Seeing the Centaur's action, Su Lun was also surprised. Only a Centaur could do such a trick. Even if there were humans who could do it, there were only a few who could do it. Most people would be directly thrown off in the extreme speed, not to mention shooting arrows at this time.
Their racial talent was something no other race could compare to.
After a few waves of arrow rain, the wolf riders were completely scattered. They were not scattered in the first place, so after being caught off guard, they began to run. However, the centaurs would not let these orcs go.
The hatred between them and the orcs was a life and death struggle. Suhlen watched as the centaurs used all kinds of methods to slowly wipe out the wolf riders in front of them. Other than the ones that ran away in advance, the rest all died on the land outside the city. He believed that with the help of the orcs' flesh and blood, the plants on that land would flourish even more next year.
After clearing out the wolf riders, Mihien did not return to the city. Instead, he waved at Suhlen from afar, and the centaurs left in another direction.
The centaurs were heading towards Mirror Lake City, which would be their supply area.
After the centaurs took care of the wolf riders, no other orcs came to fight. In the evening, the orc army finally arrived.
The army of more than 40 thousand people was a huge black mass. It was a perfect example of the saying, "Ten thousand people is endless." The army did not rush to attack just because the wolf riders had failed. After arriving, the army began to set up camp. After seeing the army on guard, Suhlen gave up on the idea of attacking before they settled down.
This army was very vigilant against the northern city. They did not let their guard down just because they outnumbered the northern city by a few times. Suhlen watched for a while. After seeing that there was no opportunity to attack, he arranged for people to be on guard and left the city wall.
The night was dark, and the empty wilderness was very quiet. The stars were shining in the sky. The northern city and the orc army did not do anything this night, but both sides knew that this was only the last bit of peace before the war.
Suhlen slept very well at night. Hathaway, Kris, Alex, and Phyllis were all there.
Early the next morning, the orcs' attack began.
The Orc army did not charge forward immediately. Instead, they sent a large number of Goblins and Kobolds as cannon fodder. These monsters were like weeds in the wilderness. The Orcs could gather a large number of monsters as cannon fodder as they advanced. These Goblins and Kobolds were forced to rush towards the city wall under the supervision of the Orc army.
The Humans guarding the city walls began to fire arrows. Suhlen was very clear about the Beastmen's intentions. They were trying to deplete the city's defensive resources. Suhlen didn't care about this. After all, the Northern Citadel had plenty of war resources. Even if they weren't enough, he could still transfer more from the underground world through the teleportation formation.
"Archers, ready!"
Seeing a large number of enemies approaching, the messengers quickly passed down the order, and all the archers began to draw their bows.
"Eighty meters ahead, shoot back and cover the area with a rain of arrows!"
"Bang!"
The bowstring vibrated, and countless arrows flew up like a dark cloud. After reaching the highest point, they turned around and fell, hitting countless enemies who were charging.
Sieges were the cruelest battles. There weren't many battle formations here, and the Beastmen couldn't play this game. They could only rely on swarming the city like ants. The Beastmen sent out cannon fodder to deplete the Northern Citadel's strength. Suhlen didn't use too many tricks. He only had the Archers, Crossbowmen, and Militia take turns attacking.
There weren't many opportunities to farm experience so easily and safely. For the entire morning, the Beastmen only used cannon fodder to attack. After a wave of cannon fodder was defeated, they would regroup and send another wave. After this happened a few times, the morale of the cannon fodder was extremely low. They were unwilling to fight even when faced with the Orc army's machetes.
After seeing this, the Beastmen commanding the battle had no choice but to stop. In the afternoon, the official siege finally began.
Thousands of Orc army began to push heavy siege weapons forward. Compared to the cannon fodder in the morning, this army finally put a lot of pressure on the Northern Citadel.
"Woo woo woo!"
A deep horn sounded, and the Orc Alliance Army swarmed forward like a tide. The catapults were loaded with huge rocks, and then slowly pulled open. When the arms of the catapults were pulled to the limit, the catapults suddenly launched. The millstone-sized rocks flew over a distance of more than 300 meters and smashed into the city wall.
"Bang!"
With a loud sound, the boulders shattered, and a dent appeared on the city wall. At the same time, more boulders fell on the city wall. Many soldiers were directly crushed by the boulders falling from the sky.
"Ballistae ready!"
Creaking sounds that made one's teeth ache sounded. Dozens of ballistae on the city wall were pulled open. Three meter long spears were installed on the ballistae like arrows.
"Light the fire."
The soldiers on the side tied the prepared materials to the ballistae and lit them up.
"Fire!"
Following the order, the soldiers on the side immediately pulled the trigger. With a muffled sound, three meter long bolts instantly flew out. These bolts were targeted at the catapults in the distance. Although this kind of heavy and crude looking catapult looked ugly, it was a very strong threat.
Dozens of ballistae fired at the same time. Although most of them did not hit the target, there were still a few bolts that hit the catapults hard. The three-meter long spears instantly pierced through the catapults, and the flames quickly burned.
The Beastmen army was not affected too much. They raised their simple shields and rushed to the bottom of the city wall. At this time, the city wall had become a bloody meat grinder. The Beastmen and Trolls rushed up the city wall crazily. The human spearmen, who had been prepared, immediately went up. As soon as the Beastmen showed their heads, the spearmen instantly pierced their vital points and they fell directly from the ladder.
The high-level Gnolls shuttled through the army. They were agile. Although they did not have the strength of the Beastmen, their agile bodies allowed them to dodge more attacks.
These agile high-level Gnolls were very fast. After a few jumps, they could climb up the city wall and directly pounce on the human defenders.
A spearman instantly stabbed out with his spear and crushed the throat of an Beastman who had just climbed up the city wall. Before he could retract his spear, a black shadow suddenly rushed over. The next second, a cold light flashed. The spearman covered his throat with both hands and fell down powerlessly. Before the black shadow could get up, a soldier beside him stabbed out with his spear. After countless training, these soldiers had turned stabbing into instinct. A phantom appeared, and the high-level Gnoll felt a sharp pain in his heart. The next second, he fell into endless darkness.
"Fireball!"
A fireball suddenly flew up from the bottom of the city wall and smashed hard on the city wall. Boom! A muffled explosion sounded, and a gap was instantly blasted open on the city wall. A few nearby soldiers were blown far away.
Suhlen's eyes were cold. He looked at the Beastman shaman a few hundred meters below the city wall. He reached out and grabbed a spear from the side. Lightning flashed, and there were constantly lightning snakes swimming on the spear. Suhlen raised the spear and threw it directly at the Beastman shaman a few hundred meters away.
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. The Beastman shaman who was about to continue casting looked up as if he sensed something. Then, his chest was instantly pierced by a spear. A large amount of lightning power exploded in an instant, and the Beastman shaman was directly electrocuted into a pile of charcoal.
As Suhlen made his move, the spellcasters on both sides also began to move. A cold aura gathered in the sky. Hathaway's loose wizard robe fluttered. She raised her magic staff and pointed it directly in front of her.
[Ice Storm! (Spell Maximization + Spell Level Up)]
In front of the city wall, a huge ice vortex with a diameter of 50 meters appeared. Countless ice blades appeared and spun rapidly. The moment they appeared, the blue ice blades were dyed red by blood. The entire ice storm turned red in an instant. The enemy soldiers who were within the range of the ice storm were instantly cut into pieces by countless ice blades.
When the surrounding Beastman army saw this, they all began to dodge. However, before they could do so, the ice storm suddenly expanded in all directions. Countless ice islands spun and flew outwards. Everywhere it passed, there were corpses everywhere.
[Chain of Fireballs!]
Karina snapped her fingers, and the surrounding temperature suddenly increased by a dozen degrees. In the next second, five football-sized fireballs appeared. As she pointed lightly, the fireballs instantly flew towards the dense crowd below the city wall.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions sounded. A large number of Beastman army soldiers were blown to pieces by the fireballs. The shockwaves rolled. The Beastmen, Gnolls, and Trolls that were within five meters of the explosion were directly burned into charcoal.
Seeing this, the Beastman shamans continued to cast spells to attack. Lightning, ice, fire, all kinds of spells were cast one after another. The number of casualties on both sides increased rapidly.
"Group Haste!"
"Group Elemental Resistance!"
"Group Bear's Endurance!"
"Raise your spirits!"
.....
Beams of light rose from Suhlen and Hathaway. The light quickly spread and soon covered the entire city wall. After the buffs, the combat power of the Northern Battlefront City soldiers was greatly increased. Their morale was boosted, and they all became braver and better at fighting.
Suhlen even saw a Barbarian Berserker jump up with a giant axe and split a football-sized fireball in half. The collapsed fireball scattered, and the flames engulfed him. However, when it reached him, it was quickly extinguished. A beam of light flashed, and it didn't cause any damage.
The Northern Battlefront City soldiers' strength was greatly increased. The Beastman army that was attacking continuously was instantly stunned. Before this, they could still climb up the city wall. However, after this wave of attacks, they were all chased down. After seeing this, the Beastman commander could only temporarily stop the attack.
The tide-like army slowly retreated, leaving behind a ground full of corpses.
