Chapter 200 Advancement
On the front line where the legionnaires were fighting the green-skinned orcs, the well-trained legionnaires formed military formations and skillfully slaughtered the green-skinned orcs that were pouring in.
The quality of the legion soldiers is far superior to that of the green-skinned orcs. Even if ordinary green-skinned orcs go berserk, it is basically difficult for them to cause effective damage to the legion soldiers. Even if they stand defenseless, they cannot even penetrate the armor on the soldiers.
However, although ordinary green-skinned orcs are not a big threat, the berserk green-skinned warriors wearing heavy armor and carrying huge axes and hammers are quite a threat.
No one knew where they got the weapons and equipment from, but almost every greenskin warrior that appeared had a set of brand new armor that almost covered their entire body, as well as brand new weapons.
Although most of these weapons and equipment only look bright and beautiful, they are actually shoddy and inferior products. However, no matter how inferior they are, these weapons and equipment are better than nothing.
Coupled with the amazing strength of the green-skinned orcs, the legion soldiers did not dare to resist when they were hit by the hammer and had to raise their shields to defend themselves.
Fortunately, there are not many of these heavily armored green-skinned warriors. Basically, as soon as they appear, they will be listed as key targets for strangulation by the legion soldiers. More than a dozen legion soldiers will quickly surround and strangle them.
Therefore, apart from some unlucky legionnaires who were hammered into the ground and injured, there were basically no good problems.
Moreover, the army of four legions and more than 25,000 soldiers has enough tolerance for error. Even if a legionnaire is injured and retreats, or is exhausted and needs to rest, soldiers from other legions in the rear can quickly fill the gap.
Therefore, although the battle lines between the two sides seemed to be at a stalemate, the real situation was that the legion soldiers were like meat grinders, continuously devouring the influx of green-skinned orcs.
As the green-skinned orcs from the valley town continued to pour in, the number of green-skinned orc corpses piling up on the front line increased. In the end, the green-skinned orc corpses were piled up into a small hill, and the legion soldiers and the green-skinned orcs continued to fight on this hill of corpses.
Roland did not interfere in this battle that was destined to be won. The green-skinned orcs in the valley town were not endless. As long as they kept killing, the legion would win sooner or later. It was also a good opportunity to practice the army's sustained combat capabilities.
However, the course of the battlefield did not turn out as Roland had expected.
Just as the legion soldiers were killing the influx of green-skinned orcs, a riot suddenly broke out behind the green-skinned orcs.
As the sounds of fighting rang out, another military force seemed to appear behind the green-skinned orcs to confront them.
Roland raised his head and extended his perception.
Passing through layers of green-skinned orcs and simple green-skinned wooden buildings, Roland saw the fighting and fighting behind the green-skinned orcs.
A group of dwarves who appeared out of nowhere are occupying advantageous building terrain and fighting with the greenskins.
They pushed down the greenskin buildings and built a platform from low to high with wooden buildings. They occupied the high ground of the platform, while the greenskin orcs kept pouring up from all directions and attacking them.
On the platform, relatively short dwarf warriors wearing exquisite silver-white armor stood at the outermost edge. They waved their war hammers, first breaking the legs of the green-skinned orcs one by one, forcing them to kneel down, and then smashing their heads with another hammer.
Behind them, the unarmored dwarf soldiers holding metal spears continuously attacked the incoming green-skinned orcs through the narrow gaps, helping to relieve the pressure on the dwarf soldiers in the front row.
In addition to these ordinary dwarf soldiers, a dwarf team composed of extraordinary people also ran around on the platform, acting as a fire brigade, and immediately rushed over if they found any unstable battle line. In the center of the platform they protected, some obviously younger dwarves were not idle either. They made some projectiles with local materials and threw them directly at the green-skinned orcs on the periphery without aiming.
Anyway, there are enough green-skinned orcs, and you can hit them easily.
However, although this group of dwarves seemed to be in good condition, they killed a large number of green-skinned orcs and defended the platform.
However, the number of their warriors was still too small, and they could not rotate at all. Once the front-row soldiers ran out of strength, they would be overwhelmed by the endless stream of green-skinned orcs.
Roland withdrew his perception and quickly issued new orders, asking the legion soldiers to speed up their advance.
Anyway, it’s not a difficult task, so just rescue them.
Thinking of this, Roland looked at Hela beside him and spoke.
"Let's do it. We'll have another chance after training. Let's rescue these dwarves first."
Hela nodded and took out the magic book from the space bracelet.
Afterwards, Roland and Hela turned into turrets and cast spells one after another as if they were free.
Roland selected the greenskin priests hiding behind the greenskin warriors, and cast a three-ring spell on each of them, taking them all away and killing them.
Hela chose the place where the green-skinned orcs gathered in groups, and cast large-scale necromancy spells one by one. The flesh of the green-skinned orcs who fell into frenzy was corroded in the frenzy, and finally their bodies rotted to the point that they could not stand upright, and they died from the rotting of their flesh with a fanatical look on their faces.
After Roland killed the greenskin priest and stopped the orcs' continued frenzy, and Hela cleared a large area, the legion soldiers took the opportunity to advance quickly.
As the last berserk green orc on the front line was killed by the legion soldiers, the green orcs who had not yet recovered a little bit of sanity looked at the piles of green corpses on the battlefield and the legion soldiers who were almost covered in green blood. They turned around and ran without any hesitation.
The green-skinned orcs' front line collapsed completely.
Under Roland's orders, the legionnaires did not chase them frantically, but maintained their formation and advanced forward steadily.
However, even so, as the green-skinned orcs from other areas were still pouring in, the defeated green-skinned orcs mixed with these green-skinned orcs, pushing and shoving each other, causing them to escape slowly and they were easily caught up by the legion soldiers.
After being defeated and losing the courage to fight, they were massacred by the legion soldiers again. After their numbers were reduced, they were able to retreat a little further. Then they were blocked by the influx of green-skinned orcs. After that, they were massacred, fled, blocked, and massacred again, and the cycle repeated back and forth.
Therefore, even though the legion soldiers killed very quickly and efficiently, and Roland and Hela transformed into turrets to continuously output damage, the number of greenskins was still too large, resulting in the fact that the advancement speed could not become very fast all of a sudden.
