Chapter 177: Battle of the Valley of the Dead Tomb (1)
With the impression of Shishi's previous life, he knew that the longer it dragged on, the stronger the undead in the valley might be, so as soon as the boys arrived, he prepared a little, pulled up a large team, left the territory in a mighty way, and embarked on the old road to rescue "Fetanburg", and followed the rabid dog trail all the way to the west, towards the mysterious valley.
This time, he dispatched a total of 7,000 greenskins, almost half orcs and goblins, close combat, long-range, cavalry three major arms are complete, it is definitely the largest operation in the history of the "Broken Claw Tribe".
This is also the most troops that Stone can send under the condition of ensuring the safety of the two major fortresses in the territory, which shows the importance he attaches to this battle.
The main reason is that he doesn't know what the current situation of this "Dead Tomb Valley" is, and he doesn't have time to find out any more information, so naturally the more people he brings, the better, and if the opponent's strength is not strong, he also hopes to solve the battle as soon as possible.
In addition, he also wants to take this opportunity to show off his strong muscles, so that the human shrimps of "Fetanburg" know the strength of our tribe, and stop thinking about any crooked brains.
When this army of green tides appeared on the rabid dog trail, it was called a safe one, not to mention the bandits, not even a single figure was seen on the road, and it took only three days and two nights to come smoothly to the junction that Rep said led to the valley.
The reason why it was so easy to find a place was because a small group of human shrimp cavalry was already stationed here, chatting and resting in groups.
The cavalry, which numbered about fifty or sixty men, was well-armed with well-dressed cowhide cuirasses, a linen robe over it, a spear of nearly two meters, and a scimitar and a round shield at the waist and behind the back.
Outside the woods on the side, there were dozens of shiny and muscular horses, which at first glance were excellent war horses, and they were by no means comparable to the kind of horses used to carry goods.
It is clear that this is a very elite cavalry, just too few in number.
Therefore, when they saw a torrent of turbulent green coming from afar, their faces tanned by the scorching sun showed expressions of horror.
Not only them, but also the horses next to them noticed the anomaly, snorting in circles while scraping the ground with their hooves, they smelled the smell of a natural enemy, and their innate nature made them restless.
"Commander! There is an army of greenskins coming this way, estimated at more than five thousand! ”
Several horsemen who had been on guard on the perimeter galloped back and shouted loudly, and they were also frightened as you could tell from the trembling voices.
"Oh? Which green mushrooms are coming, hurry up, appease your partners, and give me some spirit points one by one! ”
Just as the cavalry and their mounts were frightened by the massive green-skinned troops, a resolute female voice rang out at the rear of the group.
At the same time, two tall horses came out of the crowd and stood at the front of them.
On the left sat a young girl on a snow-white horse, her wheat-colored skin looked only slightly whiter than the other knights, but not as rough as them, smooth and full of color in the sunlight, and with her heroic features and a white robe and silver armor, it had a unique exotic style.
She was Fitandila, the commander of the "Fetenburg" city guard, and beside her was a young man in a white robe. Naturally, it was the only mage in the city, the five-ring light mage, Egrim.
This time, in order to quickly deal with the undead in the valley, Matthew directly sent both of them out, as well as sixty carefully selected cavalrymen of the personal guard, each of whom was well-trained and had superb martial arts.
Don't look at Fitandila's age, but he has a high reputation among these cavalrymen, and when he gave an order, the latter immediately responded and acted separately, completely unable to see the shocked look just now.
As the saying goes, there are a thousand people, and the earth is full of sky.
As more and more green skins appeared on the horizon, like an endless wall, Egreem's face on a black horse became worse and worse.
"Why are there so many people here with these green mushrooms...... There are so many orcs, how did their strength become so strong? ”
Not only the orcs, but he also saw a large number of knights on giant wolves roaming around the flanks of the army, and at the same time, giant spiders could occasionally be seen flashing in the forests on both sides of the road.
"Hmph, I know why the city lord didn't let you provoke them."
Although Fitandila's face remained unchanged, he was actually afraid in his heart, but fortunately he didn't listen to this mage at the time and attacked these greenskins, otherwise...... Fortunately, they are friends and foes now, and if they really attack Fetanburg, they may not be able to defend it.
The girl was very resistant to cooperating with the greenskins at first, and in her opinion, these green creatures were no different from the beastmen, they were all evil forces that only knew about killing and destruction, why should they cooperate with them, or even form an alliance.
But when she saw the huge number of these green skins, she couldn't help but have a trace of admiration for her father in her heart, and only spent some gold coins to let these green skins be used for her own use, helping herself to fight against those desecrated undead creatures, it was simply too worthwhile! I have to say, although there are many of these green mushrooms, they are also too stupid!
……
Ten minutes later, sixty elite cavalrymen were ready to set out and stand neatly behind Fitandila and Egreem, at this time the surging green-skinned army on the opposite side also stopped, the distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters, and various noises could be clearly heard from the opposite side.
Seeing that the difference in the appearance of the other party's army was inferior to even the most ordinary militiamen, some knights had disdainful expressions on their faces.
It's just that there are a lot of them, and there is no discipline at all.
Soon, a small squad of giant wolves and boar riders stood out from the noisy army and continued to move forward in front of the group of human cavalry.
As the knights on strange creatures dispersed, a tattered-looking chariot appeared in front of everyone, towed by a giant spider.
There were two greenskins on the chariot, and the sitting orc was strong, and it felt that if he moved his body a little, the dilapidated chariot would fall apart in place.
Driven by a hunched old goblin who looked obscene and trivial, but betrayed his identity with a delicate staff on his back, this was a shaman, not a guy to be messed with.
"Hey, you two shrimp look a little familiar, were you sent by Matthew?"
The orcs on the chariot stood up and spoke in the continental lingua franca, with a loud voice.
Familiar? Fitandila said that she had never seen this orc, Allah! He's two and a half meters tall, and what's on his head? Hair? How can you have hair the same color as a rainbow!
"You should introduce yourself before asking someone a question, this is the minimum etiquette, oh, I forgot, you are just a green skin, even if you can speak human words, you can't learn real manners."
Egrem sat on his horse and said in a loud voice, his words tingling, but he was very skeptical that with the other party's IQ, he could hear it.
Who knew that the other party looked up and laughed.
"You're right, I'm called Stone, the boss of the Broken Claw Tribe, it's you polite human Shrimp invited reinforcements, okay, I'm not here to listen to your ramblings, hurry up and lead the way, don't you see my boys can't wait."
Fitandila and Egrim glanced at each other, and they both saw contempt in each other's eyes, and it was indeed a rude creature, but there was no way, before leaving, the girl who was the commander of this army still said loudly:
"Lord Matthew heard that you are going to deal with the skeletons in the valley and asked us to help, but I want to make it clear in advance that my people will not follow your commands, they will only move freely, and if something happens, we will retreat immediately."
Who knew that the stone waved his hand and said directly:
"Don't bother, just take us to that valley, and let us take care of the rest."
Fitandila couldn't wait for him to say this, she didn't want to fight side by side with these green mushrooms, let alone any losses from her cavalry, and just wanted to open her mouth to agree, but was preempted by the light mage on the side.
"Then what's going on, the city lord said, we must participate in this battle, and I will also attack those skeletons with powerful light spells."
Hearing her companion say this, the girl frowned, and just wanted to speak, but was stopped by the latter with her eyes.
"Whatever you want, don't get in the way of me anyway, hurry up and lead the way, my boys can't wait to break the bones!"
