Chapter 66 The Defense of Fort Wake II

Chapter 66 Fort Wick Defense Battle II

Sophia’s mobilization achieved very good results, and the nervousness and fear of the soldiers of the two newly formed squadrons eased a little.

At the same time, the orc brigade began to slowly approach towards Fort Vic.

The boar man brigade, Shamok, was reckless and rude, and without any reconnaissance, he rashly launched an attack on Fort Vic.

And in order to show his bravery, he even led the charge.

Shamok let the three dog-headed man squadrons play the vanguard and be cannon fodder to consume the defenders’ arrows and logs.

He himself led two boar squadrons in the center.

The third echelon was the Serpentine Heavy Infantry, followed by two squadrons of Minotaurs.

The minotaurs were cavalry, protecting the orc flanks.

The two golem squadrons were the weakest in combat and were used as logistical transports by Shamrock.

When it came to severe food shortages, Shamrock would even eat the goatheads.

The dog-heads, led by the professional officer, slowly approached the city walls.

Fort Vic was not particularly large and was built halfway up a hill.

On both sides were cliffs dozens of meters high, and behind them was a hillside.

The only way to attack Fort Vic was to climb the mountain and attack.

Although the climbing path was not narrow, only two squadrons could be put into action at one time.

Although it was Sophia’s first time commanding a battle, she had little experience, but some of the officers under her command had experienced the Northern Frontier War many times.

Her uncle Vito was a veteran officer who had experienced nine orc invasions even though he was only a third rank warrior.

The experience of war also exceeded William.

By recognizing the flag, Vito was the first to find the orc commander.

Once the orcs were lined up, Vito aimed his catapults at the two boar-man squadrons, preparing to focus on the second echelon of the orcs.

After the dogmen entered the range of the stone throwers, Vito did not expose the stone throwers, but had the archers on the castle draw their bows full.

Only when the Dogheads were less than a hundred meters away from the castle did Vito pass down the military order.

“Archers, release arrows!”

The archers on the citadel had already drawn their bows to full strength, and released the strings almost simultaneously when they heard the order.

More than two hundred arrows shot down at once, knocking down several Dogheads on the spot.

The archers at the city head kept shooting arrows, shooting five or six rounds within a minute.

The closer the dog-heads got to the city wall, the higher the hit rate of the archers.

By the time the two dog-head squadrons started to climb the city wall, the casualties had already exceeded 20%.

Without any urging, the dog-heads accelerated their pace and climbed the walls in a vigorous manner.

After climbing the wall with difficulty, they were stabbed by the spearmen at the top of the city, and fell off the wall like a rolling gourd, losing their lives.

Several dog-headed officers have ordered.

“Raise your shields, watch your feet, and defend yourself against arrows.

Concentrate on one attack.

Take care to protect the wooden ladders from being pushed over and destroyed by the humans.”

Sophia carefully observed the battlefield and immediately fired magic missiles after spotting the dog-headed commander.

Sophia was already a five-ringed magician, and even if she released a one-ringed magic magic missile, it was already enough to threaten low-ranked professionals.

Several magic missiles flew from the top of the city, accurately hitting the two first-rank dog-headed men.

The violent explosion engulfed a squad of dog-headed warriors, and in an instant the two first-order dog-headed men did not prepare themselves and lost their lives on the spot. The remaining few dog-headed officers raised their shields and hid themselves amongst the ordinary dog-headed soldiers.

As the casualties grew bigger and bigger, the dog-heads finally couldn’t bear it and collapsed under the city wall.

In the initial tentative attack, the dog-headed men suffered seventy to eighty casualties, and the casualties on the castle were minimal, with only five or six soldiers injured by stones.

The dog-headed men’s tentative attack made Shamrock think that he had mapped out the fortifications of Vikborg Castle.

He soon punished a few of the fleeing Dogheads and then forced the Dogheads to attack the castle again, only this time the two Boar Squadrons were ready to enter the fray as well.

Shamrock also followed the two boar-man squadrons and personally led the siege.

When the two boar squadrons entered the range of the counterweighted stone throwers, Vito immediately gave the military order.

“Number one, number two stone throwers, fire two hundred pounds of stone bombs with a counterweight of two thousand six hundred pounds.

Number three, four, five, and six stone throwers, fire one hundred pounds of stone bombs with a counterweight of twelve hundred pounds.”

After the military order was given, the heavy stone throwers immediately fired, and a stone bomb smashed down from the sky.

The landing points were almost very close together, accurately smashing into the boarmen formation.

Any boars that were hit by the heavy stone bombs were instantly reduced to meat cakes.

The stone bombs smashed on the ground and rolled in all directions, injuring a dozen people with the powerful kinetic energy.

A stone bullet smashed down at Shamrock, who was a fifth-ranked warrior and reacted very quickly. Seeing the stone bombs falling from the sky, his feet powered up and leapt up, dodging the first wave of stone bombs.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another stone bullet smashed near him.

Two hundred pounds directly smashed a third-order boar man squadron leader to death, and the powerful kinetic energy rolled towards Shamrock.

Shamrock fought and kicked, his strong thick legs surprisingly shattered the stone bullet.

But a sharp pain instantly came from the limb, his left leg was broken by the stone bullet at the same time.

Shamrock jumped hard on one leg and led the Boar Squadron in a desperate run, taking two rounds of stone bullets before passing through this death journey.

Shamrock endured the severe pain, and his heart was furious to the extreme.

Prepare to massacre all the humans after breaking the city.

Especially the beautiful human girl at the head of the city, bit by bit, cut off her delicate flesh and bite her bones.

Let her live to see her body, be swallowed bit by bit into the stomach of the sand demonic gram.

Torture human noble girl, every time let sand magic gram very excited.

Just as Sha Demok was secretly fantasizing about breaking through the human castle, a fireball landed from the top of the city, ready to be aimed at Sha Demok.

With his broken leg, Sha Demok’s reflexes and speed were a few points slower than normal.

He was just about to dodge when the fireball had already descended from the sky and viciously struck Sand Demonk’s forehead.

The fireball instantly exploded, and the violent energy killed and injured more than ten boars.

Sha Demok was located in the center of the explosion, relying on his high professional level and strong magic resistance, he barely managed to save his life.

However, this fireball directly hit Shamrock, causing him to fall into a life-threatening situation.

The boars and the foxes were at odds, and the foxes’ magicians were not willing to serve the Shamrocks’ brigade.

In the entire Shamrock Brigade, there was only one Minotaur who was a magician and could use healing spells.

Fortunately, the minotaur wizard was closer to Sand Demonk, and hurriedly used the Cure Light Injury spell to hang on to Sand Demonk’s life.

Being hit hard in the orc brigade immediately threw the attacking orcs into chaos.

By the time the Minotaur Vice Grand Captain took over the command, this siege had long since ended without a trace.
