Chapter 2740: Siege

The Unmoving City, Moon Fortress.

The once magnificent fortress was now a sea of flames on the city walls, and the Elven garrison inside was in chaos.

Under normal circumstances, with the combat proficiency of Elven warriors, this shouldn't have happened. Alas, the surprise attack came too suddenly. Before most of them could react, the enemy had already surrounded the entire fortress.

In the eight directions around Moon Fortress, there were many scout units. Alas, by the time the scout units discovered the enemy army and fired signal flares into the sky, the enemy had already arrived near the fortress. The speed of the Wolf Cavalry was truly too fast.

It could be said that when the garrison inside the fortress saw the signal flares, the Demon Flame Dragon Barbados had already flown above the fortress.

Besides these, there was another important reason why the Elven garrison was beaten silly: the Wolf Cavalry climbed directly onto the city wall.

The fortress walls were difficult to climb. Many fortress walls were engraved with spell imprints, which was the most troublesome part, especially impact spell imprints. One couldn't climb that kind of city wall at all.

The spell imprints of Moon Fortress were of the earth-vein characteristic, which was why this place was called the Unmoving City. The entire fortress was "connected" to the earth. Wanting to break through it from the front was almost impossible. Under the blessing of such spell imprints, the sturdiness of Moon Fortress's city walls was 8–10 times that of other fortresses.

Moon Fortress was difficult to break, but the problem also lay in the spell imprints on the city walls. This kind of earth-vein characteristic spell imprint caused uneven rock layers to grow on the city walls, with many fine honeycomb holes.

For Dire Wolves with sharp claws, these honeycomb holes were natural gripping points. After the Dire Wolves cooperated with the hook blades in the Gray Orcs' hands, even if this nearly hundred-meter-high city wall was vertical, the Wolf Cavalry could climb up.

It could only be said that the most powerful point of Moon Fortress was also its fatal weakness. In the past, the garrison inside the fortress would wait for the Gray Orcs to climb, then use the Gray Orcs as live targets to shoot. When the Gray Orcs were about to climb up, they would temporarily turn off the spell imprint effect, causing the outer shell of the city wall to fall off, and the Gray Orcs would fall down together.

But this time, they didn't have the chance to turn off the spell imprints at all. The mobility of the Wolf Cavalry was truly too strong, coupled with the suppression of dragon flames.

A charred smell spread in the air. The flames on the city wall gradually died down. Wolf Cavalry rushed onto the city wall and occupied the city walls on all four sides of the fortress.

Inside the fortress, after the initial panic, the Elven garrison quickly displayed their combat proficiency. All the Elves lined up in formations, ready to meet the charge.

Successive crisp sounds came from around the city wall. The earth-vein spell imprints were finally turned off. After the city wall lost its defense that could be called perverted, the rock layers on the outside fell off in large pieces. Wolf Cavalry who were still climbing fell down together with the falling rock layers, but this was no longer important.

The Wolf Cavalry on the city wall threw away the hook blades in their hands. This thing was forged specifically for Moon Fortress, and the handles were wrapped in cloth strips or tree roots, very crude.

"Hold the front and rear city gates to the death!"

Elven Elder Ruth roared. Having fought for half his life, he immediately judged the situation. It was true that the Wolf Cavalry could climb the city wall, but without the rock layers formed by the spell imprints, the probability of climbing up was not high. He was now very eager for the impact spell imprints. If there were impact-type spell imprints on the city wall, the enemy couldn't climb up at all.

Ruth clearly knew that the city gates at the front and rear of the fortress were the key now. Once those huge city gates were opened, the enemy would rush in like a floodgate, and then it would be over. They would be trapped inside the fortress and face the enemy's encirclement.

"Ha!"

The Elven warriors roared in unison. After forming formations, they all blocked around the stone steps at the foot of the city wall inside, waiting for the Wolf Cavalry to rush down, or jump directly from the city wall.

With the physique of Dire Wolves and Gray Orcs, jumping from this height was no problem as long as it wasn't head-first. If it was head-first, if they were stunned for a moment, they would be killed by the enemy.

"Prepare."

The shouts of the Elven legion commanders spread. As their hands were raised, many Elves drew their bows and arrows.

Moon Fortress was not a soft persimmon. The garrison here was 300,000, among which 20,000 were Morning Glow unit warriors. The Morning Glow unit was the strongest unit of the Elves and also the direct unit of the Elven Queen. The main force was currently guarding the Elven Forest, guarding against the Duoyin Empire, from which the combat power of this unit could be seen.

20,000 Morning Glow unit Elven warriors were currently lined up in neat square formations, guarding the inside of the city gate.

Among the large group of Elves, Elven Elder Ruth felt much more at ease after seeing the square formations of the Morning Glow unit. With this unit here, it would be very difficult for the enemy to break through the city gate.

Wolf Cavalry had already rushed down from the city wall and launched a surprise attack on the Elves inside the city. Their goal was very clear: to open the city gate and let their own troops in completely.

Boom!

A loud noise came from outside the city gate. The Wolf Cavalry had already begun to ram the city gate from the outside.

About 50,000 Wolf Cavalry had climbed onto the city wall. These 50,000 Wolf Cavalry turned into streams of floods, rushed down along the stone stairs inside the city wall, and charged toward the enemy army.

"Charge and prepare to meet the attack!"

The Elves who had built the defense line roared. The warriors in the front row stood large wooden shields in front of them. This was the Holy Brown Wood, a specialty of the Elven Forest, which was lightweight while having extremely strong defensive power and toughness.

Because the large shields blocked their vision, the Elven warriors in the front row could only hear a rush of footsteps coming from the front, and then saw saw-blade broadswords or war hammers attacking from above their heads.

Bang, bang...

The sounds of smashing and hacking continued non-stop. The Wolf Cavalry ignored the shield defense. The Dire Wolves leaped up, and the Gray Orcs on their backs used downward smashes or downward slashes to attack the Elven warriors located behind the shields.

Blood splashed everywhere, and Elven warriors fell down screaming, with broken limbs everywhere.

Like a hot knife through butter, a large area of Elven warriors defending on the periphery fell. Facts proved that arrows were not suitable for use in this terrain. Fighting inside the fortress, it was difficult to carry out precise volleys with arrows.

More than 50,000 Wolf Cavalry rushed down from the city wall and almost surrounded the garrison inside the fortress. In fact, the number of their own combat power was not 50,000, but 100,000. Dire Wolves were not just mounts; they were also combat power.

A tragic siege war began. Looking down from above, one would find that the defense line formed by the Elves inside the fortress was very firm. Except for the Elves fighting hand-to-hand with the Wolf Cavalry on the periphery, many Elves in the inner circle were standing above the buildings inside the fortress, shooting arrows at the surrounding Wolf Cavalry.

The Elven garrison was very firm, that was true, but nearly 280,000 Elven warriors were gathered together and couldn't exert their full combat power at all. Losing the city wall defense line was truly too fatal.

As the war gradually became heated, the combat power gap between the two sides became exceptionally obvious. If an Elven warrior fought one-on-one with a Wolf Cavalry, at most 30 seconds later, that Elf would likely die or be seriously injured.

When defending against the Gray Orcs' attacks, there was no time to block the Dire Wolves' biting. The War Lord's bonus was not given for nothing.

The only ones who could block the Wolf Cavalry were the Morning Glow unit near the city gate. They could fight the Wolf Cavalry to a draw.

These Morning Glow warriors were all agile. After slashing a few times with the exquisite war knives in their hands, they immediately sheathed their knives and leaped back, unstringing the strong bows on their backs to shoot a few arrows, making it impossible to defend against.

With a boom, a war hammer swung down, smashing the head of a Morning Glow warrior. It was Orc Hero Wopol. The Morning Glow warriors couldn't block him.

Orc Hero Wopol patted the Dire Wolf beneath him and was about to lead his personal guards to charge toward the city gate when a sword mark slashed over.

Clang!

Sparks splashed. The war hammer in Wopol's hand blocked in front of him. He shifted his gaze and saw an Elf holding a wind-patterned sword and carrying a strong bow.

"Spirit Warrior Alog."

Wopol grinned. That face covered in scars looked very violent.

"You, you are not a nobody."

Spirit Warrior Alog's expression was serious, looking at Wopol very vigilantly.

"I'm just a small person."

Wopol, riding the Dire Wolf, suddenly disappeared from where he was. An alchemy array appeared on his upper arm. He had heard of the great name of Spirit Warrior Alog, so he had to go all out.

Boom!!

With Wopol as the center, a gale spread to the surroundings, and large cracks appeared on the ground.

With a thud, half of Spirit Warrior Alog's body hit the city wall in the distance. He raised his already broken hand, and in those trembling pupils, there was full disbelief.

A large hand reached out to grab Spirit Warrior Alog's neck, lifted him up, and also snapped his neck.

"Spirit Warrior Alog, dead!"

Wopol shouted while holding Spirit Warrior Alog's corpse, and the other Wolf Cavalry around cheered while raising the weapons in their hands.

"Roar!"

A dragon roar came from above. Demon Flame Dragon Barbados ignored the arrows attacking from below and spat dragon flames at a large area inside the city gate.

After half a minute of dragon flame spitting, 20,000 Morning Glow warriors were more than half dead. They didn't even have a place to hide. This terrain inside the fortress was too suitable for spitting dragon flames.

"Those who aren't afraid of death, charge with me."

Before the dragon flames had dissipated, Wopol led thousands of Wolf Cavalry to charge, heading straight for the main gate of the fortress.

This group of Wolf Cavalry vaguely formed a cone-shaped formation. Wopol was the sharpest tip of the cone formation. Behind him were two Wolf Cavalry, then three behind them, and so on.

Once the Wolf Cavalry charged, they couldn't be blocked by the Morning Glow unit. Even if they were the elite unit of the Elves, they were better at fighting in the forest.

After a charge of slaughter, Wopol forcibly rushed to below the city gate. Soon, the city gate slowly rose, and the Wolf Cavalry outside the city gate swarmed in.

Like opening a floodgate, a flood rushed in.

Inside the Elven army, after Elven Elder Ruth saw this scene and looked at the Elven warriors retreating steadily on the periphery, the individual combat power of the two sides was simply not on the same level. What was even more fatal was that the enemy was orderly, which was not the Chaos Legion he had in mind.

"I am Elven Elder Ruth! Which Grand Lord is attacking Moon Fortress?"

Ruth's shout attracted Wopol's attention.

"War."

"..."

Ruth thought for a few seconds, and finally, he tidied up his somewhat wrinkled clothes and said: "I represent Moon Fortress and surrender to the Chaos Legion."

The Elves were very arrogant, but it also depended on when. Not long ago, Ruth received a war report that their "Flame Valley Fortress" had been broken by the War Demon, and the outcome was very miserable.

"What did you say? Too far, can't hear clearly."

Wopol said this, but waved his hand, signaling his Wolf Cavalry to continue killing. ===== CHAPTER 2741 =====

Walpole said this, then waved his hand, signaling his own wolf cavalry to continue the slaughter.
