The battle that broke out outside Fort Glory was one of the many offensives launched against mercenary groups across the steppe since the orc's 130,000 Western Expeditionary Army was transferred to the Northern Army.

The orc army that attacked Fort Glory came from Warsong Castle, which was five hundred kilometers away.

The main force of the orc army originally stationed in Warsong Castle was 2,500 wolf cavalry of the 3rd Cavalry Wing of the Bloodfang Cavalry Regiment, in addition to about 2,000 orc infantry of another miscellaneous unit. With this amount of strength alone, it would be impossible for the orc garrison of Warsong Castle to attack Fort Glory, which is garrisoned by 6,000 mercenaries every day. However, with the arrival of 130,000 orc reinforcements in the northern grasslands, and after the wolf leader overseers distributed their forces to various parts of the grasslands, a reorganized orc army was immediately stationed in Warsong Castle. As a result, more than 20,000 orc warriors poured into Warsong Castle at once.

After the new orc legion was stationed in Warsong Castle, the role of the supreme commander of Warsong Castle also changed, and he was no longer the wing captain of the third wing of the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment as a partial general, but the head of the tooth general of the new orc army.

This new legion of orcs is dubbed 'Splithoof' in the orc army sequence. Of the approximately 23,000 orc warriors who make up the Splithoof Legion, more than a third of the Centaur group, an outlier branch of the Orc-House Centaur clan, has more than 7,000 soldiers. Therefore, the commander of the Splithoof Legion is also from the Centaur family.

The Splithoof Legion is not a cavalry legion, as the orc warriors of this legion are not equipped with mounts. However, in the formation of the orc army, the Splithoof Legion was considered a half-cavalry legion, due to the fact that the soldiers who made up the legion were mainly Haus centaur soldiers.

House is the collective name for all Centaurs in the Orcs, while Centaurs are a branch of Centaurs. The reason why centaurs have one more 'half' than centaurs is because they are different.

Orcs evolved from a variety of beasts over a long period of time, and eventually became a humanoid race with both hands and legs and the ability to walk upright, just like humans. However, the centaurs are one of the few subhuman races among the orcs that have not yet fully evolved and completely broken away from the beast form.

Centaurs are classified as a subhuman race among orcs, due to their appearance, although the upper body is already human, the lower body is still a horse. Because the lower body of the centaurs is still in the form of horses, they can run far faster and more stamina than ordinary orcs, and are almost as fast as the various mounts driven by orcs. Therefore, the more than 7,000 centaur soldiers in the Splithoof Legion can be used as cavalry. And this is the reason why the Splithoof Legion is considered a half-cavalry legion.

After taking command of Warsong Castle, Manolok Körner, the Centaur Tooth Commander of the Splithoof Legion, immediately decided to attack Fort Glory.

Boggs, who temporarily became Manolok's deputy, knew that Fort Glory was thick and had 6,000 daily mercenary warriors stationed there, plus the 2,500 wolf cavalry of the 3rd Wing of the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment and the more than 7,000 centaur soldiers of the Tempest Legion, who were the main force of the Orc attack, were more good at field warfare and less good at attacking fortified cities. In addition to the 2,000 orc infantry of the original motley unit in Warsong Castle, they must stay and garrison Warsong Castle in the battle to attack Glory Castle

In fact, the orc warriors who are relatively good at siege warfare are actually only the remaining more than 15,000 orc infantry of other races in the Splithoof Legion.

And Boggs felt that with this part of the army, if he attacked Fort Glory, even if it was captured, the orc side would definitely suffer heavy casualties, so his advice to Manolok was to besiege Fort Glory.

However, the Centaur General, who had come from the aftermath of the victory in the Battle of the Western Expedition, scoffed at the werewolf general's suggestion, and not only mocked the werewolf general's cowardice to his face, but also claimed that he was worthy of the reputation of the Wolfe clan for being fierce and warlike, and insisted on sending troops immediately.

In the face of Manorock's arrogance and outrageous words, although Boggs was full of anger, but out of the consideration that his cavalry wing needed to cooperate with the Splithoof Legion, he still endured his anger and did not turn against Manolok, and finally led his blood-fanged wolf cavalry to accompany Manolok to attack Fort Glory.

You must know that although Manolok's rank of general is one level higher than that of Boggs, Boggs is a partial general of one of the most elite legions in the empire. For a general of an ordinary army like Manorock, Boggs didn't have much awe and respect in his heart.

And just when the centaur general Manolok commanded more than 20,000 orc soldiers under the city of Fort Glory, Senna finally rushed back to Fort Glory in time with Copperbeard, Steel Rock, and Roy, and immediately organized the daily mercenary warriors in the city to meet them.

A day ago, when the orc army began its first assault on Gloriate, the two warring sides took the lead in a long-range confrontation, that is, a magic battle, according to the practice of the battlefield.

Counting the two shamans in the third wing of the Bloodfang Cavalry Regiment and the four shamans in the Splithoof Legion, although there were as many as six shamans in the orc army attacking this time, except for an old seventh-level high-level shaman, the other four shamans were all middle- and low-level shamans. Therefore, when the magic war broke out, under the cooperation of Senna, who was an eighth-level druid, and Div, a seventh-level magician, the orc shamans, who were superior in numbers, not only failed to bargain, but suffered heavy losses.

In this magic duel, not only were two low-level shamans from the Split-Hoof Legion defeated, but even the elderly high-level shaman from the Third Wing of the Bloodfang Cavalry Regiment was also wounded. Annoyed by the defeat of his own magical battle, General Manolok ordered his orc warriors to charge at Glory Castle against Senna and Div with all kinds of magic cast by Senna and Div. Of course, the outcome of this charge, which lost the cover of their own magic, was self-evident, and after leaving behind the corpses in the ground, the charging orc warriors retreated.

Unwilling to be defeated, General Manolok launched another attack overnight while Senna and Div had run out of magic in the daytime battle and had not yet had time to recover. However, in the night raid just now, the orc army still suffered a crushing defeat under the Glory Castle, in addition to the death of more than 2,000 soldiers, even the siege ladder lost dozens of ladders.

At this time, it has entered the second half of the night, and this time is the most tired moment of the day, the orc warriors who have experienced a day and a night of fighting have long been sleepy, but the furious General Manolok still refuses to withdraw his troops, he continues to transfer troops, and draws two thousand teams from the orc army, ready to attack Riptide Fort again.

"Manolo

Your Excellency General Ke, we have only more than 25,000 soldiers in this attack on Fort Glory, and now it has only been a day since the battle began, and more than 3,000 soldiers have been killed. I think we should immediately stop the siege and retreat to the barracks to recuperate!" Boggs watched coldly as Manolok threw more than 2,000 Splithoof Legion soldiers into battle, only to be wiped out by the entire army, and saw that he was about to send another 2,000 men to continue the siege, and finally couldn't help but speak, trying to stop the centaur general's impulse.

"Boggs, don't be ignorant! You have to understand, up to now, I have invested in the soldiers of the Split-Hoof Legion, and I have not sent the soldiers of the Scarlet Cavalry Regiment, and now it is all my people who are dying!" Manolok was very dissatisfied with Boggs's action to stop him, and roared with a hideous face: "I think the blood-toothed wolf cavalry under your command should also participate in the battle! The next attack, you will lead the blood-toothed wolf cavalry to take the lead!"

"We are cavalry, not infantry, and siege warfare is not our forte!

"How dare you disobey military orders, believe it or not, I beheaded you?" Manolok roared in anger when he heard this.

"Hmph, General Manolok, the order I received from Lord Fingleton is to fight with your Splithooves Legion. In the face of your unreasonable commands, I have the right not to obey them, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties to my soldiers!I will not be afraid of this matter, even if it is reported to the Overseers! You want to find an excuse to behead me in front of the battle, are you weak-hearted?" Boggs sneered.

Before attacking Fort Glory from Warsong Castle, Manolok was the nominal commander of the army and had no faults, so Boggs could only endure his cynicism. But now that Manorock was miscommanding in the battle, and only knew how to blindly attack, and the battle of Fort Glory was like this, Boggs no longer maintained his superficial respect for Manolok and openly turned against him.

Seeing that Boggs dared to contradict him, Manorock's eyes were instantly bloodshot, and he glared at Boggs viciously.

Boggs didn't shy away from staring at Manorock.

Seeing that Boggs looked fearless, the blood surging in Manolok's head cooled down slightly.

Manorock understood that the reason why Boggs was not afraid of his military discipline was precisely because he had suffered two consecutive defeats under Fort Glory. And Boggs did not agree to attack Fort Glory from the beginning, and the facts proved that he was not wrong. If he really killed Boggs in the case of defeat, then Shangfeng would definitely think that he was angry and took the opportunity to kill people to vent his anger, and he would not be able to escape the severe military discipline punishment at that time.

Manolok hesitated, but still didn't dare to do anything to Boggs, so he was forced to swallow this breath.

Manorock, who had calmed down, slowly glanced at the scorched corpses of the orcs under Fort Glory in front of him, he knew that there were heavy casualties tonight, and if he continued to attack, it would only increase the casualties. In the end, Manolok slowly called back the two thousand-man teams that had come out of the ranks.

Manolok then gave the order to retreat.

With the sound of a desolate trumpet, the more than 20,000 orc warriors who had attacked Fort Glory began to turn back and retreat to the barracks that had been entrenched several miles away.
