Along with the sound of the horn, the storm wolf warriors parted to the sides. More than a hundred tall mountain giants lined up in a row, like a wave that was almost a thousand meters long. Each of them held a round, polished stone in their hands. Sunier felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She could only continue to observe in silence.
The mountain giants stopped about eight hundred meters away from Wild Willow City. At this distance, only Sunier, Athena, and a few other elves could deal damage to the enemy. Since the enemy's intentions were still unknown, they didn't want to waste their energy.
The sound of the beastmen's horn suddenly changed. The row of mountain giants began to charge forward at the same time. They were tall and had large strides. In the blink of an eye, they were already fifty to sixty meters away. Using the momentum, they threw the stones in their hands.
Boulders flew through the air in heavy and ferocious trajectories, falling towards Wild Willow City. The elves were already used to this kind of scene, so their expressions were very relaxed. They estimated the landing point of the boulders and began to evade them. Clusters of dense vines grew out of the ground, covering the city wall layer after layer to reduce the damage caused by the boulders.
At this moment, a shocking scene appeared. Most of the huge stones exploded into pieces of various sizes before they even hit the ground. Then, a black shadow rolled down from the side.
Some elves were hit by the stones that suddenly exploded and bled. Before they could regain their senses, they suddenly saw an ugly and ferocious face under them. Then, a bright light from a sword covered everything.
There was a stark contrast between those black shadows and the Gale Wolf Warriors outside the city. Most of the Gale Wolf Warriors were around 1.8 to 1.9 meters tall. They had the backs of tigers and the waists of bears, and they looked very sturdy. Those black shadows, on the other hand, were only 1.4 to 1.5 meters tall. They looked very short and small. Not to mention the Gale Wolf Warriors, they were even much smaller than the elves. The Gale Wolf Warriors were known for their strength and ferocity. It was hard to tell how strong those black shadows were, but their movement speed was extremely fast. They were like a group of fleeting ghosts mixed in with the elves.
The moment these black shadows landed, the Ancient Tree of Life, which had been activated a long time ago, reacted immediately. Vines with sharp barbs drilled out from the ground and rolled towards the black shadows. The black shadows relied on their high speed to avoid getting entangled with living plants. They weaved in and out of the crowd of elves. Every time a sword flashed, an elf would fall into a pool of blood.
"Bloodthirsty Warriors! It's the Great Shaman Yuridin!! "Blanche screamed.
Just as Sunier was about to say something, she suddenly felt a sense of danger. From the corner of her eyes, she saw thousands of thunderbirds quietly swooping down from the sky. It was too late to say anything. Sunier roared angrily and pushed Athena and Blanche away with her arms. She also jumped off the city wall.
If Sunier's reaction had been half a second slower, the consequences would have been unimaginable. The moment she jumped off the city wall, countless bolts of lightning had already poured down from the sky and gathered at the spot where she stood, forming a semi-circular ball of light about seven or eight meters in diameter. Then, with a loud bang, the explosion sent smoke and debris dozens of meters into the air. The closest elves were swallowed by the lightning and disappeared without a trace. The dozens of elves further away were also sent flying. Some were badly mutilated, some had their limbs torn apart, and the nearby vines were swept away, revealing the damaged city wall. At the center of the explosion, there was a black hole that was several meters deep. Cracks extended outwards, and the widest crack was almost a foot wide. If the same attack were to happen again, this part of the city wall would probably collapse on the spot.
Blanche and Athena's strength was not bad. They adjusted their bodies by rolling and landed steadily on the ground. However, their faces were filled with shock. Although they were below the city wall and could not see the damage, the explosion was so powerful that it made their eardrums hurt. It was easy to imagine what would have happened to them if they were still standing on the city wall.
Looking down from the sky, one could clearly see a strand of lush green emerging from the base of Wild Willow City. Very quickly, the entire city was dyed green. Countless tall vines extended into the sky, waving and swaying, completely covering the inside. It could even be said that Wild Willow City had already disappeared, and this place had become an incomparably dense forest.
The Ancient Tree of Life was fully activated, but it was not much of a threat to the orc warriors outside. At most, it would make them unable to find a target to attack. However, for the bloodthirsty warriors inside Wild Willow City, the consequences were fatal. Their range of activity was getting smaller and smaller. Under the situation where the entire city was changing, even if they were fast, they still needed space to protect themselves. In just a few breaths, all the bloodthirsty warriors were entangled by the omnipresent vines. They were like pitiful silkworms. No matter how hard they screamed and struggled, they could not break free at all.
In fact, the bloodthirsty warriors were very elite orcs. They were a small team with special forces. Their individual combat strength was very high. The weakest of them was equivalent to a 6th or 7th grade human fighter. However, in the face of the Treant Arrows that covered the entire city, they could only become caged birds.
The thousands of thunderbirds continued to circle, constantly releasing lightning at the same place. As soon as the vines grew out, they were torn to pieces by the lightning. Then, they grew out again and were torn to pieces again. Many elves noticed the intentions of the orcs and shot arrows into the sky through the gaps between the vines. However, the thunderbirds were 9th grade magical beasts after all. It was hard to imagine that an elf who had just learned archery could inflict heavy damage to a thunderbird. The weapons in the hands of the elves were not the legendary firearms that could be used by anyone.
One after another, thunderbirds fell from the sky. Those were the results of the high-grade elves. Unfortunately, for the thousands of thunderbirds, this rate of loss was completely bearable. The thunderbirds continued to circle and release lightning, trying to blast a hole in the city wall.
Outside the city, countless storm wolf warriors were running forward silently. Hundreds of mountain giants were following behind them. In their hands, there was an iron rod that was about five meters long and as thick as a human's thigh. The mountain giants were not only archers. Their close combat ability was not inferior to the storm wolf warriors. It could even be said that if they started killing each other, the hundreds of mountain giants could smash thousands of storm wolf warriors into meat paste!
Perhaps they were angered by Sunier's response, or perhaps this was the fighting style of the orc commanders. As soon as the battle began, the orcs launched an all-out attack without holding back.
There was a reason for the two-hour agreement. If the orcs couldn't take down the city in two hours, there would be no point in continuing the battle. It would only cause more casualties!
At this time, a fierce and strange magic fluctuation came from the distance. A layer of light green halo appeared on the bodies of all the Beastman Warriors, including the Bloodthirsty Warriors. The vines binding them let out an inaudible but audible hiss and quickly retracted. The pitiful Bloodthirsty Warriors who had been like caged birds had all regained their freedom.
Some elves were responsible for killing the bloodthirsty warriors. They only felt a wave of magic wave, and then the vines retracted. Before they could react, the bloodthirsty warriors had already swung their scimitars.
"Such a large area of soul fire …" Athena felt bitter in her mouth. She now believed Blanche's warning. It was indeed Great Shaman Yuridin who came!
The magic that the orc shamans mastered belonged to the category of soul magic. Compared to other types of magic, the system of soul magic was very weak and monotonous. It had almost no offensive magic, and the few defensive spells it had were also very pitiful. Other than communicating with magical beasts, the shamans could also make their warriors crazier and more ferocious. Of course, from a strategic point of view, the shamans were no less useful than traditional mages. This was because they could create a large group of crazy warriors who could still wield their weapons even if their bones were exposed.
Soul fire could increase the combat power of the orcs in all aspects. Speed, strength, resistance, magic resistance, stamina, and so on would all be greatly improved. However, this kind of magic also had a side effect. The orcs who were affected by the soul fire would be listless for a long time because their life force would be damaged. The duration of this magic was very short. Even if Great Shaman Yuridin personally cast it, it would be far less than two hours.
However, this kind of magic was surprisingly effective against the Ancient Tree of Life! The Ancient Tree of Life didn't have any intelligence. It only attacked based on its instincts. When it came into contact with the orc warriors and felt its life force burning, it would immediately retreat. This was the instinct of life!
As the Ancient Tree of Life retreated, the situation immediately reversed. The bloodthirsty warriors were like fish in water in Wild Willow City. They swam everywhere, and the waving vines became obstacles for the elves. They couldn't lock onto the enemy's position. When they saw a figure flash, they immediately drew their longbows. However, the figure disappeared soon after. In another flash, the bloodthirsty warriors suddenly appeared in front of them and raised their shiny scimitars.
Around Wild Willow City, as well as inside the city, there were nearly ten thousand tall ancient trees. The trees were covered with nuts of all sizes. Even though it was winter, the nuts would not fall off. The small ones weighed around ten kilograms, while the big ones weighed more than a hundred kilograms. The vines wrapped around the trees began to move. They wrapped around the nuts and shook their roots incessantly, as if they were soybean sprouts swaying in the wind. Then, one nut after another flew into the sky like birds returning to the forest, drawing arcs in the air as they smashed towards the heads of the Storm Wolf warriors.
Countless elves hid in the vines. They didn't even care about the bloodthirsty warriors behind them. They desperately pulled their bowstrings and shot at the enemies in the air and on the ground. If you randomly chose a time to take a picture, you could see that the east side of Wild Willow City had become a giant sea urchin. Countless spikes pierced through the sky and covered the plains outside the east side of the city.
The Gale Wolf Warriors only raised their shields to block the falling nuts and arrows. They tried their best to move forward. From time to time, a warrior would be shot down or smashed to the ground. However, the rest of the warriors didn't seem to see anything. They didn't hesitate to step on the bodies of their comrades or stomp them into corpses and continue to charge forward.
Equipment played a decisive role. Unless they were ambushed by a Great Elf, the orc warriors wouldn't be easily injured. How many elves could pierce through shields and armor with a single arrow? In Wild Willow City, there were pitifully few Great Elves.
The elves in other parts of the city heard the alarm in the east side of the city and rushed over to help. When Blanche led the elves to Wild Willow City, the total number of elves in the city had reached more than seven thousand. They already had the ability to adjust their tactics.
However, as soon as the elves left their defensive area, a large number of orc warriors appeared in the north, south, and west of Wild Willow City. However, they were all infantry. Yuridin's mission was to support the war zone and take down Wild Willow City, not to launch an attack alone. The reason he let the ragtag army attack later was to consider his own mana. Casting Soul Fire on these several thousand Gale Wolf Warriors was already his limit. If those orc warriors who didn't have much combat power were added to the mix, there would only be one result. The spell would fail and he would become a dried corpse.
The elves' counterattack was very sharp. Unfortunately, it was too short. The Gale Wolf Warriors didn't use any tactics to dodge. They just charged forward together. With the speed of the Gale Wolf Warriors, it would only take them a dozen seconds to cover a distance of seven hundred meters. How many arrows could an elf shoot in that time?!
Sunier only had time to give a few orders. She told the elves to kill the bloodthirsty warriors that were trapped, and then focus on killing the Thunderbirds in the sky. When she was about to give a third order, the Gale Wolf Warriors outside the city had already arrived.
With a loud bang, the city wall collapsed under the lightning released by the thunderbirds. Before the flying rubble could fall, the Gale Wolf Warriors had already rushed to the bottom of the city wall and poured in through the gap. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, as if they had already known that the city wall would collapse when they reached the bottom of the city wall. The Thunderbirds in the sky began to rise into the sky. Their mission was completed, and there was no need to waste any more energy.
Even the seemingly stupid Hill Giants were neatly divided into two rows. The front row continued to charge forward. When they were less than twenty meters away from Wild Willow City, they suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground. They threw away their iron rods and crossed their hands in front of them. The Hill Giants in the back row rushed over and stepped on their palms. Then, the Hill Giants who were kneeling on the ground stood up and threw their companions away.
More than fifty huge bodies rose from the ground like dark clouds and jumped onto the twenty meter tall city wall. This should be Yuridin's last resort. Even if the Thunderbirds couldn't destroy the city wall, these Hill Giants could easily tear apart the elves' defense line!
The Hill Giants were definitely a kind of tyrannical creatures. It was only because they were too stupid that they were looked down upon. However, their fighting strength was not to be underestimated. It was easy to imagine what kind of result would be if more than fifty tenth grade powerhouses suddenly infiltrated the elves' defense line.
It only took a total of thirty seconds to decide the outcome of the battle. It could already be described as fast as lightning!
Every single elf was pulling their bowstrings with all their might. Within thirty seconds, not many of the elves were injured, because only the bloodthirsty warriors who had infiltrated their ranks were able to inflict any damage to them. Furthermore, their results were quite impressive. More than a hundred Thunderbirds fell from the sky, and more than three hundred Gale Wolf Knights, who were armed to the teeth, fell into pools of blood or were trampled into meat paste by their companions. To achieve such a result in less than thirty seconds was something to be proud of, even on the battlefield of large armies.
Unfortunately, this was the result of the elves sacrificing all their advantages! Moreover, their efforts couldn't stop the Orcs' lightning-fast battle. With the Thunderbirds quickly leaving the battlefield as the dividing line, the two sides were already entangled with each other.
The enemy was often your best alchemy stone. This saying seemed a bit pretentious and cruel, but the truth behind it was very true. Forza had been fighting hard with Solomon. In order to deal with Solomon's invincible and invincible magic army, he had to establish his own advantages and style. The so-called lightning-fast battle was completely forced by Solomon. When fighting against the magic army, losses were inevitable. Instead of losing in vain, it was better to desperately get close to the enemy and gain some capital. In this way, the enemy would have some scruples in the next battle, so that Solomon wouldn't be too bold and bully them too much.
Sunier's body trembled slightly. She wasn't afraid, but a kind of helplessness and powerlessness. For the first time, she experienced the feeling of not being punished by battle. This time, the Orcs had definitely sent an elite force, but the elves she could command were a motley crew. There were more than a thousand elves originally belonging to Wild Willow City, and nearly six thousand elves from various tribes under Blanche's command. There were too many people to command. Moreover, the enemy knew everything about Wild Willow City and had already made a plan before the battle. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to fight so quickly and smoothly. She didn't know anything about the enemy.
But in any case, the Orcs had broken through the defense line in almost the blink of an eye. This was an unbearable shame.
"Die!!" Sunier let out an angry roar. She pulled the longbow in her hand little by little and pointed it at the crack on the city wall. As for the Hill Giants who were dozens of meters away from her, she didn't even bother to look at them.
Athena covered her ears while retreating. Blanche had heard Athena talk about this before, so she also covered her ears and followed behind Athena.
Sunier finally pulled the bowstring into a full moon. She paused for a moment, and the arrow left her hand. A sharp sound that could almost tear one's eardrums suddenly sounded in the sky. Then, a faint black light flew past the Hill Giants and headed straight for the gap in the city wall. There seemed to be an inexplicable and irresistible force around the arrow, and it instantly twisted the Hill Giants into pieces of flesh and blood. Wherever the arrow flew, blood would spurt out, and the flourishing vegetation would be torn into pieces.
"One more arrow." In the middle of the Orcs' battle formation, a somewhat thin young Orc said faintly. His appearance was a bit strange, and his appearance and temperament were different from the other Orcs. He was also holding a horn that was almost as tall as him.
"She grew very fast, so we should have gotten rid of her long ago." Another voice came from a wide chair.
"Haha …" The young Orc laughed and turned to look at the Orc warrior beside him. The Orc warrior was missing a right arm, and his body was covered in blood. It was the warrior who was shot by Sunier. "You saw her clearly?"
"Yes, sir." The Orc warrior's condition was very weak, but his body was still straight.
"We will catch her." The young Orc paused. "After I have played with her enough, I will give her to you. She will be your slave for the rest of her life, and even your children in the future … Hehe."
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded. "Sorry, she belongs to me."
