Chapter 42: Bitter Battle

Although the orc troops were under the pressure of artillery and magic, they were still unscathed, and they were advancing in an orderly manner under the command of the leader, but they suddenly stopped when they were still about four hundred meters away.

As if feeling the confidence brought by the soul barrier, the beast troops on the opposite side actually stopped marching, simply leaned on the barrier, and fearlessly used trebuchets to shoot at the human troops in the air, and the unexpected human troops were caught off guard.

Dozens of strange-looking spherical objects carried huge kinetic energy and smashed down, and were intercepted by the mages of the air guards with spells, but there were still two fish with open nets, only slightly offset, and then fell into the formation unabated.

The sphere, however, seemed to be elastic, and it pressed the soldier underneath it and flicked it hard a few times before it calmed down, and then it quickly wriggled twice, bursting open, and blasting out small snake-like insects the thickness of fingers flying everywhere.

"It's a blood maggot! Where's the mage! help me!" The soldier's armor was quickly corroded into a wisp of white smoke, and the maggot burrowed into his body along the skin, and the soldier let out a terrible howl and rolled back and forth on the ground.

The maggots that burrow into their bodies are like fish back in the water, swimming around their bodies as fast as they can, and even occasionally puffing up a fast-moving bag that is visible to the naked eye on their faces.

"Boom!" A huge fireball wrapped the whole person of the maggot into the soldier and burned quickly, and in a moment, the scream disappeared, leaving only one humanoid char after another in the military formation.

"What are you doing! this is my soldier!" said Princess Jessica, leaping off her horse and pushing away the mage who had burned her own soldier to death.

"Report to the princess, if you are burrowed into the body by the blood maggot, you will be eaten by that thing in five minutes at most, and then the skin will be full of larvae, and if you don't kill him, the other soldiers will die. The murderous mage was pushed and staggered, and immediately straightened up again and replied.

Princess Jessica opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't say anything, is this the real battlefield?

It wasn't until the orc trebuchet threw a second wave of missiles that he woke up and shouted, "What about your spells?

"Three teams of mages, flowing water fortress! Captain Merlin commanded loudly with amplification.

Princess Jessica hurriedly stopped: "No, Captain Merlin, you can't use this spell, entity blocking spells will slow down the cannonball, and it will be useless to hit it." ”

"Three mage teams, change the Ao Neng Magic Shield!" Captain Merlin immediately changed the order, and with an order, finally before the missiles flew and collided, a thousand mages burst out in unison, and a transparent spell barrier was propped up in time.

The mysterious meat balls filled with blood maggots hit the barrier and broke out a large number of insects again, but the insects that had no flesh and blood to cling to only wriggled on the ground for a while, and then died.

As soon as the humans here shot a wave of cannonballs and spells, the orc trebuchet over there threw a bunch of stones in response, and the fight was very lively, but no one died for a while, whether it was a human or an orc, they were just stationed in their own military formations, and they didn't move, and they began to consume each other.

At this time, Princess Jessica was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

What should I do?!What about the ten legions on the other side, they take turns to consume it, and this amount of ammunition projection is not harmless at all, and hitting the soul barrier is like tickling. On their own side, the artillerymen are okay, the stock of shells is okay, it doesn't matter if they hit for a while, the cannon body is really hot and you can just pour water on the tube, but the mage's body may not last long.

The orc generals on the opposite side obviously noticed this, and were not in a hurry to attack at all, but arranged for the soldiers to keep waving leather whips, urging the human captives to throw stone projectiles over.

Judging from the clothing of the captives, it is likely that they are the city defense corps of Tramor! What happened to Tramor? How could there be so many prisoners? Could it be that the entire city surrendered without resistance?!

"Your Royal Highness Princess, hand over the command of your legion to me in a while, we will try to buy you more time, and you can run with Count Rose~" Commander Merlin said a little lonely.

The battlefield has been stalemate for almost an hour, and the mages of the Merlin Knights have already reached the limit of their physical strength and magic, but they are still gritting their teeth and persevering by relying on perseverance, even if their faces are like gold paper.

The artillery had already exploded due to non-stop fire, and the wounded soldiers who fell to the ground were quickly dragged behind, while the others were still numb and repeated the mechanical action over and over again, watering, clearing, charging, loading, correcting, ignition......

It seems like it never ends.

Although the soul barrier on the opposite side had been cracked twice, before the human troops could cheer and make persistent efforts to break through the barrier, the sacrifices of the beast clan slaughtered and sacrificed a group of human captives with a cruel smile, and the barrier stabilized again, as solid as a rock.

At this time, although the human forces had not suffered major casualties, they were becoming more and more tired and depressed from the long and fruitless attacks, and the orc troops on the opposite side were all recuperating like monkey shows, except for a few slightly busy sacrifices.

At this time, if the orc cavalry launched a wave of charge, they would almost be able to lock in the victory, right? However, I don't know if the orc clan's dao leader was cautious or in a cat-like mood, and still did not attack.

......

"Honorable Amun Khan, is it almost now, let your most loyal towers rush up with cavalry, crush all your enemies, pluck off their heads and make you a wine glass, and offer you the strongest wine. ”

One of the orc generals prostrated on the horses of another orc leader in wolf skin, and said in a respectful tone similar to that of a singing steppe.

"My loyal General Tari, now is not the time. The leader observed the Terran army on the other side and replied nonchalantly.

"Great Khan, are you doubting my abilities?!" General Tari, who had been kneeling, suddenly stood up and asked loudly.

"General Tari, don't be in a hurry, now is not the time. ”

"Khan......" General Tari wanted to say something more, but the Khan put his finger on his mouth a little, and he couldn't help but stop.

The chieftain, known as Amun Khan, said slowly: "Alas, General Tari, do you know why, despite your bravery in battle, you are not as important as General Batu's father Khan? ”

"I don't understand, haven't humanity been consumed to the limit by you?" asked the angry general loudly, not even bothering to use honorifics.

"You're a reckless man......"
