Chapter 578: Ascending the City
On the command platform of the fortress, Prince Grantham noticed that Leo's expression seemed to be a little distracted, but he did not think that Leo would be afraid of fear, after all, Leo has become famous for his experience and invincibility over the years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 His Royal Highness the Prince of Info thought that Leo was excited, he patted Leo lightly on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "If only the young people of the empire could be so brave as you!"
The Prince's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, waking Leo from the chaos and noise of the war. Leo's eyes widened suddenly, knowing that he had almost been bewitched by the countless legions in the Arena of the Gods just now, and he almost summoned the legions out to fight on the spot. However, His Royal Highness the Prince was by his side, and Leo pretended to be calm and replied to the Prince: "As long as this battle is over, they will grow up!"
After saying that, Leo gently stepped back and found a corner to settle down. His left hand clenched the Arena of the Gods on his chest, this thing was getting more and more strange, and now it was beginning to bewitch his mind, this change made Leo secretly frightened in his heart.
Even now, Leo could vaguely hear some very slight sounds lingering in his ears.
"Yanren Zhang Yide is here!"
"Your will is the direction of our sword!"
"Fight for the way of Allah!"
"Let the grass-covered areas be my horses!"
"Bai Qi, I am willing to fight for you!"
"In the name of God!"
The owners of these voices, with Leo's historical attainments, can naturally distinguish that they are all famous heroes in ancient and modern times, but when the orcs are besieging the city, no matter who he summons, he can't explain the origin, and he is purely asking for trouble for himself.
Soon, though, Leo was in no mood to think about it, and as the orcs approached, the battle for the Dawning Fortress officially began. The first to strike was dozens of giant crossbows, and with the military order, the violent sound of the giant crossbow machine reeds continued to buzz and tremble, and the arm-thick crossbow arrows were launched with irresistible force. This kind of equipment made by humans for war is something that even dragons, let alone orcs, have to retreat from.
Although the minotaurs' bodies are tall and muscular, the sturdy bodies they are famous for are easily pierced by the giant crossbow like tofu before the giant crossbow, and they have no ability to resist. Even so, the Minotaur did not stop in the slightest. His Majesty the Emperor was watching from behind the battle, and if he was afraid to move forward at this time, it would be better to die directly on the battlefield.
Just look at those stupid pigs, in order to avoid the punishment of His Majesty the Emperor, the pigs can be said to be fighting for their lives at this moment, so Drew Blackhoof tore loudly tore its sharp voice, constantly howling and leading the clansmen warriors to bow their heads and rush, letting the human giant crossbow rain like rain, the pigs are really out of the way this time.
The most inconspicuous of the five clans is the Swordantle Clan, which has less than a thousand people, Moro Lijiao's bulging eyes are full of tears, I don't know if the Swordantelope Clan can survive in the world after this battle, but now there is no choice at all, so I can only take the clansmen to dodge behind the Minotaur, trying to get close to the human fortress, looking for a suitable opportunity to attack.
Except for the brainless Drew Black Hoof, almost all of the orcs knew that His Majesty the Emperor was going to punish the pigs and the swordantelope. The pig clan has a large population, and even if it is a war of attrition, it will not be exhausted for a while and a half, so the Antelope clan has become the best punching bag.
Why are the five clans attacking the city, the bullhead clan and the pig clan are responsible for attacking the fortification, and the snake clan and the cat clan are responsible for hunting, but there is only one long-range archer of the swordantle? The swordantle clan alone can suppress the human archers? This is not even a thought, the swordantle tribe is originally a target sent to attract human long-range firepower, and the meaning of their existence is only to consume the attention of human giant crossbows and archers, and cover the other four clans to climb the city wall.
From entering the range of the bow and arrows to rushing under the city wall, it only takes a few hundred meters, and this distance is nothing for the orcs, the human archers release a maximum of three volleys, and the orcs in front of them are already in the city.
Long ladders were erected up to the city walls, and the long ladders made of entire log trunks were so heavy that the human defenders could not propel them. However, the humans who are the best at using tools naturally have their own defense methods, and the rolling wood stones are constantly thrown off the city wall, and the drop of tens of meters makes the power of these rolling wood stones multiply, smashing the heads of the orcs one by one, and the orcs with thick skin and tenacious vitality can't die for a while, but they can only lie on the ground and hum indiscriminately and can't move.
Even if the Minotaur and Pig warriors are powerful, they can't exert their power at such times, and the first to cause casualties to humans are those snake and cat orcs who move flexibly and even a little weirdly.
By gently coiling themselves on the ladder and winding its way up, the snake people can nimbly dodge the rolling boulders thrown from the walls without slowing down their climbing, while the cat-people can dodge the rolling rocks in advance with their nimble reflexes and keen observation. These two warriors became the first orcs to storm the Fortress of Dawn.
"Okay! It is worthy of being the best race in the empire, the snake and cat tribes are indeed doing a good job, as long as they can open a gap in the city wall, and wait for the minotaur and pig tribe to go up, this fortress will be at your fingertips!" In the camp, the orc emperor slapped his thigh and praised loudly, thinking that if he captured this fortress, he would enter the city first to enjoy the comfortable human architecture and gorgeous utensils.
Just when the Orc Emperor was in high spirits, a bloodied centaur scout was sent to His Majesty the Emperor with the support of several leon guards. Seeing that this centaur was covered with arrow wounds all over his body, and the entire back half of his body was about to be shot into a hedgehog, the orc emperor knew that it was short of life, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
The centaur scout breathed a sigh of relief, and replied weakly, "The centaur was holding back the enemy army, and the ...... Ambushed and routed by human cavalry, the leader Garo Twindden ordered all the scout teams to disperse and escape, bringing news to His Majesty. The centaurs must do their ...... for the orc empire and the beast gods!"
The Orc Emperor stood up slightly, and glanced coldly at the centaur scout who had fallen to the ground and died, knowing that the human army must be nearby, if he can't take this fortress today, I'm afraid that this southern expedition will fall into a bitter battle, and the Orc Empire doesn't have so much time to consume with humans.
"Order! The ape and rat clans join the siege, and they must attack the fortress within an hour!"
