Chapter Ninety-Six: The Great War Begins

The Bloodflame Blue Wolf raided the Canyon of Sighs, officially kicking off the war between the two clans.

When the news of the fall of the Sigh Canyon came, Prince Hobbes and the leading generals of the legions were deliberating in the Great Tent.

When the news came, the camp was in an uproar, perhaps the purpose of this war of the orcs was to sigh the canyon. Others don't know what's in the canyon of sighs, but Prince Hobbes and Keno know it in their hearts, otherwise the kingdom would not have placed a legion on the side of the canyon for a long time, and did not participate in the war when the orcs invaded the world.

Prince Hobbes had hoped that the Frost Thunder Legion would be able to contain some of the orcs' forces on the flanks, but now the Frost Thunder Legion may not be able to protect itself. With only frost thunder and half of the crippled Knights of Light, it would be difficult for them to resist the attack of the 200,000 orcs of the Blood Flame Blue Wolf.

It is impossible for the Wind and Snow Legion to send a single soldier to support the Frost Thunder Legion, and the only thing they can count on may be the Church of Light, because the Sigh Canyon is not only about the land of the kingdom, but also about the deep seal of the church.

At this moment, a long horn sounded outside the city.

The lieutenant hurriedly ran into the big tent, "Report to the legion commander, the orc army is out of the camp and ready to attack the city!"

Prince Hobbs smiled coldly, "Sure enough, the generals will follow me to the city to face the battle, the glory lost by the Knights of Light in the Sigh Canyon, we will find it under Red Rock City today." ”

Outside Hongyan City, teams of orc warriors had already finished arraising, and a huge phalanx of 1,000 people was lined up, and the battle array alone stretched for more than ten miles.

The drums of war sounded, and the orc phalanx began to advance with the beat of the drum, and the siege battle officially began!

The vanguard of the orc siege was an orc warrior from several tribes, such as bullheads, brute elephants, and rhinos, and the warriors of these tribes were naturally tall, with impressive defenses of their own, and they were heavily armored and armed with huge shields. A large number of orc priests appeared on the battlefield, blessed them with defensive spells such as "fossil skins" and "totem guards", making these warriors impenetrable mobile armor.

After the forward warriors are a large number of siege vehicles, battering rams, trebuchets and other siege equipment, after so many years of war with the human race, the orcs have gradually formed their own set of coping tactics in siege.

The siege force is followed by the orc warriors of the Demon Ape Clan, the Leopard Clan, the Wolf Clan and other tribes, and these warriors are agile and are the main force to climb and storm the city wall.

Then there are the snake marksmen, centaur lancers, and other ranged tribal warriors, who are responsible for providing fire cover and suppression for the siege forces under the city.

The orc armies were advancing layer by layer, and Elliot was fully prepared to capture Red Rock City.

On the walls of Hongyan City, the Terran army had already completed its preparations for battle, the trebuchets had been loaded, the huge ballistas had been pushed to the battlements of the city walls, the archers drew their bows and arrows to cover behind the battlements, and the pikemen hid in the walls with steel spears.

A big war is on the verge of breaking out.

The orcs were getting closer and closer to Red Rock City, and the sound of war drums was getting faster and faster, and when there was still a thousand meters away from the city wall, the orc vanguard troops ran and charged.

The Terran army's city defense weapons roared from the moment the orc charge was launched, and a bag of large stones was thrown through the long arm of the trebuchet, and meteorite rain fell above the heads of the charging orcs.

The orc vanguard had been prepared for this, and the huge shields were raised above their heads, and the stones smashed against the shields with a loud thud.

Under the rain of meteorites, the pace of the orc troops charging did not stop.

After the trebuchet, the ballista mounted in the battlement began to wield, flames erupted from the muzzle, and huge projectiles with fire shot into the orc formation and exploded, and the combustibles wrapped in the projectiles splashed and ignited large flames. The flames were attached to the shield, the armor, and the surface of the shield and armor were also ignited. No matter how strong the orc's defense was, they couldn't withstand the scorching flames, and they rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames, letting out a scream of pain.

Because of the damage of the ballista, the charging formation in the front row of the orcs has become a little scattered, but the pace of the charge still does not stop.

The orcs were closer to Red Rock City, and the archers of the human race flashed out from behind the battlements, and threw round after round of arrows into the sky under the unified command, and the charging orcs ushered in the third baptism.

Orc warriors must not expose any part of their bodies beyond their shields, otherwise the sharp tips of the arrows will be pervasive under the rain of arrows.

After paying the price of thousands of casualties, the orcs finally rushed to the bottom of Red Rock City.

The orc trebuchet was set up a few hundred meters away, ready to shoot at the Terran army. The siege engine was pushed under the city wall, and the slowly rising siege vehicle reached almost half the height of the city wall, and the orc warriors directly kicked the city through the ladder from the siege vehicle.

The snake archers and centaur lancers who rushed to the city began to fight back against the Terran warriors at the head of the city.

Terran archers shoot at orc archers with the help of shooting holes.

At the same time as the shooters of the two sides were facing each other, the Terran spearmen had already rushed out of the hiding hole and poured the hot oil that had been prepared along the city wall, and there were screams and scorched smells under the city.

The flames ignited the tung oil again, and even the city wall under the city and even the city wall where the tung oil flowed was burned, and even ignited several siege vehicles that had been set on the city wall, and countless orc warriors struggled in the flames.

The war was at a fever pitch from the very beginning......

......

Red Rock City, the headquarters of the Church of Light.

Archbishop Sosis is a chubby old man with a kind smile on his face. Officially, Bishop Sosis was accustomed to wear a white robe without any ornamentation, unlike the usual priest of light.

As an archbishop of a diocese, he has no scruples, and strictly practices the teachings of God of Light, treating and loving every of God's people equally. It is for this reason that Archbishop Sosis enjoys a high reputation and prestige among the faithful of the diocesan of the Kingdom of Isaac.

Today, Archbishop Sosis, who sat on top of the church, did not have the smile he had in front of the world in the past, and his face was as gloomy as water. Not only Sosis, but also the three bishops of the Cardinal's Council, the Inquisition, and the Imperial Palace, known as the three giants of the Church of Light, were there, and everyone's faces were not good-looking.

The atmosphere in the sanctuary was a little depressing, and Cardinal Bishop Dilier coughed lightly and said: "The archbishop doesn't need to worry too much, the responsibility for the defeat of the Sigh Canyon this time is not with the Knights of Light, there is obviously the shadow of the temple behind the orcs, and our diocese is naturally not the opponent of the entire orc temple." ”

"The responsibility is not with the Knights of Light, but the Canyon of Sighs is lost in the hands of the Knights of Light, if the Pope asks him, will Bishop Dilier explain it the same way?"

Dilier and Fast have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and immediately replied lightly: "The orc warriors of the Blood Flame Blue Wolf are not ordinary people who tremble in fear when they see the Punishment Knight, if Bishop Fast thinks that this battle is unfavorable for the Knights of Light, he might as well send the Punishment Knights to recapture the Canyon of Sighs." ”

Fast snorted lightly without showing weakness, "If the archbishop approves it, I am willing to personally accompany the Knights of Punishment to the Canyon of Sighs." ”

Sosis suddenly stood up from his seat and said coldly: "Not only are you going to Fast, but also Dilill, Jacob and I are going, and the Holy See will also send people, sighing that the canyon must not be opened by orcs!"
