Chapter 1009: Orcs Will Never Be Slaves (24)
"Duren, bring someone back immediately."
Seeing that the owl warriors were pressing down like a black cloud, Buzz didn't dare to be careless, and directly ordered Duren to withdraw to the camp with the silver Pegasus knights.
After seeing the Silver Pegasus Knight fly back to the camp, Li Corgi suddenly showed a regretful expression.
However, he was also able to accept this result, because after the Silver Pegasus Knight withdrew to the camp, no one could stop the Tiger Warriors' pit filling operation.
After about ten minutes, the tiger warriors finally built a thirty-meter-wide passage under the rain of arrows from the elven knights, and now there was only a wooden fence between them and the camp.
After building the passage, the tiger warriors did not attack the camp directly, they first retreated to the gap in the earthen wall in an orderly manner, and then hid behind the earthen wall.
Immediately after, a loud elephant chirp suddenly sounded outside the camp, and in a short time, three behemoths appeared side by side on the passage built by the tiger warriors.
Just as Buzz had predicted, the ultimate goal of the many orc girls escorted by Li Corgi from Pu'er City was to dispatch the Jungle Elephant Legion.
The Jungle Elephant Legion under Li Corgi is similar to the war elephant legions of other forces, and is also composed of war elephants, elephant slaves, and elephant soldiers.
Unlike the other forces, since his subordinates are all orcs, all of his elephant slaves and elephant soldiers are ape warriors.
The reason why Li Corgi chose the ape warrior to join the jungle elephant army was mainly because of the unique racial talent of the ape warrior.
Ape warriors are adept at climbing, and unlike other races, they also need ladders to get up to the back of war elephants.
Without the help of any tools, they can easily climb onto the back of the war elephant by scratching at its wrinkled skin.
In the combination of an attack consisting of an elephant, an elephant slave, and an elephant, the elephant is primarily responsible for charging from the front and destroying the enemy's defensive formation.
The elephant slave is responsible for directing the war elephants to prevent them from suddenly coming up and losing control.
Elephant soldiers, on the other hand, are mainly responsible for long-range attacks, and they stay on the saddle on the back of the war elephant, and have a condescending view advantage, which can easily find the enemy's flaws, and then use the bow and crossbow to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
And because of the race, many powerful orcs are unable to use bows and arrows normally, and their size and weight are very large, so it is a great burden for war elephants to let them stay on the back of war elephants.
Therefore, when the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance selected elephant soldiers, it directly excluded the three large races of minotaurs, wild boars, and bears.
After the three powerful orcs were eliminated, the only races to choose from were werewolves, tigers, and apes.
In the end, the ape-people were able to win, in addition to their agile skills, their excellent stone-throwing ability was also an important weight for them to stand out.
When the ape-people used to live in the jungle, they had no decent tools, so they had to use stones to attack small beasts.
Not being able to hunt enough food means starving, and possibly even starving to death.
It was in this cruel natural selection that the apes developed a very good ability to throw stones, and they were trained to throw from an early age, so that every ape-man was an excellent thrower.
For physical reasons, the powerful orcs are insulated from long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, but they are very well suited to throwing javelins.
The warriors of the powerful orc clan are each extremely powerful, and the javelins they throw have a powerful armor-piercing ability, which is definitely a weapon to kill the enemy.
At the beginning, the Ten Thousand Beasts League wanted to create an orc army that specialized in throwing javelins.
However, due to the high manufacturing process of javelins, and iron-striking is not something that orcs are good at.
In addition, javelins are an expensive consumable, as long as they lose once, those javelins thrown are equivalent to all given to the enemy, and with the strength of the Ten Thousand Beast Alliance, they can't afford this kind of consumption.
On the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, there are mountains everywhere and stones everywhere, and the ape-man warriors can easily obtain the stones wherever they go.
The strength of the ape warriors is not much worse than that of the other powerful orcs, and if they are hit by the stones they throw, they will also die.
The stones thrown by the ape-man warriors do not have the piercing and bleeding abilities of the javelin, but they also have the ability to pierce armor.
Javelins are an expensive consumable, and stones are everywhere on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, so the javelin corps that has not yet been formed is directly stillborn, and is replaced by semi-long-range slingers with cameo appearances by ape warriors.
Since this throwing ability is practiced by ape warriors since childhood, and those ape players who are halfway monks do not have this ability, the slingers of the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance are all aboriginal ape warriors.
The Jungle Elephant Legion's elephants need to be capable of long-range attacks, and the ape-warriors took on the task.
Since there is no need to take on melee combat tasks on the back of a jungle elephant, each ape elephant is equipped with only an arm shield and a rucksack.
The gimbal shield is attached to the forearm of the ape-warrior and is used to block enemy ranged attacks.
The backpack is filled with pebbles the size of a goose egg, and if you are hit on the head by such pebbles, you will suffer a serious concussion even if you wear a helmet.
This jungle elephant army was originally an important hole card of the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance, but now it has become a trump card in the hands of Li Corgi.
Tonight, if it weren't for the burrows dug by the rat and rabbit people to discourage this army of jungle elephants, I am afraid that the camp would have been bloody by this time.
Sooner or later, however, the Tigermen had to come, and after the Tiger Warriors had managed to fill in a passage, there was nothing left to stop the Jungle Elephant Legion from storming the camp.
As the three jungle elephants walked side by side on the passage, a large group of owl warriors quickly flew behind them, following closely to prevent the Silver Pegasus Knight from attacking the jungle elephant and the ape-man elephants above.
As the jungle elephants carrying ape-man elephants slowly walked down the passage to the camp, everyone was paying full attention to their every move, and the silver Pegasus knights in the camp raised their hearts to their throats.
One hundred meters, seventy meters, fifty meters.
"Gather fire on the eyes of those war elephants and the elephant slaves around their necks."
When the jungle elephant came to a distance of only fifty meters from the camp, Bass finally gave the order to attack.
