Xu Lai couldn't sleep today. In the past few days, although he had been taking advantage, he had also been acting with the orcs.
It wasn't until the orcs mobilized their army and news of the death of cattle and sheep was reported from the hiding cave that Xu Lai regrouped the scattered troops.
The reconnaissance eye hiding in the cave has been extinguished, but Aini's men reported that the cattle and sheep had been successfully taken away by the orcs.
Xu Lai didn't know when the orcs would deal with these cattle and sheep, but he knew that once these cattle and sheep were taken away, they would be exposed soon.
Orcs are not humans. Even if they form an army, their order is still far behind humans.
The orcs may not dare to disobey military orders, but no one from top to bottom would care about some innocuous things, such as stealing a sheep or something.
Not only orcs, but even well-trained human armies are likely to have this problem.
Large-scale poisoning is like this. If the time when the poison is released cannot be controlled, it will be extremely easy to leak.
Xu Lai has not yet tested the properties of the new poison. He only hopes that the poison he spent tens of millions of gold coins on will not be wasted.
In addition to Xu Lai, there were also many people staying awake all night on the top of the stubborn stone city.
As the leader, Elf Reina invited several Pegasus knights to take her to high altitudes.
Although the air supremacy is in the hands of the orcs, the orc flying soldiers dare not approach along the Stone City.
There are terrifying shooters here. Once the flying altitude is lower than one thousand meters, they will immediately suffer a devastating blow.
At the same time, the angel troops led by Elvi and the griffon troops led by Rena have also been guarding this airspace.
The orcs also spent countless lives to test the strength of Stone City.
Sachs is not yet ready for a full-scale siege. After Stone Castle was upgraded to Stone City, the height and durability of the city walls have increased a lot.
If the city wall is not blown to pieces and the orc warriors are allowed to climb the city wall, the number of casualties will probably be extremely tragic.
So, Sachs set up the temporary camp very far away, at least ten kilometers away from Hard Rock City.
Even if you stand on the arrow tower of Hard Rock City, you can only see the glowing fire in the camp in the distance. You can only see it more clearly when you fly into the sky.
Speaking of which, Reina is actually not as nervous as Xu Lai, because compared with Xu Lai, she has a way out.
To put it bluntly, if Xu Lai was defeated by the orcs, it would be more beneficial to her.
Because from now on, she has no restraints and can choose her own life.
However, whether you are a human being or an elf, you cannot be without conscience.
She was rescued by Xu Lai, and after he was rescued, he treated her unreservedly.
Weapons and equipment, even artifacts, can be given to yourself without blinking an eye.
The same is true for the army. Xu Lai didn't even form a legion himself, and the first legion he established was completely left to her.
There was no city in the barrier camp on the grassland, so he simply left one of the twelve main cities in the underground city for her, allowing her to obtain a large amount of resources for building elf cities and the most critical barrier heart. .
Leina didn't know how to repay this trust at all. It seemed that it was not enough for anything other than death.
The appearance of the elves made Reina inexplicably scared.
She couldn't let go of her mother's clan, and she would never allow her to leave Xu Lai at such a moment, so she simply used the so-called oath to tightly confine herself.
Reina wasn't nervous at all, but worry was still unavoidable.
"General Elvi, when the war breaks out, the enemy's flying troops will definitely not be affected, which is also one of the variables tonight."
Elvi, who was guarding at the side, said : "Xu said that he is protected by the Holy Light Knight and there will be no problem. He asked me to stay in the city to prevent the enemy's flying troops from taking the opportunity to enter the city."
Leina smiled and said: "Don't worry. , during the day today, I have ordered all the shooters to rest
If the enemy goes the other way, I will let them come back.
And since Xu Lai has appointed me as commander-in-chief, General Elvi must also obey my command. I order you to lead the angel troops and griffon troops to attack the orc army at night. "
Elvi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I will only take the angels with me, and I will leave the griffin to you. "
Gryphons are not easy to come by. There are not many in the wild, and as flying soldiers, most people are reluctant to sell them.
Therefore, the entire Qingfeng Legion only has more than 600 birds in total, and even one Qiandu Minato was dissatisfied.
Rena shook her head and said: "With less than 700 gryphons, they won't be of much use if they are left here.
But if you take them to swoop in a wave, I dare not say there are too many, it should be more than enough to kill a few thousand orcs.
The key is now at night. The toxins plus sneak attacks, and a wave of mass deaths of orcs, will cause chaos, which may have a decisive impact on this battle. "
"But this is the only air force, Xu Lai said before. "
Leina said: "I am right between the orc camp and the city. With the blessing of my defensive talent, the griffins will not suffer too many casualties. "
After a moment of silence, Elvi said: "This is too dangerous for you. Xu Lai left me here just to protect you. ”
Reina shook her head and said: "I took a few Pegasus knights to hide in the grass. Where could the danger come from? On the contrary, I will be noticed only if you stay with me.
Besides, if there is danger, I will I can summon the dragon at any time and take the opportunity to escape back to the city. I don’t have the magical weapon and defensive talent to die if someone touches me!”
Although she has the power to command, Reina does not want to force it! Ordering Elvy, the previous order was just to get Elvy off the hook.
After all, in addition to being Xu Lai's first general, Elvi is also his woman. Her identity is completely different from that of ordinary generals.
“Okay, I understand.”
After saying this, Elvi and Reina fell into silence at the same time.
The two of them had a tacit understanding, and neither of them informed Xu Lai, lest Xu Lai would have any objections.
It was not until an hour later that the sky became completely dark, to the point where it was completely invisible without lights.
The campfires on the orc side have also been extinguished a bit. It seems that except for the patrols and night watch personnel, everyone has gradually gone to rest.
But at this moment, countless orcs began to groan in the camp.
"It hurts, my stomach hurts so much..."
Whether it is the low-level orcs lying directly on the grass, or the few high-level orcs who are qualified to live in a few tents.
Or it could be the patrolling orc warriors, or the orc high-level officials who are still discussing matters in the military tent.
Everyone who ate beef and mutton tonight began to feel a dull pain.
At first, some orcs could not stand the pain, but gradually some orcs began to lose health. Even those high-level orcs with higher physiques had unbearable abdominal pain and could not help but cry out.
The orc camp immediately became chaotic, and even the beast king Sachs himself felt strange in his body. Unlike other people, Beast King Sachs has a very high constitution and is extremely resistant to abnormal conditions and poisons.
Just like Xu Lai, the poison that can easily poison ordinary people to death falls on Xu Lai, but only loses one or two hundred points of health.
Even he felt something strange in his body, and even several shamans present looked embarrassed. This shows what happened to the ordinary orcs in the camp.
“What the hell is going on?”
Sachs spoke out. The orcs present were either high-level heroes, tribal chiefs, or high-level mages.
After all, the poison Xu Lai put in was diluted and the formula was adjusted, so it wouldn't be able to kill them for a while.
“It’s a highly poisonous poison. Judging from the physical reaction, it’s a highly poisonous poison specifically targeted at us orcs. It’s extremely difficult to deal with.”
As an eighth-level shaman, Ogu still has some abilities. A little bit.
I don’t know how he did it, but he actually forced all the toxins in his body into his little finger.
That skinny little finger looked extremely dark in the bright light.
Ogu took out the dagger without hesitation and cut off his little finger.
The shaman's healing skills cannot be compared with that of the priest, but he can still heal a little finger.
However, he can use magic to force poison, but others cannot.
And the people present are all high-level officials of the stronghold. If they all fall down, the stronghold will also be destroyed.
Therefore, Ogu teamed up with two other level 8 shamans to jointly release a large-scale natural spell, group poison exorcism.
None of the three of them are heroes, and they do not have corresponding spell specializations. Naturally, there is no way to cover everyone with spells.
Even if the three of them are combined, this group spell can only cover a radius of about 3 or 4 kilometers, which can cover the vast majority of orcs.
The detoxification technique had some effect and drove away some of the poison, but as Ogu said before, the poison came towards the orc group and could not be completely dispelled.
After all, Xu Lai spent a lot of money to build something. If a few shamans can easily break it with a spell, it will be too useless.
After the three shamans cast the spell, they collectively fell to the ground. It was Augu who still spoke:
"We have jointly released a large-scale group detoxification technique. Even though the poison cannot be completely eliminated, I think it will have a certain effect.
Your Majesty can order the other high priests and priests to place healing totems all over the camp to see if they can use the healing effects of the totems to survive the night. ”
< br>Another shaman also said: "As long as we can survive tonight, we orcs will be able to produce certain antibodies with our physique.
Although we will be haunted by this poison in the future, we will not be able to survive after all. No matter how life-threatening it is, we can always find a solution.”
"I'm afraid, I won't survive tonight.
This poison must have been poisoned by humans. How could they tolerate us treating it slowly."
The last shaman spoke, So the eyes of all the orcs were focused on the only mage on the field who seemed to be in trouble, Parame.
“Why are you looking at me like this? Could it be that I poisoned you? Even if I have this ability, I may not be able to poison everyone in the camp!”
The Beast King glanced at him and winked at the man below, and Axe King Monroka immediately struck down with his axe.
Fortunately, he was using the back of an axe, so he wouldn't be able to chop the person directly with the axe.
"Biqiman, please check the location of Xu immediately."
Biqiman is an ogre high priest, because Xu Lai has the blood of ogres. Cursed, his location is therefore invisible to the ogre's spells.
“No need to check, I have already heard him!”
Kenlo Hager suddenly stood up, summoned his huge ice wolf outside the tent, and flew towards his camp And go.
The camp of the wolf cavalry is not in the same place as the orc army. Because the wolf cavalry is not responsible for attacking the city, but harassing and plundering.
It’s just that Kenlo Hager came to discuss matters every day, so he had dinner in the big tent.
At this time, he no longer cared about the guards around him, he just wanted to rush back to the camp immediately to train the troops.
But just like what he said just now, Xu Lai and the others had already started moving when the turmoil broke out in the orc camp.
Only for the 5 or 6 kilometers ahead, Xu Lai and the others were just running normally. In order to save more energy for charging, the speed was relatively slow.
At the last 3 or 4 kilometers away from the orc camp, all the knights no longer had to worry. Under the leadership of the only ninth-level knight, they rushed towards the orc camp with their horses and whips raised.
After a few days of trembling, Xu Lai's team no longer has any new knights below level 4, and they are all trainee knights at least level 4.
For this charge, Xu Lai gathered all the knights' strength. Not counting the 7th and 8th level high-level knights, there were more than 10,000 in number.
Including those great knights, heroic knights, gallant knights, rangers, paladins, holy light knights, and wind knights, the number is more than fifteen thousand.
These fifteen thousand riders, even if they are lined up only two meters apart, can still travel more than 30,000 meters, which is a full length of 30 kilometers.
Of course, there is no distance of 2 meters between the knights, and not all of them line up in a row.
But even so, when these more than 15,000 knights charged, the whole earth began to tremble.
As for the orc camp, there was almost no resistance.
The only good thing for the orcs is that there is no requirement for food when recruiting soldiers, as long as they are edible.
Therefore, precious meat was not allocated to these recruited soldiers.
Now, they have become the only warriors in the entire camp who can resist the cavalry charge.
However, due to the chaos caused by the orc camp, and the orc commander responsible for commanding, it was difficult to form effective command due to the poison and severe pain.
Coupled with the pitch-black night, the recruitment of soldiers was scattered here and there, making it impossible to form effective resistance.
In a sneak attack at night, facing the charging knights, even if there are no special circumstances, the orcs may not have an easy time.
Now, it is even more impossible to stop the charging cavalry.
Many knights didn't even have time to hand over their lances. Countless orcs almost lay down on the grass and were trampled directly by the horses, trampling them into a pulp.
The only place that allowed this group of knights to stop for a while was the large area at the rear, which was set aside specifically for the giants to rest.
The giant who is good at long-range attacks, even with the blessing of the Beast King's ultimate defense technique, was rushed in front of him by the cavalry.
Faced with Tahan's ignoring defense and Xu Lai's god-level offensive skills, the performance was not much better than that of ordinary orcs, it was just a few more seconds of delay. (End of this chapter)
