"Sir, the beastmen are catching up with us, and they are only 3 kilometers away from us. What do you think we should do?" After slowly retreating to a place less than 2 kilometers away from the canyon, several magicians who were monitoring the rear came over in a panic. From their eyes, I could see the fear and worry in their hearts.
"What should we do? Retreat!" There is nothing much to say. Based on the current strength comparison, unless my magician army wants to be completely wiped out, this is the only way waiting for us.
Following my order, the entire army of 60,000 people rushed to the city wall like a tide, and the magicians no longer cared about their dignity and manners. At this time, behind us, there was a thunderous sound of cavalry charging, and even the earth was rumbling and shaking.
At this moment, while I was running away frantically, I was shouting in my heart, "Hold on..." "Hold on..." Because at this moment, if my ambushers panic and attack the orc cavalry as the main force of this battle, then the magic crystal cannon following those cavalry will destroy the built fortress and the newly built fortress in the whole canyon like shooting at targets.
"Order, all troops will be stationed immediately after reaching the city wall, and cooperate with the troops in the fortress to resist the orcs..." Feeling the rumbling sound behind me, I ran while using the amplification magic to convey my orders to the magicians around me. In my heart, I was silently praying that my plan to lure the enemy would not have an unfortunate ending.
At this time, bursts of fire suddenly appeared in the entire fortress, followed by a large number of dull rumbling sounds, which made me feel much more at ease. It seemed that the magic cannons on the fortress had begun to launch fierce artillery fire on the orc cavalry that entered the range. For a moment, the originally orderly hoofbeats that were getting closer and closer behind me immediately became chaotic, and all kinds of screams mixed with the explosions of magic cannon shells made the back chaos.
After running the last few dozen meters, I immediately ordered the magicians who arrived first to guide the magicians who were already running out of breath, so that they could join the battle as soon as possible. At the same time, I also felt a little regretful for ordering the entire wind magician unit at the mouth of the canyon to help the ambushed troops retreat. If there was a whole division of wind magicians, why would my more than 50,000 magicians run so awkwardly? They could just use flying magic to safely and quickly distance themselves from the orc troops.
After hastily organizing the resistance front and handing over the command to Victor, I finally had the opportunity to take a clear look at the orc army that was chasing me. . . . .
"Damn!" I couldn't help cursing after taking a look. No wonder they were so fierce and so fast. It turned out that the ones chasing us were the largest and fastest wolf cavalry in the beast tribe. Looking at the hundreds of thousands of wolf cavalry not far away, my heart couldn't help but tighten.
In the first round, in order to destroy tens of thousands of magicians here, the beastman leader who performed well in the early stage actually sent out such a large number of wolf cavalry at once, which simply frightened me. Whether the opponent was going all out or it was a normal surprise attack, this became the focus of my consideration.
If it was a gamble, then the beastman leader was a madman. After all, in a canyon area like this, the enemy had the advantage of terrain. It was simply courting death to rashly send out the only elite field force. And if he didn't take the 100,000 wolf cavalry seriously, then the enemy's strength... or the military strength was really too terrifying.
"All troops must attack continuously. There must not be any pause at all attack levels. Long-range attack troops must use large-scale magic to cover the attack. All wolf cavalry that appear at close range must be eliminated with single-target attack magic..." After reorganizing the troops, Victor was now using his strengths, which was group magic warfare in head-on confrontations.
Looking at Victor's calm command, I was the most depressed at this moment. Facing an opponent that I didn't fully understand, I could only rely on part of my ability to deal with it. This was a completely restrained feeling. If I could dispatch the 6th Division of the Flame Legion, if I could make all the tools and weapons I had used in previous battles, then why should I be afraid of those brainless orcs? Under the threat of a large number of long-range attack weapons with fast movement capabilities, I didn't believe that those orcs could withstand the long-term harassment of my troops!
"Hold on, hold on. As long as we can withstand the charge of the wolf cavalry, we will win today..."
Just as I was daydreaming, Victor's roar brought my thoughts back to reality. Starting from 500 meters in front of us and extending to nearly 2 kilometers in the distance, it was almost a sea of blood. Under the joint attack of 300 magic cannons and nearly 200,000 magicians on the city walls, countless wolf cavalrymen were completely paving a bloody road to the bottom of the city wall. At such a high speed, their soldiers had to pay tens of thousands of lives for every meter they advanced. Coupled with the huge lethality of magic attacks, all wolf cavalrymen would be torn to pieces by various magics as soon as they entered the range of magic attacks...
Soon, there were horn sounds coming from behind the wolf cavalry. Then, the wolf cavalry that tried to attack us magicians under the city immediately turned around and retreated to their sides and rear in two groups.
“Sir, they retreated... They retreated... We won...” Unable to contain the joy of victory, and even more unable to resist the excitement of being free from the threat of death, a large number of high-level magicians including Victor rushed forward, shouting and congratulating me excitedly...
"Shut up... Shut up, keep attacking those wolf cavalry. We must stop them, or at least stop them from supporting their main force... Victor, order the entire army to continue attacking the wolf cavalry. All magicians who can fly independently take off to attack those wolf cavalry. Order the magic cannons on the fortress to continue attacking the wolf cavalry troops that have not yet left their range..." Restraining my anxiety, I issued a series of orders in succession. I was really worried about the troops that ambushed the main force of the orcs.
After ascending into the air, I was relieved about the troops that had been ambushing on both sides of the fortress in accordance with my orders. Looking at the large group of warriors ascending into the air, I was relieved to order the magician troops to attack casually for a while and then return to the fortress. (To be continued)
