In the dense forests in the north, the sun shines brightly.
Although it has entered autumn, the temperature this year seems to be much hotter than usual. The soldiers of the Northern Route Army marching under the shade of the trees are still sweating from the heat.
However, the soldiers of the Northern Route Army are all well-trained elites. Although they are a little tired from marching long distances, they can basically bear it without any signs of physical exhaustion. They even have faces because of the successive victories during this period.
There is still some joy in it.
"Captain, if we climb over this mound, we will reach Cave Mountain."
"Yes, we actually have the day to capture Yandong Mountain. As long as we capture Yandong Mountain, we should rush into the eastern plateau."
"There must be a lot of orcs stationed in Cave Mountain."
"Of course, the stockade in Yandong Mountain is the last barrier for the orcs in the dense forest. I guess the remaining orcs are concentrated in that area to guard it?"
"What's wrong, are you scared?"
"Ah? What am I afraid of? There are more orcs there and it's too late for me to be happy."
"You don't know, my brother is in the Three Flags Regiment, the same Three Flags Regiment that ran into the orcs' rout a few nights ago."
"A group of orcs were chased by Lord Richard's personal guards and ran around in the forest. They collided directly with the Three Flags Regiment. The Three Flags Regiment killed more than two hundred orcs with almost no losses, including my brother.
, many people in the Three Flags Troupe have contributed to this song, and they can all use it to change their breathing methods."
The soldier's face was full of envy as he spoke. Although the kingdom's rewards for officers are not as heavy as those of the Hunter family, the overall tone still emphasizes military merit. The merit of an orc refers to the merit of an orc head, which is enough to replace several
Ten acres of land or a set of breathing techniques are resources that can change your destiny and are worth risking your life for.
"Don't think about these good things in your mind. Go and clean up the forest with the task force. If you are lucky, you can get half of the credit."
"Now there is no reward for following the task force. I haven't heard a sound of fighting in the past two days. The orcs have probably withdrawn."
Because Qi Erwei took the initiative to retreat, the Northern Route Army did not encounter any fighting in the past few days and was always on the march. Naturally, there was no opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
"Okay, stop talking and save some energy. When you get to Cave Mountain, there are plenty of orcs for you to fight, so why worry."
The captain looked back at the childish-looking soldier. He remembered that this soldier seemed to be the youngest soldier in his team. Although he had joined the army for a year, he had just turned seventeen this year, and he was in compliance with the kingdom's recruitment age limit.
military.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged captain's heart suddenly softened, and he said something out of nowhere.
"You boy, be careful not to rush around when the fight starts. Follow me and fight. It's not fun to get hit by the ax in the orc's hand. Although the credit is good, it must be paid by life."
"What are you afraid of? I have three children. If I die, my elder brother and younger brother will still be here. After I die in the battle, won't I be able to make up some land for my family? Besides, don't we still have Lord Richard's dragon?"
The young soldier didn't seem to care about his life at all. Instead, he regarded his life as a bargaining chip, the kind of bargaining chip that he would play with whenever he found an opportunity.
After hearing this, the captain shook his head and said no more. He just made a gesture to keep quiet, looked ahead and continued moving forward.
…
…
"Master Richard, ahead is Yandong Mountain."
Richard and several generals stood on a hill and looked to the north. It was an almost bare stone mountain lying across the dense forest. Looking from the hill towards Yandong Mountain, the upper half of Yandong Mountain could be clearly seen.
Black rocks are directly exposed on the surface. There are many natural caves on the mountain. Some horses are placed on the trails. The wooden walls are high and thick and fixed against the mountain. The scarlet flag of the Orc Kingdom is also hung on the wall.
, you can vaguely see the orc patrols patrolling back and forth. Relying on the terrain of Cave Mountain, the orcs have indeed built a strong stronghold that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The area of Yandong Mountain is very large. If you want to take a detour, you will probably have to walk a week. Moreover, if you choose to detour, it will be equivalent to handing your own retreat to the enemy. This is absolutely intolerable. Yandong Mountain's
The orc stronghold is a place that must be captured...
…
"General Arcee, do the orcs in Cave Mountain have dragon-hunting crossbows?"
Although Richard did not see large-scale war equipment such as dragon-hunting crossbows placed on the mountain at a glance, this does not mean that there are not any. Those caves are the best places to hide dragon-hunting crossbows. In order to better arrange the battle, Richard opened his mouth to a slightly familiar person.
Some Arcee asked.
"Sir Richard, although we occasionally fight against the orcs in the dense forest, we have never reached the front line of Yandong Mountain. We cannot confirm whether the other party has a dragon-hunting crossbow. But after all, Yandong Mountain is the last barrier from the northern dense forest to the plateau.
Where the base camp of the orc army is in the forest, there is a high possibility that there are one or two dragon-hunting crossbows."
"There may be a dragon-hunting crossbow."
Arcee's answer was quite satisfactory, and he didn't give Richard an accurate answer. In the end, Richard had to make his own judgment.
"Then let's fight as if the opponent has a dragon-hunting crossbow."
"Order the First Army and the Second Army to prepare to attack from the east and west gentle slopes. After the dragon completes the first round of damage to Yandong Mountain, you will immediately lead the army to attack."
"Yes, Lord Richard!"
Although the orcs may have dragon-hunting crossbows, Richard still plans to use the dragon to attack without any scruples. There are only one or two dragon-hunting crossbows on the left and right. As long as they are exposed, they can be destroyed quickly. This time, he still has a few dragon-hunting crossbows.
Only for archangels, if the dragon really suffers a loss, it can be resurrected on the spot through an angel.
"Elena, you lead the outstanding swordsmen, magic mages, fanatics and crusaders to hold the battle, act according to the situation in the battle, and try to help the first and second legions to expand their results."
"Yes, sir."
"Somra."
"Lord Richard!"
"At what distance can you cast chain lightning?"
"I can use chain lightning when I'm within three hundred meters of the enemy."
"Okay, wait a minute and I will take you within 300 meters of Cave Mountain. Before the dragon attacks, you use up all your magic power and release chain lightning on the orcs defending on the mountain."
"Yes, sir."
Somla replied to Richard in a similar voice.
"The attacks on the east and west sides will be organized by the legion commanders respectively. All the dragons will join the battle this time. I also hope to completely capture Yandong Mountain before dark. Do you have any questions about the battle?"
"Master Richard, according to my observation, there are not many orc troops in Yandong Mountain. I suspect that there is a large orc army hiding in the woods and not entering Yandong Mountain. If we are not prepared, I am afraid they will attack us."
Threaten the back of the attacking force during the attack."
"It's okay. I have arranged for Gru to take charge alone. The task force will entangle them in the woods. You only need to attack Cave Mountain with all your strength."
"Then there will be no problem. With Lady Elena and the dragon working together, we promise to capture Cave Mountain before dark."
Arsi, the commander of the first legion, is quite confident in the battle. He has witnessed the battles a few nights ago. Naturally, he knows the level of combat effectiveness of Ms. Elena and those troops that Richard pointed out.
With dozens of giant dragons assisting him in the battle, he felt that he could conquer Cave Mountain even with his eyes closed.
"Get ready to attack."
"Yes, sir!"
The army has already marched here, and Richard does not intend to keep most of the system troops as trump cards. Taking Yandong Mountain is part of his plan. In this battle, not only does the North Route Army have to go all out, but also the system in his hand
The army must also attack with all its strength.
"Woo, woo~"
A huge horn sounded in the woods, which was a signal that the Northern Route Army was preparing to attack.
The two legions quickly arrived at their reserved positions, and the leading flag regiments were already in line and ready to attack.
"This time it's finally our turn to take the lead."
"Brothers, break through Cave Mountain, kill the orcs, and achieve great success!"
"Kill the orcs and achieve great success!"
"Kill the orcs and achieve great success!"
With the commander's simple encouragement, the morale of the attacking troops also increased. The victory during this period basically allowed them to get rid of their original phobia of orcs, and even began to regard orcs as mobile military exploits.
The two flag commanders each led their troops, and from the east and west directions, a total of 10,000 troops marched towards the foot of Yandong Mountain, which was a thousand meters away.
Although Yandong Mountain is wide in scope, the terrain is actually not as good as Langshou Village. There is a large amount of flat land at the foot of the mountain, which can allow the army to launch an attack. If the attacker is a little patient, it can even take a few days to use local materials to build some offensive weapons.
Equipment is put into offensive operations.
"Humans are attacking!"
"Ready to fight!"
"Bring up the logs!"
On Yandong Mountain, the orcs would certainly not be idle. When they saw the Northern Route Army starting to take action, they immediately took action. The attack of the Northern Route Army was carried out openly by the White Heaven, and the orcs were of course ready to prepare.
The orcs guarding the entrance of the cave and stronghold had already propped up their spears and pulled up their bowstrings, waiting for the human army to come within shooting range. Rolling logs and boulders and other objects were also in place, waiting for the human soldiers to attack.
The 10,000 people in the North Route Army actually had no protection, so they just walked straight towards the stronghold at the foot of Yandong Mountain. In order to save time, Richard did not ask the soldiers to build offensive equipment such as shield vehicles, but just let the front soldiers build offensive equipment such as shield vehicles.
The soldiers in the platoon were just holding some shields. If they were to receive a condescending long-range attack from the orcs, the losses would probably not be small.
But how could Richard give the orcs this opportunity? When the two legions launched attacks from the east and west sides at the same time, Richard had already brought Somra to a position exactly three hundred meters away from the orc stronghold in Yandong Mountain.
And quickly removed the Dragon King's divine power from his body.
Somra on the side raised his right hand, and after a brief chant, a blue light emitted from his hand...
…
"When the humans come up, follow my orders and shoot. If the giant dragon comes, remember to spread out and don't show off. Our task is to block the human ground army. The dragon will be left to the bed crossbows and dragon hunting crossbows on the mountain to deal with it."
"yes!"
Although this orc army was trapped in Cave Mountain, their morale was still very high, and they responded to the commander's instructions in unison with great enthusiasm.
The orc commander nodded with satisfaction, this time he would die to show some dignity to the humans.
"ah!"
But before he could be satisfied, an electric arc hit his back. After a short scream, the warrior-level orc commander lost consciousness and fell to the ground...
