The complete annihilation of the Dragon Legion brought a huge blow to the defenders of Kuhan City.
At this point in the battle, the two sides were already locked in a fight to the death.
The members of the Boundbreaker Association also spent a lot of money, and all their plans could not keep up with the changes. The strength of the orcs far exceeded their expectations.
The number of the opponent's ninth-level experts was not at all lower than his own, and even exceeded.
Coupled with the three million orcs' army, the alliance's only high-end combat power advantage has been lost.
As Urbis said, the outcome of this war was actually determined from the beginning.
The atmosphere in the temple was extremely solemn. Everyone sat on their chairs and said nothing. They no longer had any confidence in the upcoming battle.
The orc army is advancing, and the ice fields left by the final winter cannot stop them for long.
At a distance of seven or eight kilometers, nearly two million orc troops would probably arrive in less than an hour.
"Lord Lecentra! We still have the last trump card. The orc army is coming soon. We can only use those scrolls..."
Fox stood aside and said anxiously.
"Hey, that's all we can do..."
McCarvey sighed.
"Fox, please arrange for the people from the Magic Guild to prepare. Two hundred professional mages will be recruited, regardless of their level. Each of them will be given five scrolls. They will go to the city to wait for orders."
The eighth-level great mage from the Iron Furnace Merchant Guild took the order and went out. Outside, a sergeant wearing armor ran in.
"Your Majesty the Saint! I am Hawk, the sentinel commander of the Third Legion. I am here to report the military situation on the order of Commander Dustin!"
McAlevey glanced at him.
"You tell me."
"..."
The Hawke sentry captain paused for a moment, as if adjusting his mentality, and then spoke in a particularly heavy tone.
"Your Majesty the Saint, we dispatched a total of five legions this time, totaling 700,000 troops. According to the statistics just now, only less than... less than 400,000 troops have successfully returned..."
"The number of wounded soldiers exceeds 150,000, and many of them are seriously injured... plus the defenders in the city, our total number of people who can fight now is probably less than 250,000..."
Hearing these numbers from his mouth, the expressions of everyone present suddenly became even uglier.
McCarvey clenched his fists and said solemnly:
"How is the situation with the Mage Legion and the Gryphon Legion? There are also Chimeras. How many are left to participate in the battle?"
Captain Hawke gritted his teeth and said:
"Your Excellency, the mage army has been almost exhausted... They are the priority targets of the orcs and have been attacked by the rock demons..."
"There are only less than 200 people left in the Griffin Legion, and the fighting spirit in the warriors has been almost exhausted. I'm afraid..."
"What are you talking about! There are less than two hundred people left!?"
Dwarf King Yohad suddenly stood up and blurted out:
"Boy! Tell me clearly! Are these two hundred people the Royal Griffin Group on your human side, or the Thunder Griffin Group on our Dwarf side!?"
Hawke was startled by this loud voice. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:
"Your Excellency...yes...all...these two hundred people are the remaining number of all the Griffin Knights..."
"What!?"
Yohad was shocked, and so were the others.
The Alliance's ace in the sky, the Griffin Knights, which possesses powerful group combat capabilities, actually has less than 200 people left.
At first, they thought that the other party was only talking about the number of one of the griffon regiments.
After all, there are two major griffon legions in the alliance, namely the human race's Royal Griffin Knights and the dwarfs' Thunder Griffin Knights.
But what they didn't expect was that the remaining numbers of the two gryphon legions combined, there were only less than 200 people left...
Those were more than a thousand gryphon knights, and they were defeated in the battle just now?
Faced with such bad news, everyone's faces became increasingly ugly.
"Damn it! Is there any more bad news? Let's tell it together? Where are the Chimeras? How many are left?"
"Chimera...there are only two ends left..."
"boom!"
Hearing this, Arcatus suddenly slammed the table and stood up angrily.
"Damn orc bastards! I'm going to kill them!"
"Arcatus! Calm down first!"
Regina stopped the Archdruid who was about to rush out.
"Calm down? Regina, how do you want me to calm down!?"
"Chimera is the heritage of our clan and the guardian of the eternal ancient tree! Now there are only two of the nine-headed chimera left. How do you ask me to explain to the Council of Elders when I go back! How to explain to the people of the elves!? "
Regina frowned.
"Arcatus, you have lost your ability to think rationally. I will not allow you to rush out and die like this."
This sentence seemed to ignite a powder keg, and the archdruid's anger instantly soared.
"You don't allow it? Regina, you have no right to order me! I don't care at all whether you agree or not! Have you forgotten? If it weren't for your weakness, if it weren't for your unwillingness to sacrifice innocent people, we would have Urbis was killed in the last war! Where did today’s situation come from!”
Regina was silenced by his speech. After a moment of pause, she said:
"Acatus, I am the queen of the elves. I am more heartbroken than you about the losses in my clan..."
"But now the power of the orcs is no longer something you can contend with alone. Urbis plus two ninth-level black dragons, as well as other shamans who can use armed rings, we need to unite everyone. Only with the strength can we fight against them..."
"Regina is right, we should think long term."
McAlevey spoke at the right moment.
"The scrolls brought by Fox may not be able to withstand the attacks of those orcs. Perhaps we should find a way out in advance..."
Arcatus stopped and did not really rush out.
He was just angry for a moment, and he wasn't really stupid. Even Alculus fell into trouble, so what could he do if he went there alone?
In response, Yohad on the side glanced disdainfully.
The dwarf king said that he could tell from the beginning that the shapeshifter didn't have the guts to rush out, so he had no intention of stopping the opponent at all.
"So, Lecentra, what can you do?"
"Perhaps, we should speed up the evacuation of residents in the city, and at the same time send messengers to inform the legions in the rear to stop support operations, continue to evacuate the residents of the cities in the rear, set up defensive positions in the northern wilderness area, and reinforce Lordan City, Storm City, and Stam City line of defense..."
"Hawk, please inform Romel and Dustin and ask them to form a team of elite assassins to kill the orc shamans as much as possible... This mission is a nine-death mission with no return. I need the most trustworthy person to carry out..."
"Finally, we will take away all the food from all the nearby cities. If we can't take it away, we will burn it on the spot. We will destroy all the farmland and woods and we will not be able to find any supplies for them..."
"The Orc army has a large number of people. If they lose their food source, then we only need to hold them back to achieve the final victory..."
"..."
McCarvey stated his plan in one breath, and after pondering for a moment, several others nodded in agreement.
Although this plan was drawn up in a hurry, and there are many aspects that are difficult to implement, the situation is urgent and there is no time to continue discussions. We must act immediately.
"Squeak~"
At this time, a large wooden door inside the temple was pushed open, and a figure slowly walked out.
"It's a good idea to strengthen the walls and clear the fields...but I think it won't be useful for the time being. I have prepared some gifts for the orcs, which should make them turn around and go back..."
The person coming was none other than Zhang Xiaoman.
"Jiuxing? Where were you just now? Why haven't I seen you? By the way, what do you mean by those words?"
Yohad asked.
Zhang Xiaoman shook a small medicine bottle in his hand.
"Haha, I went to get something. Well... But this potion is not for them, it is reserved for the true gods... As for what the gift I prepared is, you should know this right away. "
After he finished speaking, he looked at Sirna who was sitting at the long table, with a look of interest on his face.
This was the first time he saw the undead princess, but she was wrapped tightly all over, with only a pair of ice-blue eyes exposed, and nothing could be seen.
Zhang Xiaoman didn't have any special thoughts about her, he was just curious about the other party's identity. He felt that the aura on Sirna's body was very similar to the white mouse he created using that magic.
"By the way, isn't there a giant dragon in our organization? There's still a little bit of dragon blood missing from my bottle of potion. Where is it?"
Zhang Xiaoman shook the bottle in his hand again and asked about the last ingredient of his potion.
During the time he was in the city just now, he not only completed his spell with the help of formations, but also took the time to go to Talata King City and get the materials prepared by the opponent from Ife.
However, this material still needs the last material, which is the blood of the dragon clan, otherwise it will not be able to successfully exert its effect.
After hearing his question, several people in the room fell into a strange silence for a while. Everyone looked at him with a sad and helpless expression, as if they were hesitant to speak.
Zhang Xiaoman blinked, wondering what riddle they were playing.
"What's wrong? Where's the dragon? Hasn't it come here yet?"
Facing his uninformed look, McAlevey sighed and told the whole story.
"I thought you already knew... Alculus is already... dead..."
"died!?"
Zhang Xiaoman was stunned, and after asking carefully, he learned that during the time he left Kuhan City, the Golden Holy Dragon King had already been here, and had a fierce battle with the orc army, and finally died. On the battlefield.
"Did those gods do it again?"
Zhang Xiaoman frowned, these gods were taking action more and more frequently.
"But... my potion still needs dragon blood as the final essence supplement, preferably ninth-level dragon blood. If Alculus is already dead..."
He thought secretly for a moment, then raised his head again and looked at McAvey.
"Lecentra, Alculus died not long ago, and the blood should still be effective... Where is its body? I want to go over and get some back."
"What!?"
McAvoy was shocked by his words.
"Pole Star, I may not have made it clear about the situation on the Beast Tribe's side just now. Together with Urbis, there are a total of seven beings on the field who have reached the ninth level of strength. The body of Alculus is in the Beast Tribe's body. Behind the clan army, if you go there alone now, you are simply sending yourself to death!"
Zhang Xiaoman looked at him, then at the potion bottle in his hand, then nodded, said "I understand", and then strode out of the temple.
"He, what is he going to do? Is he crazy?"
Yohad looked blankly at the direction Zhang Xiaoman left, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
"Damn it!"
McCarvey cursed secretly and strode out after him.
Obviously, judging from Zhang Xiaoman's expression and demeanor just now, this guy must not have given up his plan to get the dragon's blood. He should have learned that Alculus was behind the orc army and planned to go and look for it himself.
In fact, McAvey's guess was very accurate, and Zhang Xiaoman did think so.
He didn't allow the potion that he had spent so much effort to come up with, and would ultimately fail because of a little bit of dragon's blood.
As for the army of orcs, they seemed like nothing to him. He didn't think that just by relying on these guys, they could have the strength to stop him.
"Pole Star!!"
Outside the temple, McCarvey looked around but could not find Zhang Xiaoman. Finally, he raised his head and saw that he was standing on a bell tower at the top of the temple.
"But... my potion still needs dragon blood as the final essence supplement, preferably ninth-level dragon blood. If Alculus is already dead..."
He thought secretly for a moment, then raised his head again and looked at McAvey.
"Lecentra, Alculus died not long ago, and the blood should still be effective... Where is its body? I want to go over and get some back."
"What!?"
McAvey was shocked by his words.
"Pole Star, I may not have made it clear about the situation on the Beast Tribe's side just now. Together with Urbis, there are a total of seven beings on the field who have reached the ninth level of strength. The body of Alculus is in the Beast Tribe's body. Behind the clan army, if you go there alone now, you are simply sending yourself to death!"
Zhang Xiaoman looked at him, then at the potion bottle in his hand, then nodded, said "I understand", and then strode out of the temple.
"He, what is he going to do? Is he crazy?"
Yohad looked blankly at the direction Zhang Xiaoman left, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
"Damn it!"
