Siegrud himself came to the front to oversee the battle

He has enough force to deal with possible decapitation tactics from the enemy

This has given the whole army a very strong boost

The entire battlefield looked like a busy construction site, and countless people were working on the fortifications called the battlefield, and stone balls rained down through ballistas towards the wall

Under the cover of ballistas, the two teams of bears managed to rush to the foot of the wall, where they would excavate and collapse the wall by digging the foundation.

Although the land near the walls had been reinforced by the casters several times and made as hard as stone, the bears' actions forced the defenders on the walls to poke their heads out and attack with ballistas and arrows.

The walls are still strong, but the defenders on the walls seem to be in a hurry, not that these people have not fought to defend the city, and those warriors who are defending the city walls have experienced more than one attack from the Attila Empire in the past.

Instead, this time they faced the enemy of the Baltic Empire, with a high siege intensity, many tricks and orderly, so that they could not rely on the monotonous experience of the past to fight back.

No, according to the current progress, it is very likely that the Baltic Empire's army will be able to successfully climb the city wall or break through the city gates by this evening.

When the city has no walls, there is no way to support it for too long by relying only on street fighting, and don't forget that those gnolls in the hands of the empire, whether it was before or now, are extremely good street fighting troops.

The orcs charged with ladders, shouting all sorts of crazy slogans, holding shields over their heads with one hand, and charging in the face of the enemy's rain of arrows.

The elves had already appeared on the city walls, but their presence was obviously not enough to save the entire army from facing a grim situation, and their magic arrows were not numerous, and there was no way to make much of a difference in such a tidal attack.

At this moment, boundless dark clouds quickly drifted into the sky in the distance, and the United Kingdom's army became even more panicked, and the veterans who had participated in the war with the Baltic Empire knew that it was the gargoyle troops of the Baltic Empire.

This kind of structure made of stone can easily be solved by relying on the flexibility of the body if it is faced alone, but in such a chaotic battlefield, in the face of such a large number, any resistance will seem particularly futile.

Morale is low

It's something obvious

Many people have already made up the idea of throwing down their weapons and surrendering

As we all know, in the Baltic Empire, even as a slave has good treatment, at least it can meet the needs of normal life, and it is not difficult to live.

Warriors like them, who had a lot of combat experience, often escaped slavery and became free citizens of the Baltic Empire after following the army to a few victories.

And in the face of an opponent like the United Kingdom, following an army like the Baltic Empire, it seems that it is not difficult to achieve victory.

It's as if they feel it now, and they clearly smell defeat and death.

Now in this castle, the most determined to resist may be those dwarves, stubborn dwarves, knowing that there is no hope of victory, will still hold on to the end.

It's stupid, and at the same time it's an admirable character.

The orcs with ladders and shields approached the battlefield and began to attack the walls, while the ballistas and catapults stopped firing, because they could not be at such a distance without being accidentally injured.

At this time, there is no need to think about how to break the city wall, as long as these orcs can successfully climb the city wall, then the battle can also be declared over.

The morale and belief of the soldiers are very important, when the morale is low and there is no firm belief in fighting, no matter how strong the walls are, they cannot avoid the fate of falling.

The commander of the enemy roared wildly on the ramparts, and the steadfast warlords turned pale, not knowing whether they should still do their duty to urge the soldiers to fight.

The orcs soon climbed the walls, and the already fierce orc warriors became even more formidable after obtaining the weapons and equipment produced in the Jutland factory.

They didn't care about the enemy's attack at all, they didn't care how many attacks they received at all, they just started the rage and rushed to the crowded place.

The elves on the city wall did not have the slightest intention of fighting, they retreated directly from the city wall, maybe in the next war, these elves, these familiar faces will appear in the army of the Baltic Empire.

Unlike the elves who retreated slowly, the dwarves dropped their ballistas and catapults, took their axes and shields, and rushed to the walls, attacking the orcs without hesitation.

Don't underestimate these dwarves because of their height, these dwarves have been forged over the years with muscles as hard as rocks, and their strength, combined with the weapons in their hands, can easily penetrate armor made of fine iron.

The addition of these dwarf life forces was a good way to contain the attack of the orcs, and they did not have any advantage in a short period of time in the contest with these short men.

By the time the furious effects wore off, the orcs had fallen into the upper hand

Soon these orcs were driven down from the city walls, which gave the originally low morale a good recovery, and they had a little confidence in the next battle.

The victorious dwarves retreated to rest, and at the same time did not forget to taunt the elves, mocking them for retreating without a fight, thinking that these guys with long ears were very powerful, but when they really fought, there was no way to rely on them.

If it was in normal times, these elves couldn't help but fight back and quarrel with the dwarves, and these two rival races, as long as they stayed together, they basically couldn't be quiet.

But now the elves didn't bother with the dwarves, they themselves were in a quarrel, and the officers in the elven ranks were questioned by the soldiers.

Ask them why these officers have brought them to such a dilemma in such a war where there is no hope of victory and which can be avoided in every way.

What do the officers say, they also have resentment against this order from the top, but they are unwilling to violate such an order, from the perspective of interests, these officers are basically from the noble families among the elves, and they are inextricably linked with those elven elders at the upper level.

Such a situation is not uncommon in the immortal race, because of the long lifespan, the class from the top to the bottom of the race will become particularly solidified, and it is difficult to change the solidification.

Even if it is a new regime, the new elders cannot avoid it, they cannot change this status quo, because they have no way to find a solution to the problems caused by the long lifespan, and they cannot find a good way to renew it.

Such a problem is not obvious to the Baltic Empire, but it is also faced with the fact that those long-lived officials will continue to concentrate their connections and wealth over time, and then interest groups will naturally appear.

Even if the empire now enacts laws that determine the term of office of officials, there is no way to completely solve the problem, because even if these people lose their positions, the connections and wealth accumulated over the years will not just evaporate.

The elves are still arguing, but the United Kingdom's commander here can't continue to develop like this, and the role of elven arrows in defensive warfare is self-evident.

"Either be killed by the Overseers, or follow the orders of the Elven Elders and take part in this war seriously. ”

The commander-in-chief from the United Kingdom had orders that were so simple and easy to understand that he did not give the elves the slightest choice to become his own men or enemies.

The elves temporarily put aside the prejudices of both sides, and it was impossible for them to rebel and join the Baltic Empire at this time, because rebellion and being captured are two different concepts, and the former will inevitably affect relatives in the rear.

Due to the special government of the elves, their administrative efficiency is particularly low, but no matter how low, they will not be slacking off in the face of such things that can affect the war.

No matter how many people from within them wanted to surrender, and how loud the slogans against participation in this war were shouted, they had no power to resist the Elven Elders.

On the contrary, as long as the real people who take action will be treated as a model in the current situation, the long life span of these elves has given these elves a wealth of experience and no less intelligence, and it is precisely in this way that they will give priority to the option of compromise when there is no way out.

Temporarily solving the problem of the elves, the commander of the United Kingdom continued to focus on the defense of the walls, and the orcs who climbed the walls were temporarily solved, and the ladders that were erected at the top of the walls were either burned by the flames or cut down.

However, a temporary victory does not mean that he can rest easy, and the defeat of the orcs does not mean that the Baltic Empire's offensive will show signs of stopping, and the bears under the walls are still digging the walls in full swing.

Although everyone knew that the walls and the land beneath them were magically fortified, and that it would be difficult for the bears to achieve any decent results, the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart prompted the commander to respond.

The elves, who had just come to accept reality, were hastily sent into battle, and they were about to brave the rain of arrows to reach out of the city walls to attack the bears.

The army of the Baltic Empire, the orcs were temporarily repulsed, and they rested with full anger, and the original orc general had become a corpse left on the city wall.

His luck didn't seem to be very good, and when he climbed the city wall, he was surrounded by dwarves in heavy armor, and he ran out of strength and was divided by knives.

The newly elected Orc Overseer is swearing that according to orc tradition, he needs to avenge his predecessor, and only if his revenge is successful can he be in his current position.

The rest of the orcs were also preparing, and the simple death of their Overseers at the hands of those dwarves was a shameful thing from any point of view.

In the orc's dictionary, shame can only be washed away with the blood of the enemy, and if even the enemy does not have the courage to retaliate, such an orc will be rejected by other orcs.

However, despite their anger, the orcs stayed here to continue their rest, controlling their actions and waiting for Sigrud's orders.

This is a good start, as it means that the orcs are willing to accept the leadership of the Empire, and are willing and willing to be part of all aspects of the Empire, rather than still holding the idea of a single race in the Empire.

This development is a good thing for both the orcs and the empire, the empire welcomes a race with combat power like the orcs to join, and the orcs hope to be respected in this country and be able to reflect their value through their own efforts.

"You only have thirty minutes to rest. ”

Siegrude's order soon reached the ears of these orcs, which made their faces uncontrollably crawl with excitement, and they couldn't wait to take revenge, and they couldn't wait to let the dwarves know how brave and stupid it was to take up arms and resist when facing the orcs.

While the orcs were resting and resting, the Baltic Empire did not stop attacking, and centaurs with short bows were galloping across the battlefield, using their skills to tilt ammunition towards the head of the city wall and suppress the enemy archers.

Three teams of rhinoceros men were moving under the cover of these centaurs, pushing wooden carts covered in thick cowhides, slowly moving in the direction of the city gates.

It's something that has never been seen on the battlefield before, and it's impossible to guess what this wooden cart does based on its appearance, even though it seems to be used to protect the rhino people underneath and make it safely to the bottom of the walls.

However, if you just reach the bottom of the walls, there are other ways to do it, such as those bears and orcs who keep their shields above their heads, and iron shields from Jutland can be trusted against enemies who don't have magic arrows.

Just because they can't figure it out doesn't mean they'll let these rhinoceros people act like this, and ordinary arrows really can't penetrate the thick layer of cowhide's defenses.

However, the greased flaming arrows are different, even the thick cowhide is not immune to the burning of the hot flames, and the wood underneath the thick cowhide is also afraid of the flames.

The flaming arrows did not achieve the expected results, the cowhide did not burn, and the rhinoceros man inside the cart did not panic in the slightest, and continued to push the cart forward in an orderly manner.

Eventually, the three strange wooden carts reached the bottom of the city walls, or more precisely, directly in front of the gates, which had been watered with molten iron and filled with sandbags during the war, which could not normally be breached.
