Chapter 278 The Orc Empire and the Dwarf Empire
The border dwarf main city called 'Hamina'.
The city wall is hundreds of meters high and is forged entirely from a variety of hard metal materials. It is a veritable giant steel city.
From a distance, it looks like a huge dark mountain sitting on the earth, which is extremely shocking.
On top of the towering city walls, shining magic cannons were mounted between the battlements, with their muzzles pointed at the direction of the orc army's attack. They had begun to accumulate energy and were ready to fire at any time.
These magic cannons were carefully crafted by the top craftsmen of the Dwarf Empire. They are extremely powerful, and one shot is enough to destroy a squad of orcs. They can be said to be the main defensive equipment of the Dwarf city.
When a normal army sees a steel city filled with defensive equipment, they would collapse mentally just by looking at it, let alone attacking it.
However, the orc army did not show any fear. Instead, they were full of enthusiasm and were eager to try.
Since the unification of the planes, the Orc Empire has no enemies worth fighting within its own plane.
In other words, they have been invincible for too long and need a capable opponent to challenge them.
"Brave orc warriors, my Lord is watching you!" The encouraging voice of the orc commander was transmitted to the ears of every orc warrior present through magic.
"Roar--"
"For His Majesty the God! For the Orc Empire!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The orc warriors responded enthusiastically, and the collision of weapons and shields made a deafening sound.
Seeing this, the dwarf leader on the city wall couldn't help but frown, feeling a little tricky.
Just from this aura, one can tell that the orc army in front of them is first-class elite.
It’s not easy to deal with!
"Attack, capture this city!"
Following the order from the orc commander, the entire orc army began to move.
Giant beasts covered in heavy super armor and dozens of meters tall stood in the front, slowly advancing forward like moving steel fortresses.
When they move forward in a row, they look like a moving steel wall.
With every step he took, the ground shook.
Fortunately, the nearby ground has been reinforced, otherwise it would not be just a tremor, it might have cracked directly.
This is a unique type of soldier in the Orc Empire. It is derived from units of various tribes and is a war beast specifically designed for sieges.
They possess powerful bloodlines comparable to those of super races. As long as they can grow up smoothly, their extraordinary rank can be directly upgraded to a high level.
And compared with other normal creatures, they have absolute physical advantages.
To put it simply, they have thick skin and are very resistant to attacks.
"Fire, fire! Aim at those big guys and hit them hard."
On top of the steel city, seeing the orc army entering the shooting range, the dwarf commander did not hesitate and immediately ordered to open fire.
Boom boom boom——
The sound of the cannon was like thunder, shaking the entire battlefield.
One after another, magic cannons lit up, followed by countless beams of energy gushing out, like a meteor shower, cutting through the sky and shooting towards the enemy.
boom--
The shells hit the steel behemoth, and the horrific impact force almost made it fall to its knees.
A big hole was made in the super armor on his body. Although it didn't penetrate directly, it was almost there.
"Roar--"
"Ow—"
Under the continuous bombardment of the magic cannon, the earth began to crack, and the steel behemoth advancing in front could not help but let out a painful roar.
One shell cannot hurt them, it can only cause them pain, but if countless shells hit their bodies, it can really take their lives.
As for worrying about not having enough magic cannons?
Don't forget what dwarves are best at.
As long as they have the materials, they can easily forge a mere magic cannon.
Technology is not a problem at all.
Shortly after the realm was promoted, the relevant technology of the magic cannon had been mastered, and even multiple versions were derived.
Such as Thunder Destruction Cannon, All Things Curse Cannon, Spirit Annihilation Cannon, etc.
There are even more powerful ones.
For example, the highly difficult hybrid cannon uses two types of energy crystals, fuses them briefly through the magic cannon, and then shoots them out quickly, so that when it explodes, it achieves the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
In a nutshell, the number of magic cannons in this steel city is beyond imagination.
The orc commander did not sit still and wait for death. He asked the orc priests to cast various magic enhancement spells on the behemoth, and at the same time he ordered the magic army in the rear to begin to accumulate strength for the attack.
At the same time, he moved the siege equipment to the front and launched a counterattack while the dwarves were bombarding the steel behemoth.
For a moment, the two sides began to bombard each other.
Then without any surprise, it exploded directly.
When competing with the dwarves in equipment, we are still orcs, and we are obviously overestimating our own capabilities.
The dwarves not only have the advantage in equipment, but also occupy an extremely advantageous position, allowing them to attack from high and low.
The two sides bombarded each other. No, it couldn't even be called a bombardment, because the orcs were completely passive and only a very small number of shells could hit the city walls, and then they were easily resolved.
"Damn it."
The orc commander looked at this tragic scene and cursed angrily.
Only then did he realize that the enemy before him was completely different from the 'indigenous forces' he had encountered before.
The Dwarf Empire on the opposite side also has gods behind them. The strength of their warriors, technology, and alchemical creations are even stronger than those of the Orc Empire they belong to.
Using these "discarded products" purchased from other forces to deal with them is undoubtedly asking for humiliation.
"Speed up the progress."
The orc commander did not continue to play those fancy things, but directly ordered the legion to speed up the advance, preparing to force the dwarf legion to fight in close combat and enter the combat field where the orcs are best at.
"Defense bless!"
The yellow light sprinkled and merged into the bodies of the war beasts, and a layer of elemental armor immediately appeared on their bodies.
"Extremely fast recovery."
As the blood-red light fell, the wounds on the war beast's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The orc heavy infantry followed behind the war beast, and with the help of the war beast's cover, they advanced forward step by step.
Above the sky, the winged spellcasting army began to mobilize the surrounding elemental power.
"put!"
Following the order from the legion commander, terrifying thunder appeared out of nowhere and transformed into spears all over the sky, shooting forward.
bang bang bang-
The energy cannon collided with the thunder spear. In an instant, countless explosions sounded, and the entire sky was covered with thunder and fire. Ding Ding Ding——
One after another, the thunder spears hit the energy shield, causing waves and making the dwarf warriors below' eyelids twitch.
The exploding energy cannons bombarded the Winged Man Legion, making bursts of explosions. The Winged Man warriors who were close were directly turned into flesh and blood fragments and scattered all over the ground. The Winged Man warriors who were a little further away were also affected by the energy waves and fell directly downwards.
Hundreds of winged warriors died with just one blow.
After all, the racial upper limit is there, and they are not a top race so they can have them all.
So while gaining the ability to fly quickly, they also had to give up some things, such as physical defense.
As the dwarf gunners continued to bombard, the orc warriors at the front also followed the war beasts and came to the bottom of the city.
However, looking up at the steel wall that looked like a mountain, they really didn't know what to do and felt like they had no idea where to start.
"Ow—"
The war beast in the front roared, its huge eyes lit up with scarlet light, and the violent blood and energy surged out of its body. The whole war beast became violent, and its limited sanity began to disappear.
Ultimate Rampage.
Taking heavy steps, the war beasts in the front row immediately rushed forward, as if they wanted to use their bodies to break through this steel city.
The earth trembled.
The dwarf warriors above couldn't help but worry when they saw how violent and confident they were. They wondered if they would really be defeated by them.
"Attack! Attack! Kill them here! Don't let them get close to the city wall!"
"Change to armor-piercing spears. I don't believe that a few layers of armor can stop us."
While concentrating firepower to shoot at the war beasts, the city's defense system was activated, ready to withstand this violent impact.
During the charge, they were attacked by intensive firepower, and one war beast after another fell, but soon new ones would follow.
Over hundreds of years, they were allowed to take advantage of endless resources, allowing most player forces to accumulate terrifying wealth.
Although they have not yet completed their transformation, in terms of numbers, they are no worse than anyone else.
As a war behemoth with powerful siege weapons, it is deeply loved by a group of Orc God players.
Although the upper limit of these honest guys is not particularly high due to their intelligence issues, for normal players, the extraordinary high level is actually enough.
For most current players, how to help believers break through to higher levels is still a big problem.
The powerful bloodline of the war beasts allows them to cross the threshold directly when they reach adulthood, and everyone will focus on training them.
The same is true for Paul Hammer. Through various means, his Orc Empire has accumulated a large number of war beasts.
Avoiding the fallen bodies of its companions, the war beast faced the attacks from above and rushed forward without hesitation, finally crashing into the city wall in one fell swoop.
As for that energy shield?
It was too thin and broke directly.
Where there are strengths, there must be weaknesses.
Dwarves are good at forging, but they know nothing about magic.
Although Ringo has conquered many other races, his roots are still the dwarves. It is impossible for him to devote too many resources to their research, so he only built a symbolic defense system.
What truly ensures the safety of this city are equipment such as magic cannons and the solid structure of the city itself.
As the war beast collided, loud noises were heard immediately. Under the tense gaze of the crowd, the entire steel city actually trembled slightly, and the hard black city walls were sunken into large pits.
The powerful recoil force was transmitted back to the bodies of the war beasts. Even though they were extremely strong, they were still seeing stars and feeling dizzy, and almost fainted.
"Hahahaha! What a bunch of stupid guys! It seems like you only grow in height but not in brains!"
"You are a bunch of idiots. This is a city of steel, and you are trying to break it open with brute force."
"Come on, keep hitting if you can."
Upon seeing this, the dwarf warriors on the city wall quickly fired a few more shots and then laughed loudly.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that the war beast's attack was useless, the orc commander couldn't help but feel annoyed and angry.
If they don't enter the city, they won't be able to engage in close combat and won't be able to play to their strengths.
If the other party continues to guard the city, I'm afraid I will have to pay with my life.
"Pave the way up to the city. Just pile it up." As the orc commander gave the order, huge stones were thrown forward and laid under the steel city.
The orc commander was preparing to build a ramp leading directly from the ground to the city wall.
When the time comes, we will attack from below. Although the losses will be heavy, it is better than staying below and getting beaten.
The dwarf leader quickly saw through his intention, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. The orcs were so stupid, and apart from their physical strength and martial arts, there was nothing worthy of praise.
Once their physical advantages cannot be brought into play, they will be useless.
Some of the magic cannons immediately turned their muzzles and began to bombard the large orcs who were paving the road below, and sometimes even directly bombarded the boulders, smashing them into pieces.
But even so, the "road" paved by the orcs was still slowly rising, and in a blink of an eye it reached a height of several dozen meters.
According to this trend, it won’t take a few days before we can launch the offensive charge.
However, the orc commander had the patience and determination to bear the losses, but Paul Hammer, who was watching from the sky, did not.
"A bunch of idiots."
Looking at the behavior of the orc army, Paul Hammer couldn't help but curse out loud, even though they were devout believers who were extremely loyal to him and were willing to die for him.
Why, after so many years of civilization, are my subordinates still so stupid!
Boom——
Above the orc army, the sky cracked, and from the dark crack, a thousand-meter-tall bright light emerged.
"My lord!"
"The Great Orc God!"
The orc warriors below were extremely fanatical and prayed to the gods.
"The alien god has arrived!"
"Great dwarf god, your devout followers need your guidance!"
The dwarf warriors on the steel wall were shocked when they saw this, and then they prayed to their faith, hoping that He could also come here and protect His believers.
Then, no response.
The brilliant light and shadow instantly solidified with the help of the large number of believers here.
Then he was seen raising his hands high in the air, and a huge energy axe suddenly appeared, then suddenly chopped forward.
The sky collapsed.
The terrifying energy shock wave ignored all obstacles and directly hit the steel wall.
With a loud bang, the steel wall, which was hundreds of meters high, covered with defensive inscriptions and forged from metal materials, was split open, leaving a huge gap nearly a hundred meters wide.
The residual power of the energy shock wave spread for thousands of meters, destroying countless buildings along the way, and finally leaving a long and deep crack on the ground.
