Warcraft Eternal Tree - Chapter 569

c569 Wolf Cavalry

Yu Fei stood on the city tower and had a clear view. The orcs’ flaming catapult was thousands of meters away from the city wall. According to Eslazer’s level of war machinery and magic ability, unless it was a large amount of high-level magic, Or a forbidden spell, otherwise humans would not be able to threaten these burning catapults.

Yu Fei was not surprised at all that the orcs’ burning catapult had a range far beyond that of the war machines in the world of Eslaze. The status of the burning catapult in the Orc tribe is the same as that of the blade thrower in the night elves. Their ranges are also very long and they are at the same level.

The incendiary bombs that kept hitting the city wall made the mages of Cyric City busy casting water and earth magic to extinguish the flames and repair the city wall. The maximum attack increase of the Mage Tower and the effect of increasing the range of attack spells are completely unable to be reflected.

In this case, a cavalry suddenly rushed out from the orc troops in the distance. In the direction Yu Fei was observing, there were about ten thousand cavalry rushing out, and presumably the same was true in the other three directions.

Yu Fei’s keen eyesight allowed him to easily see the appearance of these orc cavalry. The mounts of this cavalry unit are giant wolves that are black, gray or brown, and the knights riding on the giant wolves also look like werewolves.

However, Yu Fei discovered the difference between these wolf cavalry and the werewolves of the Frostwolf clan. Compared with the native werewolves of Eslaze, these wolf cavalry of the new orcs are similar in appearance to an upright giant wolf, and only a roughly human-like face can be seen on the face.

As for the werewolves native to Eslaze, such as the werewolves in the Frostwolf clan that Yu Fei observed through the perspective of the bear warriors, they are actually closer to the human form. Only the ears, tail, etc. can tell that it is not human.

This may be one of the reasons for the emergence of the new ancient orcs. The origin of the orcs in Eslaze is unknown, but their evolution towards human form has not changed. This may be because many orcs have intermarryed with humans.

The Orcs in Warcraft do not have the word “human” in their name. The Orcs and the Humans are two completely independent races, and there was no intersection at the beginning.

It is probably for this reason that the orcs in Eslaze will undergo various changes after they choose to integrate the power from the Warcraft orcs that comes to them. Reflected in this wolf cavalry, the originally close-to-human appearance has become atavistic.

These atavistic wolf cavalry advanced very quickly, and under the cover of the burning catapult, they quickly arrived under the city wall of Cyric City. The magicians were busy repairing the city wall, and only some attack magic flew out, unable to stop these wolf cavalry.

When these wolf cavalry came under the eyes of Yu Fei and others, they all raised their scimitars and began to chop down the city wall with a clanging sound.

It stands to reason that if it is not a specialized siege equipment, individual weapons, even giant hammers and axes, will be difficult to cause damage to magic-reinforced city walls. However, on top of Cyric City, the human officers and soldiers all looked solemn.

If you look carefully, the scimitar in the Wolf Cavalry’s hand, which looks like a toothpick compared to the city wall, is slashing at the city wall. It can be reinforced by two magic processes, from fossil to mud and mud to stone. The city wall cracked with a big hole.

“As expected.” Paramount frowned, talking to himself and seemingly talking to Yu Fei. “I don’t know what these orc weapons are made of. They cause so much damage to the city wall, but when they are actually fighting, they are not as sharp as when they chop down the city wall. It is really strange.”

Yu Fei was convinced that the wolf cavalry could easily destroy the city wall, but could not display advanced weapons in battle. It was indeed difficult for the natives of Eslaze to understand.

As for Yu Fei himself, he understood the reason for this situation. In the Warcraft game, the attack type of the Wolf Cavalry is siege, which can cause more than twice the damage when destroying buildings. This is reflected in the real world, that is, it is easier for them to destroy city walls than to kill people.

Originally, the magicians in Cyric City were struggling just to deal with the burning catapults. Almost all the magicians stationed in the mage tower worked together to equalize the repair speed and destruction speed of the city wall.

But after the wolf cavalry of the orc tribe participated in the attack on the city wall, the officers on top of the city could clearly see with their naked eyes that the repair speed of the city wall could no longer keep up with the destruction speed of the orcs.

“There is no way to go on like this. If the city wall persists for half an hour at most, a hole will be opened. Otherwise, the city wall will be completely destroyed in two hours.” Paramount’s tone was affirmative, and he quickly discussed the response with the officers around him. measure.

As the leader of the Eighth Army Mage Corps, Yu Fei was naturally drawn into this brief meeting, but he was not prepared to express any opinions. Anyway, in the eyes of these soldiers, he, a magician, should be incompetent in military matters, so they might as well just sit aside and watch how the elite officers of the Holy Lion Empire deal with the situation at hand.

A tall, thin officer was the first to make an opinion. “The repair speed of the city wall cannot keep up with the destruction speed, which is mainly caused by the wolf cavalry under the city. In fact, we only need to kill these wolf cavalry to solve the crisis.”

The tall and thin officer’s words seemed to be serious, but after he finished speaking, all the officers present, including Yu Fei, looked at this guy with contempt. Aren’t you talking nonsense? What we need now is a solution. Who doesn’t know that killing the Wolf Cavalry can eliminate the crisis?

If it were in the past, Yu Fei might have asked Paramount and other officers why they didn’t use rolling logs to deal with the wolf cavalrymen under the city? They were just hacking at the city walls, not caring about the situation above their heads. They were just sitting ducks.

But after fighting a lot of battles in Eslaze – to be more precise, after seeing the night elf troops and humans fight a lot of battles, Yu Fei was not surprised why the city of Xirik didn’t have such city defense equipment.

In the human world, only towns and small cities can use rolling logs to defend the city. In slightly larger cities, there are generally wizard towers. The war spells amplified by the wizard tower are used to defend the city, which is much more lethal than rolling logs and more convenient.

This Xirik city is the second largest city in the kingdom where the Eighth Army is now. There are many wizard towers in the city, so it is naturally impossible to equip it with “low-end” city defense equipment such as rolling logs. Therefore, when the magicians were restrained, the wolf cavalry could rush under the city wall and destroy it without restraint.

As for archers, there were too few warriors in Eslazer who used archers as weapons, and there were only some ordinary archers in the army. Archers who had not practiced fighting spirit or only had apprentice strength could not cause effective damage to these wolf cavalry whose strength was obviously around silver.

Paramount certainly knew this and knew that the tall and thin officer was talking nonsense. However, he did not reprimand the guy, but directly gave the officers present two choices, asking everyone to discuss and decide on these two choices.

“There is no need to think about anything else now. The decision to be made is to either defend the city wall to death and fight street battles with the orcs after half an hour to two hours. Or give up the city wall and the army will go out of the city directly to fight the orcs in the field.”

Paramount’s tone was very firm, not giving the officers the opportunity to think about other ways. Yes, time is tight and there is no room for more thinking.

As soon as these two choices were put forward, almost all the officers present subconsciously wanted to choose the former. The advantage of humans in wars with alien races is that they rely on the solidity of the city. If we abandon the city wall, wouldn’t it be to attack the enemy’s strength with our own weakness?

But Yu Fei saw that Paramount actually wanted to abandon the city wall.

Sure enough, when those officers opened their mouths and wanted to continue to defend the city wall, Paramount stopped them with a stern look. These officers were all old subordinates of Paramount, and naturally knew what the legion commander meant – this was to let them think more.
