With a shuddering howl, the earth slammed, and the massive beastmen were draped in ugly heavy armor, armor more than 2 centimeters thick on top of their native armor, and would not hurt even if they were shot from a bed crossbow.

Instead, the big guy in their hands will act like a battering ram.

With the Behemoths as meat shields, trebuchets and siege crossbows were assembled at great speed in front of the enemy array, and the notches were aimed at the city wall to be fired.

Khiva was calm and composed, and the instructions were passed on to all corners by the adjutant.

Thousands of orcs traveled to and from the various passages of the 'Ant'Nest Core', moving in small mobile teams, swift and agile, and in Shiva's eyes, the giant orcs who walked with stupid steps were ignored, and the black orcs behind them had been attacked by the orc mobile team.

The 'Ant'Nest Core' is a defensive offensive attached to the rugged mountainous terrain and connected hundreds of underground passages with a huge underground space, not only underground, but also above ground, the complex and diverse mountainous terrain provides the outpost with a variety of natural rock masses.

The black orcs in front of them would not have expected that there was a hidden place in the mountain behind them that connected to one of the underground passages, and just as the orc team rushed out of the passage, several other teams had already climbed to the commanding heights of the peaks on both sides and activated the trap.

With a loud roar, two rows of boulders each rolled down from the top of the mountain, from one side to the other, rolling back and forth with the help of the terrain, crushing the black orc camp back and forth over and over again.

Although the surprise attack lasted less than a few minutes before being crushed by the returning Orcs, there was a rare time buffer for the Orcs to activate the city's defenses, and countless crossbow arrows roared out of the city, pouring down on the enemy positions.

The situation was temporarily suppressed, and Khiva left for another battlefield.

The first wave of the Black Orc's offensive was divided into eight forces, which came along different roads towards the base.

They had clearly underestimated the terrain and the extent to which the orcs had used the terrain, so each of the Black Orc troops was honored to receive the same treatment.

After hours of fierce fighting, not a single army could rush to the enemy's walls!

The Vanguard Commander was annoyed, but also anxious, for more than half of the time had passed since the three hourglasses.

In order to complete the task assigned by the above, he had to throw all the troops at his disposal, along with the reserves and all the cannon fodder, into the battlefield.

It has to be said that it was a wise decision.

When the cannon fodder was consumed in large quantities, groping for the direction of every path and filling in every trap at the cost of their lives, the elite Black Orc soldiers took up their tomahawk swords and charged, and finally, after the third hourglass was drained, the Black Orcs successfully attacked one of the walls.

Of course, that was the outermost barrier of the 'Ant'Hive Core', and if they wanted to reach the core, they would have to break through five barriers in a row before they could go straight to the hinterland.

The Black Orc, who had just stormed the city wall, never expected that the city defense design here would reach such a level, and this technology simply should not exist in the savage and obscurantist Oak Domain.

And the Black Orcs would not have expected that the position they were standing in now was similar to that of the 'Urn City', a carefully prepared trap for the first enemies to capture this place.

The floodgates opened, and with a roar, the flood from the swamp flooded the 'urn city' in an instant, and the surprised black orcs struggled in the muddy water, but it was not over.

Surrounded by the sound of strings, he hid behind the battlements, wielding his scorpion crossbow and shooting at the black orcs with hatred.

For a moment, the roars and screams continued, and the strong orcs became meat targets floating on the mud under each crossbow arrow more than 6 feet long, even if they hid in the water, it was useless, and the dirty and smelly mud was enough to suffocate people.

After a period of design, these hundreds of black orcs died here, and the orcs who vented their anger immediately retreated along the dark passage.

The battle was temporarily over, the front troops lost contact, and the vanguard commander could only appoint the troops to temporarily withdraw the troops and wait for the assistance of the main army, but in the process of retreating, they were attacked by the orcs one after another, from the initial to three hourglasses to six hourglasses, and the vanguard army suffered heavy casualties on the first day.

The brief victory did not give Khiva any joy, and he knew that the next thing would be a truly tragic war, and that some methods would be used the first time, and the second time would not work.

……

The next day, the vanguard army was all rushed to the battlefield as cannon fodder, at the cost of a large number of human lives to fill the gap in the black orcs' knowledge of this geography.

One by one, the traps were dismantled, and the passages were discovered, so they had no choice but to activate backup means to blow up the passages to prevent the enemy from entering the core area directly.

The orcs are finally lucky enough to meet the army of black orcs like a war machine with all its firepower.

It is still the giant beast man who served as the meat shield in the front, and countless siege equipment lined up with endless bombardment, and a large number of sacrificial slaves infiltrated the city to carry out the assassination plan, and at the same time, they are gradually figuring out the structure of the 'ant nest core'.

And most importantly, they viciously put poison into the drinking water.

Under the multiple blows, the orcs still gritted their teeth and held on, retreating from the first line of defense to the second line of defense, and then to the third line of defense, exchanging space for time, and firmly carrying out the clan's plan.

The army of the Black Orcs advanced steadily, and not a single legion was greedy for merit, and the so-called Urn City was demolished after they captured the city.

After a fierce battle until late at night the next day, the third line of defense was also crumbling, and Shiva was ruthless and decisive, taking out all the alchemical powder that had been prepaid and burying it at the junction of the third and fourth lines of defense.

Alchemy gunpowder is a big killing weapon refined by Cangye, and a terrifying number has already been mass-produced in a few years, and it can further increase its power when superimposed on each other.

A hundred orcs volunteered, carrying explosives, waiting for the moment when the defense line was breached.

In the end, when the third line of defense fell into the trap and the black orcs attacked again, the hundred half-orc warriors sacrificed themselves and detonated the explosives, blowing up the entire defense line, and the black orcs' attack was thwarted and had to temporarily stop the attack.

What followed was the night attack of the four half-orc legions, through the 'ant nest core' to surround the broken black orc troops, after a night of fierce fighting, the broken black orc legions finally retreated, and the number of only a few hundred people remained, which was already at the point where it should be canceled.

However, the casualty ratio paid by the orcs was indeed 3:1, and the three legions eventually left only half of the original men.

On the third day, in the hot sun, the black orcs attacked again, and they seemed to be enraged, this time by the onslaught of more than ten legions, and the fourth line of defense fell in less than half an hour.

Waiting in the fifth line of defense, Shiva saw the moving steel fortress behind the army of black orcs.

Suddenly, a bright light flickered, and the cannon at the top of the fortress let out a thunderous roar.

After a burst of blasting, a large gap was blasted out of the fifth line of defense, and along the gap, a large number of black orcs rushed out, fighting with the orcs in the narrow passage of each camp.

Before leaving, Shiva straightened his military uniform, placed the three hourglasses upside down in front of the table, and left.

It was the last time left until the time limit, and Shiva led all the orc warriors to launch the last dreadnought charge of her life.
