The soldiers of North Town City lined up beside the Red Sand River. Beside them was a 20-meter-tall slope. The orc army had occupied this terrain, so the soldiers attacking North Town City would have to look up. North Town City City was on the higher ground.
Time passed by. Five kilometers was not a long distance. The orc army soon finished. The first to appear was a group of mount wolf riders. This was one of the few taming techniques the orcs had mastered.
"Sir, there are only two hundred of them. Should we eat them?" Eden came to Su Lun's side and asked.
Suhlen shook his head. "No need. If we attack now, we will alert them."
Although the 200 Mount Wolf Riders were powerful, Su Lun still didn't care about them. Moreover, these Mount Wolf Riders were fast, so it wouldn't be easy to kill all of them. Once the formation was pulled apart, the orcs would take the opportunity to attack. At that time, the losses would be great.
After all, these human soldiers were much weaker than the Barbarians. Without a formation to protect them, they would be crushed by the orc army in a single charge.
The mount wolf riders continued forward. Soon, they were approaching the human army. Unlike the messy way the humans used to attack in the wilderness, the orcs were clearly experienced. The 200 mount wolf riders split into small groups and moved in the distance. Behind the mount wolf riders was the orc army.
These mount wolf riders were very alert. They kept moving 150 meters away. Although the centaurs could attack from this distance, the mount wolf riders had enough time to dodge. These mount wolf riders made some strange roars as they moved. Although Suhlen did not understand the orc language, he knew they were provoking him.
Su Lun turned over his palm, took out an iron-body bow, and then shot arrows at the nearest team of Wolf Riders.
Bang, bang, bang!
The bowstring vibrated. In less than a minute, dozens of arrows were shot out. The closest wolf riders didn't even have time to react before arrows flew over. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen wolf riders were hit by arrows. The armor of these wolf riders was like paper. The one-meter long special arrows directly pierced through their bodies.
None of the wolf riders were spared. The soldiers of Northern Battlefront City raised their weapons and roared when they saw the death of the Wolf Riders. The other Wolf Riders around them were also shocked. They didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly retreated.
The army of Northern Battlefront City fell silent when they saw the enemy retreating. It was time for the real battle to begin. The army of Orcs slowly approached. The army consisted of Goblins, Bugbears, Ground Goblins, Gnolls, Kobolds, and other wild monsters. They formed a twisted battle formation.
The monsters in the first three rows were holding a variety of shields. Many of the shields were obviously made from freshly chopped trees. They were crooked and messy. Although these 'shields' looked ridiculous, they still had some defensive power. However, this time, they were facing a Centaur Longbow.
"100 meters ahead."
At the order of the herald, all the longbowmen, including the drows, raised their bows and arrows.
"Fire!"
"Beng beng beng!"
The sound of bowstrings was deafening. Black clouds rose from the human army and instantly flew above the orc army.
The fine iron arrowheads were very good at penetrating armor. The temporary shields made by the monsters were directly pierced through. After the arrows pierced through the wooden shields, they pierced through the monsters' bodies. A large number of monsters were killed or injured. The white snow was dyed red.
The orc army that was aggressively advancing was dealt a heavy blow. The orc army did not expect that the shields they made to defend against the arrows would be useless.
After three rounds of arrow rain, the orc army suffered hundreds of casualties. The formation at the front was destroyed before they could even get close. While the archers were attacking the orc army, the Wolf riders that were wandering around all raised their scimitars and rushed towards the longbowmen with their companions.
Packs of wolf riders were the most difficult hunters to deal with in the wilderness. Their horsemanship was superb, and their strength was not bad. But the most troublesome thing was that they could starve for days on end. They would harass their prey from behind, and when their prey was exhausted, they would launch a galloping wolf attack and tear the enemy to shreds.
Of course, they were not invincible. At least when facing the Centaurs, these Wolf riders could only take a detour. The Centaurs that were better at running than them could shoot arrows as they ran, killing them bit by bit.
Seeing the Wolf riders rush up, the longbowmen began to retreat in an orderly manner. At the same time, the Barbarians rushed up from behind. Seeing the Wolf riders that were less than 30 meters away, the Barbarians grinned and rushed up.
"Flying axes!"
Sharp flying axes were thrown out from the Barbarians' hands. The wolf riders at the front were hit by the flying axes. Their bodies tilted, and they fell off their mounts. The riders at the back quickly dodged. The formation of the Wolf riders became even more messy.
While the Wolf riders were dodging, the Barbarians began to charge. The distance of 30 meters was covered in a flash. Before the Wolf riders could react, they had already met the Barbarians. Then, they saw a bright flash of an axe, and a large head flew a few meters into the air.
The Wolf riders used the speed of their mount wolves to sweep their scimitars. They could already imagine the scimitars tearing through armor, cutting through flesh, and causing blood to spurt out. Although there were many casualties, it was their turn to slaughter. Thinking of this, the Wolf riders couldn't help but lick their ferocious mouths. The sharp scimitars in their hands slashed down with even more force.
"Zap!"
An ear-piercing sound of metal rubbing against each other rang out. The scimitars hit the Barbarians' armor and brought out a series of sparks. Before they could react, a giant axe swept across and cut them in half.
The Wolf riders were thrown off their mounts and suffered heavy casualties. The Wolf riders at the back quickly dodged. While the longbowmen retreated and the Wolf riders and Barbarians were fighting, the Orc army began to quickly approach.
The Goblins and Kobolds were at the front. The Barbarians broke through the Wolf riders and directly charged in. If the Orc army was a piece of butter cheese, then the Barbarians were a heated table knife.
One by one, the barbarian warriors wearing full steel armor and driving large windmills rushed into the battle formation. A huge gap was torn open in the formation of the allied army of orcs. The pikemen were at the back of the formation, and the longbowmen were once again in formation and began to shoot at the allied army of orcs.
The Goblins and Kobolds that were already disrupted by the Barbarians began to flee. Large amounts of arrows rained down, and the vanguard formation began to collapse.
The Orcs didn't care about the cannon fodder that had already collapsed. They let some Gnolls, Earth Goblins, and Earth Goblins charge forward. The main force led the rest of the Gnolls, Earth Goblins, and Earth Goblins to go around the battlefield from the left flank and approached the Northern Citadel's formation.
Suhlen naturally noticed these people's movements. He ordered the spearmen to change direction.
Saron Fireblade led the army around the battlefield. He then roared and led the army toward the Orc army. The Shaman that followed the army raised his bone staff and chanted in an obscure language. A strange energy exploded from his body.
"Bloodthirst!"
"Group Haste!"
"Mental Stimulation!"
Rays of spiritual light enveloped the group of orc warriors. Their originally ugly faces became even more ferocious. Their eyes were blood-red, and their muscles bulged. Blue veins popped out.
Saron couldn't help but roar at the sky. Then, all the Orcs roared with him. The Orc army's morale was greatly boosted.
"Charge!"
"Kill those humans!"
Saron pulled out his war sword and led the Orc army forward. At this time, all the formations were disrupted. After being buffed by Bloodthirst, the Orcs' minds were stimulated. The Orcs had lost their last shred of rationality. They all rushed forward with red eyes.
The Orc army's momentum made the spearmen a little restless. After all, these human soldiers didn't participate in many battles.
Suhlen sneered. He waved his hand, and beams of light rose up.
"All troops, raise your spirits!"
"Group Enchantment Weapons!"
"Raise Morale!"
The restless formation calmed down instantly. A wave of power surged out of their bodies. At the same time, their weapons flickered with light and became even sharper.
After Suhlen buffed the army, Hathaway started casting as well.
"Group Strength!"
"Group Bear's Endurance!"
"Group Cat's Grace!"
Beams of light flashed. The Orcs' bodies were filled with all kinds of buffs. They were now more than twice as strong as before.
After being buffed by Group Haste, the Orc army moved much faster. There was no formation at all. She swung her whip beautifully, and a red portal suddenly appeared in the air.
"Summon Demon!"
A tall figure appeared. It was a Vrock. Having just come to the prime material plane from the Abyss, the Vrock was very excited. It swung its heavy sword and cut down the Orc army around it. After summoning the Vrock, the portal didn't close. Soon, four figures walked out.
The four new demons were very excited. They roared as they faced the charging orc army. The sudden appearance of the five demons directly disrupted the orc army's rhythm. The demons who loved to fight were all experts in melee warfare. The surrounding gnolls and goblins were constantly being slaughtered.
However, even though the demons attracted some of the Orc army's firepower, more of the Orc army still charged at the humans. Soon, the Orc army was only 30 meters away.
The Orcs hurled their axes and javelins. The spearmen, who had been waiting for a long time, raised their tower shields. Three rows of 50 shields formed a solid defense.
The shields made of ankheg shells were abnormally tough. All the axes and javelins that hit them were deflected.
