Chapter 237: The Battle of the Siege (Part II)
The half-beast general in mid-air on the opposite side also seemed to have discovered that Murong Yu, a small group of talents, was the strongest combat power of the human race, of course, not the seven Murong Yu, but a few people behind Lord Agaso, all of them were saint-level existences, full of six saint-level. Although the Half-Beast General had a full ten holy beasts under his command, the half-beast general obviously had no intention of asking the holy beasts to fight immediately.
The existence of the Holy Demon Guide in the human race, especially the Heavenly Saint Empire, which started as a magician, and the existence of the Wizard Guild, make the Holy Demon Guide in the human camp superior. The combat power of a Holy Demon Guide may be one as three, or even more powerful, once the Holy Demon Guide understands the forbidden spell, then it will be a very terrifying existence.
The magician's perception of the law is also very terrifying, and the orcs in this regard, although their physical strength has been improved, their magic perception has decreased a lot. If you don't have a deep understanding of the mysteries of fighting spirit and the laws of magic, then you can only be at the bottom of the holy level, and the half-beast general obviously knows that his side seems to have the advantage in numbers, and if it really starts, it is not yet known who will die.
The main purpose of these holy beasts he brought was to contain the human saint level, not to attack the city, the most important thing was to order the Lord Liduo when he left, their main task was to consume the strength of the Heavenly Saint Empire, and the real decisive battle had not yet come.
As the spear in the half-beast general's hand pointed, the giant war drum "Dong Dong" of the Chinese army's big tent slowly accelerated, and the silent half-orc army began to slowly move forward.
The loud drums of "knock ......" opened the prelude to the attack.
"Roar, roar, roar!" The roar of the orcs resounded throughout the land, mingled with the screams of the hordes of demonic beasts, making the entire northern slope of Erath City tremble. Murong Yu and the others, who were standing on the city wall, felt that such a heavy city wall was also resonating slightly.
The Half-Orc Legion had advanced to a sufficient offensive distance, and at the foot of the entire mountain, the neat and neat Warcraft Legion began to launch the first wave of powerful offensive amid the rumbling drums. The entire hillside stretched endlessly, like a swarm of man-eating ants, the Monster Legion began a frantic attack. The first thing the defenders fired was a large stone thrower, huge stones fell from the sky, and the rolling boulders hit the mountain slopes in rows like raindrops under the acceleration, because it was condescending, the distance of the stone throwers was not far, but the stones were large enough.
The boulder rolled down, and the group of monsters along the road suffered the first powerful blow. On the other hand, the orc's stone thrower is the opposite, because it is thrown from the slope, the stone is significantly smaller, so as to compensate for the difference in distance. Otherwise, it will be destroyed by the human catapult before it reaches range.
However, for the demonic beasts and orcs that roamed the mountains, this blow did not seem to stop them from going crazy. The Warcraft army continued to attack, completely ignoring the huge casualties of its kind. Lord Agaso also seems to know that these are just appetizers for these protracted sieges, and that the real battle has not yet begun. The Orc Legion's catapults finally launched the first wave of attacks, but their strategy was simple, instead of spreading all the stone throwers, they concentrated all the boulders and threw them at the city gates. The meaning of the Half-Beast Legion is obvious, that is, to break the city gates, so that tens of thousands of demonic beasts can rush into the city and destroy the will of the human race by relying on numerical superiority.
"Free Throw!"
The chess players behind Master Agaso played the flag, and hundreds of crossbow machines behind him began to fire, and the overwhelming rain of swords poured down, and at the same time, a large number of archers hidden in the inner wall began to shoot, with the lethality of the crossbow arrows, the half-orc army suddenly suffered countless casualties. Murong Yu was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him, has the race war really begun? This big question mark made Murong Yu know that it is not so easy for human beings to win in this war. With the full firing of the trebuchets, crossbow arrows, and bows, the casualties of the orc legions increased dramatically.
However, under the cover of the orcs' shields and stone throwers, the first siege ladders finally arrived under the city walls. One by one, the ladders were erected, and the real hand-to-hand combat began. The city gate was hit by a trebuchet, and the huge steel gate also trembled slightly, and the sound of "bang! bang!" on the boulder smashing on it was endless. The steel door is very strong, but the door axes on both sides are beginning to deform, and the latches behind the door are also bounced up again and again. With an attack of this intensity, this gate seems to be unstoppable, and in order to relieve the pressure on the gate, the sword rain on both sides first beckons to the orcs who are attacking the gate.
Murong Yu only felt that his whole body was in a state of numbness, and the defense in Dikasen City in the past seemed to be like a play now. This is the real battle, this is the real battlefield, and the killing breaks out in an instant. The orcs who climbed up the ladder began to engage the human defenders, relying on their thick skin and flesh, and they resisted the sword stiffly, even if they were killed, they had to deal a blow to the human. In this desperate way of fighting, the human defenders began to suffer casualties. However, even so, these valiant warriors did not retreat in half a step, and they shouted to fight with the orcs.
With the engagement on the city wall, the offensive of the Warcraft was fierce again, and the follow-up combat power continued to follow. The standard-bearer behind Master Agaso changed his flag again, and at the same time, the legion of mages hiding in the inner wall began to attack. A large number of fireballs and boulders fell from the sky, and the half-orc legions that followed were hit again. The power of the mage was undoubtedly displayed at this moment, and the powerful large-area magic dealt a heavy blow to the orcs who did not have high magic resistance. The battlefield with a murderous sound was in full swing, and everyone was thrown into this race battle, and Murong Yu and the others, who were standing behind Master Agaso, were deeply shaken in their hearts.
Every minute, every second someone dies, and death here is not an art, but a naked devouring. He is evil, he is an abomination, he is the messenger of hell, summoning the undead of these warriors. At this moment, Murong Yu found that something was about to move in his spatial ring. Murong Yu was shocked, his soul power went deeper, and he actually found that the black crystal ball that he had snatched from the demon clan at the beginning emitted a dazzling light. Even in the spatial ring, this black crystal ball was absorbing the souls that were scattered outside. At this moment, Murong Yu finally knew that this black crystal ball was originally used to collect souls, and this discovery made Murong Yu ecstatic.
Since this black crystal ball was stolen by Murong Yu, Murong Yu has also taken it out for research many times, and he has always been clueless, but he didn't expect that today, he accidentally found such a treasure. This crystal ball is called the soul gold bottle in the other world, and its main function is to collect souls, and after transformation, it is easy for users to absorb the souls of the dead and strengthen their own soul power. As for how to absorb it for his own use, this is something that Murong Yu needs to continue to study, and the top priority now is to collect enough soul power.
The thousands of souls who lived and died on the battlefield were slowly absorbed by the Soul Golden Bottle, just like a powerful water suction machine, slowly integrating into the Soul Golden Bottle bit by bit. In the past, the Soul Golden Vase also absorbed the souls of the dead, but due to the limited quantity, there was no movement until then, and this time it was different. The casualties of humans and demonic beasts were rising sharply, and feeling the endless soul power outside, the soul golden bottle had a strong reaction.
If this kind of soul golden bottle has to be filled, then it will have at least hundreds of millions of souls, after all, there is only a little soul of each deceased, judging from the situation of the battlefield, even if it is a one to one hundred casualties, human beings are very disadvantaged, after all, the number of demonic beasts is really huge. Feeling that the countless souls of the Soul Golden Vase were absorbed into it, Murong Yu was ecstatic at the same time, but he was also silently lamenting, which showed that the deaths on the battlefield were increasing dramatically. Whether it's human or Warcraft, it's all cruel anyway, and the war is tragic.
Lord Agaso obviously had no intention of letting Pace and the others participate in the war, and under Pace's repeated requests, Lord Agaso gave the seven people the task of protecting the headquarters. This command center is the command center of the whole city, and there are dozens of standard-bearers behind it, as well as more than 20 heralds. The difference between these heralds and ordinary soldiers is that each of them carries a small flag with a large fiery red character on it. The standard-bearers, on the other hand, only have different colors of clothing, and the position in which they stand is more conspicuous, and they are vulnerable to attacks with bows and arrows and crossbow arrows.
In fact, these are not enough to show the location of the command post, and the most interesting thing for the defenders of the city is the ten giant drums on the back of the command post. The heavy drums here are the soul of the defenders of the city, the drums are non-stop, the battle is endless, they are the morale of all the soldiers. They clearly knew that as long as the drums were still there, the lord of the city would definitely be there, and if the lord was there, the whole city would still be there. Therefore, this seemingly simple task is the core of the entire battlefield.
Murong Yu's mind was all on the soul golden bottle, and he had no objection to the arrangement of the city lord, but the rest of the people were obviously much nervous. They all drew their weapons and were on full alert, and occasionally a few lonely powerful half-orcs attacked the command post, but under the interception of Pace and a few people, those saint-level powerhouses had no intention of making a move at all. Some of them even closed their eyes and didn't pay attention to the situation on the battlefield, they knew that the real showdown had not yet begun, and they had to keep themselves in the best condition.
This senseless war of attrition continued until dusk came, and the fiery red sunset sprinkled the afterglow of zuihou, ushering in a pale dark moon on the horizon. Murong Yu didn't know how many human casualties there were this time, but relying on the strong city wall, although he was in a hurry several times, he still blocked the strong attack of the half-orc legion.
