Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Battle of Teletham (Part I)
"Brothers, warriors, all those who have fought alongside me, those who have not fought alongside me, today we stand here, facing an army of 100,000 beasts, they have no mercy, no sympathy, they have lost their faith, they are brutal, they destroy the homes of all free people, they destroy all justice and peace in the world, they want war, they want to rule this world with darkness, and now, they have met us, the kingdom of Teletham, the last line of defense of mankind, we are the last hope of the human world, the last hope of the free people of the world, and now, for TelethamDeclare war on the darkness for the sake of freedom!"
In the rainstorm, the city of Teletham was like a giant lying down and washed by the rain, and at this moment, Alonso, the supreme leader of the southern human kingdom, was standing at the head of the city, giving a pre-war speech to the 80,000 allied troops involved in the war in the city. It was a large-scale, epic battle. On the besieging side of the city is an army of 150,000 orcs led by Bloodroar himself, who are the main force of the Iron Legion, with the strongest orc warriors, the sharpest weapons, and the strongest armor. Their allies are made up of all dark creatures, cyclops, blood knights, wolfmons, goblins, fallen black elves, werewolves, gargoyles, and dark wizards.
But the defenders also had the strongest squad in history, 50,000 elite Tyletham infantry, 10,000 elven archers, a large number of dwarven allies, Northern Alliance rangers, elven and dwarven knights, and the Celetem King's Guard. Almost all the free tribes of the entire Herrera world have gathered here. The city was their last hope.
"Roar, roar, roar. ”
The orc armies began to move, and the majestic trumpets and war drums of the Kodomon were scattered over the mountains, and the Iron Legion was larger than anyone could have imagined, coming from all directions, and the plains outside Teletum were not even enough for them to stand. A black dark tide surged through the mountains and forests, and the rain washed over the land, and the raindrops fell on the steel armor with a gurgling sound.
The city of Teletum is located at the foot of Mount Olympus, the whole city is built around this holy mountain, layer by layer, a total of nine layers of walls, surrounding the city, surrounding the holy mountain in the middle, on the holy mountain in the center of the city, is a huge marble statue, that is the statue of the archangel Tyrese, the belief of mankind.
The nine-tiered walls were staggered, and the defenses became stronger the further they went, with circular bastions at intervals with war machines, various catapults, and crossbows. The city is also divided into nine districts, and the dense streets are scattered like a labyrinth through the city, and when viewed from the air, it is an extremely prosperous and impregnable city, and the only weakly defended place is in the sea port. Bloodroar had set up a plan at the beginning of this war to let the orc army conquer the city from the sea, but now, the Great Chief of the Tribe had no choice, his navy was gone, and storming the city was the only option for the orc army now, but, Teletham, except for the bay, it was almost invulnerable.
"Roar. ”
Bloodroar rode the tall wolf, in the center of the legion, his roar was wild and powerful, all the orcs stopped at the first moment, and the steel army suddenly fell silent in the pouring rain. The atmosphere was unsettlingly quiet.
"Offense. ”
In the next second, the orc chief roared angrily. At this time, the crowd saw that the attack of the orcs did not start with charging and attacking, but using a giant catapult!
Apocalyptic scenario? No, that's far worse than the apocalyptic scenario. Hundreds of projectiles with hot oil were thrown at the city of Tellatham in an instant, the roar of the machine, the boulder flying in the air, and the blazing flames falling like meteor meteors. The Templar City, the outer part of the Imperial Capital of Mankind, was ablaze in an instant, the Rist neighborhood was burned, hundreds of houses were on fire in an instant, the streets were littered with flint debris, and the oil contributed to the spread of the fire even more rapidly.
But the human fire brigade has long been ready to go to various neighborhoods to extinguish fires at any time. Alonso had long expected such an offensive, and the defense of Teletham was watertight, and before the battle, King Alonso had already evacuated the inhabitants of the city to the inner city, and the fire ignited by the orc's boulder attack did not cause harm to a single resident of Telletham, but the people on the holy mountain still saw a little spark burning in the outer city a few kilometers away. Maybe there's their house there......
"Launch!"
Bloodroar continued to command loudly.
Catapults loaded with boulders were constantly fired into the human city, and the burning flints were constantly thrown into the air and smashed into the city, and a few boulders were lucky enough to hit the human walls, causing several small collapses of the outer walls.
But orcs have war equipment, humans have the same thing, or the siege equipment of the early orcs was learned from humans, and in terms of long-range weapons, humans have far more technology than orcs.
Just after the first round of flint fired by the orc steel army, the human heavy catapults located on the inner fortress of Telat began to activate, and these huge city defense weapons were the real heavy weapons, it was twice the size of the orc catapults on the ground, and a dozen human sappers and five or six dwarven guards could work together to use these weapons of mass destruction.
"Boom, boom, boom. ”
It was a momentum-building attack, and the human soldiers stood on the walls of the outer city, and heard a thunderous roar in the distance, and after a few seconds, a boulder twice as large as the orcs was thrown from above the towers of the inner city of Teller, although it did not carry flames, but the size of the stones, as well as the speed, and the whistling sound of shuttling through the air, had completely crushed the orcs' catapult weapons.
But this may only be possible in the imperial capital, and the statue of Tyrese is located on the Holy Mountain, and at this moment, from this point of view, these giant stones are just a grain of sand in the sea. Torrential rain washed over the city, and dark clouds surrounded the sacred mountain, and for the first time, the orc army felt the pressure under a city and defenses of this size, with its tall fortresses and towers standing everywhere, obscured by a sea of clouds.
"Boom. ”
The first boulder smashed into the crowd of the orc iron army. With a terrifying blow, the area hit by the boulder was the size of half a training ground, and hundreds of orc warriors had no time to escape, and were instantly crushed into flesh, while the boulder continued to roll forward for a distance, and countless orcs were crushed on the way to the boulder.
"Offense. ”
The orc legions bombarded by the boulders continued to shrink, and now, the orc chief Blood Roar began to roar and ordered the large army to attack the city in close combat. However, the next scene was beyond everyone's imagination, Blood Roar attacked the city in an extremely brutal way, the Great Chief roared, and in an instant, tens of thousands of goblins rushed out of the orc steel army, they were armed with rudimentary wooden shields, small swords, and frantically rushed towards the outer city wall of Telletum, however, Blood Roar did not assign them siege weapons, what did these small but surprising number of goblins want to do?
"Launch!"
But the commander of the Teletham Archery Guard did not have time to think so much, as soon as the enemy rushed up, they would shoot, no matter how many of them there were.
In an instant, all the human archers in the outer city shot out the arrows in their hands, and the rain of arrows pierced the sky and sprinkled densely at the goblin soldiers under the city. Soon, groups of goblin warriors fell, their shields, weapons scattered all over the ground, no armor meant that every arrow would kill them as long as it hit, but they still ran wildly, completely ignoring their own life and the death of their companions, leaving dense corpses on the battlefield.
"Keep firing, don't stop. ”
The goblins surged up as they got older, densely packed, and the human archers began to marvel at their number, which seemed to be endless, pouring out of the cracks in the orc legions, wave after wave. Gradually, the soldiers in front fell, and the soldiers in the back stepped on the corpses of their companions in front of them and continued to advance, and the corpses of dead goblin warriors were piled up under the walls, and the human archers fired intensively, and almost none of the goblins were still alive under the walls.
Gradually, more and more corpses piled up. Then there was a surprising scene, all the goblins did not mean to save their companions, but stepped on the dead or wounded companions, of course, they did not get close to the wall, but their corpses were piled up in a slope, directly to the height of the wall of Teltham!
The next moment, countless orc warriors roared towards the human wall, and in front of them was no longer the tall Taylum wall, but a climbing passage made of dead goblins!
