Chapter 557 Carpet Bombing

"Ready to attack!"

"Hold on to the rope!"

"Come on! Pull forward! You slobs!"

The orcs shouted one after another, the huge siege ladder was slowly pulled, and hundreds of siege equipment, including trebuchets, had no lubricated bearings. When they walked through the forest full of dead branches, everyone heard There is a "crunching" noise all around.

There is no way, although they have the blueprints for manufacturing and learned to improve the craft in the process of siege again and again, but a race with almost no industrial foundation can only make things like this in a short period of time. Quite a few trebuchets It even ran off the wheel and broke the bearing during the march, which attracted a group of temporary engineers to rush to make up for it.

But at this moment, the two warlords understood that this was not something that could be changed in a short period of time. They had already set all their eyes on the dilapidated old city wall two kilometers away.

Must attack!

The two warlords Lacol and Duda are not the masters who are willing to die. Although the two reached an intention to coordinate an attack here, they also longed to become the unique great chief of the entire tribe at the same time.

As for Sauron? Judging from the information reported by the fortress, this guy actually led his team into the interior of Karen Kingdom. In the eyes of the two warlords, it was obvious that Sauron was out of his mind. But thinking that Sauron's elite soldiers and horses have finally come to a dead end, Rakor and Duda can feel more at ease when they sleep at night.

At this time, the two warlords did not go on the same road. They agreed on an attack time, and carried out a frontal attack from the southeast of Elson City. After all, both of them were tribal chiefs, and the troops around them would only listen to themselves. It's not good for them to be together forcibly.

The troop began to move slowly, with a small number of wolf cavalry in front as scouts to detect, while the infantry array with a total of over ten thousand crowded behind. The logistics force is located at a distance of several kilometers outside the city to continuously transport the luggage. Obviously, there has been no attack on the other fortresses in Efta these days, and the fortress captured by the orcs has also become their strong position, and it has been safely defended.

All the orcs now have a consensus: as long as Elson City is captured, the orcs can use this as a base to break through the human defenses one by one!

But just as these orcs moved forward with excitement, someone suddenly pointed to the sky: "Hey? That big rock seems to be moving"

"Are you dazzled? That thing hasn't moved since the first day I saw it."

"real,

I kid you not...he really moved! look! It seems that they are all moving this way! "

The trees outside Elson City were relatively sparse, and everyone could see the dilapidated and withered appearance of the city wall, and the shadows on it, but it was clear at a glance that there were not many defenders. But at this moment, the orcs are obviously more concerned about the floating towers above the sky. The innocent orcs raised their heads and pointed, but they didn't know what it meant.

Elson City has a total of eighteen floating towers. At this time, except for the central floating tower which is still suspended at a height of more than 400 meters in the middle of the city, the other seventeen small floating towers have been suspended in an array at a height of 200 meters. Above, facing the southeast direction of the city respectively.

That is, they were now squarely aimed at the approaching orc force.

At the same moment, in the central core area of ​​the floating tower of Pasha'er Demon Tower, Camilla looked down at the magic map that appeared in front of her eyes, lightly tapped her finger, and activated the attack mode of all the floating towers.

"The enemy estimates 13,000 people. Although it is a little less than expected, it is enough to complete the task he gave me..."

This central control area can instantly control the movement of the floating tower and the current energy release mode. After turning on the "Attack Mode", Camilla hesitated for a moment, then firmly reached out and pressed on the center of the magic circle, and issued the "Guardian" authority. "Attack" command!

"wow"

A series of explosions came from outside the tower. At this time, Camilla did not observe the damage of the orcs, but fixed her eyes on the instantly dim magic circle. The energy spar was replaced on the socket, and the spent spar bounced off the ground, making a "jingling" sound.

Roddy always said that war is "burning money". In the past, Camilla thought that the silver coins spent on forging weapons were considered astronomical, but compared with the more than 600 charged crystals consumed at one time by "concentrated coverage strike", it was really worth it. What a small number...

"Try it three times, and the crystals you have worked so hard to accumulate will be in a hurry again..."

Camilla pursed her lips, but her eyes were still calmly looking at the "projection" circle used to observe the enemy, and this time, she was finally shocked...

Because the army formation of the orcs has become a purgatory on earth in the blink of an eye.

Spell strikes fell from the sky without warning, and each floating tower carried out carpet bombing with "Arcane Missiles" based on the energy of 30 charged spars.

The power of "Arcane Missile" is not too small, because it is a pure energy attack spell, the power of the explosion is much stronger than the arrows of ordinary soldiers, and it also has the shock wave damage of the explosion. However, when facing a knight in plate armor, he couldn't achieve a fatal blow. If you want to kill a heavily armored target, at least three "Arcane Shock" are enough.

However, the total number of "Arcane Missiles" cast by the floating tower in a round of covering attacks exceeds 13,000...

This spell was specially developed by Rody to deal with the siege enemies. In the era of cold weapons, dense military formations are simply the most suitable targets. So when these "arcane missiles" poured down, the entire orc formation was completely pulverized by the impact of the explosion.

There is no need for a second strike.

The explosions were mainly concentrated in the siege troops and the infantry phalanx. The unarmored troops had no time to dodge, and they were blasted into pieces by the blow from the sky. rain!

All the siege equipment was blown into sawdust, and the engineers and soldiers standing beside them became fertilizer in the forest. Those tens of meters of tall trees were also blown flat... The ground of more than three square kilometers seemed to have been plowed by "Arcane Missiles", and there was only blood on the ground as far as the eye could see.

This brutal way of fighting directly stunned the orc troops.

The wolf cavalry units patrolling ahead escaped a catastrophe because they were not within the strike range, but when they looked back, they didn't even know where they should go next.

The wolf cavalry brigade of the two orc armies survived because they followed the team. The total number of them exceeded 3,000 and they wanted to flee in panic, but they were covered by the precise strike from the central floating tower. "" artillery shells scattered and exploded, and the explosive shells that could flatten the village directly blasted the wolf cavalry into the air.

One on each side, not to mention how many orcs were killed by the two wolf cavalry brigades, but the wolf was basically killed by the impact of the explosion!

In order to save energy, the originally maintained "Phantom Barrier" has been closed at this time, and the only wolf cavalry scout on the entire battlefield who has not been hit has seen the real appearance of the city wall at this moment: what made them stare wide-eyed is that Elson City The gate of the city is actually open!

Not only that, there are patches of well-growing farmland outside the city gate, and there are village buildings that have just been built...

Is this... really preparing for war?

They didn't have time to think about it, because a cavalry team of more than a thousand people had already flowed out of the open city gate. From the gleaming silver armor, it could be seen that this was a heavy cavalry unit, but when they ran, the opponent But the speed is faster than normal light cavalry!

Seeing the opponent's menacing approach, the wolf cavalry scouts turned their heads and ran away: they add up to only a few dozen people, how can they be the opponent of this kind of army?

But it didn't take long for them to turn around and run, and they completely collapsed. All they could see were the broken bodies of the main force after being bombed. Ten or hundreds might not be a big deal, but when they saw the "bloody road" paved by the limbs of more than 6,000 people, they couldn't bear it any longer and stopped one by one.

Some orcs were so frightened that they fell off the worgs, and some knelt on the ground and wept bitterly. Obviously, what is terrible for orcs is not the enemy, but the fact that they don't know how to die.

In this blow, most of the thousands of orcs who served as the Overseer's bodyguard survived. After all, they were the most powerful group of orc warriors on the Nehemia grassland. Even though they only wore leather armor, they also relied on their strong physical fitness to withstand the blow of the "Arcane Missile". However, Warlord Du Da's luck was not so good. He happened to be hit in the chest by an arcane missile, and was sent flying five or six meters on the spot, completely comatose. On the other side, Warlord Rakor was much luckier, only scratched his cheek by the flying stones.

But at this moment, he was looking at the ruined battlefield, and he couldn't even speak.

After preparing the siege equipment for more than ten days, it's over?

A team of more than 10,000 people was just abolished?

The power that I have worked so hard to accumulate has been blasted to pieces like this?

Originally full of enthusiasm and complacency, Warlord Rakor's face was pale green, and he sat paralyzed on the wolf as if he had lost his soul, even though the cavalry from Soderol approached in front, he remained indifferent...

If the heart dies, there is no way to fight this battle.

But at this time, the adjutant and the guards instinctively escorted the warlord to cover the retreat. Even the unconscious warlord Duda was resisted by his loyal subordinates against the wolf, and quickly gathered the remaining troops to escape from the battlefield.

But the orcs who escaped in a hurry didn't notice... When they rushed into the forest, a snake shadow coiled on an ancient tree opened its vertical pupils and moved its body that hadn't moved for a long time.
