Chapter 867 The smoke dissipates under Luolong City
Just as Lei Xiao answered the call and was talking.
On the other side of the scorching battlefield, the Orc leader, who had been beaten with Japanese knotweed and was sluggish, still refused to give up and kept shouting loudly at the other Orc soldiers.
"The human race's magic scroll has been exhausted, and it will soon be unable to hold the door. Rush in at all costs!"
Hearing the cry of the Orc leader, the Orc soldiers who had already surrounded the city gate shouted loudly and accelerated the attack.
I saw a series of blocking ice walls and ice rings exuding cold air, which were quickly destroyed by the corrosive magic of the half-orc strongman holding a blunt weapon and the half-orc shaman.
Even the Knotweed clones and the Gracilaria clones were overwhelmed by the orc soldiers who came one after another, and soon turned into little energy particles.
In the process of crazy destruction, the strong orcs in the front row were delighted to discover.
Just as the leader said, these obstructive ice walls and rings did not reappear!
This undoubtedly means that Lei Xiao, who is blocking the door, has used up the magic scroll!
"Hahaha, you are indeed a leader who knows everything! That human race is already a grasshopper after the fall!"
A half-orc shaman, surrounded by guards, raised his staff high and fired out a forest-green corrosive light while shouting: "Kill that human race and rush into Luolong City!"
For a time, the morale of all the orc soldiers was greatly boosted. They raised their weapons and battle flags high, roared and rushed towards the city gate, as if they had seen the dawn of victory!
As long as they are allowed to rush into the city, everyone in the city, old and young, will die without a burial place!
However, when the half-orcs, filled with fighting spirit, finally broke through the last ice wall and arrived in front of the city gate despite the constant arrows above their heads, their faces were stunned, and their howls stopped abruptly.
I saw that the wide-open city gate had been closed long ago, making the city look impregnable again, leaving only the corpses of dead orcs on the ground.
Before the orcs could react, spells cast by a large number of magic scrolls fell from the sky, directly turning the city gate into a sea of fire.
In the sea of fire, countless orc soldiers were scurrying back and forth like headless flies. Screams and curses, mixed with the smell of burning, filled the air.
"Rewind!"
Seeing this, the orc shaman who shouted the loudest just now abandoned the surrounding heavily armored guards and ran back.
But before he could take a few steps out, a dense rain of arrows roared towards him, directly hitting a hedgehog within range.
On the towering Luolong City Wall, Lei Xiao looked at the orc army in chaos below the city, and ordered Hongshi to use full firepower and not to hold anything back.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that the time had come.
The constant sound of magic cannon fire and the sky full of arrows are just a punch to further break the opponent's will!
Just now, Lei Xiao received two calls one after another.
The first call came from an excited Ariel. The brave Princess Cold Flame fulfilled her mission and together with Sarah finally defeated two fierce and violent vampires and successfully recaptured the city gate control room.
This is also the reason why Lei Xiao was able to close the city gate in time and return to the city wall.
The second call came from Chao Yan of Velen City, reporting that Velen City had been completely stabilized.
Lei Xiao, on the other hand, ordered Chao Yan to go directly to Kongqing Town to help Lin, Fang Hai and others defend the other orc army that was besieging the city.
"Surely these half-orcs never thought that what would be in front of them in the end would be a city gate that was closed again, right?"
Lei Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, staring closely at the orc soldiers fleeing in embarrassment under the city wall, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"At least here in Luolong City, the scale of victory has tilted towards me again."
……
"That damn human race! It was so close!"
Seeing the soldiers under his command who had already rushed towards the city gate, they began to flee crazily again. The orc leader, who was embarrassed to avoid the edge of the tiger stick sword, had a look of embarrassment and anger on his face.
After being furious at Lei Xiao's incompetence for a moment, the half-orc leader spread his anger on the Black Duke not far away, shouting angrily: "What can open the city gate? The vampires are just a bunch of trash!"
"It's really a pile of mud that can't hold up the wall. It's unlucky for me to meet such friendly troops."
Hearing the curse from the orc leader, the Black Duke's face hidden in the hood was also filled with a sinister expression.
This group of despicable and brainless orcs used tens of thousands of soldiers to fight, but they were only blocked by the Lord Kongqing City. They were overwhelmed to the extreme!
At the same time, the Black Duke clearly understood.
Now that the gate of Luolong City has been closed again, it undoubtedly means that the two powerful vampire counts under his command have been killed by the other party.
"I really underestimated this Kong Qing City Lord. I originally thought that this guy's previous victory was just deeply hidden and finally caught him by surprise."
"And this time, after knowing enough about this guy's combat power and intelligence, he was able to turn things around like this. It seems that this guy is dangerous enough to shake a country."
"In order to control the Lengyan royal family, this son must not be kept!"
The Black Duke, who was in the atomized state, easily avoided Jiang Li's space tear while clenching his white fists.
In the past hundred years, no one has ever been able to kill two peak fourth-order vampire counts at the same time!
"Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to capture Luolong City. Just let these despicable orcs fend for themselves."
The blood-colored eyes of the Black Duke were full of disdain, and then turned into uncontrollable killing intent: "As for the Lord of Kongqing City, my trump card is still enough to easily destroy this area, even if he attacks Wangxing City from the front."
"Originally, the trump card was prepared to deal with the man in black robe No. 3, but now I don't care about that much. With my trump card, both the Lord Kong Qing and the man in black robe No. 3 will definitely die this time!"< br>
Thinking of this in his mind, the Black Duke escaped without a trace of hesitation in an atomized state, and soon completely disappeared in front of Jiang Li.
After the Black Duke left, the bat black mist completely dissipated, allowing Lei Xiao's cavalry archers and Loren's heavy infantry to completely break free from their restraints.
"Good opportunity!"
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered Xiao Huan, Bai Zhi, and Di Lun: "Reform the formation and prepare to kill the fleeing Orc soldiers. This will play the melody of victory for Luolong City for us." ! ”
"Jiang Li, let's escape with the Black Duke for the time being. Come back and join forces with the tiger stick to kill the orc leader first!"
Lei Xiao did not hesitate and ordered to the half-elf ancestor again.
"Yes! Lord!"
After receiving Lei Xiao's instructions, the subordinates immediately began to take action.
"You bastard vampire, you slipped away smoothly!"
Noticing that the Black Duke had escaped, the orc leader was still stern in his words, but he was already trembling in his heart.
Without the restraint of the Black Duke, this undoubtedly means that he will face the siege of two fifth-level powerhouses!
"The generals will protect me and retreat!"
I saw that the Orc leader did not hesitate. While asking for help from other Orc generals who were retreating, he turned around and tried to escape.
While turning his head, the half-orc leader looked at Lei Xiao on the wall with a look of reluctance.
This time I will spare the life of that human race, next time he must die!
"Gracilaria and knotweed, we must not let this culprit escape!"
Lei Xiao's sharp eyes also met the orc leader who was about to run away with his war hammer, and shouted: "We must not let the tiger go back to the mountain!"
"Yes!"
After Jiang Li and Hu Zhang finished talking, they had blocked the orc leader one after another.
"Void Shackles!"
The other side of time in Jiang Li's hand drew a cold arc, which directly distorted the space around the orc leader and imprisoned him on the spot.
"Little trick!"
The orc leader with a ferocious face gave a cold shout, and with great momentum around him, he broke through Jiang Li's blockade in the blink of an eye.
For him, who is also a fifth-level powerhouse, although his strength is not as good as Jiang Li's, it is still easy to break free from such hastily cast restraining spells!
However, due to all his efforts, the light of the energy barrier surrounding him was significantly weakened.
Before the orc leader could be happy for too long, he saw a giant sword flashing past him, cutting him into two pieces along with the dim energy barrier.
Needless to say, this is the signature attack of Knotweed, the Dragon-Smashing Slash.
"The leader is dead!"
Looking at the blood red that quickly spread all over the place, several fourth-level orc generals who had just been preparing to come for support turned around and ran away with panic on their faces.
For a moment, the news of the death of the Orc leader was like a tide, completely submerging the chaotic Orc army.
After so many repeated tortures by Lei Xiao, the morale of the remaining Orc soldiers had already fallen to the bottom, and the Orc leader had been killed.
The inner defenses of the remaining orc soldiers were completely broken, and they abandoned their armor one after another, and only the thought of escape was left in their minds.
And on the only way for the opponent to escape, the two puppet cavalry legions and the half-elf wolf cavalry have been waiting here for a long time.
Under the blood moon, screams echoed through the sky.
The continuous rain of arrows and extremely sharp lances formed one deadly net after another, constantly delivering invitations to death to the fleeing orc soldiers.
"Don't chase after poor bandits, and ignore these orcs who are no longer of concern."
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Lei Xiao recited words and ordered to the main subordinate commanders under the city: "Everyone returns to the city for a short rest. A new battlefield is waiting for us."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao looked at the embarrassed figures in the distance and nodded slightly.
At this point, Lei Xiao led some of the main subordinates and two elite squadrons to turn the tide.
The arrogant army of 100,000 orcs completely declared defeat, causing Luolong City to regain peace.
"Long live the kingmaker! Long live the guest! Long live the princess!"
Excited cheers rang out one after another on the walls of Luolong City, and did not dissipate for a long time.
Among the cheering crowd, Lei Xiao looked at Ariel who had returned to him, casually took out a handkerchief, and wiped away a stain on the fair cheek of the cold flame princess.
I have to say that Ariel and Sarah were really timely this time.
After receiving Lei Xiao's praise, Ariel's slightly tired and exquisite face immediately became energetic and full of joy.
Then, Lei Xiao first listened to the battle report of this Luolong City attack and defense battle.
More than half of our 30,000 goblins and 5,000 fallen dragon recruits suffered casualties.
However, with the help of a large number of healing potions and magic scrolls, the number of casualties has been kept to a minimum.
The orc soldiers that came menacingly lost seventy-eight tenths of them, leaving only about 20,000 to 30,000 people who fled back. Including the orc leaders, the mid-to-high-level experts suffered heavy losses.
As for the two Tier 3 squadrons brought by Lei Xiao, all summoner squadrons that did not directly participate in the battle are healthy.
One-fifth of the soldiers in the Half-elf Wolf Cavalry Squadron suffered varying degrees of injuries, but fortunately they were not life-threatening.
The two summoned puppet cavalry legions have a total of 13,000 cavalry left.
"Hongshi, Dragonfall City will continue to be handed over to you. The goblins of the Kingdom of Thorns have contributed a lot to this battle. If we finally win, I will definitely celebrate for you."
Lei Xiao nodded to the Goblin King, and then looked at the other subordinates.
"Sarah, you take Xiao Huan, Dylan and other members of the summoner squadron to cancel the summons of all the surviving puppets. I will ask Jiang Li to pick them up later."
Lei Xiao nodded to several summoning subordinates and ordered.
After this period of understanding, Lei Xiao knew clearly.
The profession of summoner is quite special. Although with the addition of the main body, it can often exert twice the combat power of ordinary strong men.
However, after the summoned object is defeated, the summoner himself will suffer a certain degree of magical backlash. Even if there is sufficient magic power, it cannot be summoned again in a short period of time.
And if you take the initiative to cancel the summoned object, not only can you return part of the magic power consumed during the summoning.
Moreover, it can also avoid the disadvantage of being unable to be summoned repeatedly, which is undoubtedly the best choice at this stage.
After all, with Jiang Li's teleportation network, Lei Xiao can instantly move to any place within his sphere of influence with his main subordinates.
As for Xiao Huan, who is the Stone of God, although he will not suffer magical backlash, he can still return a large amount of God's power by actively canceling the summons to prepare for the next summons.
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, Sarah and others saluted with their chests touched and immediately began to separate.
"As for the others, just follow me back to Kongqing Town to defend. No matter what, there can be no losses there."
Lei Xiao nodded to Jiang Lei, Ariel and others, and ordered again.
After finishing speaking, the solemn look on Lei Xiao's brows still hadn't dissipated even a bit.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that although Luolong City had been defended, the flame of victory might still be extinguished at any time.
Since the Black Duke escaped so easily, it means that the other party must still have other means that are enough to get him into trouble.
"The storm is about to come... I always feel that the real test of life and death is yet to come. I hope it's my illusion." (End of Chapter)
