Section 62 Breaking the city
The Bloodflag Boss soon returned to the middle of the Greenskins. Witnessing the fight just now, watching the boss cut off the head of this mysterious and powerful creature, all the boys were full of confidence one by one, and couldn't wait to have a fight. This time, the Blood Banner Boss was very happy to meet the boys' requirements.
"Tarus, take your boy to get ready, and give me the lead!
"Call a few shamans and use your magic to fly those cannons!"
The Blood Banner Boss gave orders in an orderly manner. The greenskins quickly adjusted their formation, ready to launch the most rearly onslaught.
"Boss, this is for you. Grabb came up just in time and picked up the Blood Banner Boss's staff. This time the Blood Banner Boss did not refuse, he put the Boss Staff on his back and stuck the angel's head on it.
Karl felt fear for the first time in the city. He knew that the morale of the whole army had fallen to the bottom when he saw the angel being killed. The destruction of the holy angels in full view of the public is tantamount to destroying people's confidence and courage to fight. He angrily slammed the artifact in his hand on the city wall, smashing the inducing radio wave emitting device that was not particularly well assembled and directly disintegrated - it was all the fault of this defective product! Although he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, he knew that Lu Dao's killer move not only did not work, but misled him into this point of no return.
What to do? What to do? What to do? If only those heavy fire scrolls were still there...... While Carl was at a loss, the Greenskins had already lined up to attack. And the green-skinned shaman unceremoniously threw a bunch of curses on the heads of the artillerymen directly ahead. If the cannon is loaded with solid shells at the moment, the cannon will immediately regain color, and if the cannon is placed at the head of the city, it can even fire before magic. At this moment, the barrels of the cannons were filled with shotshots with a relatively close range, and they had no chance to place the cannons on the top of the city again.
The magic soon took effect, and under the influence of the magic, the artillerymen were completely confused. More than one artilleryman, in a state of insanity, lit the fire door or simply pointed the muzzle of the gun into the sky.
"What are you doing??! Carl suddenly realized that the mages around him still hadn't reacted. When is this group of idiots still standing here stupidly?
"Archbishop...... "These people who are both magicians and priests look at each other. The archbishop has never given an order, how can they do it privately?
"Use magic, attack those greenskins right now! Isn't the wind of magic right now just the right spell to destroy?"
Carl had lost his usual sanity. Although the wind of magic is a good time to attack magic, it really isn't a good time to use magic. The true meaning of magic on the battlefield is to kill and interrupt. The Greenskins were still far away, and the attack could only hit their first line of skirmishers. The six Arch/Mages teamed up to destroy a wave of Greenskin's offensive and buy valuable time for the rest of their forces to regroup and recover.
But the archbishop's order was carried out anyway. The Great/Mages embraced the wind of magic, instantly channeling a powerful amount of destructive power.
Magic erupted in the Greenskins, killing hundreds of Greenskins with a single blow. Watching the greenskins turn to scum under magic, Carl felt a brief and illusory thrill of victory. Then, he saw thousands of black orcs lined up in dense formation, taking advantage of the brief moment of weakness that would inevitably result in the use of large-scale magic by humans, and launched a charge. If the Great/Mage hadn't wasted their magic on the attack just now, then this was the right moment to crush this wave of attacking troops.
Karl immediately turned around and rushed down the wall. "Rush up and block the gates!" he commanded the army. Then turn to one of his lieutenants. "You take command in my place!" After a brief explanation, he immediately left the front line and hurried away in the direction of the Great City Temple.
The city was eerily quiet. Since most of the non-combatants have been evacuated, and the combatants are almost on the front line, the streets of the city are empty. Carl was left alone, and it took little effort to return to the Grand Temple. There were still a few guards on duty, but Karl wasted no time in hiding his whereabouts. He didn't even glance at the guards and went straight back to his own mansion.
Although the building is the Archbishop's residence, it appears to be an ordinary house, usually guarded by only a veteran. Everyone knows that the archbishop is rarely in his house. And if a curious thief did get inside, he would find that there was nothing worth touching inside. One even wondered why Archbishop Karl would have chosen this place as his home.
But there is a reason why it became the residence of the archbishop. Carl strode into his bedroom, which still smelled of the lascivious revelry of the women of last night, but he had no intention of having fun at the moment. Fear haunted his face, causing him to open the door to his chamber as fast as he could. The door was equipped with a lock that surpassed the common sense of this world, which was enough to make the most exquisite locksmith in this world jaw-dropping.
Karl immediately activated one of the devices in the chamber, and a hazy light and shadow appeared in the air.
"Ylan-ylang!" Karl shouted. But the light and shadow were still hazy, and it was impossible to see the scene inside.
"Damn! This bitch isn't here at this critical moment! By the way, there's this ...... This one...... Emergency Communications ...... Emergency communications ...... Carl picked up a small box-like thing from the side. Press firmly on one of the buttons.
"Hurry up, Ylan, please...... Feel it soon......" he prayed in a voice that almost cried. In the distance, the roar of the greenskin could already be heard. He knew that the green skin was approaching. And he didn't have to think about it to know what would happen if he fell into the hands of Aerufat.
It's like a century. But at the end of the day, a clear image finally flashed in the hazy light and shadow. That image is the figure of a woman.
"Ylan-ylang!" Karl shouted.
"What's going on, Carl?, I told you not to use that emergency communication ......," Ylan-Isan still had that disdainful expression. But at this moment, Carl didn't mind her contemptuous and mean look.
"Yilan, something is wrong! my city ...... My city is about to be breached!"
Ylan blinked, unable to understand what Carl meant for a moment.
"Ashrufat...... That vampire...... Led the Greenskins to break through my city!'s coming!" Karl quickly explained.
"I remember the last time you told me you could do it all......"
"Oh, Ylan-Ylang, now really isn't the time to settle these old scores! Now that Wendinie has been knocked down, the inducing radio wave transmitter is useless! They're coming! My city, our antimatter engine, and myself...... It's all over! Hurry up and find a way! Hurry up and find a way to save me!"
Ylan-Ylang was stunned for a few seconds, then a smile suddenly appeared on his face, making Carl shudder.
"How do you tell me to save you?" asked Ylan. "Okay, I'm going to apply for access to the Intra-Atmosphere Vehicle. You should be able to arrive in four hours...... Tell your men to move the antimatter engine to the ground so we can move it!"
"I can't even last an hour!And where did I get someone to pull that thing to the ground now!" Carl clenched his fists, trying to keep it from exploding.
"Yes, but what can I do? I really don't have much to do in this situation. There is no excuse to carry the antimatter engine, how can I bring you back? You should remember the order of the committee. ”
"Shut up, Yilan! Don't fool people with these official articles! Don't think that you can be proud if I'm dead! Without me, what can you do to control the church!"
"Do you think this you piece of waste can threaten me?" This time, the smile on Ilan's face faded and became colder than ice. "You are a waste who has no strength, no skills, and no knowledge, and you dare to threaten me? Do you think that without you, I will not be able to do anything? Do you think that you are very important, and that you are taking on a duty that no one can replace? Do you think that I don't know what you are doing here? Do you have any other role than using your private life to discredit the reputation of the church? Not to mention that I wanted you to disappear a long time ago, even if I wanted to save you?!"
"If you have a little bit of brains, how can you be like this today? So I suggest you take your responsibilities like a man. Let's say solve a problem with that thing behind you. ”
Karl turned his head, only to see a curved sword hanging on the wall as a decoration.
He turned his head to find that Ylan had cut off the communication.
On a hill quite far from the city. Several figures on horseback looked carefully at the city of Oren in the distance. There weren't many sentry posts on the periphery of the greenskin's camp, and they were all engaged in siege warfare. So they can safely observe the battle from this position.
At this moment, smoke is rising in the city. As long as you have a little military knowledge, you will know that the city of Oren has fallen.
This result was not particularly surprising, as it was known that the main forces of Oron had been wiped out in the previous battle. Although the city is unusually strong and difficult to defend, no matter how strong the fortifications, if the defenders are not numerous, there is nothing to fear.
A shadow appeared in the sky, and then a falcon could be clearly seen hovering over their heads, long gone.
The rider in the lead let out a screech into the sky. It seemed to be a signal, as the eagle began to descend, and at last fell on his arm.
There was a letter hanging from the eagle's feet. The rider takes it off, then quickly unfolds it and begins to read.
“...... The siege has been going on for a long time. Today Archbishop Karl is once again in front of the people...... The archbishop propagandizes that he has an artifact in his hands that can turn the tide...... The city is rife with rumors that it is a vampire who commands the Greenskins...... But the people of the church remained silent and refused to explain...... There is news that the Greenskins may build a raft and launch an attack through the bridge...... But the army did not make any arrangements for this situation. Personally, I can't understand the arrogance of those people in this situation. Didn't they notice the cunning of these greenskins, and it would be dangerous if the greenskins did launch an attack from the bridge......
“...... The front says that the archbishop has fled the battlefield. After losing their command, the soldiers were suddenly leaderless, and there was chaos. And the greenskins already have an advantage in numbers and morale...... The army barely resisted for a while, and was quickly routed...... To make matters worse, during the retreat, we learned that the other side of the road had also been breached...... The city is finished......"
There is a small line of print below the letter. "I can't keep writing, adults, I have to find a place to hide. ”
