Elite Mages’ Academy

Chapter 240: The Beginning of the Battle (1)

The so-called misfortunes never come singly. In the headquarters, when the contemporary squad leaders were still arguing about the identity of the fleet outside, someone hastily opened the door and came in, reporting that an outpost had already lit a beacon.

Everyone's unattractive faces instantly turned worse. They set up an early warning mechanism similar to a beacon tower at the outpost, just to be able to give early warning to the enemy's invasion. But when the warning signal arrives, no one will So be happy.

The entire fortress has been plunged into chaos and busyness. Originally, they had done a lot of mobilization in their respective classes two days ago, and everyone did not say that they were not mentally prepared, but the situation is a bit different now. The silver fleet next to them is Totally unplanned.

What reassures everyone is that the suspected elf fleet stopped not far away and did not make any other moves. Not only did they not use long-range weapons or spells to attack, but they did not send anyone ashore. The headquarters was discussing whether it was necessary to They took the initiative to send people to negotiate, but now the sudden attack of the orcs made them temporarily abandon this plan.

No matter what attitude and position this fleet has towards the Dawn Academy, as long as they can continue to watch like this until the entire exam is over, it is enough.

Although many people think this kind of thinking is unreliable, but at the moment, they really can't think of a better way.

The people who arranged for the reconnaissance returned soon. Their defenses a few days ago were still effective. They arranged for people to use long-sighted scrolls to conduct round-the-clock reconnaissance near the outpost. After discovering the enemy's situation, they first used the beacon tower to notify the people in the fortress, and then rushed back to report in detail.

As expected, the orc wolf cavalry troops were rushing towards this side, but the number was not very large. According to the rough statistics of observers, the number was about three or four hundred, but the wolf cavalry troops who followed closely were It was nearly 3,000 fully armed orc infantry who were rushing forward.

"I can understand the wolf cavalry. If they march at full speed, they can go all the time. But I can't understand the orc infantry. Why do they appear here at the same time?" Xiao Lin stared closely at the people who came back from scouting, hoping to get Confirmation of this information.

"Hey! You also gave me the long-sighted scroll, how could the information be wrong!" The scouts were from other classes. Hearing Xiao Lin's question, the monitor of this class naturally didn't agree.

Xiao Lin shook his head and sighed: "It's not aimed at him, but it's very strange. The reason why I paid so much attention to reconnaissance before was to determine the enemy's movements. The information from the reconnaissance is that there are no orc camps stationed around here. Then Where did the orc infantry pop up out of nowhere?"

"That small jungle nearby?" Cheng Ming wondered.

"The jungle is not big. If we passed there, our outpost should have discovered it long ago."

"But what if they lay in ambush in the jungle in advance, and only wait for the right time, for example, when the wolf cavalry arrives, and then rush out together?" Xiao Lin's words made everyone's expressions even worse.

If this inference is true, then it is closer to the previous question, did the orcs predict that they would carry out this landing battle from the very beginning?

With a heavy heart. Everyone waited quietly on the top of the city for the arrival of the enemy.

When it was close to noon, someone on the top of the city shouted: "Here we come!"

The mighty orc army is getting closer and closer. This is a real army composed entirely of orcs. There is no motley army like the murlocs. Xiao Lin and other squad leaders have already torn the long-sighted scroll. Under the effect of the scroll, these The brown orc was clearer, and even the breath coming out of its nostrils could be seen clearly.

boom!

They set up a large number of traps on the way to the foot of the mountain. The wolf cavalry brigade, which had no tendency to slow down, detonated the flame traps first. These traps made of flammable materials would cause extremely high-temperature flames instantly after being triggered. Even an orc with rough skin and thick flesh can't stop the direct burning of the magic flame, and the wolf rider itself is also a creature that is afraid of flame.

Flames erupted everywhere, and the wolf cavalry formation immediately became chaotic.

The wolf cavalry also became irritable, but the orc troops were also well-trained. If they stopped rashly at this time, it would only implicate the infantry behind. Not only did the forward wolf cavalry not stop, but they gradually accelerated and charged.

Everyone was slightly surprised by the high fighting spirit of the orcs. Although those cavalry were wearing armor, they lacked magic defense and they couldn't resist the erosion of flames, especially the thicker armor, which was burned red and hot by the instant high temperature, and it was alive on the body, especially in the long-sighted scroll. Xiao Lin and the others looked at the steaming smoke, and couldn't help but feel a hairy feeling all over their bodies. Looking at it, it seemed that even they felt pain.

But even so, those orcs still howled and did not flinch, their pupils were bloodshot, brandishing weapons, ignoring the flames and burns on their bodies, they rushed towards the fort like crazy.

But the traps they set up are far more than these. Behind the flame traps are thorn traps. Those poisonous barbs dealt the deadliest blow to the orc wolf cavalry who were inspired to bleed due to serious injuries.

The venom was dug out from the warehouse of the fortress. They don't know how strong the poison is. Now it seems that the effect is really good. The wolf riders caught in the soles of the feet by the barbs turned forward and backward, twitching and curling up on the ground, blinking. Suddenly there was foam at the corner of his mouth, and he lost his breath.

The orcs who were overthrown were not much resistant to poison. They didn't last too long, and they also died.

The momentum of more than 400 wolf cavalry charging at the same time is actually very strong. Many people in the fortress have only watched the scenes of cavalry charging on TV all their lives. Even if they defended the city, many people couldn't help showing timidity.

But in less than ten minutes, the four hundred wolf cavalry were wiped out, and only a few of them were able to stand. Many people applauded. These days they worked hard every day to lay traps and build defense towers , Now the hard work has finally paid off, and I feel very proud.

"I really thought we were easy to bully!"

"So what if you're an orc, you still have to suffer!"

"Hahaha, I feel that maybe we can really keep it!"

...

The morale of the people who used the trap to shady the orcs also lifted their spirits. The mood swings of these rookies on the battlefield are still very serious. ) Book friends, pay attention!
