Chapter 81: Before the War According to the analysis of the theory of crustal movement, the Longmian Continent is actually formed by the collision and extrusion of three different plates, the largest of which includes almost the entire human kingdom and the Longmian Desert, and the second largest plate is the Elven Forest, the Ice and Snow Tundra and the Ice and Snow Plateau, the collision of these two pieces formed the terrain of the northern Lingduo hills, and the third plate is the smallest piece is the Beast Plateau, which is like a speeding car and crashes into the two plates that are about to merge at the same time.
The violent collision not only formed the Longji Mountain Range, which separated the two plateaus, but also formed an extremely complex and precipitous area between the Brute Plateau and the Northwest Plain.
A thousand years ago, the human kingdom finally drove the orcs to the plateau, but the long and dangerous supply lines and the already exhausted expeditionary force were no longer able to continue the conquest, and finally the wise king decided to let the orcs fend for themselves on the plateau, we will build a fortress here, and then the boundless land of the Northwest Plains will be enough for our people to enjoy for thousands of years.
The Beast Blood Fortress was established under such circumstances, after thousands of years of repairing and flipping, the modern Beast Blood Fortress has changed from a city wall into a huge city, and the original low city wall has also become a huge building ten kilometers long, twenty meters high, and fifteen meters wide to resist the attack of legendary forces, the entire wall of the fortress is made of granite produced in the local area, and a large number of defensive alchemy arrays are drawn on the wall with magic metal and magic plant juice, in addition to the common battlement female wall of the city wall, There were also a large number of trebuchets, artillery and various defensive equipment placed on the long and wide walls.
Now Zhao Yannian was standing behind the Supreme Council on the highest lookout of the Beast Blood Fortress, this lookout was built on the wall of the Beast Blood Fortress, and the forty-meter-high lookout was enough for Zhao Yannian to see through the dark night that the firelight was winding and swimming towards this side in the distance.
The sudden arrival of the orcs had caught the nobles who had never experienced war at a loss, while the members of the Supreme Council and His Majesty Edward were listening to the two captains of the legion for the defense battle.
"Panic what!
Silence me all!
"Edward had been at the forefront of the Beast Blood Fortress in his youth, and the iron-blooded king was unhappy with the panicked officials and nobles.
In the midst of His Majesty's reprimand, the nobles, who were so frightened that they had forgotten their superiority and inferiority, finally slowly calmed down.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is safer to let the air force generals send them to the military city."
Brandon was a little worried about Edward and the Supreme Council's move to gather all the noble officials attending the ceremony to the lookout to watch the battle, after all, the Beast Blood Fortress has been breached and destroyed no less than twenty times in a thousand years of history, and of course he has successfully resisted the Orc attack as many times.
"Just let them watch it here, I think it's the best inauguration ceremony."
Edward vetoed Brandon's proposal without hesitation, not because His Majesty didn't want to retreat, but because His Majesty knew that if the king and nobles fled at this time, then the morale of the soldiers of the Beast Blood Fortress would definitely drop greatly, and the Beast Blood Fortress that had just been built would probably have to be rebuilt again.
"Your Majesty, our army is ready."
A herald came to the lookout and reported to Edward.
"Your Majesty, please give the order!"
Andrew, as the commander of the Northwest Legion, the highest-ranking officer in the Beast Blood Fortress, asked Edward for instructions.
"Andrew, the battle is commanded by you, I only have one request, that is, to give me a hard beating, and the kingdom's investment in you in the past few years has also come to bear fruit."
His Majesty Edward ordered Andrew with a serious expression.
"I will live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"
Andrew performed an ancient knightly ritual that was now abandoned by most knights, and then turned and staggered away from the lookout.
Golden armor, scarlet cloak, this powerful legion commander who was already a knight lord turned from a courtier to a decisive general after leaving the watchtower.
"Pass my order, construct the warriors into the defensive line, the flying knights and planes stand by first, the airships are loaded with bombs and take to the air to reconnoitre, prohibit them from attacking without receiving orders, and the alchemical artillery units prepare and start firing as soon as the enemy enters a thousand meters.
As for the magic legion to let them enter the magic net node to standby, their main task is to defend against enemies in the sky, as for the large targets on the ground, let them act on their own!
A series of orders were given, and the army of the Beast Blood Fortress began to work like a giant machine.
As the airship lifted off, detailed information about the orc force was heard, and with the combination of night vision magic and eagle eye magic, the observers on the airship saw a formidable army of 250,000 troops.
At the front of the team were about 20,000 orc wolf cavalry, these orcs riding on the fifth-order giant wolf were armed with spears and wearing leather armor, they were the best pursuers and vanguard in the world, the giant wolf's keen sense of smell could not only easily find the direction of the fugitive, but also rely on the smell of the wind to detect the ambush ahead.
After the orc wolf cavalry is about 100,000 orc light infantry, these orc light infantry is the main force that came to attack the beast blood fortress, until the advent of the blackbird, after the human beings perceived the true strength of the orcs, these originally human minds were bare with copper axes or maces powerful orcs were divided from the orc warriors and called light infantry.
After the orc light infantry were 50,000 orc heavy infantry, of course, these orc heavy infantry did not wrap their whole body tightly in iron cans like human heavy infantry, their configuration was half steel armor, iron helmets, spears and large swords.
The composition of the 70,000 people at the end of the orc team is more complicated, but in the last part, except for the twenty tall Beamon beasts, the others should be regarded as the baggage troops of the orc army, the monsters are dragging huge siege equipment, and wooden carts are carrying food tents.
"My lord, there are more than twice as many enemies as we are, and there are Behemoths of Behemoth."
On the walls of the Beast Blood Fortress, Andrew, who had already received the information from the airship, was discussing the battle plan with his staff.
"Twenty Beamon beasts, and a large number of siege equipment, it seems that these orcs are really coming to attack the city."
It wasn't until this time that Andrew believed that these orcs were not bored to harass the defenders, but genuinely wanted to break through the Beast Blood Fortress.
"We now have 50,000 constructed soldiers equipped with power armor, as well as a large number of artillery and aircraft, even if they are twice as many as us, it will not have much advantage, as long as we can hold out for a day, the troops stationed in the area will be reinforced, and then the victory in this battle will be ours."
Andrew carefully estimated the strength of the two sides, and immediately ordered after confirming that they could fight.
"Tell the boys, you must resist me this time, if you let the orcs cross the wall this time, then our Northwest Legion will become the laughing stock of humanity.
As for the Beamon Behemoth, tell the mages to use strategic magic to take out those hairy monsters for me when the battle begins. ” "Yes, Legionnaire!"
The herald heard that Andrew seemed to be in a good mood, and knew that the battle should be a safe and energetic salute, and then turned and trotted out to give orders.
And when the herald left, Andrew's expression became gloomy.
"Beamon giant beast, there will not be more than a hundred monsters on the entire barbarian beast plateau, this time the orcs may be really difficult to deal with" Andrew's previous ease was completely shown to the people below, but he knew the true strength of the orcs very well.
Beamon Behemoth, the most powerful monster on the ground, even if the dragon clan fights with Beamon Behemoth on the ground, it is more than win or lose, adult Beamon Behemoth is more than ten meters tall and weighs more than 100 tons, they have elephant-like trunks and thick long hair, from a distance, these Behemoths seem to be cute, but if you think so, then you are very wrong, Beamon Behemoths have scale armor defense that is not inferior to dragon scales under the long hair, and their attack power is more famous than their defense.
Beamon can stand on two legs, and when they stand like bears, their two front paws become one of the most terrifying weapons in the world, and their huge claws can easily tear apart everything in front of them, whether it is a mountain wall or a city wall, they are as fragile as tofu in front of these giant claws.
If it weren't for the very low intelligence of the Beamon Giant Beasts, even if they reached the legendary rank, these giant beasts could only simply use the law to increase their strength, and the title of the dragon race as the strongest race in this world would probably have to be replaced.

This time, the orcs were able to take out twenty Beamon Behemoths in one go, it can be said that they were determined to win the Beast Blood Fortress, twenty Legendary Rank Beamon Behemoths, even if they couldn't use the law to attack, whether the Beast Blood Fortress could defend against it was still a question, and most of the newly added weapons in the Beast Blood Fortress in recent years were used to fight against the middle and lower forces, and against the high-end combat power of the Beamon Behemoth, whether it was an airship bomb or an artillery, it was very pale and powerless.
"They must not be allowed near the walls!
How do you get rid of these big guys?
Andrew muttered to himself with a frown.
