Chapter 284: The Remnants Alliance

The next day, that is, the fourth day when Bai Xiaowen took over the second main quest [Black Rock's War].

Early morning.

The bell above the city wall was runged, and on the distant horizon, a black army appeared, accompanied by wild trumpets and desolate drums.

Prince Nicholas stood at the head of the city, his brow furrowed like a statue. Beside him was Archbishop Arlo, who was also frowning.

The other human commanders also came to the city wall.

Exclamations, one after another.

As the distance closes, the peak military appearance of the remnant coalition army in the distance also appears in the field of vision of many high-level leaders of the human coalition army.

A group of velociraptor trolls act as outposts and leap forward. This is the Troll Velociraptor Hunter unit, followed by a phalanx of other troops.

A phalanx of orcs riding huge wolves marched in unison.

"Elite wolf cavalry of the orcs!" someone recognized.

The cavalry was followed by the infantry. These infantrymen have dark complexions, slender and sharp ears, and elven features, but the clothing style is dominated by dark tones, especially the women in them, in the cold wind of the northern frontier, they actually expose a large area of dark skin, only a few thin pieces of cloth at the key points, and they are really not afraid of the cold.

"The scimitar warriors of the dark elves actually have a full four thousand formations!" it was the Earl of Denton who spoke.

Between the infantry phalanx of the dark elves, there were also behemoths. It was a giant beast in the shape of a lizard, with thick emerald skin and a single horn on its protruding snout.

"Thunder Behemoths! God, the presence of these Behemoths will be enough to make up for the magical deficiencies of those barbarians......" Nicholas's magic advisor sighed.

In the sky, there was a sound of breaking the air, and groups of flying soldiers formed shadows covering the ground below. These remnant flying soldiers are all slender and small, most of them women, with eagle-like wings growing on their backs.

In their slender hands, they held short bows, and their arrows shimmered with cold light.

"Harpy marksman, damn it, when did there be so many birdmen in the Sin Domain, these feathered brutes can give birth!" Another old lord of Northern Xinjiang recognized the origin of this flying unit.

The phalanx composed of the elite troops of each remnant could leave a wave of exclamation on the walls of the Black Rock Fortress.

Seeing the terrifying number of the remnant coalition forces, and then thinking of their combat effectiveness...... Most of the nobles of the Human Coalition felt a deep sense of fear.

A few days ago, the scene at the ball was awakened from many people's memories. Many people have looked for the figure of the young lord who dared to speak the truth, but was ridiculed by the collective.

Before they could find it, a dull drum sounded, and from the orc wolf cavalry phalanx, a tall orc riding a giant wolf stepped out of the crowd.

The orc was extremely thick and burly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was the lingua franca of the Kane plane (ancient Latin), perhaps because of his jerky, and his speech was slow, almost word by word, like a hammer striking an anvil, and it was clearly transmitted throughout the battlefield.

"I, Absolon Herzlit, Grand Chief of the Orc Clan, Commander of the Coalition. ”

"Human ...... Surrender and live, as a slave. ”

"Defiance...... Slaughter the city!"

On the city wall, although they have been shocked by the military appearance of the remnant coalition army, many human beings still scolded.

Prince Nicholas's big hand wrapped in armor raised, stopped everyone's shouting, and said slowly: "Orc, with me, Black Rock City will definitely not fall. Stop talking with your sword!"

The Great Chief of the Orcs and the commander of the coalition forces, Absolon, had an indescribable smile on his fangs protruding from his face.

"Attack!"

This shout was shouted in the language of the remnants.

In the formation of the remnants of the coalition army, the originally desolate war drums suddenly became urgent, and a passionate feeling rose from the bottom of my heart. Countless remnant soldiers, wielding their weapons, rushed towards the walls of the Black Rock Fortress with a wild howl!

After entering the range of the walls and arrow towers, they were greeted with a rain of arrows. Although the remnant soldiers are all elite and have strong combat effectiveness, being shot by multiple arrows is also a dead end.

At the forefront of the charge was the phalanx of orc spearmen. However, the ravines surrounding Black Rock City took the orcs twice as long and paid more casualties before rushing under the walls.

A large number of half-orcs lay at the root of the city wall, and the follow-up half-orcs jumped onto the bodies of their comrades of the same clan with extraordinary agility, set up a human ladder, and soon stacked three or four layers, approaching the edge of the tall city wall.

These orcs, however, were exposed to the range of the human combined archers on both sides of the towers, and became live targets.

The archers of the human combined army shot a rain of arrows behind the orcs, and the human defenders on the city wall formed a flanking situation, and the orcs fell one by one.

"This kind of defensive formation in which the arrow tower and the city wall are horns of each other does have a high combat value. On the city wall, the Earl of Denton saw this scene and said to Prince Nicholas.

Prince Nicholas nodded: "If the orc commander was not stupid, he should not continue to storm the city wall stupidly like this......"

Sure enough, in the remnant camp, a horn sounded, and immediately elite soldiers such as troll headhunters and troll velociraptor riders rushed towards the arrow tower and tried to climb.

However, the difficulty of climbing the arrow tower is the same as that of the city wall, and it is also necessary to withstand the baptism of arrows from the city wall. Soon, tall corpses were piled up under each of the towers, as around the walls.

The furious orc vanguard began to slash the arrow towers with their weapons. After all, it is a makeshift arrow tower, and although it is also made of black rock, it is not as thick as the city wall. With a knife here and a hammer there, while the remnant army paid a lot of casualties, the arrow tower also began to become crumbling.

"Can't sit idly by and watch them tear down the towers, Prince, allow me to lead the charge!" exclaimed the Earl of Denton.

Nicholas shook his head slowly but firmly.

Everyone was stunned.

"These newly built arrow towers have already played a significant role, and it is already quite worth it for the enemy to pay at least dozens of soldiers' lives in order to destroy an arrow tower," said Prince Nicholas. In my opinion, now is not a good time to charge. ”

Archbishop Arlo on the side nodded approvingly: "That's right, the enemy has just begun to attack the city, and the morale is still very high, so it is not suitable for charging. Let's wait for the good news from Baron Dior......"
