The earth was shaking, and the sound of explosions covered all other sounds. Countless Orc soldiers were on and off the city walls. Outside the heavily damaged city walls, there were terrifying Dragon enemies. The wingless Low-Level Dragons and some Low-Level Dragonmen were constantly rushing towards the fortress. From time to time, the roars of Giant Dragons could be heard in the sky. Then, lightning, snow, and rain of fire would fall.
They were facing the most powerful of the three Demon King, the Evil Dragon Emperor's army.
The earth was flipped several times, and there were potholes everywhere. The soldiers on the city walls were shooting at the enemies with their ballistae. Under the fierce fire, the enemies were still climbing up the city walls. Then, hot molten iron suddenly gushed out from the city walls. Under the high temperature, the enemies fell from the city walls.
In the center of the fortress was a huge pillar that emitted a blue beam of light. Then, it spread out 100 meters in the air and formed a protective fan that protected the fortress from being destroyed by the Giant Dragons in the sky.
"Defend the fortress! Quick! Bring the Dragon Hunting Spear up! "
Zeba, who was riding on a Giant White Wolf, shouted. Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of falling from the sky. Then, there was a loud boom, and the ground shook. The Giant White Wolf under him roared. Everyone arched their backs and went back and forth between the city walls and the ground.
He raised his head and looked at the top of the sky. A few Giant Dragons flew past quickly. Outside the hazy barrier, the Giant Dragons were fiercely attacking.
"Lord Zeba! We can't defend for long. The gate is about to be breached. Retreat! "
At this moment, an Orc with long fangs ran over with a group of soldiers.
Behind Zeba was a huge gate. On the gate was a red magic crystal that was the size of a head. The magic barrier of the fortress was supported by it.
He looked at the red gem and frowned. He shouted, "We can't retreat now. We have to hold on until night time. There's only one fortress behind us. If we give up too early, the fortress won't be able to hold on for two days. Then, we'll all be trapped there with no way out."
Even though he shouted at the top of his lungs, it was still very soft in this battlefield.
Bru's face revealed a troubled expression. He lowered his head and gripped the steel hammer. Suddenly, his body trembled and he roared out.
"Okay! I'll defend the gate! Come with me! "
He led his men and rushed towards the iron gate.
This was the Orc's fortress. The Orc's fortress was built with thick iron and a layer of clay walls. If there were sparks within the walls, it meant that the enemy was about to break through the walls.
Zeba, who was standing in the fortress, saw that the walls were about to be breached, but the sun was still hanging high in the sky. There was still a long time before dusk.
These days were definitely the most difficult times he had ever been through.
"East! Defend the east! Dragon Hunters! Aim at the eastern wall! "
Zeba raised the axe in his hand and roared. His axe was not big, but its shape was very strange. The handle in the middle was longer than the blade, and at the top was a wolf's head with its mouth wide open.
The crossbowmen stationed in the center of the fortress immediately turned the machine. The gears turned and the chains moved. They aimed at the direction Zeba pointed.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang that sounded like a landslide. The direction they were aiming at suddenly collapsed. A corner of the city wall was smashed into pieces by a horned dragon. The orc soldiers and the pieces of the city wall fell together. The Earth Dragon stuck its head in and roared while spewing brown poisonous gas that corroded the surrounding stone bricks.
"Shoot!"
Zeba roared. Suddenly, there was a terrifying sound of air being pierced. Countless black iron arrows flew out and pierced the horned dragon's head and the nearby city wall into a porcupine. The surrounding orc soldiers quickly used ropes to hold it in place. However, the horned dragon's corpse suddenly moved. Its huge head was suddenly broken open, and some scavenger dragons covered in blood rushed in.
"Block the gap! Wizards! Heal the poisoned wounded. They can still fight! " When he said this, Zeba only felt a piercing pain. This was a very tragic battle, and the ones who won in the end were definitely not the orcs.
But he had to defend this place. This was a debt he owed. He looked at the soldiers carrying the wounded and the orcs lying on the stretchers. Their faces were filled with pain. It was he who pushed them into this abyss. It was he who instigated the Beast Emperor Faction and caused another civil war among the orcs. With the help of external forces, they defeated the Orc King. However, the war with the orcs was not over. Victory in the civil war came with a price.
Then he saw the orcs holding the horses in the stable. "Let go of those damn horses! They are useless now. There will be no more supplies! Logistics people, pick up your weapons or carry the wounded! "
After that, Zeba heard another explosion. Another hole appeared on the other side of the wall …
He had never fought such a tiring battle before. Although he had always dragged his tired body and held on, this time, his spirit could not hold on any longer.
"General Zeba! The west side of the city cannot be defended! A large number of Dragonians! A large number of Dragonians are climbing up! "
"The city gate is cracked open! We cannot hold on any longer! "
There was more and more bad news. The situation was getting worse and worse. Zeba turned around and looked at the red gem. There were also cracks on it.
"Even you can't hold on?"
Zeba gritted his teeth. He suddenly rode on the white wolf and raised his weapon.
"Wolf riders! It is time. Follow me to the city wall! "
He roared, and at the same time, the giant white wolf also howled. Hundreds of wolf riders followed Zeba and rushed up the city wall. The view here was wide, and the scene was even more hopeless. The enemy covered the horizon in the distance, and the sky was also covered with dense black dots.
However, he did not care so much. He only needed to defend until the sun went down.
However, the sun was still in the sky. How much time had passed? Was it an hour?
He could not be sure. Every second was as long as a year.
"Kill!! Kill!! "
Zeba shouted hoarsely. He raised his axe and aimed at the enemy with the sharp tip of the wolf head. Suddenly, the blade of the axe flashed, and a terrifying energy beam was fired, instantly blasting the few Dragonians who had climbed up the city wall into pieces of meat.
It was very powerful and suitable for orcs like him who did not have a strong physical body.
The giant wolf pounced on the enemy and bit the throat of the enemy, shaking its head wildly. The Wolf Cavalry kept circling the circular fortress walls, killing the endless number of enemies. They kept popping out, so many that it made people despair.
Zeba didn't know how long he could last, but he didn't stop. However, at this moment, the door was broken through with a bang. A black dragon rushed in. Its black scales were shining, and then it spat out a terrible corrosive black flame.
The smell of sulfur permeated the entire fortress. Zeba looked down and saw Bru wielding a steel hammer. He struck the Black Dragon's head with the hammer, then jumped onto the dragon's head and struck it.
However, the dragon's scales were very strong. The black dragon swung its head and threw him out. Then, an endless stream of orc soldiers rushed up. However, they were all burned by the black flames. Their skin and muscles were instantly burned into thin air. How come these people did not even have armor?
Zeba quickly thought of this question. They were new recruits and did not have time to equip themselves before they came to the battlefield. Zeba arranged them around Blue. He thought that was the safest place.
However, at this moment, there was a loud bang that made Zeba's ears ring. An explosion occurred beside him, and he was sent flying. The giant white wolf howled and fell under the fortress together.
Zeba opened his eyes and saw a huge rock smashing towards his face. He quickly rolled to the side a few times to avoid the huge rock. He stood up and found that his body was covered with a layer of black armor.
That is?!
The armor seemed to have a life of its own and was squirming.
Yes, that was the armor of the Orc King Will Thearch!
He did not think much about it. He must have done something secretly. He looked up and saw the white wolf lying in a pool of blood.
At that moment, he felt a storm blow past and his world temporarily lost its sound.
It was dead. Its eyes were closed as it fell in front of him.
Zeba gritted his teeth. He treated it as his friend. It had protected him countless times. It was the most loyal friend in the world.
"Goodbye, friend."
He held back his tears, turned around, picked up the axe blade on the ground, and rushed to the gate.
Next to the gate, Blue was bitten by the huge black dragon. He held the dragon's upper and lower jaws with both hands, but he could not hold on for long. At this moment, a magic energy bomb bombarded the black dragon's eyes. It loosened its mouth and howled. Blue was thrown out again.
This time, he stood up and was ready to rush to the black dragon.
He was like a bull that only knew how to charge forward.
However, a hand grabbed him and then two huge figures rushed to the gate. They blocked the gate with their bodies and wanted to push the black dragon out. It was the Trolls! Those guys who handed the ammunition under the city wall!
"Blue! You retreat! I want you to bring the news back. We can't hold on for another day. At most, we can hold on until tomorrow morning. "
It was Zeba, the person he admired the most.
"Lord Zeba! If you don't go, I won't go! "
"I'll go immediately! But I have to evacuate my men. You go back immediately and call for reinforcements. Go! "
Blue was stunned. This time, he seemed to have seen through Zeba's lie.
"Lord Zeba! You want to stay here, right? "
Zeba didn't know how to answer this question. He didn't expect this hothead to see through his lie. He always fell for this kind of trick.
The Trolls who were guarding the gate wailed. A large piece of their flesh was torn off by the black dragon. They couldn't hold on for long.
"Take Blue and leave!"
Zeba shouted behind him, but there weren't many healthy soldiers around. Blue immediately grabbed his hand.
"I won't go! I'm not afraid of death! I'm only afraid of becoming a coward! "
"This isn't a matter of being a coward! Idiot! Don't you understand? This is the price. "
"I don't understand what the price is! I don't understand. I know my brain isn't good, but I know that only you can lead the Beastmen, Lord Zeba. "
He shouted stubbornly.
Zeba sighed and closed his eyes. There seemed to be a hole in the magic crystal in the sky. Occasionally, stray bullets would fly in, but fortunately, they didn't hit them.
"Blue, I want to be honest with you. I'm not as brave as you think. I'm just a lucky ordinary person. I can't even beat a normal Beastman warrior. I can only rely on this magic weapon."
Zeba slashed the weapon into the ground. From the depth of the slash, it could be seen that his strength was very weak.
"A person like me can't lead the Beastmen. The Beastmen need a strong person to lead them. No matter in the past or in the future, even if I bite the bullet and shamelessly sit in that position, one day in the future, when my luck runs out, I'll be easily killed by a young challenger. That's what I'm most afraid of. You'll find out that I'm just a paper tiger. Blue, I'm a coward. "
Blue clenched his teeth and cried. He didn't know what to say. His mouth kept twitching.
"But! You can, you can be the commander. You have the ability. You have a kind heart. You will empathize with your subordinates and pity the weak. If I'm a civilian, I'll want you to be the commander. "
Zeba patted his shoulder and Blue lowered his head.
"Finally, child, I'll give you my last advice. Too much strength is easy to break. Your stubbornness will give you strength, but it will also put you in a desperate situation. I believe that one day you'll become the great Beastman commander. For this, you have to live. "
"Lord Zeba, I …"
"Go!"
Zeba picked up his weapon and turned around. Bru cried as he took a deep breath. He lowered his head as he stood up and ran towards the red gemstone. Suddenly, a blue teleportation portal opened up at the bottom of the gemstone. His figure disappeared into the portal in an instant.
Zeba sighed in relief. He felt his body was much more relaxed. The fatigue on his body also lessened a lot. Perhaps this was the relaxation after seeing life and death.
He raised his weapon and rushed towards the black dragon …
