Volume 4 The Burning Prairie Chapter 241 - A Sharp Turn (1)

When the Chimera in the sky rushed straight down and rushed towards the head of Warsong Castle, three of the five city defense ballistae of Warsong Castle quickly adjusted their angles and turned into air. The other two city ballistae remained at a downward angle, ready to deal with the mages of the Sun-Chasing Mercenaries and the Elven Alliance.

Zheng Zheng Zheng!

The sound of breaking the sky sounded one after another, and a huge crossbow was launched from the crossbow bed and shot towards the Chimera in the sky.

Seeing the giant crossbow attacking, Nuramok flapped his wings and made a series of flight evasion maneuvers. As its body writhed, flames and frost erupted from the mouths of the two heads. However, due to the amplitude of Nuramok's breathing when he had to dodge the giant crossbow, the flames and ice wind it spat out did not accurately hit the city's ballistae, but instead scattered them on the head of Warsong Castle, which caused many casualties among orc warriors, but did not succeed in destroying the city's ballistas.

As Nuramok battled the orc crossbowmen wielding the city's ballistas, the elven mages in the coalition phalanx began casting spells in an attempt to throw their magic at Warsong Castle. However, due to the fact that the threat of the two city defense ballistas aimed at the coalition forces was too great, the elven mages chose the casting position for safety reasons, and instead did not dare to move forward, they retreated back hundreds of meters. As a result, due to the long distance, most of the various magic spells cast by the elven mages could not reach the head of Warsong Castle, and the damage caused to the orc warriors at the head of Warsong Castle was very small.

After discovering that their magic was not very effective, the elven mages stopped casting spells so as not to waste their magic in vain. They hid out of the range of the city's ballistae, quietly waiting for their moment.

At the same time, the coalition forces under Warsong Fort also began to move.

Two thousand elven knights, mounted on the backs of the Nightblade Leopard or Frost-Striped Tiger, armed with longbows, lined up in three formations and slowly advanced towards Warsong Castle.

These elven knights were already in the range of the city's defense ballistas, but in order to deal with the magicians in the coalition, the orcs did not dare to waste a small number of giant crossbows, so they did not shoot giant crossbows at the elven knights.

After the elven knights entered the range of their bows and arrows, they stopped advancing and looked at the Warsong Castle in front of them with solemn expressions!

"Archers, get ready!" shouted an elven officer.

With the order of the elven officer, the elven knights took out the feather arrows in the quiver behind their backs, wound the arrows, and pulled the longbow diagonally, pulling the longbow in their hands into a full moon shape, and the arrows shining with a faint cold light pointed directly at the head of the Moon Bay Fort.

The elven knights' movements of pulling bows and arrows in one go, neatly and uniformly, look extremely shocking.

"Shoot the arrows!" the elven officer yelled again.

A rain of arrows composed of 2,000 feathered arrows instantly pierced the sky and fell towards the head of Warsong Castle. The orc archers at the head of Warsong Castle also drew their bows and arrows, shooting them at the coalition forces.

Although the orc archers are condescending and have a geographical advantage, the longbows used by the two thousand elven knights are all magic longbows, with additional attributes such as range extension and armor piercing, so although the elven knights are in a disadvantageous position below, after a few rounds of shooting, the orc archers have suffered heavy casualties, and they are completely suppressed by the elven knights with magic longbows.

With the help of the elven arrow rain, Nuramok in the sky finally found an opportunity to destroy the five city defense ballistae at the head of Warsong Castle one after another. However, during this time, when the orc crossbowmen used the city defense ballista to attack Nuramok, in addition to the ordinary steel ballista, they also used a magic tracking giant crossbow worth 10,000 gold. The magic-tracking crossbow easily sliced through Nuramok's hard scales and plunged deep into its back.

With the rain of blood that flew in the sky, Nuramok had to be seriously injured and forced to withdraw from the battlefield early.

When all the ballistae at the head of Warsong Castle were destroyed, the elven mages hiding behind the coalition forces immediately stepped forward and rejoined the battle. I saw spells such as frost, wind blades, and thorns flying towards the head of Warsong Castle one after another, harvesting the lives of the orc warriors.

The elven mage who had survived the attack under the giant crossbow and could use fire-based spells also cast fireball spells one after another, bombarding the same section of Warsong Castle's walls. When the elven mage's magic power was about to run out, the fourth fireball he sent out finally worked. The fortified walls of Warsong Castle collapsed with a roar, and a gap eight or nine meters long was blown out.

"Rush!" On Senna's side, Gangyan, who had already received the relevant orders, saw that the wall of Warsong Fort was blown out of the gap, and at the same time, the front finger of the battle axe in his right hand let out a loud roar, and he took the lead in spreading his legs and rushing towards Warsong Castle.

Behind Gangyan, more than 2,000 daily mercenary infantry soldiers also held their weapons in one hand and their shields in the other, and turned into torrents of arrows that had been whistling down from the head of the Battle Castle Castle.

A large group of orc warriors rushed out of Warsong Castle, blocked the gap, and engaged in a fierce battle with the daily mercenary infantry warriors who had reached the gap.

Relying on the numerical superiority, the orc warriors succeeded in plugging the gap at the cost of casualties, and never let the daily mercenary infantry soldiers rush into the Warsong Castle from here. All of a sudden, the daily mercenary infantry soldiers who could not attack also felt in a dilemma and were at a loss. Chinese bar

"Leave it to the clansmen! There are many people with high martial arts among them, and they should be able to take down that gap in one go!" Wen Leiya couldn't help but frown when she saw that the mercenary infantry soldiers had been attacking for a long time without success, and said to Senna.

Senna was about to nod his head in agreement, but suddenly someone in the army formation shouted, "Who is that man coming from behind!"

Senna was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw a knight covered in blood and with a sharp arrow stuck in his shoulder, galloping from the rear of the battlefield, and heading straight to the place where the flag of the daily mercenary group was flying.

"Boss, it looks like a herald from Fort Glory!" Roy said in a low voice as he leaned over to Senna.

When Senna saw the herald's wounded appearance, his heart tightened, and a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart, making him faintly uneasy.

Sure enough, when the knight saw Senna, who was under the banner of the Sun-Seeking Mercenary Regiment, he rushed directly in front of him, and summoned up all his strength to report the bad news to him, "A team of more than a thousand blood-toothed wolf cavalry has raided Fort Glory, and Fort Glory has fallen!"

After the knight shouted these words, because the task on his shoulders had been completed, his nerves, which had been tense, suddenly relaxed, and he could no longer bear the pain caused by the injuries on his body, only to feel dizzy, the world was spinning, and he suddenly fell to the ground involuntarily.

Suddenly hearing the news brought by the herald, Senna was so shocked and angry that he jumped off his horse, lifted the herald up, half lay down in the crook of his arm, and asked angrily, "What's the matter? I handed over Fort Glory to Horn for only a few days, and Fort Glory fell?" What about Horn and the others?"

Deputy Head Horn ...... Killed!" The herald gasped and said another word, and he could not hold on any longer, and he tilted his head and fainted completely.

Without waiting for Senna's orders, several men rushed forward, took the fainting knight from Senna's hands, carried him down, and treated him.

"Where did the Bloodtooth Wolf Cavalry come from? Could it be the Bloodtooth Wolf Cavalry from other orc forts on the grassland?" Hearing that Horn had been killed, Senna lost his mind for a moment and muttered to himself.

"Senna, have you noticed that there are no werewolves among the orcs guarding Warsong Castle!" Wen Leiya said with a deep groan, looking at the head of Warsong Castle.

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Senna reacted at this time. In today's War Song Castle, there is clearly a unit full of werewolves, that is, the Third Wing of the Bloodtooth Cavalry Regiment! At this time, it was at the critical juncture of the war, but there were no blood-toothed wolf cavalry to be seen on the battlefield. Then, according to the news from the surrounding scouts, there were no ambushes near the battlefield. Then, this blood-toothed wolf cavalry wing in Warsong Castle must have quietly stayed away from Warsong Castle.

Obviously, the blood-toothed wolf cavalry unit that attacked Fort Glory was not from other orc forts on the grassland at all, it was from Warsong Fort.

"Senna, what should we do now? Shall we take back Fort Glory right away, or should we abandon Fort Glory first and take Warsong Fort first?" asked Winrea.

"Withdraw!Compared to Warsong Castle, Glory Fort is the foundation of our Daily Mercenary Regiment, we have been operating there for a long time, and we must not lose it!" Senna said without much thought.

A hurried horn sounded on the battlefield, it was the order to retreat!

After hearing the sound of the horn of the retreating soldiers, although they were puzzled by the sudden withdrawal of their troops not long after the battle began, they still obeyed the order, orderly broke away from the gap in the city wall where the battle was raging, and slowly retreated to their own army.

Muraton, who was standing at the head of Warsong Castle, was overjoyed when he found that the mercenary infantry soldiers had begun to retreat, and guessed that the third wing led by Blade to raid Fort Glory was successful, and he really knocked down Fort Glory.

"Lord Muraton, do we need to send troops in pursuit?" asked an orc officer, eager to do so.

Muratun struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally slowly shook his head and said: "The enemy retreats but is not chaotic, our pursuit will not have much effect, so it is better not to pursue." The mercenary cavalry and the elven cavalry have not yet entered the battle, if we rush out and be killed by them, and we can't capsize the ship in the gutter, it will be worth the loss! This time we don't seek to annihilate the enemy, as long as we can hold the Glory Castle!"

Under the castle of Warsong Castle, after the daily mercenary infantry soldiers safely retreated to their own military formation, the entire coalition army immediately turned around, brought up billowing smoke and dust, and hurried towards the distance.
