Game of the World Tree - Chapter 535

535. Chapter 533 Shoot——!

The bitter cold wind rustled the flags, and the loud horns resounded throughout the battlefield.

In the vast desert, the orcs lined up in neat formations, roaring, and approached the players’ camps.

The players stood on the city wall, looking at the almost endless army in the distance with shocked expressions.

Although they have participated in many battles of all sizes, and there are players who have experienced battles of 100,000 scales, at this moment, looking at the tight formation of the orcs from afar, everyone still couldn’t help but get excited.

Of course, the unique vicissitudes of the desert map, “the desert smoke is straight, the long river is setting and the sun is round”, coupled with the passionate background music of the battlefield channel, is also one of the reasons for the surge of players’ adrenaline…

Witnessing this scene, many people have an indescribable pride in their hearts.

The so-called epic feeling, is it just like this?

“Hiss… Although the battles these days have made my blood boil, compared with today’s scene, it’s nothing!”

“After all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops… Apart from other things, this is rare even in the real ancient times, right?”

“A huge crowd… No… I think the word “huge crowd” can’t describe this scene…”

“It’s exciting… Just this scene, the screenshots are enough for me to brag about it online!”

“The war mechanism of this game… I want to blow it up!”

The players stood on the city wall, excited.

Of course, they didn’t stop their actions.

The tank warrior players put on heavy armor and stood at the front of the city wall.

The archer players raised their bows and magic guns and aimed at the army outside the city.

The mage players and druid players began to chant the ups and downs of the spell, attaching one buff magic to the players and the city wall.

On the high platform of the earth wall, the selected players were busy, performing the final operations around the long-range equipment.

They put the ammunition they had prepared long ago into the catapult and crossbow cart, and prepared to launch it.

Jiang Shang was one of them.

He stood on a high platform, not very skilled in controlling the huge crossbow cart, and injected his magic power into the magic stone embedded on the crossbow cart.

At the same time, while operating, he couldn’t help complaining:

“How come I, a melee druid specializing in wildness, became a crossbow operator?”

“Of course it’s because you are a silver spellcaster with high magic power!”

His good friend Akai answered beside him.

“That’s right.”

Jiang Shang scratched his head.

This kind of magic-modified large-scale equipment is still quite magic-consuming to operate.

Although archer players have various skill bonuses and can aim more accurately when attacking, they are not as durable as spellcasters when controlling magic-modified catapults and crossbow carts.

Moreover, since the power of the magic-modified equipment relies heavily on magic power, their original skills that enhance attack efficiency have also been compared.

For this kind of big guy, stacking magic power is enough, and the higher the magic power, the greater the power.

So… As a silver-class druid, Jiang Shang was naturally forced to do hard labor.

However, although Jiang Shang complained, he was also very happy in his heart.

Because the battles in the past few days have proved that if this kind of large equipment is operated properly, it is definitely the best weapon for scoring!

“By the way, have the [Eagle Eye] skill and [Heart Arrow] skill been exchanged?”

Looking at his friend touching the crossbow with a silly smile, Akai rolled his eyes and asked again.

Jiang Shang nodded:

“Don’t worry, such an important skill has been exchanged a long time ago. I don’t want to become a little salty cat.”

[Eagle Eye] and [Heart Arrow] are both auxiliary magic for the archer profession, which can improve accuracy and allow players to shoot more accurately.

Although Jiang Shang is not an archer profession, since it is magic, he can also exchange it, but it is not as powerful as the archer player when using it.

“Be careful later. I guess after the fight, our side will definitely be concentrated.”

Looking at the orc army getting closer and closer in the distance, Jiang Shang said.

“Don’t worry! I’ve put on the thickest armor. You should be careful not to have too much fun and get shot to death by arrows.”

Akai showed off his shiny breastplate, chuckled twice, and replied.

Jiang Shang nodded and turned his gaze to the outside of the city wall again.

Rhythmic and powerful footsteps came, and the orc army was closer.

Through the Eagle Eye skill, he could already see the hideous heads and sharp fangs of the orc warriors in the front row.

Unlike the orcs that the players had fought before, these orcs were obviously better equipped, especially those in the front.

They were like tank warrior players, wearing heavy armor and looking majestic.

Behind these heavily armored orc warriors, the main army was also fully armed, and they were completely different from the incompletely equipped miscellaneous troops in the orc tribe.

There is no doubt that this is the real elite force of the orcs.

However, Jiang Shang’s eyes quickly passed over these orcs and focused on the huge beasts surrounded by the orcs.

Behemoths.

These beasts, which look like hippos, have fangs, human ears and lion tails, are extremely tall, ten meters tall, and there are more than a hundred of them.

They push the siege tower, wearing silver armor, which is a brand new custom armor, suspected to be made by the Sauron Chamber of Commerce.

Not only that, each of them has the strength of silver and is powerful.

Jiang Shang’s eyes are slightly stern.

These big guys… are the biggest threat to the players in this battle.

Due to time constraints, the players did not build the city wall to more than ten meters.

If these guys get close to the city wall, it will be difficult to deal with…

Not only that, these guys are extremely powerful, and each beast has a spear that can be projected behind it, and those spears are almost a fatal threat to the players’ dragon partners!

With these beasts, at least the players can’t use the dragon “bomber” safely.

However, the players were not without countermeasures.

The crossbow cart placed on the high platform was mainly aimed at these giant beasts!

Thinking of this, Jiang Shang controlled the crossbow cart and aimed at one of them.

Closer, the orcs are getting closer.

Gradually, the orcs in the front have entered the range of 500 meters outside the city.

This is already the effective range of catapults and crossbows.

The players held their breath, their expressions became more excited, and their hands holding their weapons were trembling slightly.

At this moment, the background music on the battlefield suddenly changed…

The passionate BGM instantly changed to fierce drums and horns, like an army fighting on the battlefield.

At the same time, the almost roaring voice of the commander-in-chief Li Mu also resounded throughout the battlefield channel:

“Catapults-fire!”

With his order, the catapults placed on the high platform of the earth wall and in the tower of the camp launched out…

The ammunition dragging magic flames was thrown up like a meteorite, drawing parabolas in the blue sky, whistling away with black tail smoke, and smashing into the battlefield!

Rumbling noises came, and each loud noise meant that a “ammunition” fell to the ground and exploded.

Some fell in front of the orcs, and some fell in the orcs’ ranks.

Flames and hot iron stones flew everywhere, and huge pits with black smoke were smashed on the ground.

The orcs affected let out a series of screams…

They were either turned into ashes in the explosion and flames, or barely saved their lives but were a bloody mess.

Almost instantly, there was a commotion in the orcs’ formation.

The terrifying killing power of this large-scale machine, like magic, is often the most frightening.

However, the panic of the orcs only lasted for a few seconds.

The sound of horns came from behind the orcs, and they gradually regained their composure.

Then, they continued to maintain the same rhythm and approached the player’s “fortress”.

The player’s side continued to use the catapult to throw magic stone ammunition. From a distance, it looked like a rain of meteorites falling from the sky, which was extremely spectacular.

However, Jiang Shang did not move.

All the ballistae did not move.

Unlike the catapult, the ballista relied on the penetrating power brought by the huge force and magic.

Although the Behemoths have entered the effective range, considering their heavy armor and fat, this distance is far from enough!

Wait a little longer…

Soon… the Orcs entered the range of 300 meters.

This is already the effective range of bows and magic guns.

Another loud horn came from the Orcs’ formation, and then the archers in the Orcs’ army raised their longbows high and lit the arrows in their hands.

Noticing the actions of the Orcs, Li Mu’s roar also rang out again in the battlefield channel:

“Priests, open defense! Archers, get ready!”

With his order, the priest players who had been prepared stood in the fixed position of the hexagram earth wall and chanted one after another.

As they chanted, a golden beam of light shot up from the goddess statue enshrined in the center of the camp, turning into a translucent energy shield, buckled above the camp. Divine

magic defense barrier.

However, if you look closely, you will find that this magic defense barrier is not perfect, and its color is much lighter than that of Sandstorm City…

This is also normal, after all, it was made temporarily by the players.

“Woo–“

The sound of the horn came from the direction of the Orcs again.

At the command, their archers shot arrows in the direction of the player’s fortress.

No less than 50,000 Orc archers fired at the same time, and countless arrows suddenly turned into a dense rain of arrows, with flames, shooting into the player’s camp!

As the rain of arrows fell, the magic defense barrier suddenly flickered with waves…

When hitting the magic defense barrier, most of the arrows extinguished the flames under the glory of the magic, and even the kinetic energy was almost exhausted. Only a few arrows broke through the barrier and entered the camp.

Suddenly, some tents were set on fire.

There was a faint commotion in the camp.

At the same time, Li Mu also roared in the battlefield channel:

“Mage, hurry up and put out the fire! Archers, pay attention – shoot!” As

soon as the voice fell, the archer players also shot their bows and arrows and pulled the triggers of their magic guns.

With the roar, the arrows and elemental bullets flashing with the brilliance of skills also turned into a dazzling rain of light.

The former fell into the position of the orcs like raindrops, while the latter formed straight rays of light, pouring down from the earth wall…

“Woo -“

The sound of the horn came from the orc army again.

The soldiers raised their round shields and held them above their heads.

The players’ rain of arrows and elemental bullets fell, and a series of crackling sounds came.

The number of archer players is close to 40,000, and the average strength is obviously higher than that of the orcs.

Even if the orcs are well prepared, there are still many arrows and elemental bullets that penetrate the defense.

On the battlefield, there are screams again, and orcs fall everywhere.

Even the entire formation is faintly scattered for a moment.

Of course, it was only a moment.

There were too many orcs.

And the ones dispatched this time were absolutely elite.

With the long sound of the horn, the orcs quickened their pace and rushed towards the player’s fortress.

The archers on both sides were still shooting.

The gorgeous rain of arrows intertwined together, which was extremely spectacular.

As the main force of the siege, the Behemoths also entered the range of 150 meters from the earth wall!

Looking at the huge body of the Behemoth, Jiang Shang held his breath.

He felt his heart pounding and the blood in his body was boiling.

Then, the Behemoths drew out the spears behind them and aimed them at the earth wall. To

be more precise, they were aimed at the high platforms on the earth wall.

The next second, they threw the spears in their hands.

The spears were extremely fast and shot into the player’s position in an instant.

However, they were stabbed on an invisible barrier, and they could no longer move forward, and finally fell to the ground…

If you look from the sky, you will find that the hexagram earth wall built by the players is emitting a bright glow, and a translucent magic shield appears on each high platform.

Five-ring magic [Wind Shield].

At the beginning of the battle, the players took into account the terrible throwing ability of the Behemoth in the Orc army, and improved the defense.

The earth wall of the player camp was not built in the shape of a hexagram for the sake of beauty.

In fact, this is a huge magic circle designed by the Cuckoo Bird, and its function is to generate a defensive magic on each high platform of the earth wall to protect the precious large equipment.

The effect is still good.

Of course, the magic stone consumed is also terrible.

And then, Li Mu’s voice sounded again in the battlefield channel:

“Giant crossbow! Target the Behemoth! Shoot!”

Jiang Shang, who had been prepared for a long time, looked serious.

He activated the magic power he injected into the crossbow cart.

The bright light flowed through the magic lines on the bed crossbow, and finally lit up the giant spear engraved with the magic circle.

Then, Jiang Shang pulled the trigger of the crossbow.

“Come on… babies!”

He licked the corner of his mouth.

With the whistling sound of the wind, the crossbow shot out a five-meter-long spear.

The spear flashed with the brilliance of the skill and shot at the Behemoth he aimed at.

There were more than 20 crossbows on the side of the earth wall facing the Orc army.

More than 20 terrifying spears were shot out, and finally a small half hit the target.

With the shrill participation, four or five of the Behemoths that were hit were immediately severely injured, and they saw that they had completely lost their combat effectiveness.

However, the Behemoths that had escaped by chance roared and quickened their pace.

They pushed the siege tower and rushed to the bottom of the city wall in the rain of arrows from the players.

The siege tower was in place.

The Orc soldiers roared and entered the siege tower, ready to climb the city wall.

Close combat… is about to begin.

However, Li Mu’s voice rang out again on the battlefield channel:

“Attention, Mage Group!”

“Release – Explosion Magic!”

The next second, terrible magic fluctuations began to gather under the city…

“Boom…”

Accompanied by the laughter of the mage players, the city fell into a sea of fire.

Recommended book: “We Wild Monsters Don’t Want to Die”, the fourth disaster story, the protagonist is the Black Dragon Lord, 30,000 words per day.

I have recommended it once before, and now it is on the shelves, I will recommend it again. There is a link in the remarks.

PS1: As you can see… I didn’t update again tonight, hahaha… Don’t hit me… I’m afraid of pain (holding my head)

But; I won’t forget it, it’s just that the novel is so good… Well, I’m about to finish it, and there are still more than 100,000 words to go.

Just treat it as a recharge 23333

PS2: I’m actually not satisfied with the writing of this chapter. It feels like a running account, not enough foreshadowing, and no sense of expectation and rhythm. Well… This is also my biggest problem, I will pay attention to it in the future.

PS3: I went through the previous plot and found that the war was a bit intensive. I guess everyone is also tired of reading it. Later, I will adjust it and diversify the plot development.

PS4: The behind-the-scenes player flow is actually quite difficult to write in the middle and late stages. I’m also not very good at it. It’s almost 1.5 million words. The more I write, the more I feel that I have many problems, but everyone has been supporting me, which really touched me. I will work hard to think about the plot, improve the writing method, and describe a wonderful story for everyone!

Thank you all, I love you guys (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
