Chapter 3 Defending the City
The source of fighting energy, which is similar to the dantian in martial arts novels, is a place where fighting qi is stored in a warrior's body, located between the chest and abdomen of the body, if someone's source of fighting qi is destroyed, then that person will lose all his fighting energy, and he can no longer fight, and the magician also has a source of magic power, in the middle of the forehead, and now Karen is the source of the fighting qi in her body is broken by the orc master with savage methods, and the fighting qi of more than 20 years of hard work up to level six was destroyed in one fell swoop.
"What a ruthless orc! Damn orc!" said one of the five saint-level masters who came out to meet Ouyang Yu, a sword saint named Fu Lun, clenched his fists and said resentfully.
Fu Lun Sword Saint's friend, and one of the five saint-level masters who came out to respond, Fa Saint Cameron patted him on the shoulder and said, "We will have to take revenge on this revenge sooner or later, we should be glad that His Majesty has come back, otherwise the consequences will ......." "What I didn't say was that as the queen of a country, she was insulted by the enemy in front of both the enemy and us, and even if she came back alive, there was only one way to commit suicide.
Saying this, all the people were happy, and they all looked at Ouyang Yu gratefully, Cameron made a ritual between magicians to Ouyang Yu and asked, "This ...... Master, thank you for saving His Majesty Karen and not asking for your name yet. "Ouyang Yu can use magic, but he is wearing a gorgeous armor, Cameron didn't know what to call it, so he paused.
Ouyang Yu waved his right hand and replied, "You're welcome, everyone is human, and saving Karen is also what I should do, as for my name, ......." β
"Her name is Catherine Victor. Karen, who had lost his fighting spirit, was weak and injured, and was carried by Ouyang Yu just now and fainted. Now that she woke up, Ouyang Yu's words revealed her identity.
"Catherine, Moon, Victor?!So you're not dead!" all of them, including the five Saint-level masters, took a step back in surprise.
Since the tomb of Ristius IV collapsed more than a year ago, news of Ouyang Yu's death had been reported by the Dark Council. Then take the opportunity to infiltrate the Kadesh Kingdom, which no one believed in the first place. But as time passed, Ouyang Yu never appeared in front of people, and the high-level leaders of the Kadesh Kingdom did not see her appear, and slowly Ouyang Yu's death began to be accepted, and many people were lamenting the fall of a genius, and more people were cheering to celebrate her death.
Now that a person who has been dead for more than a year or almost two years suddenly appears, even a saint-level master who is extremely good in his heart will inevitably not be able to accept it.
Ouyang Yu squatted down and put his right hand on Karen's body, and the two healing injuries were released, and all the scars on her body disappeared. But the damaged source of Dou Qi was not repaired, and then helped her to slowly stand up and said, "I'm sorry, I can't cure your source of Dou Qi for the time being." β
"You don't have to say I'm sorry, but I should say thank you to you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the face to live in this world. Karen looked at Ouyang Yu gratefully.
"Alright, let's not thank you here, Karen needs to rest, and you need to continue to be vigilant against the attacks of the orcs. If there is anything we can say later. Foran said loudly.
Hearing his mention, everyone nodded, and since there were no other women present, Ouyang Yu could only pick up Karen again and fly towards the accommodation area behind the fortress, Ouyang Yu's left hand passed through Karen's back. Holding her legs with her right hand, she flew slowly with Cullen in a princess position, and her left hand inadvertently touched the edge of her left breast. Karen, who had almost been raped, was now very sensitive to this feeling, and Ouyang Yu was also a well-known lace edging on the mainland. This made Karen feel very embarrassed, but he just looked at Ouyang Yu's serious appearance. It should have been that he didn't realize that he had touched a place that he shouldn't touch, and Karen didn't want to remind him, so he had to blush, hugging Ouyang Yu's neck and burying his head on her twin peaks, smelling the faint smell of lilies on her body, Karen put down his worries, anxieties and fears for a while, and fell asleep leaning on Ouyang Yu's body.
Ouyang Yu, who was flying, found that the person in his arms was asleep, and slowed down the already slow speed again, and flew for more than ten minutes before flying to the room arranged for Karen, gently put Karen on the bed, covered the quilt, and walked out of the room lightly and said to the people outside: "Your Majesty is asleep, let's go over there to talk." β
The supreme commander of the fortress, Gru, the council supervisor, and the generals of other countries all rushed to Karen's room, and when they heard Ouyang Yu's words, they all obediently walked out, including the young inspector, on the way, he had already inquired about who saved Karen, and he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Ouyang Yu.
Walking aside with everyone, Ouyang Yu asked them, "You have something to do with me?"
The group looked at each other, and finally asked the Supreme Commander Gru to come forward and say, "Yes, Your Highness, we do have something to ask you for. β
"Is it to help you defend the fortress?" Ouyang Yu guessed what they wanted to say.
"Yes, would you like to?"
"I refuse, I haven't been in the Kadesh Kingdom for almost two years, and now it's another situation, I'm worried that something will happen to the Kingdom, so I'm going to leave for the Kadesh Kingdom later. β
After hearing Ouyang Yu say that he refused because he was worried about the current situation of the Kadesh Kingdom, Gru smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Grand Duke doesn't need to worry, a month ago, the Continental Council held a meeting to determine the war zone and regular contact time, and in the contact report a week ago, I saw that your Kadesh Kingdom is still very safe at present, and your country has sent 50,000 troops and the Turani Kingdom, The army of the Valhalla Empire, a total of 300,000 troops, is fighting against the forest elves in the territory of the Turani Kingdom, and we don't need His Highness to stay for a long time, just two days, and in two days, your brother, His Royal Highness the Holy Son Andy, will lead reinforcements to the fortress, and you can also meet him at that time, I think Your Highness Andy will be very happy to see that you are still alive. β
"Well, he'd be disappointed to see that I'm still alive. β
Everyone didn't dare to take Ouyang Yu's words, the grievances between the two brothers and sisters. is a household name on the mainland, and his sister and brother rob their wives. actually won and successfully snatched his sister-in-law. The two have lived happily ever after, which has become a laughing stock for Andy.
"Is it only two days? Okay, I agreed!" Ouyang Yu also wanted to see his undead army and the regular army of the orcs compete on the frontal battlefield, and the outcome of the victory or defeat would affect her future arrangements.
Hearing Ouyang Yu agreed, Gru and the others were very happy, this not only meant that a super master had joined, but also received direct support from a large army, Ouyang Yu's undead army was also quite famous in combat power on the mainland, and the saint-level combat power of the orcs had been suppressing the human side, and the previous defeat and lack of high-end combat power also had a certain relationship.
The day was fine. The next day, just after dawn, there was the sound of the horn of getting up from the orc camp, and when the sun came out, the orc army had already eaten breakfast and began to assemble, and the same was true on the fortress side, and the soldiers who had finished breakfast had already stood on the fortress under the leadership of the commanders.
"Knock knock......! Woo......!"
After the trumpets and drums sounded in unison, and after an hour of "rapid" assembly, the army of 120,000 orcs drove out of the camp and came in a not very neat queue to a place about a kilometer from the fortress.
The orc commander Jon Benrest rode on a Krodo beast and waved his hand, 30,000 of the 120,000 troops, pushing various siege engines and began to slowly advance towards the fortress.
On the castle tower of the fortress, Ouyang Yu, who is still the royal sister version, has replaced the golden armor that is shining and eye-catching, and put on the one that looks not so high-profile from a distance. Up close, it was still gorgeous and excessively cursed armor, and she looked at the approaching orc vanguard below with a heavy face.
"Shield carts, ladders, well fences, ballistas, catapults, why do our human siege equipment appear in the orc army? Those instruments are obviously not made by brainless beasts!!!" Ouyang Yu angrily pointed to the orc vanguard below and asked.
"Your Highness, based on the intercepted intelligence and the report of our secret agents. These are all secretly sold to orcs by the Dark Council in recent years, and my spies have also heard that this large-scale invasion of orcs and elves also has a lot to do with the group of rats in the Dark Council. Commander Gru explained to Ouyang Yu.
Just as the two were talking. The orc vanguard below had reached the attack position, and the ballista and catapult began to prepare for the attack. The orc soldiers in the front row set up their shield carts, and the orc soldiers in the back two rows also picked up heavy shields the size of door panels to cover the archers behind.
"Woo......!"
The horn representing the offensive was sounded. After receiving the order to attack, the 500 ballista and 200 catapult soldiers operated by the orcs almost simultaneously pulled down the levers of these killing weapons, and 200 stones the size of grinding discs, 500 arrows the size of fists made of fine iron, followed by crossbow arrows with the thickness of an adult's arm and a meter and 2, whizzed towards the fortress.
"Knock knock...... Dingdingding...... Yes...... Ahhhh......h Ah......h
The sound of stones crashing against the fortress, thick crossbow arrows piercing the stone walls of the fortress, and the screams of the impaled human soldiers mingled to a terrible siege.
Angel Moon Fortress is an ancient fortress, there are not many defenders at all in peacetime, Higra's long-term war danger has also come from the southwest of Vigel and the northeast of the Imperial Titan, this is located in the pressure-free northern fortress has not been completely repaired, all kinds of defense equipment is very lacking, in the face of the orc weapon attack there is no equipment to fight back, human soldiers can only hide behind the city wall and pray that it is not themselves who are hit, although the orc's stone throwing and crossbow arrows are very poor, and the number is not much, but such a unilateral beating still makes the morale that has finally recovered a little bit drop againγ
Seeing this situation, Ouyang Yu shook her head and was about to make a move, she said to Gru: "Pass the order, let the soldiers wait and not attack my undead." β
"Yes, yes!" Although he didn't quite understand how Ouyang Yu wanted to support, Gru still passed down the order as soon as possible, although the human soldiers didn't know why there were undead, but as long as reinforcements appeared, even if it was an undead, it was better than being killed by an orc.
Ouyang Yu waited for the order to be conveyed to each human soldier, his hands were raised slightly, and he didn't see her make any movements, and fifty catapults and three hundred ballistas and related ammunition suddenly appeared on the city wall, and these instruments were all operated by skeleton soldiers. The human soldiers were already prepared, but they were still frightened by the sudden appearance of the machines and skeletons, and fortunately, all the soldiers on the city walls were suppressed. Not a single one of them overreacted and jumped up to attack the skeletons.
In the game, a hero can only buy one ballista and a catapult, but that's just the game. Ouyang Yu bought these equipment just in case he had the idea that he might use it one day, but he didn't expect to use it for the first time, not to attack the city, but to help defend the city.
The skeletons moved quickly, and as soon as they came out, they began to prepare for launch, and it was only half a minute from preparation to launch, and then Ouyang Yu gave the order to launch, and fifty catapults and three hundred ballistas condescendingly launched an attack on the orc catapults and ballistas that were constantly firing.
"Hoohoohoo......!" Fifty stones and three hundred crossbow arrows fell into the orc siege equipment, killing hundreds of orc soldiers who were operating, destroying eight catapults and twenty-one ballistas, and the sudden blow made the operating orc soldiers stunned. Then he immediately accelerated the launch procedure to counterattack, and the two sides were not lively, but although the number of orcs was large, it gradually fell into disadvantage.
The stones and crossbow arrows that were thrown from the high fortress were not only powerful and long-range, but the city wall obstructed the orcs' line of sight, and they could only shoot the stones and crossbow arrows in the general direction of the counterattack, while the city wall could see where the orcs were and the trajectory deviation at a glance, so it was normal for the orcs to fall into the downwind.
Jon Benrest frowned. According to the information provided by the Dark Council, the Angel Moon Fortress should not have such a device, and it will take two days for human reinforcements to arrive, so where did the equipment on the fortress come from? "Whether to scold the defenders or the Dark Council is unknown.
"Don't wait any longer for a long-range strike, start the siege now. "Jon Benrest's herald sent the order to the Vanguard Commander. Then the 30,000 orc vanguard began to advance slowly towards the fortress.
"Archers prepare!" Gru, who had been observing the battle, immediately ordered, and the human archers had to risk being hit by rocks and crossbow arrows to their feet, draw their arrows and prepare to shoot.
"Seven hundred meters...... 500 meters...... 300 meters...... One hundred meters. Archer, shoot!"
"Huh!"
A black rain of arrows rose from the fortress and flew towards the orcs under the force of gravity.
"Ding Ding Dong...... Ding Ding Dong ......!"
The orcs' shield carts and giant shields blocked most of the arrows. However, there are still a lot of arrows that come in from dead corners or gaps, killing and injuring many orcs. But these casualties are nothing compared to the whole.
"The archers returned fire, suppressed the fire of the fortress, and the infantry charged forward!"
Orc archers began to fight back under the protection of shield carts and giant shields, because the bows used by orcs were far heavier than those used by humans, and the arrows fired were longer and more powerful, so orc archers did not need to brave the rain of arrows to continue to advance, and they could get the same range as the human defenders of the fortress.
"Whoosh ......!"
"Ah...... Ahh......hhh Ahhh......h
A large number of human archers were shot down, the dead and wounded were dragged off the walls by their comrades, new archers joined the ranks of their fallen comrades to continue shooting, and human heavy infantry with large shields stood in front of the archers to block their arrows.
At this time, the orc infantry like a green tide also ran a distance of only 100 meters, reached the fortress, set up the ladder to the city wall more than 20 meters high, and then climbed hard like ants climbing trees.
"Throw the javelins! Burn these ladders with fire oil!"
At the order of the commander, the human soldiers picked up the short javelin placed on the side of the city wall and leaned out half of their bodies and threw it downward, the head of this short javelin has a good armor-piercing ability, even heavy armor can pierce it, even if the orc soldier is stabbed, he will lose his combat effectiveness, and fall down the ladder with a scream.
Others took out clay pots containing black pungent liquid from a safe place, lit them with torches and threw them downward, whether the clay pots were smashed into the orc soldiers or fell to the ground, a large flame would ignite, and the flames burned with that black liquid could not be extinguished with water, and it was a great weapon for humans to deal with orcs with fur.
A large flame burned under the walls of the fortress, almost in front of the wall of fire, the burning orc soldiers screamed repeatedly, and most of the ladders were also burned and could not be climbed, but these were all expected by Jon Benrest, he nodded to the legendary priest beside him, and the legendary priest Wren Bloodhoof, who had a bull's head and a pair of curved horns on his head, nodded in response, and then left the orc army and led a thousand totem sacrifices towards the fortress.
"Oh no, the orc sacrifices are ready to join the battle, but unfortunately our mages were almost all captured in the previous battle, and there are less than twenty left, how should we deal with those sacrifices? Master Cameron, can you find a way to contain those sacrifices?" Gru said anxiously to the French Saint Cameron who was watching the battle beside him.
"Hehehe...... General, you're looking for the wrong person, my old bones can't deal with these thousands of totem sacrifices, but there is someone who can, why don't you go to her?" Cameron stroked his long white beard and joked lightly.
"You mean ......?"
"He's talking about me. Ouyang Yu stood up and said. (To be continued......)
