Chapter Seventy-Three: Repelling the Orcs

Shaking the blood on the armor, Sharif spat at the orc: "Lock him up!" ”

Soon, a legion guard stepped forward, dragged up the orc who had been stunned by Sharif, tied it firmly with an iron chain belonging to the orc itself, and then drove the orc into the Westspring Fortress. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Your Excellency, are you alright?" After lifting his sword and shield, Sharif walked quickly to Xiao Yi's side, and said with annoyance: "I was so careless, I easily fell for someone else's scheme. ”

Looking up at the dragon that was constantly entangled with the griffin, Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "I don't blame you, it's me who is too weak." ”

The battle in the sky continued, and although the griffons seemed to have the upper hand with their numbers and swift movements, they tore the scales of the red dragon's body to pieces, and in many places even the flesh and blood were blurred.

But Xiao Yi knew that the griffins had fallen behind. Although the red dragon looked miserable, the injuries were not serious, although the griffin could easily tear the scales and flesh of the dragon, but the dragon was a dragon, even if it was born.

The huge size of the griffin also made it impossible to inflict serious injuries on it in the true sense, on the other hand, the griffon, in order to maintain the advantage of speed, even if there are many of them, but the long grappling also consumes too much physical energy, and now they only barely maintain some kind of delicate balance with the dragon.

Once the red dragon finds an opportunity to wreak havoc on a particular griffon, the balance between them is upset.

"The griffons are dying! Sharif, is there anything you can do? Suddenly, Xiao Yi asked.

Even if you give the griffons another healing, you won't be able to save the griffons from defeat, after all, this is only a healing skill, not a full-time buff skill.

Smiling bitterly, Sharif said helplessly: "If we have a ballista, I can knock it down when it first appears." ”

The Ballista was a weapon of war for the Templars, not the kind used in ancient warfare, otherwise the blacksmith would have been able to craft it now, rather than waiting for the Legion Acropolis to be completed.

Each of these weapons of war, carefully designed by the master of the military industry, is extremely valuable, and combines the magic skills of the Seven Cities Alliance with the rune forging of the dwarves, so that the huge ballista can be operated by only a few people.

The crossbow made of enchanted metal is not to mention a young dragon that has been spawned, and even if an adult dragon is present in person, it will lose three taels of flesh with one arrow.

But Xiao Yi didn't ......

"Gather the wounded! All the staff took refuge in the West Spring Fortress! Suddenly, Xiao Yi shouted loudly to the remaining legion guards.

Judging from the initial shouts of the long-knife orcs, the purpose of the orcs should be to attack their own troops, perhaps to pass the attack from the front line, and then use the red dragon to gather the troops gathered in the rear and use the red dragon to wipe them out.

Of course, it is also possible that the front line was also attacked by large-scale orcs, and then sent the red dragon to the rear to kill the peasants, no matter which one it is, the attack on Xiao Yi may have been improvised by the orcs, which can be seen from the fact that the female orcs did not hesitate to give up Xiao Yi after the failure of the attack.

Xiao Yi finished ordering the soldiers, then turned around and pulled Sharif and said: "After everyone is hiding, let the griffons retreat, we can't lose them, by the way, send someone to report to Christine to prevent the dragon from raiding them in the past!" ”

Xiao Yi's idea is to take advantage of the simple intelligence of the young dragon, and then empty all the nearby creatures, and then let the griffons evacuate, lose the target, and the red dragon is seriously injured, there is a high probability that it will return to Stormwind City on its own.

Of course, it is also possible that the dragon, after losing its target, will go to the front line troops that are resisting the enemy's attack.

But Xiao Yi really can't stand the loss of the only nine griffons he has now, this is the only air power in the City of Heroes!

While Xiao Yi was worrying about how to deal with the dragon, Christine in front of him was very easy to resist the orcs with his soldiers.

With the Legion Guards at the core, he had his own sword and shield men and spearmen protect the wings of the Legion Guards, and the Rangers and a small number of attacking cavalry roaming the rear of the infantry phalanx.

The archers were placed on a high ground on the left side of the phalanx, across the river from the orcs.

Because the only bridge that could cross the river had been destroyed, the orcs had to cross the river to attack, and the not turbulent but deep river meant that the orcs had to shed their heavy iron armor and replace it with light leather armor.

The once clear river is now muddy, with years of silt mixed with dark red blood, and occasionally a broken piece of tissue can be seen brought from the bank to the middle of the river by the flowing water, and then swirled and caught by aquatic weeds.

Several orc corpses lay on the riverbank, dark red blood staining the beach beneath them a dark red.

The silver-white shield emblazoned with her coat of arms resembled a wall of steel, and the spears scattered throughout it reflected silver in the sunlight, many of which were stained with undried blood.

Christine did not charge forward this time, uncharacteristically with his sword and all the guards to the high ground behind the phalanx.

"Christine! Let's get on! Guaranteed to crush your enemies with a single charge! Barton said impatiently, holding his two-handed greatsword.

Although the orcs also launched several small charges, these ordinary orc warriors did not take advantage of the absolute defense of the legion guards, but left a few corpses behind.

Knowing that it was impossible to crush the enemy head-on, the enemy commander did not attack again, except for organizing another wave of throwing attacks, which was then suppressed by the archer corps, and all that remained was an endless standoff.

Shaking his head, Christine said in a deep voice: "No, although the number of enemies is not large, but there are hundreds of people, it may not be able to fight in the face of the group of legion guards, but with just a few of us, it is estimated that we will be killed just after passing." ”

Christine, who is good at analysis and calculation, is obviously very calm, although his own side has the advantage in numbers, but he does not take the initiative to attack, because the other side of the river is a dense jungle, and the woods will disrupt his tight formation.

This gave the orcs who were stronger individually and better at skirmishes a chance, so Christine never had any intention of crossing the river.

After rushing to the front line, Christine immediately discovered that the enemy's attack was nothing more than a huge momentum, and the number of real enemies was not large, no more than two hundred people at most.

And in several encounters with the enemy, he found that compared to the orcs he had encountered before, the strength of these orc warriors was much worse! If he had to go all out to defeat the orcs he encountered before, then he still had the strength to fight three at the same time for the ones he encountered today!

These are just auxiliary units of the orcs!

Time passed slowly in the confrontation between the two sides, and the river became clear again, and if it weren't for the orcs who appeared at the edge of the forest from time to time, even Christine would have thought that the enemy had retreated!

"Whew!" The wolf howl was heard in the forest in the distance, and then the jungle on the other side of the river began to be lively, the roar of the wolf beasts, the shouting and scolding of the orcs, and the wails of pain made the corners of Christine's mouth smile.

He's not going to be here forever! The dire wolf, which had long been covered by the dense forest during the war, had already detoured back to the rear of the orcs!

The cunning hunters of these forests are much more clever than these clumsy orcs who only know how to hide their bodies with the help of dense jungles!

Nearly a thousand dire wolves may not be able to wipe out all the enemies, but in the jungle with a narrow line of sight, the dire wolves will exert their highest strength, and they still attack suddenly in a state of sneak attack.

Christine could already imagine how panicked the enemy was now.

"Lord Christine!" Suddenly, a legionary guard with blood on his armor came running from afar, and in order to lighten his load, he had no weapons other than a long sword.

"How's it going?" Christine frowned, the enemy here was no longer a threat, but he had been worried about Xiao Yi's side, and the huge body of the red dragon had been pressing on his heart.

This legion guard was Xiao Yi's personal guard, and he gasped for breath as he ran: "Lord Lord is very good. ”

"Because our air force is weak, the griffons are not able to deal effective damage to the dragons, so Lord Lord, I asked you to tell you that he intends to give up the strangulation of the dragons and let the griffons retreat."

As he spoke, he swallowed two mouthfuls of spit and breathed a sigh of relief: "The dragon may return directly to the enemy's base camp, or it may continue to attack you, so Lord Lord needs you to be prepared." ”

Hearing that Xiao Yi was okay, Christine breathed a sigh of relief, and he muttered: "Order the shooter regiment to pay attention to the enemy's air force!" Order the rangers to change their sabers and attack! ”

After two orders in a row, Christine whispered to the guards around him, "I need to crush the enemy on the other side of the river with the fastest courier!" ”

Nodding silently, the guards drew their weapons one after another and began to move.

Barton cracked his mouth and laughed, and he exchanged fists with Cole, and with a flick of his broadsword, he followed the guards down to the high ground, and jumped to the opposite beach.

As soon as he walked into the woods, a female orc with green skin pounced on him with a one-handed axe.

Lifting his foot, Barton kicked him hard in the stomach and, holding his two-handed sword in both hands like a polearm, severed the head of one of the male orcs who attacked him from the side.

"Kill them all!" Wiping his sour blood, Barton roared and charged.

As the guards rushed into the jungle, Christine was less worried about the enemy on the other side of the river, and their rout was only a matter of time. What he needs to guard against now is a dragon that may be coming!

Fortunately, perhaps the dragon did not come to attack them, until the shouts of killing on the other side of the river gradually subsided, and the dragon did not arrive.
