CHAPTER 127: LOCK'TA
In the twilight forest, two armies are facing each other.
It is said that it is two armies, but it is not. To be precise, it is one of them who does not consider the other to have the qualifications to be called an army.
Looking at the situation on both sides, one side has bright armor, and the blades are shining with cold light to show their sharpness, and the thick iron armor and combat boots make a clanging and trampling sound between the marches, this is a fully armed human regular army. Their opponents, shirtless and bare-chested, except for a few officers, were mostly surrounded by animal skins, and most of the weapons in their hands were stone axes, and some even carried thick wooden sticks. Compared to their enemies, these orcs, known as orcs, are no different from beggars.
A human officer spat out, making no secret of his disdain for his enemies: "A group of filthy and savage beasts dare to come to the kingdom's territory to make trouble, live impatiently." ”
The officer's words were echoed by his colleagues: "Anyway, they have a human appearance, and they are still a little different from wild beasts." ”
"Hahaha......"
The soldiers burst into laughter.
The enemy didn't look like a big man, and the rock-like muscles weren't to be underestimated, but the human soldiers didn't find them scary. Barbarians are like this, if their bodies are not strong, they are not called barbarians, but they are stronger than humans in this way, and the others are 108,000 miles behind.
This human soldier was specially transferred from the Red Ridge Mountains by the Rhine, as the army of the kingdom to open up the eastern territory, and they have been fighting the gnolls in the Red Ridge Mountains all year round, and each of them is a veteran who crawled out of the pile of dead. Such an army is so familiar with the battlefield that it is no longer familiar, and fighting on the battlefield has become a habit carved into their bones, and fighting with the enemy has long become commonplace.
Fear?
Worry?
Cringe?
Excuse me, what's that?
"Speaking of which, the gnolls are also savages, I wonder how orcs are better than gnolls?"
An officer muttered.
Whether it is a gnoll or an orc, in the eyes of humans, they are uncivilized barbarian races, and they should be almost right to deal with. They can defeat the gnolls in the Red Ridge Mountain, but can't they come to the Twilight Forest and face the orcs who have rushed out of the dark swamp?
It's a joke, it's absolutely impossible.
While the Stormwind Kingdom's armies were watching the orcs, the orcs were watching them.
Unlike the human army's contempt for orcs, the orcs took this alien army very seriously when they came to Azeroth.
If you don't pay attention to it, you can't do it, look at the other party's equipment, human beings are so extravagant that they let their soldiers wear iron armor and iron weapons, you must know that among the orcs, only a very small number of warriors in the clan have weapons and armor of this quality.
Just from the comparison of equipment, the orcs are inferior.
However, war is not a guarantee of victory for those who are well equipped. The fact that the orcs attach importance to the human army does not mean that they are afraid of each other, on the contrary, it is the extravagant behavior of the human army that arouses the orc's desire to fight.
Defeating an enemy weaker than oneself is not a skill, only a strong enemy is worthy of the orc's attack, defeating such an enemy is more valuable, and it can better demonstrate the orc's martial bravery.
"Woo ......"
A terrible trumpet sounded from the human formation, a signal to prepare for an attack.
Trample! Trample! Trample!
The human soldiers marched towards the orcs with a neat pace, consciously making noises with each step they took, increasing their momentum and trying to overwhelm them without making contact.
Based on their experience with the gnolls, this method was very effective. Often, while they were still on the march, there were the cowardly of the savages who fled out of fear, and the impulsive, in anger, broke away from the army and came forward to die.
Unfortunately, experience is not everything, and when the gnolls were replaced by orcs, the situation changed.
Seeing the human army advancing towards him, the orcs did not show weakness, and a few bare-chested orcs beat the war drums loudly. The sound of the war drums was comparable to the whine of the military trumpets, and its volume kept soaring, and no one could overpower anyone.
The cowards expected by the human army did not appear, the orcs did not have cowards, they would not sell their backs to the enemy. The Stormwind Kingdom's army slowly approached, trying to put pressure on the orcs, and their actions to make them chaotic not only failed to do so, but instead provoked the orcs' blood to surge, and their eyes turned red after drinking the blood of demons turned red from blood congestion, looking like a beast that only chooses people to devour.
Seeing this scene, the human soldiers couldn't help but have a thought in their hearts: orcs are not easy to deal with, at least more difficult than jackals.
If it was a gnoll, the deserters in the face of the approaching human army would have appeared long ago.
As soon as the thought of the orcs being difficult to deal with arose in their hearts, the soldiers of the Storm Kingdom saw the orcs on the opposite side roaring and rushed up one after another.
Don't look at the poor equipment of the orcs, their physical fitness is far from being comparable to that of humans, and probably the physical gap between humans and them is as big as the equipment advantage of humans leading orcs.
The orcs outran their galloping horses, and in the blink of an eye, they crossed the distance between the two sides and killed the humans.
It's coming so fast!
The vanguard didn't expect the orc's speed to be so fast, only to feel that the orc was in front of him, and the stench from the hideous mouth and the body odor so thick that it made people sick to their stomachs and vomit made him frown.
The orcs didn't care what humans thought, they picked up the stone axe in their hands and slashed at it.
Clang!
The heavy stone axe slashed at the iron shield and sparks flew around, and the human soldier holding the shield felt a tremendous force coming from the shield, and his arm immediately went numb.
That's a lot of strength!
Just as the human soldier was amazed by the orc's strength, the latter roared and raised the stone axe again.
Whoosh ...... Sharp arrows struck through the air, and the archers in the back of the human race began to wield their might.
The iron arrows tore through the unarmored skin with the force of the bowstring, burrowing into the orc's muscles and puncturing the internal organs, killing the target.
With a salvo, more than a dozen orcs fell. These fallen orcs were only a tiny fraction of the total number of orcs, and even though many orcs were hit by arrows, their strong muscles stuck the arrows, preventing them from penetrating deep into the interior and inflicting fatal damage on themselves.
"Be careful, these guys are not easy to deal with."
Fortunately, this group of soldiers in the Stormwind Kingdom had a lot of combat experience, and they immediately put away their contempt for the orcs. However, at this time, it was discovered that the orcs were a step too late, and those orcs who did not fall had already launched a second attack.
The sound of the stone axe smashing the iron shield makes people feel like they are in a messy blacksmith shop, and the noise makes people's ears hurt, so it is not uncomfortable. The most uncomfortable thing was the human soldiers with shields, the first wave of the orcs made their arms numb, and the second time they made their hands numb to the point of losing consciousness, and some soldiers couldn't even hold their shields.
It doesn't matter if the shield falls, the important thing is that without the shield protection, the soldiers will have to face the orc attack directly.
Under the rain of arrows from the human archers, the orcs slashed the stone axe in their hands for a month and a half, and slammed it into the helmet of the human soldier. Suddenly, the helmet was dented in a large piece, and the soldier who was struck did not even have time to scream before his body went limp, and he fell to the ground, lifeless.
Killing the target, the orc threw a punch in the chest and yelled, "LOCK'TA!" ”
