Chapter 424: Three-way battle situation, orcs attacking the city

The total uprooting of the outer fortress meant the beginning of the Orc Alliance's general assault.

For the Nalan Empire, it is not only necessary to defend the western defense line and repel the attack of the Orc Alliance, but also to destroy the Holy Descent Gate before it is fully opened, otherwise there will be no more chance.

It sounds like an impossible task, but the Orc Alliance is not without its worries.

To the northeast of the orc territory, Ivo, the High Elf Grand Commander, leads an elven army to the edge of the forest. Instead of rushing into the Imperial fortress group defenses, they kept attacking the flanks of the Orc Alliance forces.

Elves are the darlings of the world, and they are the strongest race in the world of Hess. Every elf has the talent to become a good archer, a powerful nature magician, and a nimble warrior, and what they want to become depends on the elve's own will.

Ivo led the First Army of Herzoloren, and the armies that usually bear the title "First Army" are the ace troops of a certain country, as are the High Elves.

The first army of Hetholoren is extremely powerful, although there are only 50,000 people, but these 50,000 people are all intermediate and above professionals, and there are 10,000 senior professionals!

In fact, when it comes to cultivation speed, humans and sea clans are well-deserved first and second places. Elves have a long lifespan, good talents, and a high ceiling of individual strength, but their cultivation speed is not fast.

But the living environment of the elves is much better than that of humans, sea tribes, blood tribes and other races, and no race dares to provoke the elves in the forest, so the Hess forest, except for some specially allowed caravans, is a forbidden area for other races.

The elven cities centered on Hertholoren are a well-deserved paradise for elves, and elven citizens rarely die by accident.

Elves are peace-loving, and rarely come into conflict with other races, unless their vital interests are seriously harmed.

There have been only a handful of cases in history where elves have sent troops to fight against other races, but without exception, they have all shown great strength in battle.

The elven kingdom had such an unreasonable rule a long time ago, that is, every elf must choose a direction to cultivate, which created another scene that was completely different from the orc alliance.

The Orc Alliance was forced out by the harsh living environment, and the elves were trained by themselves.

The First Army of Herzoloren was a very special force, they all had bows and could move and shoot, even magicians could shoot two arrows from a distance.

The Orc Alliance does not have any cavalry troops, and the more powerful ones are the Goblin Wolf Cavalry and the Orc Boar Cavalry. One of these two cavalry is not strong enough, and the other is too slow, neither of which is suitable for fighting elves.

So from the beginning of the battle to the present, the Orc Alliance has not been able to confront the elven troops head-on, and they have been beaten by waves of arrows and lost their temper, and their battle axes and machetes are stained with the blood of their own people.

After coming and going, the Orc Alliance simply stopped chasing. They...... Guerrilla warfare also began, and when the elven troops came, they retreated, anyway, relying on the large number of people, it was expected that the elven army would not dare to chase deeply.

This tactic worked well, and the losses of the Orc Alliance were greatly reduced, and the problem was solved for the time being.

But as long as the elven army makes other moves, the orc alliance will suffer a new round of blows, and the result may be fatal.

……

North of Cartagena.

An elite army of black orcs armed to the teeth lined up in a neat battle formation, facing off against an equally heavily armed dwarven force.

No race has a level comparable to the dwarves, and the battle formation formed by the black orcs is very ordinary compared to the dwarves.

There is a saying in the world of Hess: Never attack a dwarf in formation.

The Orc Alliance should feel lucky because they are not on the attacking side.

In front of the dwarf battle array, the dwarf king of Lonely Peak, "Stone Heart" Malkem, was giving an impassioned speech:

"My bravest and most invincible warriors! Let's crush the orc stuff! Let this compatriot from the Holy Peak see the heroic appearance of our lonely peak dwarves in battle! Lopida!! ”

"Lobida !!"

Lobida is the dwarven language for Lonely Peak, with Malkem leading the charge and heavily armored dwarven warriors following.

When they charged, they all maintained a neat line, and each phalanx maintained its shape and pressed towards the black orcs, as if they were one.

Sander the Demon Hunter followed Malkaem with a smile on his face, and he had won a bet by unfair means to trick him into sending troops, although he did not regret it because of the stubborn and loyal nature of the dwarves.

After all, when war rises to the level of the world, no one can be spared, and it is appropriate to make a difference.

Orcs and dwarves are not good at magic, and there are no "bells and whistles" magic before the two sides engage, so the dwarven musket unit sends out two volleys. It's fun

The close-range shooting of the musket is extremely powerful and penetrating, and Rao is the elite of the black orcs canned heavy armor canned cans canned it, and the beaten armor pierces the person.

The two tin cans collided violently, and the giant axe and the heavy shield, the plate axe and the heavy armor, and even the heavy armor and the heavy armor collided with each other, making a deafening metal clash sound, like thunder from the ground.

The combat effectiveness of both sides...... It's almost five-five, and the dwarves with the blessing of the leader are stronger, but not much. The elite troops of the Black Orcs are worthy of being the trump card of the Orc Alliance, and if they continue to fight like this, they can really keep the Lone Peak Dwarf army out of Cartagena.

With an axe, Shande split a black orc with heavy armor into two pieces, looked around at the scorching battle situation, and muttered to himself, "It should be almost there, right?" Imperial...... But you have to hold on. ”

……

Cartagena West.

An endless sea of skeletons and zombies is slowly surging towards Cartagena.

The Prince of the Eternal Night, Vidnina, sat on top of a giant zombie mammoth, wrapped tightly in a black cloak.

She had two blood-red eyes, staring at the hot earth with a somewhat distracted gaze.

"Your Excellency!" A servant appeared in front of Vidnina in a flash, knelt down on one knee and said, "There are a large number of goblins in front of you, and their weapons and equipment seem to be cannon fodder." ”

"Kill them all." Vidnina didn't blink an eye.

"Yes!" The servants took the command and departed.

Vidnina's mouth pursed under the black veil, "I really don't know who sent the goblins to their deaths, it's stupid, I don't know how much cannon fodder on the Necronomicon Legion will only get worse and worse...... It's okay now, I can't go home right away. ”xynkj.ċöm

"Ah, it's so hot, it's going to melt. Hurry up and beat me home with something you can......"

……

Fort Hofra.

Filia caught a fish, but she couldn't avoid a general attack by the Orc Alliance.

Cyclops who can throw boulders has less range and more power than a stone thrower. Overall, it's a strengthened version of the trebuchet.

Because once they moved, it would be difficult for the trebuchets on the walls of the empire to hit.

The enemy hits a fixed target, and our side hits a moving target, and despite the range advantage, the whole is still at a disadvantage.

However, Filia gave a solution, multiple trebuchets covered a target at the same time, the accuracy was not enough to make up the number, and there was always a time to hit after a few volleys.

Fort Hofra's trebuchets are more advanced in design, with a rotating base under each trebuchet, so there is no embarrassment of not having enough angle to shoot.

It is precisely because of this that Felia's solution can take effect.

The trebuchet and the cyclops bombarded down in a few rounds, and exchanged the battle damage ratio of nearly three to two, exchanging the machine for life, and the empire made a small profit.

If the trebuchet is the farthest defense of Fort Hofra, the bed crossbow is the second farthest. It's a pity that even the strongest mocking dragon bed crossbow can't attack the cyclops, otherwise the cyclops would no longer be a threat.

Despite this, the bed crossbow is still a great weapon for defending cities, making it the best choice for attacking high-value targets, especially large ones.

Taking advantage of the time for the Cyclops and the Defender Trebuchet to swap, the bed crossbow aimed at the ladder and battering ram team that rushed to the front.

"Whoosh!"

Giant crossbow arrows with the thickness of the mouth of a teacup are fired, and just watching them fly out has a violent beauty.

A crossbow arrow hit the "waist" of a cloud ladder, only to hear a "boom", the cloud ladder was broken by the huge kinetic energy carried by the crossbow arrow!

The same scene happened to other ladders, and the battering ram was not much better, and before he could get under the city walls, he was shot into a hedgehog, and there was not one in ten.

But fortunately, the other party's city gate didn't have to be hit, and it opened by itself.

As for whether the gates would be closed again when they rushed to the gates, the orcs didn't seem to be thinking about it.

Anyway, what they saw was a girl in red armor standing alone in the city gate, guarding the gate with a sword, heroic to the extreme.

As the orcs advanced fearlessly, the third barrier of the castle's defenses, the rain of bows and crossbows, was activated.

Rushing to the forefront are still heavily armored orcs, ordinary bows and arrows are completely useless to them, and the damage that crossbow arrows can cause is also limited, and there is not much kinetic energy left to shoot through heavy armor.

After the crossbowmen had a shallow taste, they changed their target to the subsequent siege troops.

They are armed with special weapons, and their equipment is different from that of ordinary troops, and they are more light and delicate.

A few waves of arrows rained down, and it was effective, but not much, because the average strength of the siege force was actually very strong, and I am afraid that not everyone was above the junior level, and it was about the same.

Intermediate martial artists are rarely injured by ordinary arrows, and junior martial artists are not afraid of scattering if they are prepared. These siege crews were also accompanied by shieldbearers with large heavy shields in both hands, which were specially used to defend against arrows, reducing a large number of casualties.

Beyond that, it enters the attack range of the cluster magic.

In previous siege battles, countless orcs have died under the bombardment of swarm magic, for no other reason, orcs are not good at magic, nor are they good at defending against magic attacks.

On the walls of Holker City, several clouds of magical light flickered violently, and violent magical energy gathered above the heads of the orc siege troops.

In the orc formation, the front-line commander let out a roar of unknown meaning, and if Rogge was here, he would definitely feel bad.

Hearing this roar, behind the heavy shield of each shield holder, a goblin poked its head out, and except for a few unlucky ones who were shot by bows and crossbow arrows, the rest threw a purple-black stone into the sky.

The red-black stone exploded, quickly forming a layer of lilac mist above the orc's head. The fog was different from the normal poisonous fog, and there was a small cyclone at the location of each exploding stone, and the fog swirled around the cyclone at a moderate speed.

Looking down from the city wall, the direction, size, height, and speed of each cyclone are different, and at first glance it only feels chaotic, but after looking at it for a long time, there is a feeling that the whole purple mist is integrated.

But the warriors didn't look long, and the cluster magic finally finished chanting, and flames, thunder, wind, boulders, and rushing streams appeared in different locations, bursting out with the same devastating energy!
