Ryan looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction. With 5,000 people defending a 5-kilometer city wall, the current results should be very good. He secretly estimated the time in his heart. His own military camp not far away was already brightly lit, and the soldiers were running with all their strength. The footsteps are getting closer and closer. As long as we persist for a few more minutes, we should be able to repel these damn guys.
At this time, a jet-black feather arrow was shot at Ryan from outside the wall of Thunder God Fortress. Ryan was busy checking the enemy's situation and did not notice the sneak attack. He was shot by the feather arrow without any suspense. Along with the jet-black arrow, As the feather arrow passed through, Ryan's last mirror was shattered. Ryan was shocked. He quickly looked along the place where the feather arrow came from, but he didn't find out who shot it, so he could only estimate the approximate distance. position, reciting a fireball spell,
However, before Ryan's spell was completed, another jet-black feathered arrow streaked across the dark night sky, shooting towards Ryan silently. The jet-black arrow shaft completely merged into the dark night, and only the arrow made a sound when it broke through the air. It caught Ryan's attention, but it was already too late. Under the spotlight, this jet-black arrow almost hit Ryan's chest.
At this critical moment, a thick layer of stone skin appeared on Ryan's body. It was the protective magic he instinctively sent out. This stone skin technique also saved Ryan's life. The black feather arrow hit hard on the On Ryan's stone skin, with the impact point as the center, the entire stone skin was instantly exposed to large cracks, and Ryan's chest hurt, and his body staggered back quickly, and suddenly fell on the ground. on the ground,
Ryan was lying on the cold ground, with severe pain in his chest. He didn't know how badly he was injured, but Ryan resisted the pain and got up desperately. Allen mostly knelt next to Ryan, took Ryan's hand, and then He pressed his hand lightly on Ryan's chest a few times and whispered, "I'm so lucky that the arrow didn't go in."
Ryan gritted his teeth in pain at this moment, and two words almost popped out from between his teeth: "Morale." Allendo understood immediately. He helped Ryan stand up and shouted loudly: "Magic Ryan is okay. , kill all these despicable guys."
The human soldiers and mercenaries saw with their own eyes the feather arrow that shot Ryan to the ground. Many people thought that Ryan had been attacked by the orcs and had been killed on the spot. However, Ryan quickly stood up again with the help of his companions, and if he looked carefully, he stood up again. At first glance, there was no blood on Ryan's chest that was supposed to be shot.
Ryan knew that he must not show any weakness at this time. He gritted his teeth tightly, resisted the severe pain in his chest, and silently recited the fireball spell. He had to admit that after the chest injury, the severe pain It did affect Ryan's spellcasting. It took a full ten seconds for Ryan to complete this fireball technique that usually only takes 2 or 3 seconds to complete.
"Boom." Another wooden ladder was blown apart by Ryan's fireball technique. The spreading magic flames swept in several orcs carrying the wooden ladder, and this magic once again boosted the morale of the human defenders. The magician It's okay, he is still supporting us. Is there anything more exciting than this
Originally, the 5,000 human troops were unable to fully take care of the entire defense line in defense. Fortunately, with Ryan's magical support, they were able to maximize their morale and allow everyone to fight the enemy bravely. Some of the humans around Ryan were even mobilized to support other weaklings. place, but after Lane was sneak attacked by the orc archers, the already unstable human defense line immediately showed signs of collapse. Orcs had already climbed onto the city wall in many places and began hand-to-hand combat.
Unexpectedly, Ryan was not injured in this sneak attack. This definitely dealt a severe blow to the orc warriors and greatly inspired the human defenders. Alan Duo asked Xiaobai to guard Ryan, and he took " "Sharp Claw", he roared and rushed towards the orc warriors who climbed up.
Allendo has not transformed, but his speed in human form is enough to surprise people. The sharp steel claws deflected the weapons swung by the orcs, and then stabbed directly into the vital points of the orcs, bringing up a wisp of blood mist. Before he fell, Allendo had already quickly left and ran towards the next enemy. When the second enemy was killed by Allendo, the previous orc corpse fell straight to the ground, and Ryan still fell from time to time. Release magic missiles to assist Allendo. After all, the enemy and us are intertwined on the city wall. It is really difficult to accurately calculate and grasp the power of the fireball. Besides, the power of Ryan's own "missile burst" magic should not be underestimated. It can also be used in Kill several people at the same time,
With the efforts of Ryan and Alando, the human defenders near them showed their might and drove down all the orc soldiers who had attacked the city wall. However, at this moment, more orc soldiers had climbed up in other places. Seeing that the situation was critical, Ryan covered his chest with one hand and said to Alando in a muffled voice: "One person, one person."
Before Allen could answer, everyone heard the sound of footsteps that were louder than before. A large group of human spearmen and sword and shield soldiers swarmed up the city wall, and a majestic voice shouted: "Come on, boys, take the Get rid of these green-skinned bastards."
The uniform spearmen and sword and shield soldiers formed an attack formation in perfect harmony. They were divided into groups of 12 people. The first two rows were six sword and shield soldiers holding their shields high, while the last two rows were warriors holding spears.
The sword and shield warriors raised their shields to form a shield wall, and slowly pushed towards the orcs who were climbing up. The orcs swung their axes and slashed hard at them, but they could only hit the shield, and the orcs behind the sword and shield warriors The spear warrior can thrust out the spear in his hand hard and give the orc a heart-breaking blow.
The huge advantage in numbers of human reinforcements quickly cleared the city wall and suppressed the attacking orcs back under the city wall. When nearly 30,000 human soldiers stood on the edge of the city wall, the entire defense line became impregnable. Coupled with the 10,000 archers who followed and the overwhelming rain of arrows, humans have taken control of the situation.
When the last orc was shot to the ground by more than a dozen feather arrows, the orc's night attack was a complete failure. It must be said that the time chosen by the orc was very good. If it had been earlier, it would have been difficult to sneak in so close. , after all, they have to wait until the sun sets before they can set off, and they must be careful along the way. The arrow forest and corpses on the ground, and human detection will also restrict their forward speed. If it is later, it will be midnight when defense is usually the worst. , that time was the period when the defenders of Thunder God Fortress were most defensive.
But in any case, the orcs' plan failed. To everyone's surprise, the 5,000 human warriors who kept vigil persisted until the arrival of the reinforcements. This caught both parties by surprise. General Clark soon learned the details. , I understood that the biggest contributor tonight was the young magician in front of me,
"You are the mercenary who went deep into Beast Blood Castle." As the frontline commander, General Clark certainly knows a lot of things.
"Haha, yes, that's what my friends and I did together." Ryan rubbed his chest lightly and replied,
Seeing this, General Clark asked with concern: "What's wrong with your chest? Are you injured? Do you want someone to treat you?"
Before Ryan could answer, a mercenary next to him interrupted with the black arrow: "Hey, General, Ryan just got hit by an arrow in the battle, but it's so amazing that nothing happened to him. "
"Ah." General Clark was shocked when he heard this. He looked at the thumb-thick feather arrow in the mercenary's hand, and then looked at Ryan. The latter was only wearing ordinary linen clothes. It was absolutely impossible to wear anything with strong defense. How could his armor be able to defend against that kind of feather arrow? Could it be that this is the power of a magician
"Report to General." A squad leader quickly came to General Clark and reported loudly: "The results of the battle are calculated. Our army has 1,733 killed, 676 seriously injured, and 1,810 lightly injured. There are about 5,000 orcs in the orc attack force. Because it’s too dark, specific data may not be available until daybreak.”
General Clark was silent. This vigil force was basically disabled, but they could withstand a similar number of orcs attacking. Maybe they could discuss with General Keenster to let this force form an independent army. Maybe through the recruitment and training of soldiers, we can develop an elite force.
Although based on General Clark’s understanding of the situation, this improvised force was able to block the orc attack because of Ryan, but as a general commanding tens of thousands of troops, General Clark believed that maybe with a few or a dozen people In a battle, the magic of a magician can have a certain advantage, but when thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers are fighting, what use can a small magician play? Could he still release the forbidden spell? If the battle The victory or defeat all depends on the magicians, so what else do we need soldiers like them to do
However, some superficial things still need to be done. General Clark said to Lane: "In order to commend your merits, you can make your own requests. As long as they are within my ability, I can satisfy you."
Ryan began to answer almost immediately: "My friends and I requested to join the front-line army and do our best to defend against the orcs' attack."
General Clark didn't expect that Lane would actually make this request. He thought it was just a request for money or some power at most. "This..." General Clark hesitated for a moment. After carefully weighing it, he finally made up his mind. Anyway, it was just a request. There are only a few people, and in this situation, it is more appropriate to agree to Ryan's request than to refuse.
"Okay, Ryan, you and your friends should go and have a good rest first. From tomorrow on, you will be my soldiers."
