"Sir Adriello, what exactly does the Lord of the Rising Sun want?"
When Gro made up his mind to fight the Northland Army near the city of Sirgrad, the senior orc generals in the tent stopped arguing and left to take action. The army reorganized the camp, recruited more grain and grass, and conducted reconnaissance tests.
This series of things is quite busy.
When only Gro and Adelillo were left in the big tent, Gro suddenly asked Adelillo a question.
"Of course because we have a common enemy."
"Human? I remember it was recorded in the elven classics that the Lord of the Rising Sun is a rare human god."
After all, Gro is a character from hundreds of years ago. At that time, the gods had not gone far away, and he still had a certain understanding of the gods at Gro's level.
"No god is willing to see magic flourish again. We admit that magic is great, so all traces of magic should be erased."
"So what do we orcs gain at the end?"
"Isn't it enough for the orcs? The fertile soil of the Central Great Plains will become the territory of the orcs again. Your children can grow up healthily. There is no need to use cold water to screen out children with stronger physiques. Your elderly can safely stay in their tents.
There is no need to go into the ice and snow alone in winter just to save some food."
"And what you really pay for is your faith in our Lord."
As the war progressed, the missionary work of the Rising Sun Cult in the Orc Kingdom did not stop for a moment. Not only did it vigorously preach in the newly occupied areas, it also spread throughout the Orc Kingdom, and temples were established in almost all cities.
The Rising Sun Cult is very bluffing. Otherwise, it would not have existed in the Golden Dragon Kingdom for so many years. Now that it has the official support of the Orc Kingdom, it naturally attracts believers very quickly. There are many Rising Suns in the Orc Army.
Followers of the religion.
Although the overall proportion is not high now, if it continues to develop at this rate, sooner or later the influence of the Rising Sun Cult among the orcs will reach a level that is difficult to ignore.
"Give faith? Let the orcs also become slaves of the gods?"
"I don't know how many races are willing to become slaves of gods but cannot."
"The impact of the recovery of magic power is faster than I thought. There are actually people in humans who can use undead magic that was taboo during the Elf Empire. His Majesty Gro now has to consider how to defeat humans as soon as possible, not us.
Regarding the church’s problem, when human magic flourishes, the orcs don’t know if they will have the opportunity to be slaves to humans.”
"Are those things called undead? That's quite appropriate. As long as the white dragon arrives in time, we will be sure to defeat those humans."
"Don't worry, Bailong will never disobey my lord's will..."
…
In the spring twilight, a large group of centaur warriors stood on a gentle slope from a distance and looked angrily at a group of cavalry wearing blue and white armor opposite. It was the first time that they felt fear towards other cavalry.
Thousands of corpses scattered between the two teams of cavalry prove that a tragic cavalry battle took place here before.
Most of them were the corpses of steppe centaurs, and there were only a few human corpses. Judging from those who died in the battle, it was obvious that the centaurs had suffered a big loss.
There are nearly 30,000 centaurs standing on the gentle slope, and one-third of the centaurs on the central plain are concentrated here.
The humans on the opposite side only have about 10,000 riders, only one-third of the centaurs. The difference in numbers is not small, but they are really overwhelming the opposite side in terms of momentum. At this time, they have even begun to move forward slowly, with another look.
Look like you want to take the initiative to attack.
In order to ensure speed, most of the human cavalry are only light cavalry with armor from the knights above. Only the more than a thousand cavalry at the front are war horses and heavy cavalry with all human armor.
It was these more than 1,500 heavily armored cavalry that made the Centaurs understand what the gap was.
These 1,500 heavily armored cavalry are composed of almost 40 champion knights, the same number of unicorn holy beasts, more than 500 members of the Red Flame Knights and hundreds of quasi-knights riding improved Western Horses.
There are more than four hundred elite centaurs wearing special armor.
Normally, the champion knights are treasured by Richard, and they generally do not let the champion knights fight and consume them. There are not many combat forces on the ground that can cause casualties to the cluster of champion knights, and they do not participate in the fierce dragon battle in the sky.
, the casualties of the Champion Knights have always been within a controllable range. At this time, after the Northland Army and Gru's army merged, the number of Champion Knights was quite considerable.
Because of the specialty of the elf hero Siel, the unicorn holy beast is produced twice as fast as the champion knight. Although the elf city is built later, the number is almost the same as that of the champion knight.
In this team, there are nearly a hundred earth-level combatants alone. In conjunction with more than a thousand cavalry, led by Mrak and Talis, even natural cavalry like centaurs are frightened by them.
.
As for the remaining 10,000 light cavalry, although they are also elites in the North, they seemed to be a bit more powerful in this battle. When the two sides clashed, the more than 1,000 cavalry in the front row defeated the centaurs.
After wearing it, they only had to swing the sword a few times, and they won the battle without even a decent fight.
At this time, he slowly stepped forward under the command, preparing to attack the centaur.
"Leader Hutt, the opponent is here again, do you want to continue attacking?"
The centaurs were obviously a little frightened after losing thousands of horses. If they had seen a whole team of human cavalry attacking in the past, they would not have been afraid at all.
Even if the opponent is heavy cavalry, they have many ways to deal with it. After all, the strongest heavy cavalry they have encountered in the past is the small number of heavy cavalry in the Western Region. Once the men and horses are armored, they will immediately become extremely cumbersome.
Centaurs are inherently faster than normal light cavalry, and can easily kill heavy cavalry with their speed.
But the human heavy cavalry in front of them was different. Not only did they have thick armor, but their running speed was not slow at all. When the centaurs tried to distance themselves during several trials, they were overtaken and chopped to pieces.
The feeling given to the centaur is that the opponent's war horse is not tired at all, but it is the knight on the war horse who has tired his hands first.
"No, let's retreat. The two 10,000-person troops at Munro are nearby. They will understand what's going on as soon as we retreat."
"Let those heavy cavalry start running, wait for their physical strength to be exhausted, and wait for Munro to come over and directly block them and disperse them."
"Just like how we used to deal with the orc heavy infantry on the grassland, mobilize them."
"Yes, Leader Hutt!"
After being taught a hard lesson by the cavalry led by Mrak and Taris, the centaur warriors had almost learned the lesson. Even with several times the numerical advantage, they began to be cautious. Before the human cavalry could pick up the speed, half of them
The centaur soldiers began to turn around and retreat.
"Lord Mrak, the centaurs have retreated, should we continue to pursue them?"
The person speaking on the side was Sir Hardman. As the deputy of the Red Flame Knights, he almost brought up the entire Red Flame Knights. After all, although Richard is the nominal leader, he cannot have time to manage it.
What the Knights can provide is the most important red flame horses and material support.
Hardman recruited knight-level masters from all over for training and formed the now powerful Red Flame Knights. However, even such a powerful knights seemed a bit weak in front of a team composed of champion knights and unicorn holy beasts.
Weak.
He is also convinced by the command of M'rak and Taris. His own earth-level strength is not enough for a champion knight, let alone the sky-level M'rak and Taris.
"Can the Red Flame Knight's physical strength still support him?"
Mrak didn't even ask about the war horse. The red flame horse had only warmed up now and might not have even sweated yet. His main concern was that the knight on the war horse couldn't support it. After all, he was wearing heavy armor, even if he just waved.
Knife is also very physically demanding.
"No problem, the Red Flame Knight is not that fragile."
Hardman was more familiar with the situation of the Red Flame Knights, so he naturally knew where the limits were, and immediately responded to M'rak.
"Then take your men and follow them slowly. If there are centaurs on the flanks who want to join the battle, stop them immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
"What about you?"
Hadmen subconsciously lowered his head to accept the order, but when he raised his head, he realized for a moment that Mrak had handed over the command of the army to him. What were they going to do?
The next moment, Sir Mrak told him the answer.
As soon as the meteor hammer in his hand was raised, the surrounding champion knights, unicorn holy beasts and centaur elites immediately understood and quickly raised their speed. They gathered a total of 500 riders and left Hardman and others behind.
With a speed that was incomprehensible to them, they chased the Centaur warrior who turned to retreat.
M'lak, who has reached the peak of the Sky Level, has recovered about 80% of his speed special effect. The originally extremely fast units such as the Champion Knight can rush faster than a racing car under his speed effect.
More than five hundred riders quickly closed the distance with the centaur in front at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Leader Hutt, the human cavalry is catching up!"
"They are chasing just in time. Munro's side should have received the news. As soon as Munro's two-thousand-person team appears, we will wipe out this group of human cavalry."
"No, Chief Hutt, look, they are already less than 500 meters away from our rear team."
"What?"
Hurt turned his head, and what he saw in front of him made him think that there was something wrong with his eyes. He had never seen a cavalry running so fast.
No, let alone cavalry, he had never seen such a fast creature. There was no difference between this speed and flying close to the ground.
"Order the rear team to stop retreating immediately and form a formation to counterattack!"
Although he was horrified by the scene in front of him, Hutt's reaction was not too slow and he immediately ordered the rear team to stop and prepare to fight. Otherwise, if they were directly hit by the rear team during the retreat, it would probably cause the rear team to collapse directly, or even trigger more disasters.
serious consequence.
"kill!"
"boom!"
However, Hutt's order still came too late.
The centaur warrior's execution was good. Even after being beaten down by the human cavalry for several rounds and his morale was low, he turned around to fight according to the order.
It's just that Hurt didn't estimate the speed of the champion knights led by Sir M'Lak. The thousands of centaur warriors in the rear team turned around and collided with the champion knight in the front before they ran fifty meters. The first one and
The centaur that the champion knight collided with flew up directly.
A centaur warrior weighing more than 700 kilograms was directly hit and flew into the air.
After all, the champion knight may weigh more than three tons including the armor on his body. With the addition of Sir M'rak's speed, the charge speed reached a terrifying 150 kilometers per hour. If he collided with a car like this, he would be directly hit by a car.
What is the difference between a speeding car.
This collision directly shattered the centaur's brain. Even the red flame horse, which had never known what obstruction meant, shook its head slightly and was slightly confused.
The intercepting centaurs were knocked out one after another, unable to stop the flying champion knight. Finally, the champion knight slowed down a bit, but it became even worse.
When fighting spirit broke out, they were not even qualified to get close. From time to time, they were suddenly affected by the blindness of the unicorn holy beast and fell into chaos. Thousands of centaur warriors intercepted Sir Mulak and others in less than a quarter of an hour.
After a long time, more than half of them were lost, and the rest quickly dispersed. It was not like they were going to touch this terrifying group of human cavalry again.
Hutt didn't even have the courage to look back at this time, so he was chased by Mrak with the Champion Knight and the Unicorn Holy Beast. He was peeling off layer by layer like an onion, and a large number of centaur warriors on the periphery fled.
.
At first, he planned to retreat temporarily and wait until the other two 10,000-man troops arrived to counterattack. By this time, it had turned into a complete rout with no chance of counterattack.
As for the 20,000 troops he was looking forward to, they did appear on the battlefield. The centaurs had been able to fight the orcs for so many years, and they still had some tactical literacy. They didn't know how to play this tactic similar to the Mongolian cavalry's kiting first and then attacking in a roundabout way.
How many times had it happened that as soon as the nearby Munro received Hurt's signal, he led a team of two thousand men from the flank of the battlefield in an attempt to complete a roundabout outflank.
But that was aimed at heavy cavalry whose speed could not keep up with theirs. They could use this tactic to avoid a direct head-on conflict and drag the opponent to death.
But this tactic cannot deal with heavy cavalry like the Red Flame Knights who are faster than light cavalry.
As soon as they appeared on the battlefield, they were entangled by Hardmen's leaders. Without the champion knight and the unicorn holy beast, the combat power of the Red Flame Knights cannot be underestimated.
The two thousand-man troops led by Munro were forced into a head-on confrontation by the heavy cavalry of the Red Flame Knights before they had time to consume their opponent's energy.
The weapon in the centaur's hand struck the heavy armor of the Red Flame Knight, and the damage was basically just a white mark. Even blunt weapons like war hammers were not very effective. The armor in the North was lined with lint and other shock-proof designs.
Blunt weapon blows sometimes leave a hole in the armor, but the knight inside is still alive and well and can continue to fight.
And a condescending slash from these Red Flame knights can make the centaur warriors' blood splatter, causing fatal damage to these centaur warriors.
Mengluo, who came to help in the battle, used his fighting spirit and used all his strength to finally cut down a human heavy rider and knock him off his horse.
But the centaur warriors around him were all slaughtered by human heavy cavalry. At this time, he also felt the pain that Hutt had felt before. He couldn't defeat him in a head-on battle, and he couldn't outrun the opponent when he retreated. He came to support, but he was trapped.
Go in.
At this time, looking at the men around him who were being chopped down and fell to the ground by humans, he felt like he had been tricked by Hutt...
