Chapter 240 The beginning of the war (1)
As the saying goes, disaster never comes alone. In the command center, when the contemporary squad leader was still arguing about the identity of the fleet outside, someone hurriedly pushed the door in, and reported that an outpost had already lit the beacon.n∈n∈,
Everyone's face, which was not very good-looking, became even worse in an instant. They set up early warning mechanisms similar to beacon towers at the outposts to be able to early warning of the enemy's invasion. But when the alarm comes, no one will be happy about it.
The entire fortress has fallen into a nearly chaotic busyness. They had already made a lot of mobilization in their respective classes two days ago. It was not that they were not mentally prepared, but now the situation is a bit different. The silver fleet next to them is completely unplanned.
What reassures everyone is that the fleet of suspected elves stopped not far away and did not use ranged weapons or spells to attack, nor did they send people to the shore. The command center was discussing whether it was necessary to actively send people to negotiate, but now the orcs' sudden attack made them temporarily give up this plan.
Regardless of the fleet's attitude and position towards Dawn Academy, as long as they can continue to watch like this, it will be enough until the entire exam is over.
Although many people think this idea is not reliable, they really can't think of a better way to do it.
The people who arranged for the reconnaissance returned soon. Their defense was still useful a few days ago. They arranged for personnel to use the far-sighted scroll near the outpost to conduct reconnaissance around the clock. After discovering the enemy situation, they first used beacon towers to notify the people in the fortress, and then rushed back to report it in detail.
As expected, the orcs' wolf cavalry troops were rushing towards this side, but the number was not very large. According to the rough statistics of the observer, the number was about three or four hundred, but close to three thousand fully armed orc infantry were coming quickly.
"I can understand the wolf cavalry. If you march at full speed, you can go day and night. But I can't understand the orc infantry, why they also appeared here at the same time." Xiao Lin stared at the person who came back from reconnaissance, hoping to get confirmation of this information.
"Hey! You also gave the far-sighted scroll. How could the information be wrong?" The reconnaissance person was from other classes. When he heard Xiao Lin's question, the squad leader of this class naturally refused.
Xiao Lin shook his head and sighed: "It's not aimed at him, but it's very strange. The reason why I attached so much importance to reconnaissance before was to determine the enemy's movements. The intelligence from the reconnaissance was that there were no Beast Clan barracks stationed around, so where did the orc infantry suddenly emerge?"
"That little jungle nearby?" Chengming said in confusion.
"That jungle is not big, and if we passed there, our outpost would have been discovered long ago."
"But if they were ambushing in the jungle in advance, just wait for the right time, for example, when the wolf cavalry arrived, they would cooperate to rush out?" Xiao Lin's words made everyone's face even worse.
If this inference is true, then it will be closer to the previous question, and the orcs expected from the beginning that they would engage in this landing battle?
With the heavy feeling in my heart, everyone was quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy on the top of the city.
As it was almost noon, someone on the top of the city shouted: "Here you come!"
The vast army of orcs is getting closer and closer. This is a truly entirely composed of orcs. There is no miscellaneous army like fishman. Xiao Lin and several other squad leaders have already tore open the far-sighted scroll. Under the action of the scroll, these brown orcs are clearer, and even the breath spit out between their nostrils can be seen clearly.
boom!
They arranged a large number of traps on the way to the foot of the mountain. The Wolf Cavalry Brigade, which had no tendency to slow down, first detonated the flame trap. These traps made of flammable materials will cause extremely high temperature flames when triggered. Even the orcs have thick skin and flesh, they cannot stop the direct burning of the spell flames. The wolf cavalry itself is a creature that is afraid of flames.
The flames rose everywhere, and the formation of the wolf cavalry immediately became chaotic. The wolf cavalry also became irritable and uneasy, but the orc troops were also well-trained. If they stopped rashly at this time, they would only involve the infantry behind. The vanguard wolf cavalry not only did not stop, but gradually accelerated and charged.
The orcs' fighting spirit was a little surprised. Although the cavalry were carrying armor, they could not resist the erosion of flames without spell defense. Especially the thicker the armor, it was burned red and hot by the instant high temperature, and was covered with it alive. Especially in the far-sighted scroll, Xiao Lin and others couldn't help feeling frizzy when they looked at the swelling smoke. In their eyes, they seemed to feel very painful.
But even so, the orcs still howled and did not retreat. Their pupils were covered with blood, and they waved their weapons, and rushed towards the fortress in a mad manner regardless of the flames and burns on their bodies.
But they arranged far more than these traps. Behind the flame trap is the thorn trap. The barbs covered with venom gave the most deadly blow to the orc wolf cavalry who were pissed off due to serious injuries.
These venoms were taken out of the fortress warehouse. They didn't know how strong the toxicity was. Now it seems that the effect is really good. The wolf riders who were trapped in the soles of their feet were all tilted and curled upwards, twitching and curling up on the ground. In the blink of an eye, white foam was shining on the corners of their mouths, and there was no more breath.
The overturned orcs are not much more resistant to toxicity. They have not lasted for too long and have died.
The momentum of more than 400 wolf cavalry charges at the same time is actually very strong. Many people in the fortress only watch the scenes of cavalry charges in TV series in their lives. When they suddenly faced this brown whirlwind that was like a sea of storm, even if they were guarding the city, many people couldn't help but show their timidity.
But in just over a dozen minutes, the four hundred wolf cavalry were wiped out, and only a few cavalry could stand. Many people applauded. These days, they worked hard to set traps and build defense towers every day. Now their efforts have finally paid off, and they feel proud.
"I really think we are easy to bully!"
"So what if it's an orc, you'll have to suffer a loss!"
"Hahaha, I feel that maybe we can really keep it!"
...
The people who used the trap to insult the orcs also became excited, and the mood fluctuations of these rookies on the battlefield were still very serious.
