GOR Chapter 613 "Natural Enemy"
The sky was still dark. Within the fallen fortress, the orcs had already begun to clean up the battlefield. They sent out several small teams to extinguish the flames.
Soon after, the orc leader in charge of the eastern battlefront, a white rhinoceros orc wearing iron armor, brought a group of followers to the southern side of the fortress where the human army's storehouse was.
There were rows upon rows of storehouses. Outside the storehouse, blood stains could be seen everywhere. In last night's battle, the human army had resisted until the very end. Moreover, looking from afar, several of the storehouses had already collapsed. Black smoke could be seen coming out from inside.
According to the orc warrior's report, the humans had made their last stand here. When they saw that the situation was hopeless, the desperate human army tried to burn down the storehouse. Unfortunately, this plan failed in the end.
Due to the assistance of the Dragons, several Megalosaurus flew over and cast water magic. The fire was extinguished before it could spread.
Outside the storehouse, there were hundreds of corpses lying on the ground. Many of them were badly mutilated beyond recognition. However, based on their attire, it seemed that one of the corpses' identity was still recognizable. It was likely to be a high ranking officer in the human army. That was because the quality of the armor, cloak, robe and the weapons used were all different from the other soldiers.
Unfortunately, in the final fierce battle, the head of the corpse was smashed into mush by an orc's hammer. His original appearance could no longer be seen.
"Move." The orc commander's tone was very cold.
But then, under the escort of his subordinates, he walked into the first storehouse in front of him. The cold expression on his face instantly turned into extreme surprise and excitement.
Behind him, hundreds of orcs were also staring at the scene in front of them with their mouths wide open. Some of them even had greedy looks on their faces. They even looked like they were about to drool …
In this huge storehouse, all kinds of food, flour and the like were packed in sacks and piled up like a mountain. There was also the meat hanging at the side. Whole fan-like pieces of meat that had been slaughtered, skinned, and dried. They hung there densely like a forest! There were at least a dozen huge wooden barrels piled up in the corner. Some orcs immediately wrinkled their noses as their eyes lit up. They ran over with large strides and stabbed the knives in their hands into the wooden barrels. Then, they looked at the fragrant liquid that flowed out. They reached out to catch it and put it into their mouths to taste. Immediately, they shouted in high spirits, "Wine! It was top-notch wine! Beast God above, I've never tasted such good wine in my life! "
When the other orcs heard this, they immediately swarmed over and moved the barrels of wine down. They opened the lids, and some even sat on the ground and started drinking.
The beastman leader wasn't happy and angrily shouted, "Bastard! Get up! "
It went up and kicked one of its subordinates over. It said angrily, "Don't touch the things here! Go gather two groups of people for me. Collect wooden planks from the city and make them into carts to transport them back! "
After the beastman leader was angry, his face became happy again. There were dozens of such warehouses here. Calculating it, how much food would there be!
With so much food, even if they ate and drank to their heart's content, it would be enough to feed a hundred thousand orcs for half a year!
Soon, two groups of orc warriors were gathered and firmly guarded the warehouses. The beastman leader brought his subordinates to check the warehouses one by one. The more they looked, the more they couldn't help but go crazy with joy!
It wasn't just food. There were also piles of fodder for the horses. There were also a few warehouses that were piled with top-notch weapons and armors that humans knew of. Although the size of these weapons weren't suitable for the orcs, if they were brought back to the furnace to be refined, they could be turned into iron ingots again and the dwarves could make more military equipment!
"Change our equipment! Damn, we can all change our equipment now! We don't have to be jealous of the armor and weapons of the wolf cavalry anymore! Hahahaha! "
In their ecstasy, the orcs all laughed wildly.
"Leader … should we hide these things from the elves?" An orc suddenly asked.
"Hmm …" The beastman leader couldn't help but hesitate. In his greed, he naturally wanted to take all the reserves here for himself. However, when he thought of how terrifying Luo Xue was, he finally suppressed this thought. "Forget it. The elves don't have a large population anyway. They won't get much."
Just as the orcs were busy dividing the loot in the warehouses, the elven warriors also began to enter the city. Luo Xue still stayed at the river north of the city with his own warriors. He watched from afar as the beacons in the city were gradually extinguished. The sky was slightly bright and there was no light in the city. Only black smoke rose everywhere and it looked desolate.
"Hmm, this city has been taken." Luo Xue smiled lightly. "Has the Divine Punishment Team returned?"
"Yes, King." An old elder bowed and said.
"Very good. They did well this time. Don't treat them too harshly. There will be times when we need their help in the future." After a pause, a trace of disdain appeared on Luo Xue's lips. "Those orcs were so noisy after entering the city? Hmph, don't bother with those brainless fellows. Let the elven warriors in the air go down south first to receive the pursuing troops. The elven warriors enter the city and take control of the city defense first! Don't bother with those orcs who only know how to snatch the warehouses. We've already taken the city and left the warehouses there. Are you still afraid of them flying away? "
After giving his orders, Luo Xue looked at the defeated Rohart beside him. Only then did his expression soften a little. He said gently, "I know you don't feel good, but this is war. Now, follow me into the city. "
Rohart's expression was gloomy as he stared coldly at Luo Xue. "I still don't understand why you don't kill me!"
His gaze was as sharp as a knife. "If you think you can make me surrender, that's absolutely impossible! The longer I stay by your side, the more I understand you all! One day, I will find a chance to escape. At that time, I will definitely make you regret it! So, you better kill me now! "
Luo Xue was silent for a while. He looked into Rohart's eyes and said softly, "In this world … not being afraid of death may not be true courage. Daring to continue living in desperate adversity is the symbol of courage. Rohart, remember what I said. "
Then, without caring about Rohart's reaction, Luo Xue had his subordinates pass down another order. "Clean up the battlefield in the city. If there are human captives, tell those orcs not to harm them and bring them all to our camp."
Luo Xue shook his head. "Since we've taken down this city, we don't have to worry about food. Tell those orcs that if anyone dares to kill captives to use as food, I will skin them. "
After passing down this order, Rohart gritted his teeth and was silent for a while. Then, with difficulty, he said to Luo Xue in a low voice, "Thank you."
"No need to thank me. Let's enter the city."
•
The sky gradually brightened. The orcs in the city sent a large number of laborers to move cart after cart of food from the warehouses out of the north of the city. They planned to send a batch to the orc stronghold in the rear.
And according to Luo Xue's orders, the elven aerial warriors also gathered and prepared to go south to support the wolf riders in pursuit.
The remaining human captives and injured soldiers in the city were also gathered. There were about three to five thousand people. The actual number should be more than this. However, the orcs were barbaric. Before Luo Xue's orders were passed down, they had already killed many of the captives. After all, they never had the habit of leaving anyone alive.
Luo Xue did not stay in the city for long. He only made a symbolic circle and then quickly left, leaving only the main force of the orcs and a portion of the elven warriors here. Luo Xue himself led his personal guards and crossed the river to return to the north.
Just as the first ray of sunlight shone from the horizon, the sinner army in the city was preparing to rest after a night of work. At this moment, there were still some elven aerial warriors on the city walls preparing to go south.
All of a sudden, a sharp whistling sound came from the sky! The howl seemed to come from some kind of bird of prey. The sound was sharp and piercing, and it faintly seemed to have some kind of magic that made one's heart tremble!
Before that sharp howl had even ended, a corresponding cry had already come from the horizon. Instantly, it formed a sound wave that came whistling from afar!!
When this howl came, many of the elven archers standing on the city walls immediately swayed when they heard it. Their expressions suddenly changed drastically. There were even some elves who were swept by this sound wave. Their faces suddenly turned pale, and they closed their eyes and directly fainted!
Alarmed by this sound, many sinners raised their heads to look at the sky in the south. They saw a row of strange shadows in the sky, spreading their wings and already breaking through the air!
"Enemy! Enemy attack!!! "
The orcs on the city walls let out a roar!
However, its roar soon turned into a miserable shriek!
Du Wei took the lead. The Gryphon under him swooped down from above the city walls. Its sharp claws and teeth easily pierced through the strong orc's body, and then it was thrown high up. After a muffled bang, the corpse fell below the city walls and was smashed into a meat patty!
Then, behind Du Wei, the Gryphon Knights came whistling. A hundred Gryphon Knights opened their mouths and screeched. Suddenly, the sharp and sonorous screeches could be heard everywhere in the sky above the fortress!
The airborne elves were the first to react. Immediately, some warriors flapped their wings and flew into the sky to fight. But then, when the Gryphon Knights all descended from the sky and flew over the city walls, they swooped down a few times and immediately pounced on the orcs on the city walls. Many elves had already seen the other party's appearance!!
Human … human air force?
How could this be?!
The Gryphon Knights were wearing armor. They had a long spear in one hand and a short crossbow in the other. The mounts they were riding had huge bodies with wings as hard as iron. They had the head of an eagle and the body of a lion. Their claws and teeth were like hooks!!
Many of the elves felt that something was amiss when they saw this.
At this time, Du Wei had already landed on the city walls. This side of the city walls was occupied by a hundred Gryphon Knights. The hundred Gryphon Knights landed in a row on the city walls. After looking at the situation inside the city, Du Wei snorted. "Left team and I will feign an attack to attract their attention. Right team, target the storage warehouse. We must burn the warehouse!"
After saying that, the Gryphon under him flapped its wings and flew down the city walls!
Just as the elven warriors were about to fly into the air, they ran into Du Wei head-on. Some of the elves immediately retreated with their bows ready to shoot at him, while others held onto their long swords, ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
At this time, Du Wei suddenly slapped the neck of the Gryphon he was riding …
"Roar!!!!"
Du Wei's mount, the Black Winged Gryphon, suddenly let out a long cry towards the sky. This time, the distance was even closer, and the sound waves were like countless steel needles. Along with the sound waves, the surrounding elves all turned pale upon hearing this sound. Some even fell to the ground on the spot, while others who were flying in the air, were startled by this sound and suddenly fell from the sky!
This unforeseen event shocked the sinners!!
The roar of the Gryphon was actually so powerful?!
Du Wei did not hesitate. He rode the Gryphon and quickly flew over. He pointed the spear in his hand and immediately pierced through an elf who was on the verge of collapse. With a swing of the spear, the corpse was thrown far away. The mount under him was also extremely ferocious. It stretched out its sharp claws and grabbed two elves. Then, it turned around and soared into the sky. Its claws split apart, and with a few 'chi chi' sounds, the corpses were torn apart!
More elves hurriedly flew up into the sky. However, they were met with a row of Gryphon Knight under Du Wei. The Gryphons cried out at the same time. The elves who were charging at the front suddenly trembled violently. They could see the elves on the verge of collapse. Some even closed their eyes and fell from the sky!
The Gryphons roared again and again. The mournful roars shook countless elves, causing them to drop the weapons in their hands. Some could not bear the pain and covered their ears with their hands. Their faces were filled with pain.
The row of Gryphons immediately whistled and passed through the elves in the sky. Immediately, there were endless screams and blood sprayed everywhere …
At this time, the elven aerial warriors who had been invincible since the beginning of the battle were now like lambs meeting a pride of lions. They did not even have the strength to fight back!!
Du Wei steered his mount and swooped down a few times. His spear had already taken the lives of at least four elven warriors.
When he rose up again, he saw that the dozens of Gryphon Knight under his command were already flying everywhere. They shuttled back and forth in the chaotic formation of the elves in the sky. From time to time, he could see blood spurting out …
"As expected! Chris didn't lie to me. Srethrin is indeed the natural enemy of the elves!! "
— — —
"The reason why the Demon Race created the Srethrin was to deal with the elves who had the ability to fly. The cries of Gryphons have natural magic attributes. If ordinary humans hear them, they will faint and feel fear. If demons or beastmen hear them, they will also fall into a certain degree of confusion. The claws and teeth of Gryphons are sharp. A mature Gryphon can easily tear through sturdy armor. However, this is not the main reason … The reason why the Srethrin is so terrifying is because Gryphons are the natural enemy of the elves! "
He remembered that when the Gryphon Knight was formed a few months ago, Old Chris had secretly told Du Wei:
"The roar of Gryphons is the weapon that the elves fear the most. This is because the effect of ordinary confusion and stun will be magnified several times when encountering the elves! It has to be said that Gryphons are the natural enemy of the elves. The body structure of the elves is very similar to that of the demons and humans. We don't really understand why the roar of Gryphons can cause so much damage to the elves. But later on, we guessed that it might be because of the long and pointed ears of the elves! "
"Moreover … After you lead the Gryphon Knights into battle with the elves, you will discover a surprise … I won't say it now. You will naturally know when you experience it."
— — —
"Ah …"
Amidst the mournful screams, an elf's body and armor were pierced by a Gryphon. The ferocious Gryphon even bit off one of the elf's wings, tearing it off in a bloody manner!
The Gryphon seemed to have tasted something delicious in its mouth and swallowed it.
At this moment, the elven warriors in the sky were caught in a bitter battle. The roar of the Gryphons caused many elves to lose their fighting strength. Only a few high-ranked elven warriors were still resisting with all their might.
However, the elves' advantage in the air was non-existent in the face of the Gryphons!
The Gryphons' movements were swift and fierce, not at all inferior to the elves' agility. Moreover, the Gryphons' bodies were tougher than the elves', they had more terrifying strength and hard wings! They were also more ferocious by nature!
Coupled with the Gryphons' continuous roars, even the high-ranked elves with relatively high strength felt dizzy. They only had 30% to 50% of their fighting strength left.
A rain of blood blossomed everywhere. In just a moment, more than half of the elves who had flown into the sky to fight were swept away!
Seeing hundreds of elves die on the spot, the beastmen below could only helplessly roar. Beastmen couldn't fly and weren't proficient in archery.
Finally, the tribal chief and elders of the Elven Tribe rushed over. But just as the tribal chief was about to order more Elven warriors to fight, an old elder beside him suddenly trembled violently as he carefully observed the appearance of the enemy in the sky. He abruptly grabbed the tribal chief and pointed to the sky with a trembling finger. After holding back his breath for a long time, he fiercely yelled out!
"Srethrin!! Srethrin!! That's the Srethrin of the Demon Race!!! "
This mournful and terrifying shout was heard by countless elves in the surroundings.
Although it had been ten thousand years since they were banished, the current Elven Race had never truly seen a Demon Race's Srethrin. However, this traditional Race had kept very complete records of the ancient times. Most of the Elves also knew that the Demon Race's strange and ferocious aerial force was once the nemesis of their Race!
Hearing the elder shout this name, the expressions of many elves changed on the spot …
Du Wei was in the air and saw many elves gathered not far below. Those warriors were clustered around a few people in the middle … Hmm, could it be the leader of the elves?
He swooped down a few times and saw that it wasn't Luo Xue from afar. Only then did he relax. With his current strength, he didn't have the confidence to challenge Luo Xue.
He waved his spear and a violent wave of air surged. He then fiercely kicked the Gryphon under him. With a long cry, the Gryphon fell from the sky!
The elven tribal leader and elder on the ground were instantly stunned. Some of the elven warriors beside them picked up their bows and weapons and were about to counterattack, but the wave of roars that came from the front caused the elves in the front row to faint on the spot!
The people behind them also couldn't help but feel dizzy. It was as if that sound had pierced their souls. In this short moment, they fell into a dazed state.
But … a moment was enough!
Du Wei pointed his spear and leaned down close to the Gryphon's back. Under the powerful force of the charge, the spear had already fiercely pierced through the chest of the elf in the middle with the most gorgeous armor! He then used force and that elf was thrown into the air with a miserable cry!
In the sky, two Gryphons immediately rushed over and grabbed him from the left and right. Then, they pulled …
With a muffled sound, the elves below screamed in horror as their corpses were split into two!
This pitiful elf was a high-ranked Great Elf (equivalent to a rank 7 or 8 human Knight) among the elves.
"Clan … Clan Leader!!!"
Du Wei raised his spear again. Behind him, a dozen Gryphon Knight had already dealt with their enemies and gathered behind Du Wei. His spear was pointed at the elves on the ground. Suddenly, he had a thought and took a deep breath before suddenly roaring!
"Srethrin!!!"
The dozen Gryphon Knight behind him also immediately shouted at the same time!
"Srethrin!!!"
"Srethrin!!!"
— — —
"Weng!!"
This shout immediately caused the elves below to come back to their senses. Seeing Du Wei once again lead a dozen Gryphons and charge down, the elves' limbs went limp from the roars of the Gryphons. Seeing the sky full of flying figures charging over, the elder finally shouted out in fear!
"Elves! Evacuate!! Everyone evacuate!!! "
He frantically roared at his companions, "Hurry and leave this place! Srethrin is the bane of our race!! Don't throw away your lives here!! "
"Boom!"
With the elder's command, the elves, who had been growing more and more terrified, immediately fled in all directions like birds and beasts, as if they had been pardoned.
Seeing the elves, who were usually arrogant, flee like headless flies, the beastmen below were all shocked.
Although the roars of the Gryphons didn't affect the beastmen too much, seeing those formidable Sky Elven Warriors run like weeds in the face of these strange enemies was enough to shock them.
Seeing this scene, Du Wei couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. It was a pity that he had too few people. If he had more people, he might have been able to seize the opportunity to take back the stronghold!
Just as he thought of this, he saw flames rising from the storage warehouse in the distance!
Following the flames and thick smoke, another team of Gryphon Knight rushed out from the warehouse, chasing the beastmen on the ground away.
In an instant, dozens of Gryphons set fire everywhere, and soon, dozens of warehouses were set ablaze. Seeing the thick smoke filling the sky, Du Wei finally let out a sigh of relief and roared, "Success! Retreat! "
The hundred Gryphon Knight relied on their advantage in the air to achieve great results in this battle. Du Wei was already very satisfied with this result.
But just as the hundred Gryphon Knight were about to turn around and leave, a long roar came from the north behind them!
That roar was even more shocking than the roars of the Gryphons, and it carried a power that made one's heart tremble!
"Hmm? Dragon! "Du Wei's eyes turned cold.
It seemed that the other side had reacted and sent the dragon that attacked the stronghold last night!
Gryphons had a natural advantage against elves, but they couldn't do so against dragons.
Thinking of this, Duwei didn't dare to hesitate. He quickly led his men and madly headed south … …
However, the roar behind them almost instantly approached from afar!
Du Wei looked back and saw a few black dragon shadows in the sky chasing after them at an astonishing speed! They were still very far away, but after a few ups and downs, they were already behind them!
No! Dragons' flying speed was much faster than Gryphons!
Du Wei's heart sank, and then he suddenly shouted, "Left and right teams, immediately head south and rendezvous with the warship! Don't disobey! "
After saying that, Du Wei sneered, but he turned around and controlled the Gryphon under him to charge toward the original group of dragons!
Dragons? Hmph, I've seen the Dragon God. I'm not afraid of these little lizards!
In the air, he had already quickly put the Tearlight Crystal under his tongue …
"Roar!!!!!"
Du Wei, who was on the Gryphon, suddenly raised his head, and an incomparably powerful roar burst out from his mouth!
That roar was like thunder in a storm! In the majesty, there was also a high and mighty aura! This roar was also a dragon's roar!
However, that dragon's aura was far stronger than the group of Dragons chasing after them!!!
