Chapter 266 Guarding the Holy City 2
``
"Sir, they have already laid rafts on the big trench. Do you think we can start now?" When the orc troops rushed to the trench outside the city wall in large numbers and began to lay rafts to cross the bridge, Victor could not contain his excitement. He looked at a group of magicians who were staying under the city wall, carefully holding a silver thread, and asked me in a low voice.
"Don't worry, just knock down as many rafts as possible, so that more orcs will gather in front of the trench... I think this will bring us more gains..."
While smiling sinisterly, I reminded Victor that as long as the orcs in front could not pass through the big trench, not only would the orcs in front be unable to rush over, but the orcs following behind would also have to squeeze together with their forerunners.
In this way, the density of the orc troops gathered in front of the trench will ensure that the work of thousands of my subordinates for several consecutive days will not be in vain.
After hearing what I said, while the defenders of the Holy City were still trying to think about something, Victor's eyes suddenly lit up. After waking up, he quickly commanded a large number of subordinates to run to various positions on the city wall, trying to do their best to stop the orcs from passing through the trench.
As time went by, under the full efforts of the magicians of the Kingdom of Yan, the 8-meter-wide trench became a natural barrier for the orcs, and they could not move forward. However, the orc troops coming from behind kept increasing...
"Victor, it's almost time, let them do it! I think we can have some fun..." Seeing that the orcs had already exceeded the ambush circle, I nodded with satisfaction and whispered to Victor. After hearing the order, the latter immediately gestured to the wall behind him, and then immediately ran back to his position, fearing that he would miss the good show at that moment.
After Victor gave the order, a strong wave of magic came from behind us. Then, from the trench outside the city wall, it stretched back two hundred meters and was several kilometers wide, like a volcanic eruption, instantly sending all the orcs in that area flying into the sky...
"Damn it... How... How could this happen? This... This..." Looking at his large number of troops flying in the air like clouds, and then landing on the battlefield in a bloody rain, the fox clan leader, the beast king, was terrified. If there was a way to regret now, he would probably rather exchange it for the large piece of land he occupied. Including the clan leaders of other orcs who came to watch the battle, all the orcs opened their mouths in horror after seeing this scene, and they could no longer say anything. This scene was beyond the scope of the orcs' brains.
At this time, the orcs who were charging on the battlefield were undoubtedly the most painful and confused. After seeing this abnormal scene, they completely lacked the courage to move forward. As for retreat, the first reform of the army after the new beast king was to implement the order from top to bottom to the entire orc army, so they did not dare to retreat without orders. But at this moment of uncertainty, when the orc warriors were still thinking about the two words before and after, after being shocked by the scene before them, the human troops who woke up first had resumed continuous bombardment, bombarding the orc troops and causing them to flee in all directions. . . . . .
When the orc leaders came to their senses and saw this strange phenomenon on the battlefield, in just a few minutes, the orc warriors who were unable to advance or retreat on the battlefield suffered huge losses. Hundreds and thousands of magic shells were poured into the orc army, making the crying and wailing on the battlefield immediately surpass the momentum of the orcs' charge.
"The First Division of the God's Legion, attack!" Seeing the orcs in chaos, I immediately gave the order to attack. At the same time, the archers of the First Division immediately jumped onto the soft bag that the city guards had dropped from the city wall to the outside of the city, and quickly landed on the foundation of the city wall, using their ultra-long-range flat shooting ability to start attacking those orcs.
After all, on the wall, because of the rafts, the success rate of arrows penetrating the rafts and then attacking the orcs below was definitely not much better than using a shotgun to shoot down a jet plane. For a moment, the orcs' first round of offensive was undoubtedly disintegrated. Only the wounded lying in front of the orc camp and the orcs who were blown into meat paste by the large number of magic scrolls and magic shells buried in front of the trenches became witnesses of this battle.
"Hahaha, this is really an extraordinary battle! Lord Shen really treats the orcs as his own poultry, killing and cooking them however he wants... I don't think the orcs will dare to attack today, right? Otherwise, their remaining million troops will be wiped out outside the city wall in just a few rounds..."
Looking at the piles of meat paste outside the trench and the orc corpses scattered all over the ground, the defender of the holy city could no longer contain his excitement. He and several officials surrounded me and kept boasting to me. The defender even personally moved a chair for me to rest.
"Not bad, we probably killed more than 100,000 this time, right? It's a pity that this method of pre-burying magic mines can only be used once. Otherwise, we only need to bury a few more lines of defense and we won't be afraid of the invasion of those orcs." I sighed to myself while commanding a team of magicians to go to the front to repair the trenches collapsed by magic mines.
"Sir, as long as you are here, we can all feel at ease. If we are asked to choose between a few such solid lines of defense and you, I think everyone will choose you to command our battles, rather than those dead lines of defense... Look, what are those orcs doing? With so few people, what are they going to do?"
Just as I was listening to Victor's words without making any comment, his next words caught my attention. So I immediately stood up from my chair and quickly took out the telescope to observe the situation outside. Since I am now equipped with some simple and crude telescopes in the army, I no longer use the telescope I brought from Earth secretly, and I can put it in a conspicuous place without worrying about it.
