Faced with the 'Wrath of the Beast God' released by more than a hundred orc shamans, Bai Feng, who tried his best to shoot the orc shaman, had no choice but to shout to Hans and Aetius: "Immediately withdraw from the release range of the enemy's spells, hurry! hurry!!!!

"Immediately withdraw from the defensive point and move closer to the sides! Immediately withdraw from the defensive point and move closer to the sides!" Hans, who also realized that the situation was not right, reacted much faster than Aetius, and as soon as he heard Bai Feng's order, he turned around and gave the order to his soldiers to retreat.

Aetius, who was a little slower, had a greater advantage over Hans, and three teams of Cretan archers and two Spartan hoplites of the Guard, as well as four Roman youth and two iron gunners, were not stationed at the far front of the wall.

The soldiers of the Pro-Guard, who were agile, quickly withdrew along the city wall to the sides outside the coverage of the 'Wrath of the Beast God', while the soldiers of the 7th Wing, which had a strength of 6,000, fell into a certain confusion because of the hasty retreat, and did not fully withdraw from the coverage area.

Before the soldiers of the Seventh Wing could withdraw from the coverage of the 'Wrath of the Beast God', in the blood-colored vortex that was spinning rapidly in the air above the city wall, huge red rocks suddenly appeared and smashed straight towards the left wing of the city wall where Bai Feng was located!

"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......" One after another, the powerful red rocks smashed a crater into the originally impregnable left flank wall, and the 'wrath of the beast god' unleashed by the orc shaman had no intention of stopping.

The unfortunate ones who remained on the city walls were directly hit by the red rocks that fell from the sky, and were smashed into a piece of flesh before they even had a chance to scream;

Bai Feng, who has the strength of a great sword master, has no power to fight back under the attack of the 'Beast God's Fury', he once tried to use spiritual power to block a rock that smashed into several soldiers, but the result was only to consume a lot of spiritual power in vain, but it did not change the fate of those soldiers.

The 'Wrath of the Beast God', which lasted for about three minutes, made Bai Feng, Hans, and Aetius sit in a safe area and watch the soldiers of the Seventh Wing being ravaged by the rocks, and this feeling of powerlessness and the sight of the end times was as long as a century!

Sunset Fortress is a fortress group built by the Tianlong Empire for hundreds of years, with countless manpower, material resources, and financial resources combined with the unique natural moat of the Sunset Mountain Range;

The potholed city walls, the bloody corpses, the wounded soldiers wailing in pain, and the pale soldiers who defended the city reacted from their panic, and the tiger warriors who had long been ready to attack launched an attack on the city wall with cloud ladders!

"The big teams immediately enter the defensive point and prepare to meet the attack of the orcs!" Looking at all the defensive weapons on the city wall that were destroyed, Hans had no choice but to let the soldiers under his command whose morale had been greatly reduced directly use their flesh and blood to block the attack of the orcs.

The three watchtowers were all within the coverage of the 'Wrath of the Beast God', and the watchtowers that were not as strong as the city walls were all smashed by the waist, and the Cretan archers, who had lost their excellent vantage points, had to rain arrows on the attacking tiger warriors from both sides of the city walls.

The unwounded four Roman youth armies, led by Aetius, joined Hans's defense, while White Peak, who personally commanded two teams of iron gunners and two teams of Spartan heavy infantry, aimed at the flanks of the Tiger army.

250 meters, 200 meters, 150 meters, 100 meters...... When the tiger warriors who shouted offensive slogans that they did not understand rushed to within a hundred meters of the city wall, Bai Feng ordered the iron artillery gunners who were waiting around him:

"Aim, shoot!"

"Bang...... Bang...... Bang ......" The two teams of iron cannon gunners were divided into three columns by Bai Feng, each column of forty spearmen who held iron cannons diagonally; with Bai Feng's order, the forty iron cannon gunners at the forefront immediately pulled the trigger, and a burst of fired like fried beans sounded on the city wall.

The smell of gunpowder was extremely unfamiliar to anyone other than Bai Feng, and only Bai Feng understood what this unpleasant smell meant, and there was a reason why the iron cannon gunners who cost as much as 350 stone were only one level of experience.

Because the iron cannon in the hands of the iron cannon is too powerful, their own strength has been suppressed to the maximum, and the tiger warrior whose physical defense can withstand the sharp arrows of the third-level Cretan archers is as fragile as paper in front of the iron cannon!

A volley of eighty iron gunners killed and wounded the tigermen on the way in an instant, and then the first column of iron gunners crouched down to reload their ammunition, and the second column of iron gunners fired directly, omitting even the steps of aiming.

All the tiger warriors who were shot by the iron cannon were either killed or wounded, but the limited iron cannon gunners could not kill or injure many tiger warriors within a distance of 100 meters.

The iron cannon gunners who were still crackling and shooting, bit by bit, consumed the vitality of the tiger warriors, and there were constantly running tiger warriors who were shot by their iron cannons, and then fell on the way to charge, becoming heroes who died in battle in the eyes of the orcs.

The long-range attacks of the iron gunners and Cretan archers continued, and the soldiers of the 7th Wing, who had lost their defensive weapons, also fought against the tigermen who had climbed the city walls, and the elite tigermen warriors were much stronger than the defenders in terms of combat effectiveness!

The first Tiger warrior to climb the city wall was besieged by seven defenders dressed in Roman heavy infantry equipment, but this powerful Tiger warrior resisted the siege of the seven soldiers, and even risked his own life not to kill the defenders.

Two of the unprepared defenders were beheaded off by the Tiger Warrior on the spot, while several other Defender Soldiers stabbed their short swords into the Tiger Warrior's body in time.

More and more Tiger warriors climbed the city wall, and the combat pressure of the defenders was also increasing, even with the assistance of four Roman youth armies, the defenders who were not strong in overall combat effectiveness were still unable to suppress the strong and fearless Tiger warriors.

Two teams of Spartan heavy infantry were deployed on the flanks of the city wall by Bai Feng, using a rock-solid spear battle formation against the tigerman warriors who wanted to expand the scale of the battle, so that the tigerman warriors who gradually gained the upper hand on the city wall were finally compressed in the middle of the city wall.

The twelfth fortress, which was in full swing, was actually the best fort of the twelve small fortresses, and the other eleven small fortresses were first hit by the 'wrath of the beast god', and then attacked by the orc army, and the battle situation can be described as tragic.

Take the Eleventh Fortress next door to the Twelfth Fortress as an example, the officers and men of the three wings of the 39th Army Corps, who were responsible for garrisoning the left wing city wall, only the blow of the 'Wrath of the Beast God' killed more than two-thirds of the 6,000 soldiers stationed here, and all three wing captains were killed!

Immediately afterward, the fierce attack of thousands of elite warriors of the orc army wiped out almost all the defenders of the 39th Legion, and with the fall of the left flank wall, the defensive battle of the 11th fortress turned into a fight within the fortress, and the balance of victory was already tilting in favor of the orc army!
