Chapter 517: The Battle of Star Lake (Eighteen, Looking at Each Other Through the Fire)
,
As the horn sounded, Lorina immediately collected her thoughts, and her bright eyes swept the entire airspace.
She was very happy to see that this terrible war had been fought so far, but not a single necromancer dared to step forward and challenge her magicians in the air.
The proud magician, consciously or unconsciously, had forgotten about it, and although his magicians had been bombarding the ground, no one had ever crossed the middle line of the battlefield under Lorraine's strict orders.
They have always operated on this side of the Terrans. And once you encounter an enemy within this range, you don't need to fight, as long as you retreat slightly, you will enter the killing range of Cardinal Shirmel Hillelia on the ground.
Although the great wizard Udalk is a member of the undead world and has the pride unique to a high-level undead, he is not lacking in heart.
He will never be fooled by this kind of clear provocation and trap!
And the shamanic priests of the half-orcs, due to the ignorance of the half-orcs, no matter what kind of disaster the orcs suffer, these dogs and cubs can still be supported by the people, and they have big fish and meat every day, and they are drunk and beautiful, so they are not enterprising at all.
In the past thousand years, there have been almost no exhibitions.
In addition, it is closed and backward, and communication is not smooth. And the rules are strict, what is passed on to the son but not to the daughter, the son is not passed on to the daughter, and so on, so many of their original stunts have been lost.
In Lorraine's words, this is very much in line with the requirements of any race that is willing to fall behind and will inevitably be eliminated.
Up to now, these puppies are not only jumping gods, but also selling fake rat medicines. It's just a few strokes.
They are even less likely to pose a threat to Lorina and the others.
Therefore, Lorina, who is invincible in the sky, is also extremely arrogant.
She stood proudly in the air, like a goddess descending on the earth, high above, looking down on the common people. The long show couldn't stop fluttering in the breeze, and the clothes fluttered, looking like purple roses blooming in the wind.
Extraordinarily impressive!
Lorina shouted to the magicians, "Assemble! ”
As he spoke, he looked at the military formation of the orcs in the distance, saw the fluttering flags there, and snorted coldly with disdain at the moment, and then shouted to the group of magicians gathered around him: "Let's go, let's go!" Here is our performance time, if anyone dares to mess me up, I will personally send him to the Lost Forest for death training!"
The magicians all shivered at the moment. Do they know: the Lost Forest, where demonic beasts are rampant. Although going there cannot be said to be a dead end, there are few people who come out alive who do not become crazy.
At this time, Lorina's beautiful eyes swept over again, and they hurriedly agreed in unison, "Follow the orders of the elder!"
Lorina snorted, then turned around and flew towards the flames that were burning on the battlefield.
The rest of the mages didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed behind her and flew over as well.
Lorina slowly flew back as she quietly glanced back at it, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
In order to lure the enemy, he made such an obvious flaw, but the necromancer on the opposite side still held back and didn't attack from behind. What a goddamn old fox!
On the ground, Shirmel watched as a group of mages flew through the sky, and then looked at the opposite sky and there was still no movement, let alone necromancers, not even a bird. Immediately, he sighed lightly and dispersed the 'Holy Light Spear' that had been prepared in his hand for a long time.
In the half-orc army formation, although the great wizard Udalk looked at the empty door behind the magicians, as long as he made a move, he would definitely knock down several of them, but he also stubbornly resisted the impulse.
He's suffered a loss once. Although it was not clear where Schillia would be hiding, his intuition told him that the other party must be lying in ambush somewhere, waiting for him to take the bait.
Therefore, Master Wu looked at the magicians in the sky and pouted: Lao Tzu is not a fool, how can he trip over the same stone twice!
But at the same time, he was annoyed that the other party would use such a clumsy plan against him. Could it be that in their eyes, my dignified undead archwizard is so brainless?
Lorina led a group of magicians and returned to their roots.
At this time, due to the barrier of the fire, the battlefield had fallen into a state of temporary pause.
The orcs before the fire had been completely annihilated by the Emperor's ** Regiment. The orcs behind the fire now wanted to rush through the raging fire, or they had to bypass the gap in the flames. And in this way, it will become a refueling tactic, and it can only be eaten little by little by the emperor's ** regiment who are waiting for work.
Or, just wait for the fire to go out. After all, the flames could not burn forever, and as soon as they were extinguished, the orc warriors would rush through again like a tidal wave.
Just now, they already saw the hope of victory. The heroic warriors had already rushed to the front of the Emperor's ** array, and they almost tore through the defense line of the Terran Legion.
If at that time, there were five thousand more, uh...... No, just two thousand more. As long as two thousand men, if they can fight smoothly, the results of the battle will be extended. Then those damned Terran invaders will be defeated by themselves.
Therefore, although it was filed for a while, the patriarchs were still full of confidence, and loudly announced to their subordinates: Victory must belong to us, to the warriors of the great god Stone!
"We will surely kill all those evil invaders!"
"When the time comes, their weapons, food, and tents will be ours!"
"We will definitely be able to snatch them all away, and then live a happy and beautiful life!"
“......”
At their instigation, the orc warriors roared incessantly towards the Terran position through the raging flames.
Some impatient fellows even began to take action, braving the blazing flames, ignoring the high temperature that could soften the long hairs on their bodies, and began to water and cover the ground, wanting to extinguish the flames so that they could kill them as soon as possible, kill all those evil human beings, and avenge the blood and hatred of their dead compatriots.
But the fire was made of light petroleum as the main fuel, and there were other things added to it, and once it burned, it was so raging that it could never be extinguished unless it burned out on its own.
In Lorraine's time, it also had a terrifying name, Greek Fire!
Some scholars and historians even believe that it was one of the reasons why the Byzantine Empire lasted beyond a millennium.
Its power was so great that it was described by the crusaders who had been wounded by Greek fire: "Whenever the enemy attacked us with Greek fire, all we did was to bow down and ask for salvation from heaven." ”
It is said that this flame can only be extinguished with urine, vinegar, or sand.
But the fire was so huge that even from a few feet away, you could still feel the overwhelming blazing flames, and it was impossible to get close.
No matter how good the kidneys of the orcs were, they could not urinate on the fire a few feet away. And in the face of this raging sea of fire that went straight into the sky, they just wanted to fight, and there was not so much water source. What's more, before the war, they urinated a lot.
It can be seen that defecation is really bad!
As for vinegar, it is difficult for these orcs to even eat salt, and their happiness index has reached 99.99%. are all poor like this, how can there be vinegar?
Although it is also effective to use sand, but they are fighting on the battlefield, and they can only carry swords and swords, who will have nothing to carry a shovel on their backs?
Therefore, in the face of the rising wall of flames, the orcs could only roar and roar behind the flames, but there was nothing they could do.
On the side of the Imperial front, the artillerymen were desperately pouring water on the already red artillery, buckets of cold water poured on it, but with a bang, it instantly turned into a cloud of steam and disappeared.
The archers were also tired and had sore arms, and sat on the ground panting for breath.
You must know that these strong bows and crossbows, although they are quite cool to shoot, can penetrate the armor hundreds of steps away. But it takes a lot of force to pull the bowstring every time.
Under this round of high-intensity blows, these guys are also gritting their teeth and persevering.
Although they have also practiced for a long time, it is estimated that after this battle, many people's arms will be sore for at least three to five days, and some people's fingers have been sharpened by the bowstring.
They have been able to maintain it until now, and they are already tired of exerting all the strength to give birth to a son. It's almost to the point where the oil runs out and the lamp runs out.
If they were given another blow of this magnitude, they would simply not have been able to do it.
In this short interval, the commanders at all levels seized the time and quickly reported their consumption to Lorraine.
Lorraine also felt heavy when she looked at the report, and regretted it. Although before the battle, he had fully foreseen the combat power of these orcs, but the cost was too great.
More than half of the shells were fired, and nearly forty percent of the arrows were consumed. Only part of the oil tank remained.
The cost of this war is too great.
If it weren't for the Flying Eagle Company, the world's level trust, a monopoly multinational corporation, as a strong backing, even with the financial resources of Naian Province and even half of the empire, would not be enough to support such a high-consumption modernization war.
No wonder everyone is fighting now, it's all just the number of people. Hand-to-hand combat is employed. Because the soldiers simply don't have those supplies that are valuable. It's just that it's gone, turn around and pick up the rope, walk around the countryside, and you can pull a batch again, and use yourself as cannon fodder, and you don't need to feel heartache at all.
And materiel, shells, canisters, grenades...... These are all measured in gold coins, not to mention the long-distance transportation. Although there is no toll booth in the middle, and the layers of stuck necks ask for money, but the freight alone is worth the price of a donkey.
Lord Luo looked at the reports, his heart ached as if someone was holding a vice, breaking his ribs one by one, and his eyes were a little blue.
In a fit of rage, he squeezed the reports hard and glared viciously at the orcs in the distance. He secretly said in his heart: "You can't blame me for this. You forced me to do this. ”
At this time, Luo Lina had already circled in the sky, and all the magicians came directly above the Emperor ** group.
At this moment, a brass trumpeter below them immediately puffed out his cheeks and blew the loud horn in his hand.
"Whew!"
Hearing the sound of the horn, Lorraine knew that the magicians were in place, and immediately stood up from their chairs.
He stood up and looked at the orcs in the distance, seeing that even though they had been hit so hard by the Emperor's ** Regiment, they still refused to give up. Still like a wild beast, he lingered and roared like a wolf, smelling blood.
Lorraine couldn't help but say to herself: it's time to teach them a lesson they'll never forget. Otherwise, in another thousand years, these people will still live in ignorance. At that time, once anyone comes, the fate that awaits these orcs will inevitably be the death of the clan. Maybe you'll have to look at their specimens in a museum.
Thinking of this, Lorraine couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then said softly, "Let's start!"
With his order, the trumpeter next to him immediately blew the brass trumpet. And the flag bearers are also waving the military flag in their hands.
They do both at the same time, to ensure that any command that repeats dà does not make an error in the delivery process.
The commander of the grenadiers immediately received the order, and he immediately roared loudly.
Orders were passed down quickly.
Amid the roars of the officers mixed with foul language, the grenadiers immediately got busy.
They quickly picked up another jar that had been placed next to them, and then rested on top of their grenadiers.
At the last command, they pulled the mechanism and knocked the jar out.
The thousands, covered in red cloth, were struck into the sky, then arced and fell into the billowing flames.
When the orcs saw it, they immediately burst into an uproar.
These humans are too despicable to fight against the valiant orc warriors, and they actually add something to the flames, trying to eliminate the accumulation and avoid the battle, and maintain it for a while.
In anger, the orc warriors brandished the blades of their battle axes and cursed at the humans through the raging flames.
"Despicable fellow. “
"You should all eat. “
"Guts pups!"
“......“
With such a long distance, and the crackling and burning sound of the flames rising in the middle, only a few voices reached the Terran side.
Lorraine listened to a few words, and was extremely contemptuous of those orcs at the moment.
It's also a barbarian nation, and he can't even say swearing, and there are only a few sentences that he repeats over and over. It's not a 'coward', it's just a '', and it really loses the face of all the barbarian people's quarreling masters.
After everyone went out, they didn't dare to say that they were barbarians with high scolding skills and many tricks.
But those shouts annoyed the person next to him.
Although Grandpa Leo is young, he has never been a loser. He has always bullied others, and he has ever been scolded like this.
He immediately shook his body, waved his fist, and shouted in the direction of those orcs: "You damn pigs, you grew up eating shit. There are no brains at all. Even chimpanzees are 10,000 times smarter than you sons of bitches.
Your ancestors must have been born of a cross between a tortoise and a rabbit, and it was the product of a marriage between close relatives. Born to be an idiot baby......"
That scolding was a quarrel, and Wang Zhouxing was embarrassed when he heard it.
Since he had not yet reached the stage of voice change, his voice was crisp and loud, and it was clearly transmitted.
The Emperor ** Array was silent for a few seconds, and then they all laughed wildly.
"Hahaha......"
The laughter was so loud and loud that it completely drowned out the orc's shouting.
The orcs didn't hear it clearly at first, but then they heard the wild laughter of the Terrans, and at the moment it was strange, and at the same time it became even more angry.
One by one, they stared at the blood-red eyes, and they couldn't stop roaring, hoping to pass through the flames, and then rushed to the front of the Terrans, and slashed them well.
In a fit of rage, they did not arrive, and when the canisters were thrown into the flames, they did not increase the fire, but instead came out in puffs of smoke.
At this moment, the second batch of canisters from the grenadiers also came and fell into the fire. Then the smoke became more intense.
Immediately afterwards, a third batch of cans was also thrown in.
Several canisters even crossed the fire and were thrown at the feet of the orcs. The orcs were taken aback.
Although they boasted about it, they actually knew the power of those jars, and countless of their companions were burned to death by such jars during the attack just now. Now it has become a charred corpse in the fire.
The fellows immediately screamed and stepped back, but then the jar shattered, and instead of spitting out flames, there were only a few strange stones rolling out, and a strange stench.
Curious, everyone stepped forward to pick up the stone and looked at it over and over again.
At this time, the billowing smoke above the raging fire became even more intense. Even the crowd felt as if the flames had suddenly diminished.
At this time, I saw another batch of cans coming from the opposite side.
It's just that this batch is an out-and-out batch of cans of kerosene.
They fell into the burning flames, and suddenly the flames rose into the sky, and another burst of flames rose.
The orcs couldn't withstand the blazing heat, and immediately put their hands on their foreheads, and kept retreating.
Just hear a trumpet sound.
Lorena turned her head and raised her hand, and ordered in a loud voice: "Let's go, it's up to us now." If you don't want to be laid off, sell me more strength!"
After speaking, he led a group of magicians, lined up in a horizontal line, and flew towards the fire.
