Chapter 67: He is the top
(I'll change it today, but it's a 5,000-word chapter, and I'm lazy.) )
It was already noon on the other side of the portal.
The scorching sun was high, and in the middle of summer, the sweltering heat of Cedra had almost completely drained the moisture here.
The charred earth, with the withered remains of wild grass, trembled slightly as the earth vibrate.
The armies of orcs outside the city had already finished their formations, roaring and approaching Somar step by step.
On the tall city wall, Captain Vines' expression looked particularly grim.
Even though the heat had covered his forehead with beads of sweat, he still felt a chill.
Looking up, at least more than 30,000 strong orcs, how many days can his own garrison of less than 5,000 people hold out?
"Knock knock—"
The sound of neat footsteps was heard, and although there were still miles away, the slaughter had already drifted here.
The air was filled with the smell of sweet blood, and a bitter battle was inevitable.
There was a sound of metal colliding against the wall.
Vines turned his head, and the arms of the young soldier with his sword and shield trembled, and from time to time he stomped on the stone of the wall.
This is not to blame him, the first time he went to the battlefield, the first time he faced an army of orcs, many people were like this.
Vines slapped the young man on his helmet.
"What are you afraid of, unproductive guys, show the courage of our lion group."
Then, with a sharp draw, he drew the long sword from his waist, stood on the city wall, and shouted:
"His Majesty's Order of the Flame Dragon has set out, and it is coming soon. Boys, if we keep going, we'll all be heroes! All for the king! All for Cedra! ”
"For the king!"
"For Sedra!"
The city's walls erupted with earth-shattering shouts, which seemed to temporarily dispel a lot of fear in their hearts.
Although Venes knew that this time the strong orcs came too quickly, too quickly, without warning, and did not leave much time for Cedra to prepare.
Even if the Yanlong Knights set out as soon as the battle situation here was delivered, the fastest time to reach here would be at least half a month later.
Can you hold on for half a month?
Waynes wasn't sure, but he didn't have a choice.
The soldiers' shouts continued, and Vines patrolled, his sword and shield humming.
Suddenly, a soldier stopped him.
"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, look!"
Vines walked to the wall and looked in the direction the other man was pointing, and without warning, more than a dozen figures appeared outside the wall—in the middle of the orc army.
"Damn it! Didn't you make sure that there was no one outside the city? ”
Indignantly, he slashed his broadsword against the wall.
"I ...... I don't know, they seem to have appeared there out of nowhere. ”
A hint of struggle flashed across Vines' face, and he looked at the approaching army of orcs outside the city, which was only about two or three miles away.
"These stupid guys!"
He said this, but he turned around sharply and shouted—
"Open the gates, open the gates! The Second Cavalry Brigade went out of town with me to pick me up and bring me back the hillbillies intact. ”
As he spoke, he hurried downward.
"Captain, but the orcs ......"
"Shut up, I know, it's too late!"
The city gate opened a crack in the old "squeak" sound, and a cavalry squad rushed out and rushed towards the awakened not far away.
Lin Xiao and the others didn't expect that as soon as they passed through the portal, they would be greeted by such a grand scene.
The army of black and overwhelming orcs was overwhelming, and they couldn't see their heads at all, and they were coming towards them.
Behind him is the tall walls of Somar.
This unfolding was really unexpected.
Fortunately, all the people present are Awakened above the B level, even if they are among the hosts, even if they can't be beaten, it's always no problem to run.
"What do you say now? Go your separate ways as planned, or do you want to take cover? ”
Situ Ming asked.
Luan didn't say a word, just looked at Lin Xiao, and seemed to hand over all the dominance to him.
"You don't have to ......"
Lin Xiao was just about to speak, but a loud shout suddenly came-
"Fool, get down!"
Captain Waynes roared with all his might, almost at the top of his throat.
Behind the army of strong orcs, huge fires shot up into the sky, flying in the direction of Somar—
It's a catapult.
The sound of the wind howling was heard, and the blazing stones with the glow of fire blocked out the sunlight in the sky, casting a large shadow.
It happened to be the position where Lin Xiao and the others were standing.
As soon as Lin Xiao turned around, the boulder was already close in front of him.
"Damn it!"
Waynes scolded angrily, it was not difficult for him to imagine the scene of this group of people being shattered after being hit, and a sense of powerlessness arose.
But at the moment when he was about to collide, he was surprised to see three shields of different colors suddenly unfurl in front of this group of people.
"Bang-"
A dull thud sounded.
For ordinary humans, the blazing stones, which were powerless to stop at all, couldn't even break through the shield of the first layer, so they stopped in despair, rolling down and sliding to the side.
Then, several sharp sword lights flashed, and the stones that were two people tall shattered in response, and even the blazing flames on it were extinguished along the way.
The group turned and continued to look at him with varying expressions, confused, hesitant, or cautious.
But Wiens was surprised and delighted—
"The transcendent, the transcendent!"
He shouted excitedly, and even the horse under his crotch neighed.
The cavalry squad behind him also looked at the scene in front of them in surprise.
Transcendents - A group of people who can harness magical powers.
It's not that they haven't seen it, but there are really not many that are so powerful.
"Guys, this is not the place to talk, do you want to go in first?"
The army of strong orcs was already less than a kilometer away from them.
Time was pressing, and Waynes glanced at him and invited in a brisk voice.
It would be great if there were a group of transcendent helpers at such a time.
Everyone looked at Luan and Lin Xiao.
"Let's go!"
Lin Xiao waved his head and followed.
At this point, the war has begun, and staying outside the city is of little use, not to mention, this is an excellent time to brush up experience.
As he rode his horse all the way to the city wall, he found that the speed of the group was much faster than that of his own horse, and he looked completely at ease.
The whole process is thrilling and dangerous, even if there is a stone that does not fly for a long time, there will always be various means to defeat it, or a gust of wind, or a sword qi.
It also strengthened the idea in Wiens's heart - he must find a way to keep them.
Lin Xiao led everyone to follow up in the city.
The door was closed again, and the boys of the cavalry regiment breathed a sigh of relief.
Vines didn't entertain them much, but just said goodbye and hurried up to the wall.
The war has reached the stage of triggering out, and he is the commander on the city wall.
Lin Xiao squinted, stared at the distant back of Waynes, pulled Situ Ming, and asked softly:
"When you first attacked, did you have any contact with this regimental leader?"
Situ Ming shook his head:
"I haven't had any contact with him, after all, according to the terms of the agreement, we can't have too much contact with the natives of the dungeon world, and we can't reveal information about us from another world, so even if we ask for information, we will try to avoid contact with such core characters."
Lin Xiao nodded, knowing in her heart.
"Any questions?" Situ Ming asked puzzled.
"No, nothing."
It's just some vague feelings, and Lin Xiao doesn't plan to say anything.
Situ Ming didn't take it too seriously.
"What's next? Let's check the portal first? ”
"Go ahead, I want to go to the city wall and have a look." Lin Xiao said.
"What are you doing on the walls?" Situ Ming asked puzzled.
"Confirm the combat power of the strong orcs, and observe the battle situation by the way."
Lin Xiao's words are conclusive and well-founded.
However, the real idea is that this mountain of mountains and seas is roaring, and it is all experience!
"I'm with you!"
Lu Shaoshao said without hesitation.
Lin Xiao frowned, but heard a few more echoes.
"Then let's go with us!"
Pei Tianyi and Qi Yang of [Shaoque], Yan Zhiguo and Tian Donghao of [Dongcheng Division] also said separately.
They didn't want to get involved in this war, after all, there was nothing to gain, and it was a waste of physical strength.
But now that the team has been assigned, especially Lin Xiao is still Donglin's new A-level, and at the moment when the rising star is about to rise, it is naturally better to advance and retreat together.
Lin Xiao was even more unhappy.
"No need, I'll be enough alone, you go and confirm the portal first, and I'll go back and join you."
Lu Shaoshao wanted to say something more, but Luan's cold voice sounded-
"I'll go with him, and you go to the portal."
Lin Xiao glanced at Luan unexpectedly, and the other party's expression did not change in the slightest.
Now that the two bigwigs have spoken, everyone will not say anything more.
After the group left, Lin Xiao had just climbed the city wall, when the sound of a strong wind whistled sounded, and then the rain of arrows covered the sky and poured down.
"Raise the shield—raise the shield—"
The shouts on the walls were mixed with the crisp sound of metal clashing, but from time to time there was still the muffled sound of falling flesh.
The strong bows of the orcs, with their characteristic brute force, can penetrate even shields.
A black dark curtain unfolded in front of Lin Xiao, stopping all the dense arrows.
He looked at Luan.
In front of her immovable body, an almost transparent magic surrounded her like flames.
Ignore these arrows as nothing.
"You...... It's better to conserve as much energy as possible. ”
Lin Xiao kindly reminded that after all, Luan didn't have such a state recovery.
"I won't do it unless I have to."
Luan said succinctly.
Lin Xiao nodded.
After a few rounds of arrow rain, there were already many corpses lying on the wide city walls.
Most of them are just young children, even a few years younger than Lin Xiao, but the war never mercies the weak because of this.
Vines rode a horse, and he had been running back and forth on the city wall countless times, and he kept giving orders, even when he saw Lin Xiao and Luan, he didn't care to say hello.
Black clouds overwhelm the city, murderous.
The roar of the war behemoth seemed to be in my ears.
The armies of the orcs are already close at hand.
Countless rolling stones and fire barrels were thrown down the walls, and the flames raged under the walls.
Countless orcs have fallen from great heights, but that still can't stop their frantic onslaught.
The orcs seem to be born without fear.
They trampled on the corpses of their companions, bathed in splashes of blood, and the essence of the bestiality was released even more.
Ladders were erected in rows, pushed away, and put up again......
In less than two hours, when the first strong orc climbed the city wall, the sound of fighting could no longer stop.
Luan just looked at the scene in front of him indifferently, and Lin Xiao was not in a hurry to make a move.
An ordinary strong orc soldier of level 31 to 33 was no longer enough for him to pose the slightest threat.
Only sporadically one or two without long eyes rushed in front of him, and Lin Xiao would gently tear their heads off.
This war, for humanity, seems to have taken advantage of the disadvantage.
Putting aside the numerical gap, facing the fear of killing and death made this group of human soldiers, who were only in their 20s, even more vulnerable.
Only by relying on the terrain advantage of defending the city can the battle be regarded as a stalemate.
Until a terrible roar sounded over the city—
Large, pierced canine teeth clinged to the wall and leaped up to the city's clearing.
Its bloody mouth opened, biting the two soldiers in front of it in two with a single bite, and then its claws swept over, tearing the other three not far away into minced flesh.
The 38-level elite is no longer something that ordinary people like them can fight against.
Vines immediately left the enemy in front of him and met him with a small group of his own soldiers.
Rushing in front of the dog's teeth, Wiens skilfully turned and dismounted, allowing the horse to be torn apart by the claws, sucking his shield under him, and sliding away from the massive body by inertia.
The broadsword in his hand was sacrificed, and it pierced into the abdominal cavity of the dog's teeth, breaking through a long hole all the way, and the stench of blood was drenched all over.
"Whew-"
A roar of pain came.
Vines nimbly picked up his shield on the ground and stood up.
The canine in front of him staggered a few times, turned his head, and stared at him fiercely with fierce eyes.
The moment just now, which had already seriously injured the caninetooth, slowed down its movements, and Waynes was about to deal with it in one go, but with the call of Fang Cai—
"Knock knock—"
Several huge figures leaped onto the wall again.
A whole 5 canine teeth surrounded him, and the terrifying roar made even the battle-hardened regiment commander feel a trace of palpitations.
The monster in front of him swung out with a claw, and Waynes hastily set up his shield, the characteristic alloy defense was indeed good, but the huge force couldn't stop knocking him over and falling to the ground.
Five canine teeth swarmed up, bloody mouthparts close at hand, and Waynes rolled and moved his body out of a small patch, shield around him, and there was really only so much he could do.
But the expected power did not befall him.
It seemed that it was just a moment in front of him, and a figure appeared there suddenly.
The blade in his hand carried a few drops of fresh blood and emitted a lilac glow.
Lin Xiao stretched out a hand and leaned over slightly to look at the head of the regiment indifferently.
Behind him, the necks of the huge demonic beasts seemed to have been neatly cut by a sharp blade, pulling at the unbroken blood, and their heads slid down weakly.
"Boom-"
Several muffled sounds, all in unison.
Waynes looked at Lin Xiao in surprise, it seemed that in just an instant, this transcendent had killed five monsters that made them helpless.
He quickly adjusted, and now was not the time to express his emotions.
"Thank you!"
Waynes hurriedly thanked him, grabbed Lin Xiao's outstretched palm, and was about to stand up, when he suddenly felt a burning stinging pain in his palm.
He hurriedly let go and looked at Lin Xiao with some surprise.
The expression on Lin Xiao's face did not change in the slightest, as calm as before.
Vines stood up with his hands on the wall.
He was about to say something when another loud bang came.
Vines leaned down and looked down at the city walls, where the Storming Beast, which was at least five meters tall, had already arrived outside the city gate with a tree stump.
Under the powerful impact, the entire city wall trembled.
"Damn it!"
Vines slammed his stomp on the stone of the wall.
"Go—go and fortify the gates!"
He pulled the soldier beside him and commanded anxiously.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure standing high above the wall.
Lin Xiao's arms were spread, and the purple brilliance turned into another short blade in his right hand, and the moon blade was also taken out.
His body leaned forward, letting gravity pull him, and he fell straight downward.
"No—"
Waynes held out a hand and yelled incomprehensibly.
The walls here are at least 30 meters high.
He hurried to the edge of the wall and looked down.
Then, a purple lotus flower bloomed in front of Waynes' eyes.
Lin Xiao has seen enough, now, it's hunting time.
The furious sword qi exploded in an instant.
Under this city gate, the place with the highest concentration of strong orcs is simply suitable.
The neat array was suddenly torn apart by this brilliant sword qi storm.
It's just a little monster of more than thirty levels, even if it is an elite, under the [Star and Moon Peerless], it can't bring the slightest resistance at all.
Experience, like a tidal wave.
Within a radius of at least nearly 100 meters in diameter, thousands of strong orcs were annihilated by this blow, leaving only scraps of meat all over the ground.
Including the original unstoppable storming beast, not even a complete finger can be found.
Lin Xiao half-knelt on the blood-stained ground, and thick blood rose from his body.
The fearless orc army hesitated a little, and did not rush up again for a while.
Lin Xiao slowly stood up, the black fog behind him gradually dissipated, and a group of dark gold heavily armored military guards half-knelt here.
After buying thousands of crystal rods in one go.
Lin Xiao suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the endless army of strong orcs in front of him.
"Go, kill them all!"
The cold tone, without the slightest human emotion.
"No—"
After a neat response, the twelve martial guards stood up impressively, and on Sen Ran's armor, the murderous aura was soaring.
On the highest point of the city wall, Luan looked down, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.
Call it a day.
The observation has ended.
There is no need to make any superfluous confirmations at the moment.
There is no doubt that -
He is the top awakened person under the heavenly drive!
……
(It's not out of context this time, is it?) Proud Face ...... )
