Chapter 252, Camp Xiao

"Siege!"

With the commander's order, countless orcs raised the ladder and charged towards the city wall with trembling steps.

"Boom~~"

Both sides responded to the sound of the magic crystal cannon and turned on the confrontation mode, and for a while, the smoke filled the heavens and the earth.

The orc soldiers who charged under artillery fire became the biggest victims, not only suffering from enemy shells, but also possibly being hit by their own people's magic crystal cannons.

A team of wild boar people, as soon as they put the ladder on the ladder, was hit by their own magic crystal cannon, and the flesh and blood were blown up all over the sky.

The question is: the accuracy is insufficient!

With the productivity of the Orc Empire, being able to make a magic crystal cannon is a miracle in itself, so what else can we talk about?

Of course, the hit rate of the Alpha Kingdom's magic crystal cannon is also pitiful. A few miles away, a deviation of more than ten or twenty meters, that is a common thing.

In addition to mutual artillery suppression, more firepower was poured into crowded places. No matter how low the hit rate is, as long as the general direction is right, it can play a role.

The defensive magic array in the city has been activated, but unfortunately the interception ability of the magic enchantment is limited, and it is more about weakening the enemy's attack.

The power on the outside is ten, and when it falls on the city wall, only one or two remain. But no matter how weakened you are, you can still kill.

Two defenders holding rolling stones high were about to fall down when they were unfortunately hit by artillery fire and half of their bodies were blown up.

The fierce battle lasted until nightfall.

In the commander's camp, Crown Prince Daniel, who once again served as the commander of the army, was gathering with a group of generals of various tribes at this moment, waiting for the casualty figures in the statistics.

It can be seen that Daniel, who has become the crown prince, has been a lot more restrained, and he is no longer as sharp as he was in the past.

"Marshal, the casualty data of the various clans have been counted. A total of 1,879 men were killed and 3,465 wounded in the daytime siege battle, respectively......"

Before the young officer could finish speaking, Daniel interrupted: "Got it, you go down!" ”

As the commander of the army, it is enough to know the total casualty figures, there is no need to know so much detail.

After all, those who are now participating in the siege are all cannon fodder races of the Orc Empire. No matter how many deaths they had, the royal family and royal generals present would not really care.

Waving off the young officer, Daniel said with a solemn expression: "The defensive capability of the Fortress of Satex has been seen by everyone, and the situation of several other important military towns of the enemy is estimated to be similar.

More alarming than the fortification of the walls is the performance of the enemy defenders. Both the combat quality and the ability to cooperate and cooperate have been greatly improved.

In the past, only the standing army of the enemy had such a professional quality, but now it appeared in all the soldiers of the defenders.

What this means, everyone must know in their hearts. The enemy has become more and more powerful, and if you continue to deal with it according to the previous concept, you will definitely suffer a great loss.

All these changes were triggered by the person we least wanted to mention. If the development of the Alpha Kingdom is not interrupted, the future of the empire is in doubt.

Under the nest, no one can be left alone. For the sake of the Empire, this battle must be taken by the Near East with minimal losses! ”

As soon as the words landed, a group of orcs exploded. It is no secret that the strength of the Alpha Kingdom has grown.

The front was pushed from the north to the Near East, increasing the territory by more than 2 million square kilometers and the population by tens of millions.

The strength of the enemy has increased, the key is that the orc empire has been in a continuous civil war in recent years, and the strength of various races has decreased instead of increasing.

Under the advantages of the other, the offensive and defensive momentum of the two sides is about to be reversed. If it weren't for the development of new territories, which consumed a lot of manpower, financial resources, and material resources, it would have become the Alpha Kingdom that took the initiative to provoke the war now.

"Marshal, we all know what you mean! The Alpha Kingdom is too much of a threat to the Empire, and we must interrupt their rapid development. It would be better if Hudson could be killed.

It's just that now that the enemy's defense line has been constructed, we have obviously missed the best opportunity to attack.

It was even more difficult to kill the enemy commander, Hudson's personal strength itself was a fog, and judging from the situation of his shot, even if it was not a holy realm, it was estimated that it was not much worse.

At least the best priests of the empire could not be as continuous and instantaneous high-level magic as he did.

What's more, this person is accompanied by two holy realm demonic beasts, and there are very few strong people who can match him, let alone kill them.

If you can invite the three elf queens to attack together, supplemented by a number of holy domain powerhouses to intercept it, you may be able to make a contribution! ”

Marquis Ussuch said with a big grin.

As a lion general, he suffered relatively little. At least now I dare to think about how to get rid of Hudson, and the other few who have suffered a lot will change color directly when they mention this name.

Asking the elven sanctuary to come and attack Hudson is easy to say, but the problem is that the enemy is not stupid.

As a commander of a large army, as long as he does not jump into the encirclement to the death, it is impossible to be easily attacked.

You can't just break into the camp and kill people, right? Ants bite elephants to death!

As long as there are a few eighth-order powerhouses who are willing to fight for their lives, once the powerhouses of the Sacred Domain are entangled, they can still be surrounded and killed by the army.

Compared with the strong men of the Alpha Kingdom who have been fighting all year round and have been killed in a pool of blood, the life of the elves in the holy realm is too comfortable and comfortable.

With the not-so-good alliance between the two sides, people are willing to help the field, so they take care of the overall situation, and they don't have to think about it.

"The Marquis of Usukhe doesn't have to worry about it. When we started this war, they were already against it.

You all know the habits of those elves. If possible, they hope that the situation on the mainland will remain unchanged for eternity.

Anything that breaks the continental pattern is heretical in their eyes.

Claiming to be peace-loving, in fact, who doesn't know that the elves suffered a heavy blow in ancient times, which affected fertility.

In ancient times, elves and couples usually had more than a dozen offspring, and those who gave birth to dozens of children appeared.

It's like the current elves, ...... fertility"

Perhaps realizing that it was not good to talk about allies like this, Daniel swallowed back the last words and left them to everyone to make up for themselves.

The relationship between the elves and the orcs is a typical mutual disdain. These are historical issues, and they are still unsolvable legacies.

After the hegemony of the elves entered a period of decline, the orc race, which was composed of multiple races, was born, replacing the hegemony of the elves.

There are few strokes in the history books, but normal people know that in the process of the transfer of hegemony, friction between the old and new overlords is indispensable.

After all, there is only one way to gain hegemony in Aslant - a war!

Beat all the ethnic groups on the mainland, and everyone will be convinced, you will be the overlord. If you can't do it, it's nothing.

When a plan is shattered, a new plan must be opened. Unfortunately, all strategic plans must be based on strength.

A dozen plans were rejected in a row, and the field suddenly fell silent. There's no way, that's all there is to everyone's head.

The enemy is strong and clear, and he can't come out of the city walls, so there is really no better choice than to storm and besiege.

As for bypassing the pass fortress and directly entering the enemy's rear, all the orcs tacitly did not mention it.

You can't send it like this if you look for death, the enemy is the Great Demon King. Give up the back road and go deep alone, I'm afraid I'm tired of it.

What's more, they have so many soldiers and horses, and logistics are also a big problem. Completely deprived of supplies, it can't last long in the wild.

"Report!"

"Marshal, there was a mass poisoning in the battalion, and the sacrificial inspection was that the enemy poisoned the corpses.

According to the priests, these toxins are hidden and are not the poison of the undead in the past. Even if it's a high-level sacrifice, it's hard to find it without careful inspection......"

The bad news brought by the guards made the faces of the orc generals more and more ugly. The enemy didn't even want to lose face, and even used the three indiscriminate poisoning methods.

If it gets out.....

It's an awkward question, and it's useless to get it out.

With the continuation of disputes on the mainland, everyone's bottom line is also constantly being broken. At this point in development, the continental pattern has become bipolar, and international public opinion can no longer play its role.

Anyway, they have all become enemies, and the human race, as the overlord of the continent, no longer cares about the opinions of all races.

"Despicable!" "Shameless!"

········

A series of scolding resounded in the tent.

In the past, the enemy destroyed their "food" by using necromancy. As soon as it begins to transform into an undead creature, it is stained with death.

This kind of operation is the least laborious, and even a magic apprentice can contaminate dozens of corpses. There is also a professional name for the outside world: the poison of the dead.

It's just that although this thing is vicious, the corpse will change after being contaminated with the poison of the undead, and ordinary people can see the problem at a glance.

The number of necromancers is limited, and even if they are bent on sabotage, they can't take care of the entire front.

This wave of poisoning is obviously an advanced version. It is impossible to determine which bodies are contaminated, so all the bodies have to be discarded.

The absence of an important source of meat is a heavy strain for the orc army.

"Pass the order, let the sacrificial group come up with a testing method as soon as possible, and prohibit the consumption of corpses on the battlefield before that!"

Daniel ordered through gritted teeth.

At this moment, he had already understood that the enemy allowed them to attack, not because they were not ready for war, but because they wanted to fight a logistical war with them.

......

In the middle of the night, a group of wind mages quietly went up to the head of the fortress of Sathex, and there were countless medicine boxes behind them.

"It's often windy at night on the steppe in winter, and now the wind is in the direction of the enemy camp, so we secretly push it, as long as it's not my wife, they shouldn't find it immediately!

However, the wind direction may change at night, and the powder may be blown back after entering the enemy camp.

Inform the defenders in advance to be ready and cover their mouth and nose with a damp cloth to avoid accidental injury.

Of course, if someone really gets hit, don't worry too much, these powders are not very lethal, mainly psychedelic effects.

If you find something wrong, just knock the person unconscious, and when you wake up tomorrow, the effect of the medicine will pass. ”

The black-robed mage said slowly.

Poison production should also pay attention to cost-effectiveness, direct and immediate strong poisons are easy to use, but the cost is too high.

In contrast, psychedelic potions are much less expensive, and the main ingredient is a psychedelic herb that grows in the western part of the kingdom, supplemented by several other ingredients.

Just listen to the name and you can guess the efficacy. As long as the amount of use is not too large, basically no one can die.

Releasing this thing here isn't about how many people you're going to poison.

The main purpose of releasing the potion is to stimulate the senses of the orc soldiers and release the primordial thoughts in their hearts.

Resting in the ordinary army, it may be a few small farces. But in the army of orcs full of contradictions, it is a camp roar.

"Don't worry, Mage Betty.

We have been prepared as you have told us to do in advance. All the soldiers covered their mouths and noses with damp cloths tonight, even when they were sleeping! ”

Listening to Count Ebert's assurance, Mage Betty looked around and saw that all the soldiers were wearing sackcloth masks, except for their group of magicians.

Obviously, this is not an empty phrase, but it is really prepared. "Do it!"

At the sound of an order, all the magicians on the city wall struck at the same time, using magic to scatter the medicinal powder into the air.

In order not to arouse the idea of the enemy's sacrifice, everyone tacitly suppressed the magic fluctuations, and the magic elements between heaven and earth were not mobilized when they cast spells.

In this way, everyone's consumption is much greater. Almost everyone has a magic crystal in their hands, constantly replenishing their energy.

The north wind howled, and countless medicinal powders mixed with dirt and dust drifted with the wind towards the orc army camp.

"Phew, Phew......"

The dust of the dirt obscured the powder, and the defenders, who did not know what was happening, just thought they were unlucky and ate a mouthful of ashes.

As the minutes passed, the guards guarding the camp gate gradually became angry, especially at the junction of different races, which was full of gunpowder.

"Stinky rat, what are you looking at?"

A patrolling elephant soldier reprimanded the nezumi team in front of him.

In the Orc Empire, it's all too normal for the superior race to reprimand the lower race.

It's just that I don't know which nerve is twitching, and a young nezumi suddenly rushed out of the team of ratmen who were being trained, and directly replied: "Who is the rat, we are the noble rat clan!"

Unlike you, even if you evolve into an elephant man, you still can't forget the identity of a brute elephant! ”

The normal quarrel ignited the elephant man's temper. When did the lowly nezumi dare to shout at them?

If they can still endure this, wouldn't it seem that they haven't gotten rid of low-level fun like humans, and they are still on the same level as rat people!

"Stinky rat, you're looking for death!"

As he spoke, the irascible elephant man slashed directly at him, and the young rat man who was caught off guard was directly cut off half of his head.

In the past, when this kind of thing happened, it must have been the rat people who apologized and calmed down.

But today is different, a group of rat people who are angry at the head, I don't know where they got the courage, they picked up the weapons in their hands and rushed forward.

Some people died, but not completely......
