Chapter 220: The Final Battle Outside Steel Mane City

A distance of 300 kilometers only takes five days according to the itinerary, but the actual journey is far from being as simple as calculating and dividing. Many practical factors must be considered.

Colin had participated in many battles, so he was not surprised that this march took seven days. This was considered fast and there was basically no delay.

When Colin arrived 5 miles outside Steel Mane City, he had already seen the Orc Alliance. The road from the vast wasteland to Steel Mane City was very flat, without too many complex terrains with ups and downs. The weather today was also very clear, and there were no factors that affected visibility.

Whether it is the powerful leaders on both sides of the upcoming war, or the grassroots soldiers who have to fight, they all feel the tense atmosphere before the war.

This is a battle in which both sides will fight with all their might, and it is a battle that will determine the future voice of the Agri plane.

The winner controls everything, and the loser becomes a prisoner.

The Orc Empire had no way of retreat. Originally, they were the attacking party, but after the Elf Kingdom introduced the alien race of the Listan Alliance, the situation changed drastically. They have changed from the attacking party to the defending party. This is a battle that will cost their country its life, and they cannot afford to retreat even a little.

The elves had to fight because the Orc Empire was mainly invading them this time.

As for the three major human empires, the Oss Empire has always been the pro-war faction, because they have been invaded more by the Orc Empire over the years and suffered the greatest losses. The other two countries were half-forced into it. I won’t talk about them before, but this time we can see something from their attitude before the war.

As for the Listan coalition, they came purely for profit. In order to maximize the benefits, a large number of reinforcements were sent again from the Listan headquarters. They were no longer satisfied with seeking the insignificant trade income, they had greater demands.

The interests of the various parties on the battlefield are different, but no matter which side they are on, they all know that the upcoming battle cannot be ignored and they must do their best to win that victory for their side.

The decisive battle has finally begun. There is really nothing left for both sides to say. It will definitely end with one side's failure.

The ancient war tree was huge. Under the cover of the ancient tree, the elves on the tree fired deadly arrows. They dared not say that every arrow could take away an orc, but every arrow could hit an orc.

The attack of the ancient tree of war is also very unique. On the one hand, it can hurt the enemy by hammering the ground to generate seismic waves. On the other hand, its large number of branches can also deal with a single powerful enemy. Although the attack frequency of the ancient tree is low, it can take away a lot of orcs each time.

The elves' archery skills are among the best in all planes. While casting spells, Colin focused on observing the specialties of various races on the field. In addition to those ordinary elven warriors, there were also some elven wizards who were proficient in spells and were casting deadly spells, taking the lives of some orcs from time to time.

What made Colin envious the most was the small group of druids. The creatures after the transformation were varied, but most of them were powerful monsters, especially the giant dragon after the great elder's transformation. Both its size and strength were far superior to Charles before his evolution. There were as many as three level three orcs fighting with it, which was enough to show the effect of this transformation.

The spell of the Elf Queen Margaret was even more breathtaking. It looked like a wood spell, but when it was cast on the orcs, it was more like a life spell. Although Colin had never asked, judging from his vision, it should be a life-absorbing spell. The orcs who were hit by the spell quickly lost consciousness and fell down.

The kings of the orcs have all gone down, a level three berserk orc versus a level three knight, both are powerful physical professionals, their duel can better interpret the violent aesthetics of those high-level professionals, Colin's heart is surging, he wishes he could replace them, but unfortunately, because the knight's path was cut off before, he never considered the knight's path again, as for the future, he can only talk about it later.

The few giants mixed in with the Orc coalition were also a major attraction for Colin. The giants were far superior to the transformed knights in both height and strength, and it often took two or three knights to deal with one giant.

Fortunately, the IQ of giants is generally low, and they prefer to act straightforwardly on the battlefield. Unlike the knights, they still have some brains, know how to cooperate, and know how to find the weaknesses of giants and attack them.

Colin had not seen many attacks from warlocks, but the warlocks invited by Listan this time, in addition to some spells, were more fond of transforming into mammoths to attack. Both war trampling and mammoth impact could cause huge damage to the orcs on the opposite side.

Colin and his men suffered more casualties from the human army and slave creatures. The strength of the human army was uneven, and a single ordinary warrior was usually no match for a single orc warrior. They relied more on battle formations and collective strength.

As for the slave creatures, Listan didn't care much. As long as he won, he could buy more slave creatures with the proceeds. Where did the slave creatures come from? They came from the planes enslaved by the wizard world. Maybe in the near future, the Agri plane could also export slave creatures.

Before the outcome of this decisive battle was decided, there was no ceasefire, nor the possibility of a nighttime stop. Instead, both sides used the intervals between battles to self-adjust the intensity of their attacks. Middle and high-level officers had selective rest and replacements, and the lower-level soldiers could only retreat if they were killed in battle or seriously injured.

This decisive battle has lasted for half a month. Even Colin, who has a strong mental strength among the first-level professionals, can't hold on. Although he has been controlling the number of mana potions he takes, the battlefield changes rapidly. In the absence of much rest, do you dare not drink? If you don't drink, you may be killed by the opponent next time because of running out of mana.

Although the orcs fought desperately, the balance of the war continued to tilt towards Colin and his men. The orcs finally couldn't hold on any longer, and the battle line retreated again and again, and had already retreated to the walls of Steelmane City.

Several orc royal families also suffered casualties one after another. One of the orc royal families, relying on the fact that he was Bolt's grandson, even suggested peace talks to Bolt with confidence. However, he was ruthlessly killed on the spot by Bolt.

Bolt's determination to resist has not wavered, but the shadow of failure has begun to loom in the hearts of all the orcs. They also know that they can't resist for much longer. But seeing that even the emperor's grandson was beheaded on the spot, no one dared to talk about surrender or peace, and they could only bite the bullet and fight hard.

Colin didn't know how many times he had returned to the battlefield. Although he still had mana potions on him, he really didn't want to drink them anymore. It wasn't that the mana potions didn't taste good, but he felt that there were signs of backlash. Fortunately, this time he could also feel that victory was coming and the Orc Empire could not be stopped.
