Start with an Archangel

Howard issued the most severe order to the NJ city defenders. They are not allowed to leave the protection of the city wall. No matter how provocative the enemy is or how the enemy moves, everyone sticks to their positions and completes their tasks.

Therefore, no matter how loud the orcs clamored, the multi-ethnic defenders who came out of the city to defend were determined not to take a step forward.

Only the ballistas on the city wall occasionally fired an arrow, or after a roar, a cannonball crossed the moat lava river and the defenders outside the city, and landed in the open space between the two armies.

The crossbow gunners and gunners conducted pre-battle calibration exercises as usual. Crossbows and cannonballs are different from magic, which can hit wherever they are pointed. These parabolic weapons are easily affected by some objective conditions, causing the aiming point and landing point to deviate. Live ammunition must be fired before the battle, and then the impact point is affected by wind direction and environmental factors to provide a reference angle for other gun positions.

The catapults on the back of the city wall also threw huge boulders outwards, and observers in the air recorded the landing point of each boulder.

The abyss devils of the hell tribe flew along the city wall with multi-racial flying units. Some heroic units also rush out from time to time to show off their flying skills.

The orcs, who had a bad temper and advocated attack, couldn't stand it after seeing the defenders not leaving the city wall.

Amid Beamon's roar, the orcs' troops pressed forward.

Then, they stopped temporarily at the limit of the range of the war equipment that defended the city. The cannonballs and boulders fired by the defenders had rolled here and lost their potential energy. The Behemoths kicked these unsightly things away with contempt.

The cyclops came to the front, and a group of big-eared monsters, a first-order orc soldier, opened a transport truck carrying stones, and irregular-shaped stones rolled down.

Of course, the orcs are not willing to spend resources to transport the stones thrown by the Cyclops from the stone wilderness. These stones are all stones they pulled from the warehouses of the orc cities in the main world, and some are stone bricks removed from the city walls.

The shape of these stones is very irregular, and the weight is not uniform. If thrown like this, the flight trajectory will be difficult to grasp. It will not hit the target and cause the stones to roll up after landing and cause secondary damage.

Therefore these stones need to be trimmed and polished.

The big-eared monsters gathered around the pile of stones, took out chisels and hammers, and knocked on the stones, knocking off the edges and corners on the stones to make them smooth and spherical.

The finished stone ball was rolled to the feet of the Cyclops.

The Cyclops lifted the stone ball and moved forward again. They wanted to bring the defenders standing outside the city within their shooting range, and then used intensive attacks to smash a path to the NJ city wall for the subsequent army's attack.

At this time, above the gate of NJ City, Howard ordered the war equipment on the city defense to start attacking.

Two abyss devil heroes responsible for delivering orders took off from the city gate tower. They shouted the order to attack under a green flag and flew left and right along the crenellation line of the city wall at high speed.

Where the Abyss Devil flew over, thick smoke rose, and in a series of roars, black projectiles were shot towards the enemy in the distance.

Ballistas fired short spears, and rows of catapults threw boulders high into the sky.

The NJ city defenders opened fire first, using war equipment to pour cannonballs, short spears and stone balls through various firing methods towards the advancing line of the orc army.

The orc army was overwhelmed by the sudden attack of the defenders. The spherical solid cannonballs bounced off the ground and then flew low into the orc army; the boulders rolled and were crushed all the way; the short spear handles could penetrate the bodies of several orcs.

Even Beamon couldn't last long in such an attack, let alone the Cyclops who were being taken care of, and fell down in a row in an instant.

Let out an unwilling whine.

Aren't we outside the range of the enemy's long-range weapons? How did they hit us...

Their tall bodies give Cyclops great strength, and also make them more vulnerable to long-range weapons. As the only long-range unit capable of attacking a city, the Cyclops is the highest priority target for the defenders.

In order to be able to attack these Cyclops as soon as possible, Howard designed a trap.

Long-range war equipment has a longer attack range than ordinary magic and long-range weapons. This attack distance is affected by many factors and is not a fixed value.

The NJ city defenders' war equipment calibrated the range, under Howard's order, to deliberately close the distance, allowing the orc army to make a wrong judgment on the attack range of the defenders' war equipment.

Therefore, when the orc army advanced and then stopped, thinking that they were still outside the farthest attack range of the defenders' long-range warfare equipment, the orc warriors on their leading line had already entered the range of the NJ city defenders.

The Cyclops who were preparing to throw stones were closer.

The misjudgment caused the orc army to suffer a head-on attack before it was ready, and the unprotected Cyclops on the front line suffered heavy losses. Without a large-scale long-range suppression force, rashly attacking a fortified city that is heavily defended both internally and externally is to die in vain. The orcs' goal is Shangjiang City, and they cannot lose too many troops in NJ City. Therefore, after the attack was thwarted, the orc army immediately retreated, retreating beyond the true furthest range of the defenders' war equipment.

This time, the orcs' attack was pushed back before it even started.

NJ City stopped attacking, the battlefield returned to silence, and then the entire city burst into cheers. They had never thought that they could repulse the attack of an army from a high-level plane. Although there would be more brutal battles waiting for them later, this battle allowed the defenders to see... that high-level planes are not invincible. of.

The defenders were as powerful as a rainbow.

The attacking orcs did not have a morale impact due to the failure of an attack. The civil war in the stone wilderness continues, and the orc warriors have experienced battles under any circumstances. For the bellicose orcs, death is not scary, nor are powerful enemies. The bloodier the battlefield, the more they can stimulate their potential combat effectiveness.

The retreating orc army reorganized a new attack, and the reserve one-eyed soldiers moved from the rear to the front, reorganizing into a long-range suppression team. The shamans stand together with the Beamon. In this attack, they will help the Cyclops create a defense line of physical resistance and magic resistance.

After the senior shamans realized that NJ City was not a soft persimmon, they began to perform divination with great gods.

Based on the results of divination, the orc army adjusted the position of the military formation and the main direction of attack after the war began.

After Howard saw that the orc army was preparing for the second attack for too long, he said to Daliang next to him: "I guess the orcs are using divination to interfere with the battle. Those are senior shamans who have mastered divination. No. Know whether the prophet you invited can compete with the enemy in divination.

We can't rely too much on mysticism, these are just auxiliaries.

I order you to conduct aerial reconnaissance of enemy deployments, take your team with you...be careful. "
