Warcraft Eternal Tree - Chapter 571

c571 Habitual thinking harms people

The wolf cavalrymen under the walls of Xirik City suddenly found that the yellowish-brown light no longer appeared on the walls they were chopping, and they repaired the damage they had caused. Before, this annoying light brought great obstacles to their destruction.

“Boom boom–” Just half a minute after the Mage Tower gave up repairing the walls, most of the walls on all sides of Xirik City collapsed. Sure enough, if there were no magical measures to maintain it, the walls would be no different from tofu in front of the burning catapults and wolf cavalrymen.

However, the wolf cavalrymen who were excited to collapse the walls were all cold when they saw the scene behind the collapsed walls. In front of them were not the humans who were panicked, fleeing in all directions or desperately counterattacking as imagined, but a group of elite troops with neatly arranged weapons emitting cold light.

In addition, fireballs and wind blades fell on the heads of the wolf cavalrymen. In the ruins of the walls they were crossing, a large number of earth spikes also appeared, stabbing fiercely at the abdomen of the giant wolf under the wolf cavalrymen.

Originally, according to the intention of Paramount and other officers, the magicians were to deal with the wolf cavalry that attacked the city wall first, and then let the human troops leave the city calmly. However, Yu Fei disagreed with this approach. After stopping them, he ordered the magician group to do it his own way.

The strongest among the magicians of the New Fourth Army was only at the Sky Level, so after the integration of the army in Xirik City, they chose to obey Yu Fei, a legendary great magician with the title of Earl of the Empire.

In Yu Fei’s opinion, if only relying on the four gates of Xirik City, it would be a difficult task for the more than 300,000 troops in the city to go out of the city and fight the orcs. You know, when entering the city, it took several hours for these more than 300,000 troops to enter the city completely.

In this case, it would be better to let those wolf cavalry directly cut down the city wall. Anyway, they were ready to give up defending the city wall. Whether the city wall was intact or turned into ruins had nothing to do with the subsequent battle.

As for the other orc troops coming up at this time, there was no need to worry. The current situation shows that the other orcs in the rear had never expected that the city of Xirik would suddenly give up repairing the city wall, so that when the wolf cavalry broke down the city wall, most of the orcs were stunned or cheered, and no one thought of rushing over immediately.

This delay allowed the human army to rush out of Xirik City intact and quickly. As for the werewolves standing on the ruins of the city wall, they were quickly defeated by magic and the impact of hundreds of thousands of troops. When dealing with human soldiers, the wolf cavalry was not as sharp as when attacking the city wall.

The orcs would never have thought that the defenders in Xirik City would take the initiative to give up the city wall in order to fight them in the field. After experiencing many wars with humans before, the orcs’ thinking has also formed an inertia, that is, humans will definitely rely on the city wall to defend and fight them.

The human side that came out of this thinking inertia first naturally took the lead. The large orc army was still waiting for the burning catapults and wolf cavalry to work hard for a while, and then rush in after breaking through the city wall, so they did not line up.

It was not until the orcs in the front row could see only helmets reflecting light and the human troops had already advanced to less than 300 meters in front of them that the orcs finally reacted.

Fortunately, although the formation was scattered, the basic distribution of the orcs’ troops had not been disrupted. The orcs in the front were all strong and thick-skinned guys like the tauren, and there were also a large number of green-skinned orc infantry in the back, so they would not be dispersed by the human side.

The tauren in the front row almost simultaneously picked up the totem pole that was originally on the ground, hugged it horizontally, and connected it with the totem poles of other tauren around them.

The human troops rushing out of Xirik City were cavalry in the front. After a sprint of nearly a thousand meters, the potential energy they had was something that even the tauren, whose individual strength far exceeded theirs, had to deal with carefully.

However, the tauren’s actions should have been extremely correct. The totem poles were connected together and hugged by the tauren in the front row, which was equivalent to a temporary simple wooden wall that could contain the charge of the human cavalry.

However, the first wave of human attacks was not brought by these cavalrymen, but from the Mage Tower in the city of Xirik, where the walls had collapsed.

Originally, the magicians in Xirik City could not have such a long range to attack the orcs thousands of meters away. Even the Mage Tower, which relies on the collection of energy to increase the range, could not cast magic to such a far distance. However, this impossibility turned from impossible to certain after Yu Fei participated in the operation of the Mage Tower.

In fact, Yu Fei did not need to do much. The magic power for casting war magic was contributed by other magicians in the Mage Tower. All he did was to use his powerful mental power combined with the circuits in the Mage Tower to transform these gathered energies into formed spells and guide them to the location he wanted to attack.

How far can Yu Fei’s mental power extend? Even if he only uses this Elf King clone, if he covers it in a carpet-like manner, he can clearly explore the area with a radius of ten kilometers with himself as the center. Just extending in one direction can reach hundreds of kilometers.

However, the gathered magic power will obviously weaken after being guided out of one kilometer. If one wants to use the magic power gathered in Xirik City to form a spell hundreds of kilometers away and create an effect similar to that of a missile, it would be impossible.

But it was this magic that had weakened a little after crossing a distance of one kilometer that caused the minotaurs to suffer a great loss.

Just like the wolf cavalry’s previous experience, the minotaurs faced not only one or two magic attacks. Instead, they were attacked from top to bottom, from front to back, and from bottom to top.

In the range covered by Yu Fei’s mental power, he could clearly see that when countless sharp earth spikes suddenly emerged from the ground, the faces of many minotaurs instantly became the same as those of the green-skinned orc infantry behind them.

Yu Fei could understand the suffering of these minotaurs. After all, few people except the little one could endure the feeling of foreign objects suddenly pouring in from the back door, especially when these were not elastic foreign objects, but sharp and hard thick earth spikes.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the most sinister thing is **, Yu Fei shook his head. In fact, generally speaking, the magic used by human mage groups in wars is more fire and wind magic with a larger killing range and relatively stronger damage. As for the earth system, it can be used in places like repairing city walls.

However, in the war with the orcs, the Holy Lion Empire summed up the so-called experience and believed that only with a large number of earth magicians can the city walls be defended. Therefore, more than half of the magicians in Xirik City are earth magicians.

In the past, the orcs have faced human attack magic. Their experience is that human magic is often fireballs, wind blades, fire rain and hail from above and in front, and there are very few attacks from below.

As a result, this time, the orcs were secretly happy when they saw that the magic in the air was sparse, and it seemed that the firepower of the humans here was not strong enough. But they didn’t expect that most of the attacks came from below, attacking the lower body of themselves and other beasts.

This is also a manifestation of inertia of thinking, and it also made the orcs suffer a great loss. So, sometimes, experience can kill people.

The lethality of earth magic is not very strong, which is one of the reasons why this type of magic is rare in war. The large number of earth spikes actually did not cause much damage to the orcs, but the negative effects were too strong.

Apart from other things, most of the minotaurs in the front row who were holding the totem poles with a firm look and ready to resist the charge of the human cavalry, dropped the totem poles as if they were electrocuted after being **, and covered their buttocks and mooed loudly.

In this way, the charge of the human cavalry was completely borne by the orcs. Although the combat effectiveness of human horses is far less than that of the wolf cavalry, the impact brought by their long-distance sprint is not comparable to that of the wolf cavalry.

At least, the minotaurs who put down the totem poles could not resist this impact for a while.
