109. The layout of Hela

A group of cavalry galloped across the steppe at a deafening roar that made people from miles away think it was an earthquake.

A large amount of smoke and dust filled the air, and the shadows that obscured the sky and the sun showed that this was a large cavalry force.

From the smoke and dust, a rider suddenly accelerated and took the lead and rushed out of the yellow mist.

It was a burly, muscular half-orc with long, fluffy blond hair that looked like he was of leonon blood. He rode a tall black giant wolf, holding a broadsword similar to a horse chopping knife in his right hand, and holding the reins of the giant wolf in his left hand.

The sword wind is howling!

The cavalryman seemed to have a sense of it, and when he couldn't make a move, he rolled over and rolled off his horse, dodging the fatal blow.

The sword fell, and the horse that was rushing forward in fear didn't even have time to scream before it was cut in two by the orc.

The rider who turned over and fell off his horse was a middle-aged man about thirty years old, his face was resolute and composed, and he did not show any panic because of this, and the knight's sword in his right hand also showed his desire to attack. Looking at the back of this half-orc at this moment, the middle-aged man let out an angry roar, sprinted a few steps, and slashed at the back of the half-orc with his sword.

But before he could slash the other party, a bright sword light came out.

The upper half of the middle-aged man's body was already flying, spinning in mid-air, blood and organs splashing all around.

At the last moment when his consciousness disappeared. He only saw another orc drawing his sword past his half, and further behind, more orc cavalry was advancing rapidly.

This half-orc cavalry unit riding a huge war wolf. Charge forward with an indomitable momentum.

The roar of the earth like an earthquake was the sound of the cavalry charging as it charged.

In front of them was a fleeing force of human cavalry. However, although this human cavalry force is fleeing, the formation does not seem to be panicked, but maintains the formation as much as possible, and even from time to time some cavalry take the initiative to break away from the large army to block the enemy or mobilize counterattacks in a roundabout way, and the march seems to be orderly in advance and retreat. Obviously, the backbone is still there.

However, how this human cavalry force counterattacked and broke off did not change in the slightest - all those who dared to resist were killed by the sword of this half-orc cavalry army.

Every battle is a knife, and the knife falls on people. Neither looking back nor looking at the result, just charging and chasing with no return.

As if this human cavalry force was not all destroyed, they would never stop pursuing.

A pursuit battle that stretched for more than ten kilometers. For the physically strong orcs and the usually tough wolves. It's nothing, but it's a great drain and pressure on human cavalry. Not to mention that in order to block the desperate pursuit of this half-orc force, the human cavalry force still needs someone to break off, so after a pursuit battle, there are only less than four or five thousand people left in this human cavalry force at this moment.

You must know that where the two armies fought, this human cavalry force was 50,000 men.

At that time, the half-orc cavalry troops faced were only more than 20,000. It was only in the course of the ensuing engagement. The orc forces were a steady stream of reinforcements, ranging from hundreds to thousands. From thousands to thousands, it was finally gathered a half-orc cavalry force with a size of more than 50,000.

And at this time, the cavalry troops on the human side finally suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat.

And then as a result, in this pursuit, the cavalry troops on the human side lost more than 10,000 cavalry - for these enemies who dared to fight back and obstruct, the orc cavalry did not have any intention of leaving them alive, and basically killed them on the spot. And as long as the human side dares to keep people behind, whether it is harassment or flank attack, the cavalry troops of the half-orcs will always have troops separated to encircle and hunt and kill, and will not return until all the enemies are annihilated.

This is a blow to the morale of the human troops, which is completely conceivable.

Seeing the heavy casualties, the leader obviously didn't dare to let the troops break off anymore, so he could only run desperately. It's just that his eyes still flashed with a calm bright light, and he still didn't despair and give up in such adversity, and even looked confident, which was obviously a plan.

"A bunch of beasts!" The middle-aged knight in the lead had a grim voice, but he didn't dare to stop at all, but continued to urge the horse to gallop.

He could feel the fatigue of the war horse, because the speed of the run was obviously starting to slip, and the horse was also starting to foam at the mouth and nose, which was a typical serious physical exhaustion. For the war horse, galloping to this extent is basically abolished, without more than three or five months of retraining and adjustment, such a war horse can only retreat into the second-line army to serve, and this must be stopped immediately to let the war horse rest, if you continue to run, then it is even likely to exhaust the war horse to death.

But at this time, did this group of cavalry dare to stop?

Apparently impossible.

Several exclamations suddenly sounded, the knight looked back, and found that several of his subordinate war horses had been seriously overdrawn, and the war horses fell to the ground heavily, leaving only convulsions. But under the wild rush of the large army, it was impossible for anyone to take care of them, and even one of the more unlucky ones was hit by his own people as soon as he got up, and then he never got up again.

Gritting his teeth, the leading knight resolutely turned his head, not daring to look at the fate of his subordinates at all.

Even if he thought about it with his toes, he already knew what was going to happen.

Sure enough, after more than a dozen breaths, several screams rang out.

Holding his breath, the knight finally saw the green forest gradually appearing in front of him as he ran wildly.

A gleam of joy appeared on his face.

As he got closer to the green forest, the joy on the knight's face intensified. However, when he thought of the sacrifice of so many brothers in this short escape of more than ten kilometers, his face was hard to see, and the anger in his heart was obviously heavier.

"Scatter!" I almost used all my strength. Roaring out the breath that had been holding back in his heart, the knight suddenly drew his sword!

The cavalry units quickly dispersed, and quickly diverted to both sides like a stream of water rushing against a reef. And in this reef-like green forest, a force also rushed out at the same time, this is a completely different force from the human cavalry force: if it weren't for the fact that their target was the orcs chasing behind the human cavalry force, they would even mistakenly think that this was an enemy ambush army, because this force was also a group of half-orcs!

But their ethnicity is clearly much more mixed. There are not only lions, but also bears and tigers, and in addition to half-orcs, there are also a large number of pure orcs. Just look at the size of this force. Obviously, the number of troops will not be less than 30,000, and although the ethnic groups are mixed and the weapons are different, they give people the feeling that they are not a rabble, but more like a division of a hundred battles with a high degree of cohesion.

One of the elite units of the United Nations of the Carosa Tribe. Legion of Ten Thousand Beasts!

Watch as enemy reinforcements rush out of the green forest. The shaggy hair of the lion orc in the leader had a bright eye, and a heroic smile appeared on his face: "Good come! ”

After that, he once again accelerated out and rushed out fiercely towards the enemy's central army.

Affected by this, the cavalry troops behind him also let out a wild cry of excitement and accelerated their charge. However, not all the troops rushed towards this central army, and the flanks on both sides of the giant wolf cavalry force divided into small groups and pursued the human cavalry troops who were preparing to outflank and flank them, just like the previous wolf bite tactics. Just biting their flanks and tails.

And the middle part of the giant wolf cavalry had a ferocious collision with the Ten Thousand Beast Legion.

When the giant wolf pounces and bites. The warrior on the wolf's back leaped to his feet, then fell into the enemy's ranks, and blood splattered as the slash opened.

At this time, the Ten Thousand Beast Legion discovered that they were not dealing with such an individual as a cavalry, but a tacit partner such as a warrior and a giant wolf!

Without giving the Beast Legion time to pause and reflex, the berserk orc forces and their giant wolf partners tore open a hole like a pair of scissors on a piece of cloth.

The tragic fighting, since the complete outbreak!

……

A little farther away, several generals who were observing this battlefield turned pale.

One of the middle-aged men with a lion-like body turned his head and glared angrily at a middle-aged man, if it weren't for the fact that they belonged to an alliance at this moment, I was afraid that this middle-aged man would definitely be torn apart by this lion man on the spot. But even so, the anger on the lion's face could not be calmed at all: "This is your tactic? That's your plan? What lures the enemy deep, what ambush circle, and what is the result? …… Will the result be the burial of the 30,000 elite troops of my tribal alliance!? ”

"Our losses are no lighter than yours!" An officer-like human shouted in a deep voice, "We have also lost 50,000 cavalry!" ”

"Don't compare your waste troops to the elite of our tribe!" The middle-aged man of the lion clan roared angrily, and the hair on his body almost stood on end, "That's ten thousand beasts!" Legion of Ten Thousand Beasts! One of the most elite legions of our Karossa Tribe United Nations! All you've lost is a cavalry force that came out of nowhere! ”

"You dare to say that it is elite, the enemy has pursued nearly fourteen kilometers, you have been here for a long time, and you can't beat a tired division!" The young officer retorted.

"Roar!" The lionman let out a roar, and several orcs and half-orcs who also belonged to the United Nations of the Karosa tribe next to him also let out a roar, but this action also caused a fierce reaction on the human side, and both sides almost simultaneously prepared their weapons, and if they disagreed, they would fight first and then talk.

"Enough!" The middle-aged man, who had been silent, shouted in a deep voice, "Here I am the commander!" Are you going to have civil strife? After saying this, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at the lionman: "General Leliner, I know your heavy heart now, but this battle ......"

"You know a!" The lionman named Leline roared, "I told you as early as when the enemy cavalry was in pursuit, so that you should immediately put in reserve and cooperate with our ten thousand beasts to immediately reinforce and stop the enemy army. But what do you say? You said that you want to consume their physical strength, and you want to let them enter the ambush circle and then deal with them in one go! How many times have I reminded you. Don't judge us orcs and orcs by your human strengths, that's not for you to speculate! …… I'll report this account to the tribal chief. Now I can't continue to accompany you to go crazy like this, the Ten Thousand Beasts Force is the elite of my tribe, and it must not be completely lost here! ”

"You're a treacherous!"

"Say whatever you want!"

Leline turned around and left quickly, and at the same time, the order for the Ten Thousand Beasts troops to retreat was also given at the first time, and the United Nations troops of the Carosa Tribe, which were originally only serving as reserve troops, also immediately set out to rescue. As someone who also knew the physique of the half-orcs, he knew very well that if a group of inconsequential reserve forces were not sacrificed, it would be impossible for the Ten Thousand Beasts troops to escape from the enemy's siege. It is very possible that the whole army will be wiped out here.

Watching the people of the Karosa Tribe UN leave quickly, there were different orders passed to the front line, the ambush circle and siege network that could still be maintained. It was finally declared a complete failure. And in this situation, the wolf cavalry unit that was ready to fight broke out with amazing lethality, and the surrounding battle situation was even more tragic, and the human side retreated due to chaos and the retreat of the United Nations reinforcements of the Karosa tribe. The casualty toll soared to a terrifying level in just a dozen seconds.

"Let's go." The middle-aged man looked at the battlefield in front of him with a pale face. In the end, I struggled to spit out a few words from my mouth.

"The Third and Fourth Cavalry Corps ......"

"Give up." The middle-aged man said coldly, "Now we can't save it at all, and it's just a sacrifice for no reason that we continue to invest in troops, we can only see if they are lucky enough." ......" After saying these words with difficulty, the middle-aged man clenched his fists, he took one last look at the tragic battlefield, and then resolutely turned away, but muttered two words in his mouth: "Hela!" ”

A trail of blood. Slowly flowing from his lips.

……

Different from watching the situation on the battlefield of the ambush circle, it was located in a camp tent dozens of kilometers away from the final battle battlefield of the giant wolf cavalry. Hela was staring indifferently at the map spread out on the long table. More than a dozen circles of different sizes have been circled with red and blue ink pens, and each circle has a small number of flags with different meanings, some of which are small but have more than a dozen small flags, and some of which are very large but have only three or four small flags.

At this moment, a herald ran into the camp tent and shouted, "Report to Lord Hela, I have just received information from the front that the Giant Wolf Cavalry Legion led by General Patou has won a great victory. The Ten Thousand Beasts Legion of the Karatha Tribe United Nations suffered heavy casualties, and the preliminary estimate was that the number of troops was reduced by at least 14,000 men; The third, fourth, and fifth armies of Rob in the Knight Kingdom were all wiped out! ”

"Has the Ten Thousand Beasts Legion of the Karosa Tribe United Nations been hit hard? …… Then they will most likely change their tactics. Hela glanced at the map, then reached out and pulled out the four flags planted on the west side of the map, and at the same time circled the map with a blue ink pen, circled five red circles and three blue circles together, and then drew a cross on each of the red circles, and then pulled out the dozen flags in the big blue circle in one go, "What about the northeast side?" ”

"There's no news yet." The intelligence officer bowed his head and said.

"Give Patu an order to uproot all enemy forces within a hundred kilometers of the perimeter." Hela withdrew her gaze from the map on her desk, "Within two days." Tell him that I don't ask about the process, I just want the result, and it's his business to do what he wants to do. ”

"Yes!" The herald nodded, and immediately exited the tent.

"Sigley!" Hela's voice rang out again.

A mature and charming woman walked into the tent: "Lord Hela, what do you command?" ”

"Prepare Berrow to attack and go out to-morrow morning to meet Patu, but tell him that he will only be able to join Patu at dusk on the third day to rescue him, and that he will have to stay with me even if Patu is completely destroyed before then." Hela thought for a moment, and then drew three small circles on the map with a red ink pen, but these three circles partially coincided with the big basket she had just drawn, "After the convergence rescue, they will annihilate all the enemy forces in their line of sight, and then take the Marquis of Hagrid directly, they must take the entire Marquis of Hagrid within the fifth day after the convergence, and complete the defense control." …… Again, I don't ask about the process, I just ask about the result. ”

"Well, if General Patu's army is completely annihilated......"

"Tell Perowe to ask for his own blessings. Regardless of the final outcome of Patu's army, he only had five days to complete the mission. Hela said in a cold voice, "I don't have time to spend any more time here." It's been a month and my layout is almost finished, so if it disrupts my layout at this time, he knows the result. ”

"Yes." Sigrid shivered subconsciously, then nodded and left.

Since a month ago, Hela was promoted to the head of the Void Empire's Strategy Department, officially becoming one of the four giants of the Void Empire. Sigley knew that Lord Hela's whole person had changed a lot, and she was especially murderous.

Yes.

It's been two months since Sean disappeared.

And the Void Principality. He also officially announced the upgrade to the empire a month ago, without the slightest hesitation and hesitation, and even without the process of greeting the world and making them mentally prepared. After officially announcing the elevation to the Empire, Cecilia, who is now officially taking over the position of Acting Emperor of the Empire, asked the Knights of Roboin and the Karosa Tribe to stop their invasion of the Duchy of Garrod. And after this order was refused. Cecilia simply declared war on these two countries.

At the same time, the person in charge of the post of commander-in-chief of this battlefield was Hela, who was transferred from the battlefield of the Savage Lands.

and William, who became the Minister of War of the Void Empire, shared the command of half of the army of the Void Empire.

Diana became the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Void Empire, and Neil was the Minister of Government of the Void Empire, and the two were in charge of the diplomacy and all government affairs of the entire Void Empire.

Since then, the four giants of the Void Empire have been officially established.

And Cecilia is also known as the Phoenix Queen of the Void Empire. Temporarily in full control of the entire Void Empire.

No one concealed Sean's disappearance, but it was precisely because of Sean's disappearance, the former Grand Duke of the Void Duchy. However, the entire Void Principality did not fall into any civil strife and strife, which made the people of the entire Miracle Continent realize the horror of the Void Empire.

But what's even more terrifying is that after the appearance of Queen Phoenix's name, the Millennium Covenant Empire also issued a statement for the first time: they will advance and retreat together with the Void Empire!

This is the first time that two empires have formed an alliance on the Miracle Continent.

This sign also made countless people finally clearly realize that the era of order in the Miracle Continent, which was controlled by the Peace Council, had finally come to an end.

Before a new order was born, the whole world finally became chaotic.

But countless people have found that in this chaos, there are also countless opportunities!

But there are countless opportunities, which also means that there are countless dangers.

Just as Sigley felt that Hela had become much more murderous since she was officially established as the Big Four of the Void Empire, she didn't know that Hela's pressure was countless times greater now than before.

Looking at Sigley's departure, Hela's brows furrowed even tighter: "Invasion, deception, lure, ambush...... What a boring tactic. Now that I'm almost done, and it's only the final battle of Marquis Hagrid, what tactics will you use? Hmm, huh...... It should be to divide the army into a three-way counterattack to prevent me from marching into the Marquis of Hagrid, and then deceive and pretend to be internal divisions to lure me into going deep alone, and finally use the Marquis of Hagrid as an encirclement point to start a decisive battle with me......"

"I'll do what you want, let Patu continue to make a big fuss over there, and the counterattack of the three-way army will be surrounded, and it is estimated that the strength of the army will not be less than 100,000." Hai stretched his hand and tapped on the table, lost in thought, "The strength of the tribe of Berrowe is about forty thousand, and if Patu does what I instruct, the current strength should still be around forty thousand. Then after holding out for three days, there should be more than 15,000 people, and Borowe will enter the ...... from the rear of the enemy army at this time."

"Sigley!" Hela shouted again.

"Lord Hela." Sigley hurried into the tent, "I've given orders to General Browe. ”

"Not enough."

"What?" Siggley didn't understand.

"Let Hoghogg set off with Berrow, the enemy's strength will probably be about 100,000, and the follow-up will be about 50,000, and only Perowe and Patu will not be able to hold the Marquis of Hagrid. …… You tell the two of them that they must hold on to me for a month after they take the Marquis of Hagrid, and that I will not send any troops to support them during this time. ”

"Yes...... It's ......" Sigrid nodded, then quickly turned to leave.

"That's right." Hela spoke again.

"Yes." Higrid, who had stopped at the door of the tent, turned around.

"Tell them that if the enemy withdraws and splits, just leave them alone and just kill them. But...... Move quickly, and if the pursuit distance is more than three miles, don't pursue, especially if you don't enter terrain such as valleys. ”

"Understood." Sigrid nodded, then quickly turned to leave.

Hela continued to look at the map, but instead of looking at the northern part of the map, the northeastern part of the map, the Garold Fortress and the surrounding area.

"A month...... Hela stroked her hair, "but I'll only have ten days, and by the time they find out it's a trap, the Garrod Fortress will be liberated." …… But nearly 100,000 troops went to be used as bait, well, it seems that my heart is getting bigger and bigger now. …… But it doesn't matter, the Karossa Tribal United Nations is now much stronger than the Robyin Knight State, so the Robyin Knight State will definitely find a way to weaken the power of the Karossa Tribal United Nations for the final result. Tut...... Hearts and minds. ”

……

Just as Hela continued her strategic layout and ordered the transfer and instructions, the two sides of the Roboin Knighthood and the Karosa Tribe United Nations met again.

The two of them had a heated discussion about the losses caused by the erroneous command of the Ten Thousand Beast Legion, but Rob had to give in once again to the compensation agreement because the knighthood was not very strong in the first place. Although this made them feel angry, but now in the face of the increasingly powerful Void Empire, the two sides who gradually felt that they could not resist did not want to really let this alliance be broken like this, so while Robyin gave in, Karosa did not gain an inch.

"So what are you going to do next?"

"By our Robyin Knight Kingdom sending troops to lure the enemy in front, we will send a three-way army to flank the enemy, and directly eat this giant wolf cavalry regiment while they are in victory before they have time to send follow-up troops." The general, who was still the one who had made a mistake in command before, spoke, "I have learned a lesson this time, and I know the actual combat effectiveness of the orc troops, so I will definitely not make the same mistake as before." ”

"This can be had, so how do you need our Karossa Tribe United Nations to cooperate?"

"After we have eaten the enemy's giant wolf cavalry regiment, the enemy will definitely have some support and action, and we hope that you will send a force to reinforce at that time." The middle-aged man spoke, "Today's tactics have proven that the enemy will not distinguish between deception and lure, and will always pursue as long as he sees a rout. So I think this tactic can still be used, but this time, in order to be more realistic, I plan to ask you to cooperate with us in a drama of infighting and division. ”

"Oh?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's that I prepared a trap, located in Rhodes Canyon. When the enemy reinforcements appear, we want your forces from the United Nations of Karossa to intercept them, and then we will pretend that we have not been able to reinforce because of a mistake, at which point you can just show anger and lead the army to withdraw, and we will be responsible for luring the enemy army to the gorge, and then we will flank the front and back. ”

"Do you want us to sacrifice an army?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded, "There's no way around it. ”

However, unlike his awe-inspiring appearance, what he wanted at this time was to take this opportunity to weaken the power of the Karosa Tribe United Nations, so as to increase the bargaining chips for his own side. (To be continued.) )
