Chapter 257: The War Begins It is always the warrior who dominates the battlefield on the battlefield rather than the magician, although the magic of the magician is powerful, but their magic and mental power always make them retreat in the middle of the battlefield, at the beginning of the war, the orc side and the human side are starting to test each other from a long-range attack, and two hundred crystal-tailed dragons entered the range of howitzers under the cover of the same number of elven magicians.
After seeing the appearance of those earth dragons that could shoot terrible flames, Duke Rees immediately ordered the howitzer battalion erected on the city wall to fire at the crystal tailed dragon, and with the roar from the city wall, some shining light points streaked across the sky and rushed out of the city, but those cannonballs that whiled in an arc and pounced on the crystal tail dragon cluster did not successfully hit the crystal tail dragon, and they were hit by some beams in the sky still far away from the crystal tail dragon and detonated.
The Moon Elf mages put down their raised hands, the heat around them that had not yet dissipated was explaining the origin of those beams just now, the mage legion that originally belonged to the Elven Queen had now converted to the Moon God, and the surging magic on their bodies made these elves fearless even in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, after standing on the back of the Crystal Tail Dragon and shooting down the cannonballs, the orcs who were still cowering immediately shouted and drove the Crystal Tail Dragon to speed up towards the city of Torriso.
"Attack with all your might, you must not let them come!"
The officers on the artillery position roared loudly, all the artillery used their fastest speed, and in the bitter cold of the winter morning, a cold metal shell was stuffed into the cannon to create a roar, and everyone in the entire artillery position sweated like rain.
After all, the attack speed of human artillery is still much faster than the magic of the elves, and the cannonballs that fall like rain are impossible to resist all of them even if the magic power of the moon elf mages is abundant and how fast they cast spells, and only half of the two hundred crystal-tailed dragons were left when they rushed to a distance of two kilometers from the city wall, and the other crystal-tailed dragons had already been killed by the artillery on the way to the charge.
The crystal-tailed dragons who finally came within striking distance immediately raised their tails, and the black flames brewing from the huge crystal swooped down like a meteor shower towards the walls of Torizo.
"Magical Defense!"
The human mages who had already been ready for a long time had already stood on the magic node, and with the order of a great mage, these mages immediately released the defensive magic specially prepared for war in their magic seals, a continuous defensive enchantment, because all the mages adjusted their mental fluctuations to a state that could resonate with the magic web, the defensive enchantment they cast would not only not contradict each other, Instead, they will merge together to form a joint enchantment that allows the mages to share the damage.
A curved blue dome appeared above the city walls, and the demonic fire emitted by the Crystal-tailed Dragon created countless ripples on the magical defense barrier like rain beating on transparent glass.
With the exception of a few misfired rain of fire that fell behind the walls and set fire to the civilian areas near the walls, the defense was textbook-perfect.
However, despite the perfect defense, the troops on the walls found that they had problems in attacking.
The position of the Crystal Tailed Dragon is that the howitzer can no longer attack, and the rifle cannot create effective damage at this distance, the open space on the city wall is limited, in order to be able to place more howitzers, the cannons used in the past have been removed and stored in the warehouse, and now the position where the Crystal Tail Dragon is located is like a snake's seven inches, which makes the soldiers of Toriso City depressed, except for the magic attack of the magician, there seems to be no other way to eliminate the other party without opening the city gate.
"Can't those cannons be used flat?"
Duke Rees asked the alchemist beside him.
"My lord, the howitzer was not designed to shoot diagonally downward."
The alchemist alchemist said with some shame.
"Is that so?
Then send the air force to attack!
Duke Reece frowned, and then immediately decided.
With the order of the Duke of Reese, a few minutes after the Crystal-tailed Dragons attacked the city wall with a rain of fire, about two hundred propeller fighters swooped down and rushed towards those Crystal-tailed Dragons, four hundred bombs were dropped, and the elven mages who faced the bombs falling in the sky immediately began to chant magic spells.
The flames and frost exploded in the air, but the magic did not intercept the bombs made of disgusting metal with their shells, and the bombs passed through the magic flames unharmed and exploded a few meters above the ground, even if the moon elf mages cast defensive magic, the crystal-tailed dragon still suffered heavy casualties for a while.
The human side of the wall cheered again, and when the beast dragons on the orc side chased after them, the fighters all turned and fled into the air defense range of the city of Toriso again.
"Another failed temptation."
Flower smiled self-deprecatingly, then gave the order to his herald for a general attack, and after making sure that there were no gaps in the defense of the front of the city of Toriso that could be exploited, Flower could only choose the frontal attack that he was least willing to use.
To the sound of war drums, the orc army began to move, and these orcs began to charge with all their might from the moment they stepped beyond the limits of human firepower.
And the beast dragons in the sky also began to rush towards the city of Toriso, using their lives to buy time for the orc charge.
"The beast god is above!"
The orcs, who had never lacked fighting spirit, shouted with their weapons held high in the middle of the army, and the artillery of the humans on the opposite side sounded unsurprisingly.
Howitzer shells fell from the sky with a piercing screech and exploded in the ranks of the orcs, and the orcs were hit by shrapnel and fell to the ground, and then trampled into a pulp by the orcs who followed closely behind.
The tsunami-like orcs are not afraid of death, and they now have only one goal, which is to rush to the city wall and fight refreshmently, and it doesn't matter what their fate is.
"Fire!
Fire!
In the face of a sudden general attack on the opposite side, the artillerymen on the city wall tried their best to launch an artillery attack, but no matter how selfless they worked, the howitzers contained in the narrow space on the city wall were still not enough to kill all the orcs from a few kilometers away.
In the air, the beast dragons had already come to the sky above the city of Toriso before the orcs, and under the pursuit of the anti-aircraft cannon like a chain of fire, there were constantly beast dragons being hit and falling in the city, but there were still a certain number of beast dragons who successfully dodged the attack and swooped down on the city wall.
As soon as he reached the city wall, the beast dragons spewed red and black dragon flames at the soldiers who rushed towards him, and these flames mixed with the power of hell turned the soldiers who rushed to the front into torches, and then the battle between the giant beasts and humans officially began this tragic battle that would later be known as the Flesh Mill.
In order to defend against the attack of the orcs, all the elite warriors in the city of Toriso were sent to the city wall to wait, when the beast dragons pounced on the city wall, in the small space on the city wall, those warriors wearing power armor wielded big swords and the giant beast was completely fighting for their lives, although the destruction of the beast dragon was quickly stopped, but the casualties of the soldiers on the city wall were also rising.
When Duke Rees saw this, he immediately ordered the magicians to use powerful magic to kill the beast dragon immediately.
After receiving the order, under the protection of the knights, the magicians standing at the node of the magic net began to cast war magic, under their control, the magic of the magic net turned into a deadly bow and arrow to break through the beast dragons raging on the city wall, and the spiritual power of these magicians is also declining, I am afraid that in the next battle, it will be difficult for them to play any role.
At the same time, the charging orcs had already reached the city, and a completely hard-fought offensive and defensive battle began without any tricks.
In the full six hours of flesh and blood, the orcs lost 100,000 soldiers under the city of Toriso, more than 300 beast dragons and crystal tail dragons, and the human side still lost 70,000 soldiers even if it took advantage of the city wall, this battle was exhausted by both sides, the commanders of the two sides had a tacit understanding to enter the rest time, the orcs retreated back to the camp seven kilometers away to recharge their strength, and the human side not only had to hurry up to treat the wounded, but also repair the broken city wall.
"My little Alex, are you alright!?"
Just as the Duke of Rees was discussing the next battle with the officers in the lord's mansion, a rough woman's voice came from outside, and then a middle-aged woman in heavy armor kicked open the door and rushed in.
"My dear aunt, I'm not a child anymore, stop calling me little Alex."
Duke Reese held his forehead and complained to the middle-aged woman with a headache.

"You little bastard, my aunt hurts you in vain, isn't it just that tens of thousands of soldiers have died, do you need to put on a dead face, and when the war starts, my aunt will take people to raid their boss, as long as their boss is dead, those bastard orcs will go back to their hometown by themselves."
The middle-aged woman stretched out her hand and twisted Duke Reese's ear and said domineeringly, but Duke Reece dared to be angry.
All the officers and attendants present looked up at the sky as if they had nothing to do with themselves, and no one dared to disobey this aunt of the Duke of Reese.
On the side of the orc camp, the dragon slayer suddenly appeared in Flower's tent.
"This is the oracle of the beast god?"
After receiving the beautifully decorated golden scroll, Flower did not open it to look at it, but asked the dragon slayer master with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"The command of the beast god, all orcs must obey."
The dragon-slayer's cat-like golden pupils hidden under his cloak radiated a dangerous glow, a feeling that made Flower realize that if he didn't follow the Beast God's orders, the legendary powerhouse would most likely kill him immediately.
"I will obey the oracle of the beast god."
Flower finally chose to give in, and then after the Dragon Slayer Master left, Flower opened the golden scroll, and after reading the golden scroll's command, Flower took out the letter given to him by the Beastmaster Carlos, and the young orc shaman's heart was full of hesitation.
