Chapter Seventy-One: The Second War of the Broken Bone Gate

At the gates of Hearthstone, almost half of the city-states are gathered today.

Today, the powerful and well-equipped Deep Blue Top reinforcements walked into the gates of Hearthstone with pride.

Sixteen casters with a base class level of 30 or higher, thirty-two Zedi Bearman guards, and a hundred-strong Arcane Knights.

That alone was enough for a 5,000-strong heavy guard, but these were just appetizers at the top of the Deep Blue.

Suddenly, an exclamation came from the crowd:

"That's the Crystal Cannon!"

Soon, two rhinoceros slaves dragged two huge cannons into the city gate.

The full name of the magic crystal cannon is the superconducting magic crystal heavy cannon.

Its base is suspended in mid-air, powered by an arcane orb that constantly radiates a brilliant blue glow.

The barrel and other parts were dragged in by rhinoceros slaves who were as strong as ogres.

The barrel is made of the secret metal 'Nether Adamantine', and the shape is ornate, and the surface is covered with intricate magic patterns.

It's the work of alchemists.

Although the Crystal Cannon, like the Dwarven Cannon, is a product of alchemy technology.

However, unlike the Dwarven Cannon, which is purely mechanical, the Crystal Cannon can only be driven by the caster.

The operation mode is more flexible, and the attack mode is diverse.

And the destructive power produced is not to mention the dwarven artillery, even the dwarven siege cannon is difficult to match.

This is the product of the combination of magic and technology, and it is one of the masterpieces of the early civilization of magic technology.

This time, the speaker of the Deep Blue Mage Council personally took action and used his authority to mobilize the use of the two superconducting magic crystal heavy cannons.

On the other side, Hearthstone really took out its hole cards.

Twenty dwarven heavy guns, forty dwarven mortars, and countless ammo.

Cangye took a deep look at these terrible weapons.

Unlike conventional thermal weapons, both the Crystal Cannon and the Dwarven Cannon have unusually powerful destructive power.

If all these ammo were gone, even the Ogre City would be reduced to ruins.

At the same time, the army of nearly 50,000 professionals is twice as large as the previous number, and the combat power is several times greater, which is an army that is difficult to shake with genius strategy.

In the Battle of the Broken Bone Gate, the city-state coalition suffered heavy losses, but the ogre's losses were not small.

Two-thirds of the cannon fodder were killed, and the elite ogre warriors were killed by nearly a hundred.

In the face of the upcoming Second Expedition, the ogre has no chance of winning, and even the strategist hiding in the shadows will not be able to change the situation.

And in high-end combat power.

A small Hearthstone castle is home to three legendary professionals.

One is a legendary warrior who has lived in seclusion in Hearthstone all year round, a level 10 Iron Prince, a fourth-order hero class, and a base class level of 40.

The second is the Speaker of the Deep Blue Mage Council, a level 10 Grand Magister (4th Order) / 10 Level Summoner Master (4th Order) / 5 Level Mind Master (4th Order), with a total base class level of 100.

To a certain extent, Speaker Deep Blue already has epic-level combat power, and all he lacks is awakening the 'Epic Mandate'.

And the third is a friend of the Dark Blue Speaker, who was invited to come to Hearthstone to help in the battle.

Cangye was interested in this person, as this was a legendary-level dragon vein warlock.

……

In less than ten days after the disastrous defeat of the first expedition, the second expeditionary force was ready.

The number of troops eventually reached 60,000, but only 30,000 actually attacked.

The remaining 30,000 were given to Calles and Kazan to clean up all the creature nests outside the Ogre City.

The commissions of Cangye and the others have almost doubled, but the tasks have also changed.

From banishing ogres to destroying ogre hordes, and killing ogre war lords.

Although the role of mercenaries is still only support.

But this time, Cangye and the others must attack as a vanguard, and their duties include opening the way, cleaning, reconnaissance, etc.

This time, the commander was a genius commander from a city called Cloud Atlas seven hundred miles away.

He once commanded a campaign to exterminate the Frost Giant Tribe, and successfully defeated this group of evil and powerful big men, but he himself lost only a tenth of the entire army.

This man's name is Alphonse, and he is a rare and extraordinary advanced class, the Iron Commander, who does not focus on personal ability but is a special class based on large-scale army command.

After the preparation was completed, in the early morning of the second day, all the mercenary corps led by the Double-headed Eagle Mercenary Regiment were dispatched.

This time, the leader of the Owl Men took the lead in sending a hundred cavalry scouts to reconnoiter the enemy.

Somewhat unexpectedly, however, the ogres seemed to anticipate Prometheus' revenge and forcibly requisitioned all the cannon fodder from the camp back to the city, leaving only the abandoned camps.

Upon learning of such a change, the man pondered for a moment, and then continued his march.

At the same time, 30,000 scavengers also dispatched their entire army, and the troops broke through from three directions in the ogre's territory in three directions, attacking the rear.

In just a few days, the ogre did not have time to withdraw all the slaves.

In the large rear of the territory, dozens of monster camps were all razed to the ground.

The Ogre vassal army was mostly swept away and suffered heavy losses.

On the other side, the main force of 30,000 led by Alphonse also officially hit the road.

The three legendary professionals personally sat in charge, and officially advanced into the hinterland of the ogre territory.

At the Gate of Broken Bones, the mercenary legion has been waiting for a long time.

This time, the ogre was still the whole army, and Chen soldiers were outside the Gate of Broken Bones.

After the last battle, the ogre has suffered heavy losses, and this time it also includes a large number of non-combat units, such as the nezumi.

There are more than 20,000 nezumi, but their combat power is limited.

The coalition forces can send a cavalry team of about 1,000 men to inflict heavy damage on the rats.

Faced with an enemy army more than ten times their number, the ogres didn't seem to have any morale frustration, and they all brandished axes and hammers and shouted.

I don't know if it's brave and fearless, or if the head the size of an amygdala doesn't have the emotion of "fear" at all.

Ogres have never had enough brains, this is a natural limitation of the race.

This is true even for the Ogre Warlord, who has advanced to the rank of Bloodthirsty Lord, and perhaps still thinks that it can crush the enemy army in one fell swoop with its own force alone, just like it did last time.

Seeing this scene, Cangye immediately understood.

The strategists who hide in the shadows are only working with ogres, not their commanders in the dark.

Looking up at the sky, the familiar shadow did not exist.

Undoubtedly, the strategists have given up on ogres, so there is nothing to fear.

The ogre lord drove the lion-faced drake beast to the coalition army, and the war spear in his hand was raised high, and he roared loudly:

"Stupid Prometheus, you're all dead here this time!"

A cold snort came from within the coalition forces, and a figure flashed out of the array.

It was a middle-aged man with a short red hair like steel, and a flaming tattoo on the left half of his cheek.

He was tall and burly, with bulging muscles all over his body, almost bursting the shirt.

But the most striking thing is the giant sword in his hand, which is almost three meters long and has a wide façade.

Fourth-order hero class Iron Prince, a legendary-level warrior, his power alone is not inferior to that of the ogre demon lord.

In addition to him, two other legendary professionals also appeared.
