The battle at Eagle's Beak Gorge has reached its climax.
After being bombarded by crystal cannons and spirit crossbows, the three thousand orcs suffered heavy casualties, losing at least half of their numbers.
However, thanks to their ferocity and superior physical advantages, they still managed to tear through the armored legion's defenses time and time again, unleashing a frenzied massacre.
They knew very well that they could only rush forward, they could only desperately rush forward.
Only by breaking through the armored legion's defenses can they survive; otherwise, they will be engulfed by the mountaintop's artillery fire and become cannon fodder.
Bang!
The heavy spiked club slammed down on the armored soldier's head, deforming his steel helmet and crushing his skull.
bass!
The werewolf's sharp claws swept across the armored soldier's body, sending a burst of fire into the air.
As the werewolf's fingernails broke, they also ripped open the scales of its armor. The orc's bone spear, swift as lightning, pierced the gaps in the armor.
boom!
The armored soldier's body was lifted high into the air and then thrown out forcefully, hitting a group of people.
However, the armored soldiers refused to retreat and fought desperately to block the main force of the orcs. Their presence was a clear boundary between the two sides.
The experts on the mountaintop were thus able to unleash their artillery fire with impunity, inflicting even greater damage on the orc army.
Boom, boom, boom!
The red flame projectiles fell from the sky like a meteor shower, landing among the orc army.
Amidst the earth-shattering roar, countless orcs were blasted away, their mangled limbs and blood splattering through the air.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Flat-headed, spirit-powered crossbow bolts, flashing with either purple or blue light, rained down on the orc army.
Even if the orcs weren't killed by the crossbow bolts, they were blown to pieces by the final explosion.
Even more terrifying is that each giant crossbow bolt, as big as a javelin, creates a dense grid of light on the ground with a single shot.
After a clean explosion, no orc survived within the area covered by the light grid!
The number of orcs is decreasing rapidly, but the experts on the mountaintop are facing increasing pressure.
They not only had to eliminate the orc army in the canyon and protect the princess's safety, but also had to deal with the orc warriors who were climbing up to them.
The powerful orc warriors, like kings of the mountains, raced along the steep cliffs at incredible speeds, as nimbly as if they were on flat ground.
Whenever a barrage of crossbow bolts came, thick beams of light swept towards them, and the orc warriors would calmly dodge, or simply burrow into a non-existent crevice in the rock to avoid the artillery fire.
More than a hundred orc warriors quickly approached the mountaintop!
Meanwhile, the vulture legion, which the mountaintop experts feared most, still hadn't shown itself.
Deep within the canyon, hundreds of elite warriors guarded the Qin princess's carriage, each with an indifferent expression, as if the battle taking place nearby had nothing to do with them.
Inside the carriage, the Qin princess remained calm, seemingly oblivious to the sounds of fierce fighting outside.
"Your Highness, the orc warriors are nearing the summit," Ding Bo reported in a low voice from outside the carriage.
The Qin princess raised her eyes: "Have you discovered any trace of the vulture legion?"
"No findings have been made to date."
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Qin princess. This shouldn't be the case. Every one of those orc warriors charging towards the mountaintop was an elite, the most powerful force in the war.
Without the cover and support of the vulture legion, even if they manage to reach the summit, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Are the orc generals on the other side just going to let them go to their deaths like that?
Or is it that the Vulture Legion has other plans for not deploying?
If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either.
The Qin princess calmly said, "The Iron Eagle Legion is on standby. You all shouldn't all stay here. The best defense is offense!"
Ding Bo hesitated for a moment, then accepted the order and left.
The Ironclad Legion, responsible for suppressing the orc army, suffered heavy casualties, but they also accomplished their mission admirably, preventing the orcs from breaking through.
The battle is almost over, it's time to ease the pressure on them.
At Ding Bo's command, at least half of the elite guards protecting the princess flew excitedly toward the battlefield and arrived at the first line of defense in the blink of an eye.
The crumbling armored defenses were immediately stabilized, and under the leadership of the experts, a counterattack was launched.
On a small hilltop, the lion-man general watched with a grim face as the orc army rapidly dwindled amidst the intense artillery fire.
It glanced again at the orc warriors who were seizing the high ground, and finally turned its gaze to the overcast sky.
A quarter of an hour ago, it had already issued the order for the vulture legion to attack.
The vulture legion should have joined the battle long ago, given that it's only ten miles away, but not a single one has appeared yet.
What happened?
boom!
Just then, a deafening roar came from the valley ten miles away.
An incredibly strong tremor struck, causing the lion-man general's feet to shake violently.
Both sides were startled by the sudden explosion and involuntarily slowed down the pace of their men.
Immediately, they saw a magnificent mushroom cloud surge into the sky.
Black and white light flashed alternately in the air, like thunderclaps traveling through the clouds.
Lightning Bolt?
This is the unique light emitted by the explosion of a lightning bomb!
The lion-man general on the hilltop was ashen-faced, as were his dozens of guards and adjutants.
The mushroom cloud rose in the direction of the valley where the vulture legion was hiding.
The Vulture Legion has met with misfortune!
"Commander, be careful!" Just as the lion-man general was in a state of panic, his adjutant suddenly cried out in alarm.
A dark green ball of light suddenly appeared in the sky, like a burning meteor, trailing a streak of light as it descended from the heavens!
boom!
The green light burst open, and the entire mountaintop was enveloped in a ghostly green glow.
Dozens of orc generals' personal guards were blown to pieces, or turned into bizarre charcoal, lying on the ground in all sorts of strange ways.
The loyal lieutenant pinned the lion-man leader down, the front of his body still vibrant, while the back of his body had decayed and withered.
Click!
The adjutant's body shattered into countless pieces, scattered in the crater.
The lion-man general lay on the ground, his eyes wide with horror, his mind still buzzing.
When it saw a ragged figure appear outside the pit, it was startled and stood up abruptly.
Click!
With his charred legs broken off at the knees, the lion-man general was caught off guard, his massive body lost its balance, and he collapsed into the mud with a thud.
Chen Ke grinned: "Your head is worth a lot of money!"
As he spoke, Chen Ke thrust his hand forward, and the black broken spear, like a streak of blood-red lightning, pierced directly through the lion-man general's neck.
Lifting the lion-man's head, Chen Ke hovered in mid-air, raising his black Spear high.
Surrender and you will not be killed!
