Elite Mages’ Academy

"These orcs are really fierce!" Xiao Lin shook his head and sighed, and closed his eyes after retracting his gaze, letting his eyes, which had been looking far away through the long-sighted scroll, relax slightly.

Han Manman was a little displeased with his pessimism, and sneered slightly: "Are you afraid at this level?"

Cheng Ming also understood Xiao Lin's worry. Originally, the external defense was basically carried out under his and Xiao Lin's strength. Unfortunately, more than 80% of the traps were exhausted just now."

Han Manman froze for a moment, and retorted: "But we also killed nearly 400 wolf cavalry, and the materials for these traps were just taken from their own warehouses, and we didn't have any losses at all!"

Xiao Lin smiled wryly, he couldn't directly ridicule the woman's shallow strategic vision, and explained: "But don't forget that our strategic purpose is to hold on to this fortress as much as possible, and prevent the enemy from retaking their supply station. This is tantamount to embedding a nail in their logistics line to hold back the main force attacking our Dawn City. This is the background of the mission. Originally, according to my idea, I actually hoped to use those traps and cooperate with long-range attacks to suppress, at least delay Live in orcs for about a week."

"Those wolf cavalry, they are deliberately using their bodies to open the way and help the follow-up infantry clear the traps! The army that is not afraid of death is the most difficult to deal with!" Cheng Ming sighed with emotion.

The orc army basically cleared their traps with the sacrifice of wolf cavalry, but the fort still had zero losses. It seems that the orcs lost a lot, but Xiao Lin and a few people were not happy about it. In exchanging their lives for time, they lost four hundred people. But what Xiao Lin lost was a whole week!

After that, the orc infantry really began to press up slowly, and the formation of more than 3,000 orc infantry was fully deployed without any tactics. In this way, he attacked directly from the front.

Xiao Lin suddenly looked back as if aware of it, the location of the fortress was not very good. There is a plain in front, and the endless sea is adjacent to the back. The silver-white fleet seems to be a little closer to the coast, but it still just stops there quietly, as if it is really just a passerby.

But Xiao Lin suddenly came to his senses, and he suddenly understood that no matter whether this fleet really came from the elves or not, their purpose might not be to join this war. Instead, cut off their retreat!

If Xiao Lin and the others had plans to retreat, it would definitely not work to break through the siege head-on. The most likely way would be to go by sea. The orcs wanted to kill them all!

Xiao Lin was more confused, there were too many things that didn't make sense, as far as he knew, the elves should be a lazy race that aloof from the world, and although the relationship between the elves and the orcs was not bad, it was also They are definitely not friends, and it is even more impossible to fight together, not to mention that Shuguang Academy has never offended the elves far away in this historical period.

"The orcs are coming!" Cheng Ming seemed to see his distraction. He whispered a reminder.

Xiao Lin shook his head, put all the confusion behind him, and secretly warned himself that he should focus on how to defend. What happened to Gu Xiaoyue made him not allow any accidents in this exam. Even if the orcs and the elves really signed a secret contract, it would be a thing that has passed in history after all. This is just a mock exam.

"I will help defend the magic tower, and leave the fortress to you!" Xiao Lin and Chengming ordered, and hurriedly left the fortress. What he did made the other squad leaders a little dumbfounded.

The defense tower is built on the hillside outside the fortress, also considering that the fortress itself is not very big, not to mention that the fortress itself is not very strong. If you really have to face the situation of siege at the beginning, it is difficult to guarantee how long you can stick to it.

These defensive towers require manual operation. In other words, they had to assign some people to go up the tower. This task made many people complain.

Everyone can see that once they are attacked by these orcs, the tower guards must die first, although strategically speaking, this is the best way to delay the orcs.

The acting squad leaders are in a dilemma. In order to establish dignity in their respective classes, they all hope that their orders can be strictly carried out, but if it is such a high-mortality task, they find it difficult to open their mouths, and even think it is possible will arouse the resentment of others.

Although the academy has given them the authority and title of squad leader, high-ranking people cannot be cultivated in a day or two. Obviously, when these people who are used to being small citizens on the earth are really faced with this kind of choice, many people All in an embarrassing situation.

Xiao Lin gave everyone a head start. He took the initiative to walk out of the fortress, and boarded the defense tower under the eyes of hundreds of pairs of surprised or astonished eyes. The defense tower is divided into two types: the arrow tower and the magic tower. The one above is naturally the spell tower, after all Xiao Lin has no confidence in his archery skills.

Many acting monitors were quite upset, especially when they saw the undisguised admiration in the eyes of other students, they became even more disgusted with Xiao Lin. It's not that they haven't thought about going to battle in person, but first of all, they always have concerns. If they die early and affect the evaluation, it may be directly related to the selection of the final senior. No matter how friendly they are usually, it is impossible to be completely desireless after all.

There is also a more important reason, many people are not suitable for boarding the defense tower, such as pure melee combat, it is a waste to go to the defense tower.

But Xiao Lin didn't have their worries, or after listening to Gu Xiaoyue's pleading on the beach, he had already put aside all messy worries.

The grade leader is nothing, whether it is exchange points, credits, or even the official monitor position, in Xiao Lin's heart at the moment, all of these are not as important as Gu Xiaoyue's life.

That's why Xiao Lin walked out of the gate of the fortress without hesitation, although some people, such as Wang Dalin, said very bluntly that Xiao Lin did it on purpose for everyone to see, and satirized him as being too hypocritical.

But at least most of the students secretly gave Xiao Lin a thumbs up, and the people in class 7 recognized the monitor even more, and responded unceremoniously to Wang Dalin's sarcasm: "Instead of making sarcastic remarks here, why don't you Go out and show the hypocrisy to everyone?"

This unexpected effect was not within Xiao Lin's consideration. After climbing up the defense tower, Xiao Lin checked the device for getting off the tower a little bit, saying that it was a defense tower. Or as simple as waving a wand to release a spell. (To be continued.)
