The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 1163 Hidden Hand
Outside the Thorn Fortress, the commanders of the Storm and Rock Legions, who had just withdrawn from the front line of the battle, ran madly towards the safe central camp in a rage. Before they could even lift the curtain of the felt tent, a lion-like voice came out of the mouth of the three-meter-tall ogre commander Murray.

"Marshal, why did you order the withdrawal at this time?"

"The warriors of my legion have already gained a foothold on the city wall. Now they have been withdrawn by this order. If they try to rush up the city wall again, I don't know how many lives will be lost!!!"

No wonder the officers of Murray's two legions were dissatisfied. Commander Albad had dispatched two of the ten elite legions to participate in the siege early on. Although this brought a great breakthrough in the war situation for a while, their two legions lost more than half of their soldiers in the siege of just over one magic hour.

If these sacrifices could bring victory on the battlefield, at least maintain the current advantage in breaking through the city defenses, but who could have imagined that the central army camp should have been sending manpower to the city to support and stabilize the hard-won situation at this time, but suddenly issued an order to evacuate, which seemed absurd and even foolish to the front-line soldiers, and returned the city defense to the elves guarding the city.

This means that the sacrifices of the soldiers of the two main legions and the dozen or so legions that supported the main force were all in vain.

In the spacious interior of the central army camp, the dwarf commander Albard, who had been sitting on the magic sand table for more than ten days, faced the two officers' insubordination. He had no expression on his face and did not respond. He just cast his eyes on a certain broken section of the towering city wall on the sand table and said coldly: "Send the signal!!"

"Yes!!"

The dwarf goblin herald standing behind him responded in a sonorous voice, ran past the two burly commanders, left the camp gate, and transformed into a majestic giant eagle soaring into the sky.

boom!boom!boom! !

Soon, three beautiful fireworks of different colors lit up in the sky, which lasted for a long time. Shortly after these three magical flames rose, several roars far louder than thunder suddenly sounded in the direction of the Thorn Fortress in the distance. At the same time, the earth began to tremble violently after the roar, as if an abnormal earthquake suddenly appeared on the battlefield, but soon the earthquake disappeared without a trace and returned to calm.

The anger in the eyes of the two commanders who had come to call for an explanation gradually disappeared at this moment, because they saw that on the conspicuous magic sand table in the hall, in the lifelike projection representing the Thorn Fortress, six or seven mushroom clouds suddenly rose from the east, south, and west walls where the Northern Alliance had fought fiercely for many days. Although the rising smoke covered the location of the explosion for a while, the splattering fragments of the wall and the cracks expanding along the mottled wall all showed that the defenses of the Elf Fortress were suffering a huge blow.

Before the smoke rising from the base of the city wall dissipated, new changes occurred on the sand table: dozens of huge earth and wood summons, as well as the battering rams and other war weapons that remained in the central army, were deployed one after another, taking advantage of the smoke on the battlefield ahead to blind the eyes and ears of the city wall elf army, and quickly launched a new round of attacks on the city walls at the explosion points.

The smoke was dispersed as the elves reacted using wind magic, revealing the explosion scene hidden under the smoke. For a moment, the faces of the soldiers on both the attacking and defending sides were shocked.

Of course, the moods of the soldiers on both sides were completely opposite.

At the locations where mushroom clouds of explosions appeared in three directions, a large section of the city wall that was originally tens of meters high collapsed suddenly. In some places, because the city walls were thick enough, although 5-6 meters of bricks were cut off in the explosion, the entire city wall was still barely intact and could still be used as a defensive fortification to resist enemy attacks.

However, there were three explosion points, where the city wall, which was more than ten meters thick, was cut off, with gaps of varying sizes. Through these gaps, the orderly elven buildings inside the city could be vaguely seen. The largest gap was in the southern city wall, which had been the most fiercely fought and the most destructive during these days. The explosion point was chosen at a location that had been hit by several earth-type summons and had already had many cracks. At the same time, the most explosives and alchemical objects were placed there, and a huge gap of more than fifty meters wide was blown out in an instant.

Such a huge gap cannot be completed in a short time even if the elves in the city use all their resources and repair it at all costs.

Moreover, the huge Northern Alliance outside the city would not sit idly by and watch their actions!!
The huge earth-type summons took heavy steps, waving their heavy and powerful arms and legs as they charged, clearing away all kinds of obstacles along the way. After the initial impact, the elves' spellcasters shook off the grogginess in their brains and began to cast dispel magic, powerful destruction magic, etc. to destroy the summons that were rushing towards the city, and competed with the Northern Alliance's spellcasters again.

"..."

After witnessing this sudden change, the two commanders no longer had any anger or sadness in their eyes, but instead had a bit more awe and gratitude. If Albard had not ordered the remaining soldiers to retreat from the city wall, they would have been affected by the massive explosion, and it was not impossible that the entire legion would have been destroyed.

It turns out that Albard's real purpose in sending out two main legions to launch a strong attack at all costs was not to arrogantly believe that they could rely on them to capture this solid fortress that had been operated by the elves for thousands of years, but to use the fierce and powerful siege actions of the two main legions and more than a dozen auxiliary legions as a cover, so that the tribe's secret weapon cultivated for many years - the alchemy engineering goblin team could calmly arrange blasting points at the base of the ruined fortress wall, and then blow up the wall of this solid fortress in one fell swoop.

Now it seems that the effect is remarkable. The elves' commanders would never have thought that the engineering alchemy profession, which has never been popular in the wilderness and almost no natives are willing to learn, would become the deciding factor in this siege.

The effort, energy, and resources required to train a professional engineering corps that could blow up city walls on the battlefield without being discovered by others were only known to a few Green Field executives like Albade and Allen.

Now that it has appeared for the first time, this team has achieved great results and lived up to Albad's expectations.

"Order: Death Scythe, Frost Blade Wolf Fang, Iron Blood Lion and other legions, attack immediately!!!"

"Target: Important locations within the Thorn Fortress!!"

The earth and wood elemental creatures summoned on the sand table were successively eliminated by the elf spellcasting team on the city wall, but during the charge they had already cleared a smooth path leading to the breach in the city wall for the latecomers. Albad, who had been waiting for this moment, did not hesitate at all and immediately issued the final order to attack the city.

"Yes!!!"
