Twenty Sided Dice

?

A general on the line, a strong orc, wearing a magical breastplate and wielding a flaming sword - there is no one more like the commander of Castle Black than Hunk.

The orc commandos jumped off the cliff, and only the weak feather fall and levitating spells temporarily cast by the witch sacrifice ensured their safety. Forbidden rune formations are particularly sensitive to flight-related effects, and all attempts to pass through the sky—even dragons—will fail.

Several orcs were blown away by the sudden wind, hit the cliff, and died silently. But there were still many people who landed successfully, grabbed the top of the tallest tower of Black Blood Castle, and assembled one after another, preparing to carry out a second downhill charge from here.

Their plan is like this, first enter the castle range, ensure the success rate of the orc witch ritual casting, and then launch a decisive assault.

And there is no one on this tower, it is simply the best choice for ambush and sneak attack.

They gathered together, and the leader pointed to the radiant Hunk, ran **** across his neck, and drew his weapon. Four orcs prepared heavy crossbows, four were longbows, and most of the remaining dozen orcs were a combination of throwing knives, nets and melee weapons. The four witch priests also landed and are preparing to cast spells for everyone.

Then they felt the tower under their feet shake.

The orcs glanced at each other, thinking it was the tremor from the trebuchet. With their tongues cut off, they were unable to communicate. Changing plans is a waste of time, and you can only act on a plan that has already been agreed upon.

The Heim-led soldiers on the tower had long since withdrawn, and they all gathered under the tower. Siegel eliminated the stone and iron walls, leaving only the force field walls to maintain the crumbling towers. A dozen or so fighters held long wooden poles against the wall, pushing outward so that the tower would not fall in the wrong direction.

Siegel took out the death knight's mace.

This is the most powerful weapon he has ever known, far more powerful than the battering ram, telekinesis, and psionic shock palm. He took a deep breath. All the plasma energy from the bones is mobilized and concentrated on the mace. Nekos's weapon trembled, and a feeling of eagerness to try came from the hammer handle.

At the moment when the force field wall is lifted. Siegel swung his mace and slammed it hard against the tower's support column.

A loud bang. The tower seemed to be flattened as a whole, the inner wall hit the outer gable, and everything inside the tower was squeezed into a cake. The soldiers who were pushing the long poles all of a sudden lost their support, and they all fell down on the ground. The entire tower was pulled up in front of everyone, and then thrown out of the Black Blood Castle.

It was only at this time that everyone saw that there were nearly twenty orcs on the top of the tower.

The orcs widened their eyes and opened their mouths, as if they didn't understand why they flew out of the castle. Several tenacious orc warriors also shot crossbow arrows in midair. Unfortunately, there is no quasi-head at all, only a shallow pit is left on the wall. The witch hurriedly cast magic and tried to leave the tower. Three of them succeeded, and the other fell from a height with the large army.

It was hitting the orc army trying to climb the mountain.

It was a coincidence, but also a choice of fate. The collapsed tower cut through the ice, creating a broken wall of rock and brick. This wall is not high, anyone can climb over it, but the problem is that without ice, no one can slide over it. After the orcs descended here from the slide. You have to stop, stand, and climb over rocks before you can continue to slide. Threatened by Helm's lead archers, this is a wall of death.

The death knight's sneak attack plan also failed - although the commandos were kept secret until their death. It was just a little bit closer to succeed, but luck wasn't really on their side. The three witch sacrifices flying in the sky were volleyed by the archers led by Heim, and the shields against long-range weapons were broken. After they were shot into hedgehogs, they fell into flesh under the cliff. The orcs who fell along with the tower could not even see their bodies, and were all buried under the masonry.

At the same time, Mana immediately arranged for a full-time orc scout to use the dark vision ability to detect the surrounding situation around the clock. Being attacked once is dereliction of duty, and being attacked twice is foolishness.

The orc warriors who were climbing the Blackblood Castle were stagnant in their offensive. The rhythm was immediately disrupted. The soldiers behind were cut off by the collapsing tower - albeit with a pause of only a minute or two - but Humker immediately organized a concentrated attack. Arrows fall like rain, and javelins are lightning mixed in torrential rain. The orcs who climbed halfway had no backup. Offensive effect is greatly reduced. For a small price, the Black Blood Castle prevented the most dangerous first charge.

The second shock came from trolls and hill giants. Their huge bodies can quickly climb up mountain walls. However, it was defeated in the continuous attack of plasma bolts.

However, the enemy's consideration is obviously not to use this to attack the Black Blood Castle, but to cover the White Dragon to clear the ramp. It seemed that the orc army had no time to make the second dragon shield, so the white dragon had to brave the rain of arrows, relying on the defensive spells on his body to push away the big stones on the ice, and used the ice breath to change the ice surface again. be smooth.

"Don't worry about the white dragon, let the archers and crossbowmen aim at the giant on the hill." Siegel measured the situation on the battlefield and gave the only order in the entire battle.

Because he saw the biggest problem of the orcs: the casualties of skating were too heavy, but they could not maintain a continuous impact when attacking the castle.

Bai Long was seriously injured again and barely escaped, but recreated the slide passage. At least the orcs can start sliding down again, albeit with a high percentage of battle damage.

Since the White Dragon would not be able to return for a while, Heimling immediately threw a large number of oil tanks, forming walls of fire on the ice. The orcs on the slide couldn't stop at all, and could only slam into the wall of fire. After being ignited, they wailed, rolled, and whirled and rushed into the pile of corpses.

Mana saw the opportunity and immediately gave an order: "Take out the oil tanks and launch them all down the mountain!"

Only Siegel in the castle understood why.

The trebuchet can't reach the corpse pile, but the oil will run off when the jar is broken. After encountering an open flame, the oil began to burn, quickly igniting the pile of corpses.

"Find wood, broken boxes, and any garbage you don't need! Throw it all down to me!" Hunk yelled excitedly. The radiance of the Yangyan Sword is getting brighter and brighter.

After having a large amount of combustion support, the corpse pile finally completely burned, and it became a wall of fire that could not be extinguished in front of the orc army. Now the orcs face a big problem: after going down the slide. Only a few can stop in time, and most of them will rush into the fire. Burned with the body. Either they found a way to put out the fire, or they had to stop advancing and attack the city with all their might.

The orcs chose to siege the city.

Armed with spears, wielding slings, clubs, and protecting themselves with leather shields, orc armies began their assault on the city walls. This time, they were single-minded and would not give up until their goal was achieved. Stone bullets shot from below smashed against the city walls with a bang, or flew over the heads of the guards, trying to keep their heads from sticking out. However, the defenders only need to push the broken stones out of the battlements, and they may be killed.

And the tricks of defending the city don't stop there.

After the stone is the caltrop. Weapons smelted from scraps and scrap metal were thrown out and littered under the walls of the city. If the orcs wanted to approach the city wall, in addition to raising their heads to pay attention to the arrows in the sky, they also had to be careful of the caltrops on the ground. Most of the orcs paid attention to one thing and another, the speed of their attacks slowed down, and the number of casualties increased.

They try to clean up the annoying stuff, and the hot asphalt pours down.

This kind of thing can immediately scald the muscle when it touches the skin, and then peel off a piece after melting. It is called "biting magma". It gave the orcs not only physical damage, but also a major blow to morale. The orcs could not climb the walls against the threat of hot asphalt. Had to retreat helplessly.

The asphalt dripped on the ground, and as it cooled, it stuck to the caltrops, leaving only the spikes standing upright. It seems that a nail plate formation has been formed, completely cutting off the orcs' idea of ​​cleaning up the caltrops.

The death knight was not reconciled, he thought of a solution after carefully observing the battlefield. Siegel knocked down the tower, revealing a hole in one side of the city wall. The death knight found several jumping points on the cliff, allowing the nimble warg knight to attempt a surprise attack.

With the help of run-ups, continuous jumps and several emergency stops, after paying the price of a dozen lives, the Warg found a way to rush into the Black Blood Castle. The raid took place at dawn on the third day. Fortunately, the orc scouts sounded the alarm in time, and the defending soldiers responded immediately. Soldiers assembled quickly. Pounce on the corner of the castle where the wolf cavalry entered and build a line of defense with spears and shields. The action space of the wolf cavalry was limited, and the crossbowmen took the opportunity to shoot immediately.

Because there are enough soldiers in the castle. The wolf cavalry attack only caused some trouble and did not make a key breakthrough. Soldiers from the Heimland and Jackdaw tribes blocked the attack from both sides of the cliff and from below the city walls.

By the fourth day, the body was almost completely burned. There aren't many oil tanks in the castle, so Manna decides to save some.

After the smell of grilling orcs dissipated in the air, everyone could finally have a good meal. Today there is only bread cheese and pure vegetable porridge, no meat or oil at all. Everyone smelled the fireworks for two days, and at this time, only vegans have an appetite.

The soldiers of Heimland gathered together in twos and threes, and ate with laughter. On the other hand, the orcs were much more miserable~www.readwn.com~ They were on the high hillside, the wind was cold and cold, and they used up all their energy. Wood can only burn dung. If there is not enough fuel, there will not be enough hot food, and coupled with the negative energy aura pervading the resentment channel, even the physique of the orcs cannot last for a long time. Sickness, pain and low morale continue to invade, and they have paid a heavy price in this southern expedition.

It was impossible to calculate how many casualties there were, and they were all burned to ashes. Death knights can look indifferently at the crematorium below the hillside, but the orcs are not as cold-blooded as the undead. After the enthusiasm and urge to fight gradually cooled down—the environment of the Wraith Passage even accelerated this process—many orcs retreated.

Desertions occurred sporadically, but none of the generals told the death knights, because they all sensed the decline of the death knights. Bai Long has experienced many serious injuries. Although he has been treated, he is still lying in the camp to recover his strength, and his deterrence is greatly reduced. The death knights only commanded from the rear, and never fought on the battlefield, so they were despised by the orc warriors.

So for the next two days of fighting, the orcs charged at an extremely fast speed and retreated at a faster speed.

Seeing such a scene, after the giant Kerry bid farewell to Siegel, he left with the warriors of the Jackdaw tribe. Except for the 2,000-strong motor cavalry left at the foot of the mountain, all other troops rushed to Waterdeep City. (To be continued.)
