Free Web NovelAt the highest point of the West Gate tower, eighteen figures stood side by side.
Lin Feng stood at the front, his hands resting on the battlements. His gaze passed over the city wall and fell on the gradually clearing black line to the west.
Jiang Zhaoyue, Jiang Yelan, Zhao Hu... all the third-tier combatants were present, their eyes filled with the same fighting spirit.
Lin Feng turned to look at Meng Yi on his left.
"We only have fourteen air combatants, while the orcs have twenty-four. The gap is not small."
When we can't hold out any longer, we'll descend to about 150 meters. Have the Qin elite soldiers provide cover with crossbow bolts.
Meng Yi pressed his right fist against his chest: "Yes, sir."
"Furthermore," Lin Feng continued, "we will send a thousand elite Qin soldiers to form a guard team with Zhao Hu and Tie Dun, specifically to protect the rear ranks."
Su Yurou, Feng Qingyan, Su Yuehua, and Jiang Wan, the four of you are the core of the rear guard. Stay with the escort team and do not stray.
Su Yurou nodded gently.
Feng Qingyan gripped her staff and replied crisply, "Understood!"
Tie Dun replied loudly, "Don't worry, my lord, I, Tie Dun, will protect the back row with my life!"
Lin Feng's gaze swept over the rest of the group, and his voice rose a few decibels: "The rest of you, once your health drops to 60%, do not linger in battle. Immediately descend to 150 meters."
Once your health drops to 30%, retreat to the guard post. Don't try to fight it out. Also, if I get surrounded, don't worry about me; wait for my signal.
Everyone answered in unison.
Lin Feng said no more, turned around, and faced west.
One minute later.
On the western horizon, a green line slowly rises, growing wider and denser.
An army of 80,000 orcs surged forth from the Golden Ear Plain like a green tide.
Twenty mammoth war elephants led the way, their hooves striking the ground, causing it to tremble rhythmically.
The orcs' war cries could be heard for miles around; they were deep, rough, and deafening.
On the city wall, the defenders gripped their weapons tightly. No one spoke; all eyes were fixed on the surging green sea.
When the orc army was still three miles away from Hangu Pass, twenty-four black figures suddenly exploded in the air.
They soared into the sky from behind the orc army and headed straight for the west gate tower.
Leading the group were two orcs, each surrounded by the glow of four pieces of golden equipment. One wielded a double-edged great axe, and the other carried a large club made of animal bone. The golden aura of their weapons was dazzling in the sunlight.
Lu Dingchuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the orcs are going all out. They didn't even bother with basic probing and just sent out their entire force."
Lin Feng smiled slightly as he took the Wildfire Spear from behind his back and held it in his hand.
"It's better not to test the waters; it saves time."
With a stomp of his foot, the golden light of his Sky-Chasing Boots exploded in the air, leaving a trail of afterimages. He was like a golden meteor, rushing straight toward the two orc war lords.
Lin Feng thrust his spear towards Goron's face, but Goron's Bonebreaker Axe swept across, "Clang!" Sparks flew, and the shockwave tore a hole in the surrounding clouds.
Salga attacked from the flank, his giant bone club aimed at Lin Feng's ribs. Lin Feng dodged to the side and forced Salga back with a backhand shot.
The two attacked simultaneously, but Lin Feng fought against them both, his spear tip moving like a dragon, showing no signs of weakness. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Jiang Zhaoyue, Jiang Yelan, Lu Dingchuan, Liu Zhenshan, Ivan, and eleven others followed closely behind, each charging into the enemy ranks, each fighting two opponents at once.
Jiang Zhaoyue swept her Silver Moon Heavenly Spear horizontally, forcing back the orc swordsman on the left with one thrust, and then thrust her spear at the orc warrior on the right flank.
Jiang Yelan silently drew his Shadow Moon Blade, his figure appearing and disappearing between the two orc sword saints, the blade flashing from an unpredictable angle.
Lu Dingchuan drew his ancient sword, its light as clear as water, simultaneously entangling an orc general and an orc prophet.
Liu Zhenshan swung his golden greatsword with powerful, sweeping strokes, directly clashing with the combined strikes of the two orc sword saints, sparks flying everywhere.
Ivan swept his giant axe across the battlefield, taking on two orc generals single-handedly, forcing them to retreat repeatedly, and frost runes lit up on the axe blade.
The others also found themselves in fierce battles, each fighting two opponents at once. Flames exploded in the air, and the sounds of battle shook the heavens.
On the city wall, Su Yurou, Jiang Wan, and Su Yuehua stood in a triangle formation, raising the Bone Healing Staff, the Silver Staff, and the Emerald Staff simultaneously.
The healing spell, with its interwoven emerald green and warm white light, continuously fell upon the powerful members of their own side in the air.
Feng Qingyan stood behind the battlements, waved her staff, and unleashed a fireball that ripped through the sky, striking an orc swordsman's face with pinpoint accuracy, exploding into a ball of orange-red flames.
Tie Dun and Zhao Hu stood in front of them, shields held side by side, like two moving walls.
"Miss Feng, aim carefully, don't blow up your own people!"
Tie Dun turned around and shouted. Feng Qingyan's shield flashed, and she glared at him: "I aimed really well! Look who that shot hit just now?"
Tie Dun scratched his head and stammered, "It...it blew up...the orcs."
Zhao Hu kept his eyes fixed on the battle situation in the air, ready to receive his retreating personnel at any time.
...
On the ground, the 80,000-strong orc army had advanced to within 800 meters of the city wall.
Meng Yi stood on the command platform at the highest point of the city tower, holding a command flag, his eyes sweeping across the guards on the city wall and the green tide surging in from outside the city like a hawk.
White One to White Six stand on the left and right, their halberds planted firmly on the ground, silent as iron.
800 meters.
Meng Yi suddenly waved the command flag downwards.
On the city wall, the winches of two hundred catapults simultaneously emitted a piercing creaking sound. The centurion waved his arm: "Fire!"
The stone projectile flew out of the barrel, tracing a low, flat arc, and crashed into the orc infantry formation, exploding in a spray of blood mist, with bone fragments and dirt flying everywhere.
Three orcs were pinned down by the boulder, while several others nearby were injured in the legs by the flying rocks, howling and rolling around.
The blue canister of the Ice Blast Potion exploded in the crowd, filling the air with icy mist. Orcs within a three-meter radius were covered in frost and their speed plummeted.
However, the damage is only 50 points. The area damage of 120 minus the orc's 70 defense leaves 50 points that can't even scratch the skin.
An orc infantryman, shrouded in icy mist, reached out and patted the frost off his body. The frost crumbled, and he continued running. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
The explosive agent blasted open the orange-red flames, also dealing only 50 points of damage.
The orc infantry charged out of the flames, their leather armor smoking, cursing, "Itchy! It's a little itchy!"
The centurion next to him kicked him, saying, "If it itches, just run a few more steps, and the fire will go out by itself!"
The smoke agent created thick smoke in front of the siege engines, obscuring the vision of the orc archers.
The troll archer stomped his foot angrily on the elephant's back: "I can't see anything! I can't see anything at all!"
The defending crossbowmen seized the opportunity to concentrate their fire, and iron arrows as thick as a child's arm flew out with a whooshing sound. One arrow pierced the axle of a ladder cart, causing the cart to overturn with a crash, and the ladder smashed onto the head of the orc below.
