On the tall city wall, corpses were left strewn across the ground. Most of them were orcs or humans. The brutal fighting had made the soldiers on both sides a little numb. It seemed that life had no meaning on this battlefield, including
their own.
Under the orders of the officers, the human soldiers continued to push various siege equipment closer to the city wall, while the orcs clung to the city wall without taking a step back.
A large pot of hot oil was poured down, a torch was lit, and a human ladder was instantly swallowed up by the fire. The ladder was not fully fireproofed like a well. It was quickly burned to pieces after being poured with oil.
Naturally, the human soldiers who were climbing on the ladder were not spared. They turned into several human-shaped torches on the ladder, and then rolled off the ladder with a crash and fell to the ground.
The lucky ones fell to the ground and ended their pain. The unfortunate ones were not killed immediately after falling to the ground. They were still rolling and struggling on the ground, and the shrill screams were terrifying. But on this battlefield, this
The screams could no longer attract any attention, and the louder sounds of fighting quickly covered up their screams.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
On the human side, the long-range suppression on the wells has never stopped for a moment. These tall wells are higher than the walls of Watch City. In addition to hiding soldiers, the top of the wells is also a natural arrow tower.
, a dozen archers and two crossbows were attacking the orcs on the city wall almost constantly, trying to suppress the orcs above.
Ordinary arrows are okay. As long as they are not particularly unlucky, the heavy armor on the orcs can effectively resist them. However, the giant arrows inspired by the bed crossbow are not something that ordinary heavy armor can resist. This kind of attack can be hit on the city wall.
The big killer weapon that flew away some stone fragments would basically leave a bloody hole in the body of the orcs. Even the orcs at the warrior level could not resist it head-on. Only the orcs at the great warrior level could react in time and split the giant arrow apart.
However, in the whole scene, the orcs still have the upper hand. Although there are many humans, the orcs are strong individually and have the advantage of defending the city. In addition, Thor has not yet gone into battle in person. At this time, the orcs can defend it quite easily. Even the warrior camp
They haven't been transferred yet and have been waiting for Sol.
Under the watch city, in the human camp
Thor, wearing a simple and heavy armor, was standing in front of a group of knights and looking into the distance, as if waiting for something.
Although Sol looked calm at this time, he was already a little anxious.
It stands to reason that the West March Army should have arrived. Duke Ross and his elite troops successfully bypassed the rapids and rushed all the way to the center battlefield. Today they should go around to the rear of Watch City. Thor has been waiting for the arrival of the West March Army.
In Saul's view, as soon as the Western Army arrives and cooperates with the main force on the front, it is inevitable to capture Watch City. However, for some unknown reason, such elites as the Western Army missed the deadline.
Sol, who was a little anxious because the Western Army had not arrived, couldn't help it anymore and ordered to the soldiers on the side:
"Let Knight Harvey cross the Watch City to see what's going on with the Western Army."
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers who received the order quickly ran towards the center of the camp, and the surrounding soldiers tried their best to make way for them.
These messengers who have been waiting by Saul's side have quick legs and are dressed in light military uniforms that are different from other soldiers. They are responsible for the task of conveying military orders at close range.
Knight Harvey is not an ordinary knight, but one of the five major dragon knights in the kingdom. He is also one of the strongest dragon knights besides Thor. Not to mention that his mount is a golden dragon, and he also successfully changed from a dragon knight some time ago.
A peak knight advanced to become an earth knight, and when combined with the golden dragon, he was able to fight against high-level warriors in the sky.
The golden dragons except Asuo were unwilling to participate in the siege, so Suo sent them to find out the location of the Western Army, which was a good use of their resources.
Although the combat power of the orc Bat Knight is several notches lower than that of the Griffin Knight and the Silver Pegasus Knight in Richard's hands, it actually has some advantages in combat power compared to the human Sword Eagle Knight, and the number is also larger.
In order to convey the news quickly, I simply wanted to send a dragon knight directly to check.
But before Harvey took off, a wind bird fell into the camp. The soldier took down the letter and handed it over. As soon as Thor opened the letter, his expression changed drastically and he immediately changed his order.
"Let the four dragon knights go to support Duke Ross, and the knight battalion will attack the city with me!"
"Yes, sir!"
Why did the orc reinforcements appear so quickly and actually collide with the Western Army that was preparing to attack Watch City? It was not that Thor had not done any work when he sent out troops. He still had some idea of the forces that the orcs could use in a short period of time on the front line of Watch City.
As you know, the Northern Route Army threatened the Orc King's capital before, holding back at least three to four hundred thousand orcs. The orcs on the southern route in Rapid City were tricked by Duke Ross and couldn't get over for the time being. The orcs need to mobilize more
The military strength would not come out so quickly. Thor launched the attack before the orcs mobilized to eliminate the defenders of the orc cities. The orc reinforcements should not have come so quickly.
Unless the orcs ignore threats from other directions and fight against humans with all their might...
Because of the backwardness in intelligence, Thor didn't even know that the grassland centaur tribe bordering the orcs had reached peace with the orcs under the operation of Adelillo. More than 500,000 orcs came to support them, and they just happened to be with Ross.
The Western Border Army collided with each other.
Although he still didn't know the specific situation, Thor could still tell in his heart the word "critical". The Western Army was in big trouble. Without any hesitation, Thor sent out four giant dragons who had been unwilling to participate in the siege.
Go with the knights to support the Western Army.
In addition to being surprised by the appearance of this orc army, Thor also felt a little bit scared. Fortunately, the Western Army arrived in time and blocked the orc army. Otherwise, if they suddenly joined the battlefield, the consequences would be disastrous.
But now, the situation has returned to the previous deadlock. Thor led the selected knight battalion and elite soldiers to once again rush to the front line to launch a fierce attack on Watch City...
…
…
Fifty miles northeast of Watch City, before the galloping Western Army could join Thor's main army, they collided with the orc army coming for reinforcements.
At this time, only the vanguard of the orc army was fighting against the Western Border Army. There were ten legions of more than 200,000 troops, which was slightly smaller than the Western Border Army.
However, the combat power of orcs is much higher than that of humans. Even the Western Army, which is known for its elite, has a very difficult time facing an orc army with a similar number.
Fortunately, the Western Army that arrived were all cavalry with one man and two horses. Compared with the orc army, they were more flexible and able to deal with each other. However, even the Duke of Ross, who was used to seeing life and death, frowned a little because of the heavy casualties.
"Order Adil to retreat. This orc army is also elite and cannot break through so easily."
"Yes, sir!"
Soon a golden sound sounded from the human side, and the soldiers fighting on both sides gradually broke away from contact.
"Your Majesty the Duke! I have already found the weakness of the orcs, and I am almost able to break through. Why do I have to retreat?"
"The weak point? The orcs have such a strong force, why would they leave a weak point for you to break through? It's a trap!"
"As soon as you rush in, the orcs with seemingly scattered wings will definitely surround you, making it impossible for you to escape even with your wings."
"this…"
"Then, Lord Duke, how are we going to break through the orcs' obstruction?"
"Breakthrough the obstruction? We can only wait for Sir Thor to find a way. This orc army has blocked the main road one step ahead of us. It may be difficult for us to break through the opponent's obstruction."
"Where's Master Thor?"
"Lord Thor, here are some dragon knights for support. We can try to launch a full-scale attack."
"What about us now?"
"Send two legions to continue to patrol the two wings looking for opportunities. Don't take the initiative to attack for the time being. Wait for our dragon..."
"Roar!"
Before Rose could finish his words, a huge dragon roar interrupted his words. Listening to this familiar roar, a hint of surprise appeared on Adil's face. When the dragon appeared, it was undoubtedly one of his own.
However, Ross quickly discovered that something was wrong. The kingdom's dragon knights were still south of Watch City. Even if they were to come for support, they should come from the south. This voice clearly came from the north.
"Roar!"
More intensive dragon roars sounded.
Adil also realized something was wrong at this time. The two of them looked up to the north at the same time. What kind of support was there? It was obviously a ferocious white dragon. The possible white dragon that Saul mentioned in the intelligence was actually looking for him first.
Joined the Western Border Army...
With the appearance of the white dragon, the orc army that was still on the defensive quickly began to change its formation, and seemed to be preparing to launch an attack...
"Ready to fight!"
A look of shock and despair appeared on Adil's face, but he quickly understood and raised the sword in his hand...
Duke Ross, who had not drawn his sword all the way, also drew his sword from his waist and looked at the dozens of white dragons approaching on the horizon. The situation suddenly entered the most dangerous situation...
