Sim watched the first wave of attacks fail and waved his hand expressionlessly. Hundreds of giants behind them began to pull the oversized catapult, slowly moving forward, followed by a number of guys who were responsible for carrying stones. Henry was shocked to see this huge siege weapon, if he was hit by a stone of this size, he would probably be seriously injured even if he had a protective spell on his body.

Heim unhurriedly commanded the dwarves to pull the bowstrings of the ballistas, and soon the thick arrows were shot down from a high place. A single salvo destroyed several catapults, and after several rounds of attacks, the enemy's apparatus lost more than a third before it came into range.

Although these salvos were very effective, a large number of catapults entered the firing position. The orc quickly put the oversized stone in his hand, and the giant in front of him pulled the rope hard. Boulders were sent into the air by the force of the machine, cutting a long parabola, flying towards the city walls.

"Everyone, beware of avoidance! The ballistas continue to fire, hurry up and kill all these catapults for me! Heim shouted to all the soldiers.

As soon as his words fell, a boulder fell from the sky and smashed on the city wall, and the five human soldiers were instantly reduced to pulp. Seeing this situation, Henry didn't say a word, and immediately blessed himself with "flying skills" and "advanced stealth skills", and then quietly flew over the catapult. He aimed at the stone throwing and unleashed several "wall of fire techniques" in succession, and the wooden instrument was quickly ignited, and soon the raging fire was burning.

When Henry saw that his attack worked, he turned and flew towards the city wall. Suddenly, an arrow with a blue magical aura flew behind him, piercing the position of "protecting long-range weapons" in one fell swoop. Directly on the shoulder. The magical power of the arrow dispelled his invisibility. Everyone saw a wounded mage in mid-air. The orc archers drew their bows one after another. The rain of arrows in the sky instantly enveloped it.

Just when the people on the city wall were in a cold sweat, Henry unhurriedly released a sixth-level spell "Death Technique" on the sneak attacker, and the power of magic instantly killed the orcs, including this guy, and the orcs within a radius of about ten meters. Seeing that the arrow was about to fall, he immediately activated the "Any Gate" scroll in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he passed through the portal and returned to the city wall.

Sim's face became very ugly, and the guy who was killed was a sharpshooter he had carefully cultivated for many years. You must know that the guy who was killed by the "death technique" has no way to be resurrected by the divine magic. People who die under this spell. You can only be reborn again through the "wishing technique". It's a pity that the orcs haven't had any archmages so far, and there are almost no mage apprentices.

Seeing that the second round of attacks failed, the one-eyed orc warrior crushed the wine glass made of skulls in his hand. He stood in anger and stared viciously at the distant wall, and it took a long time for the anger in his eyes to subside.

"Retreat! Let everyone go back to the camp and continue the logging until tomorrow when the catapults are ready for the next attack. With that, Sim threw down the crushed bones in his hand and walked in the direction of his tent.

Thammy followed cautiously, but the corners of his mouth were still slightly upturned inadvertently. This defeat once again proved that the old shaman was right. It looks like there's a good chance this guy will die here. The thought that he could take Sim's place as the leader of the northern third of the tribes. His psyche was on fire. In order to achieve this goal, even if you give up the dignity of a legendary warrior to carry out a sneak attack.

As soon as Henry returned to the walls, Heim ran over. "Count, you're taking a lot of risk to do this, there are a few archers in the orc camp opposite who can see through invisibility, and they all use a kind of magic arrow, and the protective spell will hardly work."

"There's no way, we can't let these boulders keep raging above our heads. If you are pierced by an arrow, you can still heal it, but if you are smashed into pulp, you will not even have a chance to resurrect. As he spoke, Henry slashed the arrow with his teeth and drew the shaft. After checking and finding that there was no poisoning, he directly cast a healing magic, and soon the wound slowly healed.

Heim was relieved to see that he was fine. "But it was a good job, not only did it burn a large number of catapults, but the last spell killed a sharpshooter. You must know that the time to train such a shooter is not low, at least eight to ten years. I believe that the orc chief on the other side must be angry, you must be more careful in the future, these guys are very vindictive. ”

Henry wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up. "You're talking about the orc leader being the one-eyed guy, right? With or without specific information, I have the feeling that he must be a very terrifying fighter. ”

"His name is Sim, one of the leaders of the northern orc tribe. It's been a long time since he's fought in person, but it's said that this guy tore the previous chief in half with his bare hands when he challenged the previous chief. Heim told his opponent as he asked the soldiers to clean up the corpses and blood stains on the walls.

Henry frowned, remembering the sharp eye just now. "It seems that this is also for the guy who is not very easy to deal with, but fortunately he will not rush to the wall lightly. This should be the end of today's attack, and if there is nothing else, we will go back to rest first. ”

"No problem, go and rest, I will instruct the kitchen to prepare a hearty meal for you." As he spoke, Heim waved at him.

Henry and his companions soon returned to their lodgings, and after eating the food brought from the kitchen, they began to go about their own business. Vaughan sat on the ground polishing his weapons, Zuvosa was tending to his bowstrings, and everyone was preparing for tomorrow's war.

For the next few days, the orcs attacked as if they were on an errand. Follow the first day's routine every day, and retreat as soon as the catapults are all destroyed. There is no indication of any intention to capture the city. This kind of passive attack made Henry, Heim and others very puzzled, after all, there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers outside the city, and even sending two thousand people at a time could cause them a lot of trouble.

Since he couldn't guess the enemy's intentions, he could only strengthen the vigilance at night to prevent these cunning guys from making a surprise attack. As the days passed, on the seventh day of the siege, it suddenly snowed heavily in the sky. Large white snowflakes covered the entire Northland, and the snow on the ground reached a thickness of one meter in just one day.

Standing on the ramparts, Haim commanded the soldiers to shovel the snow down, and although he didn't think the orcs would attack in such weather, it was necessary to keep the road clear. Henry stood on the cleared ground and whispered a spell, ready to use a spell to check the situation of the other camp.

Soon the "farsightedness" was ready to be completed, and he looked down at the entire camp from mid-air, and suddenly found that the orc barracks, which was supposed to be a mess, somehow did not make a sound at all. Even the scouts who were on guard outside the tent were gone, and a large number of half-made engineering equipment was piled up in a mess outside the camp.

Henry immediately cut off the spell and told Heim the news. The latter thought for a moment and called out to a ranger and told him to go ahead and reconnoiter the situation. Everyone stood there with trepidation, and an hour later the ranger came running back as fast as he could. He calmed his breath and hurriedly reported loudly: "Those damn orcs are all gone, they have nothing to take with them, and there are still plenty of weapons, armor and food left in the tent. ”

Heim frowned, the sudden disappearance of the enemy was not a good sign. He thought about it for a moment and asked, "Didn't you find any trace at all?" So many people will leave a lot of footprints even if they retreat. ”

"There were a lot of footprints in the tent, but there was no way to scout outside. With such a large amount of snow, even if there are footprints, it will be covered immediately. Saying that, the ranger shrugged his shoulders helplessly, this kind of weather is impossible to track.

Henry sighed, the form in front of him was too weird. He didn't believe that the orcs would be idle and run to demonstrate, the other party must be hiding, don't see the right time to carry out a sneak attack. In such poor visibility weather, the walls can quickly fall away with a single blow.

"Prepare for additional patrols, I'm sure someone is watching here with spells. With the slightest slackening of the defenses, these orcs will immediately launch a surprise attack. ”

Heim cursed in a low voice, then raised his head and said to Henry, "I understand all these things, but this kind of heavy snow will last for at least another week, and it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to patrol outside for a long time, and they will be frozen for more than an hour." It seems that these guys have come up with a trick that is too passive for us. ”

"Then mobilize all the male inhabitants of the city and issue them weapons and armor. It only takes these guys to patrol for half an hour a day, and we have to keep people on every five meters of the wall. "Henry referred to the ancient experience of defending cities on the earth, and proposed a way to catch the strong men.

Heim thought bitterly for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and agreeing. "Damn! Let me know who gave such a sinister attention to the orc, and I will definitely screw his head. You go to the tower and warm up with a fire, and I'm going to organize people to go door-to-door to find people. It is estimated that he will be scolded to death by everyone this time, and it is the first time that Sandaba has recruited citizens to participate in the war. As he spoke, he shook the snow off his body and walked quickly away from the city wall in the direction of the town hall. (To be continued......)
