Chapter 46: The Great Battalion
The dawn of the Northland began earlier and earlier, and it was not long before the rooster crowed that the sky was completely bright.
Most of the Jingbei army has left Fort Hel and marched into the wilderness under the leadership of Marquis Wade.
Yesterday, the Sword Eagle Knight sent a letter that the ogre tribe had begun to move eastward again, and if they could not be intercepted in time in the wilderness, they would definitely bring even greater harm when they invaded the territory of the humans in the Northland.
Marquis Wade rode on his horse with a serious face and did not say a word, and the entire Jingbei army was silent almost the whole time except for the occasional shout of officers, and the real elite division knew when to maintain physical strength.
Although the temperature in the north is not too hot now, the sun in the north is very hot, but the soldiers of the Jingbei Army who grew up in the north have long been accustomed to this kind of sun exposure.
They are almost all dark-skinned, but they never feel that there is anything wrong, and they are even proud of it, but it is the appearance of a fair-skinned and handsome boy like Richard that is a little different in the eyes of the Northlanders.
An eagle's roar broke the silence of the group, and a giant eagle of nearly three meters landed in front of Marquis Wade, and a slender female soldier in light leather armor dismounted from the giant eagle's back.
This giant eagle is the only air unit in the Golden Dragon Kingdom except for the dragon knight, the sword eagle knight, the beak of the sword eagle is half a meter long, sharp as a sword, so it is named the sword eagle.
Since the sword eagle was domesticated by humans, the Golden Dragon Kingdom has formed the sword eagle knight this signature class, the sword eagle knight is mostly women, after all, women are generally more slender and lighter, the sword eagle has an average weight-bearing capacity, and it also takes into account the ability to continue flying, so you can only choose women with a lower weight to be competent.
And the sword eagle itself is more difficult to domesticate, so it also limits the number of sword eagle knights, the total number of sword eagle knights in the entire kingdom is less than a thousand, and the hands of the Lancet family are even less than a hundred, which can be described as a treasure pimple.
The female soldier who got down from the back of the eagle walked in front of Viscount Wade in three or two steps, and the soldiers around her did not stop her,
In wartime, the Knights of the Sword and Eagle are generally tasked with aerial reconnaissance, and in case of emergency, they have the right to report directly to the commander to save time.
"Good day, Lord Marquis."
The female soldier first bowed slightly to Marquis Wade, and then reported
"Most of the ogres are currently camped ten miles away from the army."
Marquis Wade couldn't help frowning when he heard this, these ogres actually put on a posture of going to a decisive battle with the Jingbei Army.
Although Marquis Wade came to resist the enemy with most of the Jingbei Army, he wanted the ogre to retreat.
A super-large ogre tribe of 3,000 people means that there are at least 1,500 quasi-knight-level combat power and more than ten ogre warriors corresponding to the knight rank.
And to be able to control such a super-large ogre tribe, there is at least one ogre chief at the level of a great knight.
And this super-large ogre tribe also has tens of thousands of kobold vassals, although these kobolds have low combat effectiveness,
An ordinary peasant can pick up a shovel and fight two or three, but they are cheap and not afraid of death, and when paired with ogres, they can also cause a lot of trouble to the Jingbei army.
If you really want to fight hard, although Marquis Wade is confident of winning, the Jingbei Army is afraid that it will have to suffer a lot of losses.
However, no matter whether the ogre on the opposite side wants to fight to the death or retreat in the face of difficulties, Marquis Wade and the Jingbei Army have absolutely no room to retreat.
"Keep an eye on the ogre."
"Yes!"
The eagle knight quickly returned to the eagle's back, and the eagle flapped its wings and headed west.
"Order, all departments speed up."
Since the ogre has put on a posture that he must fight, Marquis Wade has also thrown away his illusions and is ready to completely annihilate this ogre tribe.
……
Wilderness Battlefield
"Kill!" A cavalryman caught up with the fleeing kobold in front, and the spear in his hand pierced precisely through the back of the kobold's chest, and the powerful force pierced the kobold and picked him into the air.
This kobold who was picked on a spear was constantly whimpering and struggling in the air with his powerful vitality,
But then the Ranger on the horse shook the spear again, and the kobold on the spear was thrown out and fell to the ground, and his legs trembled a few times and he was lifeless.
"Hahaha, these puppies are so vulnerable."
The Jingbei Army has approached the ogre camp, and the rangers of the Jingbei Army are cleaning up each other's scouts, and the ogres have scattered these sensitive and fast-moving kobolds around the Jingbei Army as scouts.
But no matter how fast the kobold ran he was, he couldn't outrun the four-legged tall horse, and once he was discovered by the rangers of the Jingbei Army, a one-sided slaughter followed.
These kobold scouts with low combat effectiveness have basically been reduced to toys for the cavalry of the Jingbei Army to relax and have fun before the war.
At this time, Marquis Wade had already led several high-ranking officers to a high ground with a fairly wide field of vision to observe the ogre camp.
The ogres commanded the kobolds to drive down the stakes, and made some loose horses out of ironwood, and the whole camp looked chaotic, reflecting the low level of production of the wilderness tribes.
After observing for a while, Marquis Wade looked at the few people on the side.
"What do you think, Weiru?"
Wei Lu is the cavalry commander of the Jingbei Army and the eldest son of Viscount Wade, who has served in the Jingbei Army all the year round, and he can be regarded as a popular candidate for the next Marquis of Beidi with the strength of a peak knight.
"Disorganized, full of flaws, the uncivilized race really has no wisdom."
Veru commented on the ogre's camp in a condescending tone, and in his eyes it was a chaotic place, and if his men had set up the camp like this, he would have dragged the officer in charge of the camp out and cut it down.
Marquis Wade shook his head after listening to Wei Lu's evaluation, he asked Wei Lu this question with the intention of taking the school, but it was obvious that Wei Lu's answer was not satisfactory to him.
"Don't you think it's a terrible thing that these ogres will set up camp?"
Weru was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he seemed to react as well, and he fell into a fixed mind, looking at the ogre's camp by the standards of a human army.
"You take someone to test it, be careful not to fall in love, and come back after a circle."
"Yes!"
As the eldest son of Marquis Wade, Wei Lu is in charge of the elite thousands of cavalry of the Jingbei Army, and he himself is also competitive, and the strength of the knight at the peak of his strength sits in the position of cavalry commander.
In a few moments, thousands of horsemen roared out of the camp, and the sound of horses' hooves thundered.
Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of the ogre, and the entire ogre camp entered a state of high alert after a commotion.
