[Chapter 379 The Orcs Become More Fierce]
Green energy shells streaked across the sky, constantly passing by the Quinjet.
Fortunately, the mass-produced Quinjet Decepticons have good flying skills, and no shells have been able to hit them, but this chaotic situation has also caused some trouble for the airborne landing.
“Raise the altitude!”
Gareth did not lead the team in person. Floyd is currently in Iron Tree Castle, responsible for forming the first gunner unit of Iron Tree Castle, and is not in Winter City.
In this operation, the front-line commander of the Winter Knights is Maddox Hawke.
The former commander of Snowfield Castle has been training in the Winter Knights after joining David, looking for opportunities to establish more merits.
Today he finally got the chance, but the opponent did not seem to be as easy to deal with as he thought.
Fortunately, his rich battlefield experience, coupled with his hard work in learning during this period, allowed him to make the right response at the first time. After the Quinjet increased its flight altitude, it did avoid the anti-aircraft firepower from the orcs, but this also meant that the airborne process would become longer.
“High-speed airborne!”
As the cabin door opened, Maddox used the Halo of Piety to give his teammates around him stronger defense.
There were also knights on several other Quinjet fighters doing the same thing. As the training continued, several paladins had already appeared in the Winter Knights.
In addition to the most basic use of holy light, the Halo of Piety is also a skill that these paladins must master.
In this way, in addition to the energy shield that the Blizzard Power Armor itself has, there is also the additional defense blessing of holy light, which allows them to completely ignore attacks and land safely on the designated battlefield.
“Winter is coming!”
With slogans, the Winter Knights jumped off the Quinjet fighters one after another, and everyone adjusted their postures at the first time so that they could fall to the ground at the fastest speed.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Although Maddox was the first to jump out of the cabin, his men completed the posture adjustment first and then passed by him at an astonishing speed.
At this time, Maddox adjusted his posture and followed his men to descend at high speed.
It’s not that he was slow, but the Winter Knights’ airborne combat manual clearly requires that when facing the enemy’s anti-aircraft firepower and forcing an airborne landing, the commander must be “behind”.
To put it bluntly, in the face of this situation, the subordinates must act as a meat shield for the commander to ensure that the commander can land on the battlefield in a better state. The
so-called better state is that the energy shield is more intact and almost not consumed.
At the same time, it is also to avoid unexpected situations. What if the enemy suddenly takes out some unseen big killer and kills the front airborne unit in seconds?
Killing a soldier in seconds is not a big deal, but directly killing the front-line commander in seconds, even if the successor reacts quickly, the morale of the entire unit will be affected.
Like now, Maddox can clearly see more and more green lights and shells passing by, and occasionally green halos will explode on the bodies of his subordinates “in front”.
“Adjust the posture and start slowing down!”
After the altitude dropped to a certain extent, Maddox controlled his power armor to complete the posture change, from a vertical downward high-speed descent to a normal airborne posture. The
main thrusters on the power armor started, and the descent speed was quickly reduced to a safe range.
Almost a few seconds after the speed dropped to a safe range, the Winter Knights landed!
“Landed safely, sir!”
“Fire! Kill these damn orcs!” Maddox felt the vibration from his feet. This down-to-earth feeling was like an order. The instinctive reaction gained from hard training made him point the muzzle of the assault rifle at the green-skinned orc in front of him at the first time when he shouted “Fire” and pulled the trigger.
Facing the orcs, Maddox would not have any mercy. After all, he and the orcs had an old grudge!
Even though the invasion of the orcs indirectly prompted him to join the Winter Knights, start a new life, and even learn the magical power of the Holy Light, he would not be grateful to the orcs. He would only regard these guys as ugly invaders! Boom boom boom
!
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta~
bang!
The dull sound of the power armor falling to the ground, the continuous gunfire from the assault rifle, and the roar of the missile explosion filled the entire battlefield.
Some of the Winter Knights specially adjusted the direction of landing and landed on the orcs’ warships. They immediately blew the bridge into pieces and then began to attack the turrets on the warships.
The entire coast has become a battlefield. The Winter Knights’ combat method is to attack in multiple places. Almost every place is a battlefield, and each Winter Knight is equipped with powerful firepower that is enough to clear a safe area alone.
Even if the opponent is an orc who has mutated again, this has not changed.
However, compared with the unilateral slaughter at the beginning, the orcs still showed some threats this time. Assault rifles can still kill orcs, but as long as they do not directly hit the head, heart and other vital parts, these orcs can ignore the pain and continue to fight. The
weapons they wielded were also accompanied by green light. After these weapons hit the blizzard power armor, they would always cause violent agitation of the energy shield. If they were attacked continuously in a short period of time, the energy shield would collapse temporarily.
“Gather and form a combat team!”
After Maddox discovered this situation, he immediately ordered the Winter Knights to gather nearby. After three or four Winter Knights fought in groups, they could better avoid accidents. As
soon as he gave the order, an orc with green skin and a physique that was thicker than the surrounding orcs, with sharp bone spurs on his body and holding a giant hammer suddenly rushed out in front of him.
Boom!
The hammer hit the ground in front of Maddox, and a burst of green ripples broke out. Just by being swept by the ripples, his power armor sounded an alarm:
Warning! Energy shield collapse!
“What…”
Maddox, who was shocked, noticed that the opponent’s attack was not over. With the cover of smoke and dust, the hammer was hitting him from the side.
Instinctively, he raised his assault rifle to parry, and the next second, a huge force came.
Maddox, wearing a power armor, stood and slid to the side more than ten meters away, and the assault rifle in his hand had become a pile of scrap metal.
“…”
There was a sudden sharp pain in his ribs. He knew that it was the armor that automatically injected him with medicine. His arms, which had lost feeling, quickly regained consciousness and he took out his melee weapon: a two-handed sledgehammer. After
joining the Winter Knights and undergoing rigorous training, which improved his quality, Maddox chose the sledgehammer as his melee weapon.
Mobilizing the holy light in his body, the sledgehammer in his hand faintly exuded a little sacred light.
While observing the orc in front of him who was roaring to the sky, Maddox also took the opportunity to glance at the surrounding situation.
His comrades have gathered one after another, and ordinary orcs can’t stop the terrifying firepower of the Winter Knights.
The one in front of him should be the top combat force among the orcs, and it is very likely that he is the commander of this orc group.
“It seems that I have good luck.”
After a while, the energy shield of the power armor has been restarted. Maddox swung the heavy hammer and fought with the orc…
Looking at the scene in front of him, almost everyone focused their attention on the orc who was fighting with Maddox. After careful observation, David found that the orc’s strength was indeed good, but the heavy hammer in the opponent’s hand was the key.
Especially as the battle progressed, the orc had a clear advantage at the beginning. Slowly, Maddox stabilized the situation and gradually began to suppress the orc and beat him up.
The orc’s strength was visibly declining, and the green light on the heavy hammer was also fading until it disappeared.
At this time, the orc who was originally strong and terrifying had shrunk a lot, and his muscles had obviously shrunk. The whole person looked weak and powerless, and it seemed that it was difficult for him to even stand there.
Maddox could have ended the battle long ago, but after gaining the upper hand, he received a direct order from the Duke: Fight with this orc for a while longer, and he wanted to observe the orc’s situation.
So Maddox didn’t stop until the orc couldn’t fight anymore and just stood there gasping for breath with his hammer.
“Kill him… Also, don’t touch the hammer directly.”
“Yes, sir!”
A heavy hammer killed the orc warrior, and Maddox looked around.
While he was fighting with the orc, the battle around him was over.
Under the saturation fire attack, the orcs couldn’t hold out for too long, and with the skilled cooperation of the winter knights, the orcs still couldn’t kill any of the winter knights.
It was not easy to injure a few knights, but under the dual protection of the paladins and the healing potion, they successfully survived the most dangerous period.
So, this battle was still a great victory with no casualties, all the green-skinned orcs were killed, and none of them escaped.
One is that there is nowhere to escape. Even if the battleship is activated, it is impossible to escape far under the pursuit and bombing of the Quinjet Decepticons. Another point is that these green-skinned orcs have no intention of escaping at all. Even if they are at an absolute disadvantage, they still charge forward with a roar.
Strong and brave, with battleship cannons and terrifying evil energy, the orcs seem to have found another way to obtain evil energy. He noticed that some orcs used the weapons in their hands to kill the captured orcs, and then the green light on the weapons became more intense.
Killing orcs can increase evil energy, so can killing humans? Wouldn’t the orcs become stronger as they fight?
Facing such a powerful orc army, how long can the Sodurunma Empire last?
