Chapter 1348 -923, The Army Presses the City_2
Pupu pupu!!
The dragon’s head and carcass fell from the sky, crashing into the crowd of fighters below.
Roar!
With this attack, the Orc camp’s morale surged instantly, and they let out a collective roar of rage.
They began to counterattack the Undead forces.
Meanwhile, blades of light slashed one after another, creating huge ravines as if the sky and earth were shattering.
The armies of the Undead and Blood Clan, under the sweep of these blades, were as fragile as ants, shattering into pieces en masse.
The battle between the two sides became intensely entangled.
Relentless combat persisted, as did the fall of warriors.
Atop the city walls, Rolana watched the blades of light shooting out.
She picked up the Sound-transmitting Shell and said, “Their deity is on my side, you can attack now.”
…
Beast King City.
Whoosh whoosh~!
The whistling sound of something cutting through the air caused the dozing Orcs leaning against the city wall to slightly open their eyes.
They scratched their heads and looked up into the sky, puzzled.
Dark clouds?
The horizon was just beginning to brighten, not as dark as the dead of night.
But the sky should be getting lighter.
Why is it darkening instead?
It seemed as if a vast expanse of dark clouds was rapidly enveloping the area.
Only the occasional gaps allowed glimpses of the lightening sky.
Before the Orcs could figure out what was happening, they heard another Orc nearby shouting: “Enemy attack, sound the alarms.”
The Orcs snapped to attention and looked into the distance once more.
A shock went through their hearts.
These were not just any clouds, but a massive horde of dragons, a dark, oppressive swarm drawing near.
What on earth was happening?
Were the Dragon Clan declaring war on the Orcs?
Directly targeting the main city of the Orcs?
Dong dong dong!!
The heavy alarm bells tolled, resonating across the entire city.
Soon after, the alarm bells on the other three walls were also rung in succession, signifying enemies on all fronts.
The reaction to this sudden incident in the Orcs’ main city was swift.
In the instant the alarm bells rang.
Large numbers of troops began pouring out from all over the city.
The dimly lit city was illuminated by dense clusters of torches, and battalions of troops hurriedly weaved through the city streets.
Bundles of crossbow bolts were carried to the walls and placed on the ballistae.
All the ballistae began to continuously adjust their angles, aiming into the sky at the dragon swarm that approached like a dark cloud.
“Fire!”
At the command of the Orc General.
Bang bang bang!!
The sound of the crossbow strings resonated as volleys of bolts were fired into the sky.
The dragon swarm continued to draw near, entering a certain range, the archers and crossbowmen began their assault.
A dense barrage of arrows formed a giant net, enveloping the sky.
Some were blown away by the gales, others struck the armor of the great dragons.
…
Dong~ dong dong!
Just as arrows filled the sky and everyone was braced to confront the dragon swarm, a rhythmic and dull hammering sound came once more from all four directions.
The Orc defenders on the walls were startled.
No longer fixating on the dragon swarm above, they looked down towards the far-off lands beyond the city.
In the next second, their hearts sank.
To the beat of drum-like rhythmic footsteps, a dense mob of the Undead army, forming shield formations, began surging towards them.
What was this?
All the Orcs were plunged into horror.
Not just at the numbers of the Undead, but the vast size of the army appearing so suddenly near their main city was the greater cause of their terror.
The dragon swarm appearing here might be due to high altitude flight, taking advantage of the night to reach them.
But how could this massive horde of Undead infantry appear here?
The main city was located in the central region of the Orc territories.
Before the Orcs could understand.
Behind the shield-bearing Undead, a succession of humanoid constructs with Giant Swords, skeleton marksmen with shoulder-mounted firearms, and giant elephant-like creatures followed.
The variety was vast, the numbers, immense.
Even the battles with the desert Undead were like this, right?
The Orcs on the walls collectively swallowed their saliva, their hand movements with the arrows halting.
“Continue firing, quickly… bring up the cannons, get the rocks and logs ready,” the Orc General urged loudly.
He kicked at a dazed soldier beside him.
The Orcs busied themselves once again, with the dark mouths of the cannons pointing towards the distance.
Some Orcs even picked up black bombs, ready to defend against the siege of the Undead.
The impression of the Orcs among other races was that of rough barbarism.
Especially the phrase, “act first, think later,” made other races scorn the Orcs for having muscles where their brains should be.
But the development of the Orcs was not as primitive and barbaric as rumored among the other races.
Cannons and bombs, the legacy of battle, were no less than those of other races.
Otherwise, they would not have become such a formidable clan. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
The dragon swarm drew even closer.
The roaring winds they brought grew even more piercing.
“Flight troops… engage!” The next order came from the rear once again.
The pens for flying beasts within the city were flung open.
Swarms of Orc flying beasts flew out of their cages, circling overhead once.
Then they dispersed in an instant, forming lines in the sky as they rushed towards the incoming dragon swarm.
The flying beasts rapidly closed in, directly confronting the dragon swarm.
Among the dragon swarm.
The Green Dragon glanced at the approaching flock of flying beasts and then at the city walls below.
“Go, divert those flying beasts,” the Green Dragon instructed the others behind it.
Two Dragon Clan heroes nodded, leading a portion of the wyverns to immediately break away from the formation and dive into the flock of flying beasts.
Utilizing Dragon Breath to slay their foes, they cleared a path among the flying beasts.
The dragon swarm, closing in to one hundred meters.
With a roar, the Green Dragon Elder led the dragon swarm in a dive.
Arrows and crossbow bolts poured freely into the sky.
