However, the fanatical orc warriors seemed to turn a blind eye to the hanging corpses of their companions. They tried hard to stand firm on the swaying ground, and then continued to move forward as much as possible. Those sharp conical stone pillars only had the power when they penetrated the ground. A considerable threat. Once stabbed, the body will be pierced directly. However, if these stone pillars have completely risen from the ground, they will be nothing more than obstacles to the orc warriors.
The high-level magics of Minsk and Sean were indeed very damaging to the orc warriors. The two magics took away the lives of at least seven to eight hundred people, but these hundreds of people were quite large for two orc phalanxes of ten thousand people. A small number, those orc warriors who were blessed with "bloodthirsty" did not care about synchronized life and death at all. In fact, they did not even care about their own life and death. At this moment, these were affected by "Totem Fire Dance" The arriving orc warriors only had the desire to fight in their hearts. They stepped over the deep pits struck by lightning, bypassed the rising stone pillars, and continued to rush towards the human positions.
When these orcs entered an area about 50 meters away from the human position, they were greeted by a large number of low-level magic released by human magicians. Naturally, these low-level magics could not be compared with high-level magic in terms of power, but they used The quantity makes up for the lack of single magic power.
The power of level 7 magic is huge, and the range is naturally much longer, otherwise it will accidentally hurt themselves, so the two magisters Minsk and Sean consciously used those level 7 magic to attack the orcs' follow-up troops and disrupt the orcs' dispatch. Slowing down the speed of their reinforcements, other magicians participating in the attack used a large amount of low-level magic to cover the large open space between the attacking positions. In addition, human ballistae were fired from time to time, penetrating the orcs' bodies in a straight line. Using crossbow arrows, Ryan's troops formed a death zone on the battlefield in front of them.
If the orc troops want to pass through such a death zone, they must brave all kinds of magic bombardments, and they must also pay attention to avoid the crossbow arrows that can penetrate the bodies of several people. If they are unlucky, they will be snatched away by the sudden arrows. When the orc warriors paid a heavy price and stepped onto the position where Lane's troops were stationed, they desperately found that they were facing huge metal shield walls.
These giant shields, which are as tall as a person, stand side by side, leaving only a very small gap between them for the human warriors behind to observe the enemy's situation. If you want to pass these extremely oppressive shield walls, you must first find a way to avoid those who come from behind. The sharp blade of the spear stretched out from behind the human giant shield warrior,
At this moment, the orc warriors standing in front of the human shield wall did not even have time to hesitate, because behind them, more orc warriors who were lucky enough to pass through the death zone came up again. No orc warrior hoped that Another trip to the death zone, so in order to get away from the area that harvested a large number of companions' lives as soon as possible, they desperately pushed the orcs in front of them, and finally forced the crowd to squeeze the companions standing in the front and bumped into the human body. defense line,
Screams came one after another, coming from the orcs who had their bodies penetrated by those spears but were temporarily unable to die because they were blessed with bloodthirsty spells. They waved their weapons helplessly to chop down the gun shafts, only to find that the gun shafts were different from those of the others. It is different from the ones used by other humans. It is made of steel. When struck with a sharp ax, it will only produce a fleeting spark, and it will not damage anything at all.
The human spear warrior retracted the spear with all his strength, and then thrust it out with all his strength again. Another scream sounded. The blood of the orcs burst onto the shield wall, and then flowed along the giant shield to the ground. From time to time, there were human shooters or The magician used the gaps between the giant shields to shoot cold arrows or release magic, while Ryan consciously commanded several giant shields to retreat, deliberately exposing a gap to attract the orcs to attack. Alando and others were personally exposing the gap. Kill the enemy in the neutral position. Of course, you don't have to worry about the orcs taking advantage of the opportunity.
Of course, the orc warriors didn't know this. When they saw a hole suddenly appeared in the perfect human shield wall, they naturally let out a fanatical roar and rushed there desperately, but because the warriors at the front could not pass through Ellendo Waiting for someone to stop them, they crowded together tightly,
When Ryan felt that it was almost the same, he immediately ordered Alando and others to disperse, revealing several ballistae behind them. In such a narrow space, several ballistae were fired at the same time, and it was impossible for the orcs crowded together to escape. , the bowstring rang, and the crossbow arrows as thick as an adult man's thigh shot out, shooting at the orcs with desperate looks in their eyes. Because the orcs were crowded in quite a lot, and the human crossbow arrows had extremely strong penetrating power, they often appeared. Several orcs were impaled on a crossbow arrow, and a huge hole was punched out of their bodies, but they survived for a while. Just like this, under the connection of the crossbow arrow, everyone stood there struggling painfully, exhaling continuously from their mouths. The miserable screams make people shudder when they hear them.
Ryan has never taken action. This is also the first time that he has ventured out of his hometown. Originally, Ryan always fought on the front line and persisted until the end. However, this time he has a heavy responsibility, not only for his subordinates, but also for those under him. The life and death of hundreds of people, as well as the defense of the entire defense line, depended on Lane. Therefore, Lane spent more time observing the situation of both the enemy and ourselves, and issued various orders based on the actual situation, directing his men to respond.
Although the hand-to-hand confrontation only lasted for more than ten minutes, the battle was quite fierce. Because many orc warriors were killed, the corpses of orcs were piled up to the knees outside the shield wall where Ryan was stationed. Originally, they were slightly smaller than the orcs. The giant shield was tall, but because the orcs stepped on the corpses of their companions to attack, it was actually much shorter than the opponent.
Don't underestimate this little height. It makes humans who are already disadvantaged in terms of stature more passive. Moreover, the best direction for spear warriors to exert force is directly in front. If the thrust angle is too high, it will not be conducive to the ideal killing effect. When Ryan saw that Minsk and Sean were sweating profusely on their foreheads, he knew that the magic power of these magicians was about to be exhausted and adjustments must be made. Otherwise, they would not be able to suppress the orcs, and the orcs' offensive would become even more intense. violent,
Ryan knew that when the orcs attacked, because the attack was not as fierce as it is now, when humans repelled their attack, they would immediately clear the position, move the bodies of human warriors to the rear for burial, and dump the orc bodies aside and pour fire on them. Oil burning is also to avoid the occurrence of plague, but now because the orcs' offensive is too fierce, there is no time to do this, so more and more corpses are piled up.
Fortunately, the 300-man troops led by Ryan and the magician troops who came to assist did not suffer any casualties. At most, they were slightly injured by stray arrows, so they still hold on to this day. The human armies on both sides of Ryan have already suffered due to Unable to withstand the impact of the orcs, they slowly evacuated backwards. If no countermeasures were taken, this unit of theirs would soon become a lone army.
Ryan thought quickly and immediately ordered the troops sent by Jonas to assist him in defending to send out manpower to clear the position behind him and build a temporary defense line about 50 meters away from the current position. When this second temporary defense line is completed, , Ryan will send all the magicians at hand up, trying to cause the most violent attack on the orcs in the shortest time, suppressing the orcs' offensive, and then he will command his men to slowly retreat and guard the temporary defense line. To avoid being surrounded by division,
After another ten minutes, the corpses of the orcs were almost piled up to the waist of the human warriors. The temporary defense line behind Ryan was barely completed. Ryan immediately sent out all the magicians, including himself, to take action on his own side. A terrifying magical storm formed in front of the position,
In just 3 minutes, the orcs who rushed to Ryan's position turned into mutilated corpses, lying quietly on the ground. The water mage Melinda even recited a long magic spell, and the orcs' follow-up troops A large water ball composed of water elements formed in the sky above the head. When the magic was completed, the super large water ball burst suddenly, and the light blue liquid sprayed out towards the orcs, blowing a large area of the orcs. get wet,
At first, the orcs felt very comfortable. It was very comfortable to take a cold bath on a hot summer night, but their expressions soon changed, because the light blue liquid that shot out of the water ball began to change rapidly. It was so cold that it turned into solid ice in just ten seconds.
When more than five hundred ice sculptures made of orc warriors appeared in front of everyone, despite the hot weather, everyone still gasped in their hearts. Not all of those orc warriors died. After all, everyone was exposed to the cold weather. The light blue liquid that is condensed from the water element is different. Those who have been wetted a lot have been frozen all over, while those who have only been contaminated with a small amount are only frozen.
Some people may think that these orc warriors with a small amount of contamination are luckier. In fact, for them, they are in more pain. Many orcs themselves have frozen, but the other half of their bodies can still move. This kind of psychological blow is even more severe. Due to physical pain, some orcs struggled hard, but part of their bodies were frozen and lost their activity. When they broke free with too much force, the frozen parts turned into ice shards, and their bodies also turned into Disabled, but what makes people feel desperate is that because their limbs are numb from the cold, they can't feel pain, and there is no bleeding in the parts that lost their limbs. These orcs who broke free looked at their bodies numbly, their minds in chaos. , I don’t know if everything in front of me is reality or a dream,
Seeing that the psychological deterrent caused by Melinda's "rapid cooling" magic had contained the orcs' offensive, Ryan immediately ordered a slow retreat. Soon, Ryan's troops arrived at the temporary defense line and retreated steadily from the original. The friendly forces united together again and formed a new line of defense.
