Chapter 170: The Crisis Begins
Today is quite stable, humans and orcs spent a day cleaning up a lot of undead, and less than half of the undead on the west side of Jiangcheng are left, of which orcs have a lot of credit.
They are like a sharp knife that stabs into the heart of the army of the undead, killing the Commander Necro Skeleton.
The undead have no army and no command, the threat is much lower, and the concentrated arrow rain is much less, you must know that most of the defenders die on the arrow rain.
And there is nothing to do about these archers and skeletons, and they can't kill the archers without headshots, and they are either killed or injured when they are shot.
What's even more hateful is that the arrows of the skeleton soldiers are coated with the poisonous blood of carrion corpses, and if they are shot, they will definitely die, and they will cause great trouble to the defenders of Jiangcheng.
Fortunately, the orc's physique is relatively strong, and it takes a lot of venom to be infected, and if an orc is too seriously injured, he will be dragged down immediately to prevent being infected, otherwise the orcs who come to support will also lose a lot.
Not only is Jiangcheng developing in a good direction, but the battle situation in Orc City is stable after all, and the undead army is blocked in front of a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus the support of Jiangcheng's food and troops, it is almost impossible to be breached.
The only thing worrying is that the army of skeleton cavalry has not shown its head for a long time and has to prevent this huge threat.
In addition, Li Yuanfang also got a news that didn't seem very important - a ghost appeared on the west side, which many soldiers saw at night.
If there were ghosts in the past, everyone might have been a little scared, but now no one is afraid of them, especially when they find that these ghosts are not aggressive.
Although Li Yuanfang didn't think it was a big deal, she still went to consult Edith and learned from her mouth that this was not a ghost, but some kind of illusion.
There are many creatures that can use this kind of illusion, and she can't be sure what exactly is released, but judging from the current situation, the strength of the creatures that release this illusion is very low, and it basically can't pose much of a threat.
Even so, Li Yuanfang still kept an eye on it, sent someone to search the territory, and sure enough, in the direction of the west, he found a woman's phantom.
When he learned this, he brought people to check it out, only to find that the phantom had disappeared, and it seemed that the creature was scared away, so he had to give up.
After he returned, he deliberately asked people to pay attention to it and take precautions.
This night, Li Yuanfang was extremely uneasy, always feeling that something was going to happen, so he had to give up sleeping and began to pretend to sleep to replenish his mental strength.
He recovered his mental strength quickly, but he didn't sleep comfortably, not to mention that he was very uneasy now, and after a few hours, he got up and went out to breathe.
When he came to the watchtower of the city wall and signaled to his men on the night watch, he looked to the north, and if he looked closely, he could see a small amount of fire from a hundred thousand meters away, which was the nearest orc fortress, and the previous one had been demolished.
Li Yuanfang's eyesight is excellent now, but there are many mutant trees in the middle, and it is not bad to be able to see the firelight clearly.
It's just that there is something wrong with this firelight, it is always shaking, and I think that on weekdays, the orcs light these firelights for lighting, and they will only be fixed in one position.
Li Yuanfang was a little puzzled, and he was a little uneasy, so he went downstairs to find Edith, preparing to ask her to fly to the sky to see the situation.
Edith hurried to make the magic pattern and was ready to go to bed, but since it was Li Yuanfang's request, she still got up to do it.
When she came to a place where there was no one, Edith directly showed her wings and flew up, and soon she landed, shook her head and said: "It's too far away, it's night, I can't see the specific situation clearly, or I'll fly over to take a look?" ”
Li Yuanfang was a little regretful when she heard this, but when she thought that her night vision seemed to be good, she immediately proposed to let her take it up to have a look, without the shelter of those mutant trees, she should be able to see farther.
Edith nodded, hugged Li Yuanfang, jumped up, and came to a height of hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.
Li Yuanfang felt a little dizzy, but he immediately got used to it, and tried to look at the orc fortress, and like Edith, he couldn't see it very clearly.
If it was daytime, the situation would be much better, but he was a little unwilling, and with a thought in his heart, he directly released his eagle eye.
With a high concentration of mental power, the nearby scenery became blurred, but the orc fortress that had been staring at it became very clear.
With a joy in his heart, he asked Edith to stop flying, stopped in mid-air and took a closer look, and found that the orc fortress was heavily guarded, as if it was facing a great enemy.
At the gate of the orc fortress, a large number of orcs came in and out, a large number of supplies were brought in, and even many wounded people were carried in.
Li Yuanfang frowned, these supplies and wounded people didn't need to think about it to know that they were transported from the Orc City.
Now the orcs and Jiangcheng are officially allied, and this is also considered the rear, but there are hundreds of thousands of orc soldiers stationed in the orc city, and the materials and wounded should be transported to the orc city, how can it be transported here.
Could it be ......
Li Yuanfang suddenly had a bad guess, looking at the current situation, his guess is undoubtedly true.
But he still couldn't believe it, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Back on the ground, several military soldiers arrived from outside, and according to Mu Yue's order, they conveyed a bad news to Li Yuanfang:
The Orc City is lost!
Taking a deep breath, he finally accepted the fact that the orc city was lost, just as he had guessed.
Mu Yue, who heard the news, immediately sent someone over, hoping that he could retreat to Jiangcheng, it was too dangerous outside, Li Yuanfang did not make a decision immediately, sent these soldiers away, and thought about it.
The orc city was attacked by the tens of thousands of skeleton knights bypassing the orc fortress in front of them and attacking at night on the west side, but the orcs had already prepared for it, and it was very difficult to attack at night on the west side.
But another group of undead raided underneath, first causing chaos in the orc city, and the skeleton cavalry army successfully raided.
The undead have been preparing for this moment for a long time, and the number of undead attacking head-on is as high as five million, but these undead are all cannon fodder.
They have been attacking for several days in a row, but they have all been stopped, and only more than a million are left, what people didn't expect is that these undead are actually cannon fodder.
As for how the skeleton cavalry army managed to bypass the mountains on the west side of the Orc City, judging by the fact that they were able to get out of a passage underneath, a passage must have been dug under those mountains as well.
The speed of digging is simply terrifying, but when you think about the terrifying number of undead, it's not very strange, maybe the undead also have special digging magic.
But if you want to capture the orc city, it is still far from enough, and the orcs in the orc city are not vegetarians, and there must be a reason for this, so it is not yet known.
