Chapter 587

Clancia, the northern frontier counties.

The gray and dim sky flashed once, and then the faint thunder came from the distant sky. The drizzle fell like silk thread and fell to the earth, making everything in the field of vision hazy.

The continuous Daise mountains are shrouded in the misty rain, and the cold waves are repeated. In this early spring, people feel even colder.

Since the army of the black rock duchy invaded the territory of clancia, many passes have been lost. Although there are moments of successful resistance and victory, they are few in the end.

After the long halberd faction defeated the bow hunting faction, the leaders of the mercenaries still failed to reach unity, but formed their own faction and fought openly and secretly.

In view of this situation, the cold frost joint mission simply gave up the idea of integrating them. Instead, according to the number and strength of its subordinates, it supported equipment, weapons and money respectively, allowing them to attack clancia from all directions.

So these long halberds recruited soldiers in their own territory, and then poured into clanesia from every corner like locusts. The complex and changeable terrain in the mountains also gave them more room to move, wandering and plundering the border counties and provinces.

Ironfelt, Netherland.

On the gray solid wall of the city, a soldier was watching the distant forest and mountain road in the watchtower, always on guard against a group of enemies.

The rain falls on the stone bricks on the city wall, splashes one after another, and then flows into the lower part of the city wall along the grooves on both sides.

A foot in a black leather boot splashed water on the stairs, and then the bolt of the thick wooden door of the watchtower was lifted up, and several people came into it with the figure of a hat and a rain coir.

"What's the situation?" The figure took off his hat and stood on the wall.

"Report to commander bard that there is no sign of the enemy for the time being."

"Well." Bud nodded, then went to the wide window with some people beside him, overlooking the gray world outside.

"It seems that there is no march in the rain on the other side of Heiyan. The rain makes the mountain road muddy and difficult to walk. It can ease the enemy's attack temporarily." Said an old man beside bud.

"What's more, rainy days can greatly reduce the effect of the firearm in the opponent's hand."

"Our overall military strength is several times less than that of the other side. Otherwise, it's also a very good opportunity to attack." Bud said so.

After studying in Military Academy for a few years, he is no longer the one who used to be only capable of brute force.

"Does the intelligence department estimate the number of people on the other side today?" He turned his head and looked at the thin figure on the other side.

"Cough... They don't know the exact number, but they have about 500000 in total. Many of them are called up temporarily. They can't be called the army, they are more like robbers." The corner of the bandage can be seen at the collar of this figure. It seems that he was injured some time ago, but he has not recovered yet.

"Thank you for your hard work." Bud patted the player next to him on the back and looked out into the mountains in the rain and fog.

"Unfortunately, there are only about 180000 garrisons in our towns. Most of them have to defend the city to protect the villagers who have moved in. Only about 30000 of them can go out to fight. Moreover, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the enemy is scattered everywhere, so it is difficult to defeat them at one stroke. "

Since the attack of the black rock principality, several of its main elite troops have circled around the big cities, while the rest of the various small forces have raided all over the country and destroyed local buildings and villages.

In order to protect many vulnerable villagers, local officials had to move many people to large towns for centralized protection. As a result, the army was scattered and it was difficult to fight outside the city.

As the thunder died out, the rain stopped slowly, and the sky became bright for a short time. Then the sun gradually fell into the horizon.

And just when people thought that Heiyan would not take action today, sparse footsteps and moving sound gradually came from the wild forest outside the city. Then the city began to ring the emergency bell, a soldier was aroused, with weapons rushed to the wall, ready.

As the shaking figure slowly approached, the sergeant in charge of the city saw a black rock soldier in scaly armor. They were approaching the city with a thick square wooden shield.

With the sound of the group's armor rubbing and colliding, towering siege machines loomed at the end of the field of vision.

Although there were not many technicians in Heiyan, they had the support of alchemists from frost Union. They took advantage of these rainy days to cut down a lot of trees. Under the guidance of alchemists, they built solid well aprons.

In this way, the war machinery is like a large mobile watchtower, on which there is a two-tier platform for hundreds of people to stand, and the top and surrounding are covered with iron sheet to prevent shooting.

Mulun creaks and spins on the rugged road, making a sound of toothache. On the well stand a soldier with a firegun, whose height is even higher than the city wall.

"Aim, put!" A Archer on the wall ignited his rocket and fired it at a huge well in the dark.

The flame flew across the sky, leaving shadows on the retina, and then fell on the shelter of the well appendix. Unfortunately, it had just rained recently and was extremely wet. Now these rockets can't light the well appendix.

At this time, the continuous fire light on the well appendix, the rapid and intensive shooting sound, directly knocked down the soldiers on the city wall.

Even though many defenders have shields in their hands, those sophisticated alchemy creations still shoot powerful lead bullets into them, penetrating the hard shields and armor, killing the soldiers in the rear.

"Son of a bitch!"

A city guard's eyes were red when he saw this scene. He took a long bow and put a feather arrow on the string. The deep magic began to twinkle around the arrow. Then he shot it out and flashed through the air. He shot a Musketeer on the forehead and killed him.

He shot arrows one after another and knocked down a Musketeer, but this action also attracted the enemy's attention.

"Aim at him, shoot!"

There was a burst of cheering from the well, and then the sound of intensive Shooting rang out. A short and blazing fire flashed by, and hundreds of lead bullets shot across the atmosphere at the officer.

Most of them fell on the surrounding walls because of the accuracy problem, chiseling out small holes, and dozens of them were also shot on the officer's body.

The iron flakes were flying, the flesh and blood were crushed, and the huge impact of the bullet made the officer shudder. Leaning against the wall behind him, he slowly slipped down and fell on the ground in a pool of dark red blood.

Such scenes are constantly staged on the city wall. Although a small number of bowmen fight back, it is difficult to cause damage because of the enemy's armor and siege machinery. At the same time, the soldiers of black rock were condescending, shooting in rotation, alternating back and forth, relying on the powerful power of muskets to kill the soldiers of clancia.

Even though the excellent armor on the side of clancia can protect a lot of bullets, without the help of powerful attack weapons, many soldiers can only be beaten passively, and finally they are pierced through the gaps and weak parts of the armor and die on the wall.

Bang——

A loud noise came from under the wall, and then bricks and stones splashed. A wall collapsed, revealing a small gap.

Relying on the combined supply of cold and frost explosives, under the cover of the well, walking black rock soldiers blew up a section of the city wall and began to pour into the city.

"No!"

The high-ranking officers in the rear command were cold in the heart, but there was no good way at the moment. They had to send soldiers to bravely face the enemy's artillery fire to block the gap.

The soldiers of Heiyan rushed in from the gap with long halberds and fought with the soldiers of clanesia who came to encircle them. For a moment, the two sides began a tug of war of life and death under the city wall. The sound of firecrackers never stops. Small flare balls rise in the hands of frost United mages, and then fall up and down the city wall to illuminate the enemy. On their own side, they hide in the hazy darkness and attack the garrison on the city wall.

Shouts, the sound of gold and iron, the broken sound of lead bombs, interweaved in the orange fire. In this cold night, both sides are red eyed. Many defenders injured by lead bullets are still trying to kill the robbers and bandits who attack their homes. Their pain and hearing are gradually blurred in the fierce battle.

The blood flowed along the gun barrel and sword handle. It was wet, rich and sticky. But there was no spare time to wipe it. Everyone could only use their remaining strength to chop at the ferocious enemy in front of them, until finally their brain and vision were blank, and they fell into the corpses on the ground.

Under the cover of muskets, the soldiers of Heiyan began to break through the encirclement of the garrison and slowly entered each roadway. They smashed the doors of every house, plundered the property and set fire to it.

Scorching sparks are floating in the city, dispersing the cold of early spring, and cries are heard everywhere in the city.

Bud took the sword and the Knights around him to fight with the enemy in the street. Then he yelled to make the residents of the city retreat to the military school in the center. Although it is a school, it is also a small fortress. At this time, only there is more security.

Shua——

A metallic tremor flashed. It was the sound of splitting armor. A black rock soldier slowly knelt down and fell to the ground, revealing a huge gap in his abdomen.

"Can you hold on“ Bud put away his sword, looked at the enemy coming in the distance, and asked his comrades behind him without looking back.

"Not bad... Hiss... Thank you, commander." The knight held back the pain of the tear, gritted his teeth and insisted. He grew up in this wild forest since childhood. Now, in order to protect his younger brothers and sisters in the rear, this kind of pain and sacrifice is nothing.

"Good!"

Bud responded, and he would not say anything comforting at the moment. This is the reality. Sometimes it doesn't shift according to people's wishes, but so what? People still have to fight hard to protect the precious things in their hearts.

"Ha ha ha - that's really interesting."

A mage stood on the wall, looking at the countless fallen bodies and fighting figures below, and gave out a happy and proud laugh. Since the attack into clancia, the other side has been defending, making it difficult for them to start. Today, they are angry.

And just as he raised his staff and prepared to send out several fireballs to smash into the enemy's array, a shrill sound of breaking through the air was fleeting.

All of a sudden, his action stopped, his eyes looked at the half blade of his chest incredulously, warm blood fell from the surface of the axe, and its smooth blade reflected silver light in the fire light.

He fell down slowly. His proud face fell on the dusty and bloody wall. His body twitched and struggled. At last, he heard the cry of killing from afar.

Its voice is distant and desolate, and it is like an old lonely beast walking on the moon night.

Through the vast grasslands and borders, groups of armed Orc warriors finally arrived in clancia.

Facing the city which is about to fall, the chief of the city roars up to the sky. Then, under the command of his cry, the orcs in armor and with axes rush to the enemy.

This group of figures under the moon is like a black noisy ocean, and the sharp battle axe waving in it is like the reflection of the silver moon, which waves on this black ocean.

With broad feet, they stepped heavily into the mud and wetland. They crossed the woods, grasslands, roads and rivers, and rushed to the enemy line outside the city.

The Musketeers who used to shoot the soldiers in the city had to turn their guns around and attack the orc fighting group coming from the rear.

However, the orcs in the mountains were so vast that in the face of the sparse shooting, they rushed into the enemy's battle line with a clamour. With a heavy axe, they directly cut the black rock soldiers in half.

In the face of these tall orcs who need to look up to, watching their teammates die one by one in the battlefield, the black rock Garrison under the city is shocked and scared. Many recruits flee directly, and a few veterans retreat constantly, hoping to rely on the well and the wall to resist the attack of the other side.

The situation of fighting is also turning back at this moment.

"Damn it“

Standing on the well appendix, the high-level mage who supervised and assisted the battle gritted his teeth and spat out these two words.

"Send a signal and let the soldiers in the city return to defense." Although the heart is very unwilling, but now also had to do so.

"Yes." A mage apprentice stretched out his arm, and then a special magic missile rose into the sky. When it flew, it made a long whistling sound, and then it bloomed in the sky, burst out scarlet sparks, and crossed the night sky.

After seeing this signal, the black rock soldiers who are looting and wantonly cutting down in the city are very puzzled, and many people begin to complain.

"What the hell, what do these masters think?" A soldier was holding on to the crying woman he had just caught. He was angry.

"Whatever, let's make a profit first." Another soldier uses his halberd to break open the wooden box in the house, and then drags the scattered things in it, looking for valuable objects.

"Lao Tzu worked hard for them, not to find fault for himself, but to make a fortune." He tooted and then kicked over a clannish soldier who had died next to him and rummaged over him.

"Look at their armor. They don't have any money on them."

And just when the city was still unconscious, the battle outside the city became more and more fierce.

Huge fireballs emerged from the sky, then smashed into the enemy array under the control of the mage. At this point in the war, they can't save their magic.

But unfortunately, most of these Orc troops that can cross thousands of miles are elite. Several shamans shake their wooden sticks in the battle, and the fireballs in the sky break up. They disperse into scattered sparks in the air, leaving only a hot wind blowing towards the orcs.

At the foot of Jinglan, an orc chieftain who held up a huge sword yelled, heavily waved the broad sword in his hand, brought gusts of strong wind, and directly cut off the thick supporting feet of several of them.

The temporary war machine was slowly toppling in the creaking of teeth, and the top Musketeers spilled out of the night sky like dumplings, fell into the black enemy line below, and were chopped up by the Tomahawk.

"No!" A mage screamed in horror, ready to fly away from the battlefield, and then was hit by several flying axes, and fell from the city wall.

"No... don't come here." A Musketeer sat in a corner with a musket in his arms, aiming at a savage Orc rushing in front of him, terrified. But it was soon overwhelmed by the black tide.

Just before the black rock soldiers in the city were aware of it, groups of ORC reinforcements entered the city. Under the leadership of the leaders, they rushed into the tunnel and killed the black rock soldiers excitedly and high.

Compared with human beings, orcs are much bigger in physique. They are bloodthirsty and aggressive in nature. However, they have been trapped in the grassland for hundreds of years and have been suppressing their blood. However, they have been greatly inspired in this war.

Originally, many young orcs were slightly dissatisfied with joining clancia, but now after the outbreak of the war, their opposition gradually disappeared.

Instead of quietly farming and grazing, they are more eager to win glory, dignity and everything by fighting.

In the cold moonlight, groups of orcs from the grassland wantonly use their own brute force to defeat the enemies holding halberds and muskets until there are no more black rock soldiers in sight.
