Chapter 278 (1/2)

The horde of orcs stopped hundreds of meters behind the sea of fire, and there were tens of thousands of them.

The sea of fire burned for half an hour, and finally stopped. The ground outside the city was sunken for three or four meters. It was pitch black. With a little spark, it was hard to tell which part was soil and which part was corpse. Even the sharp wooden piles were burnt to coke.

The disgusting smell of scorch filled the air. With the rolling heat wave, the sweat of the soldiers around Yan Chong kept dripping. However, they were still wearing thick armor, holding long knives and staring at the front attentively.

Yan chongyun protects the body and vigorous Qi to isolate the discomfort. With his superb manipulation skills, he filters the surrounding air and plays the role of a gas mask.

As the fire went out, the orcs in the opposite side became agitated again, and the horn sounded again. All of a sudden, they were full of fighting spirit, and their eyes became crazy again.

They urged the wolf under their bodies to jump into the pit and charged again towards the stone pestle.

The hundreds of compatriots who died before seemed insignificant to them. Yan Chong sighed in his heart that although the soldiers of the Maka Empire were very cold-blooded and could watch thousands of refugees die, they were already very human compared with the orcs.

In ancient China, there is a saying that ”benevolence does not lead the army”. In the face of such cruel and cruel orcs, perhaps reason is greater than sensibility to be their opponent.

With the approaching of the orcs, the captain of the soldiers on the stone heap began to command, and a group of archers with bows and arrows came to the stone pestle and shot arrows at each other.

At the same time, a group of mages also began to recite incantations, ready to release fireball.

Mages are relatively scarce resources in the army, because both spiritual strength and physical strength can be cultivated. Even if their qualifications are not good, as long as there are enough resources, they can be hard piled up. However, mages need not only spiritual strength, but also higher intelligence and certain charm.

Intelligence attribute is difficult to improve, and charm is more innate, so mages are always the strategic resources of the army, can not be easily sacrificed.

After the release of fireball, the mages retreated to the back and were heavily protected by the soldiers. With the current incomplete stone pestle, it was difficult to prevent the orcs from attacking.

Facing the attack of the soldiers in Xiaguang City, the orcs suddenly changed their formation and began to approach each other. They took out a piece of iron rope and wrapped it on their right companions. Then they all raised their big shields in their hands.

The arrows still couldn't hurt them, but the fireball fell on the shield. Because the orcs were connected by iron cables and formed a stable whole, they didn't blow their formation apart.

Occasionally, a few unlucky ones were blown apart because they didn't block the falling point of fireballs, but then they were abandoned by their companions and trampled by the giant wolves behind them.

The soldiers standing on the stone pile were nervous. They had thought that the orcs were very fierce. Under the premise of sacrificing some compatriots unnecessarily, Xiaguang city might be broken.

But what they didn't expect was that the orcs learned how to be smart. Just because hundreds of people were killed in the previous trap, they had to accept a hard and hard fight.

At the present distance, the mages dare not use magic any more. Otherwise, even if one is killed by the orcs, it will be a great loss.
