GOR Chapter 611 "Divine Punishment Group"
Thud thud thud thud …
A dense rain of arrows with sharp arrowheads nailed into the wooden planks. The astonishing movement caused the hearts of the human soldiers hiding below to almost jump out of their chests.
Above their heads, the terrifying shadows in the sky flashed with light and finally retreated far away.
In the distance, there were still a few figures flashing with magical light floating in the sky. Those were the human magicians resisting. Some of the more powerful magicians would fly into the sky and counterattack with magic. However, the elven archers were almost the natural enemy of the magicians! The elven archers had a long range and amazing accuracy. After the magicians flew into the sky and cast magic, they could only do their best to deal with the elves. Furthermore, there were only a little over twenty magic casters in the city. It would be far too difficult for them to mobilize hundreds or even thousands of elves to defend the city. They couldn't even completely protect the sky above the fortress. They could only barely resist the elves in a few important areas.
Even so, after a few days of fighting, there were finally casualties among the magicians.
"Fortunately, this is the last wave for today. It will be dark soon."
A soldier lifted the thick wooden plank on his body. His scalp tingled as he looked at the arrows nailed into the plank.
The arrows used by the elves looked very simple and crude. It was as if they were cut directly from the branches of some unknown plant. However, their power was so terrifying …
In the eastern defensive line, ever since the river was lost, the human defenders in the city began to struggle. The sinners had an unparalleled advantage in the air. The elves with the ability to fly would fly at least three times a day and launch three waves of air attacks.
As a result, after the initial human losses, the defenders in the city, without the ability to counterattack in the air, could only try their best to resist. All the doors of the houses in the city had been dismantled. When the elves attacked, the defenders could only hide in groups of three to five under thick wooden planks.
When the elves occasionally attacked, the defenders in the city had no choice but to hide under the dense rain of arrows. Even so, the casualties of the soldiers in the city were still rising. Many people were still shot to death by stray arrows when they were carrying wooden planks.
Under such circumstances, news of the Eastern Battlefront's predicament spread to the rear. The commander of the Human Air Force, General Andre, also launched two counterattacks. However, in the air, the combat ability of the airships was far inferior to that of the Elves. After paying a heavy price twice, the Air Force did not send out any more airships to die.
"Hey, time to eat." A cook soldier carried a wooden plank on his back, on which a few arrows were nailed. He held a large wooden basin in his hand and ran back and forth under the city wall, distributing the flatbread in the basin to the soldiers.
"These damned monster races …" The soldiers cursed in their hearts as they lay under the wooden planks and gnawed on the flatbread in their hands.

"It's been three days …" The evening breeze blew by the riverside, gradually bringing with it a trace of warmth.
Luo Xue's long hair fluttered in the wind. It narrowed its eyes and gazed at the human fortress walls in the distance. There was an unfathomable expression on its stunning face.
It looked up at the sky. A dense group of Elves, enveloped in a ball of faint golden light, had already flown back from the sky above the fortress.
"It's been three days." It turned to look at the two Elf Elders behind it and hurriedly lowered its head. "Yes, King. The humans don't seem to have any effective means to deal with our aerial attacks. In the past few days, our archers have already killed four of their magicians. "
Luo Xue nodded but sighed softly. "Killing four magicians is indeed not bad. Because there are not many magicians among the humans. But … our soldiers have also suffered losses. "
"Compared to the humans, our losses are almost negligible." An Elf Elder looked up. His old face still had the unique white skin of the Elves. He had long ears and a pointed chin. His long hair was also somewhat elegant. "Ordinary human soldiers are almost no threat to us. Their arrows and ballistae are a joke to our soldiers in the air. The only ones who can cause us a little damage are those magicians. Fortunately, they have too few magicians. I think … "
Luo Xue smiled. "Don't worry about what you want to say."
"King." The Elder was puzzled. "With the humans' level, why don't we take this fortress in one go? Since they can't resist our aerial attacks, if we attack in one go … "
"Because of life." Luo Xue sighed and looked at the Elder. His voice was very gentle. "Our population is still too small among the sinners."
As he spoke, his gaze turned to the distance. He said faintly, "Even if we lose tens of thousands of soldiers, with the orcs' reproductive ability, they can give birth to more people in a year. But for us … even if we lose hundreds of soldiers, it will take a long time … The birth rate of our race has never been high. Every time we lose an Elf Warrior, it will take a long time … "
But then he smiled. "Of course, I'm not afraid of casualties. Since it's a war, there's no such concern. I've waited for a few days. It's just a probing attack. In fact, I'm gradually breaking down the humans' fighting spirit. When we just crossed the river, the humans' morale didn't weaken much. On the contrary, under the mourning of the soldiers, their morale soared. They were probably inspired by the army that finally defended the river bank and died. " He paused and then smiled faintly. "But things like morale can be stirred up very quickly. After it dissipates, it won't be so easy to stir it up again. In these few days, the soldiers in the city have been repeatedly tortured by us. They should have lost their spirit. "
As he spoke, he gently clenched his fists. "Tonight!" The Elf King's eyes flashed. "Our … 'God's Punishment Team' has arrived? Then, let them move out tonight. Tomorrow morning, we can watch the sunrise on the city wall. "
A determined smile appeared at the corner of its mouth.
The two Elders trembled. "You … really plan to let them out? This doesn't conform to the traditions of the elves! The elves are a proud race. How can we use … "
"Power is power. If we don't use it, it'll be a waste." Luo Xue shouted resolutely. "Besides, even if it can save one of our warriors, I won't be stingy with using any method!"
He stared coldly at the two Elders. "Pass down my order. After sunset, the 'God's Punishment Team' will move out. Let them work harder. Otherwise …"
The two Elders trembled and quickly lowered their heads.
Luo Xue turned around and continued to look at the fortress in the south. He put his hands behind his back. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said in a low voice, "Are you worried? Lohart? "
Not far from Luo Xue, the captive Lohart stood there with a complicated expression. His hands were hidden in his sleeves and there was a faint trace of anger on his face.
Lohart wore a set of elf-style robes. His appearance could be considered delicate. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the pointed ears of the elves, he would be an elf.
"Worried about the fate of your kind?" Luo Xue glanced at the captive who had been by his side for many days. "You must really want to go back and fight with them right now."
Lohart's gaze was cold. He glanced at Luo Xue and said in a hoarse voice, "Why did you bring me here to see this and say these things? To torture my heart? "
Luo Xue smiled. His smile was emotionless. He said indifferently, "I'm not that cruel. It's just … Lohart, you've been by my side for so many days. During this time, I've never hidden any of the arrangements and deployments I've made from you. You've seen it all and must have weighed it in your heart long ago … Do you think that under such circumstances, your eastern battlefront can still be defended? "
Lohart's expression was pale. His body swayed a few times but he finally gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "We can't defend it!"
But then, he raised his head and shouted, "But even if you break through this fortress, the Empire will definitely not compromise! Countless warriors of my kind will step forward bravely! We swear to defend our homeland to the death! "
Luo Xue was silent, but then he nodded. "I've never doubted this. However, after breaking through the eastern fortress, this is not my strategic goal. It's just a chess piece. I must let your Empire understand that our race has the strength to pose a fatal threat to them! "
As he spoke, he laughed again. His voice was pleasing to the ear and seemed to have the power to tempt people.
"No matter if it's humans, elves, orcs … In this world, any intelligent race is the same. In any race, there are those who are brave, but there are also those who are cowardly. There are those who are noble, but there are also those who are despicable. There are those who are selfless, but there are also those who are selfish. There are those who advocate war … "At this point, he deliberately paused and said the last sentence," There are also those who fear war! My goal is to show our strength! To you humans, show the powerful strength of us sinners! "

As night fell, the soldiers on the city defense finally heaved a sigh of relief. According to the usual practice of the past few days, these monster races that had attacked the city would cease all activities at night. They would only attempt to attack the city a few times during the day, and the air raids in the sky would also be launched two or three times.
Facing enemies on the ground and in the sky at the same time, the human defenders still suffered heavy losses even if they used all their courage.
As the days passed, this embarrassing situation did not improve at all. Indeed, as Luo Xue said, morale inevitably began to slacken.
Seeing that the sun had finally set, and even the last trace of afterglow was gradually dispersing, the defenders on the city wall lit torches. Some of the soldiers who were injured during the day began to withdraw from the city wall to receive treatment.
The rotational soldiers climbed up the city wall and guarded the city, carefully looking at the enemy camp by the river in the distance.
And at this moment …
A loud and clear roar came from afar, piercing through the night sky!
The long roar was endless, and within the roar, there was some kind of pressure that shocked one's soul! Then, the roar grew from one point to a whole wave! More and more loud and long roars came. The sound seemed to vibrate through the air and directly smashed into one's heart! There seemed to be some kind of magic in the sound, causing one's body to tremble upon hearing it, and one's strength seemed to immediately weaken!
In the city, some of the magicians who had fought during the day were resting, and some seized the time to meditate and replenish their magic. The roar came from afar, and while the soldiers on the city wall were in a state of panic, the expressions of many magicians in the city changed drastically. Almost at the same time, more than ten magicians came out of their doors, and some even flew directly into the air, staring at the north with twisted expressions …
This sound … this sound …
This sound … was not the roar of some wild beast! Such a strong aura, such a strong sense of oppression and power …
This was …
Finally, in the northern sky, a bright light flashed, and then it turned into a flame-like light. Then, with that vigorous roar, countless huge black shadows flapped their huge wings in the night sky, like monsters in the air, and fiercely soared towards the human fortress!!
"Dragon! Dragon!! It's a dragon!!! "
Not sure which magician was the first to see the black shadows in the sky clearly, but he let out a cry of surprise …
