Big-eared monsters are the food reserves of the orcs. The status of orcs in the stronghold is much higher than that of big-eared monsters. Even ferocious ogres will not eat half-orcs with half the same bloodline as themselves until they are extremely hungry. .
But to say that the identities of these orcs are the same as orcs is completely nonsense.
In the stronghold, the life of the orcs is not even as good as a second-class citizen. This is why the orcs are obviously long-range warriors, but they need to stand in front of the orc warriors.
Of course there is a reason why the orcs cannot launch, but it is not inevitable.
The most important thing is that orcs reproduce quickly and in large numbers, and they are also discriminated against. Their status is only slightly higher than that of rations.
The shield used by level 5 heavy shield infantry is a large shield that requires both hands to hold, and can completely cover the body in the shield.
Unless it is an attack from above, no matter how many flying axes are in the front, if you want to hurt these infantry, you must first break the shield.
The inner and outer layers are covered with thin steel plates. A two-meter-high shield weighs a hundred kilograms, and only a muscular man of level 5 or above from another world can carry it.
The requirements for orcs can be lowered. Level 4 orcs should be able to use it normally. However, there is no steel plate shield in the wilderness.
The banging sound of Dangdang continued to sound. Even with the blessing of the ultimate offensive technique and the durability of the steel plate blessed with advanced defensive techniques, it increased by 50%. Even after 2,30 flying axes were fired, more than half of the durability was still left.
Therefore, even in the face of direct attack, the human race's formation did not change at all, and they still moved forward calmly.
In real wars, archers have limited physical strength, especially those who pull heavy bows and powerful crossbows.
In the magical world, there are high-level archers whose physique and strength far exceed that of ordinary people. If they can draw a bow every ten seconds, it should not be a big problem for them to draw it for a whole day and night while ensuring that there is no shortage of food.
They are following this rhythm now. After shooting an arrow, they take a few steps forward, rest on the spot for two or three seconds and continue shooting.
Talosi frowned. The wolf cavalry did not need to attack. He also performed his duties as a commander, sitting high on the wooden tower of the base camp.
Our own long-range attack could not cause any harm to the human coalition forces, but those useless orcs were almost half-down under the long-range attack from the opposite side.
But it’s useless for him to frown. The ultimate offensive technique is powerful, but it has no effect on long-range damage. If you want to increase long-range damage, in addition to archery, the advanced lucky technique Rainbow Light can be used from time to time. A little bit of use.
However, this situation changed slightly after reaching the range of the orcs' straight arrows.
The sudden doubling of attacks, especially the rainbow attacks mixed in, is equivalent to four times the original damage.
The shields of several heavy shield infantrymen who were attacked by focused fire immediately shattered.
Fortunately, they were also wearing heavy armor in addition to heavy shields, so a few axes wouldn't be fatal.
The infantry leader who was also on the front waved his flag, and immediately new shield soldiers exchanged positions with him.
Because the equipment can be restored in the camp, the heavy shield infantry in front are recruited soldiers, so you don’t need to feel too bad if the shield is lost.
Xu Lai was at the rear and could not see the specific situation clearly.
But he knew that the phalanx was still moving forward. The priests had not received any treatment instructions so far, and the mages were the same, strolling leisurely.
Not only did morale not decrease, but after climbing to the top, it still felt like it was constantly rising.
All this proves that the situation is developing in the favor of the human race.
In fact, let alone the same number, even with fewer and more, if there is a battle between the human race and other camps, it will end in the victory of the human race.
Otherwise, it should be humans who are driven to the wilderness.
Orcs are tall and powerful. No matter which level they are, they basically have an advantage in single combat against humans of the same level.
But once a legion is formed to fight, especially the imperial camp among humans, once a formation is formed, the same number of enemies are no match at all.
The infantry commander on the front line completed the rotation of the heavy shield infantry with only a gap between an orc throwing an axe.
After the injured soldier drank a bottle of healing potion, he could still fight after pulling out his weapon, with little loss of combat effectiveness.
Looking at the orcs, under the hail of arrows, the orcs fell one after another like wheat.
Seeing that our long-range power was almost wiped out by the opponent's attack, the orc general at the base camp immediately persuaded:
"Commander, send out the Cyclops!"
Talosi shook his head without thinking: "No, the Cyclops' boulders only do more damage to the city walls. Anyone who hits them will die instantly. The one-eyed ones will The attack speed is really too slow.
Send one-eyes out to shoot against them. Even if they are one to two or one to three, we will suffer a big loss. We only have so many one-eyes in total. One-Eye, why don’t we go out, forget it, wait a minute!”
The commander of the Thunderbird Legion on the side asked for orders: “General, let us go. As soon as our flying soldiers get close, their shooters will lose their fire. .”
Talosi shook his head and said: "No, you have another purpose. This time I must completely eliminate this group of humans.
Pass my order and let the wolf cavalry prepare for battle!"
After all, only big-eared monsters and orcs have died so far, and Talosi doesn't feel the least bit distressed.
When the last orc was eliminated, the orc warriors banged their axes on their shields hard. The sound spread wider and wider, more and more orcs were knocking, and the frequency became more and more rapid.
Finally, probably when a critical point was reached, all the orc warriors rushed out collectively waving their shields and battle axes.
The infantry commander gave an order and all the infantry stopped moving.
The heavy shield infantry kneeled on one knee and pressed his body against the shield.
The heavy armored pikemen thrust out their spears. This time they did not retract half a meter to gather momentum, but directly inserted them diagonally on the ground to deal with the upcoming orc charge.
The crossbowmen did not fire their bows at this time. Instead, under the orders of their respective commanders, they resupplied arrows from the ammunition cart as quickly as possible.
This is a supply vehicle that is even more exaggerated than a supply vehicle. It can store hundreds of thousands or even millions of arrows, which is almost unlimited.
But compared with supply vehicles, ammunition vehicles can only store arrows, crossbows, etc., and have a relatively single purpose.
On the top of the city, Count Aini took out a monocular telescope. This treasure not only had the effect of magnifying distant objects, but also directly increased the field of vision by 15%.
Now that I am on the city tower again, I have a line of sight bonus. Although I can't see clearly the orc base camp dozens of kilometers away with this telescope, I can still roughly see the anxious battle situation between the two sides more than ten kilometers away.
The orc warrior wrapped his body with a shield and slammed his whole body into the forest-like spears.
On the battlefield, there were clicks and clicks everywhere, including the clicks of broken shields and the clicks of spears being squeezed apart.
Basically, the orcs are the ones who suffer. As long as the shield is broken, the spear must be pierced into the orcs' flesh.
No matter how thick-skinned and thick-skinned they are, their bodies are still made of flesh, not iron.
Coupled with the successive demise of the Big-Eared Monster and the Orc Legion, even with the bonus of bloodthirsty thaumaturgy, morale has dropped to the normal level.
This time, their ultimate offensive technique came into play. The ax in their hands, which ignored the defense of the master offensive technique, hit the shield with a click.
Heavy axes and flying axes are completely different concepts. A heavy shield that can withstand dozens of flying axes before bursting can often only last 5 or 6 rounds under the violent attacks of orc battle axes.
The 10% probability of the ultimate offensive technique is doubled, and the 30% probability of high-level luck is doubled. This means that their morale is not high now. If the morale is at full level, there will be an additional 5% probability.
Even a heavy shield with 50% increased durability cannot withstand the bloodthirsty attacks of the orcs.
The leader of the group of wild orcs is particularly crazy. They don't even wear basic leather armor. They only have two axes on their bodies. They can chop with the left and the right. The main one is violent and life-threatening.
The human infantry finally suffered visible casualties. While they were piling up their own defenses, it was inevitable that their attack capabilities would be insufficient.
At this time, the flag on top of the city finally waved again, and the priests around Xu Lai began to chant group healing spells one by one.
The priests and infantry were separated by several large arrays, so it was of course impossible to conduct high-intensity single-target treatment one-on-one.
They use group healing techniques, just throw them in a general direction.
Under such saturation treatment, as long as you are not killed by the orcs instantly, you can almost immediately recover most of your health within a few seconds.
The mages cannot cast their spells casually. Powerful spells usually do not have the function of distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy.
The forefront of the battle was like a meat grinder, with orc warriors and human warriors constantly falling.
The heavy shield infantry must hold the shield with both hands. Unless the shield is broken, they will be unable to fight back.
But they are not fighting alone. The spears of the heavy armored spearmen are still stabbing. The orcs attack the strong and defend the weak. While constantly breaking through the human infantry, they themselves are also suffering high amounts of damage.
The difference is that there are thousands of priests behind the human infantry. One priest's group healing can easily cover hundreds of people, and thousands of priests can cover almost the entire battlefield.
On average, it takes 5, 6, or even more orc warriors to fall before one human infantry falls.
This situation will not change much, at least until the priests' mana and the potions that replenish their mana are exhausted.
The orcs had no choice but to take advantage of the plains and continuously extend the front to both sides, forming a several-kilometer-long front, making it difficult for the commander of the human coalition to take care of both.
For this reason, even the wolf cavalry who had been reluctant to use them were pulled up. The charge of these guys was completely counterproductive in front of the spearmen, and the casualty ratio was even higher than that of ordinary orc warriors.
Although the orcs are more numerous, they will definitely lose if they fight like this, especially since the morale of the entire army has almost dropped to a low morale level.
Finally, the gates on all sides of the base camp were opened, and several terrifying figures that were as tall as three or four stories rushed out of the orcs' base camp.
As soon as these giant beasts appeared, cheers rang out on the orc battlefield, and with Talosi's timely encouragement, morale was instantly restored.
Xu Lai, who was at the rear, also saw these giant beasts. They were really eye-catching.
With the appearance of these giant beasts, Ruhong's morale, which was already unstable, dropped by two or three points in an instant.
Xu Lai snorted and asked Tahan to raise his pioneer flag high.
The killer weapon that appeared in the orc camp is surprisingly the 8th-level Behemoth with the title of King of Land Combat. (End of chapter)
