Just before dawn, when the besieging army arrived at the foot of the fortress, the orcs inside were already on high alert.

"Alright, the sneak attack failed, time for a head-on confrontation!"

Jia Zhengyi smiled indifferently, but compared to his ease, Duke Bass looked serious and even a little nervous.

"All troops, listen to my command!"

Soon, the Duke of Bath got into position and began to deploy his forces on the battlefield, with a large number of siege weapons spread out to the left and right, ready to be used at any time.

In the on-the-spot command group plan, the human army was responsible for the large-scale deployment of siege equipment, while the elves were responsible for close-range defense against the orc forces.

Of course, Duke Bass wouldn't stop the elves from doing anything else.

If the elves are capable, they could take the fortress on their own without any problem.

Duke Bass agreed to this battle tonight partly to see the actual combat strength of the "large-scale elven army".

Xiao Linlin was aware of this as well, and at that moment she tugged at Su Lin's sleeve: "Brother, stop reading, it's time to kill someone."

"Tonight's battle doesn't necessarily require actually capturing the fortress, but it must be fought spectacularly."

Xiao Linlin whispered, "This concerns the king's attitude, whether we can get the magic gem for free, and even the Holy Scepter itself."

The issue of the Holy Scepter is not just about collecting the nine magical gems, but also about obtaining the scepter itself.

The scepter itself has always been in the hands of the kings of the human empire. Although it has lost its power, it is still regarded as a symbol of the succession of royal power.

This kind of thing can't be obtained without some extraordinary achievements and benefits, unless you use force.

"Um."

Su Lin nodded, put away the manual, gripped his sword, and rode off straight away.

Killing is his specialty.

Lyanna followed closely behind; wherever Sulin was, she would be there too.

Her gaze remained fixed on Su Lin, never wavering for a moment.

"Leanna, ask Ellery, how should we fight?"

Su Lin stood at the forefront of the elven ranks, gazing at the fortress shrouded in the darkness of the night. The terrifying buildings, stretching for almost dozens of miles, lay prostrate on the horizon, like a sleeping ancient behemoth.

Even from a distance, one can clearly feel its grandeur and indestructibility.

"The three thousand elves of Elrere will serve as a melee force, led by us, and will be free to make their own decisions."

Lyanna spoke calmly: "The remaining elves are divided into four teams, each responsible for long-range attacks, flank support, and defense."

"good."

Su Lin nodded and withdrew his gaze from the distance: "Let's see how they fight first."

Shortly after Su Lin finished speaking, Duke Bass roared, "Warriors! Reclaim our glory!"

"Aim at the fortress! Launch!"

At Duke Bass's command, countless siege engines launched magical boulders, streaking across the night with dazzling flashes of light, as they roared toward the distant fortress!

These megaliths are all forged from specially crafted magic cores and metals, imbued with magical patterns carved by powerful mages, and possess immense magical power.

Under the night sky, each boulder resembles a dazzling star, attracting everyone's attention!

The orcs inside the fortress had already noticed this scene, and the shamans cast spells to create a huge magical barrier!

"Boom! Boom!!"

The boulder crashed down with terrifying force, striking the magic barrier. The barrier rippled out a fine, watery rain of light, blocking most of the magical boulders and leaving the fortress completely unmoved.

"They activated the fortress's defensive core; as long as there is enough magical power, siege equipment will be of little use to them."

Duke Bass had anticipated this scene. While directing the warriors to continue reloading, he looked at Ellie and said, "Beautiful elf lady, it's up to you now."

"I remember that the arrows of the elves have a very powerful magic-breaking effect."

As a high-ranking member of the human empire, he knew the fortress's terror and its weaknesses.

The fortress, capable of withstanding most siege tactics in the world, was utterly unable to withstand the elves' magic-piercing arrows.

This is due to the mechanism of the fortress's magical core; the smaller the flying target, the weaker the fortress's defense against it, not to mention that these arrows also have anti-magic effects.

"Yes."

Elleri took a deep breath, raised her scepter, and cast a buff spell.

A burst of dazzling magical light spread out, covering tens of thousands of elves in one go. The high intensity and wide range of the spell caused a blush to appear on Elree's face, but she could still handle it.

All the elves radiated a dazzling light, and led by the eighteen purebloods, they stepped forward, drawing their bows and nocking their arrows.

At this moment, Sulin noticed a slight restlessness from Lyanna beside him.

This woman seemed to have an irrepressible fighting spirit; she longed to take action and join the battle against her compatriots.

"Leanna, you go and lead the team."

Su Lin gestured softly, "They were brought by you; it's time to let them see your power for themselves."

"Yes, Holy Spirit!"

Lyanna readily agreed, spurred her horse around, and galloped to the forefront of the elven ranks. Like all the elves, she drew her bow to its fullest extent, aiming her gaze at the terrifying fortress in the distance!

"Stars!"

Lyanna's clear voice rang out, and her great bow instantly became dazzlingly bright! Divine radiance spread! A hundred feet of light enveloped her at this moment!

Jia Zhengyi was stunned from a distance, inwardly exclaiming that Lao Lai had been hiding something again!

He always thought Lyanna was going all out, but the next time she would bend her bow with an even stronger force!
