429 Chapter 332: Destruction of the Natural Disaster
Richard looked at the Orc City in the valley, his eyes supremely interested.
The orcs' architectural style was more rugged than the desert, or one could describe it as barbaric and primitive.
The orcs built the city wall with giant stones. It was more than 30 meters high and 100 meters long, connecting two hills more than 100 meters high.
The surface was uneven. Ordinary people could even climb up on their hands and feet.
They called it a city wall, but it was more like an enlarged version of a wall.
On the top of the city wall, enormous sharpened wood wrapped around steel pestles and pointed outward. It was completely different from the delicate design of human cities. It was outrageous.
Orcs over two meters in size with their fangs exposed outside their lips patrolled back and forth. Their fierce eyes constantly looked outside the city wall.
Soldiers covered in scars of all sizes would tell the enemy who the owner of the land was at the first moment once an enemy attacked.
Richard could see dozens of arrow towers that looked like the teeth of giant beasts as he looked over the city wall.
The densely packed bullet holes on them made one's heart tremble.
Large and small fortifications covered the two 100-meter-high hills on the left and right.
The attack they would receive would not be any weaker than a frontal attack if the enemy wanted to cross the hill.
It was a rough but armed city.
However, the orcs on high alert at the moment puzzled Richard.
The wyverns in the sky continued to rise and fall. They loaded the heavy crossbows on the arrow towers. The number of soldiers on the city wall even exceeded the usual number.
The orcs seemed to be on guard against something.
'Did the other party know about the arrival of Twilight City?
'But it didn't make sense. With this vigilance, it was distinct that it would last for a while.
'Could it be that the other party could predict in advance?
'Or we have been exposed?'
Richard turned his head and looked behind him. The Concealment Power had enveloped the entire troop, and the outside world ultimately could not sense it.
Gunter rode on a dark gargoyle and approached Richard quickly while puzzled.
"Lord, we caught two small teams of wolf riders...
Richard listened carefully.
"We found out that the total number of orcs in the troop is 12,000 after interrogation."
"Three thousand less? What's the reason?"
"Three thousand people have already died. The orcs went on an expedition ten days ago. They used more than two legions and only returned three days ago..."
Richard nodded. The orcs were always aggressive, so this wasn't a surprise.
No wonder the security was so tight. It was the aftermath of the war.
"What force did the orcs fight with?"
"It's an ancient vampire castle. They seem to have gained something. The city has been on alert for the past few days."
"Vampire?"
Richard's brow furrowed.
In the "Shining Era", vampires belonged to the standard evil camp. Although a few were in the primary plane, they were well-known for their soul-stripping battle power.
"What else did you find out?"
Gunter shook his head with a hint of pity.
"There's nothing else. The other party couldn't withstand my spiritual erosion, and its soul collapsed...
Richard didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The uneasiness in his heart dissipated after he understood.
His eyes gradually became sharp as he looked at the Orc City with dozens of wyverns.
"Heavily guarded?"
He would like to see if the other party could withstand the power of Twilight City...
******
The orc chieftain, a lot stronger than the other orcs, was on the tall stone wall. It checked the defense with more than ten guards.
The chieftain immediately stepped forward and shouted at the orc guards once they let their guard down.
The high-frequency patrols kept the city's defenses on high alert.
The chieftain stopped after two rounds of strolls, and a few guards took advantage of the time to drink water to look at the orc chieftain in confusion.
"My Lord, didn't we win the last time we attacked those vampires? Although we didn't raze the castle to the ground, we killed or injured more than half of the vampires. Why are we still so careful?
"In this land, the orcs were the most powerful kings.
"Who could threaten us?"
When the orc chieftain heard this, it thought about how it hadn't even seen a fly in the past few days, let alone an enemy, and its expression relaxed a bit.
"Don't be careless. It's the chieftain's order!"
It lowered its voice as it spoke and revealed a look of excitement on its face.
"Don't tell anyone that the shaman seems to have gotten a lot of good things from the blood clan. To prevent those lowly lives from doing something desperate, he has been on high alert..."
Those who could become personal guards were the most trusted people, so the orc chieftain didn't hide anything.
A few personal guards suddenly understood, but then they seemed to have thought of something and said it with disgust.
"My Lord, when will we expel those grace mainland overlords? I'm disgusted by the sight of those cunning and greedy humans..."
The orc chieftain shook its head.
"We couldn't break into the vampire's castle so easily without the information from the grace mainland lords. Although those lowly humans are greedy, they are quite capable. In the future, you guys…"
A rumbling sound sounded like a waterfall fell from the nine heavens before the chieftain could finish its sentence.
The orc chieftain had a bad feeling and suddenly turned its head to look outside the city wall.
In the next second, it felt its hands and feet turn cold.
At some point, the green grass outside the city walls had turned into a yellow sand land.
In the blink of an eye, countless grains of sand rose from the ground, forming a 50-meter-tall sand wave.
One had to look up to see the sand wave distinctly if one stood more than 30 meters high.
"What was this?"
The orc chieftain was extremely shocked.
However, just as it was about to move, the monstrous sand wave had already condensed to its limit.
In the next second, the mountain collapsed.
'Boom! Boom!'
It swept toward the city wall with a terrifying aura that could devour everything.
"Natural disaster!"
All the orc soldiers on the city wall swallowed their saliva, and their hands held weapons trembled uncontrollably.
The orcs dared to charge even when facing a dragon.
However, these brave and fearful soldiers felt an irrepressible fear.
It was the emotion that seeped out from the depths of the soul of ordinary life forms when they were helpless against natural disasters.
Even the strongest and bravest veteran felt a chill down its spine.
The orc chieftain finally recovered and fiercely turned its head. It used using all its strength to roar hysterically.
"Enemy attack!"
However, rumbling sand waves drowned the sound waves within twenty meters.
At this moment, the only sound in the world was the roar of the sand waves. Even if the orc soldiers were only one or two meters away, they had to use their loudest voices to hear the other party.
It threw the orcs on the city wall into chaos.
Some soldiers turned around and ran. Some raised their shields and prepared to take the hit. And some were at a loss, not knowing what to do.
The sand wave was too fast. It did not give the orcs much time to react.
The orcs were in chaos.
'Boom! Boom!'
The terrifying wave reached the front of the city wall.
A colossal wave 20 meters above the city wall was about to surge into the city.
At that moment, a translucent magic shield appeared. It covered the entire city.
'Boom! Boom!'
When the sand wave hit the magic shield, it was like a vast wave that hit a reef. Sand and gravel flew up to a height of 100 meters.
This scene had a strong visual impact.
When the orcs saw this, they panicked on the city wall and felt a sense of relief that they had survived a disaster. And they subconsciously turned their heads.
They saw an old orc with a hunched back that floated in the air.
On top of the black staff in its hand, a transparent gem exuded dark blue magic energy. It forcibly supported the magic shield.
Everyone was overjoyed.
"Lord shaman!"
It quickly calmed down their heart filled with fear and anxiety.
Their morale began to soar.
With the great shaman around, no one could take down their city!
Everyone was in a state of excitement.
The sky suddenly darkened.
In the orc's eyes, a dazzling blade light slashed out from the endless sand waves.
Wherever the blade ray passed, the space shattered like glass.
The shaman, who floated in the sky, had an indescribable fear on its face.
It wanted to struggle and escape, but it was as if an invisible giant hand had pressed it down on the ground. It could not move.
Under the gazes of all the orcs.
At this moment, the only blade light in the world cut through the shaman with an overbearing posture.
'Puchi!'
The blade cut the corpse in half. The blade light behind it directly shattered it into countless pieces.
It continued to move backward after it cut through the shaman.
One by one, the top of the tall arrow towers were cut off and fell to the ground. It caused dust to fly into the air.
The ray of light extended for hundreds of meters before it disappeared into the air.
The surprised expressions on the orc soldiers' faces were like lightning hit them.
Their eyes were wide open, and disbelief filled their faces.
"A level 16 shaman… Gone?"
The enemy killed the shaman, right under their eyes?
The situation had changed too quickly, and they needed to be more mentally prepared...
In the Orc City, a few players who had just received the orc chieftain's reward heard the commotion outside and immediately came out in high spirits. They wanted to see if there were any new quests to trigger.
But the first thing they saw when they walked out of the building was the death of the level 16 orc shaman, who was almost invincible to them.
Shock, disbelief, and confusion. The expression on their faces changed drastically.
"The enemy killed the level 16 hero instantly just like that!
"Who was attacking? Why was he so powerful?
"These damned orcs, why did they provoke an existence they couldn't afford to offend?
A crisp crack resounded through the sky before they could return to their senses.
The players subconsciously looked up at the city wall where the sound came from.
Their pupils reflected a scene that made them even more stunned.
Countless cracks appeared on the translucent magic shield blocking the sand wave ...
The next second.
Bang~
Without the support of the shaman's power, the magic shield broke.
The compressed-to-the-limit sand wave smashed down.
Waves swallowed the orcs on the city wall.
The wave of sand was highly violent and drowned everything.
The tall arrow towers collapsed one by one, destroying the houses. The orcs who wanted to escape could not do anything, and sand waves directly swept them.
