Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 483: Fierce fighting

"Quick, quick, quick!"

A group of neatly-dressed soldiers rushed down the street at the urging of the officer. The ups and downs of armor plates collided with the sound of metal frames. These soldiers had firm eyes and were already prepared for this moment.

With the arrival of the orc army, the entire Dragon Gate defense line seemed to be activated. A large number of defenders in the city began to mobilize. Teams of soldiers were constantly shuttled through the streets and were transferred to various sections of the defense line.

Including the civilians transporting supplies, there are millions of people moving at the same time on the defense line. Because it is a military town, there are not many civilians in all the cities on the front line of Longxiguan, and most of them serve the military. There was no chaos in the operation of Shi's army, and all arrangements were fairly orderly.

Wolf smoke was rising from all the defense lines outside the city. The orcs' attack was as fierce as expected. After a simple test, they suddenly pressed on the army and started a fierce attack, and launched an attack on the entire Longxing Pass. During the attack, even Fanglongscale Castle on the north road encountered a tentative attack from the orcs.

……

……

Northern Line

Dragon Scale Castle

It is a large fortress next to the northern dense forest. If the human army wanted to infiltrate the orcs in the past, it would have to start from the Dragon Scale Castle and enter the northern dense forest.

The last time the human army attacked the orcs from Dragon Scale Castle was when Richard led the Northern Route Army to attack. After the main force on the central line was defeated, Richard ordered the Northern Route Army to withdraw from the previously captured Yandong Mountain and retreat to the front line of Longlin Castle.

Nothing else. Although the strategic location of Yandong Mountain is important, it also depends on the overall form. If the Northern Route Army sticks to the front line of Yandong Mountain and Longxing Pass collapses in other directions, they will be trapped in the dense forest, so Li To be on the safe side, the police had to shrink their military strength.

At this time, in addition to some of the original troops on the Northern Front, plus the withdrawn Northern Route Army, there were also nearly 200,000 troops stationed there. This seemed like a large number of troops, but in fact they were spread across the hundreds of miles of Northern Front defense. It still seems a bit weak, after all, the orcs rarely attack from the northern front.

But this time is different. The orc army is very strong this time. Because they no longer have to guard against the centaurs behind them, the orcs have mobilized almost all their standing troops. And because this battle is a battle involving the survival of the two tribes, the orcs also They were ruthless and ignored the normal domestic production order to massively expand the army. Now the number of troops that can be put into the attack has reached two million, and this number is still growing.

The configuration of the Orcs' northern offensive force is also very high. It was led by Sean, the protector warrior who was stationed in Wastestone City. It has more than a dozen legions that crossed the northern dense forest and reoccupied key points such as Yandong Mountain and Langshou Village. A tentative attack on Dragon Scale Castle began.

It stands to reason that an army of more than 200,000 orcs, or the elite guards of the orcs, crossed the northern dense forest regardless of logistical consumption, and attacked Dragonscale Castle, a fortress where a legion is usually stationed. It is not difficult, but Sean led The army encountered trouble at the beginning.

"Kill!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

"Ah!"

It was not only the 100,000 Northern Route Army troops that retreated to the northern front, but almost all of Richard's troops also retreated to the northern front. The sky-level combat power alone was on hand on the northern route, and even more Not to mention that the combat power of the system soldiers is not weak. In addition to a legion of human soldiers stationed in the Dragon Scale Castle that Sean tentatively attacked, there are also more than 200 Crusaders and a larger number of phantom shooters stationed. The commander is even more powerful general like Gru who has gained a fierce reputation on the continent of Erathia.

The attacking orcs were pushing ladders and shield carts towards Dragon Scale Castle. Sean sent an entire flag regiment of more than 5,000 people to attack at once.

But just on the road close to the city wall, they suffered extremely heavy casualties. These phantom archers are not so easy to dispatch as ordinary crossbowmen. The arrows they shoot are all attached with fighting spirit and can break armor. The ability is extremely strong, and those heavy armors that can withstand ordinary arrows are easily broken by the sharp arrows of the phantom archer. Coupled with their accurate shooting skills, some of the shield vehicles at the front even suffered so many casualties that they could not even push the vehicles.

This level of long-range strikes even caused the attacking team to hesitate. Some shield vehicles that still had a large number of people left and could still continue to move did not dare to move forward, but waited to see the follow-up friendly forces. .

"These human armies are really evil. No wonder they were able to break through Cave Mountain so quickly and make trouble near the royal capital."

As a protector of the country and the senior commander of the Orc Kingdom, Sean naturally has a certain understanding of the extremely powerful army led by Richard. Now that army has obviously retreated to the northern line of Longxing Pass. Among the defense lines, Dragon Scale Castle is currently blocking his army.

"Order the team to retreat first and stop attacking."

"Yes, General Sean!"

The orcs' first attack on Dragon Scale Castle did not even touch the city wall. They left hundreds of corpses and retreated without even having time to clean up the corpses.

Faced with the long-range output combination of phantom shooters and magic mages on the city, Sean would not plan to continue the attack until he built a large number of siege equipment.

"What are you doing!"

On the other side, Talis, who had been hiding in the diagonal north direction of the battlefield, sighed in annoyance as he watched the orc army retreat and Gru did not order her to attack.

Taris has been hiding around the battlefield with a mixed cavalry composed of champion knights and unicorn holy beasts. Because the team is not large, they are not afraid of being discovered by the orcs. It is just her team that Gru is prepared to use in key situations. At that time, a tentative attack certainly gave him no chance to play.

Sir M'rak, Elena and others also led their teams to lurk around the battlefield. Only Gru was left alone with some people to guard the Dragonscale Castle. Judging from Gru's arrangement, he did not intend to hold on. Instead, he looked like he was preparing to eat the other person.

Gru and the heroes who followed the Northern Route Army have not been able to fight with Richard all the time, and have fallen behind a lot in experience. Gru has never been a hero willing to lag behind others, Moriel and Natalie To gain experience by following Richard, he would plan to attack this 200,000 orc army.

"Let all the troops be calm and calm. The soldiers of the Northern Route Army brought by Elena should not be too impatient to let the orcs notice."

"Yes, sir!"

…

…

In the main city of Longxingguan, Richard led Natalie and Moriel on a street full of soldiers.

"My lord!"

"My lord!"

When Richard walks on the street, most of the soldiers passing by will give him a simple greeting. Although these soldiers may not all know him, his luxurious armor alone can speak for itself.

At the beginning of the war, Richard was no longer as leisurely as before. He gathered the Holy Dragon, the remaining Dragon Archangels and other high-level troops near the school grounds outside the meeting hall, ready to be dispatched at any time. He himself also brought his subordinates The two warriors headed to the council chamber.

"Lord Ross."

"Master Richard is here."

"Sit!"

Richard and Ross had equal status, and both parties behaved quite casually. As soon as Richard came in, he sat in the front seat on the left hand side.

“The orcs are coming with ferocity this time. In the past, the orcs only attacked from the main gate of Dragon Breathing Pass in the middle. This time, the orcs launched attacks from three directions, from Nanwang City in the south to Dragon Scale Castle in the north. Attacked by orcs."

Duke Ross’s words were somewhat solemn. The fact that the orcs dared to carry out so many attacks not only showed that the orcs had enough troops, but also showed that the orcs were determined. Even the northern front, which consumes the most materials, did not hesitate to invest a large amount of troops. This It's a real battle of life and death.

"Taize played very well in defense today. The orcs didn't take any advantage. The person recommended by Lord Richard is indeed extraordinary."

"General Taize is indeed very good at commanding defensive operations."

Richard is not modest either. If even Taigang Plate's defense has problems, then there won't be many people on this continent who know how to fight defensively.

"It's just that the White Dragon hasn't been dispatched yet, but according to the current attack rhythm of the orcs, I'm afraid the White Dragon will be dispatched soon."

"You can only do your best..."

"Fortunately, Sir Richard provided the divine crossbow. During this period, the craftsmen stepped up their production, and the ground army finally had a chance to fight against the giant dragon."

"This is how it should be."

There are no less than a thousand craftsmen in Longxiguan who build war equipment. With the divine crossbow technology provided, more than 300 divine crossbows have been deployed in Longxiguan. The power of these divine crossbows is stronger than It's a crossbow, but it's weaker than the dragon-hunting crossbow of the orcs. It's still somewhat effective when used against the white dragon, the weakest among the dragons.

"I am not too worried about the orcs attacking the southern front. I have sent troops from the southern front before. Nanwang City has sufficient troops. My Orc Legion is also stationed in Nanwang City. As long as there is no White Dragon participating in the battle, the southern front will It shouldn’t be a big problem.”

"I'm still more worried about the northern front. According to intelligence, the Orc Guards Corps appeared on the northern front, and they mobilized 200,000 troops regardless of logistical consumption. The northern front has always been weak, and I plan to mobilize a portion of the Western Border Army. Go north to support, otherwise if there is a problem on the north road, the entire dragon defense line will be meaningless."

"This..."

Richard's expression suddenly became a little strange after hearing Ross's concern about the northern line. With the main force of the orcs concentrated on the middle line, I am afraid that the northern line is the most stable place. With an army of 200,000 orcs, facing the numbers A large human army would definitely have a crushing advantage, but it would be different if there were thousands of system troops and several system heroes in these human armies. The orcs would not be able to gain favor by being designated on the northern front.

"Lord Ross, there is no need to worry about the northern front. The Western Army should stay here."

"But the troops on the northern front are really weak."

"Don't worry, Lord Ross, the elites in the Northern Route Army will be no worse than the Orc Legion. I guarantee that the Northern Route will be flawless."

"Okay!"

Seeing that Richard was so determined, Ross temporarily gave up the idea of ​​sending troops to support him. After all, he only had this little mobile power at his disposal, so it would be better if he could use it later.

"Now that part of the orc army in the middle has captured part of a section of the defense line, General Taize took the initiative to relax a little of the defense line and let in part of the orc army."

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Just as Richard and Ross were studying the movements of the army, a distant roar made them both raise their heads at the same time.

The orcs used the white dragon so quickly...
