A Song of Ice and Fire: The Magic Empire of the Plane Where the Song Begins

Since ancient times, there has been a reason for cavalry to attack the city.

The reason why the orcs used wolf cavalry as the vanguard was of course to seize the city gate.

Some time ago, Auckland was besieged by orcs, the capital was besieged, and the whole city was under martial law. During the city defense battle, Auckland relied on the accumulated supplies to survive.

After the orcs retreated and the martial law was lifted, naturally a large number of people and nobles wanted to go out of the city to purchase supplies to replenish the previous consumption, so for a while, the city gates were full of traffic and people came and went.

The wolf cavalry rushed towards the capital at the fastest speed, and immediately destroyed the beacon device when they saw it, so that the city gate guards would not have time to find out, and rushed as far as possible to the city gate. If they could seize the city gate, the battle would be half won.

Oakland's guards were indeed a bit slack, but it was unrealistic to expect the orcs' raid to succeed just by doing so.

Back when Oakland was still part of the Thoradin Kingdom, the purpose of the establishment here was to guard against the trolls in the north.

The mobility of the forest trolls in the north is much higher than that of the orcs in the forest. Back then, Oakland had been tightly guarding the northern border of the Thoradin Kingdom. Suddenly found the orcs in the raid.

The guards were terrified, and quickly issued an order to close the city gate.

Because it is a city built on a mountain, unlike the plains with moats, the capital naturally does not have such things as suspension bridges, but there are still gates.

The hinges turned, and the gate quickly fell, but the orcs who were raiding did not stop.

Before setting off, Durotan had anticipated these possibilities.

Durotan rode a snow-white Frostwolf, leading the large army and galloping towards the city gate.

When the orcs attacked the city before, it was difficult for the orcs to get close to the city wall of Oakland, because the terrain here was steep and the city wall was high. Every time they approached, they would be forced back by the archers on the city wall. If they let the shamans take action, they would suffer The counterattack of the magicians in Oakland was a headache.

It's different now, the whole city is celebrating, and the guards on the city walls are greatly reduced. Magicians are different from soldiers. When there is no war, there will be no large-scale magicians to patrol the army. Teachers are small in number and high in status, and generally they will not be called at will.

Durotan put all his hopes on this attack. This kind of surprise attack can only be used once. If he fails this time, he will have to face a brutal siege.

Taking advantage of the lack of time for the archers in the city to gather, and the sparse arrows could not cause any trouble to the orcs at all, Durotan led the orcs to the city gate with all his might.

When they arrived at the city gate, Durotan led the cavalry to separate, leaving out the shamans in the middle of the team who were riding wargs but were not soldiers.

Because it was a surprise attack, there was no way to carry siege weapons, not to mention that even with weapons, it was difficult to bring them so close to the city gate. This was the first time the orcs had successfully reached the city gate.

Since there are no siege weapons, magic is a good choice.

In the previous attacks, as long as the shaman used spells, he would be blocked by the magician. When the magician cast spells on the opposite side, the shaman of the tribe would also fight back. The situation was very anxious.

Now, finally came the time when there were no mages on the city walls, and Durotan also invested heavily. Drek'Thar picked all the shamans from various clans, and gathered all the shamans who met the standards. During this operation, it was protected layer by layer.

Speaking responsibly, if a large-scale attack is launched to wipe out these shamans, problems will arise in the inheritance of the tribe's senior shamans.

The shamans rode their wargs, took a few steps forward, and at the same time used the shaman spell of lava burst.

the whole tribe,

After regaining the way of shamanism, there are many shamans who can restore their abilities. In addition, the elements of Azeroth are more active, and the number of awakened shamans is also increasing. However, for those who can get elemental help, use The number of lava burst shamans is only about 30, and it is estimated that the number will gradually increase in the future, but now, the tribe has made a big gamble to gather these more than 30 high-level shamans together, several days in advance. The communication element is just for today's attack.

More than 30 shamans, with the help of the fire element, used lava to burst and hit the city gate directly.

The iron bars of the outer gate began to melt under the high temperature, and the wooden city gate on the inner side began to burn. In less than ten seconds, the city gate was already scorched black. At this time, if there is a magician who uses water magic to cool down, it can be saved. It's a pity that the magicians are all attending the party in the city, and now there are only ordinary soldiers on the city wall. .

Durotan didn't have time to wait for the temperature to drop, so he ordered several strong orcs in the tribe to rush up together.

Near the city gate, regardless of the fire that was still burning, the orcs also hammered the city gate fiercely, completely ignoring the flames, scorching their hair and scalding their flesh and blood.

These are all warriors of the tribe. If Durotan hadn't shouldered the heavy responsibility of command and couldn't be easily injured and fell down, he would definitely rush forward.

The city gate, which had been charred and carbonized, was finally overwhelmed before the warriors who smashed the gate were scalded, and a big hole was smashed out.

Several orcs were also scalded. Durotan left a group of orcs to guard the city gate to meet the orc infantry rushing up from behind. He also arranged for three shamans to take care of the wounded orcs and lead the rest of the orcs. , passed through the hot city gate, and entered the capital of Alterac.
