The Blood Flame Wolf raided the Sighing Valley, officially opening the prelude to the war between the two tribes.
When the news of the fall of the Sighing Valley came, Prince Hobbs and the generals of each legion were discussing in the big tent.
The news caused an uproar in the camp. Perhaps the purpose of the orcs' war was the Sighing Valley. Others did not know what was in the Sighing Valley, but Prince Hobbs and Into knew it clearly, otherwise the kingdom would not have placed a legion on one side of the valley for a long time and did not participate in the war when the orcs invaded in large numbers.
Prince Hobbs originally hoped that the Frost Thunder Legion could contain part of the orcs' forces on the flank, but now the Frost Thunder Legion may not be able to protect itself. It would be difficult for the Frost Thunder and half of the disabled Knights of Light to resist the offensive of the Blood Flame Wolf's 200,000 orcs.
The Snow Wind Legion would never be able to send a single soldier to support the Frost Thunder Legion. The only thing they could count on might be the Church of Light, because the Sighing Valley was not just about the kingdom's land, but also about the church's taboo seal.
At this moment, a long horn sounded outside the city.
The lieutenant hurriedly ran into the big tent, "Report to the legion commander, the orc army is leaving the camp to prepare for the siege!"
Prince Hobbes smiled coldly, "Sure enough, generals, follow me to the top of the city to fight. The glory lost by the Knights of Light in the Sighing Canyon, we will regain it under the Red Rock City today."
Outside the Red Rock City, teams of orc warriors have already lined up, and a huge square formation of one thousand people has been lined up. The battle formation alone stretches for more than ten miles.
The sound of war drums sounded, and the orc square formation began to advance forward to the beat of the drums. The siege officially began!
The vanguard of the orc siege was the orc warriors from several tribes such as the Bull Head, the Barbarian Elephant, and the Rhino Armor. The warriors of these tribes are naturally tall and have amazing self-defense. They are also wearing heavy armor and holding huge shields. Many orc priests appeared on the battlefield, blessing them with defensive spells such as "fossil skin" and "totem protection", making these warriors into impenetrable mobile armor.
Behind the vanguard warriors are many siege vehicles, battering rams, catapults and other siege equipment. After so many years of war with the human race, the orcs have gradually formed their own set of coping tactics in siege.
After the siege troops are the orc warriors of the magic ape tribe, leopard tribe, wolf tribe and other tribes. These warriors are agile and are the main force for climbing and attacking the city walls.
Then there are snake archers, centaur javelin soldiers and other long-range tribal warriors, who are responsible for providing fire cover and suppression for the siege troops under the city.
The orc army is advancing layer by layer, and Elliot is fully prepared to capture Red Rock City.
On the walls of Tongan City, the human army had already completed the battle preparations. The catapults had been loaded, and the huge crossbows had been pushed to the battlements. Archers drew their bows and arrows and hid behind the battlements. The spacemen held their steel spears tightly and hid in the walls.
A war was about to break out.
The orcs were getting closer and closer to Tongan City. The sound of the war drums became more and more urgent. When they were still a thousand meters away from the city wall, the orc vanguard troops ran and launched a charge.
The city defense weapons of the human army began to roar from the moment the orcs launched the charge. Bags of huge stones were thrown out through the long arms of the catapults, and meteorites rained down on the heads of the charging orcs.
The orc vanguard troops were well-prepared for this. One after another huge shields were raised to the top of their heads, and the stones hit the shields with a loud bang.
Facing the meteorite rain, the orc troops kept charging.
The crossbows mounted on the battlements behind the catapults began to work, flames gushed out from the muzzles, huge flaming projectiles shot into the orc formation and exploded, and the flammable materials wrapped in the projectiles splashed and ignited a large flame. The flames stained the shields and armor, and the surfaces of the shields and armor were also ignited. No matter how strong the orcs' defense was, they could not withstand the scorching flames. In order to extinguish the flames, they rolled on the ground and screamed in pain.
Because of the killing of the crossbows, the charge formation of the orcs in the front row had become a little scattered, but the pace of the charge did not stop.
The orcs were closer to Tongan City, and the human archers flashed out from behind the battlements. Under unified commands, they threw rounds of arrows into the sky, and the charging orcs ushered in the third round of baptism.
The orc warriors could not expose any part of their bodies outside the shield, otherwise the sharp arrows in the rain of arrows would penetrate everywhere.
After paying the price of thousands of casualties, the orcs finally rushed to the foot of Tongan City.
The orcs' trebuchets were set up a few hundred meters away, ready to fight with the human army. The siege vehicle was pushed under the city wall, and the slowly rising siege vehicle almost reached half the height of the city wall. The orc warriors directly climbed the city wall from the siege vehicle.
The snake archers and centaur spacemen who rushed to the city began to counterattack the human warriors on the top of the city.
The human archers used the shooting holes to shoot at the orc shooters.
While the archers of both sides were fighting, the human spacemen had already rushed out of the hiding cave and poured the hot oil that had been prepared long ago along the city wall. There were screams and burnt smells under the city.
The flames ignited the sung oil again, and even the city walls under the city where the sung oil flowed were burning, and even several siege vehicles that had been built on the city walls were ignited. Countless orc warriors struggled in the flames.
The war has been intense since the beginning...
Singer, the headquarters of the Church of Light.
Archbishop Solis is a slightly fat old man with a kind smile on his face. In informal occasions, Bishop Solis always wears a white robe without any decoration, which is no different from ordinary priests of light.
As the archbishop of a diocese, he is not arrogant at all, and strictly practices the teachings of the God of Light, treating and caring for every one of God's people equally. It is for this reason that Archbishop Solis enjoys a very high reputation and prestige among the believers of the Isaac Kingdom diocese.
Today, Archbishop Solis, who was sitting in the church, did not have a trace of the smile he had in front of the world in the past, and his face was gloomy. Not only Solis, but also the three bishops of the Cardinal Court, the Inquisition, and the Guard House, who are known as the three giants of the Church of Light, are all here, and everyone's face is not good.
The atmosphere in the church was somewhat depressing. Cardinal Darryl coughed lightly and said, "Archbishop, don't worry too much. The responsibility for the defeat in the Sighing Valley is not the responsibility of the Knights of Light. The Temple is clearly behind the orcs. Our diocese is naturally no match for the entire orc Temple."
"The responsibility is not the Knights of Light, but the Sighing Valley was lost by the Knights of Light. If the Pope asks, will Bishop Darryl explain it this way?" The speaker was Bishop Fast of the Inquisition.
CIRIL and Fast had been fighting overtly and covertly for many years, and he immediately responded calmly: "The orc warriors of the Blood Flame Gray Wolf are not ordinary people who tremble in fear when they see the Punishment Knights. If Bishop Fast thinks that the Knights of Light are not fighting well in this battle, you might as well send the Punishment Knights to take back the Sighing Valley."
Fast snorted lightly without showing any weakness, "If the archbishop approves, I am willing to go to the Sighing Valley with the Punishment Knights in person."
So this suddenly stood up from his seat and said coldly: "Fast, not only you have to go, Diril, Jacob and I will go, and the Holy See will also send people. The Sighing Valley must not be opened by the orcs!"
