The Knights of the Silver Hand had just crossed the snow bridge and were approaching the majority of the Orcs in an arrow formation. Most of the Orcs in the north discovered the movements of the Knights of the Silver Hand. After a brief commotion, the majority of the Orcs quickly organized about 2
More than a hundred warriors formed a defensive formation, of which more than 50 wolf cavalry were deployed on the right wing. Most of the orcs were old, weak, women and children, and could not escape far, so they simply stayed where they were.

As the charge of the Silver Hand knights got closer and closer, the speed reached its peak. More than 50 orcs' wolf cavalry charged towards the Silver Hand knights with howling wolves and orcish curses.
Orc wolf cavalry are called predators within the orc tribe. The predators riding on wolves were once considered the bravest warriors in the orc tribe. These powerful warriors are armed with heavy axes and warhammers and rush to the battlefield, relying on them.
Defeat your enemies with cunning and cruel mounts.
The warg under the crotch of the orc predator is nearly 3 meters tall and weighs about 3,000 pounds. It is a very ferocious large social beast on the grassland. It has almost no natural enemies and is extremely bloodthirsty. Currently, only the orcs have mastered it on the continent of Toril.
How to tame a warg.
However, due to the bloodthirsty nature of wargs, domesticating wargs requires a large amount of meat. On grasslands with scarce resources, only medium and large orc tribes with more than 10,000 people can tame them in small quantities. Even the peak of the orc empire thousands of years ago can only be domesticated.
It is worth having more than 30,000 wolf cavalry.
Wargs have natural blood suppression on human war horses. The bloodthirsty aura of wargs can make most war horses that have not been strictly trained tremble and become frantic. At the same time, the wargs themselves are also extremely powerful, far taller and taller than human war horses.
Carnivorous beasts are instinctive by nature. The strength of the orc wolf cavalry is not just as simple as 11=2. The combat effectiveness against the human knights is simply doubled.
Due to the physiological structure of the warg, after riding the orc marauder, the explosive power is slightly inferior to the human war horse, and the endurance is even worse. However, the strong and tall body of the orc and the ferocity of the warg make the orc wolf cavalry able to face the general human legion.
Less wins more, usually a single charge can completely defeat the human legion, and then turn the war into a one-sided massacre.
But this time the Orc Wolf Cavalry faced the Silver Hand Knights, one of the seven major knights in the mainland, responsible for the combat effectiveness of the human race. The Shire horse under the Silver Hand Knight's crotch was bred from the elf war horse of the high elves.
Elven war horses belong to Warcraft. They are naturally brave and agile, with extremely strong speed, endurance and explosive power. They are not afraid of wargs. Even though the blood of the charles of the Knights of the Silver Hand is generally scarce, the inherited genes and acquired training are still there.
He didn't panic when facing wargs and didn't lose any of his fighting power.
What's more, the Storm Fortress in the northernmost part of the Shire Territory is the residence of the Knights of the Silver Hand. For thousands of years, the Shire Territory has been responsible for defending against the orcs, not only against the annual invasion of the orcs, but also against the Silver Hand.
The Knights even go deep into the grasslands from time to time to harass and eliminate small tribes of orcs around them. They are very familiar with the habits and types of the orc army, and they also have ways to deal with the orcs and wolf riders.
The Orc Wolf Cavalry and the Silver Hand Knight are getting closer and closer. The knights can clearly see the ferocious face and long fangs of the Orc as well as the white breathing breath of the Warg. It seems that they can also smell the fishy smell of the Orc Wolf Cavalry.
the taste of.
When the distance between the two parties approached 200 yards, Iloth grabbed the javelin carried by Sharma under his crotch, raised it high, and made a gesture of preparing to throw. The rest of the Silver Hands did the same.
At 150 yards, the size of the orc wolf cavalry and the wargs under their crotches instantly grew a bit larger, and they glowed faintly red, and their eyes were all blood red.
"Bloodthirst, there is an orc shaman," the knight squadron leader shouted! "Find it and kill it first."
100 yards away, the faint silver light on Ilosi's body lit up, and he took the lead in throwing the javelin. The javelin was wrapped in the cold light of silver fighting spirit and shot straight at the charging orc wolf cavalry at the front. The wolf cavalry charging in front only
Seeing a flash of silver light in front of him, he felt a chill in his heart. He lowered his head and looked at his chest. A transparent hole as big as a bowl appeared on his chest. The rough stainless steel heavy armor on his body had been penetrated. The orc cavalry fell on his crotch.
The warg was immediately trampled into mud by other wolf cavalry in the rear.
The javelin thrown by Elos continued to have momentum, and penetrated the chests of the two wolf cavalry behind them one after another before falling to the ground.
After Iloth threw the javelin, the other Knights of the Silver Hand also threw the javelin in their hands. The javelin, carrying the powerful strength of the knights and the speed brought by the sprint of the horses, rained towards the ranks of the orcs and wolf riders.
go.
In an instant, the knights of the Silver Hand had thrown all three javelins on their horses, and most of the orc marauders and wargs fell down, and they were all nailed to the ground by the javelins. The javelins as thick as a thumb were thrown so close.
Due to the distance and the power of a heavy throwing weapon, even the physically strong orcs and huge wargs were found dead or pinned to the ground unable to move.
The reason why the Knights of the Silver Hand ranks first in the continent of Toril is that, in addition to the bravery and proficiency of the knights in the north, there are three important factors that allow the Silver Hand to become one of the seven major knights.
The first factor is mastering the technology to breed Shire horses in large numbers.
The second factor is that the Shire Territory has high reserves of mithril ore veins and black iron ore veins, and its forging technology is second only to the dwarves and elves in Toril.
The third factor is that the Knights of the Silver Hand are the only knights among the heavy knights with long-range projection capabilities. The people of the Shire have been fierce since ancient times, and they often use hunting to make up for the lack of food. Many people in the north will hunt for food.
Bow archery and javelin throwing skills.
It is inconvenient for heavily armored knights to mount and shoot on horseback. At the same time, the power of most knights' bows and arrows is not enough to cause effective damage to enemies who are also heavily armored. Therefore, they chose javelins with a shorter range but great power. Therefore, the Silver Hand's combat effectiveness
Go to the next level.
In an instant, more than half of the orcs and wolf riders were lost. Under the influence of bloodlust, the remaining orcs, panting heavily and unaffected by the death of their kind, rushed towards the Silver Hand's battle formation.
After throwing the javelin, the Knights of the Silver Hand immediately raised their lances and pointed their lances horizontally or nearly horizontally at the remaining Orc Wolf Riders in front of them, preparing to use the charge bonus to assassinate the enemy.
Horse hooves were like thunder and lances were like forests. The moment the two knights came into contact, the Knight of the Silver Hand took advantage of the length of the lance in his hand and took the lead in piercing the lance into the chest of the orc predator. At the same time, he immediately gave up the orc body that was inconvenient to pull out.
They took out their respective secondary weapons, and when they passed by the orcs and wolves, they gave the flying wargs a fatal blow. Only three knights of the Silver Hand slowed down for a moment and were caught.
The warg fell from his mount to the ground.
The Knight of the Silver Hand who was knocked to the ground quickly got up, killing the warg whose master had died in battle.
After the charging Silver Hand knights slowed down their horses, they immediately turned around and struck the orcs and wargs who were still alive, and then quickly organized their formation to prepare for a second charge against the orcs ahead.
In this cavalry charge, more than 50 orcs and wolf cavalry crashed into a silver steel city wall like a tide. They disappeared without even a splash. The other orcs were stunned and in disbelief. In the eyes of the orcs,
The invincible marauder and the warg under his crotch were wiped out in a single charge by the cowardly human. The knight on the opposite side seemed to have basically no damage at all.
After being surprised, the orcs became angry and kept shouting to show these despicable, cowardly and cowardly humans.
At this time, one of the orcs, an orc shaman wearing black animal skin, wearing a human skull decoration on his head, holding a knuckle scepter, and a green-faced fang, came out and waved the scepter in his hand to the orc infantry formed in front.
A thick red mist floated from the joint scepter to the orc infantry at an extremely fast speed and enveloped them. These orc infantry also became taller in an instant, their eyes were filled with blood-red color, and their bodies were vaguely...
The red mist exudes is the signature spell of the shaman among the orcs, and it is also a spell dedicated to serving the war - bloodthirsty.
Bloodthirsty is a unique spell of orc shamans. It can eliminate the fear in the hearts of orcs, create a desire for blood and killing, and increase one's own speed and strength. Bloodthirsty can only be cast by shamans who believe in the beast god.
Orc shamans are different from spellcasters of other races. They have spells that can directly cause damage. Instead, they are proficient in all kinds of evil and vicious witchcraft that enhance, gain, and reduce the enemy's combat effectiveness. The effects of these spells are extremely obvious in wars.
, can significantly improve the combat effectiveness of the orc army, and bloodthirsty is one of the representatives. The lowest level orc shaman will cast bloodthirsty. The difference is that the scope of influence and the effect produced vary according to the level of mana.
At the same time, the evil spells mastered by shamans are even more difficult to guard against, such as the fear spell, which is a spell born out of demons. When cast on the enemy, it can shake the enemy's will and amplify the enemy's fear of death. People with weak will can even directly
He broke down and ran away.
The bloodthirsty spell plays a great role in group warfare, but it also has great disadvantages. The bloodthirsty spell cannot be cast on the orc warriors for a second time in a short period of time. This will consume a large amount of the orc warrior's vitality. At the same time, when the bloodthirsty spell fails, it will
The orc warrior's physical strength will be drained, his willpower will also be reduced, and he will not be able to bear the second bloodthirsty spell. If the enemy is not eliminated at this time, the side effects of the bloodthirsty spell will appear, and the orcs will face a collapse situation.
"Kill all these human cowards and build their heads into a temple to worship the beast god!" the orc shaman roared.
The more than 200 orc warriors who were subjected to the bloodthirsty spell were breathing heavily, and their minds were filled with desire for blood and killing. The strength of these orc warriors was far inferior to that of the orc predators who controlled wargs, and their control capabilities were also poor.
, before the orc commander gave the order, some orc infantry who could not control themselves roared and rushed towards the Silver Hand knights, and then more orcs also shouted and charged.
The orc commander was strong, a high-level warrior, and was less affected by the bloodthirsty spell. At this moment, seeing the orc warriors charging without obeying the command, he could only scream angrily and curse, and had no choice but to follow the orc infantry towards Baiyin.
hand.
Except for the commander's rough steel heavy armor, which is almost the same as the wolf rider, these orc infantry all wear simple armor mixed with wood and iron, and hold rough double-edged axes. Although rough, they are better than
It is heavy enough to pose a great threat to ordinary human soldiers.
Eloise pulled out the two-handed giant sword behind him. This two-handed giant sword was called Broken Star. It was almost transparent blue and had no complicated decorations. It was made of meteorite iron and was the home of Grand Duke Grosz of the Shire Territory.
The legendary sword. The Broken Star sword has a thickness of about 1.5 centimeters, a blade width of one chapter, and a length of 180 centimeters. It is almost as long as a spear, even slightly taller than Iloth. The hilt is 40 centimeters. There are 30 centimeters on the blade near the guard.
The blade has a blood groove on the blade without a centimeter edge, and mysterious magic runes are constantly wandering around the hilt and body of the sword, showing that the Broken Star is a transcendent enchanted weapon.
This two-handed sword is very huge and extremely heavy. Ordinary knights can only control the sword by holding the sword with both hands. But Elos can control it effortlessly with one hand.
The Star-Shattering Blade in Iloth's hand pointed at the orc commander. After discarding their lances, the other knights each took out their best secondary weapons. Under Iloth's order, they organized a second charge.
Charge the orc infantry.
Although there are only more than 100 riders, their momentum is as if the sky is collapsing. The Silver Hand's troops are unstoppable, and all enemies standing in front of them will be wiped out.
