Chapter 517: The Decisive Battle of Star Lake (18)
As the horn sounded, Luolina immediately put away her thoughts, turned her beautiful eyes, and her bright eyes swept across the entire airspace.
She was very happy to find that even though this extremely brutal war had been going on until now, no necromancer dared to come forward and challenge her magicians in the air.
This proud magician has forgotten, intentionally or unintentionally, that although his magicians have been bombing the ground, no matter who it is, under Lorraine's strict order, no one has ever crossed the battlefield.
That center line.
They have always been active on this side of the human race. And once they encounter an enemy within this range, there is no need to fight. As long as they retreat slightly, they will enter the killing range of Cardinal Hilmeria on the ground.
.
Although the great wizard Udalk is a member of the undead world and has the unique pride of a high-level undead, he is not unkind.
He will never fall for such a clear provocation and trap~!
As for the half-orc shamans, due to the ignorance of the half-orcs, no matter what kind of disaster the orcs suffer, these brats can still be supported by their people, with plenty of fish and meat, wine and beautiful women every day.
Therefore, it is not motivated by progress at all.
Over the past thousand years, there has been almost no development.
In addition, they are closed and backward, with poor communication and strict rules, such as passing on to sons but not to daughters, and passing on to sons but not to daughters-in-law. Therefore, many of their original skills have been lost.
In Lorraine's words, this is in line with the requirements of any race that is willing to fall behind and will inevitably be eliminated.
Up to now, in addition to being good at dancing and selling fake rat medicine, these bastards only have a few loose hands.
They are even less likely to pose a threat to Lorena and others.
Therefore, Lorena, who has defeated no enemies in the sky, is also extremely arrogant.
She stood proudly in the air, like a goddess descending to the world, looking down at the people. Her long hair was constantly fluttering in the breeze, her clothes were fluttering, and she looked like a purple rose blooming in the wind.
Very touching~!
Luolina shouted to the magicians: "Gather~! Come on, it's time for us to perform officially."
As he said that, he looked at the orc military formation in the distance and saw the flags waving there. He snorted disdainfully and then shouted an order to the magicians gathered around him:
"Let's go~! It's our performance time next. If anyone dares to screw it up for me, I will personally send him to the Lost Forest for special death training~!"
All the magicians shuddered at the moment. Do they know that the Lost Forest is a place where monsters are rampant. Although going there is not a dead end, there are very few people who come out alive without becoming crazy.
At this time, Luo Linna's beautiful eyes glanced over again, and they all hurriedly agreed, saying: "I will obey the order of the president~!"
Luolina snorted coldly, then turned around and flew towards the blazing flames on the battlefield.
The other mages didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly followed her and flew over.
While Luolina flew back slowly, she quietly turned back to take a look, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
In order to lure the enemy, he exposed such an obvious flaw, but the necromancer opposite him still resisted and did not attack from behind. What a damn old fox~!
On the ground, Hilmeria watched a group of magicians flying through the sky. Then she looked at the sky opposite and there was still no movement. Not to mention the necromancers, there was not even a bird. Immediately
With a slight sigh, he dismissed the 'Spear of Holy Light' that had been prepared in his hand.
In the Orc army formation, although the great wizard Udalk saw the empty doors behind the magicians, and if he made a move, he would definitely knock down several of them, he still resisted the urge.
stock impulse.
He had suffered a loss once. Although he didn't know where Hilmeria would be hiding, his intuition told him that the other party must be lying in wait for him to take the bait.
Therefore, Mr. Wu Da looked at the magicians in the sky and curled his lips: I am not an idiot, how could I trip over the same stone twice~!
But at the same time, I feel very annoyed that the other party would use such a clumsy strategy to deal with me. Do they think that my majestic undead wizard is so brainless?
Lorena led a group of magicians and returned to the formation.
At this time, due to the obstruction of the fierce fire, the battlefield had fallen into a brief pause.
The Orcs in front of the fire scene had been completely annihilated by the Imperial Legion. The Orcs behind the fire scene found that if they wanted to rush through the raging fire scene, they had to either bypass the gap in the fire. This would only add fuel to the fire.
Tactics can only be eaten up bit by bit by the imperial legions who are waiting for work.
Or, you have to wait for the fire to extinguish. After all, the fire cannot burn forever. As soon as it is extinguished, the orc warriors will rush over again like a tide.
Just now, they had already seen the hope of victory. The brave soldiers had rushed to the imperial army's formation and almost tore through the defense line of the human army.
If there were 5,000 more people at that time, uh... no~! Just 2,000 more people. As long as 2,000 people, if they can successfully fight in and expand the results, then those damn human invaders will be
Defeated myself.
Therefore, even though they had been filing for a while, the clan leaders were still full of confidence and loudly announced to their subordinates: Victory must belong to us, to the warriors of Great God Storn~!
"We can definitely kill all those evil invaders~!"
"At that time, their weapons, food, and tents will all be ours~!"
"We will definitely rob them all and then live a happy and wonderful life~!"
"..."
Under their instigation, the orc warriors kept shouting and roaring towards the human position through the raging fire.
Some impatient guys even started to take action, braving the blazing flames, regardless of the high temperature that could soften the long hair on their bodies, and began to water and cover the ground, hoping to put out the raging fire so that they could kill them as soon as possible.
Kill all those evil humans to avenge their dead compatriots.
But the fire is made of light petroleum as the main fuel, and other things are added to it. Once it burns, it will continue to burn, and it will never be extinguished unless it burns out on its own.
In Lorraine's time, it also had a terrifying name, Greek fire~!
Some scholars and historians even believe that it was one of the reasons why the Byzantine Empire could last for thousands of years.
Its power is so great that according to the account of a Crusader who was injured by Greek fire: "Whenever the enemy attacks us with Greek fire, all we can do is kneel down and pray to God for salvation."
It is said that this kind of flame can be extinguished with urine, vinegar, or sand.
But the fire was so huge that even from a few feet away, you could still feel the overwhelming blazing flames, making it impossible to get close.
No matter how good the kidneys of the orcs were, they would not be able to pee on the fire just a few feet away. Moreover, facing the sea of fire that was burning straight into the sky, even if they wanted to pounce, they did not have that much water source.
What's more, they peed a lot before the war.
This shows that peeing anywhere is really bad~!
As for using jealousy, these orcs can't even eat salt, and their happiness index has reached 99.99%. They are all so poor, how can they be jealous?
Although using sand and soil is also effective, they are on the battlefield and can only handle knives and swords. Who can carry a shovel?
Therefore, facing the rising wall of flames, the orcs could only roar and roar behind the flames, but there was nothing they could do.
On the imperial front, the artillerymen were desperately pouring water on the cannons that had turned red. Buckets of cold water were poured on them, and with a chirp, they instantly turned into a ball of steam and disappeared.
The archers also had tired arms and soreness, and sat on the ground panting heavily.
You must know that although these powerful crossbows are very exciting to shoot and can penetrate solid armor hundreds of steps away, they still require a lot of effort to pull the bowstring.
Under these rounds of high-intensity blows, these guys are gritting their teeth and persisting.
Although they have practiced for a long time, it is estimated that after this battle, many people's arms will hurt for at least three to five days, and some people's fingers have even been bruised and bloody by the bowstring.
They have been able to maintain it until now, but they are already exhausted and have exhausted all their strength to give birth to a son. They have almost reached the point where they have run out of fuel.
If they were asked to strike with such intensity again, they would simply not be able to do it.
During this short gap, commanders at all levels seized the time and quickly reported their respective consumption to Lorraine.
Lorraine looked at the report with a heavy heart and regretted it. Although he had fully foreseen the combat power of these orcs before the war, the consumption was too huge.
More than half of the cannonballs were fired, and nearly 40% of the bows and arrows were consumed. Only a small part of the kerosene tank remained.
The cost of this war is too great.
If it weren't for the Flying Eagle Corporation, the super trust and monopolistic multinational company in this world, as a strong backing, even the financial resources of Naian Province and even half of the empire would not be enough to support such a high-consumption modern war.
.
No wonder everyone now fights with just the number of people. They use hand-to-hand combat. Because the soldiers don’t have the value of those materials at all. Even if they are all dead, they can go back and pick up the small rope and walk around the countryside, and they can pull it again.
Come here and serve as cannon fodder for yourself, there is no need to feel heartache at all.
Supplies, artillery shells, kerosene tanks, grenades... these all need to be measured in gold coins, not to mention long-distance transportation. Although there are no toll stations in the middle, and there are layers of stucks that cost money, but the freight alone is
They are all worth the price of a donkey.
Lord Luo looked at the reports one after another, his heart ached as if someone was picking off his ribs one by one with a vise, and his eyes turned blue.
In anger, he squeezed the reports tightly and glared fiercely at the orcs in the distance. He thought to himself: "You can't blame me for this. You forced me to do this."
At this time, Lorena had already made a circle in the sky, leading a group of magicians directly above the Imperial Legion.
At this time, a brass trumpeter below them immediately puffed up his cheeks and blew the loud horn in his hand.
"Woo~!"
Hearing the horn sound, Lorraine knew that these magicians were already in place, and immediately stood up from his chair.
He stood up and looked at the orcs in the distance, and saw that even though they had suffered such a heavy blow from the Imperial Legion, they still refused to give up. They were still like wild beasts, lingering and roaring behind the blazing fire, like
Like a vicious wolf that only smells blood.
Lorraine couldn't help but secretly thought: It's time to teach them a lesson they will never forget. Otherwise, in another thousand years, these people will still live in ignorance. By that time, once someone comes again, the fate of these orcs will be waiting for them.
, they will definitely be destroyed. Maybe they can only look at their specimens in the museum.
Thinking of this, Lorraine couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then whispered: "Let's start~!"
Following his order, the trumpeter next to him immediately blew the brass horn. The flag bearers also waved the military flags in their hands.
They use these two methods at the same time to ensure that any major command will not cause errors during the delivery process.
The commander of the grenadiers immediately received the order, and he roared loudly and angrily.
Orders were passed quickly from level to level.
Amidst the officers' roars mixed with insults, the grenadiers immediately got busy.
They quickly picked up another kind of jar that was placed next to them, and then carefully placed it on top of their grenades.
At the last command, they pulled the switch and knocked out the jar.
Thousands of cans covered with red cloth were launched into the sky, then drew an arc and fell into the rolling fire.
When the orcs saw it, there was a huge uproar immediately.
These humans are so despicable. Because they dare not fight against the heroic orc warriors, they actually add something to the raging fire, hoping to eliminate the stalemate and avoid fighting, so as to maintain it for a while.
In anger, the half-orc warriors waved their battle ax blades and cursed at the humans through the blazing flames.
"Despicable guy."
"You all should go eat shit."
"Cowardly little bitches~!"
"..."
With such a long distance, and the crackling sound of burning flames rising in the middle, only a few sounds reached the human side.
Lorraine listened to a few words and immediately despised those orcs.
After all, they are a barbaric nation. They can't even say curse words. They can only say a few words over and over again. They are either 'cowards' or 'shit eaters'. They really lose the face of all barbarian peoples who are masters of quarreling.
.
After everyone goes out, they no longer dare to say that they are barbarians with superb skills and many tricks.
But those loud curses annoyed the person next to him.
Although Young Master Leo is young, he has never been a master who suffers losses. He has always bullied others, and he has never been scolded like this.
He immediately shook his little tiger body, waved his little fists, and shouted loudly in the direction of the orcs: "You damn pigs, you have grown up eating shit. You have no brains at all. Even chimpanzees have no brains."
Ten thousand times smarter than you sons of bitches.
Your ancestors must have been a cross between a tortoise and a rabbit, and they were also the product of incest. They were born idiot babies..."
That curse made Wang Zhouxing feel ashamed when he heard it.
Since his voice had not yet changed, his voice was crisp and loud, and it came out clearly.
The imperial military formation was silent for a few seconds, and then everyone burst into laughter.
"Hahaha……"
The laughter was so loud and loud that it completely blocked the orcs' yells and curses.
The orcs didn't hear clearly at first, but then they heard the wild laughter coming from the human race. They felt strange at the moment, and at the same time they became even more angry.
Each one of them stared with blood-red eyes and kept roaring, wishing they could just pass through the flames, then rush in front of the human race and kill them.
In their rage, they did not arrive. Just after the jars were thrown into the fire, the fire did not increase in intensity. Instead, bursts of smoke came out.
At this moment, the second batch of cans thrown by the grenadiers also fell into the fire. Then the smoke became thicker.
Immediately afterwards, the third batch of jars was also thrown in.
Some jars even crossed the fire field and were thrown at the feet of the orcs. The orcs were immediately frightened.
Although they boasted very much, they actually knew how powerful those jars were. During the attack just now, countless companions were burned to death by such jars. Now they have turned into charred corpses in the fire.
.
These guys immediately screamed and backed away, but then they discovered that after the jar shattered, it did not spit out flames, but only a few strange rocks rolled out, and there was also a kind of
Strange odor.
Everyone couldn't help but be curious. They stepped forward to pick up the stone and turned it over and over to examine it.
At this time, the billowing smoke rising above the blazing fire became more intense. Everyone even felt that the flames seemed to have suddenly decreased a lot.
At this time, I saw another batch of cans coming from the opposite side.
But this batch is definitely a batch of fire oil cans.
They fell into the burning flames, and suddenly the flames shot up into the sky, and another burst of flames rose.
The half-orcs could not withstand the blazing heat, so they covered their foreheads with their hands and kept retreating.
Just heard a trumpet sound.
Luo Linna turned around, raised her hand, and ordered loudly: "Let's go, it's up to us now. If you don't want to be laid off, just give me more effort~!"
After saying that, he led a group of magicians, formed a horizontal line, and flew towards the fire scene.
