The night is as dark as water, and the crescent moon is like frost. Under the blurred moonlight, the whole night is even more silent.
The orc camp was still brightly lit at this time, and the sentries everywhere could see no blind spots around.
As usual, Gert led his adjutant and a few soldiers to inspect the defense of the camp at this time when everyone should be sleeping the deepest.
As a commander leading troops, Gert is definitely qualified. The layout of the entire camp is in order, and it can be said that there are no loopholes to exploit. All troops trying to attack the camp will have no other choice but to attack directly.
.
"General!"
The patrol team passing by was not surprised to see Geert patrolling at this point, so they naturally saluted Geert and continued patrolling.
The gaps between the several patrol teams were arranged very carefully, and there were almost no opportunities to take advantage of them. Next, Gert checked the secret sentries throughout the camp again, and then he was satisfied and prepared to return to the main tent to rest.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Just when Gert was approaching his main tent, a high-pitched golden gong sounded.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Afterwards, the entire night seemed to be awakened, and most of the sleeping orcs woke up, and then moved closer under the leadership of the commander, reacting very quickly.
"How dare you actually come!"
Although Gert patrolled every night, he never thought that humans would really dare to attack at night. After all, from that aspect, humans would not have an advantage in night attacks.
However, although he was surprised, Geert was not worried. He was quite confident in the abilities of his elite men. The entrance to the camp was not something that humans could easily break through.
"kill!"
The battle has broken out at the gate of the camp. A large number of torches have been lit. By the light of the fire, you can see the densely packed heads in the night. The human army has actually attacked in large numbers.
However, I have to admit that Gert's arrangement is quite strict. The vanguard force led by Moriel is an elite system army, followed by the elite dragon army. Such an army can still be secretly sent by the orcs even if they are not aware of it.
Discovered in advance.
When the orcs secretly sent out the signal, Moriel decisively ordered to light the torches and launch a frontal attack. In a short time, more than a dozen champion knights even directly broke through the orcs' peripheral layout and pushed the battle line to the entrance of the orcs' camp.
It’s not that the orcs didn’t have arrangements. The arrangement of the orcs is extremely standard for any military. The quality of the elite orcs is also first-rate. These are all veterans who have experienced actual combat at Longxing Pass, and their reaction to the surprise attack
All very fast.
However, the attack of more than a dozen earth-level masters could not be easily intercepted. The sentries on the periphery of the orcs quickly arrived to prepare for the interception after the warning was issued. However, in front of the charging champion knight, this weak defense line was almost useless.
In order to have any effect, several wooden barriers blocking the key positions were directly shattered by the fighting spirit of the champion knight. The dozens of orc soldiers guarding behind the barriers were very courageous and charged towards the champion knight.
They launched an attack, but they were quickly overwhelmed without even being able to delay the champion knight's actions. They were not a force of the same level at all.
Then the Red Flame Knights and the senior Crusader monks led by Ron followed the gap opened by the champion knight and rushed in until they reached the entrance of the orc camp before temporarily stopping.
"General! Human beings are stopped at the gate of the camp and have not rushed in yet!"
Geert was first shocked by the advancing speed of the human army. He knew the situation of the outer defense line. The human army should not break through to the entrance of the camp quickly. No matter how fast the sleeping orcs reacted, the people gathered now would not
Not many. If humans continue to break through the camp, maybe this night attack will be successful.
But now the human actually stopped at the gate of the camp, which made him feel a little relieved. Although he didn't understand why the human commander, who was so difficult to deal with during the day, would make such a mistake, it was always a good thing. At least he had better reaction time.
A little more.
"Quickly, let the first legion be organized first. We must guard the camp gate and never let humans break through!"
Because the champion knight stopped charging, the orc army had taken advantage of this time to gather together. Now there were at least 3,000 fully armed orc warriors gathered on the front line of the camp. It would not be as simple as before to break through.
On Moriel's side, the reason why the champion knights were not charged was also very simple. She was waiting. After breaking through the outer perimeter of the orcs, the troops would have room to expand. There was no need to rush now. She was waiting for the follow-up troops to come up.
Originally, it should be possible to force a breakthrough by using champion knights as the vanguard, but the defense at the front line of the orc camp gate is still relatively tight. If you break through, you will always suffer a certain amount of losses, so there is no need to make such a meaningless sacrifice. Moriel's
There are not only the infantry of the Dragon Army and the Silver Wing Legion in the army, but also three giant dragons...
"Swish swish..."
Although the champion knight stopped in front of the camp, the human long-range army was not polite. After the sharpshooter troops and the great elf archers came up, they fired at the orcs in front. These system armies were more accurate in the dark night.
It's not low, and it hits the orcs as accurately as night vision. Because there are no tower shields and formations during the day, the casualties suffered by the orcs from long-range attacks are much greater than during the day.
"Shield! Raise your shield!"
After suffering some casualties, the orc shield bearers caught up and barely formed a formation to resist long-range attacks.
"boom!"
The orcs' special tower shield could block the marksman and the great elf shooter, but it could not block the shots of the phantom shooter and the blue magic missiles of the senior monk.
Five arrows flashed with white light, accurately passed through the gap in the tower shield, and directly shot the orcs hiding behind. The phantom shooter's shooting accuracy was not affected by the darkness at all.
The dozens of blue missiles are even more brutal. Although the accuracy of the magic missiles launched by the senior monks is not as good as that of the phantom shooters, they can basically hit the target. Each hit of these missiles has the power of a full blow from a knight-level master.
These ordinary orc warriors can be directly shocked to death through the armor. If they hit the tower shield, the huge force can also break the shield hand's arm, basically losing the ability to fight in this battle.
Moriel directly turned over the trump card that had not been used in the day's battle. The orcs who fought in the first wave were a little uncomfortable. But this was still within Geert's acceptance range, although the human long-range army seemed a bit powerful.
, but more and more troops have gathered on the front line of the camp, and the chance of human beings charging forward is now very slim. Once he has integrated the troops, it will be time to counterattack. He believes that time is on his side.
Outside the camp, Moriel was calmly looking at the orcs gathering at the gate of the camp. She didn't mean to be anxious at all. The champion knight even took the initiative to retreat after cleaning up the scattered orcs. Only the long-range troops were unilaterally providing help.
The orcs created some pressure, but the effect became worse and worse. The orcs who reacted either got close and raised their shields or found cover.
"Lord Moriel! The Dragon Army and Silver Wing Army have arrived at the designated location!"
"It's a little slow, but it doesn't affect the overall situation. Send a signal to Lord Richard!"
"yes!"
In the night sky, the Hunter family's unique sounding arrows pierced the night sky. Richard, who was more than ten miles away, could see it clearly. The soldiers beside him were worried that Richard would miss it, so they reported it to Richard very responsibly.
"Master Richard, this is the signal from Master Moriel!"
"Um…"
Richard nodded, looked back at the Ice Giant, Ultimate Hydra and Fred, and finally emphasized the order again.
The Ice Giant and Ultimate Hydra tried their best to cause damage and broke through from the center of the orc camp towards the direction of Moriel's main attack. Fred followed closely behind him, trying to directly find and kill the orc in the chaos.
supreme commander.
"Teleport."
Under the incredible eyes of the messengers around him, Richard disappeared out of thin air with two giant creatures and a superb swordsman...
