The sky is getting brighter and earlier in the North, and soon after the rooster crows it is already completely bright.
Most of the Jingbei Army, led by Marquis Wade, has left Fort Hull and marched into the wilderness.
Yesterday, the Sword Eagle Knight sent a message that the ogre tribe has begun to move east again. If they cannot be intercepted in the wilderness in time, they will definitely cause greater harm when they break into the human territory of the North.
Marquis Wade was riding on the horse with a serious face and a precise word. The entire Jingbei Army remained silent except for the occasional shout from an officer. A truly elite army knew when to maintain its physical strength.
Although the temperature in the North is not too hot now, the sunshine in the North is very scorching. However, the soldiers of the Jingbei Army who grew up in the North have long been accustomed to this kind of sun.
Almost all of them have dark skin, but they never feel there is anything wrong with them, and they are even proud of it. It is the fair and handsome young man like Richard who looks a bit different in the eyes of the people in the North.
An eagle cry broke the silence of the team, and a nearly three-meter giant eagle landed in front of Marquis Wade. A slender female soldier wearing light leather armor got off the back of the giant eagle.
This giant eagle is the only aerial unit in the Golden Dragon Kingdom besides the Dragon Knight, the Sword Eagle Knight. The sword eagle's beak is half a meter long and as sharp as a sword, hence the name Sword Eagle.
Since the sword eagle was domesticated by humans, the Golden Dragon Kingdom has formed the signature unit of sword eagle knights. Most of the sword eagle knights are women. After all, women are generally more slender and lighter in weight. The sword eagle has an average load-bearing capacity and has to take into account its continuous flight ability.
, only women who are generally lighter can be chosen to do the job.
The sword eagle itself is difficult to domesticate, so the number of sword eagle knights is also limited. The total number of sword eagle knights in the entire kingdom is less than a thousand, and the Lanster family even has less than a hundred in their hands. It can be said that each of them is a treasure.
The female soldier who got off the eagle's back walked up to Marquis Wade in three or two steps. The soldiers around her did not stop her.
During wartime, Sword Eagle Knights are generally responsible for aerial reconnaissance missions. If there is an emergency, they have the right to report directly to their commander to save time.
"Good day, Lord Marquis."
The female soldier first gave a slight salute to Marquis Wade, and then reported
"Most of the ogres are currently camping ten miles away from the army."
After hearing this, Marquis Wade couldn't help but frown. These ogres actually put on a posture of wanting to fight the Jingbei Army.
Although Marquis Wade came with most of the Jingbei Army to resist the enemy, he mostly wanted the ogres to retreat in spite of the difficulties.
A super-large ogre tribe of three thousand people means that there are at least 1,500 quasi-knight level combatants and more than ten ogre warriors corresponding to the knight level.
And to be able to control such a large ogre tribe, there must be at least one ogre chief with the level of a great knight.
Moreover, this super-large ogre tribe also has tens of thousands of kobold vassals. Although these kobolds have low combat effectiveness,
An ordinary farmer can hit two or three with a shovel, but they are cheap and fearless of death. When paired with ogres, they can also cause a lot of trouble for the Jingbei Army.
If we really have to fight in a real fight, although Marquis Wade is confident of winning, the Jingbei Army may have to suffer a lot of losses.
However, no matter whether the ogres on the opposite side want to fight to the end or retreat in the face of difficulties, Marquis Wade and the Jingbei Army have absolutely no room for retreat.
"Continue to monitor the ogre's movements."
"yes!"
The sword eagle knight quickly returned to the sword eagle's back, and then the sword eagle flapped its wings and headed west.
"Send the order, all ministries should speed up."
Now that the ogres had put on a posture that they must fight, Marquis Wade also abandoned his illusions and prepared to completely annihilate this ogre tribe.
…
wilderness battlefield
"Kill!" A cavalryman caught up with the fleeing kobold in front of him. The spear in his hand accurately penetrated the kobold's back chest. The strong force stabbed the kobold through him and lifted him into the air.
This kobold carried on a spear kept whimpering and struggling in the air with its strong vitality.
But then the ranger on horseback shook the spear violently, and the kobold on the spear was thrown violently and fell to the ground aside. His legs trembled a few times and died.
"Hahaha, these bastards are so vulnerable."
The Jingbei Army has arrived at the ogre camp, and the rangers of the Jingbei Army are clearing out the opponent's scouts. The ogres use these sensitive and fast-acting kobolds as scouts and scatter them around the Jingbei Army.
But no matter how fast the kobolds ran, they could not outrun the tall four-legged horses. Once discovered by the Jingbei Army's rangers, what followed was a one-sided massacre.
These kobold scouts with low combat effectiveness have basically become toys for the Jingbei Army cavalry to relax and have fun before the war.
At this time, Marquis Wade had led several senior officers to a high ground with a relatively wide view and observed the ogre camp.
The ogres directed the kobolds to lay down wooden stakes and use iron wood to make some loose horses. The whole camp looked chaotic, reflecting the low level of manufacturing of the wilderness tribes.
After observing for a while, Marquis Wade looked at the people on the side.
"Weru, what do you think?"
Weilu is the cavalry commander of the Jingbei Army and the eldest son of Marquis Wade. He has served in the Jingbei Army all year round. With his peak knight strength, he is considered a popular candidate to be the next Marquis of the North.
"It's messy and full of flaws. Uncivilized races really don't have much wisdom."
Weilu commented on the ogre camp in a condescending tone. From his perspective, this camp was indeed extremely chaotic. If his men set up the camp like this, he would not be able to help but kill the officer in charge of setting up the camp.
He was dragged out and chopped.
Marquis Wade shook his head after hearing Weilu's evaluation. He actually asked Weilu this question with the intention of taking a test, but obviously Weilu's answer did not satisfy him.
"Don't you think it's a terrible thing that these ogres will set up camp?"
Weilu was slightly startled when he heard this, and seemed to have come to his senses. He fell into a fixed mindset and looked at the ogre camp based on the standards of a human army.
"Take someone to test it out. Be careful not to get too hung up on the fight. Just go around and come back."
"yes!"
As the eldest son of Marquis Wade, Weiru was in charge of thousands of elite cavalrymen of the Jingbei Army. He was also very impressive, and no one would be dissatisfied when he sat in the position of cavalry commander with the peak strength of the knights.
After a while, thousands of cavalry roared out from the camp, and the sound of horse hooves was like thunder.
Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of the ogres. After a commotion, the entire ogre camp entered a state of high alert.
