Chapter 112 The decisive battle at the royal viewing platform (1)
It has been twenty-two days since the orcs launched an attack. As the soldiers of the Barbarian Bear Clan pointed out, the human defense line was repeatedly torn apart. Now the orcs have attacked the central area of Fernando City, and the high royal observation deck in the distance.
Already in sight.
However, it is not smooth for the orcs to fight here. The barbarian bear clan paid at least the price of tens of thousands of soldiers dying on the battlefield, and the other three clans also paid 50,000 casualties together. As for those smaller tribes, many
The elite warriors have been completely wiped out and have to quit the battlefield.
Although the orcs paid a great price, human losses were even more tragic. At least 1.5 million humans were killed in this catastrophe, and more than 2 million people were homeless and had to live in the central area of the imperial capital, whether it was the palace or the nobles.
The houses were filled with ragged refugees.
Since the completion of the city of Fernando, it has been hoarding materials all the time, so even though millions of people are crowded together, humans can barely survive. As long as the orcs plunder the farms, manors and other places outside the city, they will
You can get enough food. Although most orcs make a living by eating meat and do not like wheat and other foods grown by humans, it is absolutely fine to satisfy hunger.
The war has come to this point and there is nothing to say. Persist until victory or being dragged down by the opponent, there is no third way to go. The orcs want to break the imperial capital to consolidate their new occupation in the Nantalun Prairie
The land, and humans must fight to the death, because the Holy Alliance Empire has no actual control in the south and lacks sufficient strategic space. Once the imperial capital falls, these millions of people will be slaughtered by orcs.
It makes people shudder when thinking about the tragic fate.
"Huh!" Dozens of huge rock bombs whizzed through the air. This was an attack launched by orcs. Under such high-density stone throwing attack, the human defenders could no longer form a square formation against the enemy.
This means that it is difficult for humans to use the most effective infantry phalanx to resist orcs to be used.
In order to reduce casualties, a large number of human warriors had to hide in the buildings and rely on the buildings built with stones to defend against the stone bullets thrown by the orcs' stone throwing cart. The stone bullets emitted by the orcs flew into the air for more than ten seconds,
It pierced one head, or hit the building one head, stirring up dust and rebounded to the ground, or penetrated the not-so-solid buildings and landed directly inside the house.
After about twenty stone throwing attacks, the orcs stopped this attack and began to send warriors forward, preparing to take away the human defense line, while the human warriors slowly walked out of the bunker in groups,
Shaking the weapons in his hand, he looked at the orc warriors getting closer and closer with expressionless face.
Since humans lack enough shooters, there is no way to form a suppressive arrow rain attack. Only when the orcs approach and use feather arrows to sneak attack the orcs wearing feathers. Both sides have been fighting for so many days, and humans have done it.
I understand that this feather is a unique mark of the Orc Commander.
However, such sneak attacks are usually not very effective, because orcs are highly valued by force and can be promoted to commanders. Their personal combat effectiveness is far higher than that of others. Even if they are sneak attacked by human shooters, most of them can be the first place.
Time avoids or blocks it directly. Even if you are careless for a moment, being shot by a few arrows will make these strong orc commanders feel unbearable pain, and instead stimulate their ferocity.
When the orcs attacked the human defense line, close forces began to join forces. Humans formed a small-scale square formation and fought to the death with the help of the terrain. The orcs relied on their personal courage to break through. The fierce and unchanging orc attacks during the battle were not the same.
Human defense, from time to time, several orcs form charge formations to break through the human defense line, but they will soon be surrounded by more reinforcements from humans, and then killed by their own numbers. However, these humans will use local numbers.
The advantage of this is that a counterattack was launched to suppress the orcs. However, once the human formation became huge, it would be attacked by throwing stones from the rear of the orcs. Soon, it had to retreat due to heavy losses, so more orcs would use the
This is a breakthrough, and a forced assault is started again.
The battle continued like this, but from the overall perspective, the human defense line was still being eaten by orcs little by little, and the royal viewing platform in the distance became clearer and clearer. The streets were covered with corpses, most of which were human, but
There are also many orcs. Many times, both sides even directly pile up these corpses together to form bunkers as their temporary defense line. The human side has long since disappeared the fear of the beginning of the war, and blood and fire in more than twenty days.
Under the baptism, a large number of human soldiers grew from recruits to veterans. These veterans will be replaced soon and received treatment from the priests in the rear. After a brief rest, they will bring more recruits back to the front line.
When the next group of veterans who could return to the rear alive began to rest, those priests who were curing their injuries would find it difficult to find familiar faces here. War is so cruel. Until now, the only one who can still maintain the war on earth can continue.
The Royal Knights in Orlando were organized. These knights who had undergone rigorous training became the backbone. They fought on the front line to fight and fought bravely, leading a group of qualified veterans, but they never took them down.
Rest.x
Although the orcs have been equipped with a large number of sharper iron weapons, it is also very difficult to split the magic-protected armor of the Saint Knight. What's more, the Saint Knight can be easily in terms of personal combat power.
Defeat orcs ten times their own, and under their inspiration, more and more human warriors forgot their timidity and bravely joined the battle.
After returning to the Royal Observatory, Ryan and others never participated in the battle again, because with the deepening of the orc offensive, the Royal Observatory, as the human command center, was also under great threat. Ryan must begin to perform his duties.
Protect Catherine's safety. However, under the control of the Royal Magician, the magic defense of the Royal Observatory can completely block the stone bombs flying in the air, so there is no need to worry about accidental injury.
Standing behind to watch the battle is actually a torment. Ryan stood on the high viewing platform and could see the scene several kilometers away. He could clearly see the front line of humans fighting with orcs and see orcs.
Raised his sharp axe and chopped off the heads of the human warriors. Seeing the orcs expand their offensive step by step, and seeing the humans consuming the orcs' vital power at the cost of fifteen to one, Ryan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Yes, Ryan's heart was full of confusion. He knew that his strength was very good among human magicians, but in the face of such a situation where more than 100,000 or millions of people were fighting, Ryan could continue to release a few.
Thousands of fireballs are just to delay the enemy's attack. Moreover, once the orcs are flooded with orcs and Ryan is attacked from both sides, he will not be able to be uninjured, and his casting will not be at all undisturbed.
After all, the path that Ryan and Alanto have taken now mainly tend to fight slowly with fast speed. Alanto's speed needs no need to be explained in detail. Ryan also tried his best to take the initiative and then cast spells to suppress the opponent's counterattack until
The final victory. This method is quite effective in small-scale battles, but once facing tens of thousands of enemies, if Ryan cannot have a large number of firm teams to help support the defense, Ryan can do it
Just fight and retreat, barely protecting yourself.
Tens of thousands of battles form a phalanx, which almost tells the orcs: "Hurry up and hit me with a stone throwing cart!", so this method is not feasible. After thinking about it, Ryan never thought of a perfect solution to the predicament of humanity in front of him.
He also planned to take an elite army to sneak attack the orc's stone throwing chariot position. However, this idea just turned around in Ryan's mind and was thrown behind him.
Orcs and humans have very different appearances. Both sides cannot secretly infiltrate after putting on makeup, and there is no need to worry about their opponent's spies. However, this double-edged sword also makes it difficult for humans to grasp the specific location of the orcs' stone throwing chariot position. And orcs
The range of the rock-throwing car is about 1,000 to 1,500 meters. It is really a arduous task to cross the orc's controlled area so far and go deep into the rear of the orc to find the target of the opponent's constantly changing position without being discovered.
Farath quickly realized Ryan's thoughts. She knew that Ryan's idea was a bit extreme. After all, when fighting against orcs, it was at least the matter of the entire imperial capital. Is it possible that Ryan will bear all the responsibility alone?
So Farath found a suitable time to enlighten Ryan in obscurely, and Ryan also opened the knot in his heart under the reminder of his close lover. He no longer thought about those meaningless things because of the military command of human beings.
The official is Orlando, and he, Ryan, just complete his mission seriously to protect Queen Catherine.
Now Queen Catherine uses the amplified magic circle to deliver speeches to the humans in the city almost every few hours, indicating that she has not left and motivates everyone's morale. The result of this has greatly encouraged humans, but it also made
The orcs found the vital points of humanity. In the past three days, the orcs increased their troops to attack the Royal Observatory seven times and successfully confirmed the location of the Royal Observatory.
This is really not a mistake for anyone, because the orcs attack other directions, as long as they increase their strength, they can advance a little, but the direction of attacking the royal watchtower is often fierce and difficult to move forward. If you don’t understand which command center of human beings is,
Direction, the orc commander is really an idiot. In combat, the army's command center moved according to the actual situation of the battle, but in the entire imperial capital, only the royal viewing platform has an amplified magic circle. If Catherine leaves
Isn’t this a mistake for everyone to misunderstand that she has escaped? That morale will definitely collapse on a large scale.
Based on this kind of accident and inevitability, the offensive and defensive battle of the imperial capital ushered in the most intense battle against the battle of defending the Royal Observatory.
