At this time, the three major empires of mankind had formed a united front. Although the orcs attacked fiercely and unexpectedly possessed extremely strong siege capabilities, the three empires managed to contain their continuous advance.

The place where the Eighth Army was drawn was not actually the territory of the Holy Lion Empire, but the territory of a kingdom that was originally buffered between the Holy Lion Empire and the Botswana Empire.

The orcs chose to attack both empires at the same time, and this buffer zone became a territory for the three parties to fight for—well, it should be said that they were both sides. While the Holy Lion Empire and the Botswana Empire are still at odds with each other, defending against the orcs is the number one priority for both countries.

The Eighth Army was stationed in a relatively large city. This city was the largest city in the kingdom of the Eighth Army outside of the royal capital, but at this time, this once prosperous city had only a large number of soldiers left, and no residents existed.

This kingdom is secretly controlled by the Holy Lion Empire, and at this critical moment, the younger brother naturally has to take care of it, the residents of the city where the Eighth Army is stationed have all been relocated not long ago, and the Eighth Army and the Fourth Army of the Holy Lion Empire are now stationed together in this city called Shirek.

Speaking of which, the Fourth Army of the Holy Lion Empire is four places higher than the Eighth Army in terms of establishment, but in fact, the overall strength of the current Fourth Army is not as good as the Eighth Army. In addition to the fact that the Eighth Army has added a thousand-man mage regiment, it is more because the original Fourth Army has almost been destroyed, and the current Fourth Army is newly built.

After hearing Paramount's introduction, Yu Fei felt even more weird. The Eighth Route Army is not enough, do you need to add a New Fourth Army? Is there still a broadsword team or something? Thinking of joking. Yu Fei asked casually.

I didn't expect Paramount to answer seriously. There is indeed a team of the Broadsword. It was made up of some remaining officers of the former Fourth Army. They have an unspeakable hatred for orcs and would rather fight with their lives.

This team was originally called the Officers' Death Squad, but later because most of these officers used knives as weapons, they were nicknamed the Broadsword Squad.

Yu Fei is really speechless now, he better be the head of his own independent regiment, the New Fourth Army Broadsword Team or something is completely loveless!

Yu Fei didn't have to wait too long, and three days after the Eighth Army entered Ciric City, the orc troops finally hit here.

As a high-ranking officer. Yu Fei saw some of the human rout troops fleeing into Cirek City from the tower. However, more human soldiers were not let in because the orcs were following too closely, but died under the walls of Ciric City.

If he had to put it back in the past, Yu Fei would definitely feel disgusted by this kind of behavior of not saving him. However, after being a tree for so long, he seems to have looked down on the loss of life, and is unmoved—especially since these lost lives are nothing more than aliens in his eyes.

However, the arrival of orc soldiers in the city means that the quiet days of the mage group are coming to an end. Yu Fei's magicians were divided into two groups, led by two firmament-level magicians, Scott and Morton, respectively, and rotated in two shifts.

Almost three-fifths of the magicians under Yu Fei's command were earth-type magicians, not the most fashionable and lethal fire-type magicians in the army. Yu Fei was a little surprised at first. However, after Scott explained it, he also understood.

This is actually an act of experience. The Holy Lion Empire and the Orc Race have been at war for more than a month, and the biggest problem found is that the city wall that humans rely on as a barrier is relatively vulnerable to the inexplicable attack of the Orc Race. It doesn't work as well as it should.

Catapults that can produce incendiary bombs and wolf cavalry that can wreak havoc on the walls of the city make it impossible for humans to have a defensive advantage.

After suffering a lot of losses, the Holy Lion Empire has finally found a way to work, and that is to use magic.

Most of the orcs who have turned green seem to be completely ill with magic, and the ability to inflict great damage on the walls is also a mysterious force, whether it is an incendiary catapult or a wolf cavalry, it has nothing to do with magic.

It has also been proven that magic can indeed bring more effective damage to orcs. Correspondingly, the use of magic in defense can also have a considerable effect on the attacks of the orcs.

Fortifying the walls with earth magic is a method used by humans and even all races of Eslazze, and when the Night Elves raided the hinterland of the Holy Lion Empire before, they saw how hard the walls of the mage group and mage tower were when they combined them to strengthen the city.

As the second largest city in the local kingdom, the city of Shirek naturally has a mage tower, located not far behind each of the walls. The spells cast by the mages inside the Mage's Tower are fully capable of working on the walls and further beyond the walls.

The orcs were more cautious, and when they attacked Ciric City, they did not attack directly, but surrounded Cirek City first. Yu Fei roughly estimated that the number of orcs surrounding Cirek City was about 300,000.

In fact, this number is not as large as the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army combined, but the combat effectiveness is the opposite of the number.

In terms of defense, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were responsible for two city walls. Yu Fei's mage group was also stationed in the two mage towers—not all of them, of course.

Yu Fei divided the Eighth Army mage regiment into two shifts, each with five squads, led by a cloud-level magician. Of the five squads, there are two mage towers each, and the remaining one is used as a mobile force to fight fires in two places.

As for Yu Fei himself, he was not stationed in the mage tower. His identity is a spiritual magician, and ordinary mage towers can't increase spiritual magic, so Yu Fei simply stayed directly on the city tower.

The orcs didn't play any tricks, and soon after completely surrounding the city of Cirek, they launched a tentative attack.

However, for the orcs, it was only a tentative attack, but it made the humans in Ciric City feel like a great enemy. Because this first wave of attacks was sent by the strange catapult of the orc clan.

In Yu Fei's observation, the orc catapult projected. The boulder is not as big as the mountain giants throw. Hitting the walls of Cirek City did not cause much instant damage to the walls.

But after the boulder fell, the part of the city wall that was bombarded weirdly ignited some flames. The hard city wall gradually cracked under the scorching flames.

Sure enough, it's the Orc's catapult, or the version with an upgraded burning effect. Yu Fei was relieved. In previous battles, the Orcs, a catapult that could make the walls burn, had caused humans a lot of pain.

But after so much war, humanity has found some effective ways to deal with it - it's time for the mages to help.

The various mage towers of Cirek City poured out a large amount of earthy yellow light and a small amount of aqua blue light, covering the walls of Cirek City.

The earthy yellow light is naturally the effect of earth-based magic, and the cracked and even smashed parts of the city wall by boulders are gradually repaired under the action of these earthy yellow lights, as if a hand is reshaping the city wall like a clay man.

When the aqua-blue light reached the city wall, it suddenly turned into a stream of water, extinguishing the flames burning all over the city wall, so that they could no longer cause subsequent damage to the city wall.

It was not surprising for the orcs outside the city to see this, as humans had already used such a method in some previous cities. In fact, the Burning Catapult was able to keep the human mages in check, so that they could only be busy repairing and maintaining the walls instead of casting a large amount of killing magic to inflict damage on the orcs, which was already very satisfying to the orcs.

However, even if the burning catapult is neutralized by the mages in Cirek City, the orcs have two other types of siege weapons. (To be continued......)
