"Kill!" The knights in the city of Losenniel raised their sturdy lances and charged towards the Orc Wolf Cavalry. Because the Cardan tribe of the previous life of the Kingdom of Akvia was relatively poor, they did not have abundant iron materials and could only use wooden lances (the disposable stuff in the Middle Ages). However, the power of this kind of lance should not be underestimated. They would break automatically, which was more convenient than ordinary lances because there was no need to pull the lance back.
Although they do not have the minimum conditions to form a knightly order, the moving torrent of steel is still not something that the orcs' flesh and blood can stop!
"Boom!" Dull collisions and the sound of wood snapping echoed continuously, but the outcome was clear at a glance. The wolf cavalrymen who had faced the knights all fell to the ground, twitching, with broken spears stuck in their bodies. Some were even trampled by the heavy iron hooves, and were directly smeared on the ground like "stickers"...
If Roland were here to see this scene, he would definitely curl his lips in disdain. The Aqvia knights were brave, but their equipment was a bit simple. There was a reason why the Lagrande knights eliminated the wooden lances. Although they could maintain the terrible destructive power of the first wave of charge, the shortcomings were too obvious... Just like the knights who silently drew their greatswords on the battlefield now, once they hit, there was no chance of a second attack and the weapon would be damaged. This was simply inhumane for the knights who were constantly fighting on the front line. In battle, there were no knights' squires constantly handing you new lances so that you could charge repeatedly. A fine steel lance was expensive but the effect was obvious - you could outlast them and have a wider attack range!
"Team, pursue freely! Don't chase too far!" said the only great knight under the command of King White Wing calmly.
"Charge!" A knight who activates the Charge skill can be said to be uncaring. If anyone stands in the way of the knight's charge, there are two results: either kill the charging knight or be killed by him! Of course, if you are lucky enough to block the knights' charge... then I can only wish you peace.
"Swish!" The long sword swung casually and easily swept off the ferocious head of the Orc Wolf Rider. Blood splattered as the iron cavalry crossed each other.
"Dang~" The heavy mace hit the iron arm shield hard, and the arm shield was dented in an instant.
"Swish!" The long sword pierced straight through the orc's chest.
"Heavy Slash!" The knight activated his skill and raised his sword, which was filled with flames of battle energy. With one blow, he split the wolf knight's weapon, the wolf, and himself...
"Stop chasing!" The great knight raised the blood-stained sword in his hand to stop the knights behind him.
They had already reached the edge of the Dark Forest. A qualified knight would never enter the dense forest to fight unless necessary. Knights who were not known for their agility would have their strength severely limited by the numerous obstacles.
"Clean up the battlefield! Let's go back!" The knight said coldly as he stared at the dark forest in front of him that seemed to be able to devour all life.
"Heh..." The panting, seriously injured and dying orcs and the howling wargs were scattered on the battlefield, struggling desperately.
"Puchi!" A knight indifferently pulled back his sword from the wolf knight's chest, and without paying any attention to the still twitching orc, he calmly looked for his next target.
"Ah!" The wolf, whose retreat was broken by the charging warhorse, pounced up desperately and opened its bloody mouth towards the knight who was closest to it and lowered his head to finish off the knight.
"Swish!" A slightly deformed long sword appeared from the side and stood upright in the trajectory of its attack, as if it was actively seeking death.
"Young apprentice knight, never take your guard down on the battlefield..." The big knight casually threw away the wolf's corpse and taught the apprentice knight who survived the disaster in a calm manner.
"Thank you for saving my life, sir!" The young apprentice knight looked at the hideous corpse behind him and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Be careful next time! You don't always have teammates behind you!" The knight gently wiped the blood off the blade of the orc's body and turned to leave.
"Yes, sir!" said the young apprentice knight in fear.
…
"So... my cavalry team is ruined?" After meeting the only surviving cavalry captain, Bai Yi's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"What happened? The Orc wolf riders are already right under our noses?" Iovia held the elven scimitar at his waist and stared at the battle in the distance. The elves' excellent eyesight allowed him to see everything clearly.
"Azog is here!" Bai Yi said this and turned around to go down the city wall, leading the cavalrymen who were still able to fight out of the city.
…
"Your Highness! All those we can catch up with are here! To prevent an ambush in the forest, I'm sorry I didn't go in to pursue them." The great knight Maple Leaf Purple spoke slowly.
"It's okay. Did you see anything?" Bai Yi kicked the orc corpse under his feet.
"They are physically strong, and most importantly, they are well-equipped!" Maple Leaf Zi said, raising the obviously deformed and concave arm shield in his hand.
"The orcs have begun to strangle our scouts!" Bai Yi suddenly said this.
"Well, they will be at the gates of the city soon, and we will have a tough battle." Maple Leaf Purple said without any doubt.
"White Wing! What's going on?" Iovia, who was chasing after him, asked as she looked at the corpses on the ground.
"The orcs have begun to strangle our scouts! They are unwilling to reveal their location, and they are coming soon!" Bai Yi casually glanced at the corpses under his feet and jumped on his horse.
"We have to notify King Roland! We need his support!" Bai Yi looked at the other side of the Rapid River.
"Damn it! They actually started a war in winter!" Iovia said with a grim expression.
"A small-scale vanguard battle has already begun in the north, so it's not surprising that such a situation is happening in the south." Bai Yi said indifferently.
The Dwarf-Human Coalition north of Lonely Mountain has been engaged in several battles with the Orc Legion in the north, but the Orcs in the north haven't attacked southwards in one go, as if they were waiting for something...
"They should be waiting for the orcs from Dol Guldur to attack." Bai Yi said bitterly. In just a vanguard encounter, half of his cavalry team was lost. Only more than 40 people were left out of the 100 cavalrymen. It was a serious blow to Bai Yi.
Unbeknownst to everyone, at this very moment, in the Dark Forest, a massive, heavily armed army of Gambada orcs was rapidly moving towards Lonely Mountain. And yet, unknown to everyone, this powerful army, capable of changing the tide of battle, had successfully bypassed the elves' defenses...
…
"Are there heavy casualties?" Roland couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Peter Gro in front of him. This was the tragedy of small forces... They had almost no margin for error... If they lost once, the entire "game" might end.
"Bai Yi was too reckless. He shouldn't have sent ordinary light cavalry into the forest." Roland sighed. Sending light cavalry into the forest under such circumstances was really seeking death. Bai Yi made the most wrong mistake.
"So we need your help! King Roland!" Peter Gro saluted with his hand on his chest, looking extremely humble. He seemed to have seen the failure of the coalition forces and the homeless star elves.
"Keep a close eye on the orcs! If they attack, the Kingdom of Lagran will stand with you!" Roland comforted him as he looked at the noble dragon knight who was working hard for the livelihood of his race.
