The bone-chilling wind rustled the banners, and the loud bugle horn resounded throughout the battlefield.
In the vast desert, the Orcs stood in neat formation, roaring as they approached the players' camp.
The players stood on the city wall and looked at the army that stretched as far as the eye could see in shock.
Although they had participated in many large and small battles, and it was not as if they had never experienced a battle of 100,000, at this moment, looking at the Orcs' tight formation from afar, everyone could not help but feel their blood boil.
Of course, the unique vicissitudes of the desert map, the "lone smoke rises in the desert, the long river sets in the round sun" and the passionate background music of the battlefield channel were also one of the reasons why the players' adrenaline surged.
Seeing this scene, many people felt an indescribable sense of pride in their hearts.
The so-called epic feeling was nothing more than this, right?
"Hiss … Although the battles these days have made my blood boil, compared to today's scene, it's child's play!"
"After all, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers … Other things aside, this is rare even in the real ancient times, right?"
"A sea of people … No … I think a sea of people can't even describe this scene …"
"Exciting … Just this scene and the screenshots are enough for me to brag about on the Internet!"
"This game's war mechanism … I'm going to brag about it!"
The players stood on the city wall, looking excited.
Of course, they did not stop what they were doing.
The tank warrior players put on their heavy armor and stood at the forefront of the city wall.
The archer players raised their bows and magic guns, aiming at the army outside the city.
The mage players and druid players began to chant rhythmic spells, attaching buff spells to the players and the city wall.
Meanwhile, on the high platform of the Earthen Wall, the players who had been selected were busy operating the long-range equipment.
They put the prepared ammunition into the catapults and ballistas, ready to launch.
Jiang Shang was one of them.
He stood on a high platform, operating the huge ballista clumsily and injecting his magic power into the magic stones embedded in the ballista.
At the same time, he could not help but complain as he operated.
"Tell me, how did I, a close combat druid with wild specialization, become a crossbowman?"
"Of course it's because you're a silver spellcaster with high magic power!"
Beside him, his good friend Ah Kai replied.
"That's true."
Jiang Shang scratched his head.
This kind of magically modified large-scale machine was quite magical to operate.
Although Archers had all sorts of skill bonuses and could aim more accurately when attacking, they couldn't control the Magically Modified Catapults and Ballistas as Spellcasters.
Moreover, because the power of the magically modified machines relied heavily on magic, their original attack enhancing skills were also inferior.
For such a big guy, a pile of mana was enough. The higher the mana, the more powerful it would be.
Therefore … as a Silver Profession Druid, Jiang Shang was naturally used as a coolie.
However, although Jiang Shang was complaining, he was also very happy in his heart.
That was because the battles over the past few days had already proven that if this kind of large-scale machine was operated properly, it would definitely be the best weapon to farm points!
"By the way, have you exchanged [Eagle Eye] and [Heart Arrow]?"
Ah Kai rolled his eyes and asked again when he saw his friend smiling foolishly while touching the crossbow.
Jiang Shang nodded.
"Don't worry, such important skills have been exchanged a long time ago. I don't want to become Salty Meow."
[Eagle Eye] and [Heart Arrow] were both auxiliary spells for Archers. They could improve accuracy and make players more accurate.
Although Jiang Shang wasn't an Archer, since it was a spell, he could also exchange it. It was just that he wouldn't be as powerful as Archers when using it.
"Be careful later. When the fight starts, we will definitely be targeted."
Jiang Shang looked at the orc army that was getting closer and closer in the distance and said.
"Don't worry! I've already changed into the thickest armor. You should be careful. Don't get too excited and get shot by arrows. "
A 'Kai showed off his shiny breastplate and chuckled as he replied.
Jiang Shang nodded and looked outside the city wall again.
The rhythmic and powerful footsteps came. The orc army was getting closer.
Through the [Eagle Eye], he could already see the ferocious heads and sharp fangs of the orc warriors in the front row.
Unlike the orcs that the players fought before, these orcs were obviously better equipped, especially those at the front.
They were like Tank Warrior players, wearing heavy armor and looking majestic.
Behind these heavily-armored Orc warriors, the main army was also fully armored. They were on a completely different level from the Orc tribe's miscellaneous army.
There was no doubt that this was the true elite force of the orcs.
However, Jiang Shang's eyes quickly skipped over these orcs and focused on the huge behemoth that was surrounded by orcs.
Behemoth Behemoth.
These behemoths looked like hippopotamuses with fangs, human ears, and lion tails. They were extremely tall and were at least ten meters tall. There were more than a hundred of them.
They pushed siege towers and wore shiny silver armor. It was brand new custom-made armor that was suspected to be made by the Sauron Chamber of Commerce.
Not only that, but each of them had the strength of a Silver.
Jiang Shang's eyes turned cold.
These big guys … were the biggest threat to the players in this battle.
Due to time constraints, the players didn't build the city wall more than ten meters tall.
If these guys got close to the city wall, it would be troublesome …
Not only that, these guys were extremely strong. Each of the behemoths had a spear that could be thrown from their back, and those spears were a fatal threat to the players' Megalosaurus companions!
With these behemoths around, the players couldn't safely use the Megalosaurus "bombers."
However, the players were not without countermeasures.
The ballistas on the high platform were mainly aimed at these behemoths!
Jiang Shang controlled the ballista and aimed at one of the behemoths.
Closer, the orcs were getting closer.
Gradually, the orcs at the front were within five hundred meters of the city wall.
This was the effective range of the Catapults and Ballistas.
The players held their breaths and became more excited. Their hands holding their weapons trembled slightly.
At this moment, the background music on the battlefield suddenly changed …
The passionate background music instantly changed to fierce drumbeats and horns, just like an army on the battlefield.
At the same time, Commander Li Mu's roaring voice resounded throughout the battlefield channel.
"Catapults — fire!"
Following his order, the trebuchets that were placed on the high platform of the earthen wall and in the tower of the camp were thrown out one after another ….
The bullets, trailing magical flames behind them, flew into the air like meteors, drawing a parabola in the blue sky. Black smoke trailed behind them as they whizzed through the air and smashed into the battlefield!
There was a loud rumbling sound. Every loud sound meant that an "ammunition" had landed and exploded.
Some landed in front of the orcs, and some landed in the middle of the orcs' formation.
Flames and hot iron shot out in all directions, and huge pits with black smoke appeared on the ground.
The orcs who were affected let out a series of screams …
They either turned into ashes in the explosion and flames, or they barely kept their lives but were badly mutilated.
Almost instantly, there was a commotion in the orc formation.
This kind of large-scale weapon had a terrifying lethality like magic, and it was often the most frightening.
However, the orcs' panic only lasted for a few seconds.
The sound of horns came from the back of the orcs, and they gradually regained their composure.
Then, they continued to close in on the players' "fortress" at the same pace.
The players continued to use the catapults to throw Magic Stone ammunition. From afar, it was like a meteor shower. It was extremely spectacular.
However, Jiang Shang did not take action.
None of the ballistae moved.
Unlike the catapults, the ballistae relied on great strength and the penetrating power of magic.
Although the Behemoths had entered the effective range, considering their heavy armor and fat, this distance was far from enough!
They had to wait …
Soon … the orcs entered the range of 300 meters.
This was the effective range of bows and magic guns.
Another loud horn came from the orc formation. Then, the archers in the orc army raised their longbows and lit the arrows in their hands.
Noticing the orcs' actions, Li Mu's roar sounded again in the battlefield channel.
"Priests, activate the defense! Archers, get ready! "
Following his order, the priests who were already prepared stood at a fixed position on the hexagram earth wall and began to chant.
As they chanted, a golden beam of light shot up into the sky from the goddess statue in the middle of the camp, turning into a translucent energy shield that covered the top of the camp.
A Divine Defense Shield.
However, if one looked closely, they would find that this Divine Defense Shield was not perfect. Its color was much lighter than the one in Sandstorm City …
This was normal. After all, it was a last-minute creation by the players.
"Woo —"
The horn sounded again from the orcs' direction.
With the order, their archers shot arrows in the direction of the players' fortress.
No less than 50,000 orc archers shot at the same time. Countless arrows suddenly turned into a dense rain of arrows. With flames, they shot into the players' camp!
As the rain of arrows fell, the Divine Defense Shield suddenly flickered …
When the arrows hit the Divine Defense Shield, the flames on most of the arrows were extinguished under the light of the Divine Defense Shield. Even the kinetic energy was almost exhausted. Only a small number of arrows broke through the shield and entered the camp.
Instantly, some tents were set ablaze.
There was a faint commotion in the camp.
At the same time, Li Mu roared in the Battlefield Channel:
"Mages, put out the fire! Archers, pay attention — shoot! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the archers shot their bows and pulled the triggers of their magic guns.
With a roar, the flashing arrows and elemental bullets turned into a dazzling rain of light.
The former was like raindrops falling into the Orcs' position, while the latter formed a direct ray of light that poured down from the earth wall.
"Woo —"
The horn sounded again from the orc army.
The soldiers raised the round shields in their hands and held them above their heads.
The arrows and elemental bullets fell, and there was a series of crackling sounds.
There were close to 40,000 archers, and their average strength was obviously higher than the orcs.
Even though the orcs were prepared, there were still many arrows and elemental bullets that penetrated their defense.
On the battlefield, miserable cries rang out as half-beastmen fell everywhere.
Even the entire formation was faintly disrupted for a moment.
Of course, it was only for a moment.
There were too many orcs.
And this time, the ones who were dispatched were the absolute elites.
With the long sound of the horn, the orcs quickened their pace and rushed toward the players' fortress.
The archers on both sides were still shooting.
The gorgeous arrow rain intertwined, and it was extremely spectacular.
As the main force of the siege, the Behemoths were within 150 meters of the earth wall!
Looking at the huge bodies of the Behemoths, Jiang Shang held his breath.
He felt his heart pounding, and the blood in his body was boiling.
Then, the Behemoths pulled out the spears behind them and aimed them at the earth wall.
To be more precise, they aimed at the high platforms on the earth wall.
In the next second, they threw the spears in their hands.
The spears were extremely fast and shot into the players' camp in the blink of an eye.
However, they pierced an invisible barrier and were unable to advance any further. In the end, they fell to the ground ….
And if one looked from the sky, they would find that the hexagonal earth wall created by the players was glowing, and a translucent magic shield appeared on each high platform.
The fifth-circle spell, Wind Shield.
At the beginning of the battle, the players considered the terrifying throwing ability of the Behemoths and improved the defense.
The earth wall of the players' camp was not built in a hexagonal shape for aesthetic purposes.
In fact, this was a huge magic array designed by Coot Bird, and its function was to generate a defensive magic on each high platform of the earth wall to protect precious large equipment.
The effect was quite good.
Of course, the consumption of Magic Stones was also very high.
Then, Li Mu's voice sounded again in the battlefield channel:
"Giant crossbow! Target the Behemoths! Shoot! "
Jiang Shang, who was already prepared, looked serious.
He activated the magic that he injected into the crossbow.
Bright light flowed through the magic patterns on the ballista and finally lit up the giant spear with magic arrays.
Then, Jiang Shang pulled the trigger of the crossbow.
"Come on … my babies!"
He licked the corner of his mouth.
Accompanied by the whistling of the wind, the crossbow shot out a five-meter-long spear.
The spear flashed with the light of the skill and shot towards the Behemoths that he aimed at.
There were more than 20 crossbows on the earth wall facing the Behemoths.
More than 20 terrifying spears shot out, and finally, a small portion of them hit their targets.
With a shrill sound, four or five of the Behemoths that were hit were severely injured and completely lost the ability to fight.
However, the Behemoths that were lucky enough to escape roared and sped up.
They pushed the siege tower and rushed to the bottom of the city wall under the rain of arrows from the players.
The siege tower was in place.
The Behemoths roared and entered the siege tower, ready to climb up the city wall.
The close combat … was about to begin.
However, Li Mu's voice sounded again in the battlefield channel:
"Attention Mage team!"
"Release — Explosive Magic!"
In the next second, a terrifying magic wave began to gather under the city wall …
"Boom …"
Accompanied by the laughter of the Mage players, the city wall was engulfed in a sea of fire.
