Chapter 240: Eve's Doubts

The orcs were repulsed.

Seeing the army of orcs slowly receding like a tide, Alice, the saint of nature, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, together with the Druid players, she began to rescue the other players who had been injured in the defensive battle just now.

The orcs have more than a thousand warriors killed in battle, but the players have also suffered no small casualties.

The level of players involved in defensive missions is generally low, and even with the protection of the city walls, nearly 500 players have returned to the world tree.

As for the number of injured players, there are more than 1,000 players.

However, compared to the orcs, this loss is already small.

Not to mention that those players who died also rushed back through the teleportation circle as soon as they were resurrected.

Therefore, in fact, the defensive strength of the entire castle did not decrease much.

If anything, the only losses were the fortifications and the city walls that had been destroyed by the orcs and the Beamon behemoths in the battle just now.

And after the players cheered, they also began to clean up the battlefield.

Under the coordination of the two legion commanders, some players began to gather the equipment dropped by the orcs on the city wall; Some players began to repair the walls that were damaged during the battle; Some players also obtained the permission of Zero the Divine Favorite, opened the city gates, and came to the city wall to collect the equipment left behind after the orc army retreated......

It's weird to say, obviously the battle was fierce, and both sides almost fought desperately, but after the battle, there was not a single corpse on the battlefield, only blood stains and equipment in one place......

This strange situation made the native elves look at the eyelids, but the players had long been used to it, and they didn't care as if they were nothing.

As the players cleaned up, the city wall became lively again for a while.

However, having won a big victory, the atmosphere in the Black Dragon Castle at this moment was much more relaxed than before the battle.

Even...... The players were faintly more agitated.

The benefits of more than a thousand dead orcs far outweigh the losses of players.

And having tasted the sweetness of the big plot, players can't wait for the next round of siege by the orcs.

"These orcs have so much experience! I just killed a fighter with the others and I got 5,000 XP straight away! ”

A level 11 third-test player said excitedly as he looked at his experience bar.

"Hey, it's only 5000? I rushed to the front, although I died once, but the cumulative contribution was more than 200%, and the experience directly rose by more than 30,000! This half-orc has higher experience than human mercenaries! ”

Another Meat Shield Warrior player proudly raised his scimitar in his hand.

"But you're dead once! Isn't it a loss? ”

"Hehe, I'm from the Meng Meng Committee, a mocking warrior of our guild, and if you die in battle in a big story mission, you will be reimbursed for your contribution."

"I wipe ...... Envy! ”

“……”

However, there are still quite a few players who simply like the feeling of the battle they just had:

"Exciting! This is what war should feel like, and the previous RPG games are weak! ”

"Rejoice! It's a lot more fun than fighting Warcraft! ”

"Really...... After just fighting for a while, they had a little touch, and they retreated! It's a shame......"

The players tasted the sweetness, and their fighting spirit was completely mobilized, and when they looked at the army of orcs in the distance again, their eyes had completely changed:

"They shouldn't be coming, right?"

"Don't worry, there must be the next wave of siege! How many people did they lose? Definitely won't give up. ”

"Haha! If you wipe out all these orcs, how much experience will you have to have! ”

"Hehe, it's not a problem to be promoted to the middle position of Black Iron!"

"Haha! I've just told my friends over there about our ambush, and they're dying of envy. ”

"Hey, hey, who told them not to choose to defend the city?"

The players were very happy and their morale was high.

However, the half-orcs who retreated were very decadent and embarrassed.

Imsh, the Lionheart, withdrew from the castle with less than nine thousand orcs, his face very ugly:

"Careless...... I didn't expect the elves to gather such a strong force. ”

He originally thought that with 10,000 troops and five Beamon giant beasts, it would be easy to capture the Black Dragon Castle, but he didn't expect to gnaw hard bones......

"It seems...... Or turn to the power of the Father. ”

Imsh, the Lionheart, clenched his fists.

If he had taken down the elves with mere worldly power, he would have greatly pleased the true gods, but now it seems ...... The Totem Guardian must be summoned.

The gods of the elven clan have appeared, and the castle's defense is very strong, and it seems that it is blessed with divine power......

If you only rely on the orcs to fill with their lives, it will be a huge loss!

Thinking of this, King Imsh the Lionheart took a deep breath and commanded to the left and right:

"Bring the High Priest to ......"

A moment later, the chief high priest of the orcs, accompanied by two silver priests, came to Imsh, the Lionheart.

"Lord, it seems that your attack is not going well."

The chief high priest, who wore a bony crown on his head and had oil paint on his face, smiled slightly.

And in her hand, she still holds a skull necklace that is constantly glittering.

It's just that at this moment, the red on the necklace seems to be a little darker......

Imsh, the Lionheart, narrowed his eyes and took a deep look at the necklace in her hand, as if he was very jealous.

As if sensing his gaze, the high priest touched the necklace in his hand and chuckled:

"Don't worry, my lord, I won't use this artifact until the last moment."

Lionheart was silent.

After a moment, he glanced at the high priest with a complicated look and said slowly:

"I underestimate the power of the elves, High Priestess, and I decided to summon the Totem Guardian directly. Are you ready to summon the altar? ”

Listening to King Lionheart's words, the chief high priest nodded, his expression fanatical:

"Of course!"

"We can always ask for the power of the Father if you wish!"

……

The players cleaned up the battlefield very quickly.

There's no corpse, just the need to pick up equipment, and that's what players do best.

Soon, the ground under the city walls was completely empty, and the players didn't even let go of the clothes on the orcs, and took them all back......

On the city walls, the damaged fortifications are also being repaired in an orderly manner.

Everyone, looking forward to the next attack of the orcs.

However, Eve's expression on the city wall was a little solemn......

"Just ...... Something is fighting with me for life force. ”

A similar situation reappeared after the deaths of several people in Demacia.

In the battle just now, nearly half of the life force in the bodies of those half-orcs who died in battle was not absorbed by Eve's war sacrifice!

Especially those orcs who died outside the city walls, even if the skill triggered the war sacrifice, Eve did not get much vitality, but seemed to evaporate out of thin air.

Fortunately, the vitality of the dead players was 100% recovered, and the vitality of the orcs who died on the city walls was almost completely received by Eve.

However, on the whole, about one-third of the more than 1,000 orcs who died in battle are still missing.

Although on the whole, Eve still earned, but it was less than she expected.

That's a loss.

"It's a power similar to sacrifice! But...... It should not be a true god, nor an evil god, because the other party's absorption of life force seems to be just a mechanism, or instinct, more like some kind of sacrifice, or ...... Artifact! ”

"I'm afraid...... It's the same thing I sensed earlier! ”

"This ability to absorb life force is very secretive, if it weren't for me being controlling the war sacrifice and completely controlling the life priesthood, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed it at all!"

"What the hell are orcs up to?"

"Looks like I'm going to have to be careful......"

And just as Eve was thinking, she suddenly ...... Her heart moved, and she sensed a faint change in the box of the dead stored in the kingdom of God.

Hela, the god of death, has a message back.
