Warcraft Eternal Tree

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

The place where the Eighth Army moved was actually not the territory of the Holy Lion Empire, but the territory of a kingdom in 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 territory jointly contested by three parties - well, it should be said that it was two parties. Although the Holy Lion Empire and the Botswana Empire are still at odds with each other, resisting the orcs is the top priority of both 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, excluding the royal capital. However, at this time, this once prosperous big city only has a large number of soldiers and no residents left.

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

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

After hearing Paramount's introduction, Yu Fei felt even weirder. The Eighth Route Army is not enough, should we add the New Fourth Army? Is there a big sword team or something? With the intention of joking, Yu Fei asked casually.

Unexpectedly, Paramount replied seriously that there is indeed a team called the Blade Team. It was composed of some remaining officers of the original Fourth Army. They had an unspeakable hatred for the orcs and would rather fight against the orcs with their lives.

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

Yu Fei is really speechless now. He should just be the leader of his own independent regiment. The New Fourth Army Swordsman Corps is completely loveless!

Yu Fei did not let Yu Fei wait too long. Three days after the Eighth Army entered Cyric City, the orc troops finally arrived here.

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

In the past, Yu Fei would have been disgusted with this kind of reckless behavior. However, after being a tree for so long, he seems to have taken the loss of life lightly and is unmoved - especially since these disappearing lives are just aliens in his eyes.

However, the arrival of the orcs at the city means that the free days of the mage group are over. Yu Fei's magicians were divided into two groups, led by two sky-level magicians, Scott and Morton respectively, and the two groups rotated.

Among the magicians under Yu Fei's command, almost three-fifths were earth magicians, not the most popular 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. The biggest problem discovered is that the city wall that humans rely on as a barrier is relatively fragile under the inexplicable attacks of the orcs, and it is completely ineffective.

Those catapults that can produce incendiary bombs and the wolf cavalry that can bring great damage to city walls make it completely impossible to reflect the defensive advantages of humans.

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

Most of the orcs who have turned into green skin seem to be completely incapable of magic. The ability to bring great damage to the city wall is also the function of a mysterious power. Neither the incendiary catapult nor the wolf cavalry have anything to do with magic.

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

Reinforcing city walls with earth magic is a method used by humans and even all races in Eslaze. 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 passes. How strong is the city wall after that.

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

The orcs appeared to be more cautious. When they attacked Cyric City, they did not launch a direct attack. Instead, they surrounded Cyric City first. Yu Fei roughly estimated that the number of orcs surrounding Cyric City was about 300,000.

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

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

Yu Fei divided the Eighth Army Mage Group into two parts, and each part had five teams, led by Yunxiao-level magicians. Among these five teams, there are two mage towers each, and the remaining one is used as a mobile force to put out fires in two places.

As for Yu Fei himself, he did not station himself in 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 did not play any tricks of surrounding three and missing one. Soon after completely surrounding Cyric City, they launched a tentative attack.

However, for the orcs, it was just a tentative attack, but it made the humans in Cyric City feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. Because this first wave of attacks was caused by the strange catapults of the orcs.

In Yu Fei's observation, the boulders thrown by the orc catapults were actually not as big as those thrown by the mountain giants. Hitting the city wall of Cyric City did not cause serious instantaneous damage to the city wall.

But after the boulder fell, some flames ignited strangely in the part of the city wall that was bombarded. The hard city wall gradually showed signs of cracking under the heat of the flames.

Sure enough, it is an Orc catapult, or a version with an upgraded burning effect. Yu Fei felt relieved. In previous battles, the orcs' catapults that could set city walls on fire 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 aqua light poured out from various mage towers in Cyric City, covering the walls of Cyric City.

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

When the aqua-blue light reached the city wall, it immediately turned into streams of water, extinguishing the flames burning everywhere on the city wall, preventing them from causing subsequent damage to the city wall.

The orcs outside the city were not too surprised to see this scene. Humans had already used this method in some previous cities. 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 harm to the orcs, which has made the orcs very satisfied.

However, even if the burning catapult was neutralized by the mages in Cyric City, the orcs still had two other types of siege weapons.
