Chapter 284 Remnant Coalition Army
The next day, that is, the fourth day after Bai Xiaowen took over the second main quest [War of Heiyan].
early morning.
The big bell above the city wall was rang, and on the horizon in the distance, a black army appeared, accompanied by wild horns and desolate drums.
Prince Nicholas stood at the head of the city, frowning deeply like a statue. Beside him was Archbishop Arlo, who also frowned.
The commanding ranks of other humans also came to the city wall.
Exclamations came and went.
As the distance got closer, the prosperous military appearance of the Remnant Coalition Army in the distance also appeared in the vision of many high-level officials of the Human Coalition Army.
A group of trolls riding raptors acted as outposts, leaping forward. This is the troll raptor hunter unit, followed by a phalanx of other arms.
A phalanx of orcs riding on a giant warg marched in order.
"The elite wolf cavalry of the orcs!" Someone recognized it.
After the cavalry came the infantry. These infantrymen have dark skin, slender and sharp ears, and have the characteristics of elves, but the style of clothing is mainly dark tones, especially the women among them, who are exposed to large areas of dark skin in the cold wind of the northern border. , with only a few thin pieces of cloth embellished at the key points, really not afraid of the cold.
"The dark elves' scimitar warriors actually have four thousand people!" It was Earl Denton who spoke.
Between the dark elves' infantry phalanx, there are also behemoth figures. This is a giant beast in the shape of a lizard, with thick emerald-like skin, and a single horn on its protruding nose.
"Thunder beasts! My God, with these behemoths, it is enough to make up for the shortcomings of the barbarians in terms of magic..." Nicholas' magic advisor sighed.
Suddenly, in the sky, there was a sound of breaking air, and the shadows formed by groups of flying soldiers covered the ground below. These remnant flying soldiers are all slender and small, and most of them are women, with eagle-like wings growing on their backs.
In their slender hands, they were holding short bows, arrowheads flashing with cold light.
"Harpie shooter! Damn, when did the crime realm have so many birdmen, these feathered beasts can live!" Another old lord of the Northern Xinjiang recognized the origin of this flying unit.
The phalanx formed by the elite troops of each remnant can leave a wave of exclamations on the wall of the Black Rock Fortress.
Seeing the terrifying number of the Remnant Alliance Army, and thinking of their combat effectiveness... Most of the nobles of the Human Alliance Army felt deep fear.
A few days ago, the scene at the dance was awakened from the memories of many people. Many people looked for the figure of the young lord who dared to tell the truth, but was ridiculed by the collective.
Before they could find it, a dull drum sounded, and a tall orc riding a giant wolf emerged from the Orc Wolf Cavalry phalanx.
This orc is extremely stout and burly, and when he speaks, he speaks the common language of the plane of Kane (Old Latin). Perhaps because of the jerky grammar, he speaks very slowly, almost word by word. , like a hammer hitting an anvil, clearly spread throughout the battlefield.
"I, Absolen Hazlit, the chief of the orc clan, the commander of the coalition."
"Human... Surrender, live, as a slave."
"Resistance... Slaughter the city!"
Above the city wall, although they were shocked by the military appearance of the Remnant Coalition Army, many humans still cursed.
Prince Nicholas raised his big arm wrapped in armor, stopped the shouts of the crowd, and said slowly: "Orc, with me here, Black Rock City will never fall. Don't be foolish, talk with a sword!"
The Orc Chieftain, the commander of the coalition forces, Abu Sorren, showed an indescribable smile on his fangs protruding face.
"attack!"
This shout was roared in the remnant language.
In the remnant coalition army, the originally desolate sound of war drums,
It suddenly became urgent, and a passionate feeling rose from the bottom of my heart. Countless remnant soldiers, wielding weapons, rushed towards the city wall of Black Rock Fortress howling wildly!
After entering the range of the city walls and arrow towers, they were greeted by a pouring rain of arrows. Although the soldiers of the remnant are all elite and have strong fighting power, they are still dead when they are shot by multiple arrows.
The front of the charge is the half-orc lancer phalanx. However, the ravines surrounding Heiyan City cost the half-orcs twice as much time and more casualties before rushing under the city walls.
A large number of orcs were lying on the base of the city wall. The following half-orcs jumped on the bodies of their comrades-in-arms with superhuman agility, built a human ladder, and quickly stacked three or four layers, approaching the edge of the tall city wall. .
These half-orcs, however, were exposed to the range of the archers of the Human Allied Army with the arrow towers on both sides, and became living targets.
The archers of the Allied Humanity Army fired a rain of arrows behind the half-orcs, and the human defenders on the city wall formed an attacking situation, and the half-orcs fell one by one.
"This kind of defensive formation where the arrow tower and the city wall are horns of each other does have a high practical value." On the city wall, Earl Denton said to Prince Nicholas when he saw this scene.
Prince Nicholas nodded: "If the orc commander wasn't stupid, he wouldn't continue to attack the city wall stupidly like this..."
Sure enough, in the camp of the remnants, a horn sounded, and immediately elite soldiers such as troll headhunters and troll raptor riders rushed to the arrow tower and tried to climb.
However, the difficulty of climbing the arrow tower is the same as that of the city wall, and it also has to withstand the baptism of arrows from the city wall. Soon, under each arrow tower, like the surrounding city walls, tall corpses were piled up.
The vanguard of the furious orcs began to chop and chop arrow towers with their weapons. After all, it is a temporary arrow tower. Although it is also made of black rock, it is not as thick as the city wall. With a knife here and a hammer there, while the remnant army paid a lot of casualties, the arrow tower also began to crumble.
"You can't sit back and watch them demolish the arrow tower, Your Royal Highness, please allow me to lead the charge!" Count Denton shouted.
Nicholas shook his head slowly but firmly.
Everyone was stunned.
"These newly built arrow towers have already played a big role. In order to destroy an arrow tower, the enemy has to pay at least dozens of soldiers' lives, which is quite worth it," said Prince Nicholas. "According to Dio's opinion, As the defender of the city, try not to leave the city rashly and fight against powerful enemies. I don’t think now is a good time to charge.”
Archbishop Arlo nodded in agreement: "Yes, the enemy has just started to attack the city, and the morale is still very high, so it is not suitable for charging. Let's wait for the good news from Baron Dior..."
