Lord Harland

Because the orcs had such a superior strength, the orcs' reconnaissance troops even appeared near Nitburg, shocking the city defense troops stationed at Nitburg three times a day.

Nitburg is about a hundred kilometers away from Military Station No. 10. This attack by the orcs can be described as overwhelming.

The aerial reconnaissance troops led by Harland could see the dense orc army after flying a few kilometers. The total number of orc auxiliaries maintaining the logistics line on the north bank of the Samba River is estimated to be close to one million.

Looking at the orc army camped two kilometers away from the No. 10 Military Station, Richard very decisively asked the artillery unit to open fire and attack. In fact, the orcs had entered the range of the magic crystal cannon a few hours ago. The reason why Richard waited for the orcs to set up camp and opened fire was to set a trap for the orcs and kill the orc soldiers as much as possible.

Eighteen magic crystal cannons were activated instantly, and the shells were accurately fired into the orc camp.

The shells used by the magic crystal cannon are all heavy-duty alchemical bombs, and the explosive power of a shell is somewhat stronger than the standard magic fireball. In addition, the damage range of shell shrapnel is also very large, which can be said to be the nemesis of dense crowds.

The orc army exceeds 100,000, and the camp is dozens of miles apart. The cannonballs can fall into the orc camp at will. Moreover, compared to trebuchets, magic crystal cannons are more accurate.

As the magic crystal cannon continued to fire, thirty rounds were fired in less than an hour. More than 540 large alchemy bombs hit the orc camp, and before the siege started, the orcs had already lost more than 2,000 people.

Normally, the orc army will usually camp two or three kilometers away from the city. Some brave orc commanders will even camp a few hundred meters away from the city to facilitate the orc army to attack the city.

The distance of two to three kilometers is already far beyond the range of human attack.

The top brass of the orcs never expected that in less than a year, the Dukedom of Harland would actually invent a new weapon. After seeing the power of this magical weapon with their own eyes, some smart officers among the orcs immediately understood that this new type of magic Weapons are enough to change the pattern of war.

The orcs originally planned to besiege the city first, assemble heavy trebuchets, and make preparations to launch an attack. However, in the current situation, they could only be beaten and unable to fight back. It takes a day or two to assemble the trebuchet. The orcs have only a few long-range offensive units and cannot fight against the magic crystal cannon.

Harland has been leading the army to operate the northern defense line of the Eagle Mountains for two years and has accumulated a large amount of weapons and supplies. Castle No. 10 alone stores 12,000 artillery shells and 30,000 alchemy bombs.

There is also an alchemical artillery shell manufacturing workshop in Depot No. 10, which can produce 60 artillery shells every day, which is a great supplement to the front line.

The loss of two thousand people was insignificant to an army of hundreds of thousands, but the current situation of being beaten and unable to fight back gave the orc commander an extremely headache.

If the situation cannot be improved, the orc army will be directly defeated by the eighteen alchemical cannons.

There are only two options in the current situation, either to retreat immediately or to attack immediately.

Failure to prepare for the siege and attacking the enemy's strong fortress is equivalent to wasting soldiers. Even if the orcs are outnumbered, they will only lose their lives.

As a last resort, the orcs had no choice but to abandon the repaired camp and prepare to retreat back, out of the range of the magic crystal cannon.

Retreating on the battlefield is a big skill, especially for an army of hundreds of thousands. Organizing a retreat is far more difficult than attacking.

As soon as the orcs decided to retreat, they fell into chaos.

Seeing the appearance of fighter planes, despite the huge gap in strength between the two sides, Richard left 3,000 soldiers to defend the city and personally led the 12,000 defenders of Station 10 to launch a fierce attack.

Seeing Richard leading his troops out of the city, even though his side was defeated, the two legendary Jackals and Melonla hidden among the ordinary orcs were extremely happy.

No matter how much ordinary orcs suffer, as long as they can successfully seize the opportunity to kill Richard, their strategic goals can be achieved. If one masters a legendary fourth-level magic item, it can even determine the strategic balance of a governor's region.

"If I can get the legendary fourth-level magic item, my status in the royal court will greatly increase, and I can even compete for the highest position."

Thinking of this, Melonla was also a little excited.

As long as Richard releases the star bomb in the war, once the magic power is severely consumed, a fighting opportunity will come for Melonra and the legendary jackal.

After all, according to the ninth-level giant, the power of the starlight bomb is too terrifying. Even if Melonla has a defensive legendary first-level magic item, he may not be able to save his life if he resists the starlight bomb head-on.

For the orcs, the key to this battle is surprise, to make the orcs' legendary attacks sudden.

Therefore, Melonra and the legendary gnolls were hidden in the ordinary orc brigade.

Melonra is hiding in the ninth brigade of the 48th Orc Legion and is organizing the team to prepare for withdrawal. The legendary Jackal is hiding in the fourth brigade of the 129th Orc Legion. This brigade has been hit many times by magic crystal cannons and is about to collapse.

The apparent commander of this attack was still the ninth-level giant owl. The ninth-level giant owl ordered the commander of the Thirteenth Orc Legion to shoulder the heavy responsibility of ending the attack.

Seeing Richard charging with the Warcraft Cavalry, the Giant Owl Commander hurriedly mobilized the most elite first infantry group of the Thirteenth Legion to form a formation to resist the Warcraft Cavalry.

This brigade, like the first brigade of infantry led by Harland, is the backbone of the orc ace force. There are more than 800 professional officers in a brigade.

Seeing the elite orcs blocking the front, Richard decisively released the starlight bomb. A beam of starlight fell onto the orcs' formation, directly destroying the elite orcs behind them.

After defeating the first brigade of the Thirteenth Orc Legion, Richard led the second battalion of Warcraft Cavalry to charge forward and defeated an orc brigade on the flank before the infantry decisive battle. Before a full-scale war broke out between the two armies, the Thirteenth Legion Two brigades were lost, with more than 3,000 casualties.

At the same time, the magic crystal cannon on the No. 10 Military Station also began to attack the retreating orcs. The cannons continued to fire, and the fierce fire caused heavy losses to the orcs who were preparing to retreat.

Seeing the fierce fighting power of Harland's army, the commander of the Thirteenth Orc Legion hurriedly dispatched the serpentine brigade to protect his retreat and block the Warcraft cavalry.

After seeing the magic crystal cannon at the top of the city, the orc army commander immediately understood that this weapon must be the nemesis of the snake body army that moved at an average speed.

Equipped with a large number of magic crystal cannons, although the snake-like people are powerful in combat, they will inevitably become an obsolete unit.

The serpentine brigade turned around and prepared to stop the Warcraft Cavalry. However, Richard did not intend to let the Warcraft Cavalry fight with the Snakehead Brigade. If they fought hand-to-hand with the Snakehead Brigade, the Warcraft Cavalry would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Richard commanded the second brigade of Warcraft Cavalry to turn their horses around and bypass the blocking snake-like man. Pass through the gap between the two orc brigades, and prepare to find another opportunity to attack the enemy.

The Snakeheads were not good at long-range projection. Even though Harland led the second brigade of Warcraft Cavalry to expose the flanks, the Snakehead heavy infantry could not seize the opportunity. If the orc archers' weakness was exposed, the second brigade of Warcraft Cavalry would have suffered heavy casualties in that attack just now.

The Warcraft Cavalry bypassed the Snakeheads, but Harland, who was in the second echelon of attack and led the first brigade, launched a fierce attack on the Snakeheads without hesitation.

The first one to take action was the magician accompanying the infantry. Sophia immediately opened the bottle of starlight and released eighteen steel golems. Under the control of the magician, they fiercely crashed into the snake formation.

The steel golems have rough skin and thick flesh, and their hand-to-hand combat power is much stronger than that of a ninth-level knight. Although the number of eighteen steel golems is not large, the impact is already very amazing.

There were only 400 soldiers in the serpentine brigade, and the formation was not thick. They were charged by the eighteen steel golems, causing heavy casualties.

As soon as the steel golem crashed into the snake formation, the blows of exploding arrows and alchemical bombs suddenly came. Harland led the first group of archers with more than a hundred people. These people were all equipped with fourth-level exploding arrows, plus several hundred meters The grenadiers attack.

Although the explosive arrows and alchemy bombs are very powerful, it is difficult to cause damage to the steel golem, but if they hit the snake body, they will be instantly killed and injured.

After a round of fierce attacks, the Snakeman brigade had suffered more than half of its casualties and was almost defeated.

Because the charging speed was very fast, the long-range attack only lasted for one round. The first squadron, which acted as the attack arrow, did not hesitate and followed the steel golem to launch a fierce attack on the snake body from the front.

In an instant, the serpentine group could no longer hold on.

The Thirteenth Legion is the number one trump card of the Grassland Governor-General. This Orc Legion has strengthened three professional elite soldiers. In addition to the Snake Man Brigade, there is also the Orc Brigade and the Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry Brigade. In addition, the combat effectiveness of the first brigade of this legion is also very powerful.

This legion has a total professional army of five to six thousand people and is almost the leading force in the Prairie Governor-General Region.

Although the Grassland Governor-General has organized and trained sixty-eight legions, there are only three legions at the top of the list, and their combat effectiveness is almost as different as that of the Thirteenth Legion. Among them, the 17th legion has been surrounded and annihilated by the Harland leader. The 19th legion is deployed in the Feili Highlands to fight against the elites of the Lion Kingdom. The 27th legion guards the core of the grassland governorate.

The transfer of two powerful legions to the Eastern Front to fight against the Harland Territory is enough to show that the Harland Territory has become a thorn in the side of the Prairie Governor-General.

Unless the orcs can be completely defeated in this battle, there is no telling how many years the war will last.

The Thirteenth Army, the first ace of the Prairie Governor's Region, had not been fighting against the army led by Harland for a long time, and had already suffered heavy losses. The first group was destroyed by the starlight bomb, and the sixth group was attacked by the Warcraft Cavalry led by Harland and fell into disintegration. , the Snake Man Brigade was attacked by the Iron Golem and the First Brigade led by Harland, and was slaughtered in a short time.

Without the serpentine brigade to break up the rear, the seventh orc brigade bore the brunt. Facing the first brigade led by Harland who had strengthened the mage group, this ordinary orc brigade was unable to stop it. In an instant, it was already in a predicament of collapse.

Seeing this scene, the eighth-level Silver Wolf, deputy commander of the Thirteenth Army, gritted his teeth and charged forward with the Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry, hoping to attack the flanks of the first brigade led by Harland and contain the enemy.

Seeing that the Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry jumped out, Richard decisively released the second starlight bomb. A starlight fell on the Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry's attack route. Although the Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry's formation was spread out, more than half of them died. people. Even the eighth-level Silver Wolf was unlucky and died on the spot.

Seeing that the Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry was defeated by the starlight bomb, Richard immediately led the second group of Warcraft Cavalry to harvest the heads. Caught off guard, only a few of the remaining Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry escaped.

Having seen the power of the Star Bomb twice, both the legendary Jackal and Melonra had strong shock on their faces.

According to the information obtained by the ninth-level giant, Richard could release three star bombs in one battle. The legendary jackal and Melon La decided to wait in a tacit understanding. Wait until Richard consumes all his magic power before launching a surprise attack.

The Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry was annihilated by the army led by Harland. The fate of the Seventh Orc Battalion was already sealed. It was defeated by the First Battalion led by Harland in a short period of time.

At this moment, five brigades of the orc rear troops had collapsed, three of which were still strong orc soldiers.

The battle has reached this point, and the follow-up troops led by Harland have caught up and fought together with the orcs' rear-end troops.

The last elite half-orc brigade of the Thirteenth Orc Legion also launched an attack, shooting countless strong bows and arrows at the first brigade of soldiers.

Orcs are powerful and specialize in archery. Among the more than 2,000 soldiers in this brigade, there are more than 1,000 people with archery skills above level three. With excellent archery skills and powerful strength, the attack power of Orc archers is amazing.

Seeing the rain of arrows coming, the officers of the first brigade raised their force field shields one after another, and the magician also released the second-ring magic protection arrows, holding up the magic shield to protect the nearby soldiers.

Although the soldiers of the first group were well-equipped, they were still hit by this round of arrows, injuring more than a hundred people. Even though all the soldiers in the first brigade have learned the breathing method, their fighting spirit is not strong enough to support a standing shield. Ordinary iron shields cannot block the powerful bows and crossbows of the orcs. Even if they wear iron armor, they will still be shot by the orcs. , basically they will be seriously injured and lose their lives.

Seeing that the orc archers were so lethal, Sophia, who commanded the first brigade to fight, immediately sent out the steel golem, and saw streaks of light blooming from the steel golem. In an instant, the speed increased several times. In an instant, the kung fu Appeared near the orc group.

Although the steel golem is huge in size, it is also very heavy. It does not move very fast under normal conditions. Although it is faster than the snake body group and ordinary infantry, it cannot catch up with the elite soldiers of the professionals. However, this kind of high-level magic creation has four rings of magic engraved inside it, which can make up for its shortcomings to a large extent.

After using this magic, the steel golem's burst speed is no less than that of the Warcraft Cavalry running at full speed.

Seeing that the steel golem was about to break into the orc army, a dozen strong men suddenly rushed out from among the orcs. These orcs are all high-level professionals and have different races. A dozen strong orcs took action and stopped most of the steel golems. Only a few rushed into the formation of the orcs, unable to disrupt the formation of the orcs.
