Chapter 856: Turbulent Situation (Part 2)
What appeared in Lei Xiao's hand was a fifth-level attack magic scroll with extremely destructive power.
The name of this magic scroll is "Wind Demon Thousand Blades". It is a highly penetrating wind-based wide-area attack magic.
As the name suggests, it can be seen from the name alone that its effect is to summon thousands of sharp wind blades, and then attack the target at high speed.
At this stage, Lei Xiao has a total of 6 offensive fifth-level magic scrolls with different attributes on his body.
The reason why Lei Xiao chose to release "Wind Demon Thousand Blades" at this time was mainly due to two considerations.
One, naturally, is to have the dual effects of deterrence and damage, and to drive off the orcs that are still rushing up the city wall as quickly as possible.
The second reason is that although "Wind Demon Thousand Blades" is a wide-area attack magic that covers a large area, as long as it is controlled properly, it will not cause unnecessary damage to things other than the target.
After all, this is our front city wall, and the opponent has been surrounded by the puppet knights summoned by Sarah.
Once it causes damage to the opponent and blows a big hole in our city wall, or affects our strength, it will be like killing the enemy by one thousand and damaging ourselves by eight hundred.
Before the orc could fully react, Lei Xiao directly activated the magic scroll in his hand.
As the wind suddenly rose, a huge light yellow magic circle exuding vast momentum immediately stretched diagonally above Lei Xiao, causing the war flags still standing upright around him to buzz.
Thousands of sharp wind blades with a length of about one meter condensed and formed instantly in front of the magic circle that rotated rapidly like a fan.
Then with a wave of Lei Xiao's big hand, he headed straight towards the orc camp overwhelmingly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A sound of piercing the air sounded like a sonata of death, and a thousand sharp blades shot into the orc camp like a shower of meteors.
"Raise your shield to defend!"
Although the Orc leader reacted immediately, most of the other Orc soldiers around him reacted a bit too slowly, and the few who raised their shields did not help at all.
The unstoppable wind blades cut through the shield as easily as cutting paper, penetrated the armor, cut into the blood and bones, and finally effortlessly cut off the ferocious Orc soldiers at the waist.
It wasn't until the wind blade whizzed past for a few seconds that the bodies of these orc soldiers, who had been baring their teeth and claws just now, began to fall apart and fell crookedly in a pool of blood.
In the blink of an eye, at least a thousand well-trained Orc soldiers and Orc commanders who were caught off guard were killed on the spot without even a single groan.
I saw broken limbs scattered all over the ground, causing a strong smell of blood to hit my face.
Seeing the Lord Kingmaker display his power and kill thousands of orcs at his feet in the blink of an eye, the morale of the Goblin soldiers immediately exploded.
But the surviving orc soldiers began to stop moving forward, apparently completely losing their initial edge.
Not only were they surrounded now, but the leader's strong combat power had also been neutralized. In addition, the broken and bloody corpses around them all stimulated their increasingly tense nerves.
"You bastard human race, you must die today!"
The orc leader, who was guarded by an energy fortress, was naturally unscathed.
Seeing that the morale of the surrounding people was greatly reduced, the orc leader swung the giant warhammer in his hand and was about to rush towards Lei Xiao, but was immediately blocked by the sword held by the tiger stick.
Under Lei Xiao's order, the tiger stick, whose strength was equal to that of the opponent, was fully fired, and the killing moves such as the dragon-shattering slash and the brilliant sky-breaking slash were launched one after another, directly forcing the orc leader to the edge of the city wall.
"Soldiers, it's time for us to blow the horn of counterattack."
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered Sarah and Hongshi to start a fierce attack on the remaining orc soldiers.
"Warriors of the Kingdom of Thorns, today we fight for the Kingmaker, and tomorrow the Kingmaker will make us glorious forever!"
Hong Shi swung the staff in his hand, and dozens of thorn vines sprang out from the cracks in the cracked ground, directly squeezing the first few orc soldiers who were caught off guard, and led the goblins to start a counterattack.
The 5,000 knight puppets commanded by Sarah were the first to bear the brunt. The iron balls on the flails in their hands kept swinging, hitting the orc soldiers in front of them who were already in disarray.
Heavy iron balls connected by chains, under the action of centrifugal force.
The armor and bones of the orcs were directly smashed to pieces, causing screams to resound through the sky. Even the raised shields were smashed out of shape. The power was extremely amazing.
Under the double blow of greatly reduced morale and the knight puppets, the orcs were unable to organize effective resistance at all. The fragile defense line formed in a hurry quickly collapsed completely, and even the shouts of the commanders were of no avail.
Then, a rather dramatic scene happened.
The Orc soldiers who had already climbed onto the city wall began to retreat quickly in defeat, and then directly blocked the Orc soldiers who were still rushing up the city wall.
For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate, with no one willing to give in, and even pushing and cursing each other, making the scene chaotic for a time. It was not until the unstoppable flails of the knight puppets behind them roared one after another that they began to rush down the city wall in unison.
At this point, with little effort, Lei Xiao, with just four people, completely drove thousands of orcs off the walls of Luolong City.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the orc leader roared and temporarily broke away from the battle with the knotweed. He also returned to the city. Even the muddy earth bridges collapsed in an instant, causing peace to return to the city wall.
"Long live the Kingmaker!"
As the knight puppets and goblin soldiers quickly reoccupied every corner of the city wall, uncontrollable cheers resounded throughout the sky.
However, there was no trace of excitement on Lei Xiao's face, and his brows were still furrowed.
Under the illumination of the twin moons, Lei Xiao standing on the top of the city could be clearly seen.
Under the city wall, there were densely packed orc soldiers ready to move, and the darkness was so dark that it was almost impossible to see the end.
The loss of several thousand people was nothing to mention for an army of 100,000.
In other words, unless this orc army is completely defeated, Luolong City, and even the entire territory, will still be in danger at all times.
"But the power I can use is extremely limited. It becomes even more stretched in front of an army of 100,000 people."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, but his eyes became more determined.
Now that things have come to this, I have no choice.
If you can't find a way to completely eliminate the orcs here, you and your territory will undoubtedly end up dead.
"Then, let me try and create another miracle of war that will shock the world."
A faint smile began to slowly appear on the corner of Lei Xiao's mouth.
Since this is destined to be a crazy night, why am I not the craziest one on the battlefield?
Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao immediately nodded to the Goblin King and said, "Hongshi, I will leave this place to you again. I will find a way to repel these guys under the city wall. Then you can use the magic on the wall to defeat them." Just assist me with the guided cannon.”
"Sir, there are nearly 10 legions of troops under the city wall! This is too dangerous!"
Hongshi was stunned for a moment, then with a worried look on his dark green face, he suggested: "How about you sit on the city gate tower and take command. With you here, the other side will definitely not be able to attack!"
< br>
After a pause, the Goblin King added: "As long as the opponent's spirit is blunted, they will definitely retreat without a fight."
At this moment, Hongshi understood clearly.
Even a fifth-level warrior with monstrous strength would not dare to face an army of 100,000 people alone, let alone a lord with only a fourth-level strength? This is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous approach.
"Hongshi, I understand what you mean."
Lei Xiao nodded to the Goblin King and said with a smile: "Even if I can contain the opponent in Luolong City, Wangxing City cannot hold on for such a long time. By then, we will still have only one way to be destroyed."
"In other words, if I keep leading the main force to stay here, this will play into the opponent's plan and greatly distract our combat power."
Lei Xiao's words became more severe and he continued: "So, now we must race against time. Only by eradicating the trouble here as quickly as possible can we see the dawn of victory."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Hongshi reacted immediately. Although his face was still solemn, he nodded quickly and said: "I understand, sir, please be extremely careful!"
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
After speaking, Lei Xiao nodded to Hongshi, leaving the knight puppet who had been equipped with a bow and arrow to help defend the city, and then quietly disappeared into the darkness with Tiger Stick, Sarah and Ariel.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Jiang Li should also deploy the half-elf wolf cavalry squadron and the summoner squadron at the designated locations.
"Human race, don't think this is the end. All of you will die here today!"
Just as Lei Xiao was talking to Hongshi, the orc leader who had returned to the military formation was furious. He immediately mobilized a large number of long archers, shaman groups and catapults and began to launch a fierce attack on the city wall.
The orc leader clearly understands that the long-range power of his 100,000-strong army has an absolute advantage. There is no doubt about this.
As long as the opponent's fighting power on the city wall can be continuously weakened, until the opponent is unable to resist, everything will naturally be settled.
For a time, tens of thousands of orc soldiers holding giant metal bows opened their bows and set arrows, and began to pour out dense rain of arrows under the orders of their respective commanders.
Groups of orc shamans with fierce looks on their faces and holding dead wood staffs also began to project corrosive bombs and corrosive rays on the city wall, causing the dark green light to flicker under the city wall.
The most terrifying thing is the catapults. This simple and crude siege weapon can launch hundreds of kilograms of stone bullets, which can often smash the battlements in one go. This is evident from this.
"Magic cannons and archers fight back with all their might!"
On the towering city wall, facing the deadly arrow rain and magic, Hongshi was not to be outdone and immediately launched a full-scale counterattack.
Although at the beginning, in the face of the sudden orc army, a considerable number of magic cannons were destroyed before firing, Lei Xiao deployed a full 500 cannons after all, so he would not be at a disadvantage.
However, what is certain is that once the energy of the magic light crystal is exhausted, the power of the magic cannon will undoubtedly be greatly weakened by relying on a limited number of Goblin magicians.
By then, the situation will naturally become self-evident.
"One magic light crystal can be fired 10 times by the second-order magic cannon. I must weaken the power of these orcs as much as possible before all the magic light crystals are consumed."
Lei Xiao, who had arrived at the hiding place under Luolong City, looked at the orc army that was launching an attack, his eyes became more solemn.
Just now, Lei Xiao, who was hidden under the invisibility cloak, had carefully inspected the formation of the orcs.
The orc soldiers of these 10 legions were arranged in a decent formation.
It is divided into three standard parts: forward, center and defender.
The forward consists of 2 long-range corps and 2 infantry corps responsible for guarding. The center and rearguard each have 2 corps.
At the same time, there are two legions located on the left and right sides, responsible for guarding the security of the flanks.
Among them, although the number of several legions has been reduced a lot, they are still in order and there is no slack.
"I have to say that the orc leader is well versed in the art of war and has almost no flaws."
Lei Xiao frowned slightly and looked at the power dormant beside him.
Gracilaria, Knotweed, Sarah, Xiao Zhao, Ariel, and the half-elf wolf cavalry squadron and summoner squadron who have turned into human forms.
Including himself, the total is 305 people, plus one stone.
"Even so, it doesn't mean that I don't have a way to break the situation."
Ningmei pondered for a moment, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then began to deploy.
"Hahaha, give this leader all your strength to attack!"
In the center of the tightly defended Chinese army, the orc leader's rough and ferocious face was filled with an uncontrollable sneer. Apparently, he had already forgotten the small defeat just now.
He still has more than 90,000 orc soldiers in his hands. Years of continuous conquests between tribes have greatly reduced the number of orcs, but those who can survive are all good soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles.
Under such circumstances, it would be easy to capture this small Luolong City.
"Human race, when the time comes, my leader will personally twist off your head, and then kill everyone in this city with you. This is the consequence of resisting my leader."
"As for the next step, it is natural to cooperate with the "allies" and go straight to Wangxing City. Of course, looting along the way is also indispensable. This area you cherish will soon turn into a complete purgatory. ”
Thinking of this, the orc leader's smile grew even brighter, and he ordered his heralds to continue to increase their offensive.
Just when the Orc leader was feeling complacent, he suddenly felt something.
The ground where he was, with soil and stones dancing together, began to tremble uncontrollably. (End of chapter)
