Mythology: Ragnarok

Just as the other catapults were about to follow up and deliver another devastating blow to the troops on the city wall, Agred suddenly unleashed the ninth-order spell 'Multiple Bursts'. This was the first time he had chanted a ninth-order spell since he had advanced to the rank of Archmage six months ago.

Suddenly, a powerful suction force appeared near all the catapults, and violent magical energy gathered there before exploding with a bang. In an instant, the orcs' rear troops were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

But at that moment, the shamans behind the orcs activated an ancient magic unique to the orcs. The earth began to lose its nutrients and turn into sand, life began to wither and trees began to decay, and the fallen orc warriors rose again. Even if their bodies were mutilated, as long as their heads were not separated from their bodies, they could be resurrected.

Moreover, the eyes of all the orc warriors turned red, and their strength and speed were more than doubled. The orc troops quickly arrived at the foot of the city wall. The orc shield bearers quickly broke formation, and the crossbowmen who were protected below immediately appeared and fired at the top of the city wall, bringing down the human archers one by one.

Meanwhile, the ogres transporting siege equipment also brought over siege ladders. The orcs placed the huge ladders on the city wall, with an orc at the top protecting them and preventing the defenders from pushing them down.

The orc vanguard then reached the city wall with the siege ladders. The spearmen, who were already prepared, used the length advantage of their weapons to pick off the first group of orcs brought up by the ladders. At the same time, after dealing with the orcs, the defenders immediately worked together to push the ladders down the city wall and kill the orcs nearby.

However, there are always exceptions. Once the siege ladders were locked onto the city wall, they were difficult to push down. As a result, several siege ladders were not pushed down in time. At this moment, the centurions among the orcs, who were at least at the knight level, immediately came up from the siege ladders to the city wall. Then, on the narrow city wall, the human troops were frantically harvested by these orc armies like cutting melons and vegetables. At this time, Ike joined the battle and used his specially made armor-piercing arrows to snipe the orc elites who came to the city wall.

At this moment, the battering ram below slowly moved to the vicinity of the city gate. Just as the four-meter-tall ogres were about to drag the huge battering ram to smash through the thick wooden city gate, Shakdar's puppets, holding bombs, leaped down and blasted the huge battering ram to pieces.

Meanwhile, on the human side, Agreed led the mages in a battle of magic against the orc shamans, Sophie commanded the human troops in an orderly manner on the city wall while leading them to fight against the orc troops that had climbed up the wall, and Rayleigh wandered around the city wall looking for opportunities to reap the heads of the enemy.

Seeing that the time was right, Shakdar activated the defenses he had specially set up on the city walls. One by one, bombs filled with iron fragments and gunpowder were lit and thrown down (you can think of them as homemade grenades). The bombs then exploded, and iron fragments flew everywhere, taking the lives of countless orcs.

The war continued until the blood on the ground had dried up, until both sides' arms were numb, until dusk fell, until one side began to fear!

The orcs were eventually driven back, leaving behind a trail of corpses as they retreated to their distant camp. This siege resulted in the loss of at least ten thousand orc warriors, a tremendous loss that caught the orc marshal completely off guard. This made him wonder if this was still Avalon? Was this still the same trash nation that had been so thoroughly defeated by their suicide squads?

That night, on the city wall of Bell.

The garrison general stood before Agred and earnestly said, “My lord, I know you were appointed commander here by the King of Avalon, and I shouldn’t question you, but I must say it: we can’t hold on any longer, my lord! If you don’t bring the vampires and elves into the battle, we will surely lose tomorrow! You may not think much of it, but we are the ones fighting desperately!”

Argreed seemed not to hear and said dismissively, "If they don't commit all their forces to attack the city tomorrow, I still won't let other troops get involved. If you can't hold out and dare to desert, then you'll be subject to military law."

"You!" The general was about to say something when a carrier pigeon flew over and landed in Agreed's hand. Agreed took the letter and, after reading it, immediately said to himself with a smug look, "They've finally arrived. Avalon's strongest army is here, so I can rest assured."

After saying that, he released the carrier pigeon and looked at the general, asking, "Do you have anything else to do? If not, then leave. Get some rest; there's a fierce battle ahead tomorrow."

Seeing this, the general could only leave indignantly. Then, a vampire appeared behind Agreed, and Agreed coldly said, "Follow him. If he undermines morale, intends to surrender, or even leads his men in rebellion, then kill him without mercy!"

The vampire bowed and replied, "Understood, sir." Then, the vampire disappeared into the night.

Agreed looked in the direction of the human troops. Their greatest enemy now was not the orcs but themselves. If anyone showed any abnormality, he had to nip it in the bud!

Agreed's idea was correct. A moment later, the vampire came over carrying the general's head and said, "My lord, you are truly a brilliant strategist. He was preparing to escape with his men, but I killed him. As for his trusted subordinates, my brothers and I have captured them and they are awaiting your judgment."

While glancing at the battle report in his hand, Agreed casually asked, "How many people?"

The vampire thought for a moment and then replied, "About twenty or thirty people. These are all his confidants, so there aren't many."

After a moment's thought, Agreed solemnly declared, "Tomorrow at sunrise, take them to the city gate as deserters and behead them as a sacrifice to the flag."

The vampire looked up at him in surprise, then nodded in agreement and left the tent.

After they left, the subordinate next to the vampire quickly leaned closer and whispered, "Viscount Blue, the Earl sent us to observe him. Did you notice anything?"

Viscount Blue gave a meaningful smile and replied, "He's really surprising me more and more. His decisiveness in killing is unbelievable. To be honest, someone like him could create miracles even if he were just commanding human troops. You should send a message to Earl Lester now and tell him that if the vampires and humans ever go to war, he will be a great enemy of the vampires if he is the commander!"

The subordinate immediately asked doubtfully, "Isn't this evaluation too high?"

Viscount Bru smiled dismissively, then sneered, "You won't say that after this war is over."

Meanwhile, inside the orc camp

The orc marshal stared grimly at the sand table before him, muttering to himself, "They resisted so fiercely even though we didn't block their retreat. Normally, they should have abandoned the city and fled long ago. Could it be... that they have someone backing them?"

At this moment, his adjutant walked in and said, "Sir, the 200,000 troops have all assembled here, and the provisions and meat have also been transported here. Should we continue the siege tomorrow?"
