A dense row of arrows rained down, and the sharp arrows were nailed to the wooden board. The shocking movement made the human soldiers hiding below almost feel their hearts beat out of their chests.
Above the head, those terrifying shadows in the sky shone brightly, but finally receded far away.
In the distance, there are several figures floating in the sky with magic light shining. They are human magicians rising up to resist. Some powerful magicians often fly into the sky to fight back with magic, but the elven archers,
But they have almost become the natural enemies of magicians! The elves’ bows and arrows have a long range and are incredibly accurate. After the magicians fly into the sky, they can only use their magic to deal with the elves as much as possible. Moreover, the number of magicians in the city is only twenty.
With so many people, it was too difficult for the enemy to dispatch hundreds or even thousands of elves at every turn. Even the sky above the fortress could not be completely guarded, so they could only try to resist in a few important areas.
Even so, in several days of fighting, the magician was finally killed or wounded.
"Fortunately, this is the last wave today. It will be dark soon."
A soldier forcefully lifted up the thick wooden board on his body and took a numb look at the arrows nailed on it.
The arrows used by these elves look very crude, as if they were cut directly from the branches of some unknown plant, but their power is so terrifying...
In the fortress of the eastern defense line, since the river was lost, the human defenders in the city have begun to have a difficult time. The sinners have unparalleled air superiority, and the elves with the ability to fly will fly to the city at least three times a day
Above, three waves of air strikes were carried out.
As a result, after humans initially suffered great losses, the defenders in the city, without the ability to counterattack in the air, could only try their best to resist. The door panels of all the houses in the city had been dismantled. When the elves attacked
At that time, the defenders could only stay in small groups and hide under thick wooden boards.
Even when the elves occasionally attacked, the defenders on the city defense had to hide under the dense rain of arrows to eat. Despite this, the casualties of the soldiers in the city were still rising, and many people were holding up wooden planks.
When moving, you will still be shot to death by stray arrows.
In this case, news of the embarrassment on the eastern front reached the rear. General Andre, the commander of the human air force, also launched two counterattacks. However, in the air, the airship's combat capability was far lower than that of the elves, and again it took a lot of effort.
After two heavy losses, the Air Force stopped sending out to die.
"Hey, it's time to eat." A cook soldier held a wooden board on his back with a few arrows nailed on it. He held a large wooden basin in his hand and ran back and forth under the city, distributing the flour cakes in the basin.
In the hands of soldiers.
"These damn monster races..." The soldiers lay in embarrassment under the wooden planks, gnawing on the ground cakes in their hands and cursing in their hearts.
"It's been three days..." By the river, the evening breeze blew by, gradually bringing a touch of warmth.
Luoxue's long hair was lifted up by the breeze. It squinted its eyes and looked at the distant human fortress wall. There was a somewhat unpredictable look on that stunning face.
He looked up at the sky and saw a dense swarm of elves, shrouded in a faint golden light, flying back from the sky above the fortress.
"It's been three days." It turned around and looked at the two elven elders behind it, and quickly lowered its head: "Yes, King. Human beings don't seem to have any effective means to deal with our air attacks. In the past few days, we have
The archers have killed four of their magicians."
Luoxue nodded, but sighed in a low voice: "Killing four magicians is indeed good. Because the total number of magicians among humans is not many. But...our soldiers must have also suffered losses."
"Compared to humans, our losses are almost negligible." An elf elder looked up. His old face still had the unique fair complexion of the elves, long ears, pointed chin, and long hair.
It is also quite elegant: "Ordinary human warriors pose almost no threat to us. Their bows and arrows and those ballistae are simply a joke to our airborne warriors. The only ones who can cause us a little bit of damage are
Those magicians. Fortunately, the number of their magicians is too small. I think..."
Luoxue smiled: "Don't worry about what you want to say."
"King." The elder wondered: "With the level of human beings, why don't we capture this fortress in one go? Since they can't resist our air attack, if we attack in one go..."
"Because of life." Luoxue sighed and looked at the elder. His voice was very soft: "Our population is still too small among the entire sinners."
As it said, its eyes turned to the distance, and said quietly: "Even if we lose tens of thousands of warriors, with the reproductive ability of those orcs, it only takes one year to give birth to more people. But we...
Even if hundreds of warriors are lost, it will take a long time... The birth rate of our clan has never been high. Every time an Elf warrior is lost, it will take a long time..."
But then it smiled and said: "Of course, I'm not afraid of death or injury. Since it's a war, I won't have such worries. I waited for a few days and just made a tentative attack. In fact, it was gradually disintegrating human beings' fighting spirit.
When we just crossed the river, the momentum of the human race did not weaken much. On the contrary, under the mourning of the soldiers, their morale was high. It was probably inspired by the army that finally defended the river beach and the whole army was killed. "It.
After a pause, he smiled lightly and said: "But morale is something that can be encouraged very quickly. After it dissipates, it is not so easy to encourage it again. In the past few days, the soldiers in the city have been tortured repeatedly by us. It should be
I think my spirit has been worn away."
As it said, it gently clenched its fists: "Break the city tonight!" The Elf King's eyes flashed: "Has our...'God's Punishment Team' arrived? Then, let them do it today.
We will set out in the evening. Tomorrow morning, we can watch the sunrise on the city wall."
A hint of absolute smile appeared on the corner of its mouth.
The two elders were shocked: "Are you...really planning to let them go out into battle? This is not in line with the tradition of the elves! The elves are a proud race, how can you use..."
"Power is power. If you don't use it, it will be a waste." Luoxue shouted flatly: "Besides, even if it saves one of my clan's warriors from dying, I will not hesitate to use any method!"
It stared at the two elders coldly: "Pass my order. After sunset, the 'God's Punishment Team' will be dispatched to make them work harder, otherwise..."
The two elders trembled and quickly lowered their heads.
Luoxue turned around and continued to look at the dungeon defense fortress in the south. It put its hands behind its back and was silent for a while, but suddenly whispered: "Are you worried? Rohart?"
Not far from Luo Xue. As a prisoner, Rohart stood there with a complicated expression on his face. His hands were tucked into his sleeves, and there was a hint of anger on his face.
Rohart wore a set of elven-style robes, and his appearance was quite handsome. If it weren't for the pointed ears of the elves, he would have been an elf.
"Worried about the fate of your kind?" Luoxue glanced at the captive who had been by his side for many days: "You must really want to go back now and fight with them."
Luo Hart's eyes were solemn. He glanced at Luoxue and his voice was hoarse: "Why did you bring me here to see these things and say these words? To torture my heart?"
Luoxue smiled, and there was no hint of fireworks in his smile. He said calmly: "I'm not that cruel. It's just... Rohart, you have been by my side for so many days. During this time, I will make all the arrangements."
The deployment has never been hidden from you. You have seen it in your eyes and must have weighed it in your heart... Do you think that under such circumstances, your eastern front can still be defended?"
Rohart looked defeated. He swayed a few times, but finally gritted his teeth and whispered: "I can't hold on!"
But then, he raised his head and shouted: "But even if you break through this fortress, the empire will never compromise! Countless warriors of my kind will come forward! Defend our country to the death!"
Luoxue was silent, but then he nodded: "I have never doubted this. However, after breaking through the eastern fortress, this is not my strategic purpose, it is just a move. I must let your empire understand that our race
, has the strength to pose a fatal threat to them!"
As it spoke, it laughed again, and the sound was sweet, as if it had a seductive magic power:
"Whether it's humans, elves, orcs... it's the same for any intelligent race in this world: in any race, although there are brave ones, there must be cowards. If there are noble ones, there must be some.
There are despicable ones. There are selfless ones, and there must be selfish ones. There are those who take the initiative in fighting..." At this point, it paused deliberately and said the last sentence: "There must also be those who are afraid of fighting! My purpose is,
It’s just to show our strength! To you humans, let’s show our sinful people’s powerful strength!”
As night fell, the soldiers on the city defense finally breathed a sigh of relief. According to the practice these days, these monster races that came to the city would cease their activities at night. They would only try to attack the city several times during the day.
And the air strikes in the sky will be dispatched two or three times.
Facing enemies on the ground and in the sky at the same time, the human defenders suffered heavy losses even if they summoned all their courage.
As the days passed, this embarrassing situation did not improve at all. As Luo Xue said, morale inevitably began to slacken.
Watching the sun finally set, and even the last trace of the afterglow gradually dissipated, the defenders on the city wall lit torches, and some soldiers who were injured during the day began to withdraw from the city wall and go to the rear for treatment.
The rotating soldiers climbed up the city wall to guard the city defenses, carefully looking at the enemy's military camp by the river in the distance.
And at this moment...
A loud roar came from afar, piercing the night sky!
There was an endless howl, and there was a certain sense of oppression in the howl that shocked the soul! And then, the howl evolved from one point to one! More and more loud and long howls came.
, the sound seemed to have oscillated in the air, and directly hit people's hearts deeply! The sound seemed to have some kind of magic power, and when people heard it, they immediately felt their bodies trembling, and their strength seemed to immediately weaken!
In the city, some magicians who had fought during the day were resting, and some took the time to meditate to replenish their magic power. The roar came from far away, and when the soldiers on the city wall fell into panic, many magicians in the city had their faces changed wildly.
Almost at the same time, a dozen magicians came out of the door, and some of them had already flown directly into the air, staring at the north with distorted expressions...
This voice... this voice...
This sound... is not the roar of some wild beast! Such a strong momentum, such a strong sense of oppression and power...
This is……
Finally, a bright light flashed across the northern sky, and then turned into a flame-like light. Then, with that majestic roar, countless huge black shadows appeared in the night sky, like monsters in the sky.
Vibrating its huge wings, it soared fiercely towards the human fortress!!
"Dragon! Dragon!! It's a dragon!!!"
I don’t know which magician was the one who finally took the lead in seeing the black shadows in the sky and let out an exclamation...
