The tornadoes continued to wreak havoc. Every second, an Orc would be sucked into them and sliced to pieces by the wind blades. The formation of the Orc army was shaken.
None of the Orcs could resist the eight tornadoes. Some of the nearby Orcs were even lifted up to a hundred meters into the air before being thrown back down. Even if the Orcs had strong bodies, they were still smashed into a pile of minced meat at such a high altitude.
The Orc Chieftain's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw the tornadoes wreaking havoc among the Orc army. However, there was nothing he could do. Even though the Shamans were quite strong, they had no way to defend against such large-scale spells.
A strong gust of wind blew across the army of Beastmen. The army of Beastmen that had been charging forward ferociously suddenly fell into chaos. The Gnolls, Earth Goblins, and Earth Goblins among the army of Beastmen had completely lost their minds. Even the Beastmen were panicking helplessly when they saw the rain of arrows from the longbowmen of North Town City.
The pressure on the spear formation was greatly reduced. Under Suhlen's command, the Orcs pushed forward with their shields. They would thrust forward with every step they took. Every step they took would leave a large number of Orcs injured or killed. The Orc army's formation was in complete disarray under the effect of the Tornado Dragon. The Orc army had no choice but to back off.
The Orc Chieftain's formation was densely packed. The Warriors were using the range of their spears to suppress the Orcs. The tall Tower Shields kept the Orcs' attacks at bay. The Orcs were used to fighting in a disorganized formation. However, their individual strength was completely useless against the Orc Chieftain's formation.
Their disorganized formation meant they would have to face two or more spears at the same time! The Orcs had no advantage against the Orcs in a battle like this.
Even though they had the advantage of their physique, the production level of this era was not high enough for them to equip themselves with high-quality armor. This meant that when they were only wearing leather armor, the advantage of their physique would be greatly suppressed when facing the sharp spears of the Northguard City's infantry.
The fact that the Orc army did not fall apart while facing the tornado was already impressive. Suhlen did not get carried away and ask the soldiers of the Northern Fortress City to launch a counterattack. Once they launched a counterattack, the infantry formation would scatter. It would be fine if the Orc army fell apart and ran away, but if the Orc army regrouped and launched a counterattack, the soldiers of the Northern Fortress City would lose their advantage.
Although the orc army's vanguard had collapsed, the Orc Chieftain was still there. Although the middle of the orc army was hit by the tornado, they still managed to maintain their formation. The soldiers of Northern Town City drove the orc vanguard forward, wanting them to charge into the enemy formation.
The Wind Dragon's Heavenly Spiral wreaked havoc. The Gnolls, Earth Spirit Bears, and Goblins that served as auxiliary troops had completely collapsed. The remaining Orcs also lost the courage to resist and scattered in all directions. For a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with scattered Orc soldiers.
Faced with this situation, the Orc Chieftain made a prompt decision. He ordered the Orc soldiers to kill the scattered Orcs that were charging into the formation. After the Wind Dragon's Heavenly Spiral wreaked havoc for a while, it finally ran out of energy and slowly dissipated. The Orc Chieftain let out a sigh of relief when he saw this.
If the Wind Dragon's Heavenly Spiral continued to wreak havoc, there would be no point in fighting this battle. Although the Wind Dragon's Heavenly Spiral did not last for long, only around ten minutes, the spell had killed at least a few thousand Orcs. The number of Orcs that were injured was uncountable.
The Northern Fortress City's army kept pushing forward. Large numbers of scattered Orcs were being driven away by the Northern Fortress City's army. The longbowmen had stopped shooting. They were recovering their strength.
The Shaman Sorcerer's face turned serious when he saw the Orc army crumbling on the battlefield. He quickly cast another spell. The awkward voice sounded again. A wild energy began to spread. The scattered Orc army was shrouded by the energy. Their muscles began to swell, and their fangs protruded from their mouths. Their eyes were bloodshot.
"Mass Bloodlust Frenzy!"
Bloodlust Frenzy was a deadly spell on the battlefield. It would unleash the potential of the target and awaken the bestial nature hidden deep in their consciousness. It was the same as a Berserker's Berserk. The battlefield was huge. The Orc Shaman Sorcerer had to cast Mass Bloodlust Frenzy together to barely cover the entire Orc army.
Under the effect of Bloodthirsty Berserk, the orcs who had already lost their courage stopped running away. Berserk Berserk reduced their rationality to the lowest level. Their bestial instincts took over their consciousness. A powerful force emerged from their bodies, making their hearts swell even more. Their sense of pain was reduced to the lowest level.
"Roar!"
An angry roar ignited the murderous intent in the Orcs' hearts. Including the gnolls, goblins, and bugbears, all the Orcs had forgotten their fear. They roared and charged at the Northern Fortress City's infantry again.
"Stop!"
"Shields!"
"Defensive formation!"
Suhlen's face changed when he sensed the Berserk Aura. He immediately ordered the infantry to stop. The well-trained infantry immediately stopped moving forward. Tall tower shields slammed into the ground. Sharp spears were raised. Against the Orcs' counterattack, the Northern Fortress City's infantry immediately completed their defense.
"Archers!"
"Thirty meters in front, fire at once!"
The archers following closely behind the spear formation immediately began to fire in unison. A rain of arrows rose from the infantry formation and fell towards the orcs.
The berserk Beastmen didn't even try to dodge the arrows. They braved the rain of arrows and charged towards the infantry formation. Blood and flesh flew everywhere. These Beastmen had become fearless. These monsters that had no sense of reason and no sense of pain madly charged towards the infantry formation. For a moment, the pressure on the frontline of the infantry formation increased greatly.
"Bursting Fireball!"
"Painful Lash!"
"Summon Demon!"
"Chain Lightning!"
Seeing this, Kris Hathaway ordered Karina to cast spells at the Orc army.
Huge flames rose from the Orc army and burned the surrounding Orcs into charcoal. A blood red dimensional door opened. A tall Vrock rushed out, followed by four flaming demons.
As soon as they appeared in the Orc army, the demons began to kill in excitement. The Berserk Orcs did not show any weakness. They roared and charged forward.
Elemental energy surged. In an instant, a large number of Orcs were killed by magic. However, even more Orcs charged forward fearlessly. The Vrock started a massacre in the Orc army. However, in just a few minutes, it was overwhelmed by the Orc army. The four flaming demons had already self-detonated.
However, although a few demons died, they also helped Northern Fortress City hold back a large number of Orcs. The Northern Fortress City's army also stubbornly held on with the help of the Spellcasters. Although they suffered heavy casualties, the Northern Fortress City's soldiers still formed an iron wall.
The orcs' mount wolf riders also joined the battle. These mount wolf riders had more powerful charging power, and they didn't care about casualties at all as they charged to their deaths.
Seeing this situation, Suhlen picked up the Wind Dragon Flag again. The Wind Dragon Spiral was still on cooldown, so Suhlen directly summoned a Tornado.
Two tornadoes appeared on the battlefield once again. The fierce wind swept up a cloud of dust and covered the sky. This time, Suhlen didn't control the tornadoes to cause great damage. Instead, he raised a cloud of dust. In an instant, the world was covered in dust and sand. The Orc army was instantly shrouded in dust.
Many Orcs were suddenly blown into their eyes by the wind and involuntarily closed their eyes. The momentum of their charge was instantly interrupted. Many Orcs were blinded by the wind and sand, unable to distinguish their direction. The thick smell of blood spread with the wind and sand. The nauseating smell was swept up. Piles of corpses covered the battlefield. In an instant, this place looked like hell on earth!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Northern Fortress City's defensive army suddenly activated. The second row of soldiers immediately rushed forward and stabbed the Orc soldiers blinded by the wind to death with their sharp spears. These Orc soldiers couldn't resist at all. With a single charge, the Orc army's counterattack was instantly interrupted. The formation was stabilized once again.
The two tornadoes had a limited range after all. More Orcs rushed forward with bloodshot eyes. Even though they suffered heavy casualties, the Orcs didn't retreat. There had to be a winner in this war. Either victory or death.
In the eyes of the Orc Commander, Northern Fortress City would be able to catch a breather after this war. If they couldn't take Northern Fortress City after such heavy casualties, their Fireblade Tribe might not have another chance next time. After all, the humans had only been in this wasteland for a year.
It only took a year for Northern Battlefront City to develop to such an extent. If the beastmen still looked down on the humans before the war, they were now terrified of them.
In such a short period of time, they were able to hold off the orc army with less than a fifth of their orcs' numbers, causing such a large number of casualties. If the orcs attacked again, they might not be able to withstand such a large number of casualties.
With Northern Fortress City's development speed, if they couldn't defeat Northern Fortress City in one go, everything would be meaningless. The next time the Orcs attacked, the Northern Fortress City would take the initiative to attack the Orc Tribe.
Suhlen looked at the strategic map. The Centaur army had finally circled behind the Orcs. The Centaurs had gathered all their youths and began to charge from behind the Orc army. The Centaurs, who had suffered heavy casualties, began to take revenge on their enemies.
The heavy hoofbeats were like muffled thunder. The Centaurs quickly crossed the distance of ten kilometers. There were three thousand Centaurs, and many of them were females.
The Centaurs didn't give the Orcs any chance to retaliate. The Orcs who had fallen into a bloodthirsty frenzy had lost all rationality. Even the Orc Commander couldn't command them to turn around and attack the Centaurs.
A group of Centaur Warriors wielding spears, two-handed axes, and longbows rushed over like a flood. Their attack was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, destroying the Beastmen's resistance like crushing dry weeds.
