Chapter 651: Sudden Accident?
Bobo drove the beast beneath him, looked at the fortress that was getting closer and closer, gritted his teeth, and let out an angry roar. Even he can see that his home has been completely destroyed at this moment, the place that was originally used to shelter the clansmen from the wind and rain has now completely collapsed into a pile of ruins, billowing smoke rises from above, and Bobo is furious in his heart, those damned humans, they actually use such a conspiracy to deceive themselves, and when they catch them, they must let these humans taste the wrath of the orcs!
"Prepare ............!"
Standing on the ramparts, looking at the orc cavalry rushing from far away from the horizon, Lando shouted, and then he bent his bow and drew an arrow from the quiver behind him, and aimed it at the target in front of him. And not far from Lando's side, more than twenty rangers were also standing on the city wall, staring at the terrifying orc cavalry in front of them with serious faces, waiting for their further movements. And Thor and the other half-demon descendants who had already finished recuperating also drew their weapons at this time and stood behind those rangers to prevent a sudden attack by the orcs. Although they have also experienced a lot of battles, it is the first time they have experienced such a siege battle, not to mention that the opponent's number is several times that of their own. Although in the raid just now, with Rhodes's care, coupled with the huge gap in strength between the two sides, there were not many casualties, but their number was too small, a total of less than eighty people, not to mention the removal of Joey, Lijie and others are basically not counted on the frontal battlefield, and the combat force in front is only about fifty people. But in front of them, there were more than six hundred orc cavalry, and their crazy roars and roars came along the wind, just the sight of the black pressure on the white snow field was enough to make many people tremble, although their strength was stronger. And it is protected by a city wall. But even they don't really believe that the low walls that have been abandoned for many years under their feet can give them any protection, these walls are only three or four meters high, and those orcs are almost two meters or more tall on the Sloe beasts, this gap can jump up as long as they stretch out their hands, and after the battle just now, everyone knows very well how strong and terrifying the bodies of these orcs are. If you want to fight them in hand-to-hand combat, it is very disadvantageous for you as humans in a place like the city wall.
Lando held his breath and aimed at the orc cavalry that was getting closer and closer in front of him, the thick breathing of those orcs and the loud sound of them galloping past even made Lando feel that the city wall under his feet was trembling slightly, and for a moment, Lando even felt that the city wall under his feet would collapse completely under the charge of the orcs, and he would fall directly down like this, and then be buried in the eternal abyss. Soon, though, the young ranger shook his head. Leaving the unsettling fantasy behind him, he narrowed his eyes and locked on to his target, before Lando let go of his fingers.
"Whoosh!!"
Along with Lando's movements, dozens of rangers on the city wall also shot arrows in their hands at the same time, and for a while, I saw dozens of azure light arrows dragging straight light tracks in the air whistling through the air. Quickly shot towards the orc cavalry in front of him.
Seeing the brilliance of these arrows that suddenly appeared, Bobo was also surprised. However, the orc patriarch quickly put his mind at ease, because there were only dozens of arrows, and it didn't look like they were shooting at all, and Bobo had led his people to face the attack of humans before, and compared to the overwhelming rain of arrows, this bit of was no threat in Bobo's eyes at all. What if they were able to shoot twenty of their own people? He's got six hundred horsemen!!
And what made Boboha laugh even more was that. The dozens of arrows didn't hit any of them at all, but flew over their heads as if they had missed, which immediately reminded Bobo that these humans must be afraid of us, look at them now. They must have been afraid of the terrible attack of our orcs, so let them taste our awesomeness!
However, Bobo's idea was not able to be put into action, because at this moment, suddenly a loud bang was heard behind him.
"Boom !!"
This deafening sound even almost made Bobo's body crooked and fell to the ground, but the orc patriarch also reacted quickly, he almost hurriedly stabilized his body, and then Bobo looked behind him in surprise, and then he was surprised to find that behind him, among the people who were originally following him, there were already dozens of people who fell to the ground with black smoke all over their bodies, and even those thick-skinned Sloe beasts were also lying on the ground, with wounds all over their bodies.
If Bobo had eyes behind him, then he would probably not be surprised by the scene in front of him——— those blue arrows flew over the heads of Bobo and the others, but just as they fell, they saw that these blue arrows suddenly stopped in the air, and then they suddenly curled up and condensed into a small blue ball of light, and when this ball of light was compressed to the extreme, it roared as if it had lost its restraints, and the shining thunder and roar completely lost its restraints, Spread out in all directions. And those orcs didn't expect such a thing to happen at all, and they were immediately injured when they couldn't dodge.
Although the attack of Lando and other rangers this time was not able to destroy most of the enemies, their approach was very good to interrupt the rhythm of those orcs, and the cavalry that was charging in front couldn't stop, and the orcs in the rear didn't expect such a thing to happen, many orcs couldn't dodge at all, plus the Sloe beast itself was not as flexible as the war horse, and suddenly hit a person on his back for a while.
"That's it!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lando couldn't help but clench his fists excitedly and let out a low sigh. Although as Rhodes' elite regiment, the danger they have to order is the greatest. But again, their equipment is the best. With Labis, the master alchemist, almost everyone in the elite group has more or less magic equipment. Ranger such as Lando are no exception, each of them has ten pure elemental arrows, which deal area damage and have fire when fired. There was thunder and lightning, and even ice, snow, and poisonous fog, and so on. As a mercenary, Lando certainly knew the preciousness of these elemental arrows, if they were on the black market, they would be enough to sell for hundreds of gold coins, but now. They were able to have ten of these elemental arrows, and they could even replenish them when they returned. With such good equipment and supplies, it would be a failure if you couldn't even kill such a bunch of orcs!
"Huh?"
Although the performance of Lando and other rangers was very good, but Rode, who saw all this, snorted a little suspiciously, and then he raised his head and looked at the horizon in the distance——— according to the original plan, at this time John should arrive from behind with his cavalry, take advantage of the opportunity in front of him to completely divide these orcs, and then cooperate with the mercenaries of the fortress to clean up the other party. But now. In the rear of the orcs, it was unusually calm, and there was no sign of the cavalry team that was supposed to be there.
"Mr. John, why haven't they shown up yet?"
Seeing this scene, Lijie, who was standing beside Rod, couldn't help but say with some doubts, after the baptism of so many battles before, now Lijie has gradually begun to adapt to her identity as an adjutant, after the previous battle was over, after treating those wounded soldiers, Lijie has been following Rhodes to observe the battle situation in front of her. Of course, she knew what to do next. Not only had Rhodes mentioned it to them before, but more importantly, this tactic of splitting, encircling and cooperating with annihilation had been trained many times by both sides in the phantom space. They were already familiar with this routine, but now there was no sign of John's cavalry behind them, and there was no contact between them, what was going on? Thinking of this, Lijie suddenly couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"There are accidents in everything."
But compared to Lijie, Rhodes is still very calm. Although it is said that John actually fell behind in the first actual battle, which was really unexpected by Rhodes, but whether it is a game or reality, there are always such and such accidents on the battlefield, if it is because one side does not cooperate in place, then you have to raise your hand to admit defeat and surrender. Then it is impossible for Rod's stab in the back to defeat the invincible opponent in the world for so many years in the game.
"Lijie, send the spirit master up and block them."
"Good, Mr. Rhodes."
Hearing Rod's order, Lijie nodded without the slightest hesitation, after cooperating with Rhodes for so long, almost all the spirit masters of the Starlight Guild were not only good at assisting and healing with the rear, and soon, under the leadership of Lijie, the spirit masters quickly came to the city wall, and then saw that they quickly stretched out their hands and made complicated gestures, and with the movements of the spirit masters, soon, golden barriers were erected, like wooden stakes in front of the orc cavalry.
If it is a real wooden stake, then the orc cavalry can directly smash these wooden stakes with the force of the Sloe Beast's charge. However, the barrier condensed by the soul power of the spirit masters was a hundred times stronger than a wooden stake, not to mention that the barrier that shone with a faint golden glow in this white snow was almost invisible. Immediately, several orc cavalry crashed headlong into it, and then under the influence of the huge reaction force, they wailed and threw off the Sloe beast, cut an arc in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
If it were humans, they would have become dead by now. However, after all, these orcs only have the strength of strong bodies, coupled with the soft and fluffy snow everywhere, so that these beasts actually got up quickly after falling to the ground, but at this time, the orcs were also suddenly fierce, and rushed towards the fortress with a roar.
"What's going on?"
At this time, not only Lijie, but even Joey, Lando, Saul and others also noticed that something was wrong, John's cavalry team had not appeared since just now, and they had thought that John was only delayed a little and would be back soon. But now, there is still no shadow of John in the distance, which suddenly makes many people feel uneasy. Both soldiers and mercenaries pay attention to luck, although they are trained like dead dogs in the phantom space, but this is their first actual battle after all, and at this time they all hope to have a smooth start, that is, everything is going smoothly, everyone cooperates tacitly, and happily cleans up the enemy smoothly. In this way, not only can you win, but you can also have confidence in Rhodes's risky tactics. But now. John and other cavalrymen, who were supposed to be in charge of reinforcements from behind, did not show up for a long time, which suddenly made everyone a little uneasy. Because at this moment, their biggest reliance is the nearly a hundred cavalry under John, only they are the real combat power, and they are just strange soldiers and not cavalry, but now that John has not appeared, is it really necessary to rely on his own people to deal with five or six hundred orcs? There are ten times as many of them.
"Calm down. If you are panicked, any accident can happen on the battlefield, you should understand this, now, stay calm and continue to act according to the plan. ”
Rod's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears, and when they heard Rod's words, those who were still a little shaken couldn't help but tremble. Then their originally flustered hearts suddenly calmed down a lot———yes, how did they forget that there was still Rod?" In the elite group in front of him, there are many mercenaries who have fought with Rhodes before, they have seen Rhodes create many miracles with their own eyes, even those terrible undead creatures have not been able to pose a threat to him, what are these orcs?
However, Rod is obviously not just cheering up his subordinates, if just a few words of encouragement can make them calm down and face an enemy several times his own desperately, then Rod might as well count on himself to go out and go out of his mouth and then directly bow to the group of orcs who are shocked by the anger of Wang Ba. Although John was not able to show up at the scheduled time, Rod was very dissatisfied. But he knew that John was definitely not the kind of person who disobeyed the law, although he had always had a lot of opinions about his own methods. But definitely not the kind of person who violates the perineum and takes this opportunity to drag himself back. Until now, there was no sign of John, and it was very likely that something was wrong, but at the moment, Rhodes didn't have time to think about John's problem, since he couldn't show up. Then the current deployment will naturally have to be readjusted.
"Joey, have you done everything you did?"
"It's all done, boss, the traps have all been arranged, and they are guaranteed to die as many as they come!"
Hear Rhodes' inquiry. Joey hurriedly stretched out his hand to make a gesture to confirm, and seeing Joey's movements, Rod nodded slightly, and then he immediately looked at the others.
"Lando, you lead your men to stand scattered on the walls on both sides and continue to attack those orcs. Lijie, you lead the spirit master to shrink back to the clearing, Thor, you and Marfa are behind the walls, and the remaining orcs .................."
Rod didn't finish his words, and then, I saw him stretch out his hand and throw it hard, and with Rode's movements, a pitch-black long sword appeared in his hand.
"Leave it to me."
"Yes, Your Excellency!!"
Hearing Rod's words, everyone immediately found the backbone, except for Thor and other half-demon descendants who still didn't know anything about Rod's strength, the rest of the people had almost no doubts about Rod's strength, not to mention that he was able to summon so many powerful beings to fight for himself, and even in the eyes of many people, even if Rhodes was just one person, his combat power was also the best of the last combat team. Hearing Rod say this now, everyone immediately relaxed and immediately started to arrange again according to Rode's order.
Soon, with the withdrawal of everyone, the city wall in front of them was empty. This scene looked at Bobo's eyes, but thought that it was a sign of those human beings running away timidly, and sure enough, these humans just lacked the spirit of our orcs to move forward, look at them, they just resisted casually, and ran away like this, it's really weak!
"Rush!! Rush in and kill these cunning, hateful humans!! ”
At Bobo's shout, the orcs around him raised their arms in the air, howling passionately, and then Bobo saw them rush towards the crumbling gate of the fortress.
But in the next moment, a series of lights suddenly shone in front of his eyes, and then the sound of explosions shook the earth, and countless flames rose into the sky, completely engulfing his cavalry.
"Wow!!"
Even Bobo himself was not able to withstand the oncoming air wave, and he rolled over and fell to the ground in the violent air current, and when Bobo raised his head again, the scene in front of him completely stunned the orc patriarch.
I saw in front of him, the originally smooth city wall had completely collapsed, and there were corpses and blood of his people all around, just now, more than 200 cavalrymen who charged ahead, almost all of them died in this sudden explosion, not only that, but the collapsed city wall also completely buried the only way, and now, they almost had no way to enter the fortress again.
After receiving setbacks one after another, the orc cavalry at this time had long lost their initial bravery. Originally, John's cavalry had been played around by the cavalry, which had made these orcs have suffered a big blow, and then they encountered such a thing again, until now, they have not even touched a single hair of humans, but their own side has lost nearly half of their manpower, although now they also have more than three hundred people, and they are far superior to humans in terms of numbers. But now the orcs are already a little timid, they even stopped, hesitated and lingered, these humans are too cunning, too terrifying. So far, they don't even know what the other party looks like, and so many people have died, so if they continue like this.........
"What are you doing?!!
Bobo turned his head and saw his people stop, and immediately shouted angrily, and he stretched out his hand and pointed forward.
"Humans, cunning, we, kill, humans! We, the warriors, will not retreat!! There, our people, our children, are there! Kill, human!! ”
Hearing Bobo's words, the orcs, who had been a little hesitant, roared again, and they re-drove the Sloe under them and continued to rush towards the fortress, and now, they were very close to the fortress!!
At this moment, suddenly, all the orcs saw a black shadow leisurely jumping down from the city wall, and then, the dazzling soul sword light suddenly erupted, like a raging storm towards the orcs.
Rhodes has a shot! (To be continued.) )
