Due to the superiority of the orcs' strength, the orc's reconnaissance force even appeared near Fort Nit, which surprised the city guards stationed at Fort Nit.

Fort Nit is about a hundred kilometers away from Station 10, and the Orcs attack this time can be described as the overwhelming of Mount Tai.

The aerial scouts led by Haaland can see a dense army of orcs when they fly a few kilometers. The total number of orc auxiliaries maintaining the logistical line on the north bank of the Samba River is estimated to be close to one million.

Looking at the orc army encamped two kilometers away from Station 10, Richard very decisively let the artillery unit open fire and attack. In fact, the orcs had already entered the range of the magic crystal cannon a few hours earlier, and the reason why Richard waited for the orcs to set up camp and then opened fire was to set a trap for the orcs and kill and injure the orc soldiers to the greatest extent.

The eighteen magic crystal cannons were launched in an instant, and the cannonballs accurately hit the orc camp.

The cannonballs used in the Crystal Cannon are all heavy alchemy bombs, and the explosion power of a single cannonball is a few points more powerful than that of standard magic fireballs. In addition, the killing range of artillery shrapnel is also very large, and it can be said that it is the nemesis of dense crowds.

The orc army is more than 100,000, and the joint camp is dozens of miles, and the cannonballs can fall into the orc camp at will. Moreover, compared to trebuchets, the magic crystal cannon is more accurate.

As the magic crystal cannon continued to fire, in less than an hour, thirty rounds were fired. More than five hundred and forty large alchemy bombs hit the orc camp, and before the siege began, the orc losses had already exceeded two thousand.

Normally, the orc army will generally camp two or three kilometers away from the city, and some bold orc commanders will even camp a few hundred meters away from the city to facilitate the orc army to attack the city.

At a distance of two or three kilometers, it is already far beyond the range of human strikes.

The orc high-level never expected that in less than a year, the Duke of Harland would invent a new weapon, and after seeing the power of this magic weapon with their own eyes, some smart officers among the orcs immediately knew that this new magic weapon was enough to change the mode of war.

The orcs had planned to besiege the city first, assemble heavy trebuchets, and prepare for an attack, but in the current situation, they could only be beaten and unable to fight back. It takes a day or two to assemble the trebuchet, and the orcs have only a few ranged attack classes, so they can't fight the magic crystal cannon at all.

Haaland led the army to manage the northern defense line of the Eagle Mountains for two years, hoarding a large amount of armament and baggage, and 12,000 cannonballs and 30,000 alchemy bombs were stored in Castle 10 alone.

There is also an alchemy shell making workshop in the No. 10 station, which can make sixty shells per day, which is a great addition to the front line.

The loss of 2,000 people is very small for an army of more than 100,000, but the current situation that they can only be beaten and unable to fight back makes the orc commander extremely headache.

If the situation cannot be improved, the orc army will be directly destroyed by the eighteen alchemy cannons.

There are only two options in the current situation, either retreat immediately or attack immediately.

If you are not ready to attack the city, attacking the enemy's strong fortress is equivalent to consuming soldiers, and even if the orcs are outnumbered, they can only lose their lives in vain.

As a last resort, the orcs had no choice but to abandon the repaired camp and prepare to retreat backwards, withdrawing the range of the magic crystal cannon.

Retreating on the battlefield is a great science, especially for an army of more than 100,000 people, the difficulty of organizing a retreat is far higher than that of an attack.

No sooner had the orcs decided to retreat than they were thrown into chaos.

Seeing the appearance of the fighters, despite the large difference in the strength of the two sides, Richard left 3,000 soldiers to defend the city, and personally launched a fierce attack with 12,000 defenders from the 10th station.

Seeing Richard leading his troops out of the city, although his side showed his defeat, the two legends of the legendary Jackal and Merlonla hidden among the ordinary orcs were extremely happy.

No matter how much ordinary orcs lose, as long as they can successfully seize the opportunity to kill Richard, their strategic goal can be achieved. If you master a legendary fourth-order magic item, you can even determine the strategic balance of a governorship.

"If I can get the legendary fourth-order magic items, my status in the royal court will be greatly increased, and I can even compete for the highest position."

Thinking of this, Merlonla was also a little excited in her heart.

As long as Richard unleashes the Starlight Bomb in the middle of the war, once the mana is seriously depleted, the fighter will come to Merlonla and the legendary Gnoll.

After all, according to the ninth-order giant, the power of the Starlight Bomb is too terrifying, even if Meronla has a legendary first-order magic item of a defensive nature, if it is a head-on resistance to the Starlight Bomb, it may not be able to save her life.

For the orcs, the key to this battle is to surprise and make the attack of the orc legend sudden.

So Meronla and the legendary gnolls are hidden in the ordinary orc brigade.

Melonla was hiding in the Ninth Brigade of the Orc Forty-Eighth Legion, where she was organizing her troops and preparing to withdraw. The legendary gnolls are hiding in the 4th Brigade of the 129th Orc Legion, which has been hit many times by the magic crystal cannon and is about to collapse.

The commander on the surface of this attack is still the ninth-order giant, and the ninth-order giant lord ordered the commander of the orc thirteenth legion to assume the heavy responsibility of the broken future.

Seeing that Richard led the Warcraft cavalry to charge, the commander of the giant lord hurriedly mobilized the most elite first infantry of the Thirteenth Legion to form a large formation to resist the Warcraft cavalry.

This brigade, like the first brigade of the infantry led by Haraland, was the backbone of the orc aces, and the number of professional officers in one brigade exceeded 800.

Seeing that the orc elite soldiers were blocking the front, Richard decisively released the starlight bomb, and a starlight fell into the orc army formation, directly destroying the broken orc elite brigade.

Defeated the first brigade of the thirteenth army of orcs, and then Richard led the second brigade of the beast cavalry to launch a fierce charge, and defeated an orc brigade on the flank before the decisive battle of the infantry, and before the two armies broke out into a full-scale battle, the thirteenth army lost two brigades, with more than 3,000 casualties.

At the same time, the magic crystal cannon above the No. 10 soldier station also began to attack the retreating orcs, and the cannons continued to fire, and the fierce artillery fire caused heavy losses to the orcs who were preparing to retreat.

Seeing that the combat effectiveness of the army led by Haaland was so brave, the commander of the thirteenth legion of the orcs hurriedly dispatched a serpent brigade to protect his back road and block the demon cavalry.

After seeing the Demon Crystal Cannon at the head of the city, the orc legion leader immediately understood that this weapon must be the nemesis of the snake body brigade with average moving speed.

After equipping a large number of magic crystal cannons, although the snake body is strong in combat, it will inevitably be an eliminated class.

The Serpent Brigade turned around and prepared to block the Monster Cavalry. Richard didn't plan to let the Warcraft cavalry fight with the Snake Cavalry, if it was hand-to-hand combat with the Snake Brigade, the loss of the Monster Cavalry would definitely be not light.

Richard commanded the second brigade of the Warcraft cavalry to turn the horse's head and bypass the snakes who were in the way. Slip through the gap between the two orcs, ready to find another chance to attack the enemy.

The Snake Man is not good at long-range projection, and although the second brigade of the Demon Beast Cavalry led by Haaland exposed the flanks, the Snake Man Heavy Infantry could not seize the opportunity. If the weakness of the half-orc archers was exposed, the second team of the Warcraft cavalry just now would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

The Warcraft cavalry bypassed the Snake Body, and the first brigade led by Haaland, who was in the second echelon of the attack, did not hesitate to launch a fierce attack on the Snake Body.

The first to strike was the magician who accompanied the infantry in battle, and Sophia immediately opened the starlight bottle, releasing eighteen steel golems, and under the manipulation of the magician, fiercely crashed into the snake body army formation.

The Iron Golem has rough skin and thick flesh, and its hand-to-hand combat power is a few points more powerful than that of the ninth-order knights, although the number of eighteen steel golems is not much, but the impact power is already very amazing.

The Serpent Brigade only had 400 soldiers, and the military formation was not thick, and it was rushed by eighteen steel golems, and the casualties were not light.

The Iron Golem had just crashed into the Snake Body Array, and the blows of the Burst Arrow and the Alchemy Bomb suddenly came, and Haaland led the first team of sharpshooters to more than 100 people, all of whom were equipped with fourth-order burst arrows, plus a few hundred meters of grenadiers to attack.

Although the Burst Arrow and Alchemy Bomb are very powerful, it is difficult to cause damage to the Iron Golem, but when they hit the snake man, they will be killed and injured in an instant.

After a round of onslaught, the Serpent Brigade had suffered more than half of the casualties, and was almost destroyed.

Because of the speed of the charge, the long-range strike lasted only one round, and the first squadron, which acted as the attack arrow, did not hesitate to follow the Iron Golem to launch a fierce attack on the snake from the front.

In an instant, the Snake Corps could not support it.

The Thirteenth Legion is the first trump card of the Grassland Governorate, and this orc legion has strengthened three all-professional elite soldiers, in addition to the snake body brigade, there is also a half-orc brigade, and the Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry Brigade. In addition, the first brigade of this legion is also very strong in combat.

This legion has an all-professional army of five or six thousand men, which is almost the strongest in the Governor of the Prairie District.

Although the Steppe Governorate has trained sixty-eight legions, it is at the top of the number, and the combat effectiveness is similar to that of the thirteenth legion, which is only three legions. Among them, the 17th Legion has been surrounded and annihilated by the Harland Command, the 19th Legion is deployed in the Filipe Heights to fight against the elite of the Ryan Kingdom, and the 27th Legion guards the core of the Prairie Governorate.

The successive transfer of two powerful legions to the Eastern Front to fight against the Harland Territory is enough to show that the Harland Territory has become a problem in the Steppe Governorate.

Unless you can completely hurt the orcs in this battle, you don't know how many years the war will last.

The 13th Legion, the first ace of the Prairie Governor's District, did not fight with the Harland army for a long time, and the losses were already very heavy, the first brigade was destroyed by the starlight bomb, the sixth brigade was attacked by the Harland Monster cavalry, and fell into a rout, and the snake brigade was sandwiched by the steel golem and the first brigade led by Haraland, and was slaughtered in a short time.

Without the Snake Man Brigade, the Seventh Orc Brigade bore the brunt, facing the Harland Leader First Brigade who had strengthened the Mage Regiment, this ordinary orc brigade could not be stopped at all, and in an instant, it was already in a dilemma of about to collapse.

Seeing this scene, the eighth-order silver wolf, the deputy commander of the thirteenth legion, gritted his teeth and led the silver moon wolf cavalry to launch a fierce charge, hoping to attack the flank of the first brigade led by Haaland and contain the enemy.

Seeing that the Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry jumped out, Richard released the second starlight bomb very decisively, and a starlight fell into the attack route of the Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry, although the Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry formation was scattered, and more than half of them died. Even the silver wolf of the eighth order was unlucky and died on the spot

Seeing that the Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry was destroyed by the Starlight Bomb, Richard immediately led the Second Brigade of the Warcraft Cavalry to harvest the heads, and was caught off guard, and only a few of the remaining Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry escaped.

Seeing the power of the Starlight Bomb twice, both the legendary Gnoll and Mellon La had a strong shock on their faces.

According to the information obtained by the ninth-order giant, Richard can release three starlight bombs in a single battle, and the legendary gnolls and Meronla have a tacit understanding and decide to wait for a while. Wait for Richard to run out of mana before launching a surprise attack.

The Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry was annihilated by the army led by Haaland, and the fate of the seventh team of orcs was already doomed, and it was defeated by the first brigade led by Haaland in a short time.

At this moment, five brigades of the orc army have collapsed after the break, and three of them are still orc strongmen.

The battle had reached this point, and the follow-up troops led by Haaland had already caught up with them, fighting with the orcs after the break.

The last elite half-orc brigade of the Thirteenth Orc Legion also attacked, and countless strong bows and arrows were fired at the first brigade of soldiers.

The half-orcs are powerful and specialize in archery, and among the more than 2,000 soldiers in this brigade, there are more than 1,000 of them who have an archery level above the third order. With excellent archery skills and great strength, the attack power of the orc archers is very amazing.

Seeing the rain of arrows coming, the officers of the first brigade raised their force field shields, and the magicians also released the second ring of magic protective arrows, propping up the magic shield to protect the nearby soldiers.

Although the soldiers of the first brigade were well-equipped, they still suffered more than 100 injuries under the blow of this round of arrow rain. Even if the soldiers of the first brigade have learned the breathing method, but the strength of the fighting spirit is not enough, they cannot support the standing shield, and the ordinary iron shield cannot stop the strong bow and crossbow of the half-orcs, even if they wear iron armor, as long as they are shot by the half-orcs, they will basically be seriously injured and lose their lives.

Seeing that the orc archers were so lethal, Sophia, who commanded the first team to fight, immediately sent the Iron Golem out, only to see that the Iron Golem bloomed with rays of light, and the speed increased several times in an instant, and in an instant, the kung fu appeared near the half-orc team.

Despite its large size, the Iron Golem is also very heavy, and its movement speed is not very fast under normal conditions, although it is faster than the Serpent Brigade and ordinary infantry, and it cannot catch up with the elite soldiers of all professions. However, this high-level magic creation, with the four rings of magic engraved on its inside, can make up for its shortcomings to a large extent.

After using this magic, the Iron Golem burst out at a speed no less than that of the Warcraft Cavalry running at full speed.

Seeing that the steel golem was about to break into the half-orc army formation, more than a dozen strong men suddenly rushed out of the orcs. These orcs are all high-level professionals, and they are of different races. More than a dozen orc powerhouses made a move and stopped most of the steel golems, and only a few rushed into the formation of the half-orc brigade, powerless to disrupt the formation of the half-orc brigade.
