Chapter 165: Attack
“waaaagh!
! ”
A large number of black orcs swept towards the defense area, and in order to gain knowledge, the defense area wizards and ring knights were unable to show weakness and launched a counter-charge.
The two sides fought together, but instead of joining the warband, Roman and Joss searched around trying to find a stronger individual and then kill them to gain knowledge.
Soon, they found a shaman and a heavily armored orc, and each shot a lava ray killed them, increasing their knowledge to the next level.
But it all ended there, and until the end of the battle, they didn't find a target worth killing.
Subsequently, they reported the news of the Black Orcs, attaching their own inference, believing that it was a conspiracy of the Academy Alliance.
But Violet didn't pay attention to it, only replied "I know", and then reported the news everywhere, without mentioning any reinforcements.
Just tell Roman: "In case of emergency, be sure to stand by for help, and if you can't hold on, let my father guard it!" ”
Then he hung up the communication, and Roman had ten thousand grass and mud horses running through in his heart, and he knew that this was Violet's revenge for his previous rudeness.
But Roman does not regret it, because in the face of unwarranted slander, he must give a strong response, otherwise once he leaves a communication record, there will be no peace in the future.
However, despite the lack of reinforcements, Roman was able to receive reinforcements, and when the news broke, volunteer wizards from all districts arrived in the pupae.
Compared to other calamities, Greenskin is obviously easier to kill, no one came to kill before, mainly because there was no knowledge indoctrination, and now with the Black Orcs, the situation is immediately different.
Black orcs are easier to kill, and there is knowledge indoctrination, so high cost performance attracts a large number of volunteers who vote with their feet.
The volunteers are in a hurry to kill the black orcs, Roman is extremely satisfied, killing ordinary orcs at this moment, he and Joss have no knowledge, and must kill a more advanced orc, the war lord.
Just like the Black Orc that Roman had killed earlier, the Warlord is usually the leader of a group of Orcs, roughly equivalent to the Great Knight.
They may be orcs who charge against the line or goblin shamans who cast spells from behind, but they all have one characteristic: they are much stronger than normal greenskins.
But in the eyes of wizards, it is still not enough, killing it is like slaughtering chickens and dogs, but the number of war lords is scarce, and usually one hundred thousand black beasts are born.
As more and more wizards kill ordinary orcs without access to knowledge, Warlords become more sought-after, leading to an even more serious consequence.
After killing the War Lord, the ordinary Black Orcs will retreat, and since the ordinary Black Orcs have no knowledge indoctrination, the Wizard will not bother to kill.
This led to an increasing number of ordinary black orcs, gradually forming a large scale.
By the time Roman realized this, it was too late, and the black orcs had already formed a million scales, sweeping towards the fourth defense zone.
A million black orcs are only two days away from the defense zone, and when Roman learns about it, he immediately blocks the news and holds an internal meeting.
"Roman, what are we going to do?" Joss worried: "When they get close to the defense zone, we can't stop the emotional energy of these millions of orcs!" ”
"And..."
She looked into the distance with concern, the volunteer wizards were in full swing, unaware of the impending danger.
Don't look at these volunteer wizards who are very motivated, it's just when the wind is down, and when they encounter a headwind, they run faster than anyone else.
At this time, Hannibal proposed: "Instead of preemptively weakening the enemy to an acceptable degree, as was the case last time." ”
Joss frowned and said, "Maybe it's not that easy, last time a million greenskins had the shadow of the Academy Alliance, this time it's even more obvious, the Academy Alliance won't let us succeed twice." ”
After some discussion, there was still no good way for the core members of the defense zone, and in the end Roman chose to strike first to weaken the invading enemy as much as possible, for which he explained:
"The Black Orcs are indeed stronger than the Green Skins, but why don't we, we have more volunteer wizards, and if we unite them, it will be a force that is not weak."
Hannibal said, "But a million orcs, they don't dare touch it, do they?" ”
Roman sneered: "Who said that there are a million orcs, did they see it with their own eyes? Claim that there are only 300,000 to the outside world, and then I will take them to brush up on their war exploits! ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the other participants suddenly lit up, except for them, no one knew that there were millions of orcs, seeing is believing, even if the detection range was opened to the maximum, the maximum perception would be 100,000.
As long as they think that the number of orcs is within the tolerance range, the morale of the volunteers will not cross, and they also need to kill the war lord and gain knowledge.
So under Roman's call, a large number of volunteer wizards gathered in the fourth defense area, and they were in full swing to kill the orcs.
Before leaving, in order to emphasize discipline, Roman asked the wizards involved in the operation to swear to the Eye of Judgment that all actions were under command and that they would not attack without permission.
Although the wizards were dissatisfied, they reluctantly agreed in order to gain more knowledge.
The Black Orcs are traveling the same path as the Greenskins last time, so Roman intends to repeat his old trick and use the terrain to gradually weaken them.
But when Roman and the others came closer to observe, they found that they had thought simply.
The Black Orcs are not chaotic green skins, they advance and retreat in an orderly manner, like a professional army, leaving no flaws, even when passing through the canyon forest, they will probe in advance to make sure there are no ambushes before advancing.
Under the tight and cautious defenses, the wizards were unable to inflict the effect of the surprise attack at all.
When passing through the canyon, the Black Orcs would send scouts to check the traps in the canyon and the mountains on both sides, and easily found Roman's ignition items.
While passing through the forest, the black orc scouts noticed a large number of dead branches and leaves in the forest, and immediately thought of burning the forest, so they hurriedly changed their route.
They divide the army of a million into several groups, separated by a distance from each other, and even if one of them is annihilated, it will not affect the remaining two.
Seeing this, Roman gave up the raid and decided: "Don't ambush, let's attack!" ”
The volunteer wizard took the order to go, and Roman failed several ambushes, which angered the wizard, if it weren't for the contract, they would have broken away from the army and killed themselves.
Now that Roman has ordered an attack, their morale is high, and they are looking forward to killing a few more War Lords and gaining more knowledge.
Roman brought one hundred and fifty wizards with him on this trip, accounting for half of all volunteer wizards, most of them were first-level wizards, and the combat power they combined would be an extremely terrifying number.
So Roman chose the largest number of black orcs, a central phalanx of 500,000, and he believed that if he succeeded in defeating it, it would be extremely beneficial to the future of the battle.
Black orc scouts spread extremely far, almost equal to the detection distance of essence mana, and it is difficult to sneak attack.
However, Roman tried to create as much surprise as possible, ordering the wizards to disperse, killing the scouts as he approached.
Halfway through, the wizard is still exposed, and when he kills a scout, he is spotted by a scout farther away, and then sounds the alarm.
So Roman no longer hid and directly ordered a strong attack.
In the next moment, light blades, poisonous mist, fireballs, and acid bombarded towards the enemy formation, and a large number of flashes appeared in the enemy formation, and the roar was one after another.
Roman directly used the Burning Vision, and his vision became a sea of fire, burning a large area of the black orcs and wailing.
“waaaagh!
! ”
The Black Orcs suffered heavy losses, but they also reacted quickly and launched a counter-charge against Roman, and the shaman began to collect the fanaticism of the orcs, transforming them into psionic energy and casting powerful spells.
But the orcs who counter-charged were soon met head-on and killed in large numbers, and the sky, the earth, and even the air were filled with the glow of witchcraft.
All kinds of energy storms did not stop for a moment, constantly tearing the ground under their feet, and hundreds of first-level wizards were in full swing, and the power of the explosion was enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.
In just a split second, 200,000 black orcs died.
But Roman's face changed greatly at this time, and he hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, retreat immediately!" ”
Although the wizards did not understand, they had no choice but to retreat because of the contract of the Eye of Judgment.
After running away for a while, they looked back and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Behind them, the black orcs formed a huge encirclement, and if Roman was a step too late, he would be made dumplings by hundreds of thousands of black orcs.
At that time, the two phalanxes in front and behind will return to help, and nearly a million black orcs will besiege them, and they will be unable to escape.
The wizards all looked solemn and put away their contempt, compared to the green skins, the black orcs were more executed, more organized, and able to complete all kinds of subtle tactics.
If it's a greenskin, after the first moment, don't say counterattack, nine out of nine will collapse immediately, and the wizards will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and then win a big victory.
But it didn't work with the Black Orcs, so a wizard approached Roman and asked, "Commander-in-chief, what should we do now?" ”
Roman thought for a moment and said in a loud voice: "We are small in number, strong in mobility, and strong in instantaneous bursts, while the enemy is huge and bloated, weak in mobility, and weak in local combat power. ”
"Therefore, our tactics are: the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase! Drag down the enemy with movement warfare, guerrilla warfare! ”
Hearing Roman's tactics, the wizards' eyes lit up and they received their orders one after another.
As a result, Roman launched round after round of attacks against the black orc military formation, and the target of the attack was no longer limited to the central military formation, and the two military formations in front and behind were also attacked.
Each bombardment lasted no more than five minutes, and with one shot to change places, the shaman simply didn't have time to gather waaaagh energy and couldn't cast spells to fight back.
In addition, the wizards' bombing sites are precisely allocated by chips to maximize the lethality of each time, and they are like a mosquito that can still use grenades, making the most of their strengths and avoiding weaknesses.
In a very short period of time, another 300,000 black orcs died, and the number was directly halved, coupled with the impact of continuous attacks on the speed of travel, resulting in a long distance from the defense area.
At this rate of death, if nothing else, before reaching the defense zone, the black orcs will not be left with one in ten, and their morale will be extremely low.
Without morale, the orcs would not have waaaagh energy, the shaman's witchcraft would not be used, and the threat of the black orcs would be eliminated for the most part.
But at this time, if nothing else, there will definitely be an accident.
The Black Orcs have always been stronger than the Greenskins, and after suffering a heavy blow, they gathered together and set up a camp, with tents as far as the eye could see.
The wizards were in high spirits and offered to attack again, but Roman did not immediately agree, and had a faint bad premonition.
Because the camp site of the black orcs was carefully chosen, deliberately chosen on the vast plains, which made it difficult to attack.
Secondly, the Black Orcs entered a static state, which had fewer flaws compared to the marching state.
In the end, the black orcs stopped advancing, and Yan Ran looked stubbornly waiting for help, who were the reinforcements?
Among them, Roman is most worried about the third point, if the reinforcements are the black orcs in the incubation base, it will be better, if it is the wizard of the Academy Alliance, it will be troublesome.
Roman voiced his concerns, but none of the volunteer wizards who killed the red eyes bought it, and at this point the contract deadline was about to expire, and they were about to leave Roman's command and be able to act on their own.
At this time, Qiao Si persuaded: "Just let them try, anyway, it won't affect us if they die, in the future defensive battle, volunteer wizards will not work at all, it is better to use them all here!" ”
Roman sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, I'm just a little reluctant, such a strong combat force is enough for us to do a lot of things." ”
Roman then agrees to the wizards' attack, but instead of participating, he and Joss stay further away from the battlefield and watch the volunteer wizards launch a witchcraft bombardment.
The First Cause of All Worlds
The wooden walls of the camp were blown down, and the camp was on fire, and because the orcs were all gathered together, the killing efficiency was doubled, and under the enlightenment of knowledge, the volunteer wizards all showed a look of enjoyment on their faces.
In the camp, the black orcs howled and ran in all directions, and their low morale made it difficult to gather waaaagh energy, and they were unable to make effective counterattacks.
In front of a humanoid turret like a wizard, orcs are only to be slaughtered.
This time, the wizards forgot the time Roman's set to attack, and poured their fire and knowledge to their heart's content, lasting well over five minutes.
The truth is all within the realm of witchcraft.
Joss smiled and said to Roman: "If this continues, the black orcs will die, are we worrying about nothing?" ”
Roman smiled helplessly: "I also hope so, but the truth is the opposite, the enemy reinforcements are coming, these wizards are dead, let's go?" ”
"Huh~?" Joss was surprised: "What's the matter, the essence magic power detection is obviously normal!" Where are the reinforcements? ”
Roman immediately shared his senses, and in the vision of the poisonous bees, several figures spared a large circle and surrounded the volunteer wizard.
If you look closely, it's all the attire of the Academy Alliance.
Obviously, the Academy Alliance colluded with the Black Orcs to make such a game, preparing to encircle Roman and other wizards.
Joss gasped and said, "Then let's go!" It's too late! ”
Roman nodded, using amplification sorcery, to inform the volunteer wizards of the information, but they were all red-eyed and thought Roman was joking, so they simply ignored it.
Only a small part, for the sake of safety, began to retreat with Roman.
Roman and Joss ran wildly, and after a while, there were a series of witchcraft fluctuations from behind, which was a sign of the wizard's battle.
Most of the volunteer wizards have sworn that they will not surrender to the Academy Alliance, so they have to fight to the death and fight each other fiercely.
But this time, the academy wizards came prepared, specially prepared more combat power, and completely relied on the strong to bully the weak, although the volunteer wizards resisted hard, and they were quickly wiped out.
