Chapter 161 Giant Elephant Assault

After Heim arranged all the crossbows, he returned to the city hall and continued to organize citizen patrols. Henry was always worried about accidents, so Suo surnamed lived in the tower with all his companions. The days passed quickly, and the weather was getting worse and worse. Citizens have been organized several times to clear the snow, otherwise the roads would be impassable and the roofs would collapse.

While everyone was warming up to the fire, a group of patrolling soldiers walked in from the outside. As soon as the captain came in, he cursed loudly: "This damn weather, there are even more damned orcs."

"That's right, it's snowing so heavily outside that it's hard to see the scenery ten meters away. I really don't know what's the point of repeating patrols like this." One of the soldiers also expressed his dissatisfaction.

Henry smiled when he heard these people's complaints. Just as he was about to invite the soldiers to come over for a sip of hot soup, suddenly the ground began to vibrate slightly, and within a few seconds he heard a loud "bang". Immediately after the alarm bell on the outer city wall was rung, someone shouted loudly: "Enemy attack! The orcs are coming! They are hitting the city gate!"

"Damn! These green-skinned bastards are finally here. Let's go! Let's give them a good look." The captain led his men and rushed out of the tower quickly.

After buffing himself with a few anti-****, Henry also stood up and said to the companion next to him: "Let's start to act too. After this battle, the entrustment of Alastriol should be considered complete."

"I've been getting impatient for a long time. I hope this time the orcs won't be as evasive as they were a few days ago." After speaking, the half-orc warrior put on his cold helmet, took off the giant sword from his back and swung it twice.

Zuvotha unstringed the crossbow, and inserted an arrow. "Let's go, I want to see what the monster in the dream is."

Seeing that his teammates were all ready, Henry took the lead on the city wall. Except for Bamberke who was left in place because he was not used to the cold weather, everyone else ran towards the city gate. Nearly a thousand soldiers had assembled behind the city gate, and the thick ice on it had been hit and covered with cracks, and it seemed that it would not last long.

Haim loudly commanded the soldiers to line up in a square formation, with spearmen in front and infantry with shields at the side. The houses on both sides were full of archers, and even the racks of the defensive crossbows were dismantled and placed nearby. Except for a few arrow towers that were still shooting on the city wall, there were basically no people in other places. The archers and ballista operators on both sides of the city gate were shot and killed by the orc archers, and they are now driving the giant elephant to hit the city gate forcefully.

Under the impact of such a powerful beast, even the gate made of fine steel will soon be unable to hold it. With a loud noise, the mastodon elephant in iron armor rushed into the street, frightening the soldiers at the door. It trampled on a rampage, and anyone who was stepped on or knocked into the air would die in the blink of an eye.

"Fire the ballista! What are you waiting for! Hold the spearmen, our city is behind you, if you don't want your relatives and friends to die miserably, you must not retreat!" Haim yelled angrily, now he finally knew what the hell the orcs were up to.

With the giant elephant opening the way, the orc soldiers quickly followed up from behind. As soon as they rushed into the city, they fought with the scattered guards. As the number of influxes increased, the entire line of defense became precarious. By the time Henry arrived, one-third of the thousand or so soldiers had been killed or injured.

Without further ado, Vaughn jumped down and joined the battlefield. He quickly opened up an open space among the crowd with his two-handed giant sword. The ordinary armor on the orcs couldn't stop the sharp magic weapons at all. Their bodies were easily cut open like pieces of paper. The ranger raised his crossbow to look for the commander to snipe, and soon the enemy's offensive was contained.

Seeing that the fighting situation had eased, Haim yelled at Henry: "Get rid of those mastodons first! These giants are too much of a threat to ordinary soldiers!"

Henry glanced at these guys in iron armor, and immediately began to chant spells, ready to set a fire. A few seconds later, a flaming wall of fire rose at the gate of the city, which directly cut off the connection between the inside and the outside of the city. A few unlucky guys were instantly burned into burning men, and a giant elephant turned around and ran away with a scream.

The long hair all over its body became a good combustion accelerant, and the violent high temperature made this bad-tempered guy instantly furious. It aimed at the orc army behind it and rushed towards it. Countless people were trampled to death and overturned along the way. It was not until Sim and Sackham arrived that the accident was stopped.

The two legendary warriors quickly turned their bodies sideways, and then grabbed the iron armor and climbed onto the back of the giant beast. Sackham slashed at the elephant's head with a huge axe in his hand, and Sim swung the two tomahawks frantically. Soon the head of this crazy beast was chopped off beyond recognition, and it fell directly to the snow. Its whole body was covered with various burns, blisters, and black-red muscles.

Sim glanced at the empty city gate with a rare smile on his face. He turned his head and said to the others behind him: "Warriors! The vanguard has smashed through the gate of this city, go now! I allow you to loot without limit for three days, no matter if they are men, women, old people or children, as long as they dare to resist, they will be killed! Come on! Fortune and women are waving to all warriors!"

Hearing his promise, the wild orcs burst into cheers. Nothing can inspire their morale more than plunder and conquest. Sim glanced at the frenzied army and nodded in satisfaction. Then he turned to Sackham and said, "Now you can seek revenge on those adventurers. Remember to cut off their heads. I want everyone to know what it means to be an enemy of an extremely powerful orc!"

"Obey! I'll take Shaman X to follow their trail. If there is no accident, before the city falls, you can see a bunch of bloody heads." After speaking, Sackham turned and waved to the old shaman, and the two walked towards the city gate together.

Henry and Amy kept using magic to attack the mastodon that rushed into the city. These injured and frenzied behemoths ran around, and the entire house near the door was completely reduced to ruins. Under this kind of counterattack regardless of cost, the enemies in the city were quickly wiped out.

Heim commanded the soldiers to recapture the city gate. They confronted the orcs outside through a wall of fire, and rushed to fight after the magic effect disappeared. After experiencing the initial panic, the soldiers and citizens in the city were quickly reacted. They spontaneously picked up their weapons and rushed towards the city gate. Everyone knew that if the city was captured, no one would end well.

The duration of the "Fire Wall Technique" passed quickly, and with a roar from the orc, the two sides quickly collided, and the small city gate became the place where the two armies fought. The orc priest kept adding various buffs to his side, and the dwarf priest was not to be outdone. The soldiers rushing to the front felt several times stronger than before.

Henry observed for a while and found that with the blessing of divine magic, these human and dwarf soldiers fought on par with the orcs, and they would not be in danger of being defeated for a while. He turned his head and said to several other people: "You guys stay here first, I will take Ares to the city wall to see if I can cause some trouble for these guys."

"Master, please rest assured. If the situation here changes, I will use the "messaging technique" to notify you." After speaking, Amy released a "fear technique" on the orcs behind, and the affected guys immediately started to rush around. The guards took the opportunity to push the enemy out a few meters.

Henry took his animal companions and ran quickly towards the city wall. When he arrived at the top of the city, he found that the orcs were slowly advancing in the snow with a ladder on their shoulders. It won't take long for them to climb up and attack condescendingly. You must know that there is no soldier on the city wall now, and everyone is gathered near the city gate.

Without time to think about it, he left Ares alone on the spot, and immediately blessed "flying", "advanced invisibility" and "protection against long-range weapons" by himself, preparing to destroy these few ladders. In the air, he took out the "Book of Changes" and directly chose the strongest adamantine golem and threw it down. The book was transformed in mid-air, and killed a few unlucky guys as soon as it hit the ground.

After landing, the golem launched an attack according to the owner's order. Its sturdy body was not afraid of ordinary swords. It ignored the orcs around it, and rushed up to trample and break the surrounding ladders. Taking advantage of everyone's attention being attracted by the golem, Henry quietly used spells to destroy other ladders.

Sim saw this big golden guy at a glance, he drew out the weapon hanging on his waist and rushed over, and it didn't take long for him to hand it over. The blunt sides of the two axes kept beating near the golem's knee joints, and within a few minutes, the completely deformed knee was twisted and broken in the process of turning around.

As the golem was severely injured, its body began to deform violently, turning into a golden book in the blink of an eye. Sim picked it up curiously, looked at it, and then put it on his belt casually. He knew very well that it was just a magic item, and there must be a spellcaster hidden around.

Henry quietly tampered with the remaining ladders, and flew towards the city wall without looking back. He didn't even plan to ask for the Book of Changes. This one-eyed orc leader is really too powerful. The last battle with Sim made him understand that he is not the opponent of the legendary warrior for the time being. He should leave this guy to have a headache. (To be continued.)
