Elite Mages’ Academy

Chapter 240: The beginning of the war (1)

The so-called misfortune does not come singly. In the headquarters, while contemporary squad leaders were still arguing about the identity of the fleet outside, someone hurriedly opened the door and reported that a beacon had been lit by a post.

Everyone’s unsightly complexion instantly became worse. They set up an early warning mechanism similar to a beacon tower at the outpost to be able to warn the enemy’s invasion in advance. But when the warning comes, no one will. So happy.

The entire fort has been plunged into a frenzy that is almost chaotic. They had already done a lot of mobilization in their respective classes in the first two days. Everyone did not say that they were not mentally prepared, but the situation is a bit different now. The silver fleet next to them is Completely unplanned.

What makes everyone feel relieved is that after the fleet of suspected elves stopped not far away, there were no other actions. Not only did they not use long-range weapons or spells to attack, but they did not send people ashore. Originally, the headquarters was discussing whether it was necessary. They took the initiative to send someone to negotiate in the past, but now the orcs' sudden attack made them temporarily give up this plan.

Regardless of the attitude and position of this fleet towards Dawn Academy, as long as they can continue to keep onlookers like this, it will be enough until the end of the exam.

Although many people think this idea is not very reliable, but at the moment, they really can't think of a better way.

The people who arranged the reconnaissance returned quickly. The defense they had done a few days ago was still effective. They arranged manpower to use the farsighted scroll around the outpost to reconnaissance around the clock. After discovering the enemy, they first used the beacon to notify the people in the fort, and then rushed back to report specifically.

As expected, the orcs’ wolf cavalry units are coming here, but the number is not very large. According to the rough statistics of observers, the number is about three or four hundred, but they are next to the wolf cavalry. Nearly 3,000 fully armed orc infantrymen are on the march.

"Wolf cavalry I can understand. If you march at full speed, you can go in the morning and at night. But I can't understand the orc infantry. Why are they also here at the same time." Xiao Lin stared at the people who came back from reconnaissance, hoping to get Confirmation of this information.

"Hey! You also gave the farsighted scroll. How could the intelligence be wrong!" The scout was from another class. Hearing Xiao Lin's question, the monitor of this class naturally refused to agree.

Xiao Lin shook his head and sighed, "It's not against him, but it's very strange. The reason why I paid so much attention to reconnaissance before. I just wanted to determine the enemy's movements. The intelligence returned from reconnaissance is that there are no orc military camps around. Where did the orc infantry suddenly emerge from?"

"The little jungle nearby?" Fame asked in confusion.

"The jungle is not big. If we passed there, our outpost would have found it long ago."

"But if they lie in ambush in the jungle ahead of time, just wait for the right time, for example, when the wolf cavalry arrives, and then cooperate with them to rush out?" Xiao Lin's words made everyone's expressions even worse.

If this inference is true, then we are closer to the previous question. From the beginning, the orcs expected that they would engage in this landing battle?

With a heavy heart. Everyone quietly waited for the enemy's arrival on the city.

Near noon, no one on the top of the city shouted: "Come!"

The mighty army of orcs is getting closer and closer. This is a unit that is truly made up of orcs. There is no murloc army. Several squad leaders such as Xiao Lin have torn apart the farsighted scroll. Under the action of the scroll, these The brown orc was more clear, even the breath exhaling from his nostrils could be seen clearly.

boom!

They set up a large number of traps on the road leading to the foot of the mountain. The wolf cavalry brigade, which did not have the slightest tendency to slow down, first detonated the flame traps. These traps made of flammable materials would cause instantaneous flames of extremely high temperature when triggered. Even the thick skin of an orc can't stop the direct burning of spell flames, and the wolf ride itself is a creature that fears flames.

The flames were everywhere, and the wolf cavalry formation immediately became chaotic. The wolf cavalry also became irritable, but the orcs were also well-trained. If they stopped rashly at this time, they would only involve the infantry behind. The forward wolf cavalry not only did not stop, but gradually charged up.

The orc's high fighting spirit surprised everyone slightly. Although those cavalry are wearing armor, they lack magical defense, they can't resist the flame erosion, especially the heavier armor, when it is burned red and hot by the instant high temperature, it is alive on the body, especially in the farsighted scroll. Xiao Lin and the others couldn’t help feeling a hairy feeling all over their bodies when they looked at the steaming smoke. In their eyes, it seemed that they even felt painful~lightnovelpub.net~ But even so, those orcs Still howling and not flinching, their pupils were bloodshot, waving their weapons, and rushing towards the fortress madly regardless of the flames and burns on their bodies.

But the traps they set are far more than these. Behind the flame trap is the thorn trap. Those barbs coated with venom gave the most deadly blow to the orcs and wolf cavalry who were triggered by serious injuries.

These venoms were turned out from the warehouse of the fortress. They don’t know how strong the poison is. Now it seems that the effect is really good. The wolf riders who were caught in the soles of the feet by the barbs turned forward and backward, twitching and curling up on the ground, blinking There was foam at the corner of his mouth, and there was no more breath.

The overthrown orcs were not strong enough to resist toxicity. They did not support it for too long, and they also died.

The momentum of more than four hundred wolf cavalry charging at the same time is actually very strong. Many people in the fort have only watched the cavalry charging pictures on TV dramas in their lives. When suddenly faced with this kind of brown wind that is like an overwhelming brown wind, Even if they were guarding the city, many people couldn't help showing timidity.

But in less than ten minutes, the four hundred wolf cavalry have been wiped out, and there are only a few that can stand on the horse. Many people have clapped their hands and cheered. These days they have worked hard every day to lay traps and build defense towers. , Now the hard work has finally paid off, and I feel proud.

"I really thought we were bullies!"

"Even if it's an orc, it's not a disadvantage!"

"Hahaha, I feel that maybe we can really defend it, maybe!"

...

The morale of the people who used the trap to shame the orcs was also refreshed, and the mood swings of these battlefield rookies were still very serious. ) Book friends hurry up and pay attention!
