Chapter 26, First Battle: The Siege!



In fact, Su Yue regarded this battle involving a thousand people as nothing more than a game.

But in the eyes of the dwarf player lords of the Turin world.

This battle became an evenly matched and extremely difficult contest.

The dwarven organ cannon beside Loire Jeke was rapidly loaded, the clattering of mechanical gears filling the air, as a dense rain of arrows hurtled towards the human lord's nearly 500-strong force in the distance.

An arrow pierced the neck of a caveman, but what was truly terrifying was...

Even that first-tier cave dweller, facing imminent death, still wielded a steel fork and ruthlessly took the life of a dwarf warrior.

Dong Sifu roared, "Kill them!"

Henriette von Goldwin and four other player lords also joined the first wave of the charge!

Suddenly, Loire Jéke said with a grim expression, "Something's not right!"

The dwarven empire's "Red Hammer" Bodun's oversight team was also standing at a distance... After executing several traitorous dwarven soldiers, they made a strange discovery: "Why haven't any of this human lord's troops betrayed him?"

"Are they all fighting to the death?"

"..."

The sight of a first-tier caveman clad in armor, even on the verge of death, taking another dwarf warrior with him sent chills down their spines.

At this moment, it seems to be to demonstrate its strength.

The human lord rode leisurely on his white horse, hooves raised high, slowly moving forward. It was as if he wasn't there to fight, but rather to watch a human drama unfold… “The dwarven organ cannon is loaded again,” said Abbott Bodu, the brown-bearded dwarf known as the successor to General “Red Hammer” Boduon, the leader of the oversight team.

"Should we attack that human lord?"

"Sir, should we cooperate as well?"

Abbott Bodu said, "The situation is now very simple and clear. Both sides have deployed nearly a thousand low-ranking ragtag troops. We have nearly 23 lords on our side, while the enemy only has one lord. As long as we hit that human lord riding the white horse, wound him or capture him, we can win this battle directly."

Abbott Bodu observed the situation on the battlefield and said, "There's also a beautiful woman with long chestnut hair beside him."

"He probably isn't a hero, is he?"

"I can't be sure."

As a supervisory team, they were not supposed to participate in the battlefield, but these twenty-odd lords were, after all, the chosen ones of the Dwarven Empire.

They are also potential successors to them in the future.

Abbott Bodu said, “In conjunction with that organ cannon, activate the hatred catapults behind us and try targeting that human lord again. If he is still unharmed, it will be enough to prove that he is backed not only by the so-called Chosen Ones or humans, but by the nobles of the human dynasty.”

"...A human dynasty?"

"boom!"

At that moment, the sound of heavy artillery fire could be heard again from the dwarven overseers and Abbot Bodu.

Loire Bragg gazed calmly at the human lord in the distance!

In a strategic sense, the Tier 3 Dwarven Organ Gunner is actually superior to some Tier 4 units. This is a precious artillery unit! It is a strategic weapon, just like a catapult. A Tier 1 catapult can kill dozens of Tier 1 and Tier 2 units.

"They're incredibly tough! How can their morale be so high?"

The voices of the dwarven lords from the front lines came through his friends list, and what terrified Loire Bragg even more was...

That human lord, even when he didn't have an advantage in numbers or troop rank.

They still opted to spread out their formation!

At this moment, the more than 450 cave dwellers, orcs, and first-tier units of the human race seemed to have transformed into a very resilient fishing net.

It seems to be retreating step by step due to the impact!

But in reality, they were just being pulled back by the inertia of the dwarf army!

"A casualty ratio of 1:2? How is that possible?"

Loire Bragg watched as the cannons bombarded the Lord of the White Horse. What excited him even more was that three heavily armed "hatred catapults" were also activated about four hundred meters to his south. If they were similar to the organ cannons, they could help them relieve the pressure and establish a greater advantage in the battle.

However, at this moment, the three hate catapults were not thrown at the troops in the distance, but at the white-horse general who was very close by.

"To catch the thief, first catch the king."

The trebuchets and organ cannons were all aimed at the primary target—the human White Horse Lord.

The human race's White Horse Lord looked up at the white arc high above.

A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"To catch the thief, first catch the king."

"boom!!"

The deafening four explosions and three massive boulders, each carrying the force of hatred, resembled stones thrown by a high-ranking unit like the Cyclops, or the collapse of a mountain carried by the Titan Atlas.

"Europa".

Su Yue said softly.

"Sacred Barrier!"

A white, crescent-shaped barrier, resembling a shooting star streaking across the night moon.

"High magic!"

"They are nobles of the Empire, the Human Dynasty Empire!"

Abbott Bodu's expression darkened; he knew he was in trouble... However, since the Dwarven Empire had existed for countless ages in the material plane, it was naturally impossible for it to be intimidated by the main force of the human empire. But the human noble commander before him was displaying both terrifying leadership abilities and the protection of high-level magic.

The woman beside him turned out to be a sorcerer.

"Northern Fortress is probably in trouble."

After the second round of concentrated bombardment failed, Abbott Bodu was well aware that the dwarven chosen lords had mistakenly focused their firepower on the wrong targets. This resulted in their direct confrontation being conducted almost entirely in melee combat.

Because of armor, shields, and protective gear.

Ranged units have limited firepower.

Logically, this should have led to the human noble's lord's forces continuing their advance. However, Abbott Bodu was watching as the human noble's caveman vanguard was actually retreating.

"He's going to surround us?"

"Damn it, stop him..."

"Why are these Tier 1 troops even tougher than Tier 2 troops?!"

The human forces, fresh from the dense forest, formed a U-shaped formation, gradually creating a semi-circular encirclement. Su Yue watched the scene with great interest. In his previous life, he had always been crushed in battle by other lords; now, he was finally encountering a battle that was somewhat respectable.

A man's love for war boils from the very core of his being.

"When the time is right, we'll devour them."

At this moment, his subordinates, under Su Yue's superb combat command skills, were like a monstrous dragon with its blood-red maw wide open, ready to devour anyone it could!

As Su Yuexin's order to charge arrived, the first dwarf player lord also suffered casualties.
