"Open the shield!" Intermediate wizard Calder ordered again when he saw fewer and fewer Peak orcs.
His understanding of the orcs' tactics let him know that the next step would be the crazy 'corpse explosion' of the priests. This would be a test of the Miracle Wall's defense array, and the two divine archers holding onto the Miracle Wall were based on this consideration.
Sure enough, twenty orc priests in black robes quickly approached on their mounts and had already caught up with the last of the Peak orcs. It seemed that they did not care about the life or death of these Peak orcs at all.
Before all the Peak orcs are dead, they start to use 'corpse explosion'. Then these last Peak orcs who rush forward will not die in the hands of humans, nor will they die in a suicide attack against the Miracle Wall. Instead, they will die in the 'corpse explosion' of these black-robed priests.
At this time, the two archers were already standing next to the two huge war machines covered with coats. Next to each archer were two great ice knights, nervously watching the possible attacks outside the Miracle Wall.
"Manuel, let's see who among us has more kills today!" Although Hector, the sharp archer, was old, he was full of energy. He said to another sharp archer, Manuel, who was ten meters away from him. said loudly.
"Hector, how can you, this old guy, be my opponent? I'll bet you a bottle of good wine!" Manuel the Archer said with a laugh. At this time, he also forgot about his white hair.
The coat on the war machine was torn off, revealing the huge war crossbows. These two war crossbows were much larger than ordinary crossbows.
"Use this big guy again!" Hector laughed and said while stroking the War City Crossbow.
The prefix of the word war means that the items following it serve the purpose of war, and every item prefixed with war is extremely precious.
Today's weather is already gloomy, and we have been fighting for almost a day and night. It is the darkest morning of the day. The sun does not appear. Only the lighting array on the miracle wall emits a strong light. This makes the orcs Attacking against the light becomes more difficult.
The work of loading the crossbows will not be done by two sharp archers. After all, they are already old. Next to each sharp archer, there are two powerful knights who specially load the crossbow arrows for them.
Hector the Archer stood behind the giant war crossbow. At this time, the crossbow was loaded and the huge runner had pulled the string to the firing position.
His eyes have not faded with age, but have become sharper as time goes by. His calloused hands gently move the war crossbow, and his feet step on the activator, ready to activate the second wave at any time. A crossbow arrow.
He heard the sound of a bowstring and a sound of breaking through the air, and he knew that it was his old friend Manuel the Archer who made the first move.
However, this did not affect his aiming process. His hands were still very steady. For a moment, his eyes froze, and then he stepped hard on his feet, and the same sound of bowstrings and the subsequent sound of breaking through the air were heard.
The two crossbow arrows were in tandem, and they were inconspicuous among the arrows that were constantly flying. The most important thing was that the lighting array on the Miracle Wall was directed at the orcs, which made it difficult for the advancing orcs to see the incoming arrows. of arrows.
The crossbow flew a long distance, and a black-robed priest riding a warg was approaching the Miracle Wall. As long as he got within 200 meters, he could activate the 'Corpse Explosion' and exert its maximum power.
It's almost there, he said secretly in his heart, and the sudden heart palpitations made his hair stand on end, but the body's warning came too late. A crossbow arrow pierced his body and penetrated into the pile of corpses at his feet.
The moment he fell, he saw his other companion who was also hit by a crossbow arrow and fell to the ground.
There was neither sadness nor joy in the eyes of Hector the Archer. When he entered the state, he was as accurate and ruthless as a machine.
The two powerful knights loaded the crossbows for him again, and his war city crossbow started to rotate again.
At this time, more than a dozen black-robed priests had arrived within 200 meters of the Miracle Wall. Four black-robed priests died in the hands of divine arrows, while only one was shot dead by other knights using crossbows.
On the one hand, the orc priests who came to perform 'Corpse Explosion' were all very experienced and agile orc priests. Coupled with the speed of their mounts, it was quite difficult to snipe them from a distance.
On the other hand, it also reflects the importance of the Archer for defense. With the existence of the Archer, the strong ones among the orcs will have some scruples when intending to approach the Miracle Wall.
More than a dozen black-robed priests already knew about the existence of the divine archers, but they had already received military orders. In such a war, anyone's life would be like a straw, even for priests like them.
If they return without completing the mission, then the same military law awaits them. Going forward is death, and going backward is also death. They chose to complete the mission forward.
Before this war, all the orcs knew a piece of news, a news that made them desperate. If the mission to seize the Miracle Wall failed, most of them and their families would starve to death.
The Miracle Wall is their only hope. Capture the Miracle Wall to obtain human resources.
It is rumored that there is countless food and weapons in Miracle City. A weak and infighting race like humans occupies the richest land in the entire Holy Continent, while the brave orcs who are brave and good at fighting are guarding the poor and cold land, struggling to survive. .
The only thing standing in front of the orcs is the Miracle Wall. As long as the Miracle Wall is occupied, everything will change.
The sound of 'corpse explosions' sounded, and the huge Miracle Wall shield was constantly shaking. As the number of 'corpse explosions' increased, the shaking became more and more obvious.
Hector's Archer and Manuel's Archer cleared away the black-robed priests who were casting spells one by one in the light of the explosion, and the black-robed priests who stopped in place due to casting spells were also attacked by other city crossbows at the same time.
In two minutes, a deathly silence suddenly appeared on the Miracle Wall. All the black-robed priests died on the battlefield, and the shield of the Miracle Wall had lost more than half of its energy.
This dead silence did not last long. Countless oxcarts appeared from the orc battlefield. These oxcarts were very crude, and many of them could barely pull.
These oxcarts are the result of collecting almost all the oxcarts in the entire Orc Empire. The task of the oxcart is to pull the stones and stop 250 meters away from the Miracle Wall, then unload the stones, and then the oxcart returns. , and then head back again.
Four hundred meters away, dozens of black-robed priests were standing there, ready to trigger a 'corpse explosion'. The corpses of the Peak orcs everywhere provided them with a large amount of casting materials.
The intermediate wizard Calder knew what the orcs were doing, but he had no way to do it because the orcs pulling the cart were just ordinary orcs, and only the city crossbow could reach the distance of 250 meters.
If a city crossbow is used to attack the orcs pulling carts, no matter how many ordinary orcs die, it will have no impact on the orc empire, and the crossbow arrows fired may be recovered by the orcs.
At the same time, intermediate wizards cannot go to cast spells, because the black-robed priests four hundred meters away are waiting for the appearance of human intermediate wizards. These black-robed priests do not care about hundreds or even thousands of ordinary orcs dying.
As long as it can kill an intermediate wizard and weaken the protective power of the Miracle Wall, it is cost-effective to kill as many ordinary orcs as possible.
The orcs used stones to build a high platform 250 meters away from the Miracle Wall.
A steady stream of stones were piled up, and the middle was filled with soil. This was a war platform, a way to siege the city. By building a platform that was the same as the city wall, you could gain the same attack advantage as the city wall.
The premise is that there must be countless logistical forces to transport these materials and protect the building from being attacked.
And the orcs did it, they built the high platform under the eyes of humans, while humans could only watch from the Miracle Wall.
Of course, humans are not completely helpless. No matter how high the platform is, the weapons levels of the two races are still too different. When the war machines are fully activated, no matter what large war machine appears on the platform, humans will be confident to destroy it.
"Don't let the orcs build too easily, let the trebuchet attack for five rounds, otherwise our morale will be affected!" Calder, an intermediate wizard, had a different perspective from others, and he ordered in a deep voice.
