Chapter 15: The Bloody Battle of the Canyon
Frank walked to a huge rock, looked at the orcs gradually dispersed in the distance, and muttered a little in his heart, this group of orcs, instead of surrounding, withdrew, what kind of trick are they playing?
Yun Xiaoyu was helping an injured demon swordsman when he suddenly had a hint of foreboding. So he let go of the demon swordsman and looked around. When he saw Frank standing on the rock, he shouted in his heart, and hurriedly shouted while carrying the power of destruction and rushed over: "Lord Frank!
Frank heard someone shouting at him, and subconsciously looked back, but was thrown off the rock by Yun Xiaoyu.
"Ahem, what are you doing?" Frank was a little annoyed. The next moment, his face changed.
The rock he was standing on was hit by a beam of light from nowhere, and it exploded in an instant. When Frank saw this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at Yun Xiaoyu, who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, and the anger in his heart suddenly turned into gratitude. If it weren't for this kid, I'm afraid it would have been me who was smashed just now!
But he soon realized that something was wrong. He shouted loudly: "Quick, be on alert, concentrate on the defense of the formation, and pay attention to the air." "Actually, the professionals of the Dragon Temple who didn't need him to shout also took action. After all, everyone saw the scene just now.
Frank wondered in his heart, aren't all orcs only good at hand-to-hand combat? There is no such skill as an archer, so how can they attack me from such a distance?
At this moment, a sharp-eyed bow pointed at the sky in the distance and shouted, "Look at that!
I saw a silver light flickering in the sky, and it was rapidly approaching the professionals of the Dragon Temple. After all, Yun Xiaoyu had studied with Yu Wuqing for two years, and he knew a lot about the alien race clearly, so he quickly recognized it, and shouted loudly: "It's the elf clan! Those are the archers of the elf clan! Everyone quickly dodge! Beware of their bows and arrows!"
After a few seconds, the silver light finally approached, and everyone could see the faces of the elves. They all look like humans, but they are petite and unusually handsome, with a pair of pointed ears and a pair of thin wings on their backs. In their hands, they all hold longbows. Elves are all natural marksmen, and the arrow that attacked Frank just now was shot by one of the elves. The elf was obviously the leader of this group of elven archers, and he quickly ordered, and all the elves took out their arrows and mounted their bowstrings.
"Hurry up, everyone, find cover!" Yun Xiaoyu shouted loudly while raising the uniformly equipped cavalry steel hand shield. The other Dragon Temple professionals also reacted very quickly when they heard the shout, some raised their shields like Yun Xiaoyu, some hid behind the boulders, and some couldn't find cover, so they simply lifted the wooden planks of the broken carriage on the ground as shields.
Then, the elves in the sky attacked. Hundreds of arrows with magical attributes formed a rain of arrows and fell towards the Dragon Temple professionals below.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk......" A dense crash sounded, and the elves' arrows were nailed to the bunkers and shields of the professionals. Yun Xiaoyu's hand holding the shield was numb from the shock.
Before the pros could catch their breath, the elves drew their bows and arrows again, and a new wave of attacks arrived.
Hundreds of elves shot more than ten waves of volleys in a row, until the arrows were exhausted, and then turned into a piece of silver light and gradually faded away. Frank looked at the elves in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly stood up and shouted loudly: "Quick, count the casualties, and the outer warriors, knights, and archers are ready for battle." "By this time, the orc army had gradually overwhelmed.
After counting the casualties, Frank breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yun Xiaoyu reminded him in time, otherwise under the sudden attack, I don't know how many casualties would occur. None of them are dead now, except for a few unlucky ones who have been shot in the calves by arrows.
By this time, the warriors on the periphery had already started a battle with the orcs. With the archers' shots, the professionals of the Dragon Temple resisted the enemy's attack with dozens of times the strength of the enemy, they maintained a tight formation, even though the orcs were already going all out, rushing forward madly, but under the strong shield wall of the shield warrior and the knight's sword, the orcs could not advance even a single step.
"The hall master ......" At this time, Collin, who had fainted due to excessive blood loss, had woken up faintly. He glanced at Frank and struggled to his feet. And just such a simple action made him breathless. Colin said eagerly to Frank: "Hall Master, we must break through as soon as possible." ”
Frank smiled: "Don't worry, the breakthrough is definitely wanted, but there is no rush to wait for a while, and then consume some of their troops." ”
Colin shook his head and said, "No, you have to leave immediately." Lord Frank, our detachment of 100 people has not only been exterminating the small force of orcs since its departure, but also inquiring for information. A few days ago, we got the exact news that the orcs had gathered 30,000 elite troops on the border, preparing to directly bypass the fortress of Yumen Pass in Fengshen Pass, cross the Cecilia Mountains and directly attack Rhea City, opening a gap and quickly entering the hinterland of the empire. And that's when we were accidentally discovered. The orcs chased us all the way and finally surrounded us. We must break through quickly, otherwise a large number of orcs will come, not only will we not be able to break through, but the city of Rhea will also fall quickly because of unpreparedness! ”
"What!" Frank's face changed suddenly. You must know that the Wind God Pass is indeed the only gap in the entire Far North to the hinterland of the Empire, and the surrounding mountains are so steep that ordinary people cannot pass through them except for extremely powerful professionals. But orcs are different. Orcs are born with extremely strong bodies, and if the orc generals are really ruthless, it is not impossible to march directly through the mountains on both sides into the hinterland of the empire. There is only one infantry regiment stationed in Rhea City, and the army of 30,000 orcs, even if a small half is lost in the process of climbing the mountain, the remaining elite orcs are still not something that Rhea City can resist. He immediately ordered: "Quick! The outer defense line retreats, everyone gathers, and the siege will break through immediately in five minutes!"
