Richard rode a red flame horse in front of the team, followed by seven champion knights and a large group of elite centaurs. Behind them were dozens of members of the Red Flame Knights, and dozens of Silver Flyers floating in the low air.
Horse cavalry.
Now the main horse power of the Hunter family has basically gathered here. As for the system infantry of the brigade a little further back, only these system infantry who can enjoy the speed bonus of treasures and skills can barely do it.
Keep up with these four-legged and even winged allies.
Richard immediately had a relaxed expression. At present, it seems that there should be no sky-level power among the orcs, otherwise it would not be so easy for his Royal Griffin to detect. As long as there is no existence of the sky-level in the opponent's team, the remaining
Everything is easy to say,
To put it bluntly, a few strong men of the earth level are no longer a big trouble in the eyes of Richard now.
"Order the surrounding patrols not to engage in combat with each other, and just spread out far away. Let's speed up."
"yes!"
…
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The heavy sound of hoofbeats came from far to near. This sound of iron hoofs not only shook the ground, but also shocked Tal's heart.
This is at least a movement that can be made by hundreds of heavy cavalry. Tarr, who has experienced many battles, can distinguish heavy cavalry from light cavalry from the sound of hoofbeats. He has only seen such movements of large groups of heavy cavalry at Dragon Breath Pass.
I've seen him on the battlefield several times.
When did a large-scale heavy cavalry appear in the Northland? Originally, even the strongest Lanster family only had some light cavalry, and suffered heavy losses in the last battle.
We really can’t blame Tarr’s intelligence for being out of date. The Hunter family’s development speed is indeed a bit unbelievable. In just a few months, not only the heavy cavalry, but also the knights composed entirely of knight-level masters have emerged.
In terms of military force, the military power of Northland, which Tarr thought had suffered heavy losses, was actually several levels higher than that of Northland when the Lanster family was the leader. Unclear intelligence can kill people.
"Brother Tal, what should we do?"
Not only was Tarr aware that something was wrong with the sound of horse hooves, but the orcs around him, including Hypatia, were all experienced in combat.
Facing hundreds of heavy cavalry in such a plain area, even if each of them is a strong orc, they would not want to do such a reckless thing.
"Retreat to those hills over there first, at least don't fight here."
"good!"
Although this area is mostly an endless plain of black soil, there are still small patches of hills and trees visible to the naked eye not far away. However, the area of the forest is too small and relatively isolated. In fact, it is not a suitable place to retreat.
But I really have no choice at this moment. If I don't retreat into the woods, I can't just stand on the plain and wait to be charged by the heavy cavalry.
Facing the charging heavy cavalry on the unprotected plain, I am afraid that only myself and Hypatia in the entire team have a chance to survive.
The orc team led by Tarr moved very quickly. As soon as Tarr gave the order, everyone ran away regardless of physical exertion.
The movement speed of this elite team is really not slow. At least in this short-distance burst, the speed of these orcs, who are at least warrior-level, has exceeded the speed of horses.
"Ah."
"Order, with the small hills in the southeast as the center, patrols will be deployed within ten miles. I won't let anyone with a breath of life go."
"Yes, sir!"
The actions of Tarr and others fell into Richard's eyes. Although they delayed their defeat, they actually entered a military crisis. It was a choice to seek death, but it was just an early death or a late death.
Richard can actually order Chilong and other air units to intercept, wait for the cavalry on his side to approach, and then directly kill the opponent with a crushing force. Anyway, after basically confirming that the opponent does not have a sky-level strongman, Richard will
I am very confident about the strength of the champion knights behind me,
But since the other party has chosen to hide in such a military base, Richard is not in a hurry. He can take his time and directly surround the small hilly area with three circles inside and three outside.
It would be better to even try to lure the opponent to surrender by attacking the opponent's mind. The opponent is just a group of orcs. This is the conclusion that Richard came to through intelligence and observation of the Royal Griffin in the air.
Although there are not many half-orcs living in the human world, there are always some examples. In particular, the prestigious White Wolf Warriors in the Western Region has attracted almost most of the half-orc masters from the Golden Dragon Kingdom to serve. Richard does not mind that he also has a group of half-orcs.
Good hands work,
The key to this mission is that the shadows from the orcs are mainly for exploration, and there is no requirement for killing. This group of orcs is obviously just the first person to investigate. This group of orcs who dared to break into the Hunter family's territory to investigate without any clues.
Taking prisoners and asking for information about the orcs is what Richard wants most.
"Brother Tar, is that a giant dragon?"
"Roar!"
Before Tal and the others who had just entered the hill had time to breathe a sigh of relief, a familiar and somewhat uncomfortable roar came from the sky!
Hypatia looked at the figure of the red dragon passing by, with some uncertainty in her tone. She had seen the style of dragon knights. Those strong human beings riding green and golden dragons could always repel the orc attacks at critical moments.
, a large number of our own soldiers would be killed every time, so Hypatia was very impressed.
This dragon roar gave her a very familiar feeling, but the color was somewhat inconsistent with the human dragon knight in her impression.
"What happened in the northern land of mankind? Even the dragon knight came out?"
Compared to Hypatia's doubts, Tal was quite sure that it was the giant dragon. In order to defeat humans, the orcs once wanted to spend a lot of money to form an alliance with the black dragon clan. Unfortunately, the plan failed because the orcs were too poor and the black dragons were not interested at all.
No, although the plan did not succeed, Tarr was a member of the black dragon clan who accompanied the team on an envoy. He was lucky enough to see the appearance of a red dragon, so he naturally knew that it was not a sub-dragon species, but a real giant dragon.
No matter how frightened the orcs were, after showing off his strength with the red dragon, Richard also led his team to the hill chosen by Tarr and others.
"Sir, they are inside. Their escape just now must have consumed a lot of energy. Do we want to go in and pursue them?"
"No need, call in all the surrounding patrols and cavalry teams and surround this place first. We'll surround it for two days first."
Richard looked at the hills at the end that could be seen clearly with the naked eye, and did not issue a direct attack order. Anyway, there were royal griffins patrolling in the air, systematic troops on the ground, and a steady stream of peasant and soldier reserve troops coming, and a red line.
dragon shock,
Give the opponent enough pressure first, and after the opponent fails to escape twice, it is a good time to induce them to surrender...
