Chapter 236: The Beginning of the War
The rising sun stretched the shadows of the Imperial soldiers long and slender, and after two days and one night of recruitment, five thousand fanatics and five hundred death knights were recruited. At this moment, Zhang Hao and the Supreme King sat quietly on the platform to watch the battle, chatting without a word.
"Bang! Bang! Click!! Bang! Bang! Click!! Bursts of rhythmic drums slowly came from a distance, and Zhang Hao and the Supreme King immediately picked up their eagle glasses and looked at the horizon. The first to emerge was the giant's head, and then the tide of orc troops appeared on the horizon, the front row was full of orcs, and on the left and right were the wild orcs, they were very different, the orcs had a ribbon-like decoration on their chests, while the barbarian orcs did not carry this thing.
"Grimg is really at the top of his game." In the middle of the orc force was a phalanx of black orcs, surrounded by a dozen giants and giant spiders, and a large number of cavalry units outside the main formation.
"Your Excellency Prince Li, the other party has at least 200,000, and your army of more than 50,000 ......," said the Supreme King with some concern.
"Don't worry, we'll be merciful.?" Zhang Hao said confidently. "By the way, how's Fort Gundock?"
"There was a truce last night, and all the orc armies retreated thousands of meters back, but they still defended the Vault Fort. And the losses of the defenders were still planned. I would like to remind you, Your Excellency, that the green-skinned orcs are very powerful in a good fight, and if your army can't stop it at the first time, then the elite can't resist four times the orc troops, and all of them are elites, even our dwarves have never directly fought against one, only the orcs of the elite troops. ”
Zhang Hao nodded thoughtfully and then opened the communication crystal to contact Walkma, "Don't kill more than thirty percent of the enemy, more than this number, even if we lose." ”
After hearing this, Walkma immediately frowned, and returned to the "Your Highness as much as possible." Zhang Hao only said the limit on the number of enemies that must not be killed, and did not say that his own battle losses were lost, which shows that today's war will not count losses.
"Croze, our plans are about to change...... "After Zhang Hao closed the crystal, Walkma immediately contacted Croze.
The 50,000 Emperor ** team has 20,000 sword and shield soldiers, 10,000 halberd soldiers, 5,000 long contradictory soldiers, 4,000 giant swordsmen, 5,000 musketeers, 5,000 crossbowmen, and 1,000 Burning Heart Knights. The whole army was in an offensive formation, with ranged units and zealots in front, sword and shield soldiers and halberd soldiers in the rear, and long soldiers and giant swordsmen on both flanks. A little further away were cavalry divided into three bands, five hundred each, without mages, but with more than a hundred battle priests. Walkema originally planned to divide the battlefield by cavalry and battle priests, and destroy it little by little, but now Zhang Hao demanded that the local battle losses should not exceed 30%, so the only option was to temporarily replace it with a beheading plan.
The orc troops began to run slowly as soon as they poured out of the horizon, and Walkma was envious of the quality of these energetic hurriers who didn't need to rest. "Five hundred and two hundred steps forward!!" Standing on his seat, the altar of war, Walkmar waved the scepter of war in his hand and began to issue orders.
The Altar of War, a huge golden chariot with no carport, has a platform in the front half so that Walkma can stand on it and swing it to his heart's content, and a majestic sculpture of a griffin standing on its legs and holding a war hammer in the back half. Walkma's voice was obviously much quieter than Grimg's loud voice, but the Sigmaists present didn't need to use their ears to hear what Walkma was saying.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! The emperor's ** team lined up in formation, and began to stride forward in an orderly manner, no one made noise, no one chatted, each counted their steps in their hearts, and marched forward with their heads held high.
"I've long heard that the Empire's ruthless Grand Priest Walkmar is a legendary leader who knows everything politically and militarily, so I'm really looking forward to it." When Walkmar issued the order, the war had already begun, and the High King stood excitedly in his chair and kept observing the battle with his eagle glasses.
"Then we'll see." After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he began to prepare to enchant the army.
"Lee Roald!! I'm going to beat you in front of you today!! Listen to me, just kill and cripple, let these weak chickens take a good look at how I beat their boss!! Thousands of meters away, Grimg's voice could clearly reach Zhang Hao's ears, and this voice was really too loud to be true.
Zhang Hao smiled slightly after hearing this, and said softly, "Want to challenge me?" Defeat my army first. Zhang Hao used magic to spread the sound throughout the battlefield.
"Warriors? Do you hear that? The savage orcs in front of you are trying to challenge the sons of Sigmar and want to defile the sacredness in your hearts!! What are we going to do? Walkema saw the two bosses shouting in the air, and immediately took the opportunity to boost morale.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
"As the most loyal believers, let's fight for Sigmar today!! Fight for the faith in your hearts!! ”
"For Sigma!! For the sake of faith!! ”
"Give me a flat on these weak chickens!! aaaagh! Grimmma naturally heard Walkma's interjection, and immediately gave the order to charge angrily.
“aaagh!!” The orcs shouted aaagh and immediately began to charge and accelerate.
The orc shaman immediately unleashed the first spell he had prepared, big aaagh! to increase the power of all spells. At the same time, all the goblin shamans began to let out a terrifying howl, and the magic visible to the naked eye quickly rose into the air, and in the blink of an eye, a huge moon suddenly appeared in the sky, far away from the rising sun, and on the moon was a large goblin-like face with blue fangs, coldly looking down on all beings. Curse of the Evil Moon, all enemies below the sky will have their movement speed reduced by 24% and their armor and attack damage of varying numbers.
"Prince Li, it seems that Grimge really has a toothache in his hatred for you, and even the shamans he has always looked down on have been pulled to the front line." The High King quipped.
"How do you know Grimg looks down on shamans?" Zhang Hao asked suspiciously.
"The orc generals look down on shamans, otherwise our arsenal fort would not be so easy to defend. As long as it is an army led by an orc general, the shamans are generally unable to defeat it, or they will only have a chance to play after the war is over. Although many people think that this is the orcs deliberately protecting them, for the orcs, they can't be the first to fight, that is, they look down on you, but they are all used to it. The Supreme King patiently gave Zhang Hao some common sense questions within the orcs.
