Chapter 478 The Bloody Battle of Zhenhai City
They faced the siege of the Fifth Tier Human epic warriors.
These dozens of epic orcs showed no fear, each one activating their berserk skills.
Each orc, already towering and burly, saw their muscles swell in the berserk state, their height shooting up another half meter.
Their muscles knotted like steel rock, and the giant axes they wielded seemed to shrink in comparison.
Yet, every attack they made was immensely fierce and powerful.
Particularly the military souls' battle formation they formed was incredibly formidable.
The Blood Fiend orc phantoms, wielding axes formed from condensed blood fiend, unleashed a simple sweep, releasing a blood-red evil qi.
The Human epic warriors charging at them were cut down with a single axe blow, sent flying.
As fast as they came, they were even quicker to rebound.
But the Human epic warriors would not let these orcs easily hold the gap, for if the orc army in the rear all rushed into the city,
then Zhenhai City would fall within minutes.
However, groups of Fifth Tier epics rushed forward, only to be cut down like moths to a flame.
Their various attack skills were blocked by the Blood Fiend orc phantoms, not injuring the orcs in the slightest.
Yet these epic orcs were not having an easy time, there were only fifty-some of them after all.
Even though they used the Battle Array Method to condense the Beast Clan's military soul, the blood fiend qi they provided and the energy within them were still too little.
Less than a minute later, faced with overwhelming attacks, they ultimately shattered in a powerful magical bombardment.
The Blood Fiend phantoms shattered into nothingness, the remaining blood energy retreating back into the orcs' bodies below.
However, the backlash caused by the collapse of the Blood Fiend phantoms inflicted injuries upon these orcs.
But these orcs cared little whether they were injured or not, becoming even more excited and bloodthirsty, all entering Berserk Mode.
Meanwhile, they did not set up defensive formations, instead directly charging forward to kill.
At the same time, in the gap of over ten meters behind them, an endless stream of the orc army was pouring in!
Thunderous shouts of killing emanated from the mouths of these powerful orc warriors.
Each corps, as they passed through the gap, brought down their axes on the breach.
Every orc warrior running through would swing an axe, chipping away layers of stone from the city wall.
Gradually, the gap, originally just about eleven or twelve meters wide, expanded bit by bit.
As the gap widened, four orcs who could previously pass side by side became five.
This allowed more and more orc warriors to flood into the city.
However, the city's garrison also reacted, forming battle formations and pressing forward with shields.
Unfortunately, the human soldiers stood around two meters tall on average, but when facing orcs nearly three or four meters tall, it was as easy as a cat playing Whac-A-Mole.
Huge axes fell from the sky, and the soldiers raised shields with both hands to resist.
Amidst the shower of sparks, some were directly smashed to the ground by the immense force, while others couldn't hold their shields and had their heads cleaved by axes.
Fortunately, these soldiers wore helmets of excellent quality, coupled with shields that absorbed most of the force, preventing their heads from being chopped off.
Yet even so, they were left seeing stars, lying on the ground, and unable to fight further.
On this battlefield, without the ability to continue fighting while on the front line, one could only imagine the fate awaiting these soldiers.
They were either trampled into meat pies under the orcs' feet or were cut in two by an extra axe blow, or were pushed forward by their comrades to die...
It could be said that in these brief clashes, human soldiers suffered significant casualties.
Meanwhile, the pace of orcs flooding into the city also encountered obstacles, advancing at a snail's pace.
There was no choice, the gap was only so big, and as it opened near the gate, a large number of soldiers were stationed here.
Previously, it was supported by just fifty or so epic orcs, allowing a few hundred orc troops to rush into the city.
But they were besieged from all sides by human soldiers, using shields to push forward, compressing their movement space.
If they couldn't break through to create a larger space, the orcs behind would have no chance of entering the city.
And the orcs already in the city would slowly be worn down by the human army inside.
Meanwhile, within the city, after a breach was made at the East Gate, reinforcements began to surge this way.
Especially hundreds of Fifth Tier Human epic warriors, while individually they might only be beaten when facing epic orcs,
they had numbers!
If one was beaten, two would attack; if two couldn't win, then three; if three still couldn't win, then ten!
On the battlefield, there was no such thing as martial virtue; as long as the opponent was defeated, that was the best martial virtue!
Orcs had racial advantages, whereas the Human Race had numerical advantages; it was a battle against time.
Would the orcs seize the gate successfully, or would the humans fill the gap successfully?
Regardless of which side succeeded, the battlefield's theme remained death.
In just a few minutes of engagement, over a thousand human soldiers had died, whereas the orcs had lost just over a hundred.
With a ten-to-one casualty ratio, the human officials were terrified.
The orcs' formidable might was starkly apparent to them at this moment.
Unfortunately, thinking about their lives being controlled by the great Buddha, if they dared to abandon the city and flee at the start of the siege,
the consequence would be a fate of retribution.
So, they couldn't flee without reason.
Just then, amongst the orc lines that had entered the city, a ferocious blood fiend qi suddenly erupted.
In the next moment, a giant blood-red axe descended from the sky, bringing with it a violent burst of blood energy, slashing down fiercely.
It was a powerful Sixth Tier blow!
A row of human soldiers was directly ground to dust under the slash of the blood-red giant axe.
A four-meter-wide, hundreds-of-meters-long blood-red path appeared amidst the human soldier lines.
This terrifying strike immediately threw the front line of human soldiers into chaos, making it difficult to maintain their formation.
Seizing this opportunity, the orcs at the front charged into the formation savagely, sweeping their giant axes horizontally.
Not to kill, but to knock the nearby human soldiers away, making more room on the battlefield for the orcs.
Almost instantly, a group of epic orcs hidden in the formation abruptly broke through this smashed gap, charging under the city gate.
Inside the city, the city walls were engraved with formation patterns, and above the gate tower were nodes of these patterns.
If the gate were opened, the originally closed nodes would have faults, thus slowing the energy transmission of the city defense barrier.
It could be said that, given the orcs' assault from outside, once the barrier's recovery speed slowed, this city defense barrier, which the City Lord replaced with a new energy core, would quickly collapse!
