Chapter 452: Blow Down the City Wall!

"What in the blazes are these damned humans doing?"

"Chief, I… I don't know either!"

"Fool! Since you don't know, then beat the hell out of them! Smash that wooden shed down and we'll see what the hell they're up to!"

"Chief, I just sent over two hundred orc warriors and more than a thousand servant soldiers, but those strange human weapons outside the city are really too powerful…"

"Fool! Just because the humans are powerful means we don't have to fight? Keep sending orc warriors and servant soldiers forward. Do you know what Chief Morar's order is?"

"It is to hold these damned two-legged sheep at any cost, even if we have to sacrifice more. Do you understand?"

"Y-yes, Chief… I'll go arrange it right now!" The subordinate nodded repeatedly under the orc chief's scolding, then cried out, "Oh, Chief, look! Those humans are running!"

However, just then, the subordinate caught sight of Gervas's group retreating and immediately cried out in delighted surprise.

The orc chief was also stunned at the sight, and a weight lifted from his heart.

Of course, his face remained dark.

"Fool! Just because they've retreated means everything's fine? Can't you see that wooden shed is still at the wall corner? Why don't you take advantage of them having no cover and gather men immediately to destroy that shed?!"

"Yes! Yes! Chief, I'll go right now!" The subordinate dared not linger a moment longer and hurried off into the distance to gather men.

"Fool!" the orc chief cursed in anger.

Of course, what he was really angry about was those damned human two-legged sheep outside the city.

Although he couldn't make sense of the humans' actions, he always felt something was off.

And just then, he suddenly saw another human dash out from beneath that wooden shed.

Counting the numbers, there shouldn't be many people left under that shed, right?

By now, even those strange great bows and black iron pipes had been withdrawn.

"You fools, hurry up!" Seeing this, the orc chief couldn't help urging his subordinate again.

"Yes, Chief!"

The orc subordinate in the distance dared not delay, and quickly led a large contingent rapidly toward the wall where the wooden shed stood.

And the orc chief naturally did not know that his urging was actually sending his own subordinate into the abyss.

"Oh! My lord, look at those orcs!"

And the orcs' bizarre behavior naturally also fell into the eyes of Gervas and his group.

Seeing that group of orcs scrambling over each other to reach the top of the wooden shed, Gervas truly didn't know what to say.

This was simply an old birthday star hanging himself — tired of living!

Just then, Knight Mi Gen also hurried back!

"Mi Gen, is the fuse lit?"

"My lord, it's done!"

"Very well, then let's wait and see!"

With that, everyone stared fixedly at the city wall, eyes filled with anticipation.

Gervas was the same. Although he had confidence, this was after all the first time he had made such a 'big firecracker,' and one made from a simple tree stump at that, so he couldn't be a hundred percent certain how powerful it would be.

Boom!

And just as Gervas was thinking this, he suddenly felt the ground tremble, and a muffled boom came from underground.

Before anyone could react further, the city wall where the wooden shed stood was seen to shudder as well, then suddenly collapse downward toward the ground.

Of course, that collapse lasted only a split second.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The next instant, a heaven-shaking scene appeared: the city wall where the wooden shed stood violently blew apart, accompanied by a tremendous roar.

Under that roar, the once-solid earthen wall was instantly hurled aloft by some invisible great force, splitting into dozens or hundreds of chunks that were then flung into the sky.

The surrounding dirt and debris flew everywhere, splashing up to a height of twenty or thirty meters.

As for those orcs, except for human shadows visible at the instant of the explosion, they completely vanished into the shattered sand and earth afterward.

"Th-this…"

Knight Mi Gen and the others trembled and retreated several meters before stopping.

Then, everyone stared dumbfounded at what lay ahead, their faces turning deathly pale.

"Shocking, isn't it?" Gervas, on the other hand, quickly came back to himself.

After all, compared to those famous historical explosion disasters on short videos in his previous life, this was far too commonplace.

So, apart from a brief thrill, Gervas really had no extra emotions.

"Sh-shocking, my lord, truly too shocking. If we hadn't made that tree stump ourselves and sent it in, I would have truly taken it for divine punishment!"

"Exactly! That blast was powerful enough to blow down the city wall — that's incredible!"

"Right! This is absolutely the most unbelievable thing we've ever seen in our lives!"

The knights exclaimed one after another, and even Knight Captain Lei Meng nodded repeatedly, clearly equally stunned by the explosion just now.

"Ha ha!" Gervas laughed heartily, quietly enjoying the sense of superiority that being a transmigrator brought.

"Wait… did we forget something?" At this moment, Knight Mi Gen suddenly furrowed his brow.

"If I'm not mistaken, isn't it that the wall has fallen but we haven't started attacking yet?" Lei Meng answered upon hearing this.

Knight Mi Gen slapped his forehead. "Exactly, that's it. My lord, the wall has fallen and we're still standing here stunned — wouldn't that make us the fools?!"

"Ha ha! No need to rush — if even you lot are that surprised, just imagine how much more shocked those orcs must be! So if you organize the attack right now, there's still time!"

"Yes, my lord!" Lei Meng and the others naturally delayed no longer, and swiftly began issuing the charge order.

As before, the knights took the lead, with the other guards close behind.

Of course, this time within Snowfield City they not only had the advantage in numbers, but also twenty Bloodsucking Bat Knights in the air, so they were not to be underestimated.

"Artillery squad, immediately follow the plan and lie in ambush in the forest, ready for battle!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Immediately, the three cannons also swiftly headed toward a not particularly dense grove of low trees on the side.

……

Facing the ferocious charge of the Storm Legion, the orcs at this moment were indeed, just as Gervas had predicted, still far from recovering from their earlier shock.

Even the orc chieftain was no exception.

After all, what had just happened truly exceeded his comprehension.

Especially because he had been watching the wooden shed, he had personally witnessed the entire process of the great explosion.

Such a thick city wall had actually been blown open directly; the earthen wall with a gap spanning at least fifteen meters had already collapsed.

Although it was only an earthen wall, this was absolutely not something that could be done casually.

So, how did these humans manage it?

Why was there such a terrifying power?!

"Hahaha! Green-skinned monster orcs, tremble! That is the divine punishment of our God of Glory, specially used to deal with orcs like you!"

"Hahaha! That's right, green-skinned monster orcs, feel the fear! Now, it's our turn to harvest you!"

At this moment, the orc chieftain's ears, which had been temporarily deafened by the huge blast, finally recovered slightly, and then he faintly heard the shouting.

Instantly, the orc chieftain's pupils began to contract, and he was suddenly jolted awake.
