Chapter 128: Church Incident (1/2)
Meanwhile, the city is attacked by Orcs from all sides.
They're coming towards them like a pack of crazed animals, they keep on rushing forward without even glancing at their fallen comrades.
On Adhara's side, the Orcs are coming fast and they are numbering around 90 near 100.
She cast Fire Schimitars to attack the Orc from far away, it is effective because many Orcs got charred and died.
The Fire Schimitars is different this time, it is purple in color and it is emitting more threatening and dense energy than before.
BOOM!
It exploded killing many Orcs in its process, Fire Elementalist like Adhara is very effective in these kinds of fight.
Because of entering early rank four, these Orcs didn't stand a chance.
There is a couple of military personnel beside her, they are firing their guns trying desperately to stave off the Orcs.
”At this rate, we can hold them off!”, one of the military personnel said.
He saw how Adhara killed many of them with her spells, her spells alone can potentially hold onto this side of the wall.
'I need to hurry, the east side is only guarded by the military and there's also Kyran', Adhara thought.
She fires another barrage of Fire Schimitars when suddenly, ”Huakhh!”
Adhara suddenly spat a mouthful of blood, it shocked the other military personnel. Even Adhara herself was shocked.
'What happened? Did I exhaust myself?', she thought in confusion.
She never exhausts her mana when using Fire Schimitars spell, this is the first time she experiences this kind of situation.
The others started to shoot at the Orcs wildly,
The Orcs already started to pound on the wall barricade, the metallic wall started to dent under the many Orcs pounding.
'It's because of my new element, I still haven't accustomed to using it yet', Adhara thought while gritting her teeth.
CLAP!
She then clasps her hands making a loud clapping sound, a big circle of fire appeared on the ground beneath the rampaging Orcs.
Blood started to flow down her mouths, she gritted her teeth and chanted, ”Purple Fire Magic, Ring of Fire!”
BOOM!!
The ground cracked as it explodes with purple fire,
GRAHH!!
ROAR!!
Many Orcs got charred by the purple flame, the purple flame instantly vaporized tens of Orcs that are pounding on the wall.
The effect is devastating, but it also comes with a cost.
Cough!!
Adhara fell down to her knees after using that spell, she coughs blood as her mana got exhausted.
”Are you okay? Medic! Come here!”, one of the military personnel shouted.
They saw Adhara charred many Orcs reducing their number greatly but she's also injured, one woman went to Adhara and checked her condition.
”Her physical is normal, it's internal damage. I think she exhausted her mana”, the woman said.
All of the injuries caused by mana can't be healed by normal people, normal people can't even see or sense mana so it's logical for them to not be able to do anything to treat Adhara.
Roar!!
The remaining Orcs roared in anger, seeing their fallen comrades burnt bodies makes them go berserk.
Adhara got pulled to the back, she needs time to recover.
The military personnel started firing at the Orcs again, there are still about twentyish Orcs remaining and the wall will not last long.
When suddenly,
ROAR!!
A loud deafening roar was heard as the ground tremble,
A big Orcs twice the size of the others appeared, he wears an animal's hide with gruesome and hideous fangs coming out of his mouth.
Just from a glance, all of the others knew that this Orc is stronger.
After roaring menacingly, it then started running towards the wall barricade with its heavy steps.
Seeing this, the military changes target and fires at the big burly Orc that is running towards the wall. He runs like a tank knocking any bullets or even Orcs that caught on his way.
BOOM!!
The Orcs busted through the weakened wall, it creates a gaping hole in the wall.
All of the military on the north wall widened their eyes in surprise, one of them then report to Troy with their radio transmitter, ”Sir Troy, the north wall is breached. I repeat the north wall is breached”
Hearing the loud crashing sound, Adhara stands up strugglingly.
She looks at the Orcs pouring inside the city while gritting her teeth, 'Rex hurry! The city is breached'
~
Meanwhile,
Kyran is defending on the west wall, the Orcs here are fewer than the north wall so he decided to push through the Orcs.
He accompanied by three military personnel went out of the city and confront the Orc head-on.
BAM!!
Kyran punched an Orc sending it crashing away,
He then takes an ax dropped on the ground before he charges forward with the military personnel.
Kyran felt that his body can react to almost any attacks from the Orcs, he held the ax as if he's meant to be in a fight.
Three Orcs approach him, they all growl with axes in their hands.
Kyran saw this, his body moves automatically as he dodges all of their attacks before he cleaves them with his ax.
ROAR!!
The ax cut through the Orcs limbs, they growl in pain before the military kills them.
The battle is in their favor, many of the Orcs got injured by Kyran before the military gives the Orcs the final blow.
It was a good first experience for Kyran when suddenly,
BOOM!
A deafening sound was heard from afar, it comes from the north wall, 'Adhara? Did her side of the wall got breached?'
Fearing that Adhara is in danger, Kyran picks up his pace as he fights the Orcs more violently.
On Adhara's side, the Orcs manage to breach the wall.
The big Orc shakes his head after busting through the wall, he then raises his ax before he charges forwards followed by the other Orcs.
ROAR!!
Troy got the information that the north wall is breached, ”Men! Prepare to defend the city hall!”
10 military personnel gets in their position, the citizens already squeezed inside the city hall.
The military hide behind a brick wall that they built for their last defense, it's only half done because they lack resources but it's still decent enough.
The sound of the Orc marching can be heard, it makes the surrounding rocks tremble.
”READY!!”
From the end of their vision, they saw a big Orc ransacking everything he meets before his eyes saw Troy and the other military personnel ready to fire them.
ROAR!!
The big Orc roared menacingly, he then charges towards Troy followed by other Orcs.
”FIRE!!”
BOOM!!
All of the military personnel empty their magazines, they rain fire to the Orcs with their new enhanced bullet.
The fire managed to stop them on their tracks,
Even the big Orc stopped as he felt the bullet hurt him, his eyes turns red as he looks at the military personnel firing at them.
He then raises his feet and stomps the ground hard,
BOOM!!
The ground cracked all the way to the brick wall where the military personnel is firing, it caught them off guard as the crack destroyed the brick wall.
”AAAHH!!”
Many of the military personnel got flung away,
Their weapons broke because of the debris thrown at them, even Troy slipped and fall because of the stomp.
Seeing that he manage to destroy the military lineup, the Orc resume their charge.
Troy looks at the coming Orc helplessly, their lines of defense are broken and it looks like there is no hope for their survival.
