The various departments of Silvermoon City are also working at full speed, transporting supplies to the front line, including grain and grass, as well as various military supplies

Let's not mention the conscripts, the combat effectiveness is really not very good, and they can only be used as auxiliaries. Don't think that the regular army of 40,000 is very small, these are all professional soldiers, as mentioned earlier, in the Faren Continent, the army has never been a place for ordinary people to stay.

Those are all professionals, like in ancient times in previous lives, a peasant trained for a few months and then thrown on the battlefield, it is impossible in Faerun, because no matter how many such soldiers are useless, do you think a peasant can be an opponent of the orcs? I guess I was scared enough before the fight started.

So don't look at the Silver Moon Kingdom, which has a population of several million, but the army is only about 70,000 to 80,000. After all, no matter which world it is, there are still more ordinary people.

Also because of the geographical environment of the Silver Moon Kingdom, the surrounding area is also full of crises, and it is necessary to leave enough troops to ensure the safety of various places, otherwise if those enemies take advantage of the Silver Moon Kingdom to deal with the orcs, they will have the Silver Moon Kingdom suffer.

Especially in the west of Kanlus and the Eternal Wasteland, Kanlus actually had the idea of invading the Silvermoon Kingdom, but fortunately, he was always restrained by Neverwinter, an ally of the Silvermoon Kingdom. After all, if Kanlus were to occupy the fertile land valley of the Sebrin River Valley, then Kanlus's strength would be greatly strengthened, and Neverwinter itself would not be better off.

The monsters of the Eternal Wasteland, on the other hand, are completely indifferent to the war between the orcs who believe in the three gods of darkness and the Silvermoon Kingdom. In fact, there is no way to change it if you don't look on the sidelines, the monsters on the Eternal Wasteland all believe in the barbarian god Marat, and they pursue the ultimate barbarism and chaos, and there is no leader at all, so naturally they can't threaten the Silver Moon Kingdom.

However, the Silver Moon Kingdom still didn't dare to transfer all the troops, after all, if the two sides suddenly went crazy and attacked the Silver Moon Kingdom, they would have to have some resistance, this is not a joke, Kanlus is because the four dukes are in power, which leads to the chaos of the decree to death. Not to mention the chaotic and brainless monsters of the Eternal Wasteland, these two forces often do things that are unexpected.

Time is passing day by day, and the supporting troops and materials are slowly gathering, and the decisive battle is coming!

However, it was not the side of the Silver Moon Kingdom that provoked the prelude to the decisive battle, but the orc coalition side that struck first.

It was a cloudy day, and behind the rudimentary defensive line, the military leaders of the Silvermoon Kingdom were preparing for a counterattack and making plans for a counterattack, while the soldiers below were going back to their respective camps to rest after basic training as usual.

But at this moment, the sound of rolling horses' hooves suddenly sounded from the east, and this sound could be heard even from a distance of several kilometers. Some of the veterans who had gone through the Great Battle on the Eastern Front could immediately tell that this was the sand camel cavalry of the Bedai barbarians.

In this war, the Bedai barbarians showed strong combat effectiveness, these desert barbarians, originally had very little dealings with the Silver Moon Kingdom, generally even if there were Bedai barbarians robbing the Silver Moon Kingdom, they were also small forces of hundreds of people, like this large-scale sortie, with the orcs attacking the Silver Moon Kingdom, which has never appeared in history.

You must know that the biggest enemy of the Bedai barbarians in the desert is precisely the orcs, these two bandits have been fighting each other in the desert for thousands of years for trade and oasis, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to cooperate. I don't know how the current orc king Hawkdor persuaded these old enemies, and until now Silvermoon City still didn't know anything about it.

And the combat effectiveness of the Beidai barbarians has been perfectly realized in this war. Although it is true that the Beidai barbarians are human, they are very different from the main races on the mainland. These Bedai barbarians were tall and looked a little emaciated, but they were actually very powerful, their eyes were earthy brown, their skin was that brown, and the surface of their skin was rough like sand. It is this skin that makes them a natural protective color in the desert.

These barbarians are hard-working by nature, and they can go a week in the desert without eating or drinking, but they can still move normally. They are also the most greedy people in the desert, and they are the most famous bandits in the desert. These Bedai barbarians are the most cunning and cruel creatures in the desert, and most importantly, they are not afraid to get lost in the desert.

In addition to their excellent talent for desert survival, there is another advantage that makes their opponents fearful, and that is the sand camel. Sand camels, in fact, are a special kind of Bactrian camels, but the camels grazed by the Bedai barbarians are different from all camels, and they call themselves sand camels.

This sand camel is huge, half the size of ordinary camels, and at the same time infinitely powerful, much faster than ordinary camels, and at the same time much stronger than ordinary camels in terms of survivability.

These sand camels can go without food for more than a month after a full meal, and according to the Bedai barbarians themselves, these sand camels are a miracle that the desert bestows on their people, they can absorb the heat of the sand to replenish their strength. However, everyone else thinks that the Bedai barbarians are bragging, if these sand camels have this ability, they are definitely magic beasts, but although the sand camels are powerful, they are indeed beasts.

This kind of sand camel is so good, it is naturally coveted, but unfortunately, this kind of sand camel can really only be cultivated by the Bei Dai barbarians. Even if others had captured the sand camels, they would have died in a very short period of time, and no reason could be found. The Bedai barbarians also regarded the sand camels as their lives, and it was impossible for them to hand over the methods of breeding the sand camels.

With a natural talent for the desert and sand camels, they come and go like the wind in the desert, and when they see weak targets, they will rush to kill them all, snatching anything of value. If they see a powerful target, they will sneak up, poison them, or get them lost, and then strike another lethal blow when they are at their weakest.

In the desert, almost all races have been attacked by them, even the strongest force in the desert, the orcs, have suffered countless losses from the Bei Dai barbarians. In the Enoch Desert, the Bedai barbarians are the enemy of all intelligent beings.

And after arriving in the Silver Moon Kingdom, those soldiers can be regarded as seeing the power of the Bei Dai barbarians, these Bei Dai cavalry, all riding tall camels, are not only full of impact, but also very cunning.

This kind of tall camel cavalry can easily overturn any enemy in the way when charging head-on, and even the elite heavy cavalry will not please these sand camel cavalry. What's even more infuriating is that this group of guys still doesn't keep their hands, and once they encounter a difficult enemy, they will not hesitate to retreat, and they have no intention of fighting hard.

Therefore, as long as the soldiers who participated in the previous battles were very disdainful of the Bei Dai cavalry, there was no way that these people were too shameless. So when the sound of rolling hooves sounded, immediately many soldiers began to shout: "Enemy attack!" The cavalry of the Bedai barbarians! ”

Soon, those high-ranking officers also reacted immediately, this group of guys actually took the lead, this is too much to look down on the Silver Moon Kingdom, right? In the battle ahead, it was those orcs who took advantage of it, and the kingdom was completely unprepared, and now the kingdom is hoarding heavy troops here, and they dare to attack so aggressively, it is really muddy when the Silver Moon Kingdom is muddy.

So all the officers agreed in an instant to eat this group of barbarian cavalry first. This is not just for the sake of face, but has great strategic value, after all, the orcs have such a strong mobile force, and the threat to the Silvermoon Kingdom is also very great.

Soon, the soldiers, who had just rested, immediately began to line up and leave the camp under the orders of the officer. The main force against the cavalry this time is the famous Silver Moon Kingdom, the Silver Moon Arrow Legion.

This legion has about 3,000 people, but its strong crossbowmen are more than 1,500 people, and the whole army is basically excellent crossbowmen, which is why this legion is called this name, they are the best long-range strike force in the entire Silver Moon Kingdom, and even the entire continent.

The strong crossbowmen here are not those crossbowmen under the command of the Earl of Marshall, the strong crossbows here are the new strong crossbows developed by the witches of the Silvermoon Kingdom, and the production of these strong crossbows is not something that simple craftsmen can make, and it also requires a lot of alchemy.

For example, the strings and bowarms of these strong crossbows, which have four bowstrings and two bow arms, arranged in X rows. And these bowarms and bowstrings are all metal. To make this extremely elastic metal wire and bow arm, the metal required cannot, of course, be ordinary metal, or even a metal in nature, but an alloy of many metals. In addition to the top craftsmen among the dwarves, there are also alchemists who can only make this alloy.

The bowstring and bow arm made of this special alloy are extremely tough, and the power that can be generated is also very strong, which also makes the arrows of the strong crossbow extremely powerful, like the range of the crossbowmen under the Earl of Marshall is about 500 meters, but the range of this alloy strong crossbow is more than 1500 meters, and the power of the arrows can penetrate the steel armor at 1200 meters, which is about to catch up with the guns of the previous life.

It takes a great deal of force to pull this metal string, even a skilled archer, so it can only be equipped with a strong crossbow with a pulley device. This crossbow also has a special design that allows it to be combined with each other. Under the crossbow, there is a special arrow slot, after each arrow, when it is wound again, the arrow slot will put the next arrow up because of the lever principle, and place it in the card slot of the arrow.

Each slot will have 15 arrows, which greatly increases the shooting speed of the crossbow, and the long-trained crossbowman can shoot all 15 arrows in one minute, greatly enhancing the lethality of the bow. Usually each crossbowman will have 5 arrow slots, which means that in a matter of minutes, these 1,500 crossbowmen can rain more than 100,000 arrows at the enemy.

For the crossbowman, the arrow obscuring the sky is no longer a legend, but something that can be done. However, basically no stupid hat commander would do this, after all, it will damage the life of the crossbow, and the bowstring is also made of metal, and if used too often, the bowstring will break due to overexertion, and in this regard, the metal bowstring is not as durable as the traditional bowstring.
