Unfortunately, these lead bullets hit the massive body, like a drop in the ocean, without a trace, and were directly swallowed by the flames. Meanwhile, this orc hero with black and red stripes on his body continued to accelerate across the land, rushing towards the city gate like a giant mountain.
Bang——
Blood and bricks splattered everywhere, and a huge gap was directly knocked out in the city gate. The soldiers on it turned into broken flesh and blood and were evaporated by the flames, emitting wisps of white smoke.
“Ugh—Ahhh! Ah!!”
When the soldiers on the city wall saw the hideous head so close to them, they let out weird cries like babies and ran to the back as fast as they could.
But this orc hero simply opened his bloody sharp claws and slashed through the air, cutting these Black Rock soldiers into several pieces.
Such a brutal scene was hard to accept even for many soldiers from the friendly army of Clancy, and some even vomited.
Many of them are young people in their early 20s, not the kind of numb battlefield veterans.
"Sorry, this is how we orcs fight, alas..." Leighton stood at the back of the army, looked at the roaring sharp teeth, and patted the back of the officer next to him.
In the past, the orcs worshipped battle and the seizure of life. Although they had now submitted to Klansia, many of their customs and concepts could not be changed immediately. Moreover, he was an older radical.
"I hope that Lady Ailani's education can be extended to every child in the future." Leighton whispered.
If the orcs want to live in peace with other races for a long time in the future, they must change this barbaric and bloodthirsty custom.
But the growth environment of each generation is different, and the older generation is powerless to change it. Now he can only educate the next generation well and place hope on the future.
In Fengyan City, several warlords were discussing matters in a secret room. When they heard a loud noise outside, they all ran out and saw the tall orc standing with his head held high.
"How terrifying! Perhaps the legend is true. The orcs inherited the legacy of the Giant King's court, and the war sequence is said to have originated from the mighty Titan among the giants."
A wizard in a black robe with purple edges said as he looked at the roaring fire giant.
"What should we do now?" Several warlords asked anxiously when they saw the city below being broken.
"Wait. Bring out the magic crystal spear troops. Now is not the time to save money."
After Fengchi broke open the city gate, the orc troops below began to pour into Fengyan City. This fortress city built on the mountain was originally used to monitor the orcs on the grassland. Unexpectedly, many years later, it also confirmed its original purpose.
Most of the houses in the city are converted from arrow towers and fortress walls, and their gates and corridors are deliberately designed to be narrow to prevent large orcs from passing through.
As soon as the orcs entered the city, they were soon blocked by the enemy's muskets. Lead bullets shot out from the top of the wall and hidden holes, knocking down the orcs one by one and leaving them lying in the narrow alleys below.
Even after entering the city, the complex layers of bunkers and walls remained in place. Built into the hillside, the fortress boasted not only a bottom layer of walls but also two massive staircase platforms, allowing the defenders to continue their defenses and repel the enemy.
The designs from the ancient Mercury Dynasty still show their simple and practical value today, thousands of years later.
Just as Fengchi leaped into the city again, sweeping across and breaking through the thick city walls, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly broke.
Light white metal wings spread out on both sides of the airship, breaking through the air currents. The propellers at the rear rotated rapidly, but made only minimal noise. This giant airship, more than 300 meters long, attracted everyone's attention as soon as it appeared.
The pale white airship was engraved with a deep blue rose in seven blossoms, and high-level mages above Sequence 6 stood inside. The entire airship exuded a huge magical fluctuation, like the beating heart of a giant dragon.
Immediately afterwards, the hatches on the belly of the airship opened, revealing red and black magic crystal gun muzzles.
Gears turned, the magic furnace charged, and the enchanted adamantine shells were mechanically pressed into the barrel. The neatly arranged barrels, adjusted by the mages in the airship, began to aim at the giant orc on the ground.
The patterns engraved on the barrel glowed red, changing from deep red to orange-red, and then to bright yellow.
The last few scorching crimson-gold shells shot out of the muzzle, piercing the atmosphere with a violent shockwave and shooting directly into the body of the giant orc, exploding and shattering, stirring up blood, flesh and endless flames.
The shocking sound of artillery fire, even though they were nearly a thousand meters away, still made countless soldiers deaf, temporarily or even permanently lose their hearing.
Amid the terrifying sound of artillery fire, the thick smoke slowly dissipated, and the giant orc who had lost most of his body was still standing. The blood and flesh from his horrific wounds fell into everyone's eyes in a tragic and direct manner, and then slowly grew and recovered in the white mist.
"Hahahaha—the orcs are indeed quite resilient. This way, I can finally test the limits of this airship!"
A man in military uniform holding a long sword appeared on the deck of the airship. He looked down at the orcs gasping for breath below, his eyes showing excitement. Then, under his command, the magic crystal cannon on the airship began to charge again.
And this time, it was more violent than any previous time.
The magic furnace inside was running at its maximum speed. The huge roar and fluctuations shook the various parts of this sophisticated creation, making a discordant sound, and the light from the muzzle began to glow brightly again.
The light white airship in the sky pushed aside layers of air waves, turned a huge arc in the air, leaving behind a long and vast air trail, and continuously fired at the target below, pouring out crimson golden fury.
The orc on the ground was driven by intuition and instinct, waving his bloody claws to sweep across the enemies in his sight, running fast in the scorching wind. He kept jumping to dodge the golden-red shells and rushed to the central top floor of the fortress.
Taking advantage of the height of the top floor of the fortress, he shot into the sky like a crossbow arrow, and his claws stained with blood and dust swooped down on the airship in the sky.
This airship is made up of sophisticated instruments and components. It is also the crystallization of ancient knowledge. Human beings rely on knowledge and experience to build the edifice of civilization.
With boiling hot blood flowing in their bodies and relying on the most primitive instincts of life, the orcs wield their brute strength to survive in this world.
Bones and teeth are the most directly primitive things, while gears and machines are the most experiential things.
——And now, instinct and knowledge are at a stalemate.
