king.

"Siege!"

Following the commander's order, countless orcs lifted up the ladders and charged towards the city wall with trembling steps.

"Boom~"

The magic crystal cannons on both sides rang out in response, turning on the confrontational bombardment mode, and gunpowder smoke filled the world for a while.

The orc soldiers who charged under the artillery fire became the biggest victims. Not only did they have to suffer from the enemy's shells, but they might also be hit by their own magic crystal cannons.

A group of wild boars were hit by their own magic crystal cannon just as they put up the ladder, sending flesh and blood flying all over the sky.

The question is: Insufficient accuracy!

With the productivity of the Orc Empire, it is a miracle in itself to be able to produce the magic crystal cannon, so what is the accuracy?
Of course, the hit rate of Alpha Kingdom's magic crystal cannon is also pitifully low.A few miles away, deviations of more than ten or twenty meters are common.

In addition to mutual artillery suppression, more firepower was poured into crowded places.No matter how low the hit rate is, as long as the general direction is right, it can play a role.

The defensive magic circle in the city has been activated. Unfortunately, the interception ability of the magic barrier is limited, and more is to weaken the enemy's attack.

The power outside is ten, and only one or two are left when it falls on the city wall.But no matter how weakened it is, it can still kill people.

Two defenders holding the rolling stone were about to smash it down, but unfortunately they were hit by artillery fire, and half of their bodies were lost.

The fierce battle continued until night fell.

In the commander's tent, Crown Prince Daniel, who once again served as the commander-in-chief, was gathering with a group of generals of various ethnic groups, waiting for the statistics of casualties.

It can be seen that Daniel, who has become the crown prince, has become a lot more restrained, and he is no longer the sharp-edged man he was in the past.

"Marshal, the statistics of the casualties of various ethnic groups are available. During the siege battle during the day, a total of 870 nine people were killed and 460 five people were injured, respectively..."

Before the young officer could finish his words, Daniel interrupted: "I understand, go down!"

As the commander-in-chief of the army, it is enough to know the total number of casualties, and there is no need to know such details.

After all, those who are now participating in the siege are all the cannon fodder race of the Orc Empire.No matter how many people died, the royal family and royal generals present would not really care.

After dismissing the young officer, Daniel said solemnly: "You have already seen the defensive capabilities of Sutex Fortress, and the situation of the enemy's other important military towns is probably similar.

Compared with the strength of the city wall, what is more worthy of vigilance is the performance of the enemy defenders.Both the combat quality and the ability to cooperate and cooperate have been greatly improved.

In the past, only the enemy's standing army had this professional quality, but now it appeared in all the defenders.

I think everyone knows what this means.The enemy has become more and more powerful. If we continue to deal with it according to the previous concepts, we will definitely suffer heavy losses.

What triggered all these changes is inseparable from the person we are least willing to mention.If the development of the Alpha Kingdom is not interrupted, the future of the empire will be worrying.

Under the crowd, no one can be alone.For the sake of the empire, we must win the Near East with minimal losses in this battle! "

As soon as the words fell to the ground, all the orcs exploded.The growing strength of the Alpha Kingdom is no secret.

The battle line has been pushed from the North to the Near East, the territory has increased by more than 200 million square kilometers, and the population has increased by tens of millions.

It's nothing more than an increase in the enemy's strength. The key point is that the Orc Empire has been in a continuous civil war in recent years, and the strength of various tribes has not increased but declined.

Under the ebb and flow, the offensive and defensive momentum of both sides is about to be reversed.

If it weren't for the development of new territories, which consumed a lot of manpower, financial resources, and material resources, it might have become the Alpha Kingdom that initiated the war now.

"Marshal, we all understand what you mean! The Alpha Kingdom poses too great a threat to the Empire, and we must interrupt their rapid development. It would be better if we could kill Hudson.

It's just that the enemy's defense line has been built now, and we obviously missed the best time to attack.

It is even more difficult to kill the enemy commander. Hudson's personal strength itself is a cloud of fog. Judging from the situation of his shots, even if it is not Sanctuary, it is estimated that it will not be much worse.

At least the best priests in the empire can't continuously cast high-level magic like him.

What's more, this person is accompanied by two sacred monsters. There are very few strong people who can match him, let alone kill him.

If the three elven queens can be invited to attack together, and a number of sanctuary powerhouses can be used to intercept, maybe they can make a difference! "

Marquis Wusuhe said carelessly.

As a general of the lion tribe, he suffered relatively few losses.At least he dared to think about how to get rid of Hudson now, and the other few who suffered a lot changed their faces immediately when they mentioned this name.

Inviting the sanctuary of the elves to attack Hudson is easy to say, but the problem is that the enemy is not a fool.

As a commander of an army, as long as he doesn't commit suicide and jump into the encirclement, he cannot be easily attacked.

You can't just break into the camp and kill people, right?

Ants kill elephants!
As long as there are a few powerhouses of the eighth rank who are willing to fight for their lives, once the powerhouses in the sanctuary are entangled, they can also be besieged and killed by the army.

Compared with the strong men in the Alpha Kingdom who fought for years and fought out of a pool of blood, the life of the elves in the sanctuary was too comfortable and comfortable.

Relying on the not-so-good ally relationship between the two sides, if someone is willing to help the situation, it is because of the overall situation, so there is no need to think about desperately.

"Marquis Wusuhe, the elves don't have to worry about it. We launched this war, and they were already opposed.

You all know the habits of those elves.If possible, they hope that the situation on the mainland will never change.

Any approach that breaks the continental pattern is heresy in their eyes.

They keep claiming to love peace, but in fact, no one knows that the elves suffered heavy losses in ancient times, which affected their fertility.

In the elves of ancient times, a team of elf couples usually produced more than a dozen offspring, and there were times when dozens of children were born.

Unlike the current elves, fertility..."

Perhaps because he realized that it was not good to say allies in this way, Daniel swallowed the last words and left it to everyone to make up their own minds.

The relationship between elves and orcs is a typical mutual disdain.These are problems left over from history, and they are also leftover problems without solutions.

After the hegemony of the elves entered a period of decline, the orc clan composed of multiple races emerged and replaced the hegemony of the elves.

There are only a few strokes in the history books, but normal people know that in the process of hegemony handover, there will definitely be friction between the old and new hegemons.

After all, there is only one way to gain the hegemony of the continent of Aslant—war!
Beat up all the ethnic groups in the mainland, and if everyone is convinced, you will be the overlord.If you can't do it, it's nothing.

When a plan is shattered, a new plan must be started.It's a pity that all strategic plans must be based on strength.

A dozen plans in a row were rejected, and the field fell silent.There is no way, there are only so many things in everyone's mind.

The enemy has solid walls and cleared the field, nesting in the city wall and cannot come out. There is really no better choice than storming and besieging.

As for bypassing the pass fortress and going directly to the enemy's rear, all the orcs tacitly didn't mention it.Even looking for death can't be sent like this, the enemy is the Great Demon King Ha.Give up the back road and go deep alone, I'm afraid I'm tired of living.

Besides, with so many soldiers and horses, logistics is also a big problem.Completely deprived of supplies, he would not be able to last long in the wild.

"Report!"

"Marshal, there was a large-scale poisoning incident in the battalion, and the sacrificial priest inspected that the enemy poisoned the corpse.

According to the priests, these toxins are very hidden and are not the poison of the undead in the past.Even if it is a high-level priest, it is difficult to find it without careful inspection..."

The bad news brought by the guards made the faces of the orc generals even more ugly.The enemy didn't want any face, and even used the most indiscriminate means of poisoning.

If it gets out...

This is an embarrassing question, and it is useless to spread it.

With the continuation of the mainland disputes, everyone's bottom line is constantly being broken.At this stage of development, the continental structure has become bipolar, and international public opinion can no longer play a role.

Anyway, they have all become enemies. As the overlord of the mainland, the human race no longer cares about the opinions of other races.

"mean!"

"Shameless!"

……

A series of cursing sounds kept ringing in the tent.

In the past, when the enemy destroyed their "food", they used undead magic.As long as you start to transform into an undead creature, you will be stained with death.

This operation is the least labor-intensive. Even one magic apprentice can contaminate dozens of corpses.There is also a professional name for the outside world: the poison of the undead.

It's just that although this thing is vicious, the corpse will change after being infected with the poison of the undead, and ordinary people can see the problem at a glance.

The number of necromancers is limited, and even if they focus on sabotage, they cannot take care of the entire front.

This wave of poisoning is obviously an advanced version.Unable to determine which corpses were contaminated, then all the corpses had to be discarded.

The loss of an important source of meat is a heavy pressure on the orc army.

"Send the order and ask the sacrificial group to come up with detection methods as soon as possible. Before then, it is forbidden to eat corpses on the battlefield!"

Daniel gritted his teeth and ordered.

At this moment, he already understood that the enemy allowed them to attack not because they were not ready for war, but because they wanted to fight a logistical battle with them.

……

In the middle of the night, a group of wind magicians quietly went to the top of the Sutex Fortress, and there were countless medicine boxes behind them.

"It is often windy at night on the grassland in winter, and now the wind direction is right at the enemy's camp. We secretly pushed forward, as long as the movement is not the wife, they should not notice it immediately!
However, the wind direction may change at night, and after the powder enters the enemy camp, it may also be blown back.

Notify the defenders in advance to prepare, and cover their mouth and nose with a damp cloth to avoid accidental injury.

Of course, there is no need to worry too much if someone is tricked. These medicinal powders have little lethality and are mainly hallucinogenic.

If something is wrong, just knock the person unconscious, and the effect of the medicine will pass when you wake up tomorrow. "

The black robe mage said slowly.

Poison production should also pay attention to cost-effectiveness. Potent poisons with immediate and immediate effects are easy to use, but the cost is too high.

In comparison, the cost of the psychedelic potion is much lower. The main material is a kind of psychedelic grass that grows in the west of the kingdom, and it is supplemented with several other raw materials.

Just by listening to the name, you can guess the effect.As long as the amount used is not too large, basically no one will die.

To release this thing here is not to poison and kill as many people as possible.

The main purpose of releasing the potion is to stimulate the senses of the orc soldiers and release the original thoughts deep in their hearts.

In the ordinary army, it might just be a few minor disturbances and farce.But in the orc army full of contradictions, it might just be a camp roar.

"Don't worry, Master Betty.

We have already prepared according to your instructions.All the soldiers covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths tonight, even when sleeping! "

After listening to Earl Ebert's assurance, Master Betty looked around and found that all the soldiers were wearing sackcloth masks except for their group of magicians.

Obviously, this is not empty talk, but really prepared.

"Go!"

With an order, all the mages on the city wall shot at the same time, using magic to sprinkle the powder into the air.

In order not to arouse the enemy's idea of ​​​​sacrifice, everyone tacitly suppressed the magic fluctuations, and cast spells without mobilizing the magic elements between heaven and earth.

As a result, everyone's consumption will be much greater.Almost everyone holds a magic crystal in their hands, constantly replenishing energy.

The north wind howled, and countless medicinal powders mixed with soil dust drifted towards the orc army camp.

"Bah, bah..."

The dust of the soil covered the powder, and the defenders didn't know what happened, but thought they were unlucky enough to eat a mouthful of ashes.

As time passed, the guards guarding the gate of the camp gradually became more angry, especially at the junction of different races, which was full of gunpowder.

"Smelly mouse, what are you looking at?"

A patrolling elephant man reprimanded the rat man team in front of him.

In the Orc Empire, it is quite normal for the upper race to reprimand the lower race.

It's just that I don't know which nerves have twitched, a young rat man suddenly rushed out of the rat man team next to the training, and directly replied: "Call who is a mouse, we are a noble family of rat men!
Unlike you, even if you evolve into an elephant man, you still can't forget your identity as a wild elephant! "

The normal quarrel ignited the elephant man's violent temper.When did the lowly Ratman dare to yell at them?
If we can still endure this, wouldn't it mean that the Elephant people have not escaped from the vulgar taste, and are still on the same level as the Rat people!
"Smelly mouse, you are courting death!"

While speaking, the irritable elephant man slashed at him with a knife, and the young rat man who was caught off guard was cut off half of his head.

In the past, when this kind of thing happened, it must be the Ratmen who apologized and calmed down.

But today is different, a group of Ratman who got angry, did not know where the courage came from, raised the weapons in their hands and charged forward.
