Chapter 585: Orc Attack
Ethan stood on the city wall, watching the daytime sky in the distance return to darkness, as if foreshadowing the coming of real darkness!
At this moment, Ethan felt that the time for a decision had come.
Either wait until only his family was left before fighting back, or rush in and fight with Telgamesh now, just bet that [Dispel] is useful.
"Master!" Catherine's voice sounded again: "Miss Sophia asked you to go back. She said that if she died, everyone would die together. Anyway, you can't go in."
"I know, tell her that I will go back soon and tell her not to worry, I'm not that stupid!"
"Oh!"
As the two were talking, a spark suddenly appeared not far in front of the Barron Fortress, and then two, three...
But within a few breaths, the sparks spread out like a prairie fire, and only then could it be vaguely seen that they were torches.
In the dim firelight, countless tall black shadows, with green light in their eyes, rushed towards the Barron Fortress.
"Enemy attack"
A loud shout broke the silence of the night!
"Buzz" "Buzz"... The horn of war was blown quickly, and the entire military camp under the Barron Fortress was crowded.
"Swish, swish" Two huge magic balls rose into the air, and then floated in the air like two small suns.
The fire illuminated the walls of the Barron Fortress, and the soldiers rushed to the defense line nervously and orderly.
As the roar of the orcs got closer, there was no fear or panic on the faces of the soldiers defending the city, only indifference.
The archers on the wall were concentrating, their eyes locked on the orc army not far away. Their fingers gently rested on the bowstrings, and with the commander's order, arrows poured down like raindrops, cutting through the night sky. The arrows carried a faint magic light, instantly ignited a flame, and turned the place where the arrows were shot into a sea of fire.
But the orcs were not afraid, and they still maintained the formation of charging like a tide. Wearing rough armor, they wielded huge axes and roared towards the city wall. Every step was a ruthless provocation to the human defense line.
Suddenly, a giant black flag was raised high behind the orcs, followed by a series of black shadows, like cannonballs, streaking through the air, leaping over the tall city walls, and rushing into the fortress.
Suddenly, a huge shout of killing rose to the sky.
"Stop them!" A commander roared, the soldiers responded quickly, and the magicians began to cast spells. Bright lights ignited in their hands, forming a series of light shields to resist the orcs rushing out of the deep pit.
In an instant, inside and outside the city wall, the confrontation between light and darkness spread synchronously like flames.
A young knight in the city had a solemn face. He held a long sword in his hand, and the sword body flashed with blue light. Then a magic ring lit up on his wrist. In an instant, a stream of water burst out from the tip of the sword, forming a huge water ball, rushing towards an orc, drowning an enemy rushing in the front.
The moment the water ball hit the orc, it quickly turned into an ice sculpture. The knight took the opportunity to kick a small stone at his feet towards the ice sculpture. The stone knocked lightly, and the ice sculpture and the orc instantly broke into pieces, ice chips and blood splashed.
However, the other orcs did not retreat, but became more fierce. An orc roared and rushed into the crowd waving his weapon. With a "bang", a huge tumor on his body exploded, and a large number of soldiers around him fell down in an instant, and screams rang out.
Outside the city, an orc magician in a blue robe raised his hands high, and the pale yellow magic ring on his wrist flashed. Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and a huge stone dragon emerged from the ground and rushed straight to the city wall.
The soldiers hurriedly dodged, and the heavy stone dragon hit the city wall. The deafening sound echoed in the air, the city wall trembled slightly, and dust flew.
At this time, several meteors with long tails of flames cut through the darkness and fell from the sky.
"Boom..."
One of the bullets broke the stone dragon's spine, instantly stopping its decline. The others smashed into the group of orcs behind, and corpses flew all over the sky, blood and limbs fell to the ground.
"Concentrate fire!" The commander's voice came again, and the soldiers worked together to release more magic. Flames, frost, and lightning poured down like a storm, hitting the orcs hard, causing endless tragedy.
After the orcs died, thousands of small flying insects were blown out, instantly raging on the battlefield, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of soldiers, and the dark swarms of insects filled the air like shadows at night.
The roar of the flames and the roar of the orcs intertwined, and at this moment, the meaning of life was only exchange.
Nolan and Ethan had entered the mountain fortress protected by heavy rock before the orcs attacked, and were now observing the battle outside through the observation window.
Looking at the orcs rushing in like a tide, Ethan asked solemnly: "What happened to them? Why are they so violent all of a sudden!"
Nolan shrugged: "Not sure! But this kind of large-scale gathering has happened twice in the past thousand years, and each time it was related to the abnormal movement of the monster in the Dark Moon Wasteland."
"Not sure?" Ethan raised his eyebrows: "If I remember correctly, [Ancient Eye] is still connected with the orcs!
I caught a few orcs in General Sagra's secret room before, saying that you were colluding with the orcs. I didn't wrongly accuse you! In the end, you can't explain it to me clearly?"
"I admit that I did let some orcs in, but I definitely didn't collude with the orcs!" Nolan sighed: "I also know what you said, and I even know that it was all my teacher's work, but I couldn't stop it.
According to my teacher's original idea, he wanted to use the orcs as a bargaining chip to force you to hand over the Seven Sins Artifact.
But in the end, he found that there were too many people in the North who were not under his control, so he had to give up.
Remember the last time you made a big fuss in the North?
Thanks to your big fuss, the strong men in the North realized that there was a problem with the decision-making level. After a careful investigation, they found that my uncle and others were all controlled by someone, which gave me the opportunity to take the position. "
Ethan frowned after hearing this: "Did I hear it right? Your teacher controlled others but not you? The most important thing is that others chose you when they knew your teacher was doing bad things? "
"Hey!" Nolan sighed: "My teacher is indeed the leader of the [Ancient Eye], and I did join the [Ancient Eye], but this does not mean that he wants to control me. Can't I be voluntary?
And even if you want to control others mentally, the controlled person must have mental defects. Do you think my personality can be controlled mentally?
As for why others chose me, you shouldn't ask me, but ask them!
Okay, it's meaningless to say this now!
In short, with us here, the orcs won't come in. It has been like this for thousands of years and it will be like this in the future. You should think about what you want to do!"
As he said this, Nolan opened his arms and walked towards the guards. The guards took the armor that had been prepared long ago and put it on Nolan.
"You want to go to the battlefield yourself?"
"What else?" Nolan said indifferently: "You can see that this is a game of exchanging lives. If I don't go, others will hide behind!"
After that, Nolan led a few people and walked out...
