When Xu Lai's physical strength recovered to about 30%, Elvi returned.
She brought the latest information about the orcs. In addition to their troops, the orcs also brought several catapults and a large group of ballistae.
The most notable features of crossbows and catapults are their long range, and their damage is mostly determined by the equipment itself.
In the entire Qingfeng City, except for a few top-level sky shooters and master shooters, the rest of the shooters want to compare their range with catapults and ballistas. That is a no-brainer.
But fortunately Xu Lai had the Phantom Bow at this time, which allowed his long-range troops to deal full damage within the range.
Even if Qingfeng City's crossbows and catapults are slightly inferior in quantity, their output will not fall behind.
To unleash the power of the Phantom Bow, Xu Lai could only equip the Phantom Bow. Even his battle flag was given to Tahan. Even if he wanted to fight at this time, he could only use long-range.
The temporary camp is actually a place where pots and stoves are buried, without even a tent being set up.
While the troops at the stronghold were resting and assembling the catapults, Xu Lai also hurriedly let the cavalry rest and eat.
The priests have entered the city, and the Abokar brothers and Sheriff Aaron and others are responsible for settling these priests.
These priests can be either melee fighters equipped with holy light for close combat, long-range units that can launch holy light balls from behind, or auxiliary units that release healing and auxiliary spells.
Therefore, these priests need to be used flexibly. Suya personally leads them and specially invites Elena to assist them.
The key point is that these priests are guest soldiers. If it is handed over to Dill or Urdola, Suya is afraid that they will directly let these priests block the gate.
La Jinsi is a devout believer in the God of War and will not resist any orders from the temple.
But even so, the appearance of Elena and the fact that there was such a large-scale sacred church in this remote prairie city still filled Larkins' heart with comfort.
Orcs are units of the neutral camp, and the Paladin's punishment is ineffective against them, and their output capability will undoubtedly be reduced a lot.
Lakins told Elena that she hoped to go out of the city to the headquarters of the Sixth Knights to bless the knights.
Although the city is safe, this is not the style of priests like them.
After the priest advances, he becomes a priest, but at the priest level, there are actually two paths.
Those who want to develop into high priests need to continuously practice martial arts from the beginning of becoming priests, while those who want to become bishops need to study more divine arts.
Therefore, although Elena is a priest like them, they have two different styles, because Elena's master, Ron, wants Elena to continue to follow the path of a priest.
La Jinsi sent a message to Su Ya through Elena, and Su Ya passed on La Jinsi’s idea to Xu Lai.
Xu Lai refused in one breath and asked Su Ya to tell La Jinsi to help defend the city.
Even with the addition of a sacrificial group of more than 3,000 people, the task of defending the city is not so foolproof, especially since the opponent seems to have a high-level siege hero.
No one understands the role of a hero more deeply than Xu Lai.
Qingfeng City has been fully mobilized. Su Ya waved his hand and Xu Lai added 200 militia shooters to his command.
These 200 militia shooters, whether in the hands of Su Ya or Dill, are equivalent to ordinary level 2 or 3 shooters.
But with Xu Lai's blessing, these 200 militia shooters are at least equivalent to level 4 or even level 5 field shooters.
The key is that Xu Lai's blessing does not conflict with Su Ya and the others. The flame shooters and explosive shooters led by Dill will definitely explode this time.
Phantom Divine Bow plus master-level archery, a full 70% long-range power bonus, as well as intermediate tactics and high morale bonus, the damage is almost doubled.
Even if these 200 militia archers are included, including those heavy crossbowmen, the number of archers in Qingfeng City is only one-tenth of the number of orc warriors.
However, there are still nearly 200 archmages and magicians on the city wall. Now there are 3,000 more priests. The city wall reduces damage, and there are several arrow towers to increase damage.
Although there are more than 5,000 orc warriors, their long-range ammunition reserves are too small, and they cannot be the opponent of Qingfeng City in a confrontation.
As for the flying troops of the orcs, it should be fine just to bully the griffins, but if an archangel troop led by Seraph is mixed into them, the result will be the opposite.
Yan Feng, with his horse archers and Pegasus knights, has already gone out to investigate and harass.
Xu Lai, the other close combat cavalry, and the Sixth Knights all remained stationary and waited for work.
In addition to sending supplies to Xu Lai, Su Ya also replenished Xu Lai's troops. Su Ya recruited all the previous three-star moon and this month's cavalry.
These cavalry couldn't do anything if they stayed in the city, so they all came to Xu Lai, making Xu Lai's cavalry regiment officially exceed 500 people.
The cavalry training camp can only provide 5 level 4 trainee knights every month, but Xu Lai has the feet of the God of War, so the basic growth coefficient of the trainee knights is 5*1.5, and 7 can be recruited every month.
Therefore, 21 trainee knights were recruited in the Three Stars of the Moon alone.
Although there is no triple effect of the Three-Star Chain this month, after upgrading the base camp, the basic growth coefficient has increased by 50%, which can be doubled to recruit 10 trainee knights. Therefore, in the past two months alone, 31 trainee knights have been recruited.
Su Ya also gathered more than 200 knights from the mercenaries who had defected to Qingfeng City, security guards from the security team, caravan guards, and promoted herdsmen, and sent them all to Xu Come here.
Except for the 31 recruited knights who were incorporated into Tahan's team by Xu Lai, the rest were consumed by Joseph and his team captains.
The cavalry officer Xu Lai prepared in advance finally played his role in such a situation.
This rest lasted for a long time, so long that Xu Lai almost doubted whether the orcs had given up the attack.
Unfortunately, this did not happen. When Nofa took the hired men and pushed the transport trucks through the gate of time and space, the orcs took action.
Xu Lai's door to time and space was opened too hastily. It took Nofa and the transport team a long time to arrive at the door to time and space.
The orcs had also scouted Xu Lai's troops early, and even the sword dancers they sent out had already walked around Qingfeng City in order to find out the weak points of Qingfeng City.
Not even Xu Lai can figure out what Qingfeng City looks like now. Although the orcs have observed it, they still don’t know where the weak points are.
There was no danger in Qingfeng City, so Su Ya simply built high walls on all sides. The height and strength of the walls on each side were the same.
Although Count Aini provided the orcs with a rough city defense map, the map only showed the trebuchets at the four corners and the arrow towers behind the four walls.
Rough statistics show that no matter which side you attack, the number of trebuchets you need to face is the same.
Furthermore, although Qingfeng City uses fixed catapults and the arrow tower position cannot be moved, all ballistae are movable.
It is even more impossible for the orcs to divide their troops. Firstly, the troops are already tight. Secondly, if they divide their troops, Qingfeng City will only use arrow towers and catapults more, causing greater casualties to the orcs.
Originally, Burlage was already eager to attack, but York felt that there must be something fishy about the portal at the entrance of Qingfeng City.
Sure enough, they had really waited for the opportunity. A large group of civilians poured out of the gate of time and space, and the gate of the city also opened.
However, this is just Xu Lai's plan to lure the snake out of the cave. His time is precious, and he has no time to care about whether the orcs have backup or supplies.
Since the orcs can hold their temper, he simply gives the orcs a greater temptation.
As expected, the orcs couldn't hold it back and their eyes turned red as soon as they saw the city gate open.
In fact, once the battle begins, the door to time and space will be closed.
The civilians who have already come out don’t need to be afraid. Just follow Nofa and quickly enter the city. If the orc troops want to quickly seize the city gate, the only ones they can use are cavalry and flying troops.
After being defeated by Xu Laihuo, Talosi's command was reduced to the most elite personal guards and a group of recruited wolf riders.
There are more than 2,000 wolf riders, all of whom are at least level 6, and their deterrence is not small.
However, with nearly 3,000 cavalry, less than half of which were level 7 or above, Xu Lai was not at all afraid.
Xu Lai only had more than a hundred knights before, so he was certainly not qualified to fight the wolf knights head-on.
But now our own troops have the advantage, and Xu Lai himself has also learned the ultimate offensive technique, which gives him an advantage in defensive techniques compared to Talosi.
After all, it is a narrow suspension bridge, and Talosi did not send too many wolf riders. If there were too many wolf riders, they could only pile up beside the suspension bridge.
There are a total of 300 level 7 wolf warriors who have opened the Overlord Body. Taloxi can be regarded as spending some money. After all, by occupying the suspension bridge and the city gate, he avoids the trouble of smashing the wall.
Of course Xu Lai can't let Talosi succeed. With 300 wolf warriors, once the hegemonic body is activated, the spells have no effect. He can only rely on human lives to exchange with these wolf riders.
So, Tahan held the battle flag in his hand and led Xu Lai's cavalry regiment to charge forward without stopping.
Yan Feng took away the horse archers and the gale knights from his squadron, but Xu Lai's headquarters still had 500 people including those knights who were added later.
500 Cavalry vs. 300 Cavalry, even if the level is a little worse, Xu Lai will not suffer a loss due to the advantage of specialization.
Talosi, who was sitting at the rear, also had the ultimate tactic. The wolf cavalry in the front had a 25% bonus to all attributes. In addition, in order to gain time at this time, a cavalry rapid assault formation was used.
Thanks to Xu Lai being close and well prepared, Tahan and the others were already ready to attack and had charge skills, otherwise they might not be able to stop this group of wolf riders.
This mutual charge is related to the most important morale of both sides. Whether it is the rear of the wolf riders or the rear of the paladins, there are countless people watching.
Talosi made a clanging sound and drew out the sword from his waist.
But he held it back and did not take action himself. Instead, he looked at Burlage on the side.
As an ogre, Bragg is one of the few people in the stronghold who can cast spells.
With a wave of his hand, the bloodthirsty thaumaturgy that the ogre is best at fell on all the wolf cavalry troops. (End of chapter)
