Chapter 760: The Orcs Retreat
"It is indeed an orc invasion!"
As the swift dragon bird flew rapidly in the sky, Gervis soon arrived at the mountain range more than ten miles away where the defense line was originally set up.
At this time, there were thousands of orcs rushing forward at the gap in the mountain range.
White smoke continued to rise from the turret that Gervis had ordered to be built, accompanied by deafening explosions.
"There are a lot more people than expected. Gervis, should we go back and get some support?"
Caroline also stopped looking at the scenery at this moment, and her expression became slightly solemn.
There were more than three thousand orcs below, which was much more than they had originally expected. At this time, these orcs were still rushing out of the gap in the mountains.
"No, let's take a look at the situation first!"
Gervis shook his head. With him here, what support was needed?
In addition, although there are many orcs below, they are basically ordinary races such as pig-headed men and dog-headed men.
There are very few orc leaders with extraordinary strength. Gervis believes that it should not be a big problem to defend the turret below. At the same time, he also wants to see whether the turret he built has any defensive effect against the orcs.
Boom boom boom! As Gervis and the others circled high in the sky on the Swift Dragon Bird, the battle below became more and more intense as the orcs continued to arrive, and the loading and firing of dozens of turrets below also became faster.
As soon as the three cannons on the turret fired, the six-pound solid projectiles would whiz towards the charging orcs.
Puff, puff, puff! After those cannonballs, which were several times bigger than an adult's fist, fell into the group of orcs, they immediately knocked down a large number of orcs.
Facing artillery bombardment, no matter how strong the orcs are, it will be in vain.
The solid shell easily penetrated the first unlucky guy, and then instantly pierced through his chest and smashed towards the orcs behind him. Often one shell could take away seven or eight pig-headed men.
Sometimes, even if a shell does not hit the enemy when it falls, due to its huge inertia, the solid shell will still bounce up from the ground with terrifying power and hit the enemy again.
For a moment, the battlefield was filled with the roar of artillery and the sound of wailing.
Especially from the perspective of Gervis and his men from the air, the orcs below seemed like ants, and the damage caused by the artillery was like the marks left by a long sword. Every artillery attack would leave a trail of blood on the ground.
" Kill ! Kill all these despicable reptiles!"
Although there were considerable casualties, the orcs were not afraid, but roared and charged forward madly.
Several of the orc leaders had already landed on all fours and changed their forms, roaring and rushing forward.
Because the central area between the turrets was blocked by several layers of thick wooden stakes, the charging orcs subconsciously moved towards the turrets on both sides, where there were gaps only a hundred meters wide.
In fact, even without the wooden stakes as obstacles, the orcs who were attacked by strange weapons for the first time did not realize how to fight.
According to their usual simple and crude fighting methods, they would naturally crush the enemy with force.
Although the orcs paid a heavy price during the charge, thanks to their fearlessness of death, many of them finally rushed to within a hundred meters of the turret.
Arriving here meant that they were temporarily safe, because the guns on the turret had no time to lower their firing angle.
"Roar! Kill! Kill all these cunning reptiles!"
There were no more terrifying artillery shells whistling around their ears, which made the orcs at the front feel quite safe. They continued to charge forward with roars, wanting to tear apart the turrets in front of them to vent their anger.
“Roar! Roar!”
As the leading orc roared, the orcs beside him raised their large hammers and swords and rushed towards the turret.
Bang, bang , bang ! Roar, roar!
However, what they didn't expect was that when they were about 70 or 80 meters away from the turret, some small rectangular holes in the middle of the turret in front of them suddenly exploded, and bursts of smoke rose.
Although the explosion and smoke could not compare to the strange weapon on top of the turret, after the explosion, they could still hear the wailing of their companions.
Roar, roar, roar! Bang , bang, bang! As the dark hole of the turret continued to explode, the orcs who had thought they could vent their anger with human blood were once again faced with a one-sided massacre.
This defensive battle lasted for more than half an hour and ended with the orcs suffering heavy losses and retreating.
During this time, Gervis and Caroline hovered in the air and did not land on the ground.
"All the soldiers who fought today have made contributions. Let's go back and reward them!"
Seeing the orcs leaving behind thousands of corpses and fleeing back to the other side of the mountains, Gervis said something to Caroline with satisfaction.
"Okay, Gervis."
The soldiers fighting in the turrets below were all brought by Gust and Hayden, so Gervis was not going to come out personally to reward them.
Nowadays in the Holy Continent, even Gervis’s direct guards are not considered to be of high rank.
Ninety percent of the soldiers below are ordinary people, and Gervis can no longer focus on them.
Besides, all his gold coins are now given to Caroline, so when the time comes, he can just let her check the soldiers' merits and reward them.
…
After circling above the turret for a while and making sure that the orcs were retreating towards the Orc King's Court, Gervis directly ordered the Swift Dragon Bird to fly back.
On the way back, Gervis did not go directly to the gathering place, but deliberately hovered above Stormwind City for a while.
Here in Stormwind City, tens of thousands of serfs were digging the foundations busily, and most of the dozens of kilometers long city wall pits had been excavated.
At the same time as the city wall was being built, a smaller square wall was also being built behind Stormwind City. That would be where Gervis's city lord's mansion would be located in the future.
After making sure that the city was being built in an orderly manner, Gervis returned to the red bottom in the center of the gathering place.
After returning to the gathering place, Gervis did not get off the Velociraptor, but let Caroline get off the Velociraptor alone.
"Grevith, be careful on the road!"
When they came to the ground, Caroline stood beside the velociraptor and spoke to Gervis with a tender look on her face.
"Don't worry! I'll go check on Alice and will be back soon!"
Gervis was ready to go see his cheap wife. After returning from the Land of the Falling Gods, he had a convenient means of transportation like the Swift Dragon Bird. It would be unreasonable if he didn't go see his cheap wife! "Yeah!"
Caroline nodded obediently and then stepped aside.
Crash!
As a stream of air spread out on the ground, the Swift Dragon Bird took off again and flew towards the depths of the sacred forest.
Thanks to "book friend 20201028193031655" for the reward!!!
