Chapter 568 Burning Catapult

At this time, the three major empires of mankind have formed a united front.Although the orcs attacked fiercely and unexpectedly possessed extremely strong siege capabilities, the power of the three empires managed to curb their continuous advancing momentum.

The place where the Eighth Army marched was not actually the territory of the Holy Lion Empire, but the territory of a kingdom on the original buffer zone between the Holy Lion Empire and the Botswana Empire.

The orcs chose to attack the two empires at the same time, and this buffer zone became a site for three parties to fight for—well, it should be said that it was two parties.Although there is still intrigue between the Holy Lion Empire and the Botswana Empire, resisting the orcs is the top priority of the two countries.

The Eighth Army was stationed in a relatively large city.This city is the largest city in the kingdom where the Eighth Army is located except the capital, but at this time, only a large number of soldiers and no residents exist in this once prosperous city.

This kingdom is secretly controlled by the Holy Lion Empire. At this critical moment, the younger brother naturally needs to take care of it. The residents of the city where the Eighth Army is stationed have all been relocated not long ago. The first of the Holy Lion Empire The Eighth Army and the Fourth Army are now stationed together in this city called Cyric.

It is said that the Fourth Army of the Holy Lion Empire is four places higher than the Eighth Army in terms of organization, but in fact the overall strength of the current Fourth Army is not as good as that of the Eighth Army.In addition to the reason that the Eighth Army has added a group of thousand mages, it is more because the original Fourth Army has almost been destroyed, and the current Fourth Army is newly built.

After hearing such an introduction from Paramount, Yu Fei felt even weirder.If the Eighth Route Army is not enough, should we add a New Fourth Army?Is there a big knife team or something?Thinking of joking, Yu Fei asked casually.

Unexpectedly, Paramount replied in a serious manner that there is indeed a team called the Broadsword Team.It was made up of some remaining officers from the original Fourth Army. They had an unspeakable hatred for the orcs and would rather fight with their lives against the orcs.

This team was originally called the Death Squad of Officers, but later because most of these officers used knives as weapons, they were nicknamed the Broadsword Squad.

Now Yu Fei is really speechless, he should be the head of his own independent regiment, the New Fourth Army's broadsword team is completely loveless!
Yu Fei didn't make Yu Fei wait too long. Three days after the Eighth Army entered Cyric City, the orc troops finally arrived here.

As a high-ranking military officer, Yu Fei saw with his own eyes some broken human troops fleeing into Cyric City from the tower.However, more human soldiers were not let in because the orcs followed too closely, but died under the walls of Cyric City.

To put it in the past, Yu Fei will definitely feel disgusted by this kind of behavior of ignoring death.However, after being a tree for so long, he seemed to have become indifferent to the loss of life, and he was unmoved—especially in his eyes, these lost lives were nothing more than aliens.

However, the arrival of the orcs means that the leisure days of the mage group are coming to an end.The magicians under Yu Fei were divided into two groups, led by two sky-level magicians, Scott and Morton, in two shifts.

Among the magicians under Yu Fei, almost three-fifths are earth magicians, not the most fashionable and most lethal fire magicians in the army.Yu Fei was a little surprised at first, but after Scott explained it, he understood.

This is actually a matter of experience.The Holy Lion Empire has been at war with the orcs for more than a month, and the biggest problem they have discovered is that the city walls that humans rely on as a barrier are relatively fragile under the inexplicable attacks of the orcs, and they can't have the desired effect at all.

The catapults that can produce incendiary bombs and the wolf cavalry that can cause great damage to the city walls all make it impossible for humans to show their defensive advantages at all.

After suffering a lot, the Holy Lion Empire finally found an effective method, which is to use magic.

Most of the green-skinned orcs seemed to be completely unaware of magic, and it was also the effect of a mysterious force that could cause great damage to the city wall. Whether it was the incendiary catapult or the wolf cavalry, it had nothing to do with magic.

Facts have also proved that magic can indeed bring more effective damage to orcs.Correspondingly, applying magic to defense can also have a considerable effect on orc attacks.

Reinforcement of city walls with earth magic is a method used by humans and all races of Eslazer. When the night elves raided the hinterland of the Holy Lion Empire before, they saw the combination of mage groups and mage towers in those cities and gates. How hard is the wall after that.

As the second largest city in the local kingdom, Cyric City naturally has a mage's tower, which is located not far behind each city wall.The spells cast by the magicians in the mage tower can fully affect the city wall and places farther outside the city wall.

The orcs seemed more cautious. When they attacked Cyric City, they did not launch an offensive directly, but surrounded Cyric City first.Yu Fei roughly estimated that the number of orcs surrounding Cyric City is about 30.

This number is actually not as large as the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army combined, but the combat effectiveness is the opposite of the number.

In terms of defense, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were responsible for two walls respectively.Yu Fei's mage group also stationed in two mage towers—of course, not all of them.

Yu Fei divided the Eighth Army mage regiment into two parts for shifts, and each part had five teams, led by Yunxiao magicians.Among the five teams, there are two in each of the two mage towers, and the remaining one is used as a mobile force to fight fires in two places.

As for Yu Fei himself, he did not enter the mage tower.His identity is a spiritual magician, and ordinary mage towers cannot amplify spiritual magic, so Yu Fei simply stayed on the tower.

The orcs didn't play any tricks of encircling three and missing one, and launched a tentative attack shortly after completely encircling Cyric City.

However, to the orcs, it was only a tentative attack, but it made the humans in Cyric City feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.Because this first wave of attack was sent by the strange catapult of the orcs.

According to Yu Fei's observation, the boulders projected by the orc catapults are actually not as big as those thrown by the mountain giants.Hitting the city wall of Cyric City, the instantaneous damage to the city wall was not that serious.

But after the boulder fell, some flames ignited strangely on the part of the city wall that was hit by the bombardment.Under the scorching of the flames, the solid city wall gradually showed signs of cracking.

Sure enough, it's the orc's catapult, and it's an upgraded version with a burning effect.Yu Fei understood.In the previous battles, the catapults of the orcs, which can make the city walls burn, made humans miserable.

However, after such a long war, humans have also found some effective ways to deal with it—it's time for the mage group to contribute.

A large amount of earthy yellow light and a small amount of water blue light poured out from the mage towers of Cyric City, covering the walls of Cyric City.

The khaki-yellow light is naturally the effect of earth-type magic. The parts of the city wall that were cracked or even smashed by boulders are gradually repaired under the action of these khaki-yellow lights, as if a hand is reshaping the city wall like a clay figurine.

When the water-blue light hit the city wall, it immediately turned into streams of water, extinguishing the burning flames all over the city wall, making them unable to cause subsequent damage to the city wall.

It is not surprising that the orcs outside the city saw this scene. Humans have already used such methods in some cities before.In fact, the burning catapult can restrain the human magicians, so that they can only be busy repairing and maintaining the city wall instead of casting a large amount of killing magic to cause damage to the orcs, which has already satisfied the orcs.

But even if the burning catapult was offset by the mages in Cyric City, the orcs still have two other types of siege weapons.
