Orc army after they retreated.
It was strange. The battle was fierce and both sides fought with their lives on the line. But after the battle ended, there were no corpses on the battlefield, only bloodstains and equipment.
This strange situation made the native Elves' eyelids twitch. But the players were already used to it and did not care as if nothing had happened.
As the players cleaned up, the city walls were bustling again.
However, after obtaining a great victory, the atmosphere in the Black Dragon Castle was much more relaxed than before the start of the battle.
Even … the players were slightly more restless.
The benefits of the thousand Orcs that died far exceeded the losses of the players.
After tasting the sweetness of the Plot Quest, the players couldn't wait for the next wave of Orcs attack.
"These Orcs gave so much experience! All I did was kill a Warrior with the others and I got 5,000 Experience Points! "
A Level 11 Third Beta Gamer excitedly looked at his experience bar and said.
"Hey, only five thousand? I rushed to the front. Although I died once, my accumulated contribution was more than 200%. I gained more than 30,000 experience! These half-beastmen give more experience than human mercenaries! "
Another tank player proudly raised the machete in his hand.
"But you died once! Wouldn't that be a loss? "
"Hehe, I'm from the Meng Meng Committee. I'm a taunting warrior in our guild. If I die in a big storyline quest, I'll be reimbursed with contribution points."
"Damn … I'm so jealous!"
"…"
However, there were many players who simply liked the feeling of the battle just now.
"How exciting! This is what war should feel like. The RPG games of the past are so weak! "
"Awesome! This is much more interesting than fighting with Magical Beasts! "
"Seriously … We just fought for a while and got a feel for it, and they retreated! What a pity … "
The gamers tasted the sweetness of victory, and their fighting spirit was aroused. When they looked at the distant Orc army, their gazes changed completely.
"They won't not come, right?"
"Don't worry, there will definitely be another wave of attacks! How many people did they lose? He definitely won't give up. "
"Haha! If we destroy these half-beastmen, how much experience will we get! "
"Hehe, it won't be a problem to advance to mid-level Dark Iron!"
"Haha! I just told our friends who were ambushing our results. They are so envious. "
"Hehehe, who told them not to choose to defend the city?"
The gamers were very happy, and their morale was high.
However, the retreating half-beastmen were very dispirited.
Lionheart King Imsh took less than 9,000 half-beastmen out of the castle's shooting range, and his face was very ugly.
"I was careless … I didn't expect the Elves to gather such a strong force."
He originally thought that with 10,000 troops and five Behemoths, it would be easy to take down the Black Dragon Castle, but he didn't expect to bite a hard bone.
"It seems … I still have to ask for the help of Father God."
Lionheart King Imsh clenched his fists.
If he could take down the Elves with just secular forces, he would definitely please the True God, but now it seemed … he had to summon the Totem Guardian.
The Elven God's Chosen had appeared, and the castle's defense was very strong, and it seemed to be supported by Divine Power.
If he only relied on the half-beastmen's lives, he would suffer heavy losses!
Thinking of this, the Lionheart King Imsh took a deep breath and ordered his subordinates, "Don't worry.
"Invite the High Priestess …"
A moment later, the High Priestess of the half-beastmen, accompanied by two Silver Priests, came to Lionheart King Imsh.
"Your Majesty, it seems that your attack is not going well."
The High Priestess with a bone crown on her head and oil paint on her face smiled slightly.
In her hand, she was still holding a skeleton necklace that was constantly flashing with light.
But at this moment, the red on the necklace seemed to have deepened …
Lionheart King Imsh narrowed his eyes and took a deep look at the necklace in her hand, seeming to be very afraid.
As if sensing his gaze, the High Priestess touched the necklace in her hand and chuckled:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I won't use this divine object until the last moment."
Lionheart King was silent.
After a while, he looked at the High Priestess with a complicated expression and slowly said:
"I underestimated the power of the Elves. High Priestess, I've decided to summon the Totem Guardian directly. Have you prepared the summoning altar? "
Hearing Lionheart King's words, the High Priestess nodded with a fanatical expression:
"Of course!"
"If you wish, we can ask for the power of Father God at any time!"
…
The players cleaned up the battlefield very quickly.
There were no corpses, they just needed to pick up the equipment, and this was what the players were best at.
Soon, the ground under the city wall was completely empty. The players didn't even let go of the clothes on the half-beastmen and took them all back …
On the city wall, the damaged fortifications were also being repaired in an orderly manner.
Everyone was looking forward to the next attack of the half-beastmen.
However, Eve, who was standing on the city wall, had a dignified expression …
"Just now … something was competing with me for the life force."
A similar situation occurred after the death of Demacia and the others.
In the battle just now, nearly half of the life force of the half-beastmen who died in the battle was not absorbed by Eve's War Sacrifice!
Especially those half-beastmen who died outside the city wall, even if the skill triggered the War Sacrifice, Eve didn't get much life force. Instead, it was as if they evaporated into thin air.
Fortunately, the life force of the dead players was recovered by 100%, and the life force of the half-beastmen who died on the city wall was almost completely absorbed by Eve.
However, overall, more than a thousand half-beastmen who died in the battle still had about one-third of their life force missing.
Although overall, Eve still made a profit, but it was less than she expected.
That was a loss.
"It's an ability similar to Sacrifice! But … it shouldn't be a True God or an Evil God because the absorption of life force seems to be just a mechanism, or an instinct, more like some kind of sacrifice, or … a Divine Artifact! "
"I'm afraid … it's the thing I sensed before!"
"This ability to absorb life force is very secretive. If I wasn't controlling the War Sacrifice and completely controlling the Life Priesthood, I wouldn't have sensed it!"
"What the hell are the half-beastmen doing?"
"It seems that I have to be more careful …"
Just as Eve was thinking, suddenly … she felt a slight change in the Chest of the Dead stored in the Kingdom of God.
The Grim Reaper Hella replied.
