Mythology: Ragnarok
Chapter 73 Decline
Using the terrain to their advantage, the elves, like meat grinders, reaped the lives of the orc warriors, while the vampires on the other side had it much easier.
The orc troops stationed by the vampires arrived at the city gate without any obstruction. Just as they were about to use battering rams to break down the gate, it opened automatically. The vampires released zombies to "warmly welcome" the "guests" who had come from afar. The zombies rushed forward and attacked the orcs wearing iron armor with their teeth and claws, but their attacks could not break through the orcs' defenses at all.
However, metal resources are extremely precious, so how could an army of 200,000 orcs possibly wear full-body iron armor? In fact, most orc soldiers' armor only had some iron plates tied to vital areas for protection. This meant that the orc warriors' armor coverage was far from complete. Moreover, even if you were fully armed, there would always be gaps. As a result, the zombies quickly made progress, scratching and biting the orcs. Although they did not cause a large number of casualties, they had already played their role. The zombies' greatest characteristic, 'infection,' gradually began to appear on the orcs.
The bitten orcs quickly collapsed to the ground, their pupils losing color in an instant. Then, these corpses abruptly rose and joined the zombie army. Initially, the zombies were easy to deal with; the orc soldiers, with their superior weapons, could kill them with a single strike. But as armored orc soldiers joined the zombie ranks, the orcs gradually realized something was amiss. Why were their enemies increasing in number and becoming more troublesome?!
So the orcs decisively abandoned their 'traitorous' companions and withdrew from the city gates. At this time, the zombies' weakness of 'slow movement speed' also became apparent. Just as the orc archers were preparing to use ranged attacks to kite and eliminate these troublesome monsters, the dire wolves rushed out of the city gates, interrupting their plans.
The Dire Wolves' objective was clear: to target ranged units wearing leather armor. Since these units were meant to snipe from the rear, they typically wore armor of a lower tier than frontline warriors to save costs. This gave the Dire Wolves, a raiding force with high movement speed and high damage but limited ability to deal with heavily armored units, an opportunity to shine.
Upon seeing this, the orc soldiers around him immediately rushed forward to try to rescue their comrades. At the same time, the dire wolf riders behind them also rushed to the scene to provide support. But then a dark shadow appeared, and the orc soldiers wearing heavy armor were instantly snapped in the neck and died on the battlefield. It was the low-level vampires who had been dispatched!
Immediately afterwards, the Sky Demons flew down from the city walls, swooped down to grab the dire wolf riders, and then hurled them down from the sky. The archers were too busy chasing the dire wolves to help them, so these aerial units were completely unattended and began a one-sided massacre. At the same time, the low-level vampires were also reaping the battlefield with extremely fast movement speed. The zombies in the rear were about to catch up when the appearance of the three-headed dread beasts became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The Fear Beasts are war beasts that possess innate fear magic. Their enormous size also gives them the terrifying combat power to kill dozens of orcs in an instant. This instantly turned the situation on the battlefield into a one-sided crushing defeat. The orcs collapsed under the combined effects of their massive casualties and the Fear Beasts' fear magic. The scene that followed was a vampire army of less than 10,000 men chasing after an orc army that outnumbered them by more than five times. The already broken orcs did not even dare to fight back and only cared about running away, like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of their enemies.
This is why no race wants to fight with vampires. First, their territories are mostly unsuitable for normal creatures to live in and have no value for invasion. Second, their troops are really troublesome and disgusting, and their abilities are abnormal. The more enemies they have, the happier they are. Fortunately, the vampire population is very small, so they do not have high demands for territory. Therefore, under normal circumstances, vampires will not have conflicts with other races and thus war will break out.
Of course, it's not impossible to fight them. High-level vampires are incredibly rare. As long as you have a unit that knows light magic, you can easily slaughter vampire troops. Unfortunately, the orcs don't know light magic, so they can only be utterly crushed. The poor orcs finally remembered the fear of being dominated by these monsters.
The situation on the last side, where Argrede led the human forces, was far from optimistic. The orc marshal personally led the attack, and the well-trained orc army switched between various formations. The human arrow rain and ambushes could not inflict any effective damage on them. Soon, the orc army arrived at the city gate, and the huge ogre moved the battering ram. At this time, Shakdar tried to use the same trick as before and dropped bombs, but the falling explosives were detonated in the air by the orc shamans using witchcraft. Although the fragments killed many orcs, the battering ram was not destroyed.
Even though Agred had been using nature magic to inflict considerable damage and trouble on the orc army, the orc shamans were not to be underestimated. The mage team was constantly tied down by the orc shamans and unable to provide support on the battlefield.
At this moment, countless human soldiers on the city wall were fighting to the death with the orc troops who were climbing up. Just as the ogres used battering rams to smash open the heavy city gate, a loud horn sounded, drawing the orcs' attention to their rear.
A cavalry regiment of about 10,000 men appeared on the mountains behind them. The newcomers were none other than Avalon's strongest force, the Valkyries!
Riding on the first generation of the white stag war beast that Argrede had sent to the palace, the cavalry charged down the hillside towards the orc troops below. The orc marshal smiled dismissively and calmly directed his troops to meet the enemy, after all, a mere ten thousand men, even cavalry, were not a threat.
Orc spearmen positioned themselves at the front, using their extended spears to block the cavalry charge. As soon as the cavalry charged, they would use the length of their weapons to dismount them.
Just then, a pile of boulders suddenly appeared from afar and crashed into the orc army, disrupting their formation. The treants had arrived on the battlefield!
Ancient tree spirits, towering over twenty meters tall, appeared before the orcs from afar, instantly terrifying them. The Valkyrie troops seized the opportunity to charge into the loosely packed orc ranks, beginning a one-sided massacre. At the same time, they activated the special ability of their war beasts, 'Radiance'. Radiance releases a special white light that directly burns away the enemy's visual senses, while also possessing a holy effect. It has a strong restraining effect on dark magic and witchcraft. In military battles, this is a terrifying ability, after all, if the enemy is blinded, they are at your mercy.
At this moment, the morale of the human troops on the city wall soared, and the entire army launched an attack to join the main force in encircling and annihilating the orcs. Although the orc marshal saw that things were not going well, he still gritted his teeth and continued to command the troops to fight back. Unfortunately, the giant ancient tree spirits had already arrived on the battlefield, and the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.
Don't be fooled by the fact that tree spirits seem to move slowly. In reality, they are just as fast as ordinary cavalry. One step they take is equivalent to dozens or even hundreds of steps a horse can run. So the idea that large creatures move slowly is a misconception. They simply lack the agility to stop or change direction quickly due to inertia.
Meanwhile, on the other two battlefields, tree spirits arrived and stabbed the orc legions in the back, surrounding them. Just as the orc shamans were about to launch a magical attack to provide support, the ground beneath their feet suddenly erupted, with countless vines shooting out to bind them. Upon seeing this, Agred immediately unleashed a magical attack that killed the orc shamans.
After killing the orc shaman, Agred looked into the distance to find the caster of the nature magic, and upon closer inspection, he saw that it was Heya! She had ultimately disobeyed Agred's advice and slipped out of the elven kingdom, and at the crucial moment, she helped Agred eliminate the most troublesome orc shaman.
