Chapter 31: The Beheading Operation (Part II)
"Onward, brothers!"
Under the fiery red sky, a three-hundred-man assault team marched all the way to the Hellfire Fortress with the orcs unsuspected. Countless orc guards were wiped out by the sword of the Ember Bringer.
However, just at the city walls, Ares and his party encountered stubborn resistance from the orcs. Wave after wave of orcs with heavy, crude weapons blocked the path of the Alliance team.
The in-game Hellfire wall is a short wall, with a small number of orc warriors and warlocks, and they will stand silly in place, waiting for you to destroy them one by one. Here, however, this is not the case at all...... A steady stream of red-skinned orc infantry came from all around the walls, along with a small number of orc warlocks and hellhounds. The terrifying sounds of demons and roars and orc warlocks all irritate the sensitive nerves of the team members.
The walls of the entire Hellfire Fortress are intricate and intertwined, so that it can be said that it is almost a large fortress complex, with ups and downs of the walls intertwined with dogs and teeth, and it is all over the look. Flaming battle flags and roaring orcs were everywhere.
Ares roared and slashed down an orc, and soon the second orc leaped into the air and slammed the hammer down with a roar. Ares raised his sword to meet it, and the moment the orc's black hammer struck the Ember Bringer, a dazzling light burst from the blade.
Under the strong pressure of the other party, Ares used all his strength to wrestle with it, and the muscles of his whole body were trembling, and then, the paladin roared and pushed the opponent back, and the orc infantry suddenly fell backwards with unstable heels, and Ares took advantage of this opportunity to quickly rush forward and slam the opponent's face with the hilt of his sword, the orc warrior was smashed to the ground, and then he wanted to get up, the big sword above his head had been cut down from top to bottom, and a sword pierced his chest. Blood gushed and stained the shins, red on Ares' feet.
On the other side, Archmage Romans of Quel'Salas waved his hand slightly, and an arcane shockwave like a ball of lightning sent out from his hand, knocking the rushing orc warriors into the air. Blood stained his noble magister robes. It seems easy, but every time you cast a spell, it also consumes the archmage's mana.
A hellhound roared and attacked Weensa, and as Weenlesa fought an orc, the Hellhound struck from behind the Ranger General and pounced on Weenlesa's shoulder. At the last moment, the Silver Moon Ranger Lotherma drew his bow and arrows, and arrows rich in magical energy flew out of the air, shooting directly through the Hellhounds that had already jumped into the air. With a pop, the Hellhound fell to the floor behind Winlessa.
Before she had time to say words of praise and gratitude, Winlessa drew her twin blades and engaged in a bloody battle with the orcs in close proximity. The squad has been surrounded by the orc forces of the Hellfire Fortress. Winlessa and her ranger troop didn't even have room to move, there were orcs everywhere, and long-range shooting turned into melee combat.
However, even in melee combat, Windranger's reach was nimble, and he sideways dodged the slash of the orc battle axe, then quickly turned and shifted behind the orc warrior, the elven dagger piercing the major artery in the neck of the orc infantryman.
Another orc swung a stone hammer at Winlessa, and was nimbly dodged by the Windranger again, the delicate silver moon blade quickly turned in his hand, emitting a metallic beep, and then before the other party could react, a silver light had flashed in front of him, and the elven short sword once again slit the throat of the orc infantry with great precision. Throughout the battle, Wen Leisa's slender waist continued to twist and sway, like an elegant dancer in the wind, a dance of killing. The shot was fast, without any mud and water, and the steps were light, and almost not a single movement was wasted.
This kind of near-sword-to-sword combat made the Alliance's warriors wonder not only if the Windranger was a shooter or a melee assassin.
However, even though Ares led the best of the best, the numerical superiority of the orcs was undeniable. After all, this is their home base. An orc warlock on the tower smiled evilly, and his spell was cast with a clear goal, which was the leader of the army on the city walls, the paladin Ares. Mogrian.
However, almost at the same time as the orc warlock cast the spell, the archmage of Quel'Salas, Romans, also cast the spell, and he noticed the hostility of the orcs on the field, even if he didn't like Ares himself, but right now, the coalition could not live without him. So, at the same time that the orc warlock shot the deadly Shadow Arrow at Ares, the Archmage Roman also cast the Ice Arrow in the direction where the Shadow Arrow was flying.
The two pure spell energies collided violently in the air, the moment the ice arrow hit the shadow arrow, the magic energy exploded, the ice arrow shattered into countless ice slags, splashing in the air, and the shadow arrow was also smashed apart the moment it hit the ice arrow, and the dark energy mixed with the ice slag fell to the ground, instantly turning into a pool of extremely corrosive black water, scorching the leather armor of several orcs.
Unwilling to fail, the orc warlock quickly applied a demonic curse to the elven mage who interfered with his spell casting, however, the archmage Romans was a step ahead, and before the warlock could finish the curse, a terrible frost force froze the throat of the orc warlock, and the orc warlock clutched his throat, revealing a terrible suffocating expression, however, this frost power had just begun to spread, and the frozen lines continued to spread from the orc warlock's throat, approaching the position of the heart. Gradually, the orc warlock's face became bloodless, and the original red skin turned black and blue, and after a while, the orc warlock on the tower stopped his heartbeat.
The angry orc officer jumped and slashed at the elf mage, however, the moment the battle axe landed, only an afterimage appeared on the ground, and the real romance flashed behind the orc warrior in an instant, and the orc officer roared angrily and turned around and rushed away, but his feet were frozen by a powerful force of ice, and the moment he froze, a comet storm blew up, and a bright blue light fell from the sky, which was a hard ice meteorite! Whistling at the frozen orc officer on the ground.
The old orc raised his shield and bent down to meet the fierce blow, but Romans flashed a smile of contempt, and in the next second, the ice meteorite smashed the orc veteran's body like an ant to death, and blood and rotten flesh slowly flowed out from under the stone......
The battle went on so brutally, the corpses of the orcs piled up at the feet of the team members, and although the battle damage between the two sides reached an astonishing ten to one, the number of orcs was still large and increasing, completely surrounding the city wall of Ares's group......
