At the moment when the golden dragon soared into the sky, the orcs quickly became nervous. More than a dozen dragon-hunting crossbows emerged from the hiding place of the city wall. The orc warriors next to them nervously pulled the noose and began to adjust the angle of the dragon-hunting crossbows.
Although the orcs' dragon-hunting crossbows can damage giant dragons, they are too bulky and inconvenient to carry and transfer. They are usually placed in important cities, and their use is greatly restricted when they are semi-fixed on the city.
For example, most of the dragon-hunting crossbows brought to the North by the Orc Expeditionary Force were dismantled into parts for transportation. Some parts were made of special materials regardless of cost, and the army had to bring craftsmen with them to assemble them on site, which was quite troublesome.
But it is much more convenient to use in the city. Dragon knights usually dare not approach an orc fortress with multiple dragon-hunting crossbows like this. Although the accuracy of the dragon-hunting crossbow is impressive, it does cause huge damage to the dragon.
Perhaps, the Golden Dragon Kingdom would not dare to bet on the giant dragon like Richard did. This time Thor brought the golden dragon close to the orc city wall, which was considered a quite risky act.
"Al, increase the angle to the maximum and fly upwards."
Just when he was about to reach the attack range of the dragon-hunting crossbow in the Raging Flame Fortress, Thor suddenly let the golden dragon quickly increase its flight height. The golden dragon almost flew into the sky at a vertical angle of 90 degrees, which made the target that had been aiming just now
Its dragon-hunting crossbow lost its target.
"Turn!"
"Keep aiming!"
The golden dragon suddenly rose in height, and the orc soldiers had no choice but to continue to pull the noose of the dragon-hunting crossbow and adjust the shooting angle with the golden dragon. However, no matter how sophisticated the design of the dragon-hunting crossbow was, it was not as flexible as the dragon flying in the air. Soon the dragon-hunting crossbow became
Having lost the target, I had no choice but to temporarily stop adjusting and wait for the golden dragon to approach again.
Thor also took advantage of this feint to confirm the locations of most of the dragon-hunting crossbows on the city wall.
"The orcs have placed three dragon-hunting crossbows in the northwest corner of the city wall, one in the northeast corner, and three dragon-hunting crossbows in the southwest and southeast corners. It is not yet confirmed whether there are dragon-hunting crossbows in the main city. Try to wait until later.
Can you avoid these dragon-hunting crossbows, Al?"
"no problem!"
"Okay, let's go!"
"Roar!"
Thor and the golden dragon swooped down towards the Raging Flame Fortress again. The dragon-hunting crossbow on the city wall began to adjust its angle quickly, but it could not keep up with the speed of Al's vertical fall. Before the dragon-hunting crossbow could be launched, the dragon stepped on it with a bang.
On the city wall.
"boom!"
Al, who landed on the ground, was not polite at all. He sprayed out dragon breath at the dragon hunting crossbow that had not yet adjusted its position. A group of orc warriors who were operating the dragon hunting crossbow were instantly swallowed by the dragon breath. Their faces remained ferocious before they died.
And a look of horror.
"put!"
"Buzz!"
In the few seconds when the golden dragon landed, the dragon-hunting crossbows in other directions finally completed their adjustments. The orc officers in charge of the three divisions gave the order to shoot without any hesitation. A low vibration sounded when the dragon-hunting crossbow was fired.
, several giant arrows flew towards the golden dragon's huge body.
It’s just that at this time, the golden dragon Al had already hid against the city wall one step ahead. Al didn’t have the bad habits of other giant dragons, and he didn’t object to the unsightly posture of leaning against the ground to avoid arrows, and because he understood the arrows in advance, Al
In the direction from which it came, the golden dragon Al successfully dodged this round of dragon-hunting crossbow attacks.
"Roar!"
When the huge arrow flew over Al, Al raised his dragon head again and became a proud dragon. Taking advantage of the moment when the dragon-hunting crossbow was being loaded, Al spit out a dragon breath at a section of the city wall where orcs were densely packed.
Breathing, dozens of orc warriors were swallowed up by the hot dragon's breath and turned into a charred black thing.
"kill!"
"Hold it! After the city is broken, we will all die!"
"kill!"
"boom!"
At this time, because of the dragon's participation in the battle, the human army with high morale had launched a counterattack against the orcs on the city wall. Especially the human soldiers near the golden dragon swarmed onto the city wall in large numbers through the white space cleared by the dragon's breath.
, and attack the surrounding defending orcs.
However, the orcs' will to resist is also very resolute. Even if they are burned to death by the golden dragon's breath, they have no intention of retreating. The battle between humans and orcs is very cruel, and both sides basically take no prisoners.
, I don’t even bother to say anything about persuading people to surrender. It’s a fight to the death. After a military fortress like Raging Flame Fortress is breached, what follows must be a massacre without leaving a trace. This kind of thing has happened since Sol.
It seems that everything is just commonplace, so the orcs can't help but resist resolutely.
"Why hasn't the dragon been eliminated yet? What are the officers operating the dragon-hunting crossbow doing? If we don't kill the dragon, the city wall will be lost!"
"General! The human golden dragon has been moving close to the city wall since it fell. The dragon-hunting crossbow placed on the city cannot aim at it!"
"Then send people to attack it and force it up from the ground!"
"Forget it, the Guards follow me!"
"Target, dragon!"
"kill!"
Balance on the battlefield is a very delicate thing. Sometimes the death of a few soldiers may be the last straw that tilts the balance of the war. Not to mention that a golden dragon who fights wretchedly can easily kill dozens of orc warriors.
Now, the section of city wall where Al is standing is basically cleared of orc soldiers. In just a few minutes, the city wall is covered with dense human soldiers. At a glance, there are at least a thousand people, and this number is still expanding.
The situation is getting close to out of control for the orcs.
The orc leader Thun could not help but be in a hurry and no longer issued any orders. He personally led more than a thousand of his most elite soldiers to attack the section of the city wall that was close to being lost.
"boom!"
"ah!"
The orc general at the pinnacle of the earth personally led the team. Thousands of orc soldiers attacked like crazy demons and soon suppressed the human soldiers on the city wall. Al's breathing of dragon breath could not stop them. The key was high-intensity combat.
Al can no longer breathe out two breaths of dragon breath, and because he is afraid of flying the dragon-hunting crossbow into the air, its deterrent effect on the orcs has been greatly reduced...
"clang!"
"Um?"
Just when Thun thought there was no more enemy for mankind in front of him, a heavy sword steadily caught the giant ax he was chopping, and slowly lifted his giant ax to the side. The opponent's power
Still above him.
"Dragon Knight, Thor!"
Thun recognized the strong human standing in front of him with a giant sword at a glance. He might not recognize other humans, but he should be able to guess an iconic figure like Thor.
"kill!"
Thun knew that Thor's strength was equivalent to the level of a warrior in the country, and he could not tolerate him in the slightest. He immediately used his fighting spirit to block Thor's heavy sword. The orc warriors around him
He came forward without any courtesy and had no intention of letting the two of them fight one another.
"boom!"
"puff!"
It's just that the gap between the sky level and the earth level cannot be made up by a loud roar and the physical fitness of the orcs. After reaching the great knight, the physical fitness gap between orcs and humans becomes smaller and smaller. When reaching the level of the sky level, humans
The gap in basic physical fitness between the orcs has completely disappeared.
Thor also burst out with fighting spirit, and after a few weapons exchanges, he completely suppressed the opponent. Whether it was fighting spirit, strength, or even combat experience and skills, Thor overwhelmed the opponent. After blocking the opponent's giant axe, the orc general
Thun was obviously too weak to react. Thor seized the opportunity and kicked the opponent in the stomach. With the strength of the sky level, the power of this kick was probably no less than ten thousand kilograms. Thun was hit by a layer of heavy armor.
The powerful orc leader was kicked a few meters away. His internal organs surged due to the kick, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"General!"
"Protect the general!"
Tune was seriously injured by this kick, and he fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
The surrounding orc warriors were shocked when they saw this, and then they did not hesitate to protect Thun who fell to the ground in the middle, trying to stop Thor.
These orc warriors are all the elite personal guards around Thun, and there are many warrior-level orcs and even great warrior-level orcs among them. If Thor is alone, it will be quite difficult to face these hundreds of orc elites. At least he can use up his fighting energy.
He was exhausted, but there was also an army behind Thor.
The human warriors who had just been suppressed by Thun's team launched a counterattack under the leadership of the officers without Thor's command. Thor only acted as an arrow. During the attack, a giant sword slashed several people who tried to lead them.
The orc warriors blocked by the team opened a gap for the human soldiers behind them.
"Protect the general and go first!"
Seeing that there was no way to stop him, Thun's guard captain made a prompt decision and commanded several orc soldiers to protect Thun and leave. The city wall was lost, and he could still take Thun to defend the city's inner fort and resist. If Thun
If you die here, it's all over.
"boom!"
But how could Thor let go of this hard-won opportunity to let this big fish run away? In order to save his fighting spirit at first, Thor did not use his flying ability. Seeing that the opponent was about to run, he immediately used his fighting spirit and flew over a distance of more than ten meters.
, stopped the other party.
"kill!"
Several of the personal guards protecting Thun were considered brave. When they saw that their retreat was blocked by Thor, they looked at each other and rushed forward with their battle axes in their hands. Then, as expected, they were chopped down by Thor's giant sword several times.
On the ground, Thor was exploding with all his strength regardless of the consumption of fighting spirit. The surrounding orcs were unable to block the sharp fighting spirit of the sky level.
"clang!"
"Chi!"
Thun used his strength to block Thor's sword, but at the cost of losing all strength in his hands. The battle ax in his hand was directly knocked out by the heavy sword. The next second, he was split in half by the huge sword that came at him, and it was on the city wall.
A cloud of blood sprayed out.
"General!"
"General!"
"kill!"
"The city is broken! The city is broken!"
The desperate shouts of the orc warriors and the excited cheers of the human soldiers rang out all around...
…
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
"ah!"
"Chase! Catch that orc cub!"
In the alley, several human soldiers were chasing an escaping orc. The man had no iron armor on his body, and his figure was slightly thinner than that of a normal orc warrior. Among orcs, he could only be considered a minor.
He used a short bow to sneak attack the patrolling human soldiers, and was immediately chased and killed.
The fortress was breached in the morning attack. The human dragon knight killed the fortress general Thun on the spot. Hundreds of thousands of human soldiers poured into the fortress. The defeated orcs hid in the streets of the fortress. The human soldiers
The streets and alleys of the fortress are being cleaned up step by step.
The Raging Flame Fortress is a complete military city with very few civilians. In addition to the orc warriors, the orcs in the fortress are craftsmen or logistics personnel serving the army, and at most there are a small number of family members. After the city was broken, almost all the orcs picked up
The weapons provided the final resistance.
It caused a lot of trouble to the human soldiers who entered the city, but of course it was just trouble. More than 100,000 troops entered the city one after another. With the broken troops and some civilians scattered in the city, it was impossible to resist.
.
The officers of the human army organized the cleanup of the fortress respectively, while Thor stayed in the open space inside the fortress with his partner Al.
"Al, are you seriously injured?"
At this time, Golden Dragon Al looked a little sluggish, and there was a big bloody hole on his flesh wing that was still oozing blood. The medical officer accompanying the army had already treated the wound for Golden Dragon, but obviously this kind of penetrating damage could not be dealt with without special means.
OK.
"It's not a big problem, but flying will definitely be affected. The next battle..."
"The rest of the battle will be up to me. You should take good care of your injuries first."
Originally, after the human army broke through the city wall, they gave priority to controlling the remaining dragon-hunting crossbows on the fortress, thus eliminating the threat to Al. Unexpectedly, when attacking the last inner fortress of the orcs, the orcs actually hid a dragon-hunting crossbow.
Al, who was unprepared, was hit by an arrow unexpectedly. Fortunately, Al reacted in time and avoided the vital point. There was no danger to his life. However, the arrow still penetrated his fleshy wing. It would take at least a month or two to recover.
It was difficult for Al to participate in the next battle. Al was originally the strongest among the five dragons and the most cooperative dragon. This was definitely a huge loss for the human army. Fortunately, they have been captured now.
Raging Flame Fortress has completed the first stage of this combat objective.
"Lord Thor, the news from General Kimir is that orcs came from Watch City and retreated after leaving more than 10,000 corpses."
Just when Thor was thinking about the next battle, a soldier walked in and reported to him the situation on the other side.
In addition to the main army attacking the Raging Flame Fortress, there is also a partial division and four other dragon knights to block the reinforcements from Watch City. Now that the Raging Flame Fortress has been breached, the reinforcements are naturally meaningless and will no longer continue to waste time with the human army.
, chose to return.
The orc army that came to the rescue was a little impatient when they launched the attack because they were eager to support them, and they didn't have a good way to deal with the dragon knights. They suffered a lot of losses and left more than 10,000 orcs behind, which was a good news.
"Order General Kimil to withdraw as well. After taking down the orc fortresses on both wings, rest in the Raging Flame Fortress and wait for the fighter plane."
"Yes, sir!"
…
"Sir, the wind bird is reporting urgently!"
As soon as the messenger left, a messenger ran over holding a cylinder that had just been taken off the bird's feet. The wax-sealed cylinder was painted red, which was obviously an urgent message.
Thor did not dare to delay and immediately took out the letter from the cylinder. As soon as the letter was spread out, Thor immediately changed color...
