The sky was getting brighter, and the Iron Felt City finally slowly returned to calm. In this battle, the 200,000 orc forwards passed through the border like a strong wind, sweeping away the Black Rock Army within the border.
Half a month later, they marched north again, entered the Black Rock Principality, and began to capture enemy towns one after another, and continued to move towards the center of Black Rock, Fengyan City.
In Fengyan City, there is a luxurious room in the fortress castle.
There are several neat humanoid armors placed around, giant deer heads and antlers are hung on the wall, and a man in black armor is walking back and forth on the soft fur carpet.
"waste!"
"That's 500,000 people! They'll be gone in two weeks. Even if they kill pigs, it won't be that fast, right?"
"If you can't fight, you can't even run, can you?"
"Sir, nearly 400,000 of them are temporarily recruited... We still have many elites staying in the country..." The staff on the side explained nervously, and then looked at the angry warlord leader carefully.
.
"Domestic? Well, it's good now. It's hard to suppress the voice of the Bow Hunting Faction. After such a huge defeat, I'm afraid they will have to gain confidence and make a comeback."
"What should we do? Do we still have to join forces with the monkeys from the Bow Hunting Faction?"
The warlord leader slammed the table down with a loud bang, causing several cracks to appear.
"Perhaps we can ask the mages of Lurna for help? They ordered us to attack Crancia. Now that the war is in full swing, they must not wait to save us."
Exhaling heavily through his nose, the warlord suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and raised his hand.
"You should contact them, and by the way, call a few others. I can't afford to lose face alone."
"Yes, Lord Xue Te." The chief staff member slowly exited the room, and then went to contact several other warlord leaders in Fengyan City.

After defeating Black Rock's army, the orc reinforcements from the Gufia Grassland began to enter Black Rock's territory to counterattack the enemy.
As for this massive reinforcements, except for the first 200,000 who had relatively complete equipment, the remaining 600,000 or so only had ordinary weapons. But even so, its huge number and extremely strong physique still crushed Black Rock.
After the defeat of Crancia, there are now only 200,000 defenders of the Halberd Sect within Black Rock, of which nearly 100,000 are temporary recruits, and only the remaining 100,000 are the guards and elites of the warlords.
And as the orc fighting troops attacked the city and advanced all the way, Black Rock now continued to abandon the city and shrink, and finally almost all retreated into Fengyan City.
The situation of the war has reversed dramatically, and now they have to hold on to the city and resist the enemy's attack.
Outside Fengyan City, gray-white tents were set up one after another. Compared with the uniformity of the Clancia army, the orcs were much more free and casual. The tents were also of different sizes and colors. Some were brought all the way from the grassland, and some were captured from the enemy.
Some are supported by Crancia.
In the central tent, several orc leaders and Cranthian officers were discussing the siege.
"This fortress city is easy to defend but difficult to attack." After studying it for a long time, an officer sighed.
"Maybe we need a lot of dynamite?"
A certain alchemist suggested this. As the saying goes, the enemy is the best teacher. Many of them still remember the scene of the iron felt city being destroyed, and they are just using it now.
"But it will take a week to make and mobilize a large amount of explosives from Ned County." Orc leader Layton said.
This orc with the title of 'Disciple of the Sage' is now the most sought-after genius among the new generation of orcs, besides the flame priest Niya.
Although Lorraine Hill only taught him for less than two months at the time, having this relationship after all was a huge advantage for others, especially now that Gufia Grassland has been merged into Crancia.
"We can't wait any longer. The fighter plane is fleeting." A tall and powerful orc pressed his hand on the map on the table. His palms were extremely huge, and his exposed upper body was covered with red and black stripes, like a tiger.
The muscles are distinct and the blood vessels are like pythons.
"Lord Sharptooth, what do you think?" The shaman on the side looked at the leader of the Tiger Head Clan and the leader of the Red Stripe Tribe.
"It's up to me to open the way for everyone." There seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.
The next day, early morning.
The battle started while the mountains and fields were still shrouded in white mist.
One by one, the orcs held up their makeshift wooden shields and charged towards the Fengyan City. Their black armor reflected a faint golden light in the morning light, like a black and golden torrent pouring from the mountains.
The most conspicuous among this group of orcs is undoubtedly the leader of the 'Tiger'. This War Sequence 8·Claw of Heroes is galloping in the morning light, and the intense magic power on the surface of the body boils and burns, just like the substance.
As the golden red flame continued to breathe, his figure grew bigger step by step, the muscles on his body became thicker, and the blood vessels were like chickens. The soldiers behind him looked smaller and smaller under the background.
In the end, the orc soldier, who was more than two meters tall, could only reach his ankles, and his standing posture was like a giant wrapped in flames. It brought a huge sense of oppression to the defenders on the fortress, making people tremble and paralyze.
Sit on the ground.
roar--
Its sound was like thunder rolling across the earth, arousing the deepest fear in everyone's hearts. The sound wave advanced layer by layer like substance, shattering the wall stacks, directly lifting the soldiers on the city wall, and hitting the stone wall behind, forming bloody mud.
The top combat power, second only to Sequence 9, shocked everyone the moment he appeared on the scene.
"Fire, fire!" the commander of the Black Rock garrison shouted anxiously, waking up the frightened soldiers one by one and asking them to start attacking.
It's a pity that these lead bullets shot into the huge body, like a mud cow entering the sea, without any sound, and was directly swallowed up by the flames. And this orc hero with black and red stripes on his body continued to accelerate on the ground, rushing towards the city gate like a giant mountain.
Bang——
Blood and bricks spattered, and a huge gap was opened in the city gate. The soldiers above turned into broken flesh and blood and were evaporated by the flames, exuding traces of white air.
"Wu-ahhh! Ahh!!"
When the soldiers on the city wall saw the ferocious head close at hand, they let out random screams like a baby, and ran towards the back like a roll.
But this orc hero directly opened his sharp claws with blood grooves, slashed through the air, and divided these black rock soldiers into several pieces.
Such a cruel scene, even on the friendly side of Crancia, many soldiers found it difficult to accept, and some even bowed their heads and vomited.
Many of them are young people in their early 20s and are not the kind of numb battlefield veterans.
"Sorry, this is how we orcs fight, alas..." Layton stood behind the military formation, looked at the roaring fangs, and patted the officer on the side on the back.
In the past, the orcs worshiped fighting and the taking of life. Although they now submit to Clancia, many customs and concepts cannot be changed immediately. Moreover, he is still an older radical.
"I hope that Lady Elani's education can be spread to every child in the future." Leiden said in a low voice.
In the future, if the orcs want to live in peace with all races for a long time, they must change this barbaric and bloodthirsty custom.
However, the growth environment of each generation is different. For the older generation, they are powerless to change. Now they can only educate the next generation and place their hopes in the future.
In Fengyan City, several warlords were discussing matters in a secret room. Now they heard a loud noise outside and ran out, only to see the tall orc standing with his head held high.
"It's really terrifying. Maybe the legend is true. The orcs gained the remnants of the Giant King's Court back then, and the war sequence is said to have originated from the majestic Titan in the Giant clan."
A mage wearing a purple-edged black robe looked at the roaring flame giant and said.
"What should we do now?" Several warlords on the side asked anxiously when they saw the city below destroyed.
"Wait. Take out the magic crystal gun troops. Now is not the time to save."
After the sharp teeth broke through the city gate, the orc troops below began to pour into Beacon City. This fortress city built on the mountain was originally intended to monitor the orcs on the grassland. Many years later, it also confirmed the original purpose.
.
Most of the houses in the city were modified from arrow towers and fortress walls, and their doorways and aisles were deliberately designed to be narrow to prevent the thick orcs from passing through.
And just after the orcs entered the city, they were quickly blocked by the enemy's musketry. Lead bullets were shot from the top of the wall and hidden holes, knocking down one by one the orcs and falling into the narrow alley.
After entering the city, the complex high and low levels of bunkers and city walls are still functioning. In the fortress built on the mountain, there is not only the lowest city wall, but also two huge stepped platforms, on which the defenders can move.
Continue to defend and block the enemy layer by layer.
The design of the ancient Mercury Dynasty still blooms with its simple and practical value today, thousands of years later.
And just when Sharp Teeth jumped into the city again, sweeping continuously and breaking through the thick city walls, the dark clouds in the sky broke through.
Light white metal wings spread out on both sides of the airship, breaking through the airflow. The propeller behind it rotated rapidly, but only made a very small noise. This giant airship with a length of more than 300 meters attracted the attention of the audience as soon as it appeared.
Its pale white airship is engraved with dark blue roses in seven blooms, and a high-level mage with a rank of Sequence 6 or above stands in it. The entire airship exudes huge magic fluctuations, like the heartbeat of a giant dragon.
Immediately afterwards, the hatches on the belly of the airship opened, revealing red and black magic crystal muzzles.
The gears rotated, the magic furnace was charged, and the enchanted adamantine shells were pressed into the barrel by mechanical transmission. The neatly arranged barrels began to be aimed at the giant orc on the ground under the adjustment of the mage in the airship.
The lines engraved on the barrel glowed with bursts of red light, turning from deep red to orange-red, and then turned into a bright yellow.
The last scorching crimson-gold cannonballs shot out of the muzzle, splitting the atmosphere with a violent concussion sound, and shot directly into the body of the giant orc, exploding and shattering, setting off flesh and blood and endless fire.
The shocking sound of artillery fire, even though it was nearly a kilometer away, still caused countless soldiers to be directly deafened, temporarily or even permanently losing their hearing.
And amidst the frightening sound of gunfire, the diffuse smoke slowly dissipated, and the giant orc who lost most of his body was still standing. From his horrific wounds, the flesh and blood fell into everyone's eyes in a tragic and direct manner.
, and then slowly grew and recovered in the white mist.
"Hahaha - they are indeed durable orcs. In this way, I can finally test the upper limit of this airship!"
A man in military uniform with a long sword appeared on the deck of the airship. He looked down at the gasping orcs below, his eyes showing excitement, and then under his command, the magic crystal cannon on the airship began to charge again.
And this time, it was more violent than any other time.
The magic furnace inside was operated to the extreme, with huge roars and fluctuations shaking the various parts of this precision creation, making discordant sounds, and the light from the muzzle began to glow with a dazzling glow.
The pale white airship in the sky discharged layers of air waves, turned a huge arc in the air, leaving a long and mighty air trail cloud, and kept firing at the target below, pouring out crimson fury.
The orcs on the ground let their intuition and instinct drive them, waving their giant claws with blood grooves and sweeping across the enemies in sight, galloping in the scorching wind. He kept jumping to dodge the golden-red cannonballs, and rushed towards the center of the fortress.
top layer.
Taking advantage of the height of the top of the fortress, he shot into the sky like a crossbow, and his claws stained with blood and dust went straight towards the airship in the sky.
Precision instruments and components make up this airship. It is also the crystallization of ancient knowledge. Human beings rely on knowledge and experience to construct the edifice of civilization.
With boiling hot blood flowing in their bodies, relying on the most primitive instincts in life, the orcs used their brute force to survive in this world.
Bones and teeth are the most immediate primitive things, gears and machinery are the most empirical things.
——And now, instinct and knowledge are at odds with each other.
