Chapter 14 Baron Harden

Chapter 14 Baron Harden

Author: Lin Quan Hermit

Chapter 14 Baron Harden

Diarra, Richard, Brown and other professional officers, along with veterans, held huge racket sticks, and together they pushed the snake-like man off the city wall.

Just after three successes, the snake-like man came up with a way to deal with it.

A snake-like man pulled back hard and actually dragged Brown and two veterans off the city wall.

The three Browns just stood up and were surrounded by orcs from all sides. In the blink of an eye, their bodies were torn apart.

The time we spent together was short, and the relationship was average.

But in a state of war, friendship not only comes quickly, but also feels extraordinary. If Brown hadn't taken the initiative just now, it would have been Richard who directed the soldiers to push the racket.

Brown died under the city, but Richard was still alive. The reason was that Richard's luck was better than Brown's.

Faced with the tragic death of his comrade, Richard could not remain indifferent at all. He instantly lost his calmness and became red-eyed.

Richard took two steps back, grabbed the enchanted sword from Ron's hand, and rushed towards the snake-shaped man.

The snake-shaped man was fighting with a dozen soldiers, with his back turned to Richard. Facing Richard's fierce sword, he was not even aware of it.

The battlefield was very chaotic, with swords, spears, swords and halberds coming from all directions.

Just as the Snake Man killed three soldiers, Richard struck with a fierce sword from the side, piercing the Snake Man's heart fiercely, and then pushed the Snake Man off the city wall.

After killing the third-level snake body, the experience suddenly increased by two thousand.

The war was at its most critical moment, and it was so urgent and intense that he could not relax for even a second. Richard could only wait until the war was over to gain more killing experience.

Although the battle was relatively short, the Sixth Squadron suffered more than one-third casualties in the face of the absolutely superior Orc army.

Deputy squadron leader Brown fell off the city wall and was killed. Nine squad captains were also killed, two were wounded, and three were wounded. Half of the veteran backbone suffered heavy casualties.

The brutal battle had made most of the soldiers' legs weak, and the Sixth Squadron was about to collapse.

A long horn sounded from a distance, and reinforcements from the rear finally arrived.

Leading the reinforcements was Deputy Captain Sally, who was also at level 4 like Roland.

The reinforcements amounted to more than two squadrons. With the help of this new force, the orc attack was finally repelled without any danger.

The orc army had just been driven off the city wall when an elite cavalry rushed out of the canyon and scattered the orc formation in one fell swoop.

The officer commanding this cavalry was Baron Harden, the supreme commander of the Pratos Line of Defense.

Baron Harden rode a fourth-level wild boar monster and easily broke into the orc army. None of the orc warriors he passed along the way could stop him for a moment.

In a short period of time, more than six orcs died in his hands, including a third-level orc officer.

Charged by the cavalry, the formation of the orc army completely collapsed.

Baron Harden led his knights and followed the orcs leisurely, killing the lone orcs.

The orcs suffered more and more casualties, lost their structure, and soon more than half of them were killed. They ran for their lives, bypassing the road and escaping into the jungle.

The knights were just about to dismount and chase, when Baron Harden raised his left hand and said: "The situation in the forest is unknown. Maybe the orcs have an ambush. Don't chase!"

The cavalry gathered together and handed over the task of cleaning the battlefield to the infantry.

He won the first battle, but there was no joy in Richard's heart.

The comrades we get along with every day suffered a lot of casualties, and many familiar faces will never be seen again.

Broken limbs and broken arms were scattered on the top of the city, and the strong smell of blood spread everywhere.

Richard suppressed the mixed emotions in his heart and led his soldiers to clean the battlefield.

The captured orcs gathered together, and the living orc captives were more valuable than the dead heads.

For example, you can only get three small skills by killing a snake-like person, but you can get one medium skill by capturing a healthy snake-like person.

The combined achievements of more than twenty orc captives are already very impressive.

Of course, not all of these achievements belong to the Sixth Squadron. Four and a half squadrons of the Eighth Battalion participated in the battle.

Two and a half squadrons defended the city, and two squadrons were added.

It was the Baron Cavalry Regiment that played a decisive role.

Everyone will share some of the merits of this battle.

After the war, Baron Harden once again summoned all the officers.

In addition to the knights under the baron and the officers of the Eighth Brigade, there are also officers of the city defense army squadron and above.

"Have the casualties been counted?"

Baron Harden turned to his adjutant.

"Three people from the cavalry regiment were killed, two of them were killed and one was seriously injured. One of the dead was a second-level warrior and the other was a senior apprentice. The seriously injured was Knight Richard."

"How is Richard's injury?"

"At least three months of rest."

Richard is the nephew of Baron Harden, a third-level knight, and his combat prowess can rival Roland's.

When the cavalry regiment attacked the orc army formation, Richard was besieged by four snake-like men. He fell off the warcraft horse and was pinned down by his armored horse, almost dying on the battlefield.

In the middle of a war, even mid-level professionals are actually very vulnerable. The fourth-level tauren on the orc side were not immune to this battle.

Baron Harden nodded, turned to Sharp and asked: "How is the situation in the Eighth Battalion?"

Captain Sharp Walra stood up and said: "Only the Sixth Squadron suffered heavy casualties, and the other four squadrons did not affect their combat effectiveness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Baron Harden suddenly became unhappy and said loudly: "I want detailed casualty figures."

Although the baron didn't say anything too harsh, he still made Captain Sharp sweat profusely.

He quickly summarized the situation of each squadron, stood up for the second time, and said seriously: "The Sixth Squadron suffered the most serious casualties, with 21 killed, nine seriously injured, and 26 slightly injured.

The total number of casualties is fifty-six, which is more than half."

"The Sixth Squadron is a new squadron?"

Baron Harden reacted quickly. Just after hearing the casualty figures, he immediately understood that the Sixth Squadron was not at full strength.

Deputy Captain Sally Darren stood up and replied: "The formation of the Sixth Squadron only took nine months, but we removed more than a dozen key veterans and shortened the formation time. It cannot be regarded as a new squadron. Of course, the combat effectiveness is several times higher."

It’s a bit worse than a main squadron.”

"What are the officer casualties?"

"Deputy squadron leader Brown was killed, deputy squadron leader Richard, and military judge Owen were slightly injured."

Baron Harden nodded and said: "Deploy the best soldiers from the city defense army to supplement the Sixth Squadron. What is the situation of other squadrons?"

"Six members of the Third Squadron were killed, and a total of 17 were lightly and seriously injured. The soldiers stationed at Fortress No. 2 were attacked by harpies. Three were killed and four were seriously injured. There were no minor injuries.

The reinforced Fourth Squadron suffered seven casualties and 19 minor and serious injuries. The Fifth Squadron suffered two casualties and five minor and serious injuries."

"The total number of people in your team does not exceed a thousand, right?"

"Including the squadrons directly under the group headquarters, we have organized seven and a half squadrons, plus the recently added half squadron recruits, the total number is 965. Mainly because several old squadrons are not fully staffed and have some shortages."

"What about the results of the battle? Have they been compiled?"

"This battle killed 621 orcs and captured 23. Seventeen professional orcs were killed, including one fourth-level tauren, five third-level snakes, and third-level harpies.

Two. One second-level kobold, four first-level kobolds, two first-level satyrs, and one second-level werewolf. The remaining orcs are all low-level miscellaneous soldiers.

Among the twenty-three orcs captured, there was a third-level snake-body man. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured. I don’t know if he will survive."
