The long sword slashed diagonally, and another head flew up, and the ogre's dirty blood emerged from the neck cavity like a fountain.
Half of Richard's body had been dyed dark red, and he looked particularly ferocious under the flickering dim light of the torch.
With Bruce falling, nothing in the village can resist Richard and the Crusaders.
With Richard, Ron and the Crusaders as arrows, the spearmen followed closely behind, and there was no enemy in front.
The Crusaders sometimes cut down the ogres to the ground with a sword. Some ogres with strong vitality were still on the ground screaming and struggling to get up. Then they were stabbed to death by the spearmen who followed them.
Arriving at the back, some ogre warriors were called out by sharpshooters one by one as soon as they walked out of the hut. A short-distance volley from four or five sharpshooters could render an ogre warrior incapable of fighting in an instant. Even with Richard and others
Opportunities for face-to-face contact with people are gradually lost.
The battle was completely one-sided, and the ogres who were originally extremely powerful in front of humans were now like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The tragic casualties and desperate battle situation made the originally cruel and militant ogres waver.
After the ogres came out of the shacks, they no longer rushed out of the road in the center of the village.
Darkness is the best cover for escape. The reason why ancient armies usually did not fight at night is that it is difficult to control the army in the dark.
It especially tests the soldiers’ fighting will and discipline.
During the day, with officers, supervisory teams watching over them, and comrades around them cooperating, ordinary armies can maintain a certain degree of discipline and fighting will.
But at night, not only is it difficult for military orders to be issued smoothly, but soldiers who do not have a strong will to fight can easily escape from battle under the cover of darkness.
Only the true elite can continue to maintain discipline and fighting will in the dark night.
Obviously, Richard and his heroic invincible army meet this standard, but the ogres are a little bit off.
Although the ogre is brave and has a strong will to fight, he is still trying to fight back even when he is completely crushed.
But in terms of discipline, the gap between the two sides is huge.
The soldiers under Richard's command worked closely together like sophisticated killing machines, while the ogres were like headless flies stumbling into each other to die.
When the casualties reached a certain level, even the originally brave ogres began to retreat.
Many ogres who came out of the shacks were lucky enough to escape the first round of harvesting by the sharpshooters, and then turned around and tried to sneak away under the cover of night.
If it were an ordinary army, facing the enemy and escaping in the dark, it would be difficult to truly leave no one behind.
But when Richard said he would leave no one behind, he really would not let anyone go.
When some ogres gradually fled outside the village, Richard still led his troops to kill the ogres who dared to resist and some old and weak people hiding in the house. It seemed that he gave up chasing these cowardly escapees.
These ogres who escaped under the cover of night were a little ashamed, but also felt lucky. After all, it was better to die than to live. If they stayed in the village, they would almost certainly die.
They could still vaguely hear the roars of their fellow tribesmen and the whines of the old and the weak in the village, but they did not want to stay nearby for a moment longer, but chose to stay away.
For those who have escaped, their bottom line will be infinitely low in a short period of time. The same is true for ogres. At this time, their only thought is to survive.
The village behind them became increasingly blurry, and the shouts in the village could no longer be heard. Only the light of fire in the sky reminded them of what was still happening in the village.
It's finally safe,
We have run far enough, and occasionally we can hear the chirping of insects in the quiet farmland.
There are also a few eagle calls...
Where did the eagle come from?
These were the last thoughts of the few ogres who escaped.
The reason why Richard and his soldiers did not pursue these fleeing ogres is simple.
No matter how fast they run, they can't outrun the royal griffin in the sky.
Griffins are not suitable for swooping in villages with densely packed houses, and Richard did not let griffins participate in battles in villages.
He just ordered them to patrol around the village and kill any ogres that escaped.
The gryphon, which is difficult to use in the village, is definitely a frightening existence in this wild plain.
Accompanied by the cry of eagles, these three-meter-long aerial beasts launched a death dive towards the ogres on the ground.
With the power of swooping, the Royal Griffin's claws can even lift open the skull of an ogre in an instant.
Even if they are not killed by one blow, they can rise into the air again to look for the next opportunity, until the ogre is bloody and completely incapacitated.
If these ogres can deal with it calmly, stand up their long soldiers, and gather in groups of three or five, they may be able to cause harm to the Royal Griffin.
However, at this time, these fleeing ogres had long been frightened, and some had even thrown away their weapons. They were still thinking of confronting the griffins.
In the end, they could only be killed one by one by the Royal Griffin.
"A glorious victory!"
As the last ogre was found and eliminated from the shack, the system popped up a prompt like the sounds of nature,
The crusaders who entered the house did not care whether the ogres in the house were old or weak, and each one of them resolutely carried out Richard's orders - leaving no one behind.
Even Ron, who had always been somewhat compassionate, was not merciful when he started his attack. After all, those corpses that were hung up as food storage could not be faked.
The battle with the ogres is more cruel than the battle with humans. There is almost no room for mediation between the two sides. It is a life-and-death race war with no room for mercy.
"Gain 5500 experience points."
This battle provided Richard with 5500 experience points,
The task progress has also been partially completed.
Ordinary ogres killed a total of 317, which was not far from the 500 required by the mission. However, the mission of the ten ogre warriors only completed one.
The last time he killed 50 ogres, he was rewarded with walking boots. This mission is much more difficult. If he completes the mission, he will be rewarded. Richard is really looking forward to it.
Also, I have to say that the experience gained from killing ogres is much higher than fighting against fellow ogres.
Now there is not much experience left before the next upgrade. This time the ogres march eastward, which is considered a disaster for the Northland.
But for Richard personally, it is a rare opportunity.
The battle lasted for half a night, and by the time the last ogre fell, the sky was already getting slightly brighter. Pato was holding the sword beside Richard, and he had not yet regained his composure.
As an envoy, Richard had no intention of letting him participate in the war.
But the ogres are raging in their own territory, and if Richard wants to take action, Pato can't just sit back and watch.
However, although he also participated in the battle just now with the army, as a quasi-knight, he basically did not have many opportunities to take action.
But joining the army in the war gave him a chance to truly observe the strength of Richard's men.
This was the first time he had seen a concentrated attack by more than twenty powerful knights.
The green light rising from the fighting spirit almost formed into one, lighting up a small area of the night sky.
The charging ogres were like moths rushing to the flames in the dark night, crashing into this light and dying.
Although these Crusaders are strong, they have not completely covered up the excellence of other arms. With the tacit understanding of the spearmen, they can attack fiercely.
He was a marksman with accurate shooting skills and could shoot extremely lethal arrows, which left a very deep impression on Pato.
The next important task in expelling the ogres may not be fighting, but how to collect the supplies and Jinnar promised to provide to Richard.
