Chapter 0822 Siege War

Many orcs were lying on the top of the city.

They watched their loved ones fighting with the terrible undead not far from the city, but they could not get rid of the entanglement of the other party. This made them more and more anxious and irritable.

In the sky, the ghosts and eagles were entangled.

On the ground, the minotaurs, centaurs and wolf riders were fighting with the ghouls.

From the situation, the orc warriors lived up to their reputation for bravery, smashing the ghouls into blood sauce and chopping them into pieces like chopping melons and vegetables.

However, the mixed forces that went out to rescue were only 400 meters away from the orc remnants not far away, but they could not meet together.

At this moment, a fierce battle suddenly broke out inside the Dry Water City.

At some point, groups of dark shadow creatures with typical exotic features emerged from the dark corners of the Dry Water City and launched a swift attack on all nearby orcs.

At this moment, the only ones who could stay in the city were the orcs, women and children, or the old orcs who were toothless. They suddenly faced such vicious shadow creatures, and suffered a large number of casualties almost at the first sight.

The orcs who were still worried about the younger generation of the tribe outside the city immediately roared heartbreakingly, rushed down from the top of the city madly, and fought with these uninvited shadow creatures.

A dozen shadow witches did not fight these orcs head-on, but relied on their shadow hiding skills to run around in the city. Every time they arrived at a region, they opened a small passage leading to the shadow plane in the corner of the wall, and summoned a group of shadow creatures whose strength was only apprentice level.

Every now and then, there would be some level 1 shadow creatures mixed in.

It was obviously an unrealistic idea to rely on these small fish to capture a solid city with 40,000 to 50,000 orcs. But using them to disrupt the orcs' position was like a fish in water, and it couldn't be more suitable.

Orcs are all elemental insulators. Except for orc shamans who can drive and summon some elemental forces, the rest of the combat professions are mostly physical attacks. The resources in the Johnson plane are scarce, and the orc warriors have no magic equipment at all, which makes it difficult for them to kill shadow creatures in groups quickly.

The unique defense-ignoring effect of shadow creatures also hurts the orc warriors. And these wounds are attached with strands of shadow power, which cannot be healed without the dispelling of orc shamans.

Therefore, relying on many shadow creatures, only a dozen 1st and 2nd level shadow witches have made the Dry Water City restless and the people's hearts scattered.

At this time, the death witches have driven the dead corpse tide across the horizon, submerging the orc remnants and the poor rescue team who are still struggling outside the city bit by bit.

The huge dead corpse tide did not stop at all, and hit the wall of the Dry Water City like a black tide.

Kushui City has only two gates, east and west. The towering walls are covered with turrets and bastions. A powerful crossbow and a burst of arrows reveal half of their bodies from the battlements. The crossbow arrows carried on them are more than 2 meters long, as thick as a child's arm, and the crossbows made of fine iron emit a cold light under the bright sky.

As the corpse tide approaches, a burst of crossbow arrows fly down from the top of the city, passing through the group of undead with a piercing whistle, piercing them into skewers.

Such a horrifying scene, if the attackers were replaced by humans, I'm afraid they would have been frightened to the point of their heartbeats and legs weak, and their morale would have plummeted. But the undead driven by the witches obviously don't have this problem. Even in the dense rain of arrows, they still scream and pounce on the 12-meter-high city wall.

The orcs' walls are made of rough and hard boulders, and there are countless spiked wooden stakes on them. These were originally used to prevent large-scale beast tides nearby, but they did not expect to encounter another terrible enemy today, the dead corpse tide.

The dark corpse tide surged under the city wall, clustered into a group of meat lumps, and then pushed and shoved each other to climb up. The zombies moved very slowly and their movements were very clumsy, but as the meat piled up and became thicker and thicker, countless terrible undeads slowly extended to the top of the city.

The orcs who were lying on the top of the city and throwing stones down were all terrified and their faces turned blue, and their hands and feet were weak.

Looking down from their perspective, they saw ugly and hideous faces, and vicious undeads who were desperate and rushed forward. These undeads seemed to have no idea what fear was. Even when facing the boulders smashed by the orcs, or the crossbows shot in front of them, they still opened their bloody mouths, stretched out their dirty and filthy claws, and issued fierce threats to the enemies who were close at hand.

They are not living things, but just a group of corpses that can move freely under the power of witchcraft!

And being devoured by such undead spirits, even with the care of the beast god, the orcs' souls will probably fall into the terrible lower realm to be ravaged.

It is with this cognition that these devout believers of the beast god have a trace of fear from the bottom of their hearts for the first time, and have a strong urge to escape from here!

However, the bloodiness and fierceness in the origin of the orcs' souls offset their fear, making them constantly attack the undead spirits under the city wall in waves of roars and screams.

Crossbows are shooting, and kerosene is splashing everywhere.

With a rocket, a huge flame suddenly exploded under the city wall.

The whole field was immediately filled with the pungent smell of roasted corpses, which made people want to vomit.

Grimm, who was watching the battle from a distance behind the corpse tide, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Although the undead army was just cannon fodder created by the death witches, they couldn't be squandered so recklessly! Plane wars are endless, and if you want to conquer any mature plane, you must be prepared for a protracted war.

Now that the plane gate has been closed, there are only so many undead that the death witches brought into the Johnson plane. They have all been consumed in the early stage, so what can they rely on to stop the real army of the Orc Empire in the later stage?

It seems that we need to suppress the undead corpses.

At Grimm's signal, Gru, the brain-split, once again led the magic archer troops to slowly approach the city wall. When they reached the right position, Gru stopped and began to order the magic archers to frantically pour firepower on the top of the city wall to suppress the defensive operations of the defenders on the city head.

300 magic shooters equipped with magic ray guns stood in place one by one, and the ray guns in their hands shot out dazzling red rays. Each time, 300 scorching rays were enough to cover a section of the city wall area 50 to 60 meters above the city.

Those orcs who were covered by the battlements were lucky enough to escape this swift attack. But those orcs who leaned out and threw boulders frantically to the city were in trouble. Their bodies were pierced with dense blood holes, and they fell down screaming.

Orcs are brave and fearless. Orcs are the strongest and most courageous warriors in the entire Johnson plane! But this still cannot make up for the huge difference in equipment between the two sides.

The orcs' equipment is all taken from the barren northwest wilderness, where there is a lack of large metal deposits and skilled blacksmiths who can make sophisticated weapons and protective gear. Therefore, it is almost impossible to see well-equipped full body armor on orc warriors.

The only thing they have is a thin animal skin and a sturdy body!

The orcs may be extremely powerful, but their bodies are still made of flesh and blood. Facing the overwhelming scorching rays, they can hardly take out equipment to resist them except trying their best to avoid and wailing in pain.

Dawa, who was hiding in a solid bastion and peeping at the battlefield, punched the rough rock hard. The rock collapsed where his fist landed, revealing a deep pit covered with spider-web-like cracks.

"Where did these damn witches find so many metal puppets... No, we can't let the warriors on the top of the city defend against the enemy's intensive attack. Go, inform the group of cyclops, it's their turn to play..."

A messenger ran out immediately.

A moment later, somewhere under the city, a group of twelve or thirteen cyclops, led by a giant king, slowly climbed to the top of the city.

Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of the witches under the city.

Cyclops who can throw stones? It seems that they are the only ranged troops on the orcs' side!

Seeing the Cyclops appear, Grimm couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

This group of 300 magic archers is the main force of his participation in the plane war this time. If they are destroyed by these Cyclops with an average level of 2, Grimm will probably be heartbroken.

So Grimm gritted his teeth and forced a smile, raised his hand and threw out two magic puppet crystal cores, summoning two terrifying fire demons with a height of 5 meters. And he himself also transformed into a tall fire demon with flames all around his body with a roar.

Three fire demons appeared in one breath, which also made the eyes around the battlefield focus on Grimm.

Under the leadership of Grimm, the two terrifying fire demons came to the front of the magic archer troops, one on the left and one on the right, and the three of them came shoulder to shoulder. Facing the city wall of Kushui City in the distance, they began to summon large-scale red flames, meteor showers and doomsday volcanoes.

Although the attack power of the 2nd level witchcraft poses a limited threat to 3rd level creatures, it is not sparing for the horror scene of doomsday disasters for the middle and low-level orcs.

Fire rain meteors fell from the high sky, and the impact and flame shock waves caused terrible damage to the distant city walls. And a column of red flames with a diameter of ten meters suddenly exploded somewhere on the top of the city, which could involve twenty or thirty orc warriors at a time.

Such magic flames flowed over the city walls, and those 1st level orc warriors were burned to ashes in the sky-high fire pillars without even having time to call for help. Only those 2nd level orcs could rush out of the fire with their strong physiques, and their bodies were burned black.

Moreover, the ignited magic flames would not disappear easily, but attached to the stones and continued to burn, and even ignited the wooden war machines on the top of the city.

The top of Kushui City was immediately in chaos!
