Chapter 72: The First Battle
Such a military force still looks very deterrent, and the Ogre of Goriaia is much stronger than the Ogre of Goldron.
The equipment is more sophisticated, of course, that is, the metal armor is slightly more, and it still looks a little rudimentary.
Inexplicably, Izzy suddenly wondered if he should confess to Leah as soon as possible, God knows if he would be able to survive after this battle.
"emmm....." Izzy realized that he wanted to set up a flag, and quickly dispelled this idea.
The ogre's team was still assembled, and Izzy hesitated before he finally saw a squad of the ogres approaching this way.
Hurriedly took out the "WeChat" gemstone necklace, and said a word to the ghost.
"Sister Leah, what do you want to eat next time?"
After saying that, the ogre's squad approached, and Izzy looked over to see that it was actually an ogre overseer, a two-headed ogre, and a group of guards.
"Who is in charge of you slaves?" roared the ogre.
Izzy smiled, looked at the Ogre Overseer, and said, "If you leave your dog alone, I'll kill him, I'm serious." ”
When the ogre saw that it was an orc child talking, he immediately showed a look of disdain.
"Sure enough, it's a group of disgusting slaves, without a little discipline, little beasts can follow ....."
Izzy blasted through the lava that had been charging for ten minutes, and the ogre was gone.
"It's much better now, it's up to me here, you shameful dogs, our chief has gone to the Keshhag celebration, and if you have something to say, your grandfather and I don't have time to listen to the barking of dogs. ”
The orcs on the watchtower laughed collectively, and Izzy had a good opening effect.
The ogre Overseer's face contorted, and he roared loudly:
You wretched slaves will be locked up in the dungeon again, this time there will be no mercy, you will be fodder for maggots, and I, the High Overseer of the Gorian Empire, will make sure that you suffer even more, and I will .....
Another burst of lava from Izzy slammed into the area, killing the shield-wielding guard in front of him.
The ogre Overseer's face changed immediately.
"Retreat, go back, hurry, hurry!" he finally realized that he was not safe.
The Broken Hand Orcs were going to laugh like crazy, and the Ogre Overseers looked like dogs.
Izzy began to think about killing him directly, but looking at the guards beside him, he felt that there was no chance, and the mage was obviously confident in his arcane shield, but unfortunately Izzy was more confident in his spells.
"Alright, prepare for battle, check the weapons, prepare the spearman, let's slaughter this scum. Izzy gave the order.
The Ogre Overseers returned to their army and immediately attacked, and to be honest, Izzy suspected that they would have no other orders than to attack and retreat.
"Get closer, and then attack. ”
The ogre is getting closer.
Izzy gave an order: "Release!"
Countless wooden spears flew out, and due to the strong physique of the orcs, the wooden spears they threw were full of lethality, and blood flowers began to appear in the ogre team.
"The second group, let's go!"
"Izzy divided them into two groups and fired in a loop, there were many wooden spears, Izzy had been preparing since a few days after he woke up from that nightmare, Izzy was not afraid that the spears would run out, and if they could really run out, the ogre would almost die. ”
"The tower spearmen concentrate on the gates, killing the ogres who crash through them. ”
Izzy glanced at it, the ogre's ladder came, and although they couldn't make siege trebuchets and siege towers, they still did.
After taking a sip of the concentrating potion, Izzy began to condense spells, and the ladder was erected, and a high-pressure water jet shot through, and the ladder was neatly cut in two by the water knife technique.
Izzy was already proficient in controlling this spell, and if it was just a momentary burst, there wasn't much mental power needed to be used.
Looking down, the next wave of ladders would be a little while, and Izzy continued to order.
"The sappers bring more throwing spears, and the spear-throwers are free to shoot, and there is no need to save on throwing spears, and we have to have pointed wooden spears. ”
Looking at the ogre army, nailed to the ground by countless spears like mowing grass, Izzy thought that if the ogre overseer didn't make some new moves, he wouldn't have to fight, and he would be able to open the city gate and kill him in a while.
As soon as he thought of this, Izzy saw that on a rocky platform in the distance, four ogre mages were casting spells together, obviously trying to condense a large spell.
Izzy had already prepared, a huge wind shear, interrupting their spells, and backhand was a lava burst blasting through.
The lava burst was blocked by the combined shield of the four cannibal mages, Izzy frowned, the shield was too hard, and without hesitation, Izzy preemptively condensed the spell.
The Rain of Ice Arrows began to converge on Izzy's head, and the screams of the ice arrows attracted the attention of several ogres.
Izzy also gave a look of contempt when he saw a leading ogre, and Izzy just smiled and continued to condense the spell.
He knew that this man must be thinking, how could one person cast a spell faster than the four of them cast a spell together.
Izzy calculated in his heart that he had just killed an ogre mage in advance, otherwise it would be really difficult to do.
The victory or defeat on the battlefield is focused on the casters of both sides, and both sides are condensing large-scale spells in an attempt to win with one blow.
The ogre's mage is nearing completion, and Izzy's spell is still a little slower after all.
The Hand Breakers were almost all holding their breath, so nervous that they almost forgot to breathe.
Izzy silently felt like he was dancing on a tightrope.
The ogre's mage is nearing completion.
"It's now!" A twinkle in his eyes flashed, and the mental power that Izzy had allocated in advance began to work.
"The ogres were about to throw their completed spell at Izzy when suddenly there was an earthquake under their feet, and the rock lifted against the sand, kicking up a cloud of dust. ”
A 4-meter-tall rock golem stood up, and the ogres on top of him fell unsteadily, and even the spell was interrupted.
The rock golem stepped down and trampled one ogre to death, and the stone fist in his right hand, which was twice as large as his left, smashed into another ogre with a shadow.
The ogre let out a howl of fear, and was slapped into a mess, the rock golem completed his task, and Izzy regained his mental power, and the falling rock killed another group of ogres.
The remaining two ogres ran into the crowd, but an arcane orb of broken magic was already suspended above their heads.
The rain of ice arrows exploded, and in the swirling white mist, the miserable wail made the ogres outside the spell tremble, the white fog dissipated, and the bloody scene frightened the ogre army and fled.
The Ogre Overseers shouted, "Don't retreat, give me up, attack their gates!"
The ogre soldiers, who had lost their armor, fell on deaf ears and retreated to the ogre's camp.
Izzy knew that the attack had been repulsed, and that it would be impossible for the ogre to organize an effective attack today, at least.
The rock golems that had been planted in advance had played a role, and Izzy knew that the ogres would occupy the high ground to cast spells in order to get a good vision of spells, and he prepared one for them, and now that they had no spellcasters, the odds of victory increased a lot.
There were no casualties on the first day, but Izzy had no pride at all, and it felt like fighting a group of strong primitives, with no sense of accomplishment.
"The clan guards continue to be on guard, and the scouts will come to replace them at night, now have a good rest, and I will prepare some food for you. ”
"Oh!" the Broken Hand Orcs cheered, who in the clan didn't know that Izzy's food was delicious?
But after a while, several large pots of vegetables and wooden barrels were carried over.
Potato cakes and braised beef were steamed in wooden barrels, and the warriors ate their dishes with relish, and Izzy also took out two cakes, and sat in front of the campfire with a bowl of vegetables, and the warriors looked at him with reverence.
Izzy smiled and raised his cup, "Cheers to victory!"
"For victory!"
After a bit of noise, Izzy sat back down by the campfire, munching on hash browns and staring at the fire, silently speculating in his mind what might happen tomorrow.
Tomorrow, the five-headed one-eyed demon will come, and his spell can contain the two heads, and the remaining three, ten hundred warriors can easily deal with it, the key is that the wave of charges launched after opening the city gate must kill those giant one-eyed demons, otherwise it will be too dangerous for them to attack the city gate.
His other dense rock golem was able to ensure that after killing the Cyclops, they returned to the camp safely and closed the gates.
A smile gradually appeared on Izzy's face, as long as there were no surprises, this defensive battle was already in control. (Don't you think it's a flag?)
"You're amazing, Redeemer. Izzy looked to the left, and it was Chuck ▪ the Sabretooth Tiger.
"You don't have to call me a savior, call me Izzy, Chuck, how does it feel about your weapon?"
"It feels great, but it's a shame that I haven't had the opportunity to use it today. ”
Izzy smiled: "You don't have to worry about this at all, there will be a time when he will be used, and may it help you gain glory then." ”
"Thank you, Redeemer. ”
"I said it all, don't call me that, my name is Izzy, you can call me that. ”
"Yes, Redeemer, obedience, Redeemer. ”
Izzy was helpless, too lazy to correct him, what a redeemer, he was just a homesick man who wanted to go home.
Tired from his intense concentration, Izzy greeted his guards and slept by the campfire wrapped in blankets.
Izzy felt that he was a cheap life, the more tired he was, the more he slept soundly, and if he wasn't tired, he would have nightmares.
After a comfortable night's sleep, Izzy woke up before dawn, and in addition to the pre-arranged guards on the city wall, Izzy asked the scouts and clan guards to set up tents and rest by the walls.
Ogres have a very good routine, they never attack at night, just like a 9-to-5 office worker, and if they do a night raid, they will strike.
Izzy looked at the ogre camp in the distance, and planned to give them a ruthless attack tonight, as long as the battle during the day caused them huge losses and the gap between the numbers of the two sides narrowed, Izzy was sure that he would beat the ogre back to his hometown in a wave of night attacks tonight.
Waiting silently, the ogre's movement was very strange, it was almost noon now, and before there was any movement, Izzy began to have an ominous premonition in his heart.
It was only in the afternoon that Izzy finally understood the ogre's plans.
They want to crush the Shattered Hand Clan in one fell swoop.
Three real beasts in the distance took heavy steps towards this direction.
"It's Goron!"
