Chapter 13: Air Raid
Take advantage of their unpreparedness and kill them!
Rejecting Farodan's companions and asking him to wait in the city to watch the show, Levi took the materials, quietly knocked open two round stones, and ran out of the wall.
These orcs would never think that he dared to leave the city while they were making ladders, and not only dared to leave the city, but also dared to take the initiative to attack.
One person attacked a hundred people.
In the orc leader's big head, whether Levi and the others waited for them to make ladders and then attacked, or fled from the city while they were making ladders, his side would make money. Anyway, they would rely on ladders to capture the castle in the end, and it would be the same whether the enemy was killed by him or fled without fighting.
Therefore, this leader didn't even bother to keep scouts. After all, there was an archer with good accuracy in the castle. If there were not enough soldiers left, they might be dead bodies when they returned. If there were too many, there would not be enough manpower on this side, so there was no need to think about it.
It must be said that although most orcs are stupid and weak, there are always a few that are well-developed and can grow some muscles and brains.
However, this time, the strong orc was destined to miscalculate.
"Hurry up, rubbish, put the ladder together quickly. If I am not sitting in the castle before dawn, I will throw you all to the wargs!"
In the forest, the orc leader shouted at the orcs responsible for making the ladder.
On the other side, a warg responsible for vigilance twitched its nose, and its scarlet eyes turned. It instinctively looked outside the forest, but found nothing moving.
However, this action was discovered by the careful rider.
"What's wrong, what do you smell?"
The warg took a breath and carried the rider out until he was a distance away from the team. Suddenly, he found a stone pillar that went straight to the sky in the open space not far away. The shape was square and just one meter thick.
The orc rider was puzzled. He raised his head and looked upwards. He felt that something seemed to be moving at the end of the stone pillar, but he couldn't see clearly what it was.
Even if he raised the torch higher, he could only vaguely see a shadow at the top.
Bird? Crow?
At first, the rider didn't care, just thought it was some small animal on it.
Until, the stone pillar suddenly extended outwards at the top in an unreasonable way - extending in the direction of the orcs' construction.
The orc rider scratched his head.
"What is that, a living stone?"
Click.
Levi wiped the cold sweat from his head, squatted on the edge, and put another stone on it, extending it outwards one grid.
Occasionally looking down, he was also very weak in the legs.
He was afraid of heights.
"Wait, that's...?"
His brain suddenly lit up, and Levi didn't care about being afraid, and quickly stuck his head out to look down again.
I saw a small light spot on the edge of the empty space I had put up.
It was a torch.
Levi squinted his eyes and looked around.
Oh no, it seems that I have been discovered, I have to speed up!
Taking a few deep breaths, overcoming the weakness in his legs, Levi sped up to the place where the siege ladder was built, while trying to hide his body as much as possible so that he could not be seen from below.
However, maybe it was because he was too close, or there would always be one or two smart people in a group of wooden heads.
When Levita was 70 or 80 meters above the construction site, finally, a half-orc raised his head and looked at the vague shadow in the sky and couldn't help asking:
"What is that?"
This sentence attracted several eyes to look up together.
Several orcs looked up at the sky in a daze, and even forgot to patrol.
"Damn it, I seem to be hallucinating, there seems to be someone up there?"
"People?"
"I see it's clearly a crow."
"What if it's a person?"
"Why are you arguing? If it's a person or a crow, we'll know after we shoot it down."
An archer drew out an arrow, drew his bow and aimed at the sky to shoot. At a distance of 70 to 80 meters, if he was accurate enough, there was still a chance that he could hit it.
But he was destined to have no such chance.
"Look, there's something glowing in the sky!"
"Stupid, isn't there glowing stars everywhere in the sky?"
"Not stars..."
Before he finished speaking, a red object with white light fell from the sky, right in the middle of these orcs.
BOOM!
The moment it landed, a huge explosion sounded, and a large pit several meters wide was directly blown out on the spot. A tree next to it was unfortunately affected and its branches were directly blown off.
As for the orcs in the center of the explosion, their limbs flew everywhere and they disintegrated on the spot.
As expected.
You know, the maximum damage of TNT is 65 points, which is not something these small soldiers with an average of more than ten drops of health can resist.
The height of more than 70 meters was calculated by Levi. TNT ignites from this height and explodes the moment it falls to the ground.
There is no time for the orcs to react.
"What is that?!"
The leader was immediately startled by the explosion and quickly picked up the big wooden hammer beside him and led a team of people to investigate.
However, when they arrived at the scene, they only saw a big pit and several broken bodies and limbs.
"What happened?"
The leader asked angrily, but no one answered.
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed scout pointed to the top of his head and shouted: "Look, what is that!"
A group of orcs looked in the direction of the finger and saw seven or eight red objects flashing at high speed falling from the sky, and they were about to land.
The tall leader suddenly had a bad feeling and directly placed the big wooden hammer in front of him as a shield. However, he felt that this alone seemed not safe enough. At that second, he took several steps back and protected his subordinates in front of him.
Everyone followed the red glowing object closely until the TNTs fell to the ground one by one.
Boom!
Explosions, white light, screams, as the TNTs exploded one after another, large pits were blown out on the ground. The parts of the Oaks who were close to the center of the explosion were directly blown away and evaporated on the spot. Those who were a little further away could not escape the fate of being blown up. Many Oaks may still have a breath left when they were blown up, but when they fell, this breath was finally cut off.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Although the orc leader was lucky enough not to be evaporated in the center of the explosion, he was also overturned by the shock wave, rolled all the way and finally hit the tree, dying.
Clang.
The big wooden hammer he used as a weapon fell to the ground, and it was charred.
Without bothering to check his own injuries, the strong orc struggled to get up and looked at his team.
At this moment, most of the team that had experienced a round of bombing could no longer recognize that they were orcs before they were born. The ground was covered with black blood and charred meat. Some of the incomplete limbs were stuck on the ground, some were hanging on the trees, and a few orcs who survived by chance but were not necessarily intact were struggling to crawl on the ground. Obviously, they could not hold on for much longer.
Almost wiped out.
Looking at the hellish scene in front of him, the leader was confused.
What happened? What happened?
From beginning to end, he could not see where the enemy was, and he didn't know what was attacking him.
It was just inexplicable, and they were all wiped out in an instant.
That's right, the sky!
The attack came from the sky!
Finally found the source of the attack, the orc leader was angry and afraid. Could it be the legendary dragon that could launch such a strong attack from high altitude?
At this moment, there was a rustling sound from the bushes nearby. Several wolf riders came over after hearing the sound. They were stunned when they saw the big pits and corpses on the ground, and then they saw the orc leader covered in blood.
Several orcs jumped off the wolf and ran over to offer their courtesy: "Leader, we are here to support!"
As they said that, a large number of wolf riders rushed out and searched for the incoming enemies everywhere.
Obviously, all the troops of this orc team are almost here at this moment.
The leader's face suddenly changed after realizing something: "No——"
However, it was too late.
More than a dozen glowing TNTs fell from the sky.
