Game of the World Tree - Chapter 239

239. Chapter 238 Siege

The Death Desert does not have sufficient supplies.

The 30,000 troops mobilized by the orcs usually consume a lot of money.

For this expedition, King Imush the Lionheart almost took out all his savings from decades of looting the human kingdom of Eris.

However, as long as the orcs can defeat the elves, everything will be worth it.

The Elf Forest is rich in products, and Imush believes that there is no problem in supporting 30,000 troops.

In the past, due to fear of human power, although the orcs have obtained nominal sovereignty, they did not dare to really extend their forces to the Elf Forest, which is far away from the Death Desert.

But if this war is won and the true god of the orcs is strengthened, then nothing will be a problem.

The contest between true gods is the essence of the battle between the major intelligent races in the Segos universe!

The war of faith is just an extension of the battle between true gods.

As for this attack, King Imush the Lionheart is still certain.

As the old enemy of the elves, the orcs knew the elves quite well. Although the orcs had almost lost the news of the Elf Forest in the past six months, with his experience, Yimsh could judge the strength of the elves.

He also studied the experience of the Rock Cave Tribe, but Yimsh believed that the direct cause of the destruction of the Rock Cave Tribe was the black dragon and the elves’ favored ones, rather than the thousand elves with low combat effectiveness!

Even if they could be resurrected!

How could they fight against the 30,000-strong army?

As for the black dragon and the favored ones, the orcs had already had a plan to deal with them!

In this war of faith, the elite army of the Orc King’s Court came out in full force and took advantage. Yimsh believed that they could win as long as they pushed forward.

The only thing to worry about was that the mysterious new god might become angry and attack the orc army regardless of his status.

However… that was already a battle at the level of true gods, which was not something Yimsh could consider.

After the Lionheart King gave an order, the orcs rested on the spot.

They had camped in the Dark Mountains for a night before, and they were full of energy. When the scouts had gathered enough information, they could launch a strong attack on the castle.

Three hours of rest and recuperation were enough.

The orc army stopped advancing and camped outside the maximum range of the Black Dragon Castle.

At the same time, King Imush the Lionheart also ordered the army to deploy their formation and show their strength to the elves in the castle!

He wanted to strike hard at the elves in the castle from the morale point of view!

After the orcs began to rest. The players finally saw the full picture of the enemy.

An army of 30,000 people was far more shocking than 3,000 people.

In particular, the physique of the orcs was almost a little bigger than that of the elves. They gathered together and surrounded ten terrifying beasts that looked difficult to mess with, which was even more intimidating.

However, although they were shocked by the scene of the army besieging the city, the players were more excited than fear.

The little thoughts of King Lionheart did not hit their morale.

On the contrary, seeing the orc army stopped in place, the players were not afraid, but became impatient:

“Why did they stop?”

“When will they come to fight?”

“Hey, we’ve been waiting all night, won’t the orcs get stuck?”

“Hey…if we don’t start, it will be dawn in reality, and I have to go to work at nine o’clock.”

On the city wall.

Looking at the players’ impatient expressions and listening to their complaints, the natural saint Alice and some of the native elves who volunteered to serve as logistics support all had wonderful expressions.

The Black Dragon Castle has a teleportation array, so the army is not afraid of besieging the city.

The longer the time is delayed, it should be a good thing for the elves, because the orcs who came on the expedition can’t afford it…

However, compared with the orcs besieging the city, the Chosen Ones are more looking forward to the battle between the two sides!

Not only that, their morale is so high that it’s almost bursting with water, as if what is coming is not a fierce battle, but a carnival.

The native elves can’t figure out why the Chosen Ones are so looking forward to the war…

Obviously… they are the defending party!

Alice had no doubt that if the gates had not been closed by Lord Zero, some of the Chosen Ones would have run out of the castle to cause trouble!

Apart from other things, from the mentality point of view, these guys… are almost war maniacs!

In fact, this is exactly the case.

No player thinks they will fail!

In their view, this time to resist the siege of the orcs, all they need to consider is who can kill more enemies in the siege.

This relaxed and happy atmosphere, as well as the inexplicably high morale, have also relieved the tension of the native elves who came to support.

The night of waiting did not make the players anxious.

But the three-hour confrontation after the appearance of the orc army made them more and more irritable.

The restless atmosphere spread on the city wall almost visibly, and all the players were waiting for the attack of the orcs.

The warrior players checked their equipment again and again, and the mages counted the mana-restoring potions they prepared again and again. Everyone looked eagerly to the south, expecting the arrival of experience points and contribution points…

“Why don’t you attack yet?”

Similar sighs were heard again and again in various places on the city wall.

…

These three hours were the longest three hours that the players had spent.

After a period of rest, the orcs were completely ready to attack, and the orc scouts who were exploring the way also returned to the camp.

“My king, this castle is an isolated castle! No other elves were found nearby, but… a large number of traces of magical beasts migrating in the direction of the Elf Forest were found.”

“Traces of magical beast migration?”

The Lionheart King Yimsh frowned.

“My king! This is normal! After those elves appeared in the Elf Forest, the magical beasts in the forest began to migrate. I heard… they were all driven away by the elves. It is rumored that they even eat meat! Those elves… are no longer the race that loves nature!”

said the orc from the cave tribe who escaped before.

“Eat meat?!”

King Imsh the Lionheart widened his eyes in surprise.

He and the chief high priest exchanged a glance and sneered:

“It seems… this mysterious evil god is really capable. He not only changed the elves’ beliefs, but also their habits!”

“After all, he took away the priesthood of that person. This evil god should be very afraid of that person.”

The chief high priest said lightly.

After hearing the high priest’s words, the Lionheart King Yimsh grinned:

“Humph, just in time! The elves were destroyed. All this is due to His Majesty the Father God and us orcs!”

After that, he raised his sword high:

“Pass the order down, prepare to attack the city!”

…

“Woo–“

A series of heavy horn sounds cut through the sky and echoed among the mountains…

The black army of orcs finally moved.

The orcs had no cavalry, all of them were infantry.

Of the 30,000 troops, 20,000 stayed in place as a reserve, and the 10,000 in the front were all dispatched, surrounded by five ferocious behemoths, and pressed towards the direction of the Black Dragon Castle.

After hearing the horn and seeing the movements of the orcs, the players who had been waiting anxiously on the city wall became excited:

“Here they come! They are coming!”

“Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle!”

For a moment, the city wall became lively again, and the entire Black Dragon Castle began to operate slowly like a huge war machine…

Ten thousand orcs, holding high their shields and weapons, surrounded the giant beasts like a tide and rushed towards the Black Dragon Castle on the hillside.

The long-range players gathered on the city wall, raised their bows and arrows, and aimed at the advancing orcs.

The elf archer is the profession with the longest attack range.

The effective range of an archer of the Black Iron level is about 300 meters, which is nearly ten times that of a mage of the same level.

Li Mu stood on the city wall, looking at the approaching orc army with a solemn expression.

When the orcs’ vanguard entered the 300-meter range, he raised his staff and shouted in the command channel:

“Shoot!”

As soon as the words fell, arrows flashing with the brilliance of skills formed a gorgeous rain of arrows, shooting out from the castle from a high position!

Seeing the arrows shot out, Imush, the Lionheart King who was leading the army forward, also shouted:

“Raise your shields!”

For a moment, the orcs raised their shields one after another.

Nearly a thousand arrows arrived in an instant, falling into the orcs’ formation like rain.

Most of the arrows were blocked by the shields raised by the orcs, but nearly a hundred unlucky orcs were pierced through the vitals by the stray arrows and fell to the ground screaming…

The five behemoths did not dodge or avoid the arrows, letting them fall on their bodies without any care.

Their bodies were full of arrows, but the heavy fat made them feel no pain at all.

The loss of a hundred people was just a drop in the bucket for the orcs…

Soon, the orcs’ counterattack arrived.

The Lionheart King Yimsh shouted again:

“Throw the spear!”

As soon as the words fell, nearly a thousand of the 10,000 orcs took out a two-meter-long spear from their backs, and then threw it towards the Black Dragon Castle at a command…

and the five behemoths raised five terrifying half-meter-thick spears and threw them at the castle. The

orcs were very strong, and the two-meter-long spears produced terrifying penetrating power under their throwing, and flew towards the castle.

The giant spears of the behemoths were like five artillery shells, shot out with a whistling wind.

“Not good! Hide!”

Seeing the rain of spears flying over, the players changed color and hurriedly dodged.

The defense core of the Black Dragon Castle has been opened, and the spears are concentrated on the castle, causing a faint wave of magic, but it did not cause any damage to the castle.

However, many players on the city wall were unable to dodge and were pierced by the flying spears, dying on the spot…

What was even more terrifying was the terrifying spears of the Behemoth.

They actually penetrated the defensive magic of the city wall and stabbed into the wall…

If the city wall had not been reinforced by the defensive magic, I’m afraid a big hole would have been pierced on the spot.

In addition, a giant spear pierced through the tower on the city wall, smashed the tower to pieces, and tore the two archer players on the tower into pieces!

Blood rained down, and for a moment, the players on the city wall changed their colors and were actually a little confused.

Most of them were still third-test players who had not experienced such scenes.

War is cruel and terrible.

When there was no battle, they still had great ambitions, but once the battle really started, the players truly experienced the cruelty of this extremely realistic war…

However, their morale was not affected.

Although they were frightened by this bloody scene, for the players, the game was still a game after all.

Without the threat of death, it was just an exciting entertainment.

After the initial panic, under the command of Li Mu and the shapeshifter Ji Gang, the long-range players continued to shoot arrows at the orc army.

Among the orcs, there were also archers who advanced and counterattacked at the same time.

For a time, the entire battlefield was full of flying arrows…
