Chapter 237 Siege(1/2)
The desert of death is not sufficient.
The 30,000 army mobilized by the orcs is not a small number of consumption on weekdays.
For this expedition, the Lionheart King Imsh almost took out all his old capital and took out all the savings obtained from robbing the Kingdom of Iris for decades.
However, as long as the orcs can defeat the elves, it will be worth it.
The Elf Forest is rich in resources, and Imsh believes that there is no problem in providing support to the 30,000 army.
Previously, it was due to fear of human forces. Although it gained nominal sovereignty, the orcs did not dare to truly penetrate the power deeper into the Elf Forest, which was far from the Death Desert.
But if this war is won and the orcs' true god's strength is improved, then nothing will be a problem.
The battle between true gods is the essence of the competition among the major wise races in the Seges universe!
War of faith is just an extension of the battle between the true gods.
And for this attack, Lionheart King Imsh is still sure.
As an old rival of the elves, the orcs have quite a knowledge of the elves. Although the orcs have almost lost the news of the elves in the past six months, based on their experience, Imsh can also judge how much elves are.
He also studied the experience of the cave tribe, but Imsh believed that the direct reason for the demise of the cave tribe was the black dragon and the elves' divine followers, rather than the only thousand elves with low combat power!
Even if they can be resurrected!
How do they fight against the 30,000 troops?
As for the Black Dragon and the God-Follower, the orcs have already had plans to deal with it!
In this war of faith, the elite army of the Orcs' Court came out in full swing and gained all the advantages. Imsh believed that as long as he pushed the ball to win, he could win.
The only thing to worry about is that the mysterious new god, who is angry and may directly attack the orc army regardless of his identity.
However... that was already a confrontation at the level of the true god, and it was not something Imsh could consider.
After the Lionheart King gave the order, the orcs rested on the spot.
They had been camping in the Dark Mountains for a night before and were in full strength. When the scouts had almost found out about the news, they could launch a strong attack on the castle.
It is enough to rest for three hours and accumulate energy.
The orc army stopped advancing and camped outside the maximum range of Black Dragon Castle to rest.
At the same time, the Lionheart King Imsh also specially ordered the army to expand the formation and show his strength to the elves in the castle!
He must first attack the elves in the castle from morale!
After the orcs began to rest, the players finally saw the entire picture of the enemy.
The shock of an army of 30,000 people is far beyond the reach of 3,000 people.
In particular, the orcs' physique was almost a small circle larger than the elves. They gathered together and surrounded by ten terrifying beasts that looked difficult to mess with, which was even more intimidating.
However, although they were shocked by the scene of a large army besieging the city, the players were more excited than fear.
The Lionheart King's little thoughts did not hurt their morale.
On the contrary, seeing the orcs' legion stopping in place, the players not only were not afraid, but instead became a little impatient:
"Why did you stop?"
"When will you come and fight!"
"Hey, I've been waiting all night, won't the orcs get stuck, right?"
"Hey... If you don't do it, it's going to dawn in reality. I'm going to go to work at nine o'clock."
On the city wall.
Looking at the impatient expressions of the players and listening to their complaints, the natural Saint Alice and some of the indigenous elves who volunteered to serve as logistics support were all wonderful expressions.
The Black Dragon Castle has a teleportation array, and the army is not afraid of siegeing the city.
The more time it takes, it should be a good thing for the elves. What they can't afford is the orcs coming from the expedition...
However, compared with the orcs who surrounded the city, the chosen ones were more looking forward to the battle between the two sides!
Not only that, their morale was so high that it was almost water coming, as if what was about to come was not a fierce battle, but a carnival.
The native elves couldn't understand why the chosen ones were looking forward to war so much...
Obviously... they are the defense!
Alice even had no doubt that if the city gate had not been declared closed by Lord Zero, some of the chosen ones would have run out of the castle to cause trouble!
Not to mention anything else, just from the perspective of mentality, these guys... are almost war-crazy!
In fact, that's exactly the case.
No player thinks he will fail!
In their opinion, what everyone needs to consider when resisting the orcs this time is who can kill more enemies in the siege.
This relaxed and pleasant atmosphere and inexplicably high morale also relieved the nervous mood of the indigenous elves who came to support.
The overnight waiting did not make players very anxious.
But the confrontation three hours after the orc army appeared made them more and more irritable.
The restless atmosphere spread across the city walls almost visible to the naked eye, and all the players were waiting for the orc attack.
The warrior players checked their equipment over and over again, and the mages counted the blue-return potion they prepared again and again. Everyone looked at the south, looking forward to the arrival of experience points and contributions...
"Why aren't you attacking yet?"
Similar sighs sounded again and again in various parts of the city wall.
...
These three hours are the longest three hours players have spent.
After some rest, the orcs were completely prepared to attack, and the orc scouts who were exploring the way back to the camp.
"King, this castle is a lonely castle! No other elves were found nearby, but...there were a large number of traces of monster migration in the direction of the Elf Forest."
"Traces of the migration of monsters?"
Lionheart King Imsh frowned.
"King! This is normal! After those elves appeared in the Elf Forest, the monsters in the forest began to migrate. I heard that... they were all driven away by the elves. Rumors were even ate meat! Those elves... are no longer the race that once loved nature!"
The orc from the cave tribe who had escaped before said.
"Eat meat?!"
The Lionheart King Imsh widened his eyes and was a little surprised.
He looked at the chief high priest and sneered:
"It seems... this mysterious evil god really has some skills. He not only changed the beliefs of the elves, but also changed their habits!"
"After all, I have seized the priesthood of that person, and this evil god should be very afraid of that person."
The chief high priest said lightly.
After hearing the high priest's words, the Lionheart King Imsh grinned:
"Hmph, just right! After destroying the elves, all of them are under the crown of the Father God, and they are also from our half-orcs!"
After saying that, he raised his sword high:
"Send the order and prepare to attack the city!"
...
"Woo"
A series of heavy horn sounds pierced the sky and echoed among the mountains...
The army of orcs was finally moved.
The orcs have no cavalry, they are all infantry.
The army of 30,000 and 20,000 were staying in place as reserves, while the ten thousand in the front were all dispatched, surrounded by five ferocious Bemon beasts and pressed towards the direction of the Black Dragon Castle.
When he heard the sound of the horn and saw the orc's movements, the players who had already been waiting on the city wall were excited:
"Here's here! They're here!"
"Prepare for combat! Prepare for combat!"
For a moment, the city wall became lively again, and the entire Heilong Castle began to operate slowly like a huge war machine...
Ten thousand orcs, holding their shields and weapons, surrounded the giant beasts like a tide, rushed towards the Black Dragon Castle on the hillside.
The long-range players gathered on the city wall, raised their bows and arrows, and aimed at the orcs that were constantly moving forward.
Elf shooter is the profession with the farthest attack distance.
The effective range of the Black Iron Level shooter is about 300 meters, nearly ten times that of the same level mage.
Li Mu stood on the city wall, looking at the gradually approaching army of orcs, with a serious expression.
When the orc's forward stepped into a three hundred meters range, he held up his staff and shouted in the command channel:
To be continued...
