Chapter 85: Designing to Kill

Dozens of leopard cavalry surrounded the carriage in the middle.

The Demon Ape warriors stood in a circle on the periphery, their bows and arrows all aimed at the carriage.

A leopard cavalryman stepped forward and opened the curtain with a riding gun, but was stunned in the face of the empty carriage.

"We've been fooled, it's a trap, get out!" suddenly yelled an orc in a leader's outfit.

At the same time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from far and near on both sides.

At this time, it was naturally reinforcements from the Frost Thunder Legion, and when the Demon Ape Warrior appeared, Dylan's signal had been secretly sent. He led the cavalry battalion to fight the orcs desperately, just to buy time for reinforcements from afar.

"Run, run into the woods!" the orc warriors swarmed into the woods not far from the road.

Only halfway through the run, a fire began to catch fire from the edge of the woods, and the fire soon became very large. Through the flames and smoke, you can see that several figures are setting fire to the forest, and what is even more infuriating is that they are actually setting fire to powerful flame magic scrolls such as "Fire Rain Technique" and "Earth Fire Burning Plain". Is it any wonder that the fire became so fierce in an instant?

If the orc ran further into the woods, he would have jumped into the fire pit, so he had to turn around and run in another direction.

The orc hunting party didn't go far before they encountered the light infantry of the Frost Thunder Legion rushing forward head-on, and there was a full regiment in number. And the cavalry rushing from the front and rear directions had also shown their figures, and judging from the smoke and dust that rolled up, there was at least no less than one cavalry regiment.

The Frost Thunder Legion set fire to one side and surrounded it on three sides, completely blocking the orc's escape route.

"Stick out from here!" the orc leader pointed with a big axe in his hand, leading all the orcs to charge up towards the Terran light infantry in front.

"Can the infantry regiment on the opposite side withstand the onslaught of the orc leopard cavalry? In the woods, Joan looked at the battle situation in front of her and said with some concern.

"You can rest assured that you can watch the excitement here, we will create such a good opportunity for him, and Sino will never make a mistake in the ambush. Arthur said, hugging his shoulders.

Cavalry is the nemesis of light infantry in terms of troops, not to mention the leopard cavalry with both speed and impact, which is also an important reason why they chose to break through in the direction of the Terran infantry regiment.

When the Leopard cavalry plunged headlong into the Terran infantry regiment, they found that this infantry regiment was unlike any opponent they had ever fought against. The armor and blades of these Terran warriors were obviously a notch higher than those of regular troops, and the expressions they showed when facing the charge of orc cavalry were not the fear or nervousness common among Terran warriors, but the glint of excitement in their eyes.

Moreover, these Terran infantry had a set of combat skills that specialized in dealing with cavalry, and they did not rely on shield soldiers to carry them head-on, but flexibly dodged the frontal charge of the cavalry, and attacked the waist and abdomen of the cavalry and mounts from the side with the swords and guns in their hands.

As the cavalry continued to advance forward, the infantry quickly retreated, attacking as they retreated. It seems that the cavalry rushed into the formation of the infantry regiment, but in fact they were caught in it, no matter how they attacked, they could not break through the formation of the infantry regiment, and it was even more impossible to turn around and return.

The entire orc leopard cavalry and the demon ape warriors who came later were wrapped in this Terran infantry regiment as if making dumplings, and the war group kept wriggling, and the orc warriors were constantly killed and killed in the wriggling.

What's even more terrifying is that every Terran warrior has a single combat power no less than that of an orc warrior, using a team formation to cooperate in combat, they kill and injure a large number of orcs while paying a very small price for casualties.

Joan, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, "What is the origin of this inconspicuous infantry regiment, the combat power is not under the silver-horned buck cavalry before us, right?"

Arthur sighed softly, "Far above our cavalry regiment. We relied more on equipment and the impact of the silver-horned buck before, this infantry regiment is far above us in terms of individual combat strength and combat tactics, and the Grand Duke's personal guard regiment really deserves its reputation!"

That's right, in order to wipe out the orcs who ransacked the transport convoy, Shino directly lent out the direct personal guard of the Grand Duke of Palmer.

Although the Frost Thunder Legion's achievements over the years are not as dazzling as the Wind and Snow Legion, as one of the five major field corps stationed in the border area all year round, how can it not have elite troops to watch their families?

With the arrival of the Frost Thunder Cavalry Regiment, there was no suspense in this ambush, and none of the orc elite hunting team of more than 400 people ran away.

......

On a hill not far from the battlefield, Ciro was completely stupid, and he couldn't figure out how such a careful arrangement could fall short.

Ciro stood still for a long time, he struggled violently in his heart, not knowing whether he should go back to the barracks or simply flee back to the royal city?

As the mount walked aimlessly, when the mount had arrived outside the barracks, Ciro's heart suddenly shuddered, and at this moment he really came to his senses.

It was too late for Ciro to turn around, and a young lieutenant saw him running quickly, "General Ciro, the commander of the regiment is in a hurry to find you? ”

Ciro had no choice but to follow the lieutenant to the commander's tent.

As soon as he entered the handsome tent, he felt that the atmosphere was not right, Archduke Palmer's face was covered with a layer of frost, and Aemond was expressionless and didn't even look at him, until Shino looked at him with a smiling expression. Especially the two people kneeling in the middle of the tent, a glance made Ciro cold from head to toe.

"Ciro, do you know these two?" asked Archduke Palmer sharply.

"Alva used to be under me, and I haven't seen the other. ”

"Alva has already accused you of planning the robbery of the convoy, do you have an explanation?"

"There is no such thing! I have punished him before for making extra money in the quartermaster's department, and he is intent on revenge. Ciro still pretended to be calm.

"Then what do you think this is?" said the Grand Duke, tossing a booklet from the article to Ciro, "and he said that it was the profit that was handed over to you in the military expenses for each purchase of supplies. ”

Ciro's cold sweat was already dripping, but he still shouted: "He is bleeding, I haven't taken a single gold coin from him!"

"Okay, okay! The Grand Duke nodded, "Bring the captured orc leader with you." ”

A leopard man with a lot of flowers was pushed in from outside the military account, and the orc saw Ciro in the queue at a glance and roared at him, "You despicable Terran, coward, I shouldn't believe you, you Terrans are all untrustworthy cowards." ”

Sino hadn't tortured the captured orcs before, only suggesting that it was the Terran employer who betrayed them and killed them. Knowing that there was no way to live, the orcs naturally vented all their anger at Ciro, a traitor and informer.

Grand Duke Palmer slapped the table heavily, "Ciro, what other quibbles do you have, why did the battalion target you alone, could it be that this orc also has a grudge against you?"

Ciro could no longer deny it, and knelt down in fright, "I know it's wrong, I'm just confused for a while, please forgive the Grand Duke." ”

The Grand Duke snorted coldly, "Do you know how many legionnaires died at the hands of the orcs because of your mistakes, do you know what to do according to military law!"

Ciro was really scared this time, crying and shouting, "Don't, uncle, don't kill me, I'm your own nephew!"

If Ciro didn't shout, and there was a general below to intercede on his behalf, Archduke Palmer might still think of family affection and spare Ciro's life. But Ciro's popularity is usually too bad, and Aemond is afraid that this matter will implicate him and avoids it, and no one in the Chinese military account stands up to speak for Ciro.

The Grand Duke of Palmer has led the army for half his life, and he is well versed in the way of governing the army, how can the Grand Duke who has no steps to go down show favoritism in front of the generals of the battalion?

Grand Duke Palmer had to sigh lightly, "You are my nephew, but military law is ruthless, colluding with orcs and robbing military supplies, the crime is unforgivable, and not killing you is not enough to strictly enforce military discipline and show military prestige." Come on, pull it down, cut it!"
