December 28, 1232 in the Beamon Empire, December 28, 1157 in the Byzantine Empire's sacred calendar, is only three days away from the arrival of the new year.

It was also on this day that the Battle of Syndica, which left a strong mark in the history of the Northumbheed continent and shook the entire Northumbheed continent, broke out.

Outside the Syndicate.

In the early morning of deep winter, it is silent and distant, filled with a sense of sadness. The cold north wind whistled across the ice-covered fields, and a few withered and withered grasses shivered in the wind.

At dawn, a whining trumpet sounded from the Byzantine barracks, breaking the silence of the morning. With the incessant sound of the horn, the gates of the Byzantine barracks around the camp burst open.

Several torrents of iron armor rushed out of the wide open camp gate and surged towards the field outside the barracks.

At the same time, the same scene was playing out in the orc camp.

It took five hours for hundreds of thousands of troops from the Byzantine Empire and the Bimon Empire to emerge from their respective camps, set up battle formations in the vast fields, and confronted each other in the air.

Rasmussen, accompanied by several generals, urged his horse up a small hill. This small hill is in a good position, and it is perched on top of the horse, just in time for a panoramic view of the entire vast battlefield.

The banner of the Byzantine army was abruptly erected behind Rasmussen, and the winter sun was waved in the wind.

At the moment when the banner of the Byzantine army was raised, a wild roar suddenly exploded in the Byzantine army.

"Victory!"

Beginning with this roar, the 600,000 Byzantine army shouted in unison like a landslide and tsunami: "Victory! Victory!" In an instant, the morale of the Byzantine soldiers reached its peak.

A large bright yellow battle banner depicting a crown and scepter rose from the orc formation.

As this huge battle flag was raised, the earth-shattering mountain cry suddenly erupted in the orc army: "Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

Flying high under the banner of Emperor Beamon, a group of orc generals surrounded Iorio in the center like a star arch moon. Dressed in a suit of golden chain mail, with a sword at his waist and a leather whip in his hand, Ioleo stared at the vast battlefield with a burning eye.

Behind Iorio stood a massive body as tall as a mountain. It was a silver beast that resembled a gorilla in size.

The silver demonic beast has slightly longer forelimbs and slightly shorter hind limbs, and at this moment it is on all fours, and it is half-crawling on the ground, so its height is also more than twenty meters, if it stands up, it is afraid that its height can reach more than thirty meters. Its entire body was covered in thick, thick silver hairs, and its muscles were swollen and as hard as a piece of iron. On its two thick forelimb palms, there are also extremely sharp and terrifying long claws.

This orangutan-like demonic beast is almost unknown to everyone in the Beamon Empire. Because it is none other than Beamon's mount, Tremian, the mount of Beamon Emperor Iorio, a Silver Saint-Rank Beamon Behemoth with a combat power of up to the peak of the eleventh level.

In addition to being the supreme monarch of the orcs, Aioleo also relied on his personal bravery and wisdom to become the only Beamon Behemoth Knight among the orc knights. As for the God of War Knight, it is a knight that can only be created after the god of war Tampas, who is believed in by the orcs, shows a miracle and blesses him.

According to the ancient records of orcs, in the war between gods and demons 10,000 years ago, five orc knights who followed the god of war Tampas to fight the demon god were blessed by Tampas and selected as the god of war knights. Later, in the Great War of the Demons 2,000 years ago, the god of war Tampas once again performed a miracle and blessed an orc knight as the god of war knight.

Since then, Tampas, the god of war, has never shown miracles, and naturally there will be no more knights among the orcs. Therefore, since the unification of the orc tribes more than a thousand years ago and the establishment of the Beamon Empire, the Beamon Behemoth Knight has become the most honorable title among the orc knights, and it is also the symbol of the most powerful knight among the orcs.

Aioleo slowly glanced at the Byzantine army on the opposite side, and finally fell on the 30,000 hoplite knights in front of the Byzantine army.

If there is any type of army in the human army that makes orcs feel jealous, then this class must be the heavy cavalry of humans.

In the orc army, although there is also a heavy cavalry class, but because the iron ore deposits in the western part of the Norsenside continent where the orcs are located are not abundant, and whether it is in the mining or smelting of iron ore, the orcs are far inferior to the humans in the eastern continent, so the weapons and equipment of the orc soldiers have never been as sophisticated as the human soldiers. Therefore, heavy cavalry, which has extremely high requirements for weapons and equipment, is very rare in the composition of the orc army.

For example, one of the important aspects of why the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment of the Orc Wolf Wolf Clan has become one of the four strongest legions in the Orc army is that it is one of the few heavy cavalry regiments in the Orc army.

However, the Bloodfang Cavalry Regiment is called 'Heavy Cavalry', and it is only relatively speaking, the scale armor equipped by the Bloodtooth Wolf Cavalry can indeed be called 'Heavy Armor' in the orc cavalry dominated by leather or cotton armor, but compared with the human Heavy Cavalry equipped with a large number of plate armor, the title of the 'Heavy Cavalry' of the Bloodfang Cavalry Regiment seems somewhat inappropriate.

There are many grasslands and mountain forests in the territory of the orcs, so there are many kinds of birds and beasts living in the territory of the orcs, and the number is huge. Because orcs evolved from birds and beasts, although this evolution process was completed hundreds of thousands of years ago, because they once had a common ancestor and were naturally close to each other, orcs were easy to domesticate a large number of birds and beasts for their own use, or engaged in production, or warfare. So the proportion of cavalry in the orc army is huge.

Among the 450,000 orc expeditions led by Iorio, the total number of orc cavalry of all kinds was as high as 220,000, and the ratio of cavalry to infantry reached an astonishing 1:1. However, the vast majority of these 220,000 orc cavalry were poorly equipped light cavalry, and only the cavalry of the Sunbreaker Legion, one of the Iolio Praetorian Guards, belonged to the standard of orc hoplites, and their number was only 15,000.

Rasmussen also knew that the human heavy knights were the most threatening to the orcs, so he concentrated all the 30,000 heavy knights in the Byzantine army of 600,000 at the forefront of the battle array, preparing to rely on the powerful impact of the heavy knights at the beginning of the battle, so as to disrupt the formation of the orc army at the first time and occupy the initiative on the battlefield.

Among the 30,000 Byzantine hoplites, a contingent of 3,000 knights stood out. The mounts under their crotches were not war horses, but all ground walking velociraptors. This team of knights is the third brigade of the Tyrannosaurus Knights, the Tyrannosaurus Knights, who are on a par with the most elite cavalry group of the orcs, the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment.
