"Shoot the arrows!" Manna commanded loudly from the city walls, "trebuchet!

The orcs didn't want to entangle with the Black Blood Castle at all, they just wanted to quickly pass through the two-mile-long death passage in front of them. The white dragon forged an ice slide for them, smooth as a mirror. On the top of the slide, no one except the white dragon could stand up, and of course they didn't need to stand up.

Obviously, there is only one question in front of Mana: is the Black Blood Castle's firepower coverage strong enough?

"Shoot the arrows!" the knight was eager to grow eight arms and wield four longbows. However, the scope of the city wall is so large that many places have been specially designed to prevent enemies from climbing, and a lot of space has been "wasted". The archers were almost huddled together, pulling the bowstrings with all their might.

Arrows rained down.

Orc warriors held shields of all kinds, curled up as much as they could, and spun down the slide. The rain of arrows clanged on the shield, which had nothing to do with martial arts at all, and there was only one question of whether he was lucky or not. They curled up as much as they could, huddled under cover to reduce the risk of being hit.

Since the orcs had no way to fight back, the archers under the Heim command were able to shoot as much as they could, and the corpses of the orcs slid down the hillside with a long red trail of blood. When there is more warm blood, the ice will melt, and the white dragon will spit again, restoring the smoothness of the ice.

"The ballistas are all aimed at the white dragon and shoot it with steel arrows!"

The number of orc witch sacrifices is not large, and they cannot protect the entire passage, so they can only concentrate on the white dragon. They were prepared. Supports a ranged defensive shield. Deflects the bolts that come at you. Some of the small wounds on the dragon's body also recovered quickly under the treatment of the divine arts. The white dragon will also spew white frost mist upwards when it takes time, obscuring the sight of the defenders. However, this action made it impossible for the orcs and witch priests to see the situation around them, causing several heavy crossbow arrows to evade the defense net and hit the white dragon.

So the white dragon no longer sprayed, and honestly dodged attacks and repaired slides.

"Keep shooting, let the rotation come up early!" Manna found the orc and said to him, "The walls are yours, I'll go find the lord!"

The orc roared, "Stone! Throw it down, and be sure to light the wall of fire again. ”

Bundles of arrows were brought up, and they were quickly used up, and everyone was like crazy. The sound of the bowstring drowned out the sound of the mountain wind, and the sound was non-stop. The fire pot cuts through the sky, igniting, extinguishing, igniting, and extinguishing again, like a child playing a boring game. In the darkness of the night, I don't know how many orcs passed, I don't know how many died on the way.

At this time, no one counts the results of the battle, only thinks about archery and archery. Pulling the bowstring for a long time can cause finger injuries. They put a handful of herb ointment in a jar of herb ointment that had a hemostatic effect and wrapped it in a bandage. When the bleeding stopped, the shooting continued. The minions brought the onion broth, which could both quench hunger and replenish water, and the warriors drank it all in bowls.

Hour after hour, the incessant loading and firing caused the trebuchet to begin to malfunction, and two of the six were no longer usable, waiting for the craftsman to pull out his hands to make repairs. Stone projectiles were dropped at a slower rate, as were oil tanks, and archers were relied on to shoot at the walls.

Mana followed the soldier's instructions and found Siegel. He was pacing back and forth at the base of a tower, looking around for cracked and patched walls.

"My lord, what are you going to do next?" Manna asked eagerly, "The orcs are passing through very quickly, and we can't take down that dragon." ”

"I didn't think of the slide beforehand, and I didn't expect the Death Knight to really care about casualties. You're doing a good job, I don't have anything to add. Siegel said.

"My lord, could you please throw some fireballs?"

"I tried. Siegel said, "When the fireball flies in the air, it will be affected by the forbidden rune array, and it will be disturbed again in the sky above the black channel. I tried using magic, and after the fireball flew over, all that was left was the power of a normal flame arrow, which was very cost-effective. ”

"However, this also has a very obvious benefit, and it has become unrealistic for orc casters to attack the Black Blood Castle. Siegel stroked the wall with his hand, knocked around, and said, "I was ready for a spell confrontation, but now it seems that I have saved some effort. Perhaps the Death Knight also discovered this, so he didn't feel the need to attack the Black Blood Castle. ”

"It's good for you to continue to command, and if the tide of battle changes and I need to support you, I'll show up. Siegel rubbed his chin and kept his eyes on the tower.

Manna blinked, looking at Siegel's back, guessing what he was thinking. Could it be that the lord is going to let more orcs go over? There is a defensive line formed by the cavalry of the Jackdaw tribe at the bottom of the mountain, which can also kill the orcs. However, without the forbidden rune array of the city wall mountain range, the orc witch sacrifice can play a stronger role, and the outcome of the battle is unknown. The more the Black Blood Castle is released, the greater the pressure of the Jackdaw Tribe's battle.

From a mercenary's point of view, this isn't a big deal, but as a knight, Manna doesn't think it's time to start weakening the Raven tribe. The giant Kerry is in the castle, personally operating a ballista, and is on the rise. If he thinks about it and thinks of the situation of his compatriots under the mountain, it is estimated that his face will not look very good, right?

Does the lord really have such a plan?

Siegel had been checking the condition of the walls, digging out the cracks that had been sealed with plaster, and counting the number of bricks to calculate the height of the room. From time to time, he wrote and drew on paper, full of symbols and numbers that Manna couldn't understand.

The female knight looked at it for a while, suddenly realized, and suddenly shouted: "Lord Lord, it turns out that you are going to demolish this tower!"

Siegel shuddered, glanced back, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Scared me, why are you still here?"

Manna tugged at her hair, a little embarrassed - it turned out that the lord was not prepared to plot against his allies, and he had been thinking of a way. "I'm sorry, I was so excited that I couldn't control my voice. Do you want me to send some soldiers who can build houses, and they will mend the walls? Naturally, there is a way to tear it down. ”

"Yes. Go and shout. Siegel looked at the drawings in his hand. Pouted: "I calculated, if this tower is demolished, there is a hope that it will block the slide." Luck, that's the only way I can think of at the moment. ”

"Yes!" replied Mana, hurrying out to call someone.

Since you want to do it, you have to do it to the extreme. Siegel summoned earth elementals and soldiers to remodel the walls inside the castle. In order to avoid a collapse before the project was completed, he used three spells: Force Field Wall, Stone Wall, and Iron Wall as support.

This tower is the highest point in the Black Blood Castle, and it was "slashed" by the Black Dragon's strong wings as it swooped down. A large gap was formed, which was later simply repaired with bricks and stones. Siegel wanted the tower to smash into the valley, but the gap was on the side, which would affect the crooked angle, so he had to "tear down the old and make up for the new".

However, Siegel has a good knowledge of architecture and engineering, and has a lot of experience in tunneling, knows how to support the weight, and knows how to make it collapse.

When construction began, almost all the personnel were withdrawn from the tower, leaving only four archers still firing downward at the top - to paralyze the opponents. lest the orcs guess Heim's actions in advance.

It's getting dark, and it's a good time to use your strategy. The Death Knight was not idle, either. He sent an elite orc commando team to crawl along the cliffs of the Walled Mountains towards the Blackblood Castle. Although he didn't know how the Black Dragon and the Dragon Knight died, he knew that the general on the other side was the great enemy of Nakuth.

The lives of the countless orcs on the slide temporarily satisfied the greedy ** of the forbidden runes, just as the deaths of countless resentful spirits weakened the strength of the spell. The orcs lying on the mountain wall encountered much less resistance, and the walled mountains did not seem to have any intention of killing them.

But for the sake of safety, the Death Knight still cut out the tongues of these orcs and tied their mouths with strips of cloth, so that even if they died in the middle of the road due to various "accidents", they would not let out a scream.

The wolf wears an iron halter and cannot open its mouth.

The only ones who weren't tongued out were the four witch priests, who also needed a voice to cast spells.

The eyes of everyone in the Black Blood Castle were focused on the direction of the valley passage, and no one in this group of more than thirty orcs noticed it. Because the orcs have the ability to see darkly, they are all on the front line of the city wall, concentrating their fire on the downward fire, and no one looks up.

All night, the orcs were "on the slide", but the pace was getting slower and slower. The main reason was that their shields were insufficient, and the casualties were too heavy in a dense formation. In fact, the main casualties came from trebuchets, and it was not cost-effective to fire a trebuchet salvo for three or five orcs. The orcs found out about this, and at the same time, in order to cover their plot, they changed to a few orcs to gamble their luck together.

The white dragon's shield was finally smashed, so it was full of arrows. The wound stopped bleeding after being healed by the witch sacrifice's divine magic, but the exhaustion of his body forced him to withdraw from the battle. In fact, in the second half of the night, the white dragon no longer had the strength to spit out ice and snow, and only had the ability to cough up blood. It did not go down the hill, but climbed back up on its own. Manna noticed this and knew it had a conspiracy.

But where is the conspiracy? The female knight couldn't figure it out.

When dawn falls, exhausted people can finally inspect the battlefield. The corpses stacked under the slide were uncountable, with broken weapons and broken armor littering the floor. A layer of ice and a layer of blood, the "slide passage" has a strange pink color, which is disgusting.

At the top of the slide, a large group of orcs began to assemble, and there were also hill giants and trolls inside. The wolf cavalry also appeared in the ranks, looking at the Black Blood Castle with fierce eyes.

"What are they going to do?" Hum Ke, with bloodshot eyes, picked up his binoculars to observe. He saw some orcs with hooks and ropes in their hands, and some with bladed skates on their feet.

"It's so strange, why did you decide to attack the city at this time?" Hum Ke tugged at the hair on the top of his head, unable to figure it out. It stands to reason that you should not give your best at the beginning, what is the rhythm of dying all the way to the city and then rushing to the city?

"Go, report to Sir Mana, the orcs may be attacking the city. He licked his lips and added, "Find the lord, otherwise I will always feel uneasy." ”

After the herald left, he pulled out the Yang Yan Sword with a snort, emitting a flame-like light: "Cheer up, heat the oil, prepare the javelin and long pole, the orcs are coming to die!"

Hum Ke is like a bright beacon, lighting up the entire battlefield. (To be continued.) )
