Chapter 159: Siege and the sudden disappearing enemy

After seeing the failure of the first wave of offense, Sim waved his hand expressionlessly. Hundreds of giants behind began to pull the oversized catapult, slowly advancing forward, followed by many guys responsible for carrying stones. Henry was shocked when he saw this huge siege weapon. If he was hit by a rock of this size, he would be seriously injured even if he had a protective spell.

Heim calmly commanded the dwarves to start pulling the bowstrings of the ballista, and soon a thick arrow was shot from a height. Several catapults were destroyed in a single salvo, and after several rounds of attacks, the enemy's equipment lost more than one-third before reaching range.

Although these volleys were very effective, there were still a large number of catapults entering the launch position. The orc quickly put the oversized stone in his hand, and the giant in front pulled the rope vigorously. Pieces of boulders were sent into the air by mechanical power, tracing a long parabola, and flying towards the city wall.

"Everyone pay attention to avoid! Keep firing the ballista, and quickly kill all these catapults for me!" Haim shouted to all the soldiers.

As soon as his words fell, a huge boulder fell from the sky and hit the city wall, and the five human soldiers instantly turned into fleshy flesh. Henry saw this situation without saying anything, and immediately blessed himself with "flying skills" and "advanced invisibility skills", and then flew over the catapult silently. He successively released several "fire wall art" at the sling. The wooden equipment was quickly ignited, and the raging fire soon burned.

After Henry saw his attack worked, he turned and flew towards the city wall. Suddenly an arrow flew behind him, braving the blue magic aura, and it penetrated the position of the "protective long-range weapon" and directly inserted it on the shoulder. The magic power on this arrow dispelled his invisibility effect, and everyone saw a wounded mage in mid-air. The orc archers opened their bows one after another, and the rain of arrows engulfed them in an instant.

Just when the people on the wall were squeezing a cold sweat, Henry unhurriedly released a six-level spell "death" at the sneak attack guy, and the power of magic instantly included this guy, as well as The orcs in a radius of about ten meters were killed. Seeing that the arrow is about to fall. He immediately activated the "Any Door" scroll in his hand, and in the blink of an eye he passed through this portal back to the city wall.

Sim's face became very ugly, and the guy who was killed was an archer he had carefully trained for many years. You must know that the guy killed by the "death technique" can't be resurrected by the magic technique. People who die under this spell can only be reborn again through the "wish spell". It's a pity that the orcs haven't seen any great mage so far, and there are almost few apprentices of mage.

Seeing that the second round of attacks failed. The one-eyed orc warrior crushed a wine glass made of skulls in his hand. He stood angrily and stared fiercely at the distant city wall. After a while, the anger in his eyes gradually subsided.

"Retreat! Let everyone return to the camp to continue logging, and wait until tomorrow when the catapult is ready for the next attack." After saying that Sim dropped the crushed bone scraps in his hand and moved towards his tent. Go.

Sackm followed carefully. However, the corners of his mouth were still slightly upturned inadvertently. This defeat once again proved that the old shaman was right. It seems that this guy is likely to die here. The thought that he could take the place of Sim and become the leader of a third of the tribes in the north, his psychology became hot. In order to achieve this goal, even if he gave up the dignity of the legendary warrior to carry out a sneak attack.

Henry ran over as soon as he returned to the wall of Heim. "Earl, you are so risky to do this. There are a few **** archers who can see through the invisible in the orc camp opposite, and they all use a kind of magic arrow. The protection spell hardly has any effect."

"No way, we can't let these boulders continue to wreak havoc on our heads. It can be healed if they are penetrated by arrows. If they are smashed into flesh, there will be no chance of resurrection." Henry said, while keeping his teeth tight. Cut off the arrow and drew out the shaft. After checking and finding that there was no poisoning, he directly performed a healing magic technique, and the wound slowly healed soon.

Heim breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing serious about him. "But it's really good. It not only burned a large number of catapults. The last spell killed an archer. You must know that it takes a lot of time to train such an archer, and it will take at least eight to ten years. I believe that the orc chief on the opposite side must be very angry, you must be more careful in the future, these guys are very vengeful."

Henry wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up. "The orc leader you are talking about is the one-eyed guy? Is there any specific information? I think he must be a very terrifying warrior."

"He is called Sim, one of the leaders of the northern orc tribe. He hasn't fought personally for a long time, but it is said that when this guy challenged the previous chief, he tore the opponent in half with his bare hands." Heim asked the soldiers to the side. Cleaning up the corpses and blood stains on the walls, while telling the opponent's information.

Henry frowned and recalled the sharp eye just now. "It seems that this is also for a guy who is not very easy to deal with, but fortunately he will not rush to the wall easily. Today's offense should end here, if there is nothing else. We will go back and rest first."

"No problem, take a good rest, I will tell the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for you." Heim waved at him as he said.

Henry took his companions back to the residence soon, and after eating the food from the kitchen, they began to busy themselves with their own affairs. Vaughan was sitting on the ground polishing his weapons, Zubotha was maintaining the bowstrings, and everyone was preparing for tomorrow's war.

For the next few days, the orcs' attack seemed to be dealing with errands. Follow the routine of the first day every day, and retreat immediately after all the catapults are destroyed. There is absolutely no intention to conquer the city. This kind of passive sabotage attack made Henry, Heim and the others very puzzled. After all, there are tens of thousands of elite fighters outside the city, and even sending two thousand people at a time can cause them a lot of trouble.

Since I can't guess the enemy's intentions, I can only strengthen the vigilance at night to prevent these cunning guys from making a sudden attack. As the days passed, when the siege reached the seventh day, a heavy snow fell in the sky. A large swath of white snowflakes covered the entire northern land, and the snow on the ground reached a thickness of one meter in just one day.

Heim stood on the wall and directed the soldiers to shovel down the snow. Although he didn't think the orcs would attack in this kind of weather, he still had to do to keep the road clear. Henry stood on the cleared ground and chanted a spell in a low voice, preparing to use the spell to check the situation of the opponent's camp.

Soon the "farsightedness technique" was ready to be completed. He looked down at the entire camp from mid-air, and suddenly found that the orc barracks should have been messy, but there was no sound at all. Even the scout responsible for guarding outside the tent was gone, and a large amount of engineering equipment that was half made was piled up in a mess outside the camp.

Henry immediately cut off the spell and told Haim the news. The latter considered calling a ranger for a while and instructed him to go ahead and investigate the specific situation. Everyone stood there with a sense of anxiety, and an hour later the ranger quickly ran back. He calmed down his breath and hurriedly reported loudly: "Those **** orcs are gone. They didn't take anything away. There are still plenty of weapons, armor and food in the tent."

Haim frowned, and the sudden disappearance of the enemy was not a good sign. He considered for a moment and asked, "Isn't there a trace? So many people will leave a lot of footprints even if they retreat."

"There are a lot of footprints in the tent, but there is no way to detect it outside. With such a heavy snow, even if there are footprints, it will be covered immediately." The ranger shrugged helplessly. This kind of weather is impossible. track.

Henry sighed, the form before him was too weird. He didn't believe that the orcs would come to demonstrate in idleness. The other party must be hiding, so don't look at the right time to carry out a sneak attack. In this kind of weather with low visibility, as long as one strike is successful, the wall will soon fall.

"Prepare to send more manpower to patrol~www.ltnovel.com~ I can guarantee that someone will be staring here with magic spells now. As long as the defense is a little slack, these orcs will immediately launch a surprise attack."

Heim cursed in a low voice, then raised his head and said to Henry: "I understand all of these things, but this kind of heavy snow will continue for at least the next week. It is impossible for ordinary soldiers to patrol outside for a long time. They will be caught for more than an hour. Frozen. It seems that these guys have thought of a shameful trick. We are too passive now."

"Then mobilize all the male residents in the city and give them weapons and armors. As long as these guys patrol for half an hour every day, we must keep people on every five meters of the wall." Henry referred to the earth. The ancient experience of defending the city proposed a method of catching strong men.

Heim bitterly thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed. "Damn it! If you want me to know who is paying attention to the orc's insults, I will definitely unscrew his head. You can warm up the fire in the tower first, and I will now organize a door-to-door search for people. I guess. This time I'm going to be scolded to death by everyone, Sandaba is the first time that he has recruited citizens to participate in the war." As he said, he shook the snow on his body, and quickly left the city wall and walked towards the city hall. (To be continued.
