Chapter 359: Battle of the Syndicate (4)

Previous Chapter

Can you use this magic again?" Rasmussen was shocked, and then a bitter look appeared on his face.

Before the orcs were officially engaged, the 30,000 heavily armed knights on whom he relied suffered heavy losses, which was not something Rasmussen could bear.

In addition, even if Julian could no longer use such terrifying magic in the future, as long as he could continue to use less magic, the damage caused to the Byzantine army would be immeasurable.

An earthy yellow aura suddenly appeared from the surface of the earth beneath the charging Byzantine hoplites, spreading out in the shape of water waves. Wherever the aura passed, the earth was immediately solidified. The mages of the Byzantine army began to perform the advanced earth magic that weakened the power of the earthquake technique, 'Earth Freeze'.

However, to Rasmussen's and the magician's surprise, the Byzantine hoplites did not experience the second magnitude 12 earthquake. The orc soldiers had already begun to attack head-on, meeting the Byzantine hoplites who were overwhelmingly rushing in.

If you only attack with ordinary feathered arrows, even the most skilled archery in the orc army will shoot feathered arrows that will not be able to match the iron armor equipped by the Byzantine heavy knights. Therefore, in the face of the furious tide of the Byzantine hoplite cavalry, the archers in the orc army did not shoot their feathered arrows at the hoplites, but shot at the Byzantine infantry phalanx that followed behind the hoplites.

The first to face the Byzantine heavy knights was the world-famous berserk army of the orcs.

The Berserk Legion's bear-man warriors are at the forefront of the battle. Behind their backs, they all carried a huge shield and a heavy axe, and in addition to that, they all carried a heavy axe in their hands.

When the Byzantine hoplite knights entered the range of the heavy axe throwing of the berserk Legion's bearman warriors, the bearmen immediately roared forward and threw the heavy axe in their hands.

The Pyr bears of the Orcs have always been known for their incredible arm strength, not to mention the arm strength of the bearmen warriors who have been selected into the Berserk Legion as the elite of the bear people. When the heavy tomahawks were thrown by these bear-man warriors, they were no less powerful than the boulders thrown by small stone throwers.

The rushing Byzantine hoplites collided with the devastating power of the flying axes, and even their iron armor could not resist them. Thousands of heavy axes spun and fell into the crowd of human hoplites, only to see a burst of flesh flying, and countless Byzantine hoplites screaming and falling from their horses.

After completing this wave of attacks, the Berserk Legion's bear-man warriors immediately removed the giant shield and heavy axe from their backs and held them in their hands. But instead of immediately charging forward, they quickly parted to both sides, making way for a wide path.

Countless orc cavalry who had already sharpened their knives and were ready to fight rushed out of the back of the road left by the bear-man warriors of the Berserk Legion like a violent wind, and the cavalry of the Lion Praetorian Guard of the Orc Sunbreaker Legion rushed to the front. The commander of the Sunbreaker Legion, Prince Ayabella, was also among them, and he took the lead and led the charge.

After the orc cavalry rushed out, the berserk legion's bear-man warriors also roared and rushed forward along with the other orc infantry legions.

When the two rolling torrents of orc cavalry and Byzantine hoplite knights collided, a wave of magical attacks fell into the opposing camp at the same time.

Thunderbolts, fireballs, tornadoes, ice arrows, sandstorms, and other magic spells complement each other in the battlefield, making the entire battlefield look colorful and colorful. However, behind this beautiful scene, countless lives are rapidly disappearing.

At the beginning of the battle, in addition to using a large number of cavalry to deal with the Byzantine hoplite knights head-on, the orcs also divided a considerable number of cavalry and forcibly penetrated from the two flanks of the battlefield to the center, trying to divide the Byzantine hoplites and infantry. The goal of the orcs was very clear, that is, to first gather the Byzantine heavy knights with a numerical superiority in cavalry.

Under the attack at any cost, the orc cavalry routed the winged light cavalry on both flanks of the Byzantine army and penetrated straight into the center of the Byzantine army, successfully separating the Byzantine hoplites and infantry.

The Byzantine hoplites were taken aback when they found that the winged light cavalry on both flanks of their army had been routed, and the orcs had forcibly penetrated to separate themselves from their own infantry, so that they were surrounded by the orc cavalry, and immediately began to charge repeatedly, trying to break out of the encirclement.

However, the heavy knights failed to attack the encirclement of the orc cavalry several times, although they caused a lot of casualties to the orc cavalry, but they were never able to rush out, but were suppressed by the orc cavalry with superior forces, and the encirclement continued to shrink. In front of the part of the orc cavalry that forcibly inserted into the battle formation to intercept them, the Byzantine infantry was unable to break through the iron wall built by the orc cavalry for a while, although it was extremely obvious.

The whole battle situation was stalemate for a while.

Looking at the Byzantine hoplite knights who were still struggling to support themselves under the siege of the orc cavalry, Davis, the great Duke of the Orcs standing beside Iorio the Great, suddenly said with regret: "It's a pity, if there is still a twelve-level magic scroll 'Earth Shake' in our army's hand, it can allow the Byzantine hoplite knights to lose thousands of men and horses before the engagement, and it is estimated that our army can now completely annihilate this strongest combat force in the Byzantine army." ”

I'Oreo was noncommittal. On the other side, the Overseer of Kayla disagreed, "Just now, in order to open the magic scroll of 'Earth Shaking Mountain Shake', the two Holy Shamans in our army, Gula and Quilon, as well as the other seventeen high-level shamans, have lost most of their magic power, and the whole person has become sluggish. It seems that after a few days of meditation, they have no intention of restoring their magic to their original state. If our army had another level 12 magic scroll like 'Earth Shaking and Mountain Shake' to open, it would not be possible to inflict such heavy casualties on them when the Byzantine army was already prepared. And if we let the two Holy Priests and the seventeen high-ranking shamans drain their mana, it will be a bit more than worth the loss!You know, there are still so many magicians on the Byzantine side who need our shamans to contend with!"

Davis frowned a little displeased, and being refuted by Kayla in front of the Emperor made him feel a little embarrassed. In particular, his relationship with the heavily armed Overseer was not very good, making any words that came out of the Overseer's mouth that contradicted him think that he was being targeted.

Davis was about to open his mouth to retort, but Iorio, who had not said a word, suddenly spoke.

"I agree with Kayla!" the Emperor said lightly.

Davis was stunned for a moment, then shut his mouth in disdain.
