What do two hundred thousand beasts look like?
Rogge hovered in the air and looked around. From the second level of the fortress outward to the end of the horizon, everything was densely packed.
This is true for Hofla Fort, and the situation must be the same for Hosilan and Hojiaka.
Rogge estimated that this orc vanguard army had one million people.
The tactics of the orc alliance are still the same as before. The vanguard force is the most elite and fierce black orc force, which is extremely powerful. The arrows shot by ordinary archers are almost ineffective against them, as well as powerful magic, trebuchets, crossbows, etc. Defense equipment can stop them.
The Black Orc troops took the lead in the charge and were able to open the gap in the fortress group's defense line as quickly as possible and destroy the first layer of fortresses.
They did it, and despite all the casualties, the first-level fortress was reduced to ruins within less than three seconds of the fierce attack by the black beasts. The battle roars of the beasts resounded and their morale was greatly boosted.
Sacrifice and killing, destruction and invasion, this is the creed of the orcs. In a loving environment, every orc is covered with a layer of special energy that is dark yellow with a hint of blood.
The brutal killing state of the beasts was turned on.
The brutal killing state can be regarded as the beast's natural talent. As long as bloody killings occur around it and the beast's morale is high, it can be stimulated.
This state allows the orcs to feel no pain and increases their own strength by about 20%, which is very powerful.
The elite black orc troops took the lead in charging regardless of losses. Their most important purpose was to create a good atmosphere and trigger a state of brutal killing.
After the black orcs were the cannon fodder troops who could be called the old, weak, sick and disabled. Rogge, who had excellent eyesight, could clearly see that they were obviously much thinner than ordinary orcs. A large part of them were even disabled, even those at the rear of the army. The stone-throwing giants all have long beards and must be old men in the tribe.
But the cannon fodder troops, enhanced by the brutal killing state, showed a strength that was no weaker than that of the ordinary army. They stepped over the horrific corpses of the black orcs and human defenders, and roared into the second-level fortress.
More than half of the cannon fodder troops are goblins. This is a race born as cannon fodder. Their individual strength is generally weak, but their reproductive ability is strong and their numbers are extremely large.
At this time, the Goblin's body was also surrounded by special energy, and he was in a state of brutal killing. It can be seen from this that Goblins are actually a race of beasts, somewhat similar to the relationship between Sakdo and ordinary humans.
Although the Goblin is weak, to kill it, you need to shoot it with arrows and chop it with a knife.
The goblin who was currently in a state of brutal killing ignored the pain. As long as the arrow missed his vital point, he still charged forward with the sword in his hand.
The orcs quickly flooded the adjacent second-story fortress like a tide.
Rogge saw the goblins clinging to the wall of the second-level fortress like ants. This is also one of the gifts of Goblin, which is its extremely strong climbing ability.
The scalding hot oil was poured down, and the goblin's body was instantly burned to pieces. The unpleasant burnt smell instantly covered up the smell of blood, making the soldiers defending the city miserable.
But the hot oil had no effect, and the goblin felt no pain. Even though his body was covered in blood bubbles, he still cruelly inserted the war blade into the body of the defender and stirred it vigorously.
The next moment, a spear pierced out from the gap in the battlements, thrust into the mouth of the cruelly laughing goblin, pierced out, and stabbed through the head of its companion behind it.
Scenes like this happened all over the walls of the second-level fortress. Goblin corpses rained down in all directions of the castle, but more climbed up the wall, seemingly endlessly.
The orcs, who were not good at climbing, could only watch the goblins attack the city before the slinging giant opened the gap.
But how could they be willing to let the inferior species steal the spotlight and taste the joy of killing? The second level of fortress is completely surrounded, so keep moving forward!
So groups of orcs rushed to the adjacent three-story fortress, which was also the middlemost level outside the city wall where Hofra's main castle was located.
"boom!"
Halfway through the orc's charge, the ground suddenly collapsed, and a huge ten-meter-wide trap appeared. If the beast fell into it, it would be blown up into a hornet's nest by the dense spikes, and it would die without even letting out a roar.
Ten meters is an insurmountable gap for warriors below the intermediate level. Even if the old, weak and disabled orcs in the cannon fodder unit have the bonus of brutal killing status, there is absolutely no way they can jump across it.
The charging team was cut off by traps. Whether it was the small number of orcs still charging forward or the large troops behind that were blocked by traps, they became living targets for the rear fortress.
"Swish swish!"
The dense rain of arrows cut through the gap and struck the orc troops indiscriminately. Almost half of the orcs fell instantly. Those who were still alive immediately got up, rushed forward a few steps and then fell to the ground unwillingly. There was a loud roar that did not fall to the ground after being hit by several arrows, but its life force was quickly lost, and it fell forward with its eyes open and died.
After the second wave of arrow rain passed, the orcs between the second and third levels of the fortress were obviously much thinner, and most of them turned into corpses covered with arrows.
"Roar!"
There was a deafening roar from the orc team. It was a normal orc that was rare among the cannon fodder team. His body was covered in muscles and was very strong.
The orc who looked like a commander received intensive care from the archers, but the orc wielded the broad machete in his hand and cut off all the arrows without any injuries.
After his war cry, the thin orcs who were still able to move actually jumped into the trap before the third wave of arrows arrived, and those who had the energy to spare even dragged the bodies of their companions and jumped in together.
They are trying to build a bridge with their bodies!
In fact, the behavior of the beasts is understandable. They are all living targets anyway and will die sooner or later, so it is better to die in a more useful place.
It's just that the orc leader's ruthlessness and determination were unexpected, and the orc troops' actions were too... cruel, which shocked the soldiers of the Scale Kingdom for a while.
But those who could stand on the top of the fortress outside the city wall were not conscripts, but brave veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles. Seeing what the beasts did, not only were they not afraid, but they were inspired to be bloody.
Especially the soldiers in the second-level fortress who were under siege. How could they not be angry when they witnessed their close comrades fall one by one and be chopped into pieces by the brutal goblins and orcs?
Their current state is completely a state of brutal killing without gain. To put it simply, it is an enhanced version of killing with red eyes.
In the fortress in the middle of the second layer of defense, the battle has started from the city head to the high platform in the center of the fortress.
"Uh-huh!"
The guard captain swiped his sword horizontally, and three goblin heads took off. The headless corpse slowly fell down with dark green blood spraying from its neck.
There is only one passage to the high platform, and the corpses on this passage have piled up like a mountain, exceeding the height of the high platform.
The guard captain was standing on this mountain of corpses. A few minutes ago, there were several comrades beside him, but now, he was the only one still fighting. The corpses of his comrades had been covered by the goblins he had killed.
The battle ushered in a brief pause, because the special energy of the Goblin at the front disappeared, and there was deep fear in his eyes.
The triggering conditions for the brutal killing state are, first, the bloody environment, and second, the belief in killing.
The current scene is bloody enough, but most of the corpses are of the same race, and the killings belong to the enemy.
So the goblins woke up from their brutal killing duties, realized their own weakness, and felt fearful.
But the captain's condition was also in a desperate state. He had several poisonous arrows stuck in his body and was stabbed in several places by the poisoned war blade.
He felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, his hands and feet felt like lead, his vision became blurred, and the little energy he had left was blocked.
"Captain, we are the only ones left."
Behind the guard captain, on the high platform, a young magician stood in front of a magic device, looking at the captain's back with firm eyes.
"Start it?" the magician asked.
The captain shook his head and said, "Wait a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of goblin poisonous arrows came. The captain cut off the arrows in the air and barely escaped injury.
The magician behind him had no ability to block arrows, but the arrows were blocked by a barrier one meter around him.
It is precisely because of this pre-arranged high-strength barrier that the magician has not been injured at all so far.
The goblins who had lost their brutal killing state opened the city gate. The orcs gathered at the city gate rushed in and trampled the few goblins who opened the city gate into a pulp.
"Come on, please give me more! Hahaha!" the captain laughed wildly.
Seeing the orcs rushing towards him, the captain shouted loudly: "Son, start it again at the last moment!"
The captain swung his sword wildly and used his last bit of strength to kill ten orcs.
But the orcs are not as weak as the goblins. Even the weak orcs are stronger than ordinary humans.
With a slash of the ax, the captain's left arm flew out in a spin. He stabbed the sword into the opponent's chest with all his strength, while the orc beside him directly cut off his right arm and his roaring companion.
The captain who lost his arms slammed into the head of the nearest beast, and with a "bang", the captain protected by the helmet was slightly better, and the beast passed out.
The orc behind kicked the body of the axe-wielding beast Jilu away, and slashed at the neck of the staggering captain.
Dahao's head shot up, a cheerful smile on his face.
The young magician watched all this, watched the captain's body quickly turn into pieces under the knife, watched the orcs roaring towards him, and smiled faintly.
"Let's all die and be buried with everyone!"
The magician pressed his hands on the magic device, activated his magic power with all his strength, and injected it fiercely into the device!
In an instant, a white light burst out, and the magician's body melted instantly, leaving not a single hair behind.
With the high platform as the center and the range reaching the fortress wall, the explosion formation was fully activated, and violent energy poured out!
At the same time, a large number of bombs carefully designed and buried under the city wall exploded!
"Boom!" A thunderous explosion swept across the battlefield, and the ground shook violently.
The fortress collapsed, and the city walls were blown into large pieces by explosive formations and bombs, which were shot around at extremely fast speeds.
The fortress is like a large throwing bomb magnified thousands of times, and the city wall is like the iron sheet wrapping the bomb. When broken into pieces, the lethality is extremely shocking.
The orcs surrounding the fortress and the orcs inside the fort instantly turned into a blood mist, which was quickly blown away by the shock wave caused by the explosion. The orcs further away faced the bombardment of gravel, like the most tender pieces. Tofu, the body will be broken when the stone rubs against it.
Further away, a large number of stones fell in a parabola, like thousands of trebuchets of different sizes. No orcs survived where they fell.
The battle was suspended after the explosion. In the smoke and dust, a huge circular no-man's land appeared centered on the middlemost fortress of the second layer of defense.
The orcs stood stunned on the spot, facing the overwhelming power, their fear was awakened, and the brutal killing state quickly disappeared, followed by the severe pain in the wounds that had been ignored.
"Ah..." Many beasts began to scream, but they were interrupted by another explosion.
"boom!"
The second fortress exploded, followed by the third, fourth...
Rogge stretched out his hand to grab a piece of gravel that was blown into his face, and watched expressionlessly as the fortresses turned into huge bombs and exploded.
This tactic was proposed by him, and Matilda accepted it without any hesitation. Now that the tactic was successfully executed, the young man didn't feel any emotion at all.
More importantly than the sacrifice, the Orc Vanguard was finished.
