Chapter Forty-Three: The Night Attack on Rock Castle
Tonight's rock castle is particularly riotous because of the raid of the orcs. After a period of panic, the people in Iwaki gradually defended and counterattacked in an orderly manner, and after years of experience in war, this time began to highlight the excellent adaptability of the soldiers and civilians of Iwaki, and a large number of soldiers appeared in their respective posts under the command of their generals to defend and counterattack the enemy.
The officers and officials in the city quickly organized their manpower, while guiding the civilians in the city to hide from the attack, and at the same time sending people to protect or transfer important materials and personnel in the city. Discovering the sneak attack of the orc troops, the strong people living in various parts of the city also appeared one after another to help resist the attack from the aerial eagle clan troops, covering the safety of civilians in the city.
For a while, there was a noise everywhere. After receiving the news, the men and horses stationed outside the rock city immediately gathered elite men and horses to rush to all parts of the rock city to support the battle, and the men and horses on both sides encountered each other, and a tragic battle broke out.
Shi Feng and other high-ranking officials of Iwaki City, the elders of the War God Temple, as well as the various forces of the major families all gathered together to discuss countermeasures. For the aerial sneak attack taken by the beast clan this time, the Iwaki side had already prepared, and after the men and horses of all parties arrived, Shi Feng carried out the operation according to their pre-drawn battle plan.
Many of the powerhouses present were unanimous and had no objections to Shi Feng's arrangement. Everyone knew that time was tight at the moment, and no one was so ignorant of the general situation, and at this time, they questioned what was wrong with the arrangements made by Shi Feng.
Soon, a large number of strong men left the City Lord's Mansion and appeared as quickly as possible in the places where the battles were most fierce in the city. With the addition of these strong men, the soldiers of the Iwaki defense were greatly encouraged to resist, and the most fierce wave of attacks of the eagle people caused a lot fewer casualties in the city, and the battle between the two sides entered a white-hot stalemate.
"Puff puff ......"
When the arrows of the canopy rained down on the dark sky, a large area of fishy blood mist would form, and the blood rain from the sky would fall and take the lives of many eagles.
When the eagle man bombarded it intensively, a scream would also resound in the city, and many people would die tragically on the spot. Under the concentrated attack of the eagle people, the affected people were either seriously injured or their lives and deaths were unknown, causing huge casualties to the people in the city. The eagleman's nimble attack caused a lot of trouble for the defending soldiers. Fortunately, some strong men arrived in time and pinned down most of the enemy's main forces, so that there would be no more serious consequences.
On the walls of the rock city, there are many arrow towers and bunkers, and at this moment, the arrows and crossbows shoot out like locusts, shooting towards the eagle orcs in the air. A large number of Eagle Orcs hovering in the air attacked the rock castle below, all kinds of flames, ice picks, lightning, ...... One after another, many of the buildings in Iwaki were severely damaged. Most of these eagle orcs have a pair of fleshy wings on their backs, covered with fine feathers, and their appearance is not much different from that of birds.
The Eagle People are divided into two species, one is similar to birds, although the intelligence is relatively low, but the physical strength is extremely strong, and they have a natural ability. The other form is similar to that of a human, except that it has fleshy wings on its back, a fierce face, and is very intelligent, capable of self-cultivation, and manipulating magical elements to attack and defend. The feathers of the Eagle Clan orcs are of different colors, and they are divided into strength and rank status according to their feathers and faces, and the highest level is golden, at least they have the strength of the peak of the War Emperor. Silver is second, and it also has the strength of the peak of the Battle Sect. And then there's red, black, and so on. Those who can be recognized as members of the Eagle Clan have at least king-level strength.
Some important buildings and places in Rock City have already been heavily guarded, and the solid defense of some buildings can also support the arrival of rescue teams. Most of the rescue teams were led by several War Sect-level powerhouses, and some teams were led by dozens of War King-level powerhouses, rushing to various parts of the city to rescue and resist the attack of the Eagle Orcs.
"Boom! boom......!"
There was no mercy on both sides of the war, and loud noises rang out throughout the city, and the lowly inhabitants fled in a hurry, looking for cover to protect themselves.
There is such a big movement in Iwashi, and naturally no one will not feel it. In addition to the ordinary civilians who are helpless, people with a little force and blood will come out to resist the attack of the orcs. The Raptors Empire also had some air cavalry teams stationed in Rock City, and as soon as the battle began, they quickly rushed to support.
It's just that the number of air cavalry teams of the Raptors Empire is pitiful compared to the Eagle Clan people who attacked this time, and the range of support that can be supported is really limited. The air cavalry team did not dare to engage the Eagle Clan head-on, so they could only concentrate their forces in a ranger fight, relying on the fire of the ground arrow tower bunkers to suppress and defend a certain area.
The arrow towers and bunkers all over the ground, the bows and crossbows and arrows fired can also have some effect on ordinary low-level eaglemen, and they also have some lethality against high-level eaglemen, but they can't really kill high-level eaglemen. As for the other heavy crossbow, although it is very powerful, it is very slow to fire, and its accuracy is particularly poor, but it is only suitable for use in the field of charge, and it is obviously a little weak to deal with the hawkmen, who are known for their agility and speed.
The Demon Crystal Cannon, another battlefield weapon in Iwacheng, is even more unsightly in terms of air strikes. If it's on the ground, the Crystal Cannon can also play a huge role. However, attacking air targets at present is completely ineffective. The Crystal Cannon is a ranged attack weapon, once the strong of the empire and the invading eagle people are in a scuffle, the Crystal Cannon cannot be attacked, at most it can only be used to contain the enemy in a certain area.
The sudden sneak attack of the orcs also caused some damage to Iwajo. However, Iwaki had been fully prepared for this for a long time, and did not fall into panic because of this. Many important facilities and buildings are protected by powerful defensive formations and psychedelic formations. Moreover, a large number of elite troops were sent to defend those extremely important places.
When the Hawkmen attack these places, the pre-arranged formations play a huge role. Block all of these attacks, or reduce the power of the attacks and reduce damage to buildings.
The formations in Rock City were all arranged by formation masters with advanced formations invited from all over the empire, and even if they were bombarded by several War Emperor-level powerhouses at the same time, they could withstand it in a short period of time. The combat equipment and facilities in the city were closely protected by various formations, and coupled with the rapid arrival of the strong teams of the rock city, the eagle people could not destroy these buildings in a short time.
However, since the orcs have taken action, it will naturally not be so simple. Soon, some high-level silver-winged eagle people sat on the back of the mutant eagle beast and appeared on the battlefield. The silver-winged eagle people combined the power of the mutant eagle beast and broke through the defenses of the formation with strong brute force, attacking the buildings and people inside, causing a lot of damage and casualties.
The Silverwinged Eagle Man can see through illusions, and all psychedelic formations are ineffective against them. With the attack power of the silver-winged eagle and the powerful power of the mutant eagle beast, it is difficult to defend with the formation and the building itself. Fortunately, this is not the case everywhere, and important buildings are protected by teams led by strong men, and fierce battles break out as soon as the two sides meet.
Somewhere in Rock Castle, some hawkmen flew by, unleashing attacks at random downwards. In the loud rumbling noise, some ordinary houses and buildings that were not protected by security measures collapsed, and several screams were faintly heard inside, which were quickly muffled by various sounds.
The Hawkmen hurried away, and the team of Iwaki City behind them was chasing after them, trying to stop them from continuing to destroy the buildings in Iwaki and harm the lives of ordinary residents. The group of eaglemen came to the sky above a large mansion, and without saying a word, they launched various attacks and bombarded wildly.
However, this time the expected situation did not materialize, and their attack landed on the mansion. I only saw a fluctuating ripple in the space, and in an instant, all the attacks were swallowed up and dissolved into invisibility.
Seeing this scene, some of the eagle people had not yet reacted, and looked at the mansion below in disbelief. Among this group of eaglemen, a silver-winged eagle man has already discovered the secret, and roared a few times and ordered the other eaglemen to attack several places respectively, he saw that this mansion was protected by a powerful formation, and believed that the identity and status of the people living in it must not be low, and killing the important people in Rock City was the task they had to complete in their sneak attack tonight.
"Boom......!"
The eagleman frantically attacked the mansion, causing the entire defensive formation to fluctuate, and many fluctuating ripples appeared in the sky above the mansion. This defensive formation was obviously not so fragile, and it was just resisting the combined attack of this group of eaglemen.
In a certain room in the mansion, Hei Niu and the others looked at the sky outside nervously, seeing the eagle man attacking frantically, they didn't have the slightest idea of leaving immediately, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but sink. Because Sun Xiaofei didn't show up, they really felt a little afraid when they faced these eagle people alone.
Not to mention the number of these eagle people, the silver-winged eagle people alone are not something they can deal with. Looking at the Hawkman's dense bombardment defensive formation, several people were terrified. I'm afraid that if this formation suddenly fails, or is destroyed by the explosion, how will they deal with this group of eaglemen?
The defensive power of the formation comes from the hedron used in the arrangement, once the energy of the hedron is consumed, no matter how delicate the formation is, it will lose any effect. The silver-winged eagleman obviously understood this, so he tried to concentrate the strength of all the eaglemen present to bombard this formation, trying to destroy this formation and kill the humans inside.
Under their continuous attack, the energy of the spar was gradually consumed, and finally burst in the horrified gaze of the black bull and others, and all the spars in the formation were exhausted, and the defensive formation was ineffective. Without the blockade of the formation, the eagle people roared and flew down towards the mansion, ready to start a bloody killing. They are sensitive to the breath of humans, and these not powerful breaths make them mad and cruel.
When they saw the eagle man flying straight in the direction they were, everyone was shocked.
"Why hasn't Ryan come out yet?" asked Black Bull anxiously.
"The young master is in the critical juncture of retreat, so we must not disturb him. You should tell Miss Caroline to take refuge from the young master first. We went out to fend off those eagle men, believing that the Lord of Stone City would soon send someone to save us. A middle-aged man who followed Sun Xiaofei to Rock City groaned and said in a deep voice. He proposed such a solution to the current situation.
"Okay. ”
Under the urgency of the situation, Hei Niu and the others had no choice but to nod their heads, without any dispute and unanimous opinion. The black bull whispered a few words to Caroline, and then they rushed out of the door and took the initiative to appear to meet the eagle man, covering Caroline and the others to escape.
Not long after the battle began, they lost several people. Several screams rang out at the scene, and the silver-winged eagle man sent out a bolt of lightning that directly grilled one of them into a piece of black charcoal. There are also two weaker ones, who were disemboweled, disemboweled, and killed on the spot by the eagle man.
Seeing this, the black bull hurriedly performed the sky-shaking hammer method taught by Sun Xiaofei, and the final sound of the hammer suddenly exploded, and the attack spread in all directions, and under the powerful spiritual impact, many of those eagle figures were unstable and fell down one after another.
It's just that the black bull's cultivation is too shallow to exert the full power of this powerful skill, so these eaglemen are severely injured and can't be killed with one blow.
After the black bull cast, he immediately felt a void in his body, as if the strength of his whole body was exhausted by this attack. The eagle man recovered, and rushed towards him, and when he saw this, the black bull's face turned pale in an instant.
Suddenly, an extremely powerful coercion enveloped all parts of the mansion, and under this pressure, except for the silver-winged eagle people who could not move, those weaker eagle people burst on the spot and turned into a cloud of blood mist.
"Ryan......" Black Bull turned his head in surprise and shouted as he looked at a figure flying behind him.
