The mage arrives

Chuck did not live up to the "Platinum" title that his Centurion Army had given before, and made the most correct order under the current situation.

He ordered the spearmen to form a dense formation, firmly blocking the way for the walking wolf knights to climb the city wall, and then mobilized all the crossbowmen to the towers facing the slopes with good shooting range.

Use well-formed heavy spearmen to hold the enemy head-on, and then use crossbow bolts to do a lot of damage.This is the most commonly used and most effective defensive tactic for Freyton's army in the absence of cavalry.

At the beginning, the arrangement of the centurion did have a very good effect.In the tundra orc army, there is no heavy cavalry like humans who wear heavy armor and use powerful charges to destroy the enemy's formation.Due to the lack of suitable mounts, these green-skinned savages chose wargs to form cavalry.However, the discipline, impact, and load-bearing capacity of wargs are not as good as war horses, so warg cavalry can only be used to perform harassment and pursuit tasks, and naturally they will not be equipped with any heavy armor.

Orcs whose metal smelting and armor manufacturing technology lagged behind the human world by more than 300 years, even if they got "imported goods" from human smugglers, they would give priority to equipping the strongest elite warriors in the tribe with the title of "beheader".

Therefore, facing the rain of arrows coming from the flanks, the walking wolf knight who started to charge towards the slope had no good way.They only wore light leather armor—this kind of protection was not bad in the orc army, but it was still not enough to face the Freidon-style military heavy crossbow.And since the weapons were large boning knives designed for easy slashing, they didn't even have small bucklers equipped.

The result of this is that the wolf walking knight just rushed up the slope, and was swept away by the dense arrow rain like cutting wheat.

Puffy blood flowers bloom in the crowd of beasts, coupled with their unique green skin, it can be seen from a distance.It even gives people the illusion of flowers blooming one after another on the green grass in spring.

Moreover, this dirt slope that seemed to directly pave the way for the orcs to climb the city wall was not as easy to climb as it looked.This is a soil slope naturally formed by the debris flow caused by the earthquake, not a road built artificially and rammed and flattened.Therefore, the soil slopes are different in depth and softness, and it will sink if you are not careful.Coupled with the hard rocks mixed in the soil, it is even more difficult to advance.

The orcs, who are generally stronger than humans in size and strength, fully exposed their clumsy and slow shortcomings in the process of climbing this dirt slope.

But despite such an obvious geographical advantage, the strength and morale of the troops are weak.It still caused Chuck Centurion's troops to quickly fall to the brink of collapse.

After suffering close to 200 casualties, the walking wolf knight finally climbed up the city wall along the slope.The crossbow troops of the defenders have performed very well, but because most of the warehouses for storing arrows are flooded by mudslides, the archers generally only have a tube of twelve arrows that they carry with them.cannot be supplemented.After the firepower quickly weakened, the shooters in the tower could only watch the wildly roaring orcs.Crashed into the shield wall made up of spearmen.

This kind of battle on the wall is boring and bloody.Death also appears insignificant because it happens anytime and anywhere.

Whether it was the corpses of the orcs that had been poked out with a few holes by the spears, or the corpses of human beings that had been cut to pieces by the boning knives, the city walls were quickly piled up.The blood of humans and orcs was mixed together, making the ground sticky, and many unlucky people fell down because of it.Being trampled to death by countless pairs of big feet.

The sound of weapons colliding with flesh and blood, curses in Orcish and Common, filled everyone's ears.

After the earthquake, Chuck McDougall's only complete centurion couldn't hold on after 15 minutes.He had to top the other two crippled centurions.Two 10 minutes later.He made up his mind and asked the shooters who had no ammunition to draw out the daggers around their waists and walk up the city wall.

It's a pity that compared with the orc boning long knife, these weapons are like toy shooters, and they were defeated in less than 5 minutes.

Seeing that the remaining thin three-layer human wall was about to be breached by the orcs, the centurion gritted his teeth and prepared to send those auxiliary soldiers up.

This is the last struggle.

Chuck Dougal and several other unit commanders held weapons and stood at the forefront.

"Bahamut, today is the day I die in battle!" Chuck stabbed out with a sword full of despair, and Chuck knocked down an orc cavalry in front of him. Pull out a big piece.The badly wounded orc fell to the ground cursing, revealing a gap that allowed him to see the distant scenery.

He glanced at the eyes covered with blood from the orcs, and found a team suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain not far away.

"Reinforcements?" Chuck had the thought in his mind.When he saw the Freyton flag fluttering at the front of the team, he immediately shouted, "Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming! Hold on, soldiers, victory will belong to us!"

The reason why the defenders of Saivato Fortress have been able to fight to this point and have not collapsed is purely because they know that if they don't fight, they will only die.The desperate warriors suddenly saw the Freyton flag fluttering in the distance, and boundless hope suddenly surged in their hearts.

However, they didn't realize that the condition of this Freyton army that suddenly appeared was not very good.

Everyone in the team was ashamed, as if they had just emerged from the mud—even those knights who paid attention to their appearance and had bright armor on weekdays were no exception.Moreover, the speed of this team is also very slow, and there are still many wounded behind.This is definitely not like the elite legion who came to reinforce from Princess Marlene Castle or Gaoyan City.

But these details are not important anymore.For the defenders of Fort Salvatore who were in deep despair, the sudden appearance of Freyton's army was their only life-saving straw.

The morale of the human defenders was greatly shaken, and the warg cavalry also noticed something strange.These orcs also noticed the unknown Freyton army that suddenly appeared from behind them.

The cavalry commander made a decision.He gave up his plan to continue attacking the fortress, but turned his head, retreated down the slope, and then mounted his wolf again to attack the Freydon army that suddenly appeared.

No one knows why the orcs suddenly gave up the fruit of victory that was on their lips when they were about to capture the fortress.Maybe it's because of self-confidence, maybe it's the desire to defeat the feats of two Freyton armies one after another, maybe it's just a hothead.These wolf cavalry didn't even send anyone to notify the warlord of the war. When there was news of the appearance of the new Freyton army, they swarmed with bloodthirsty killing intent and launched an attack.

"Happy Dragon God's Blessing Day. I think this large group of warg cavalry rushing over, as a holiday gift, must be very appetizing to you." Gordon watched as he hurriedly retreated from the slope, and then rode on the warg of orcs.

"Mr. Gordon, I think it's best for you to use your sense of humor elsewhere." Viscount Demond smiled wryly and commanded his subordinates to move, transforming the long serpentine marching formation into a circular formation against the cavalry charge.

Thanks to the initial stage of the launch of the legendary magic circle, under the reminder of Gordon, the evacuation was carried out immediately, so the troops attacking the black spider fortress entered the underground passage built by the dark elves in time, and finally avoided being triggered by the earthquake. The end of the landslide, buried alive in the dungeon.

Even so, Viscount Demon's team also suffered a lot of losses.

26 walking temple knights without horses, 37 elite warriors, [-] crossbowmen from Clear Water City, [-] priests of Dawn, and [-] mages.This is all the power Viscount Demon can mobilize now.

As for Gordon and his party, compared with the 16 people when they first entered the dungeon, there are now only eight people left.

Although the number is small, this team is carefully selected to deal with the Three Holy Baptists, so when the Viscount Demon gave the order, a circular formation dedicated to defending the cavalry was mounted on the orcs. Before, it has been formed.

All the fighters are on the outermost edge, the second layer is the crossbowmen, the mages and priests, and the wounded are on the innermost layer.

"Although this Dragon God Festival gift is a bit tricky, I'm still ready to accept it." Viscount Demon pulled out his fine gold long sword, his face sinking like water.The bitter cold wind blew across the plain, bringing with it a strong smell of blood and wolves.

"na-wuluf-dina-lien-bula." Viscount Demon said.

This is a proverb of the Enno people, a nomadic people living in the north all year round, which means: no matter how fierce the wolves are, they are no match for the lions.

Gordon took a look at Viscount Demond, who had a beard like a lion, and felt that this sentence was quite appropriate to describe him.

After linking the plans of the Three Holy Baptist Church with the news that the orcs were about to invade the south, Gordon had long since left the dungeon and was mentally prepared to encounter the orc troops attacking the Great Wall of Anduin immediately.And if the big enemies think that this small human army can easily eat it up, they will probably pay the price.

After a fierce battle for the city wall, panting, wounded, and some of the wolf cavalry with arrows stuck in their shoulders, led by their hot-headed captain, launched a charge.Despite the poor condition, the cavalry unit with only 700 men still has an absolute advantage in terms of strength.And in the minds of these orcs, even in the face of a five-to-one numerical disadvantage, powerful orcs can defeat weak humans, not to mention the current situation.

Victory will definitely belong to the great orc god Gruumsh!

When the distance between the two armies was reduced to about 100 meters, the divine crossbowmen from Clear Water City used their sharp eyes and refined crossbows in their hands to take the lives of nearly fifty wolf cavalrymen.

Although the orcs were taken aback by such a long-range attack, they didn't take it seriously.

But when the distance was shortened to 30 meters, the real devastating blow came. (To be continued..)
