The next day was the fourth day that Bai Xiaowen took on the second main mission [War at Black Rock].
early morning.
The big bell on the city wall was rung, and on the distant horizon, a black army appeared, accompanied by wild horns and desolate drums.
Prince Nicholas stood at the top of the city, his brows furrowed, like a statue. Beside him was Archbishop Arlo, whose brows were also furrowed.
The other human command levels also came to the city wall.
The sounds of exclamation came and went.
As the distance got closer, the mighty military appearance of the United Remnant Army in the distance also appeared in the sight of many senior leaders of the Human Alliance Army.
A group of trolls riding raptors serve as an outpost and jump forward. This is the troll raptor hunter unit, followed by a phalanx composed of other units.
A phalanx of orcs riding giant wargs marched forward in order.
"The elite wolf cavalry of the orcs!" Someone recognized it.
After the cavalry came the infantry. Each of these infantry had dark skin, slender and pointed ears, and elf features, but their clothing styles were mainly dark tones, especially the women among them, who were actually naked in the cold wind of northern Xinjiang.
With a large area of dark skin and only a few thin pieces of cloth at key points, she is really not afraid of the cold.
"The scimitar warriors of the dark elves actually have four thousand-man formations!" The speaker was Earl Denton.
Between the infantry phalanx of the dark elves, there are also huge figures. These are giant beasts in the shape of lizards, with thick skin like emeralds, and a single horn on their protruding noses.
"Thunder behemoths! Oh my god, the presence of these behemoths is enough to make up for the magic shortcomings of those barbarians..." Nicholas' magic advisor sighed.
Suddenly, in the sky, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and groups of flying soldiers formed shadows covering the ground below. These remnant flying soldiers are all slender and small, and most of them are women.
, with eagle-like wings growing on its back.
But in their slender hands, they were holding short bows, and the arrowheads shone with cold light.
"Harpy Archer! Damn it, when did the sinful realm have so many birdmen? These feathered beasts are capable of giving birth!" Another old lord from Northern Xinjiang recognized the origin of this flying force.
Each phalanx formed by the elite soldiers of the survivors could leave a wave of exclamations on the walls of the Black Rock Fortress.
Seeing the terrifying numbers of the Remnant Alliance Army, and then thinking of their combat effectiveness... most of the nobles in the Human Alliance Army felt deep fear.
A few days ago, the scene at the dance was awakened in many people's memories. Many people looked for the figure of the young lord who dared to tell the truth but was laughed at by the collective.
Before they could find it, there was a dull drumbeat, and from the orc-wolf cavalry phalanx, a tall orc riding a giant wolf emerged from the crowd.
This orc is extremely thick and burly, and when he speaks, he speaks the common language of the Kane plane (ancient Latin). Perhaps because of the jerky grammar, he speaks very slowly, almost word by word popping out of his mouth.
, like a hammer hitting an anvil, it spread clearly across the entire battlefield.
"I, Absolun Hezlit, chief of the orc clan, commander-in-chief of the coalition forces."
"Humanity... Surrender and live as a slave."
"Resist... massacre the city!"
On top of the city wall, even though they were frightened by the military appearance of the Remnant Alliance, many humans still cursed.
Prince Nicholas raised his big armored hand to stop everyone from yelling, and said slowly: "Orc, as long as I am here, Black Rock City will never fall. Stop talking nonsense and speak with your sword!"
Absolun, the orc chief and commander of the coalition forces, had an indescribable smile on his face with protruding fangs.
"attack!"
This shout was made in the remnant language.
In the formation of the Allied Forces of the Remnants, the originally desolate sound of war drums suddenly became more urgent, and a feeling of passion and excitement rose from the bottom of my heart. Countless Remnant soldiers, waving their weapons, howled and rushed towards the wall of the Black Rock Fortress!
After entering the shooting range of the city walls and arrow towers, they were greeted by a hail of arrows. Although the remaining soldiers were all elite and had strong combat effectiveness, they were hit by multiple arrows and were doomed.
The one at the forefront of the charge was the phalanx of Orc spearmen. However, the ravine surrounding Black Rock City made this group of Orcs spend double the time and pay more casualties before they rushed under the city wall.
A large number of orcs were lying at the base of the city wall. The following orcs jumped on their comrades with extraordinary agility and built human ladders. They quickly stacked them three or four levels and approached the edge of the tall city wall.
.
However, these orcs were exposed to the range of the human coalition archers from the arrow towers on both sides, and became a living target.
The archers of the human coalition fired arrows at the backs of the orcs, forming a pincer attack with the human defenders on the city wall, and the orcs fell one by one.
"This defensive formation in which the arrow tower and the city wall are at the angles of each other does have high practical value." On the city wall, Earl Denton saw this scene and said to Prince Nicholas.
Prince Nicholas nodded: "If the orc commander was not stupid, he would not continue to attack the city wall foolishly..."
Sure enough, a horn sounded in the remnant camp, and elite soldiers such as troll headhunters and troll raptor riders immediately 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 you also have to withstand the baptism of arrows from the city wall. Soon, under each arrow tower, just like around the city wall, there were high piles of corpses.
The furious orc vanguard began to chop down the arrow tower with the weapons in their hands. After all, it was a temporary arrow tower. Although it was also made of black rock, it was not as thick as the city wall. A knife here, a hammer there, and the remnant army was there.
While suffering a large number of casualties, the arrow tower also began to become crumbling.
"We cannot sit back and watch them demolish the arrow tower. Your Highness, please allow me to lead the army to charge!" Earl Denton shouted.
Nicholas shook his head slowly but firmly.
Everyone was stunned for a while.
"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 the lives of dozens of soldiers. It is already quite worthwhile," Prince Nicholas said. "According to Dio's opinion,
As the city defender, try not to rush out of the city and fight the powerful enemy head-on. I think now is not a good time to charge."
Archbishop Arlo on the side nodded with deep understanding: "Yes, the enemy has just started to attack the city, and their morale is still very high, so it is not suitable for charging. Let's wait for the good news from Baron Dio..."
