The royal mages have finished their own round of magic casting, and they are beginning to retreat, ready to condense the next magic and get out of the way to seek refuge from the warriors!

Although there were heavy casualties, the good thing was that this round of magic strikes was over, and Deyong vowed that he would not leave too much time for the enemy to fight the magic strikes, and that he must fight quickly. Because of just this round of magic strikes, the orc hoplites who actually lost their combat effectiveness were reduced by more than 5,000 (not that they were all killed, but that they temporarily lost their combat effectiveness).

He was urging his troops to move on, but when he saw it, he was startled......

The mage's position had indeed shifted just now, but there were still more than a hundred white-robed mages left, and there was a small, almost inaudible spell holding sound in the air, which made him break out in a cold sweat!

This is obviously the enemy's high-level mage holding a spell, it takes such a long time to condense mana, this is obviously at least a high-level mage, and the magic that is about to be cast must not be lower than level 5.

He was right, this was the highest-end mage in the Royal Mage Regiment, and although level 5 magic was not a rarity in Lin Tian's god-given troops, it was indeed not to be underestimated in the aboriginal army. Even if Lin Tian's royal mage group had the best treatment and courtesy, there were only about 100 mages above level 5......

More than thirty thick level 5 pillar of fire spells accurately hit the densest points of the orcs, these almost blue flames were engulfed by the attacked orcs, the metal armor did not last long before being burned, and the warriors who could not escape the attack range of the flame pillar within 1 or 2 seconds were also quickly burned to death......

There was a scorching smell on the battlefield, and I was nauseous!

Dozens of thick ice spikes. Slam into the enemy, as these ice spikes appear above them out of thin air. There is no way to avoid it. Level 5 magic is directly smashed on or worn on the body of the orc warrior, and the guy who is hit has almost no chance of survival. Even though the minotaur reacted quickly and raised his shield at the critical moment, the huge momentum was able to knock them to their knees, and then a large amount of broken ice submerged him......

Even if he recovers from the ice later, if there is no elixir to heal, what can he do with this highly frostbitten body?

Soil level 5 has mud art, which may not be of much use to other agile troops, but for these hoplites, it is a troublesome thing that cannot be troubled. Mud is almost non-lethal. But it had a large range, and more than a dozen mud spells were lined up, so that many warriors in the attack range were enveloped in it, and they were all dressed in heavy armor, and they fluttered hard in this magical mud, some of them were slightly clumsy, and they couldn't escape until they were swallowed up in the mud.

There are still smart people who don't struggle desperately after being hit by magic, because doing so will only make them sink deeper and deeper. Most of these calm and sane guys are tiger people, and they take off their equipment as quickly as they can, and lay these iron plates flat to slow down the sinking speed......

After holding on for a while. The compatriots who reacted pulled them up with leather ropes. As for those who are not smart enough, they have sunk forever.

However, these muds, which can last for a short time, are not completely useless. At least the orc army had to take a detour, and no one wanted to go in and test how deep the water was!

When the gas system is at level 5. There's a powerful magic, thunder and lightning! If you say that the electric ball technique is at the level of thousands of volts. That thunder and lightning technique can reach 100,000 volts, and this lethality is chilling. It's not monolithic, it's actually a small-scale piece of magic, but the orcs in the center have little hope of survival, and the ones on the periphery may be half-dead......

Deyong pricked up his ears, making sure that this time there was really no spell that he could ignore him, and then put his heart back in its place.

But it's always like this, I just don't want him to go with it......

There was a commotion among the defending troops on the earthen wall opposite, and after opening some openings in an orderly manner, nearly a hundred ballistas were launched in the sound of Deyong's scolding!

These ballistas naturally can't be compared with Lin Tian's three-shot giant demon-infused ice ballista, they are all some simple cars that can't be more simple, and they don't use dragon tendons but ordinary beast tendons, and the elastic power brought by them is relatively limited. Even if the crossbow bolt fired, it was not an all-iron powerful enchanted crossbow arrow like Lin Tian, it was basically just a short spear. The body of the gun is an ordinary wooden stick, only the head of the gun is metal.

However, such a simple ballista with limited lethality is not something that orcs can match, this is a war machine that Lin Tian ordered the Ministry of Industry to process and manufacture, which came from the hands of humans and dwarven craftsmen, and it is still much better than the orcs. The most important thing is that there are as many as 100 catapults brought with the team this time, and if it were not for the fact that the catapults were too heavy and the stone bullets were difficult to carry, there would be more than 20 catapults that could participate in the battle.

These ballistas are four-wheel drive, there are 4 people to maintain and operate in peacetime, there are special shooters, archers, loaders and commanders and lookouts, this is the configuration of wartime, usually with a horse to move, on the battlefield 4 people to push a section of the road is also possible, which greatly reduces the difficulty of moving and maintaining, so that these war machines have a place to act with the team.

Ordinary archer shooting, for hoplites, is not a big deal. But these ballistae are different, their iron "spear" heads, driven by the tendons of the beast, are enough to shoot through a pair of iron armor, although they can't cause a flake wound effect like Lin Tian's three-shot giant demonic ice ballista, but here, it is already a good progress.

After a simple aim, the lookout gave the order to shoot. 100 crossbow arrows were shot out almost at the same time, driven by huge kinetic energy, almost in the blink of an eye, they shot at the opposing troops who were charging, and with a tooth-aching friction sound, many orcs were shot through and fell to the ground, and some of the warriors who rushed to the front directly served the street!

Then, the archer controls the wheeled device to pull the bowstring that is still trembling and fix it again, and the loader quickly proceeds to the next reload, and the shooter slowly manipulates the angle of the ballista to lock on to the next target and stand by......

After a simple second confirmation from the shooter's point of view, the lookout gives the command to fire again. The whole process is well-trained, and the whole process takes about 20 seconds to take about 20 seconds, which is already a terrifying battery-level kill point.

Even if the lethality is limited, due to the limited initial velocity of the shot, there is no strong penetration, but the process is simple enough, the material requirements are not high, and it can be put into mass production. The rows were lined up, and the sound of bowstrings was strong one after another, making the orc hoplites feel a lot of pressure.

They weren't as nimble as the light infantry, and while they gained enough defense, they also lost some of their speed advantage, which was not too high even when charging. And the lethality of the opponent's giant crossbow can already bring them a deadly threat...... (To be continued......)
