Volume 4 The Burning Grassland Chapter 247 Attack on the Sky Fort (2)

In the spring of 1230 in the God of War calendar of the Beamon Empire, the last major battle of the Orc Northern Army in the Northern Frontier Grassland in the Lionheart Era, the Battle of the Sky Fort officially began.

At the beginning of the battle, the orc army progressed extremely smoothly, and when 80,000 orc warriors entered the Wind Rift Canyon, they did not encounter decent resistance at all. The orc army was like a bamboo, advancing rapidly towards the north of the Wind Crack Canyon. The Wind Elemental Legion fighting against the Orc Army was defeated one after another, and in just three days, the Orc Army had almost opened through the Wind Crack Canyon, and the majestic fortress built on an isolated ridge in the northernmost part of the Wind Crack Canyon, the Sky Fortress, was already in sight.

However, as the orc army drew closer to the Sky Castle, the resistance of the wind elemental warriors became fierce. The orc army gradually became more and more inch-oriented, and every step forward would pay a great price for casualties. Obviously, the battle strategy of the Sky Fortress side is to abandon the battle on the periphery, and then concentrate the real battle on the core area near the Sky Castle.

Although the battle was blocked, the front of the orc army still advanced slowly but inexorably.

After another five days of fierce fighting, the orc army finally reached the bottom of the ridge where the Sky Fortress stood. In the entire Wind Rift Canyon, except for a few scattered Wind Elemental Warriors, the Wind Elemental Warriors in the formation have been completely wiped out.

And at this moment, there are only 50,000 orc warriors left.

The real decisive battle between the Orc Northern Army and the Sky Fortress is about to begin.

When the morning sun slowly opened the curtain on the sky, the sound of a long horn broke the silence of the early morning. Fifty thousand orc warriors walked out of the barracks and stood in formation, surrounding the ridge where the Sky Fortress was located, looking up at the lonely fortress on the top of the mountain with a fierce fighting spirit.

With the sound of high-spirited war drums, four phalanxes of minotaur warriors and bear-man warriors left the army and slowly marched forward. These minotaur warriors and bear-man warriors wore steel plate armor rarely seen in orc armies, and all were armed with giant shields and axes, apparently used as heavy infantry for assault assaults.

When the four orc heavy infantry phalanx moved to the foot of the mountain, the four leading orc commanders opened their mouths one after another and let out a loud roar, and the short axes in their hands pointed at the sky fortress on the top of the mountain.

Just as the orc heavy infantry charged, the surface of the four large magic towers towering at the four corners of the walls of the Sky Fortress shimmered with magical brilliance, and then four bright and blazing magical beams shot at the orc heavy infantry on the hillside, and began to bombard them fiercely.

In the deafening explosion, hundreds of orc heavy infantry were blown to pieces and shattered to pieces.

The wind elemental mages in the Sky Castle also cast all kinds of magic and threw them at the orc heavy infantry who were climbing the mountain.

The wind elemental archers who stood on the walls of the Sky Fortress looked down on the hillside below the city, and shot arrows at the orc hoplites like rain of arrows.

The iron armor and huge shields of the orc hoplites could hold off the arrows, but they could not resist the indiscriminate bombardment of magic. Under the magical bombardment of the magic tower and the wind elemental mage, the casualties of the orc heavy infantry climbed dramatically.

Since the Sky Fortress stood high on the top of the mountain, the orc archers at the foot of the mountain were powerless to carry out a long-range attack on the Sky Fortress and provide fire support to the orc heavy infantry who launched the first wave of siege battles. In the orc army, the long-range forces that can attack the Sky Fortress, in addition to the more than a dozen heavy ballistas parked at the front of the military array, are the more than thirty orc shamans who are firmly guarded by a large group of orc warriors.

Huge iron crossbows and brilliant magic flew up from the orc army and smashed into the head of the Sky Fortress. In particular, the four magic towers with full firepower have become the target of heavy ballistas and shamans.

Upon discovering the orc's attempt, the wind mages immediately stopped their magical attacks on the orc hoplites, and instead either used their magic to destroy the overbows or cast dispel spells to wipe away the attacking magic to protect the powerful magic tower from the orcs.

The magic tower also changed its attack target at the right time, constantly shooting magic beams at the heavy ballista in front of the orc army.

With several loud bangs, the magic beams hit several heavy ballistas one after another, blasting them to pieces. Not only were all the orc warriors operating these heavy ballistas killed, but even dozens of nearby orc warriors were also affected, and they were swept away by the shock wave generated by the explosion of the ballista, and they were either killed or injured.

An orc shaman with several braids hanging from the back of his head and a pair of wings on his back rose from the formation and flew into the air. He looked at the castle in the sky, pinched his hands and chanted obscure magical spells.

One of the four magic towers in the Sky Castle immediately adjusted its angle and changed it to an air attack.

After a flicker of light, a magical beam of light erupted from the tower, shooting towards the orc shaman who had risen into the air. As for the other three magic towers, they still methodically continued to destroy the heavy ballista in front of the orc army.

Under the huge threat of the magic tower, the orc shaman who dares to rise into the air will naturally not be an idle person. This orc shaman is one of the two Saint-rank powerhouses in the orc army, and he was born in Austin, the holy shaman of the Eagle people of the Eagle Clan.

In the face of the beam of light from the magic tower, Austin had no intention of dodging, and he did not pause in the slightest movement of pinching and chanting. Austin had already guessed that once he lifted into the air, he would be hit by the defensive fire of the Sky Fortress, so he cast two spells successively, the first of which was a defensive magic to protect himself, only to see a flash of white light, and a circular magic shield suddenly formed, enveloping him.

The magic beam hit Austin's propped shield, but it failed to shatter it, leaving Austin unscathed.

When the attack of the magic beam failed, the orc saint shaman in the shield finally completed the second magic. Write a book

In the sky above the Sky Castle, a dark cloud of thunder and thunder suddenly floated around. As Austin stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the Sky Fort, a bright bolt as thick as a bucket of lightning thundered down from the thunderclouds and fell into the Sky Fort.

The target of this thick lightning bolt was one of the four magic towers at the four corners of the walls of the Sky Fortress.

The magic tower that was struck by lightning was shattered in an instant, and the wind elemental mages stationed in the magic tower were also left with no bones left in the explosion.

Another bolt of lightning descended from the thunderclouds and blew up a magic tower once more.

As the third bolt of lightning brewed in the thunderclouds and was about to slash down again, a cold snort suddenly came from the Sky Castle.

This cold snort was so loud that it suppressed the roaring thunder in the sky and the earth-shattering shouts of killing on the ground, so that the soldiers of the two sides who were fighting on the battlefield could hear it clearly.

Immediately afterward, a huge giant with a body and hands and feet formed by the differentiation of a high-speed rotating storm suddenly soared into the sky from the depths of the Sky Fortress and headed straight for the thundercloud overhead.

This storm giant is none other than the Hurricane Lord, the master of the Sky Castle.

When the Holy Rank powerhouses among the orcs began to join the battle, in this war, the Hurricane King, who had been stable and unmoving, finally couldn't help but take action.

With a bang, a third bolt of lightning finally fell from the thunderclouds, but the target of this lightning bolt was no longer the magic tower in the Sky Castle, but the head-on Hurricane King.

Seeing the lightning strike, the Hurricane King raised his left hand, and a huge storm shield appeared in his hand out of thin air, and was blocked by him. At the same time, with a grasp of his right hand, he extracted a large amount of wind elements from the wind whistling in the sky, condensing an incomparably sharp Storm Spear.

Lightning struck the Storm Shield's shield, but it didn't destroy the Storm Shield in the slightest.

The Hurricane King, with a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right, flew below the thundercloud, and he stabbed the Storm Spear in his hand. When the thundercloud was stabbed by the Storm Spear, it was destroyed in an instant, and it dissipated without a trace.

After dispersing the thunderclouds, the Hurricane King froze in mid-air and turned to look at the orc St. Austin, the orc, who was in the air like him.

Seeing the Hurricane King appear, although Austin's face was solemn, he did not have a trace of fear, even if the Hurricane King was a powerhouse at the peak of the eleventh level, which was a level higher than him at the peak of the tenth level.

Austin's fearlessness in the face of himself made the Hurricane King frown slightly, and then he snorted coldly, strode forward in the air, and walked towards the orc saint shaman.

The Hurricane King's move, although it seemed like a leisurely walk, crossed a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant, came to Austin, and swung the Storm Spear, stabbing Austin in the chest.

The Hurricane King swung his spear very slowly, and before the tip of the spear could stab Austin, Austin's face suddenly changed, his body turned away, and he quickly retreated backwards.

Austin retreated dozens of meters before he steadied himself in the air.

The Spear of the Storm didn't seem to stab Austin, but there was a clearly visible wound on Austin's left shoulder, and blood was gushing.

Although Austin was wounded by the Storm King's blow, there was still not much fear on his face.

Austin's calm performance made the Hurricane King feel very unhappy, although both of them were Saint-level powerhouses, but there was also an insurmountable huge strength gap between the Saint-level powerhouses, and a mere tenth-level peak shaman would dare to ignore his majesty?

The Hurricane King laughed angrily, and with a flicker, he was about to lunge at Austin again, stabbing him under the Storm Spear.

Two sword qi suddenly flew up from the orc army on the ground, slashing towards the Hurricane King in the air, and also sealing his path.

The Hurricane King had to stop his forward rush and retreat backwards, dodging the sword qi that slashed at him.

Immediately after the sword qi, two more figures rose from the orc army, standing on Austin's left and right, facing the Hurricane King.

These two newly ascended Saint Rank powerhouses are none other than Francis and Steel Scythe.
