Chapter 317 Clearing the Orcs 1
The Kunpeng flew westward along the border between the Eastern Development Territory and the Hinterlands, until it was close to the Barov family's Keldaron Island, and then turned towards the Eagle's Nest Mountain Fortress.
The guard of the Barov family looked at the huge black shadow in the sky. He gestured about the size of the black shadow, and then estimated the distance between him and the black shadow in the sky. This experienced guard who was an old hunter suddenly felt as if he was being attacked.
Lightning strikes are common.
He had seen such a huge flying creature before, but he had never seen one this big!
When he was young, he went hunting in the mountains. Because he went too deep into the forest, he also saw the figure of a green dragon that was hundreds of meters long, passing over the mountains in the distance.
The feeling of crushing and fear coming from the soul level, at that time, his legs were no longer in control, and he didn't even know that his ancestral animal horn bow and arrow, which was usually very precious, fell to the ground.
It wasn't until the green figure disappeared behind the mountain that he quickly picked up his treasured horn bow and arrow, swung his legs, and left the forest, trembling all the way.
Since that incident, Keldaron Island has lost an experienced hunter and gained a dedicated city guard.
After all, the legend of a dragon-slaying hunter is just a legend. How can it be something that a mere human hunter can hope for?
Even the high elf ranger didn't dare to say how confident he was that he could hunt dragons, even underage dragons.
Of course, if you can change the target to a young dragon, there will be no problem. After you steal the kill, run away quickly and don't let the dragons or adult dragons who are responsible for guarding you find your traces. It will be fine.
"Dang Dang Dang" the guard sounded the alarm bell on the watchtower.
After other personnel were alerted, they also discovered the huge black shadow in the distance flying towards the Hinterlands.
The whole town fell silent instantly. Everyone stopped what they were doing and raised their heads to look at the mysterious object flying across the sky and towards the south.
It wasn't until the behemoth entered the high mountains of the Hinterlands that the humans in this area resumed their work at hand.
However, talking after drinking and eating is indispensable. A little shock can be exchanged for talking points to show off in the future, so it’s not a loss no matter how you look at it!
When the huge Kunpeng appeared outside Eagle's Nest Mountain, the Wildhammer dwarves did not panic much.
They had already obtained relevant information from the tribesmen involved in the construction, and knew that this giant ship would come to Eagle's Nest Mountain recently to help them eliminate the orcs entrenched in the forest.
After the Kunpeng arrived, a large number of gryphon knights flew out from the top of the Eagle's Nest Mountain Fortress and landed on the Kunpeng's flat top runway with familiarity.
The original design intention of this behemoth included the function of carrying air units to the battlefield, allowing them to save physical strength or fuel.
The Griffin Knights had also tried the deck of the giant ship parked on the ground before, and they were also arranged in an orderly manner on the deck track.
The Wildhammer dwarves and humans formed a joint ground army and began to prepare, with steam tanks taking the lead, to explore the virgin forests of the Hinterlands that had never been penetrated before.
Thanks to Zhang Weidao's subjugation of the Amani trolls, the forest trolls in the Hinterlands who had been integrated by Zul'jin had already received a message from Lord Malacath and began to harbor suspicion against the orc army.
The great deeds of the gods instantly killing four Loa gods have been spread among the upper echelons of several large tribes.
Although they didn't quite believe what the magic lord said about the power of the gods, the Amani troll, the most powerful among the forest trolls, said so, and there must be some truth to it.
These large tribes began not to cooperate with the orcs in coordinated operations, and at the same time drove the orcs away from the altar of Zul and the altar of Shadraro to prevent these damn greenskins from causing disaster.
They didn't want their Loa god to be killed by the supposedly powerful god because he was close to the orc army. That would be such an unjust death!
Trolls have such a character. They have no resistance to gods at all. Let alone worshiping gods when they see them, they will still worship them as gods even if they are powerful animals.
They said they didn't believe that the gods were that powerful, but in fact they were already so frightened that when they saw Zhang Weidao, the god, they hurriedly offered their knees to worship him.
The orc army, which was blasted out of the gathering place by the forest trolls, also began to panic.
They thought that the fact that they abandoned the Amani trolls and ran away alone was exposed, so they took the initiative to stay away from these trolls to prevent them from being suddenly attacked.
Without the help of the forest trolls, relying only on a few orc tribes who are good at jungle and forest warfare will definitely not be able to control the situation. Their number is too small.
Most of these orc infantry, who were not good at forest warfare, were led by Orgrim and stationed in a undulating mountainous area north of the Altar of Shadralo in order to maximize the combat effectiveness of the orc infantry.
This strategic location guarding one of the few roads in the forest seemed to Orgrim to be a perfect place to camp.
The mountainous environment can effectively contain artillery bombardment, and can also avoid sneak attacks by enemies. Those trolls that haunt the forest have become a major concern for Orgrim.
But for Zhang Weidao, fighting in strategic locations and mountainous areas are all tricks used to fool people.
If you can fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy in the mountains, it's just because the opponent's aerial firepower is not powerful enough!
In the face of the world-destroying Kunpeng, any attempt to hold on to strongholds would be extremely foolish unless they could dig out a real underground fortress.
When the orc army was busy on the mountainous land with sparse trees, the "rumbling" sound of large troops marching came from the distant road.
As the ground troops approached, the Kunpeng hidden in the clouds also broke through the clouds and began firing artillery shells downwards. At this time, the orcs had no means of air defense and could only wait for the artillery fire to come.
The power of a one-ton cannonball fired vertically is definitely not comparable to that fired horizontally on the ground and on the sea.
Driven by gravity and gunpowder, this kind of artillery shell has the power of a terminal strike of a ballistic missile on the earth. The speed reaches ten to twenty times the speed of sound, which is more terrifying than the electromagnetic rail gun.
Destructive bombardments falling from the sky can often crack mountains and rocks with just one shell, and the shrapnel and gravel flying everywhere swallow up the entire mountainous area.
Although the enemies on the ground have been bombed to ashes, and a large number of unlucky ones have been blown to death, the shortcomings of the slow reloading speed of the giant cannon have also been exposed, allowing the half-disabled orc army to breathe.
The giant ship in the sky reminded Orgrim of the Draenei, a high-tech race with huge spaceships.
But this high-tech race was eventually hunted down by them and almost exterminated. This is why the orcs are not afraid of tanks and artillery.
They have defeated high-tech races before, and technological creations are not worth mentioning in front of the powerful orcs!
The proud orcs selectively forgot about the hordes of warlocks, the demon army they summoned, and the burning legion's war weapons such as hellfire and fel cannon to help out.
Otherwise, with their broadswords and spears, how could they fight against the Draenei driving star battleships, holding magic machine guns, or even driving Holy Light Mechas?
Without the support of the sea of warlocks and sea of demons, the orc army has only one option at this time, which is to desperately attack the enemy ground troops still marching in the forest.
