"Shoot!" Iovia commanded while standing on the city wall, waving the scimitar in his hand. His eyes were red and he hadn't had a good rest for two days.
"Your Highness Iovia! The orcs are attacking the west wall! My king has led the troops to guard it, and I leave this place to you!" Maple Leaf Zi said breathlessly, holding the sword at his waist.
"Don't worry, elves are much tougher than you think!" Iovia glanced at the tired Maple Leaf Purple Queen and said loudly.
"Kill!" The western city wall in the distance was already in a fierce battle. The defenders of Lothnir, wearing dwarf-made iron armor, were desperately pouring rain of arrows down the city wall.
"Oh~" An orc carrying a sack full of mud was shot through the chest by an armor-piercing arrow. It staggered forward two steps and threw the sack in its hand away, without making any movement.
"Bang!" The sharp arrow opened the orc's skull, and the warm, white brain matter flew out.
"Hmm~" Through the rain of arrows, an orc's flying axe spun upstream and directly pierced through the body of a human soldier. The escaping fighting spirit directly tore this ordinary soldier apart in mid-air.
"Orc warriors! Their professionals are coming!" The tragic scene immediately attracted Bai Yi's attention, but the flying axes flying up from below made his expression instantly gloomy.
"Do they think we are vulnerable?" Bai Yi's face turned dark.
"Keep shooting! Stop the orcs from filling up the moat!" Maple Leaf Purple shouted loudly after chopping off a flying axe that was flying towards White Wing with his sword.
"Swish~" Under Fengye Zi's command, the originally sparse rain of arrows suddenly became denser.
"Oh no!" Maple Leaf Zi suddenly discovered that the moat under the city had been filled to form a "path" less than ten meters long.
"Suppress them! Don't let them up!" Bai Yi also noticed the fatal "road".
"Don't be afraid of sacrifice! Charge forward! Quickly defend the city!" The Orc leader on this side also noticed the fatal gap.
The two sides immediately engaged in a desperate fight over the protrusion that the orcs had waded through with their flesh and blood.
"Damn it! Maple Leaf, we have to interrupt the orcs' offensive!" Bai Yi shouted to Maple Leaf Zi Li beside him as he watched the orcs frantically filling the river around the filled-up road.
At this time, the road was slowly widening... and lengthening... under the piles of orcs' corpses and sacks... The blood of the orcs dyed the river water dark green.
"Ha!" A sword beam like a streak of silk fell from the sky. Fengye looked at the orcs who were getting closer and closer. After realizing that he could no longer suppress the orcs' offensive with bows and arrows alone, he decisively jumped down from the city wall and blocked the orcs from the front.
"Flame Slash!" Feng Ye danced the long sword in his hand and drew a semicircle. The scorching battle energy gushed out violently, and a flaming blade nearly three meters long was slashed out by him.
"Knights! Go down to the city and suppress them!" Bai Yi gritted his teeth as he looked at the weak Maple Leaf Purple, and finally sent out the knights who were the last resort.
"Bang!" There was a series of sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the knights of the city of Losenniel fell from the sky with shields and swords in their hands.
"For the glory of knights! Kill!" The knights from the grasslands gave a thunderous roar.
The next moment, the orcs successfully filled the moat. This twenty-meter road was paved with the lives of nearly a thousand orcs...
"Boom!" The knights holding shields, led by the Maple Leaf Knight, fiercely collided with the Orc vanguard!
There were a total of 54 knights present! White Wing invited all the aging knights out, from the Grand Knights to the Apprentice Knights, and they formed a phalanx and bravely fought the orcs.
"Swish!" After blocking the orc warrior's slash, a knight suddenly thrust out the long sword in his hand. The long sword, which was attached with the wind element's fighting spirit, was slightly hindered when breaking through the fighting spirit protecting the orc warrior's body. It easily pierced the orc through and the violent wind element crushed its internal organs. The orc, who was of the same level as him, struggled for a few times and fell limply to the ground.
"Bang!" Through the dented chain mail and the backward figure, one could see that the old knight was seriously injured. Even with the guard activated, he was still severely injured by the orc in front of him.
"Mercy!" Under tremendous pressure, the knights on the front line activated their skills - mercy, to reduce the damage they received.
"Guard!" The trainee knight in the last row quickly gave the guard skill to the knight in front.
"Keep the formation! Don't let the orcs squeeze our living space! Listen to my orders! Push them out! Shield strike!" Maple Leaf Zili roared.
"Boom!" A roar resounded through the air. Dozens of shields, driven forward by the knights' concentrated fighting spirit, lashed out fiercely. The raging fighting spirit sent the surrounding Orcs flying. The Orcs struck head-on were either shattered to pieces due to the disparity in strength, or fell to the ground with blood shed from their heads. Instantly, the Orcs' offensive slowed.
Looking at the countless orcs around them who were blown away and fell into the water, the knights consciously huddled together to form a phalanx with both offensive and defensive capabilities.
"Huh!" Bai Yi let out a long breath after seeing the orcs being pushed back. Just now, he almost thought that the knights' phalanx was about to be broken through.
…
"The White Wing King is under a lot of pressure!" Peter Gro walked over and said to Iovia who was leaning on a scimitar.
"He has too few troops. The orcs may use him as a breakthrough point. We must be careful! The orc lord in front of us is very cunning! He knows how to deal with the elves, and he also knows how to deplete our morale and physical strength!" Iovia looked at the orc army that was regrouping in the distance, and for the first time, a look of fear appeared in her eyes.
"You're worthy of being Sauron's lackey! Without some real skills, you're really nothing!" Iovia laughed in anger.
"Knight Kaslo, get ready. The White Wing King needs your support at any time." Iovia turned his head and said, beside him was Roland's dragon knight Kaslo.
"The king sent me here for this very moment." Caslo nodded in agreement.
"The difficult time has not yet come! The orcs have not launched a general attack yet. They are just consuming our physical strength and supplies!" Iovia said lightly, glancing at the chaotic orc army in the distance.
Now that the orcs had gotten over their initial panic, they cut down trees to make thick wooden shields, then covered them with mud and poured water on them. In cold weather, the water condensed into ice, instantly giving the wooden shields a defensive power comparable to that of iron shields. As for lifespan? Who cares about that thing!
"Everyone be on alert!" Iovia said painfully after looking at the elf soldiers who were slumped on the ground in a disgraceful manner, then at the five thousand-man phalanxes of orcs marching in the distance. His fellow orcs were extremely tired, but he could not let them rest... The war was not over yet!
"Target two miles! Projectile!" Iovia roared angrily, and a rain of arrows shot up into the sky behind her...
