Chapter 161: Giant Elephant Assault

With all the giant crossbows in place, Heim returned to the town hall to continue his work of organizing citizen patrols. Henry was always worried that something might happen, so he simply took all his companions to live in the tower. The days flew by and the weather months got worse and worse. Citizens have been organized to clear the snow several times, otherwise the roads would not be passable at all, and the roofs would have collapsed.

Just as everyone was cooking the fire, a group of patrolling soldiers walked in from outside. As soon as he entered, the captain cursed loudly: "This damn weather, and even more damn orcs. ”

"That's right, the snow is falling so hard outside that it's hard to see the view from ten meters away. I really don't know what the point of such repeated patrols is. One of the soldiers also vented his frustration.

Henry smiled at the men's complaints, and just as he was about to invite the soldiers over for a sip of hot soup, suddenly the ground began to vibrate slightly, and within a few seconds a loud "bang" was heard. The alarm bell on the outer city wall was sounded, and someone shouted: "Enemy attack!" The orcs are coming! They're banging on the gates! ”

"! These green-skinned crumbs are finally here. Walk! Let's give them a little bit of color. With that, the captain led his men to rush out of the tower as quickly as possible.

After Henry blessed himself with a few protective spells, he also stood up and said to his companion next to him: "Let's start to act too, after fighting this battle, Erastro's commission should be completed." ”

"I've been waiting impatiently for a long time, and I hope that this time the orcs won't dodge like they did a few days ago." After saying that, the orc warrior put on his cold helmet, took off the greatsword from his back, and swung it twice.

Zuboza hung up the strings of the crossbow and pulled it apart. Then an arrow was inserted. "Let's go. I'd like to see what the monster in my dream is. ”

I saw that my teammates were ready. Henry led the way up the city walls. Except for Bambock, who was left where he was because he was not used to the cold weather, everyone else ran in the direction of the city gate. Nearly a thousand soldiers had been assembled behind the city gate, and the thick ice on it had been smashed into cracks, and it seemed that it would not last long.

Heim shouted as he commanded the soldiers to form a phalanx, with spearmen in front and shield-wielding infantry on the flanks, and the houses on both sides were densely packed with archers, and even the crossbows that defended the city were dismantled and placed nearby. In addition to a few arrow towers, the walls are still firing. There are basically no people in other places anymore. The archers and ballista operators on both sides of the gate were killed by the orc archers, and they were now driving the giant elephants to slam the gates hard.

Under the impact of this powerful beast, even the gate made of stainless steel quickly became untenable. With a loud bang, the elephant with baby tusks in iron armor rushed into the street, and at once frightened the soldiers at the door. It trampled on a rampage, killing anyone who was stepped on or knocked into the air in the blink of an eye.

"Shoot me, ballista! So, what are you waiting for! The spearmen resisted, behind us is our city, if you don't want your relatives and friends to die a tragic death, you must not retreat! Heim yelled in frustration, he now knew what the hell these goddamn orcs were up to.

With the giant elephant out of the way, the orc soldiers quickly followed from behind. One rushed into the city. They fought with the guards who had been scattered in formation, and the number of them increased as they poured in. The entire line of defense has become precarious. By the time Henry arrived, a third of the soldiers of about a thousand men had already been killed or wounded.

Vaughn jumped down and joined the battlefield without saying a word, he quickly opened up a clearing in the crowd with his two-handed giant sword, and the ordinary armor on the orcs couldn't block the sharp magic weapons at all, and their bodies were lightly cut apart like pieces of paper. The Ranger raised his crossbow to find the commander for a sniping kill, and soon the enemy's offensive was contained.

Seeing that the battle had eased up, Heim yelled at Henry, "Kill those baby tusk elephants first!" These behemoths are too much of a threat to ordinary soldiers! ”

Henry glanced at the iron-clad creatures and immediately began to chant incantations, ready to set a fire. A few seconds later, a raging wall of fire rose at the gates of the city, cutting it off from the outside of the city. A few unlucky guys were burned to the ground in an instant, and a giant elephant turned around and ran away with a scream.

The long hair on its whole body became a good accelerant, and the intense heat made this guy who was not very good-tempered instantly angry. It rushed at the orc army behind it, trampling and overturning countless people along the way, until Sim and Thamm arrived to stop the accident.

The two legendary warriors quickly turned their bodies sideways, and then grabbed the iron armor and climbed onto the beast's back. Sam slashed at the elephant's head with a great axe, and Sim danced frantically with two battle axes, and soon the mad beast's head was cut beyond recognition, and it fell directly into the snow, its body covered in burns, blisters, and black and red muscles.

Sim glanced at the hollow gates, a rare smile on his face, and he turned to the others behind him and said, "Warriors! The vanguard has smashed open the gates of the city, now rush! I will allow you to loot for three days without limit, whether it is a man, a woman, an old man, or a child, if they dare to resist, you will kill them all! Let's go! Fortune and women are beckoning to all the warriors! ”

Hearing his promise, the evil-natured orcs erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and nothing boosted their morale more than plunder and conquest. Sim glanced at the army that had entered a frenzy and nodded in satisfaction, then he turned to Thambe and said, "Now you can go to those adventurers to take revenge, remember to cut off their heads, I want everyone to know what it means to be enemies of the mighty orcs!" ”

"Yes! I'll take Shaman to follow their trail, and if nothing else, I'll see a string of bloody human heads before the city falls. With that, Sam turned and beckoned to the old shaman, and the two of them walked together in the direction of the city gate.

Henry and Amy use their magic to attack the ivory elephants that have rushed into the city. These wounded and frantic beasts slammed into each other, and the entire house near the doorway was completely in ruins. With this reckless counterattack, the city was quickly cleared of enemies.

Heim commanded his soldiers to retake the gates, and they confronted the orcs outside through a wall of fire, only to rush forward to fight when the magic wore off. After the initial panic, the soldiers and citizens of the city were quickly revived. They spontaneously took up their weapons and rushed towards the city gates, and everyone knew that if the city was captured, nothing would happen to them.

The duration of the "Wall of Fire" quickly passed, and with a roar from the orc, the two sides quickly collided, and for a moment the small city gate became the location of the battle between the two armies. The orc priest kept blessing his side with various buff spells, and the dwarf priest was not to be outdone, and the soldiers who rushed to the front instantly felt that they were several times stronger than before.

Henry observed it and found that with the blessing of divine magic, these human and dwarven soldiers were on a par with the orcs, and there was no danger of being defeated for a while. He turned to the others and said, "You guys stay here first, and I'll take Ares to the city wall to see if I can make some trouble for these guys." ”

"Rest assured, host. If the situation changes here, I will let you know with "teleportation". After saying that, Amy unleashed a "fear spell" on the orcs behind her, and the affected guys instantly began to ramble around, and the guards took the opportunity to push the enemy out a few meters away.

Henry and his animal companion ran quickly to the city wall, and when he reached the top of the city, he found that the orcs were already carrying a ladder and slowly advancing through the snow. It won't be long before they can climb up and attack from a commanding position, knowing that now there is not a single soldier on the wall, and everyone is gathered near the city gate.

He didn't have time to think about it, he left Ares alone in place, and immediately blessed himself with "Flying Technique", "Advanced Stealth Technique" and "Protective Ranged Weapon", preparing to destroy these few ladders. When he came to the air, he took out the "Book of Changes" and directly chose the strongest Adamantite Golem and threw it down, and the book was transformed in mid-air, and killed several unlucky guys as soon as it landed.

After landing on the ground, the golem launched an attack according to the owner's orders, and its sturdy body was not afraid of ordinary swords, ignoring the orcs around it, and rushed directly up, constantly trampling and breaking the surrounding ladders. Henry took advantage of everyone's attention to be attracted to the golem and quietly used spells to destroy the other ladders.

Sim saw the big golden creature at a glance, and he drew the weapon he hung from his waist and rushed over, and it didn't take long for him to hand it over. The blunt sides of the two axes struck at the golem's knee, and within a few minutes, the fully deformed knee snapped in a turn.

As the golem was battered, its body began to deform violently, turning into a golden book in the blink of an eye. Sim picked it up with some curiosity and looked at it, then pinned it to his belt. He knew very well that it was just a magic item and that there must be a spellcaster hidden around.

Henry quietly made a gesture on the remaining ladder, and flew in the direction of the city wall without looking back, not even planning to ask for the Book of Changes. This one-eyed orc leader is too powerful, and the last battle with Sim made him understand that he is not a match for the legendary warrior for the time being, and this guy should be left to Haim to have a headache.
