Broad World

Chapter 162 Totally Falling

The orcs carried the ladders and quickly came to the bottom of the city wall, fixed them and began to climb up. Just before they climbed halfway, all the ladders suddenly broke in the middle, and the guy on the top fell from the height at once. Fortunately, the snow was thick enough, otherwise, even if they didn't die, they would have their heads broken.

Henry stood on it and smiled. It seems that the orcs have no way to climb the city wall for the time being. If it wasn't for the wrong wind direction today, he would definitely give the following guys a "death cloud technique". Sim stood in the distance and squinted his eyes and stared at the city wall. He knew that the sudden break of these ladders must have something to do with the guy standing on it.

The orcs who fell quickly got up from the snow. They spat out a few mouthfuls of snow water, and then ran towards the city gate like normal people. In the eyes of these simple-minded guys, it is the same from where to attack. Seeing that the enemy had given up climbing the city wall, Henry took Ares away from the city wall.

Seeing that the city gate had become the only breakthrough, Sim shouted loudly at the soldiers behind to drive the few remaining mammoths over, and then ordered all the troops to retreat. Heim, who was directing the battle, suddenly found that the orcs were retreating rapidly. Immediately shouted loudly to make everyone stop chasing.

He knew very well that the reason why he was able to fight these guys evenly now was mainly due to the narrow terrain near the city gate. Once in an open place, the army outside can easily surround and annihilate this group of people. Without the pursuit of the city defenders, the orcs quickly pushed out of the city and gave way.

The guy in charge of driving the elephants whipped his whip hard, and all the mastodons lined up and rushed towards the door. When Haim saw these giant beasts, he shouted: "Get out of the way! Everyone! Be careful not to be stepped on, and be sure to let the orcs behind come in!"

The soldiers in the front row turned around and ran back. Unfortunately, their speed was too slow, and their chests were pierced by thick ivory in an instant. Many people were trampled into small flats by the elephant's legs even with their armor. Amy realized that the situation was not good, and immediately prepared a greasy spell, aiming at the ground behind and releasing it. Because the giant elephant was too fast, it slipped and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, and fell into a ball with the one behind.

The half-orc warrior picked up his weapon and rushed in behind, launching a storm-like attack. Seeing that the giant beast was under control, Haim immediately ordered the soldiers to start blocking the gate again. Sim shouted the holy name of the orc god and rushed to the front. All the guys who stood in his way were split in half by an axe.

Infected by the chief, the orcs broke out with powerful fighting power. With the blessing of priests and shamans, they quickly tore through the entire line of defense, and humans and dwarves were beaten and retreated for a while. When Haim saw this situation, he immediately knew that it was impossible to defend. While organizing soldiers to continue to resist, he asked people to notify all residents to flee to the city hall for refuge.

Sim gave full play to the legendary warrior's meat grinder ability. Ordinary soldiers would be cut down as soon as they met each other. He raised his head and opened his mouth, and then spewed out blood, making a loud roar. The sound of the trench seems to have the power of magic. As the sound waves spread, all the guards who were fighting around the city were scared and ran for their lives.

Henry, who rushed to see this scene, immediately activated the two spells stored in the "Spell Matrix". In an instant, the "Spider Spell" and "Entanglement Spell" enveloped a large number of orcs, immobilizing them in place. Seeing that the enemy was entangled, Haim commanded the soldiers to throw the weapons in their hands without hesitation, then turned around and retreated in the direction of the city hall.

Sim struggled desperately, and soon tore off the sticky spider and the vines under his feet. Henry took advantage of this time to quickly prepare a "death cloud spell", and threw it at the orc chief. A large cloud of poison spread quickly with the wind, forming a dead zone near the city gate within a few seconds.

The orcs trapped in the same place inhaled a large amount of poisonous gas, and blood flowed out of their eyes and noses immediately, and they all fell to the ground and died in a short time. Holding his breath, Sim backed away quickly, and finally left the area before taking a breath. Seeing that the legendary warrior had been pushed back, Henry immediately yelled at Vaughn who had just killed the last giant elephant: "Go! Go to the city hall and assemble, this place can no longer be defended!"

The half-orc warrior nodded, and led the others to retreat along the street, notifying the surrounding residents loudly while running. In order to buy some time for the citizens to escape, Henry took out a dozen bottles of hypnotic potions and smashed them on the ground together. These pink gases can make people who smell them drowsy, and such a large dose should last for a long time.

Sim was not in a hurry to pursue. In his eyes, the city had already fallen. Although there are still some resistance forces, but the overall situation can no longer be saved. Henry glanced at the orcs who had already occupied the city gate, turned around and walked in the direction of the city hall. In his mind, this war has just begun. With the strong fortress in the city center and sufficient supplies, these guys can suffer a lot just by carrying out sneak attacks.

With the influx of a large number of civilians, the entire fort appeared overcrowded. Heim directed people to guide the women and children and arrange them to be safer underground, and at the same time organized all men, including the elderly, to distribute weapons and armor. All the rangers and thieves have been dispatched, and they are lying in ambush in every corner of the city, ready to snipe the orcs.

It didn't take long for Amy, Vaughn and others to retreat here. Haim took a look and didn't find Henry running over and asked, "Where's the count! He shouldn't encounter any accidents, right?"

"Don't worry, the head is using spells near the city gate to delay time. He told us to defend here first." Vaughan wiped the sticky plasma on his face as he said.

Haim was relieved to hear that Henry was all right. "Hurry up and take a rest now. It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable, and I may have to rely on your strength at that time." He asked the kitchen to prepare hot soup and food.

Henry left the city gate and did not immediately join the others. He randomly found an empty house and walked in and locked the gate. Since all nearby residents have been evacuated, these empty houses have become good ambush locations. Given the chaotic nature of the orcs, it won't take long for them to plunder the city. By then, relying on these houses, they can kill a large number of ordinary soldiers, and it only takes a few days for their number to drop sharply.

The harmful gas near the city gate finally dissipated, and all the orc warriors cheered, and immediately poured into the city like locusts. They kicked open a door randomly without discipline, and rushed in to search for things that looked valuable. Sim didn't care about his army's behavior. In his view, this was a matter of course. He led the army to conquer and destroy. As for the goods, leave them to the soldiers.

The looting behavior of the orcs gave the thieves hiding in the shadows a chance to make a move. While these robbers were picking and picking, they quickly slashed their daggers across their throats from behind, and an orc was silently killed like this. The ranger also hid behind the chimney on the roof and shot cold arrows frequently. Before Sim was aware of it, at least two hundred people in his army had died.

Sackham sighed as he looked through a window at a thief who frequently managed to sneak up on him. He thought that his fellows were too stupid to start looting without even clearing out the enemies in the city, which was simply suicide.

Old Sa came over and pointed at the messy scene outside and whispered: "See, this is our biggest shortcoming. Maybe it's because of our chaotic surname, maybe it's because of our tradition full of bad habits. If you replace Sim, you must correct all these, otherwise we orcs will never have a future. Do you know the dark elves in the Underdark? Although they are also very violent and chaotic, they are always cautious and cunning when dealing with their enemies. There will never be a situation like this."

"Do we still have a chance now? No matter how much Sim's army loses, there will still be at least 20,000 strong warriors. I don't think that castle can withstand the continuous attacks. They have too few soldiers left." After speaking, Sackham's face was full of despair. He felt that he could only stay here as a hound after he was ordered in his life.

The old orc smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't be discouraged. As a leader, perseverance is a must. Remember what I said? Never underestimate any adventurer. Sometimes they burst out with power, and even the gods will be afraid. Look, the arrogant Sim will soon be in trouble. You just need to wait for the time to stand up and save those retreating warriors."

Haim got the news that the orcs had entered the city, and immediately ordered the gate of the castle to be closed tightly. The two iron gates were pulled down and all the windows were closed. He personally came to the top arrow tower to observe the enemy's movement carefully. At the same time, the assassination in the city was in full swing, and Henry also began to join the ranks.

He used various control spells to create opportunities for thieves and rangers. A large number of orc warriors disappeared into the empty house, their bodies were all hidden, and they didn't even have time to make a cry for help. Sim led about 10,000 people to surround the entire castle, and then ordered the men to start demolishing the houses and making ladders and catapults on the spot.

Heim didn't dare to be careless, he asked the archers to shoot rockets non-stop, setting all the surrounding houses on fire. Rather than let the orcs use it to attack the city, it is better to destroy it directly. A large amount of thick smoke was emitted from the violently burning wooden house. The choking gas forced Sim to retreat a certain distance, and at the same time sent many people to put out the fire. (To be continued.)
