Chapter 31: Attack and Defense (6)

The painful death of their companions did not affect the other orcs, and the climbing orcs simply ignored their own casualties, and even did not even look at their own wounds gushing blood like a spring, as if those wounds were on others.

Of course, Ryan didn't know that if the orcs didn't attack Thor's Fortress, their clans would definitely kill each other for food, or exile the old people and leave them to fend for themselves on the savannah, and the exiled people usually end up being a meal for the wolves. Now these orcs can get a good reward for killing a human, and the same is death, and of course they prefer to face humans rather than wolves.

The strength of the orcs also made the human defenders suffer, seeing the green-skinned guys crawling up with bloody screams, the hearts of the human soldiers inevitably fluctuated, and in the fierce handover, morale will directly affect the combat effectiveness of both sides.

Slashing is no longer powerful, bows and arrows are no longer accurate, and boulders and logs seem to have become much heavier. The resistance of the human defenders became weaker and weaker, and the attacking orcs gradually gained the upper hand, and had already stepped on the walls in many places, but fortunately, the human defenders far outnumbered the orc attacking forces, and were able to hold the line despite the huge numerical advantage.

During this period of time when the orcs and human soldiers were holding each other, the third group of soldiers of the Giant Snake Clan in the distance began to move, and the two phalanxes of 10,000 people were the last attacking force of the Giant Snake Clan today, of course, except for the patriarch's personal guards who were still surrounding the patriarch of the Giant Snake Clan.

The 10,000 men basically had no siege equipment, and the most they carried was a long wooden ladder, and after entering the range of the human catapult, these orc soldiers were not hindered too much, because the human soldiers who operated the catapult would stop using the catapult after the orcs forced into the city wall, and instead moved boulders and logs to attack the enemies who climbed from the bottom to the top.

Without being sniped and lightly armed, these orc warriors quickly forced into the Thor Fortress, and the warriors they ran at the front were already less than 200 meters away from the Thor Fortress walls. It was at this time that the patriarch guards who surrounded the patriarch of the Giant Serpent Clan were dispatched.

Far younger and more combat-ready than their previous counterparts, these sturdy wolf cavalrymen were clad in armor made of thick cowhide and inlaid with bronze plates at vital points to increase their defense. However, the wolves under their seats have no protection, which makes it difficult for them to defend themselves against long-range bows and arrows, but it can maximize their agility and speed.

A human archer spotted the galloping Giant Snake Clan Chief's guard, he pulled out a feather arrow and shot it over, but the wolf's running speed was beyond the human archer's expectations, and the feather arrow he shot fell directly behind the Giant Snake Clan's patriarch's guard. The shooter was stunned, he didn't expect that the speed of the wolf running was only a little slower than the war horse, and at this speed, he was afraid that the distance of 2 or 3 kilometers would only be passed in a few minutes.

Due to the passive defensive strategy of the defenders of the Thor Fortress, they have almost no information about the orc army, and these wolves are also rare to see, but they barely know that the back of the wolf is not as load-bearing as a horse, so the orc wolf cavalry is actually riding on the neck of the wolf, and those wolves are not as smooth as the war horse, it is simply a jump and a jump, if it is not for long-term practice, I am afraid it is difficult to stand that kind of bump.

The human archer watched as the orc rode on the back of the wolf, and spun towards him, carefully calculated, and then drew another feathered arrow and shot it. This time, the human archer's calculations were very accurate, and the feathered arrow turned into a slight arc in the air and flew towards the personal guard of the patriarch of the Giant Serpent Clan.

The patriarch's guard, who was riding on a wolf, raised the round bronze shield in his hand and blocked it. The feathered arrow fired by the human archer slammed straight into the shield, sending out a flash of sparks, and then being bounced away. A hint of ridicule appeared on the corner of the mouth of the Giant Serpent Clan Patriarch's personal guard, as if he was making fun of how weak the feathered arrows shot by the human archers were so weak.

Due to the advance of these giant snake clan patriarchs' personal guards, many human soldiers on the walls of the Thor Fortress also noticed their presence, and dozens of human archers drew round longbows and shot out a row of feathered arrows. The Giant Serpent Clan's patriarch and guards pulled out a sharp axe from their waists, which they used to shoot the feather arrows that hit the wolf in their crotch, and the feathered arrows that shot at themselves were lightly blocked by the bronze shields in their hands.

At this moment, under the city wall, the orc warriors desperately climbed upward, and opened seven or eight small gaps in the city wall, although there were only a few orcs in each place, but the human defense line was already in danger.

Ryan didn't know how many spells he had released, if he was just an ordinary magician, he would probably have exhausted his mental power, but Ryan's magic shock made him still full of magic power. Recite the mantra, release, recite the mantra again, release again. Ryan felt as if he had gone back to last year, during the Atlético Royale competition, the magic test that Master Victor had conducted on him, and he had cast spells like this numbly, and he had consumed his magic power endlessly until he had exhausted his last trace of energy.

If there's one difference between the two, it's that Ryan has gone through many adventures after the end of Atlético Royale, and his strength has improved a lot compared to when he participated in Atlético Royale, so he will be able to play in the heat of battle. Suddenly, Ryan had a glimmer of realization in his heart, perhaps, the magicians who studied in the royal magic students are all delicate flowers, they have not experienced the baptism of life and death, and they cannot withstand too much wind and rain, which will cause the level of human magicians to get worse and worse, and they will no longer be as strong as they used to be.

An orc brandished an axe and climbed up the wooden ladder, and at a glance saw Ryan standing in front of him, but this young human was very unified with the headquarters, because the orc saw 6 identical Ryan, this orc muttered in his heart: "I didn't drink today", roared, and slashed the battle axe in his hand towards a Ryan in front of him.

Ryan raised his right hand, ready to unleash a spell, but a figure behind him rushed ahead of him and knocked the orc into the air with a punch. Ryan smiled, at the beginning of today's battle, Alendor stood behind Ryan silently to protect him, but no orcs had attacked Ryan before, so it was not until now that Alendor made a move.

After laughing, Ryan looked at the dense orcs under the city wall, and began to cast spells again, since his own safety was protected by Allendo, Ryan also put all his energy into attacking. A ball of fire gathered in Ryan's hand, and when the spell was complete, Ryan threw him under the walls. It's full of orcs now, and there's no need to take aim at all.

The orcs under the walls held their shields aloft, and some of them still hid in siege engines, which did protect them from the fire of human archers and boulder logs, but no sturdy wooden shield could stop the fireball technique. With the sound of violent explosions and raging flames, more than a dozen orcs were blown into the sky, and a shallow crater appeared on the ground.

A few orcs who had climbed the walls spotted Ryan, and they fought back a few of the approaching human soldiers, screaming and lunging at Ryan, a young human who had already used magic to kill many of their companions, and had to kill him as quickly as possible.

Alendor directly greeted him, but in order not to arouse the fear of the human soldiers, Allendo still chose not to change his body, but in order to fight quickly, Allendo brought the weapon "Sharp Claw". The sharp steel claws unslashed an orc's weapon, and then engaged in an intimate exchange with his throat, and the orc's body froze before falling headfirst forward. Seeing this, the other orc threw the axe in his hand directly at Alendo, and the axe flew in a circle in the air, which was extremely fast in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of Alendor, who was known for his speed, this speed was nothing at all, he grabbed the axe in his hand casually, and threw it back.

"Ahh

"Poof!" Elendor kicked the orc in the thigh hard, the lower half of the orc's body was severely damaged, and the upper body naturally fell forward, and Elendor kicked the orc sideways off the wall, and knocked down an orc who was climbing.

After doing all this, Allendo kicked his feet hard and jumped back to Ryan's side, continuing to concentrate on protecting Ryan.

Ryan's magic is like a fish in water in this kind of melee, he also accurately calculated the power of the fireball after the explosion at the beginning, and later found that it was too much energy in actual use, so Ryan soon found a better way, to deal with the orcs gathered under the city wall, naturally throw a fireball to them, and to deal with those who attack the city wall, use lightning and self-created magic missile salvo to deal with.

"Boom!" another fireball exploded, blowing up more than a dozen orcs. "Wow!" a flash of blue lightning slashed directly at an orc who had climbed the city wall. "Poof!poof!poof!poof!" Several magic missiles flew out of Ryan's fingertips together, hitting two orcs who were standing relatively close together, saving the life of a human warrior.

Unconsciously, Ryan faintly became the commander of all the human soldiers in the vicinity, Colin and Thomas and other seven or eight elite shooters near Ryan gradually discovered that as long as Ryan's magic shot, he would harvest many orc lives and often rescue other human warriors from danger, so they stopped competing with each other, but gathered around Ryan, and consciously under the command of Ryan's magic, concentrated on shooting orcs to relieve the pressure on their comrades.
