Chapter 838: Final Attack and Defense (Part 1)
"Woo... woo... woo..."
As the deep but penetrating voice sounded, the elite orc warriors who could no longer hold back their bloodthirsty (desire) did not hesitate to drink the "Great Change Potion" provided by the City of Shadows, one by one. As if he had been inflated, his height and weight instantly increased by about 1/2, and the huge ax that looked a little heavy in his hand became just right in the blink of an eye.
"Aww! Kill those cowards who only hide behind city walls!"
"Kill! Kill those traitors!"
"Blood! I will drink the blood of my enemies!"
...
All of a sudden, these elite fighters, who felt their power greatly increased, roared up to the sky, and their eyes became bloodshot rapidly in just a few minutes, and they all entered a berserk state.
In the wild land, berserker and barbarian are the two most common occupations, especially the former accounts for a relatively high proportion of orcs. Sometimes they cannot control the berserk ability well, and when they are overexcited or emotional Sometimes, the body will involuntarily secrete too much adrenaline, and this scene in front of him is obviously a similar situation.
One-eyed Longte knew very well that these guys must not stop at this time, otherwise they would kill each other immediately, so he waved his hand without hesitation, and the four big drums placed on the back of the swamp hydra were immediately sounded. The sound of drums that shook the sky accompanied by horns spread throughout the battlefield.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The bare-chested orc Hercules had bulging veins on his arm, holding a thick thigh bone, and slammed on the animal skin drum with a diameter of more than two meters. The sound still makes the blood spurt.
The elite soldiers who finally got the attack signal rushed out roaring, and it didn't take long for them to rush up the city wall from all directions, tearing apart several lines of defense in just a few minutes. They were as unstoppable as a flood. The two-meter-high three-story tower shield was as fragile as papyrus when struck by a giant axe, and it was often chopped into two pieces together with the shield.
How can the human mercenaries resist such a violent attack, not to mention them, Fugner, who is also an orc, was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted at the arrow tower: "Explosive arrows! Use explosive arrows for me immediately! Not now! Time to save! Once the city wall falls, we will die!"
Although he has only integrated into civilized society for a few days, he already has a general understanding of most consumable magic items. According to the price given by the Mage Tower, an explosive arrow costs 600 gold coins. A bottle of "Great Change Potion" costs two hundred and fifty gold coins. Since the enemies are using such expensive things on a large scale, it means that the craziest attack has begun, and there is no need for me to keep hiding, otherwise I am afraid half Couldn't stand it for hours.
You must know that with the help of spells, even Vaughn, who is a legendary warrior, can't drive down so many big guys over three meters tall, and even deal with more than seven at the same time. It is not a vegetarian, and every time it is swung, it can open up a large open space in front of it. Anyone who hides a little slower will be cut off at the waist. Coupled with the spirit of not fearing death after turning on the berserk, the defenders who would kill as soon as they rushed to the city wall retreated steadily. There is no power to fight back at all.
"Sharpshooter! Explosive Arrow!"
"The explosive arrow is ready!"
"Aim! Free fire!"
The elite archers who received the order pulled out the only magical arrow engraved with mysterious patterns on their bodies, drew their bows fully, and aimed at the most densely populated place of the enemy.
The explosive arrows flashing with a strong red aura made a swishing sound, and pierced into the chests, necks, or eyes of the unlucky ones. In the next second, the entire city wall burst into flames and loud noises.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The violent explosion instantly swept away about half of the orcs affected by the potion of great change. The strong shock wave directly turned the guy at the center of the explosion into broken corpses, and the raging flames devoured the broken limbs. Pieces of black and red meat were scattered all over the place.
Although giantization gave them stronger strength, it did not give them the vitality that was truly comparable to giants. In essence, these monsters with a size of more than three meters were still orcs, so they couldn't resist as hard as giants below the third level. The evocation spell, the tragedy of the scene cannot be described in words.
However, Fugner's expression at this moment is not relaxed, because the more than 30 explosive arrows shot just now are all in his inventory, and the lethality seems to be good. But the number of fatalities was not many, most of them were only severely burned, and they still maintained strong combat effectiveness, especially once the orcs in the berserk state were injured, they would instantly fall into a state of irrational rage. This is more dangerous than they are consciously.
"Damn! Support! I need the support of the Mage Tower now!"
Seeing more and more enemies rushing up the city wall, Fugner shouted at the guards around him with red eyes. Except for the mysterious magic. Now he doesn't know what method to use to drive these big guys down.
At this moment, the effect of the dark elves' raid was finally revealed. Due to fires in important buildings such as armories, granaries, and barracks, subsequent military supplies, such as grease, logs, stones, etc., could not be transported to the front line. The militiamen are needed to fight the fire and maintain order in the city, so that the number of soldiers on the city wall is seriously insufficient, otherwise they will not be beaten and have no power to fight back.
In the mage tower, Sarah Brightman stared at the battle situation sent back from the crystal ball, frowned and cursed in a low voice: "Treacherous bastard! Those guys are clearly planning to use up the energy reserves of this tower, so I won't let them Satisfied."
"No, ma'am, I'm afraid you don't have a second choice." A wry smile appeared on Alan's slightly immature face as he spoke, and then pointed to the gigantic orc warrior. "Look at these guys. In order to achieve their goal, the mages of the City of Shadows took out at least two thousand bottles of Great Change Potion. Even at the cost price of one bottle of one hundred gold coins, they also invested two hundred thousand gold coins. I am afraid that the entire Faerun Continent has no Several organizations can produce such a large amount of magic potion in a short period of time, so we are not wronged."
One of the most important reasons why the prices of magic potions and scrolls have remained high for a long time is that it is difficult to manufacture. Almost every bottle of potion and scroll needs to cast a matching spell or divine spell, which means that it must be Consuming a lot of precious spell slots, even Henry can only cast a dozen first-level spells every day. But the City of Shadows was able to take out two thousand bottles of Great Change Potion without even blinking an eye, which shows its terrifying magical background.
Staring at the retreating defenders, Sarah Brightman took a deep breath to calm herself down, then nodded with a serious expression: "You are right, the other party is obviously coming prepared, I I bet they will destroy the city gate or a certain section of the city wall immediately after the energy of the mage tower is exhausted, as long as a gap is opened, those savage monsters will continue to pour in. Make the most of the advantage of numbers."
Allen spread his hands helplessly: "There is no way. In this war, the enemy has the absolute upper hand from the very beginning. Whether it is quality or quantity, the only thing we can do is to delay the time as much as possible, so please don't hesitate any longer. Now, let’s use the last bit of energy in the light tower, I think the time for the decisive battle has come.”
After speaking, he bowed slightly, turned around and left the control room with the Terminator.
The boy knew very well that what he was about to face next was likely to be an even more brutal street fight. At that time, the whole city will be turned into a battlefield, which is the best place for psions and mages to play. With the ability to detect the opponent's thinking, coupled with a powerful alchemy warrior. He can silently kill entire groups of enemies.
Cruel war is always the place where the will is tempered the most. Weak people can become strong here, and kind people can become ruthless here. In just a few days, Allen made several friends, and then witnessed Watching them die beside him one by one, the deep sense of powerlessness almost broke his spirits.
Obviously, the boy's spellcasting ability is more than enough to protect himself. But it is still too far to save others. It is precisely because of this that he yearns for more and stronger power, even at the risk of his life. Only in fierce battles can the potential of human beings be revealed. will be developed to the maximum extent possible.
Glancing at Alan's thin and stubborn back, Sarah Brightman narrowed her eyes, and muttered to herself, "It's really worthy of being the mentor's son. What a terrifying talent. It's only been a while, and the level of spellcasting has suddenly increased. It's about to reach level seven. At this speed, he will surpass me in a year or two... The future is simply limitless. Maybe I should try to get closer. It will definitely be useful in revenge..."
The eyes of this red-robed female mage from Searle had a strange brilliance as she continued to mutter. While putting her hand on the crystal ball, she completely activated all the remaining energy, leaving only a little bit to maintain the portal. Once the enemy breaks through the city, she will choose to retreat without hesitation.
The top of the mage tower suddenly released a bright white light straight to the sky, the sky in front of the battlefield was instantly torn apart by some powerful force, and countless black spots the size of fists fell from the sky, densely packed like raindrops.
Due to the high-speed friction with the air, these fist-sized meteorites began to burn violently, forming a high temperature of thousands of degrees on the surface, which looked like red fireballs.
"Damn! What is this! Who can tell me what the hell it is!" One-eyed Lonte stared dumbfounded at the scene that seemed to be doomsday, and roared loudly at the mage of the City of Shadows. He couldn't believe everything in front of him, especially when he was about to win.
Crimson meteorites fell from the sky and smashed on the outside of the city wall. The huge roar and impact instantly emptied all the orc warriors. Those who hadn't had time to climb the ladder were completely crushed into flesh, and some of them didn't even have time to scream. He died, and the uneven crater on the ground seemed to be telling the tragedy just now. Everyone could feel the violent vibration at the moment of impact, as if the earth was trembling.
The terrible strategic magic wiped out more than 5,000 siege troops in an instant, most of them were the most elite fighters in Longte's own tribe, so it was inevitable for him to go crazy, and anyone would be unbearable if he changed it. Let alone the orcs who have always been known for their bad temper.
