Chapter 557: Carpet Bombing

"Prepare to attack!"

"Hold on to the rope!"

"Hurry up, pull forward, you lazy!"

The furious shouts of the orcs came and went, the huge siege ladders were slowly pulled, and the hundreds of siege machines, including trebuchets, had no lubricated bearings, and the sound of "crunching" was everywhere in everyone's ears as they marched through the forest full of dead branches.

There was no way, although they had the manufacturing drawings and learned to improve the craftsmanship in the process of siege after siege, but a race with almost no industrial base could only make things like this in a short period of time - many trebuchets even ran off the wheels and broke the bearings during the march, causing a group of temporary sappers to rush to remedy.

But the two Overseers now knew that this was not something that could be changed anytime soon, and they had now turned all their attention to the crumbling and old walls two kilometers away.

Be sure to take it!

Neither Racol nor Duda is the Overseer. Although the two of them reached an intention to coordinate the attack here, they also longed to become the unique chief of the entire tribe.

As for Sauron, judging from the information reported by the fortress, this guy actually led his own team into the interior of the kingdom of Karen - in the eyes of the two Overseers, Sauron was clearly out of his mind to do so. However, thinking that Zoro's strong elite has finally come to a dead end, Racol and Duda can sleep more comfortably at night.

The two Overseers did not travel on the same path, but agreed on a time to attack from the southeast and southeast of Elson - after all, both were tribal chiefs, and the troops they brought with them would only listen to them, and it would be no good to force them together.

The troops began to move slowly, with a small number of wolf cavalry in front as scouts, and an array of more than 10,000 infantry crowding to follow behind. The logistics troops were located outside the city, and the baggage was constantly transported over kilometers. Obviously, there has been no attack on the other fortresses of Evta these days, and the fortress captured by the orcs has become a strong position for them, and they have been held safely and securely.

All the orcs now have a consensus: as long as Elson City is captured, the orcs can use it as a base and start breaking through the human defenses one by one!

But just as the orcs were moving forward with excitement, someone suddenly pointed to the sky: "Hey, that big rock seems to be moving—"

"You're dazzled, haven't you? It hasn't moved since the first day I saw it. ”

"Really, I didn't lie to you... He's really moving! Look, they're all moving this way!"

The trees outside Elson were sparse, and everyone could see the crumbling and withered walls of the city, with figures swaying on them, but at a glance they knew that there were not many defenders. But at this moment, the orcs were obviously more concerned about the floating towers floating in the sky - the naïve orcs raised their heads and pointed, but they didn't know what it meant.

There are a total of eighteen floating towers in Elson City, and at this time, except for the central floating tower, which is still suspended at a distance of more than 400 meters in the middle of the city, the remaining seventeen small floating towers have been suspended in an array above the air at a height of 200 meters, facing the southeast of the city in two directions.

That is, they are now aiming at the approaching orc troops.

At the same moment, in the core area of the Floating Tower of the Pachar Magic Tower, Camilla looked down at the magic map that appeared in front of her, and gently pointed her finger to activate the attack mode of all the floating towers.

"The enemy estimates thirteen thousand, which is a little less than expected, but enough to complete the task he gave me..."

This central control area can instantly control the movement of the floating tower and the current energy release mode - after turning on the "attack mode", Camilla hesitated for a moment, then firmly reached out and pressed it in the center of the circle, and gave the "attack" command with the "guardian" authority!

"Wow-"

A series of explosions came from outside the tower, and Camilla did not observe the damage of the orcs at this time, but stared at the instantly dim magic circle, waved her hands, and quickly replaced the new charged crystals on the socket with a spell - the exhausted crystals bounced off the ground, bringing a "clanging" sound.

Roddy always said that war is "burning money", and Camilla used to think that the amount of silver coins spent on forging weapons was already astronomical, but compared to the more than 600 charged crystals consumed at one time by "Concentrated Coverage Strike", it was really a small number...

"If you hit it three times, the spar that you have worked so hard to accumulate will be in a hurry again..."

Camila pursed her lips, but her eyes were still calmly looking at the "projection" circle used to observe the enemy, and at this look, she was finally shocked and gasped...

Because the orc army has become a human purgatory in the blink of an eye.

Without warning, spell strikes rained down from the sky, and each floating tower carpet-bombarded with "Arcane Missiles" based on the energy of thirty charged hedrons.

The "Arcane Missile" is not very powerful, because it is a pure energy attack spell, the power of the explosion is much stronger than the arrows of ordinary soldiers, and it also has the shockwave damage of explosion splash. However, when facing a knight wearing plate armor, he can't kill it with a single blow. If you want to kill a heavily armored target, at least three "Arcane Impacts" are sufficient.

However, the total number of "Arcane Missiles" cast by the Floating Tower in one round of covering attacks has exceeded 13,000...

This spell was developed by Roddy specifically and prioritized for dealing with siege enemies. In the era of cold weapons, dense military formations are simply the most suitable targets. So when these "arcane missiles" poured down, the entire orc army formation was completely beaten into pulp by the impact of the explosion.

There is no need for a second blow anymore.

The explosions were concentrated in the besieging troops and infantry phalanxes, and the unarmored troops had no time to dodge them, and they were blown to pieces by the blows that fell from the sky - the arms, legs, flesh and intestines flying in the sky almost rained blood all around!

All the siege equipment was blown into sawdust fragments, and along with the sappers standing nearby, they became fertilizer in the forest. Also blown to the ground were those trees that were dozens of meters long... More than three square kilometers of ground seemed to be plowed by "arcane missiles", and there was only one bloody place as far as the eye could see.

This rough way of fighting directly stunned the orc troops.

The wolf cavalry patrolling ahead escaped because they were not within striking range, but when they looked back, they didn't even know where they were going next.

The wolf cavalry brigade of the two orc armies survived because they followed the rear of the team, and the total number of more than 3,000 of them panicked and tried to escape, but they were covered by a precise strike from the central floating tower - the "No. 53" shells tested by Roddy himself were scattered and exploded, and the bursting shells that could raze the village directly blasted the wolf cavalry into the air.

One on one side, not to mention how many orcs were killed by the two wolf cavalry brigades, the wolf was basically shocked to death in the impact of the explosion!

In order to save energy, the "Phantom Enchantment" that was originally maintained had been closed at this time, and the only wolf cavalry scout on the entire battlefield who had not been hit saw the real appearance of the city wall at this moment: what made their eyes widen was that the gate of Elson City was actually open!

Not only that, but there are patches of well-grown farmland outside the city gates, and there are village buildings that have just been built...

This... Is it really preparing for war?

They didn't have time to think about it, because a cavalry force of more than a thousand men had already poured out of the open gate, and from the shining silver armor, it was clear that it was a heavy cavalry unit, but when it ran, the opponent's speed was faster than the normal light cavalry!

Seeing the other party's fierce surge, the wolf cavalry scouts immediately turned their heads and ran: they only add up to a few dozen people, where is the opponent of this kind of force?

But not long after they ran reflexively, they completely collapsed - as far as the eye could see, all they could see were the shattered corpses of the main force after the bombardment. Ten hundred may not be nothing, but when they see the "bloody road" paved with the limbs of more than six thousand people, they can no longer bear it at all, and they stop one by one.

Some of the orcs were so frightened that they fell straight from the wolf, and some fell to their knees and wept bitterly - it was obviously not the enemy who was terrible to the orcs, but the death that they did not know how.

The vast majority of the thousands of orcs who served as Overseer's guards survived the strike. After all, they are the strongest group of orc warriors in the Nehemian steppes, even if they are only wearing leather armor, they still rely on their strong physical fitness to withstand the blow of the "Arcane Missile". However, Duda's luck was not so good - he was hit in the chest by an arcane missile, and he was knocked five or six meters away on the spot, completely unconscious. On the other side, the Overseer of Racol was much luckier, only to be scratched on the cheek by the flying stones.

But at this time, he looked at the battlefield that was in ruins, and he couldn't even speak.

After more than ten days of preparing siege equipment, that's it?

A team of more than 10,000 people was scrapped like that?

The power that he had worked so hard to accumulate was just blown to pieces?

Originally full of energy and ambition, the overseer of Racol turned pale and sat down on top of the wolf as if he had lost his soul, and remained indifferent to the approach of the cavalry of Sodrore in front of him...

If the heart is dead, there will be no way to fight this battle.

But the lieutenant and the guards instinctively escorted the Overseers to cover the retreat - even the unconscious Duda Overseers were held back by their loyal men, and fled the battlefield with the only remaining troops.

But the orcs who fled in a hurry didn't notice... As they rushed into the forest, a snake figure hovering over an ancient tree opened its vertical eyes and moved its body that had not moved for a long time. (To be continued.) )
