Chapter 2729: Siege

War zone, southwest direction, Yangu Fortress.

Dark clouds covered the sky. In the distance, "Yangu Fortress" stood tall. On the city wall nearly a hundred meters high around it, there were pits and burn marks, as well as large patches of dried blood. A sense of killing rushed toward him.

This fortress belonging to the Elf race had a total garrison of over 200,000. Because this was the front-line fortress, only a few thousand Elf civilians lived here. Their existence was necessary. The shops they opened here provided the garrison with rare entertainment activities.

It was rumored that the Elf race's behavior was elegant, their gaze was sharp, like children of the forest. In reality, there were quite a few brothels inside "Yangu Fortress," but they were just in a fresher style, that was all.

If the Elf race were really that fresh and refined, tired of war, they would have stayed in the Aier Great Forest all along, instead of coming out together to carve up the territory of the Chaos Legion.

Su Xiao stood on the canopy of a war treant, looking at "Yangu Fortress" ten kilometers away. He was waiting for Baja's reconnaissance information. If there were no large enemy troops around, he would start the war immediately.

Compared to Baja's reconnaissance, something Bubu Wang was doing was also very important. It had already sneaked near "Yangu Fortress." Whether it could complete that thing concerned whether "Yangu Fortress" could be taken down.

【Prompt: Main Mission: First Ring (Completed), you have regained the position of Chaos Legion Great Lord.】

【You obtained Real Attribute Points x5.】

【Main Mission: Second Ring has been activated.】

【Main Mission: War Demon (Second Ring)】

Mission Information: As a War Demon, you can capture any place, provided you can do it.

Mission Deadline: 15 natural days.

Mission Reward: Determined based on the range of territory captured.

Mission Penalty: Forced execution.

Seeing the information of the second ring of the main mission, Su Xiao knew that it was time to play freely. This time, the War Merit Ranking was destined not to have too strong a target for the first few rings of the main mission.

A total of 527 contractors arrived in the Canglong Continent this time. The goal of more than 80% of them should be the front-line war zone. In 1-2 days, this place would become very lively.

Up to now, there shouldn't be any contractors who had joined the Chaos Legion. The situation of the Chaos Legion was too unstable.

The sound of breaking wind came from above. It was Baja returning. There were troops of the Six-Race Alliance around, but there were no large troops. The largest unit had a strength of about 60,000.

After confirming this point, Su Xiao decided to launch a strong attack on "Yangu Fortress" immediately.

"Woboer."

"Lord, I am here."

Woboer's shout came. For some reason, there was a slight tremor in his shout.

"Assemble all troops, charge toward Yangu Fortress."

"As you command."

Woboer carried his war hammer, walked through the Orc soldiers, and rushed forward with big strides. In just a few seconds, a heavy knocking sound came.

"Ah!!"

High-pitched

"Roar!"

The Gray Orcs habitually roared before the battle. They bared their sharp teeth, and stringy saliva flew from their mouths.

Rumble...

The ground began to tremble. 500 Ancient Tree tribe members charged side-by-side at the very front. Apart from being somewhat afraid of fire, these War Treants had no obvious weaknesses. Their height of 8-10 meters, as well as their massive, tree-like bodies, made them natural shields.

The War Treants charged in front, and 300,000 orc soldiers formed a torrent, following in a large row behind. There was no need for supervision at all; without the War Treants blocking, the elves' arrow rain was too lethal.

Hum~

The sound of a horn appeared within the "Yan Valley Fortress." On the hundred-meter-high city wall, there were concave low walls, just enough for two rows of elves to pull bows and shoot arrows in half-squatting and standing postures respectively.

Behind them, there were also several rows of stepped wooden racks, with over a dozen rows of elves standing on them, using bows and arrows to attack the enemies under the city wall.

In addition to the elves above the city wall, at this time, on the front of the city wall, one after another observation ports were opened, and arrow after arrow poked out from within.

Looking from above, at this time, the front city wall of the "Yan Valley Fortress" was like a nail board. The elves were good at using bows and arrows + light weapons for close combat; they would naturally push their advantages to the limit.

Above the city wall, a male elf with a handsome appearance, long golden hair, and wearing a crown was overlooking the scene below. He was the Elf Prince Valun, one of the contenders for the next Elf King.

Judging by Valun's current reputation and achievements, his succession sequence ranked third, so he voluntarily petitioned to come to the "Yan Valley Fortress," arriving at the very front line of the war zone.

Overlooking the War Treants charging below, as well as the orc soldiers that could not be seen to the end, there was a trace of pity in Valun's eyes.

"Being born as a lowly race is your greatest sin."

Just as Elf Prince Valun's words fell, continuous bowstring vibrations spread out.

Bang bang bang...

Arrow after arrow flew out. These arrows were not shot at the orcs at the very front, but formed a parabolic shape, drawing an arc in mid-air before coming toward the orc army in the middle of their charge.

According to common sense, the kinetic energy of this kind of arrow falling in a parabolic shape was simply insufficient to pierce the bodies of the Gray Orcs, but just when these arrows had signs of falling, bursts of wind-whistling sounds appeared.

Only to see that the exterior of these arrows had partially shattered, causing the arrow shafts to form a spiral shape, and the green crystals on the tail exploded, re-endowing these arrows with extremely strong kinetic energy, causing the overall trajectory of the shooting to appear in a Λ-shape, attacking the orc warriors from top to bottom.

It can only be said that the Elf tribe was simply too wealthy. As conventional weapons, the arrows were so exquisitely crafted, and the shooting range was somewhat exaggerated.

Puchi, puchi...

A large number of spiral arrows were nailed into the ground, most of which pierced through the bodies of the Gray Orcs. In an instant, a large area of the charging orc army fell, and the miserable wails were endless.

It was no wonder that the Chaos Legion could not take down the "Yan Valley Fortress." At this time, the Gray Orc army was just a living target, with no possibility of fighting back at all.

The Chaos Legion didn't want to get long-range weapons? Of course not. Food and clothing were already a problem; long-range weapons could only be a luxury. They once had them, but now they were gone.

Facing this situation, the charging Gray Orcs were not afraid; they were already used to it. After rushing to the bottom of the city wall, they would still have to be shot and killed for several rounds, and then step on the corpses of their own kin to climb onto the city wall. This was the strategy they used last time.

"My kin, charge with me!"

Walpol, who was charging at the very front, roared. His eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible power. This feeling was as if he could even knock a hole in the distant city wall.

Round after round of arrow rain attacked, and the charging orc army suffered heavy casualties. Morale slipped at a rate of 6-10 points per minute. At this stage, it could not be counted as a war at all, but a one-sided slaughter of the orc army by the elf garrison.

The elves on the city wall looked coldly at the scene below. They nocked arrows and pulled bows in an orderly manner, their side faces pressed tightly against the bowstrings, waiting for the order to volley, carrying out the fifth round of volleying.

The orc unit from a few days ago had hard-topped nine rounds of volleying before rushing to the bottom of the city wall. Today's should be elite, as they had rushed to within two kilometers after only five rounds of volleying.

Just as a new round of volleying was about to begin, all the elf warriors on the city wall felt their hair stand on end.

The volleying was forced to stop. Elf Prince Valun no longer overlooked the scene below with eyes full of pity. He loudly ordered his personal guards to immediately conduct a search of the city wall, and he himself followed the stone stairs on the inside of the city wall and rushed down with large strides.

Almost at the same time, the War Treants charging at the very front stopped. They quickly took root and intertwined with each other. This was the order Su Xiao had given them before the battle. Commanding 500 War Treants was much simpler than commanding 300,000 orc warriors.

Several hundred War Treants almost formed a wall, forcibly blocking the orc army of their own side, which was like a tide behind them. Some orcs were almost squeezed to the point of shitting, and the screams and curses were endless.

Their own army stopped abruptly, and the enemy's city wall was in a mess. This strange scene lasted for about ten seconds or so.

Thud!

A loud noise came from within the city wall directly in front of the "Yan Valley Fortress." Due to the explosion from the inside, the hundred-meter-high city wall shattered instantly, and the rubble splashed like flowers scattered by a goddess.

Golden flames rose up. Due to the city wall's compression of the explosion, the flames formed after the 【Apollo of the Sun's Wrath】 exploded, combined with the splashing rubble around it, were like a golden flower of the other shore, gorgeous yet lethal.

On the open space inside the fortress, Elf Prince Valun looked at the gorgeous flower in front of him. He was shocked by the beautiful scenery before his eyes for a moment, and then anger surged in his heart.

"Give me, kill all these lowly orcs!"
