Chapter 319: The Shock of the Orc Continent



"kill!"

Countless orc soldiers were in high spirits and rushed towards the Royal City of Babus like a tide.

The soldiers on the city wall fired back arrows in panic, but facing so many enemies, their arrows were of little use.

Inside the royal city, the King of Babus looked somewhat unhappy.

He had received the news of the entry of the Hobro Kingdom's army in advance, but he did not expect that the other party would go all out and rush straight to the Babus Royal City without any stopping!

This is not a normal process, because war is not like playing games. Even if you capture the opponent's castle, it does not mean you have won. You still have to consider how to safely retreat from this encirclement.

Generally speaking, the attacking side would attack one city at a time until all the cities along the way were captured, leaving a road for retreat or attack, and only then would they choose to attack the royal city.

There has never been an army like the Hobro army, which directly swept through the cities on the way, or ignored them after repelling them and rushed directly to the royal city.

This means that no matter whether the Hobro army can win or not, they will definitely be besieged and have no way out! This is a real desperate move!

The Kingdom of Hobro did this, and they had only one chance to survive, that is, they broke through the Babusi royal city and occupied the royal city, using the royal city as a base to resist the counterattack of the Babusi soldiers from other places! But this is not the end, it is just a temporary survival. If they want to completely avoid future troubles, they must either defeat these Babusi reinforcements, or they have reinforcements to support them.

Otherwise, with enemies on all sides, the Hobro army would definitely be surrounded and killed in the Royal City of Babus.

No matter which possibility it was, it showed that the Hobro army had absolute confidence, or in other words, they were determined to die this time! King Babus couldn't understand why it was necessary to fight to the death just to gain a rank!

But what he didn't know was that the three legion commanders of Hobro were forced to make this decision.

They wanted to sneak over here, but they didn't expect to be seen by the alert people sent by King Babus. They knew they couldn't hide it anymore, so they might as well cut the Gordian knot and attack Babus King City directly! The reason why they had this confidence was that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce had said before that they would hold back the Second Legion of Babus, and the Second Legion would definitely not be able to come over, so they didn't have to worry about their lives for the time being.

Second, before making this decision, Jasmine made up her mind and contacted the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce using the communicator.

She told Shu Daqiang that their Hobro Kingdom would capture the Babus Royal City within one day and take up defense, and then have the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce send troops to attack Babus one day later, causing Babus to fall into chaos, and they would take the opportunity to evacuate.

Of course, this is not free, but comes at a considerable cost.

Finally, Shu Daqiang agreed. He didn't tell him the details, but just said that as long as they could break through the Babus Royal City, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce would definitely guarantee their safe return.

After hearing this assurance, both Jasmine and her two brothers felt inexplicably relieved.

So, the Hobro army, led by the three of them, launched an attack.

From the border, they kept attacking the capital without stopping! Of course, the soldiers in other cities of Babus were not to be trifled with. They would definitely not watch the Hobro army rush over like this, but they couldn't outrun the four wheels of the enemy!

Because of the steam cars, as long as the speed was increased, Babs's orc soldiers would not be able to catch up. They could only watch the Hobro army rushing towards the royal city.

There were also those who were lucky enough to stop them, but the Kingdom of Hobro had sent out all its elite troops this time, and it was impossible to stop them with just these ordinary soldiers. Of course, Hobro also lost a lot of soldiers during this period, after all, they could not stop, and if they stopped for a while, they would be besieged. But compared to these losses, if the Hobro army could win, this would not be worth mentioning.

There was no other way. Babus's troops could only use carrier birds to report what they encountered to the royal city.

Although the messenger eagle flies fast, it is not instant communication after all. Even if King Babus knew about it, and even if he summoned other troops through the messenger eagle to stop the Hobro army, it was still too late.

However, the current status of the Babus Kingdom is inseparable from the king. When he was young, he was also a well-known ruthless man!

The king looked at the city and woke up. Did he really think that the tenth and eleventh place were only one place apart? He wanted to let the other party know that this was an insurmountable gap. Even if their main force of Babs was not here now, it was not something that could be challenged by cats and dogs!

So the king gave the order to open the city gates and go out to fight! If a human general were to make such a decision, it would be impossible, because if he didn't use the city walls, he would be a fool.

But for the orcs, they are more courageous and can fight head-on, and will never attack by surprise! Of course, this is based on the confidence that they can win. If they are outnumbered and the weak defeat the strong, they will still attack by surprise. They are not stupid.

Just like now, under the king's order, these soldiers rushed out of the city gate to have a real manly battle with the invader Hobro.

Jasmine and others outside the city looked at the soldiers rushing out of the Babus Royal City after the gates were opened. They all took a deep breath and shouted, "Kill!"

There were no extra words, and the battle started with a knife-to-flesh fight! Currently stationed in the Babus Royal City were the First Legion and part of the Third Legion. The First Legion was generally more skilled in combat, but the number was very small, so it could not play a big role in such a large-scale war, so it was mainly to protect the royal family.

Naturally, this part of the Third Legion served as the main force in the battle. They were a legion that was extremely good at defense and were well-known throughout the Orc Continent.

On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Third Legion were also extremely conspicuous, because they exclaimed that every orc was holding a huge shield!

Some of the shields are even bigger than they themselves, which combined with their height of two to three meters, or even three to four meters, makes them extremely visually impactful. In addition, they are all covered in black armor, which protects them tightly. Looking at them gives people a strong sense of security, as if they are human tanks.

On the contrary, Hobro's soldiers all held a silver arm shield in one hand and a silver spear in the other, and wore armor that only protected important parts of their bodies, looking a lot more shabby.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness, the economic gap between the two sides can be seen at a glance.

Compared to Babus's heavily armed Third Legion, the Hobro army looked like country folk.

This is also the confidence of the Kingdom of Babus. If other legions were to face the Hobro army, even the Second Legion, which is good at attacking, might lose, but the Third Legion would not.

Although they may not win, they will definitely not lose!

Except for the top ten armies, no one could break through the defense of the Third Legion of the Kingdom of Babus! This was the experience summed up after many wars! However, the result was somewhat unexpected for the Kingdom of Babus.

After the first close combat between the Black Flood and the Silver Flood, the number of corpses left by both sides was surprisingly similar! "How is this possible! How could they break through our defenses!"

On the city wall, looking at the battlefield below, King Babus shouted in disbelief.

You know, he spent even more gold coins on the Third Legion than on the Second Legion. Their armor and shields were all made at great expense. Ordinary iron tools could not break their defense at all!

But why was it that the Kingdom of Hobro was able to break through the defense with just one round of attack? "Could it be the silver weapons in their hands?"

A minister beside King Babus said thoughtfully.

In his impression, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Hobro should not have such weapons. Most of their previous weapons were yellow-white bone weapons, and a small number were black copper and iron weapons. There was no such silver weapon! Generally, this color is made of fine iron and is exclusively used by the nobles and royal families. When did the Kingdom of Hobro become so rich? Besides, their silver weapons are only different in color, and the power has not been improved. How can they break the defense of the Third Legion? There is not much thinking, because the second impact is coming.

This time, King Babus and several ministers around him saw it clearly. When the two sides came into contact, a soldier from Hobro gritted his teeth and raised his spear, aiming at the soldiers of Babus's Second Legion and stabbing them hard. The armor that they were so proud of was pierced directly through!

"this……"

There was a look of shock in Babus Kingdom's eyes.

The enemy's spears can easily penetrate their armor! The weapons of the Hobro soldiers are too hard!

For orcs, the sharpness of weapons is not a priority. Rather, they need stronger weapons.

Because the orcs are so strong, even an unsharpened spear can easily penetrate the body of an unprotected orc. However, if the opponent's armor is stronger than his weapon, then his weapon will be shattered. Without weapons, their combat effectiveness will definitely be reduced a lot.

Now, those sturdy silver weapons, in the hands of the Hobro orcs, can easily pierce the armor of the Babs orcs and the weapons remain intact. Only the shields of the Second Legion can block them.

However, although the shield is large, it is relatively heavy. It can block an attack once, but not necessarily a second time. The lightly equipped Hobro soldiers appeared to be much more flexible.

What surprised the Babus Kingdom even more was yet to come. In addition to the powerful weapons of the Hobro soldiers, the armor on their bodies, which only covered the important parts, was also very strong. When the Babus soldiers attacked them with machetes, it didn't hurt at all!

However, apart from these important parts, the rest of the Hobro soldiers are not armored. But the orcs have extremely strong vitality, and chopping their arms or thighs will have no effect at all.

Even if they may suffer lifelong disabilities in the future, at this moment, on the battlefield, they still have strong fighting power!

“We’re going to lose!”

A ridiculous idea suddenly occurred to King Babus.

He didn't want to believe it, but the facts before him told him that they were very likely to lose! Because there were too many soldiers from the Kingdom of Hobro, and the other side had three legions attacking together, while his Babus King City had less than half a legion defending the city.

"Have you contacted the Second Legion?"

The king said to a minister behind him with a sullen look on his face.

"We've made contact. I estimate they'll be back in half a day!"

The king finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the minister's words.

Although he had made some wrong estimates about the strength of the Hobro Kingdom's army, as long as the Second Legion returned, it didn't matter. Under the pincer attack from both sides, the Hobro Kingdom's army would surely be destroyed! "Oh, let them run rampant for a while, and wait for our--"

Rumble~ However, before he could finish his words, bursts of rumbling sounds suddenly came from the sky, interrupting his words.

"Um?"

Everyone was stunned. In this world, such a loud noise is rare. Could it be an earthquake? But there was no shaking!

The king quickly came to his senses.

"Don't worry about these things for now. Send another eagle to see where the Second Legion is."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

However, what King Babus didn't know was that the Second Legion, which he had been thinking about, was facing a catastrophe at this moment !

The sound of explosions stunned everyone in Babus's Second Legion.

Watching his soldiers being torn to pieces in the explosion, and even their bodies being devoured by the flames, the commander of the Second Legion was furious.

I guessed there was a trap here, but I didn’t expect it to be such a horrible trap!

The battle-hardened Babus Second Legion had no chance to fight back in this explosion that was comparable to a natural disaster. If they were hit by the explosion, the worst that would happen was losing limbs, and in serious cases, they would die on the spot!

They only have one option now, and that is to run!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

The legion commander roared heartbreakingly, but in such a chaotic scene, his voice was drowned out by the explosion. The army had already been in chaos, and the soldiers could not see any news from the commander, so they could only flee separately.

The surviving soldiers of the Second Legion soon discovered that the explosions in the southeast were slightly smaller, as if there were fewer traps here.

Without much thought, they subconsciously ran to the southeast. This was an instinctive reaction, but what they didn't know was that three airships were already waiting in the sky in the southeast.

"Huh~Finally got out!"

The commander of the Second Legion let out a long sigh, listening to the explosions behind him, fear still lingering in his eyes.

He expected that he might encounter a strong opponent, but he didn't expect that this opponent would be so formidable! Before they even saw the opponent, most of the Second Legion was killed or wounded!

He had to go back quickly and tell the King the news! He had predicted that this trap must be related to the Kingdom of Hobro, and this time the other party was well prepared!

but……

"Hey? Captain, what's that above our heads?"

Suddenly, a soldier with a broken arm looked at the sky curiously and asked.

After hearing this, the legion commander looked up and saw three airships overhead.

This kind of strange thing, before the explosion... he had seen it!

The strong smell of death made the legion commander tremble all over.

"It's over..."

call out--

A sharp sound echoed throughout the battlefield.

Under the confused gaze of the orcs below, one black cylinder after another fell down and landed in the middle of the surviving First Legion.

Boom! A loud noise seemed to shake the entire Orc Continent.
