Chapter 1204: Soldiers Are Not Bloody
While Taria was trying to memorize the "exam materials", a battle had just broken out in the territory of the "Cassat" country, thousands of miles away.
It was night, and the human army assembled outside the fortress of Les exceeded 6,000 men, the fourth group of troops to attack after the Orc regime of Sauron took over the area.
The first three groups of teams that came here were all defeated, but this time the leader of the Count Scania was obviously well prepared, after arriving outside the fortress today, he dug trenches and cut trees to make ladders and engineering vehicles, and saw that the city gate was closed and the city wall was sparsely populated, Count Scania was full of confidence, and even roasted a whole sheep leisurely in the center of the camp.
These countries in the eastern part of the Karen Kingdom have been fighting all year round, but when they really fight, they are always "small fights", and the scale of the battle of more than 10,000 people can be called an "epic war", so now the number of more than 6,000 attacking troops has been called an unprecedented "super force" in recent years - the Earl is full of confidence, and has even ordered: "The city must be broken within ten days!"
But just as the earl had eaten and drunk enough, and was about to return to the camp to rest, a strange call came from the rear of the camp.
"What sound?"
He turned his head to look, and the faint glow of the campfire could only reflect the figures of the farmers in charge of the logistics troops in the rear, they were basically villagers recruited along the way, and although the makeshift camp was trying to be organized, the personnel were scattered, and there was even a verbal discord and brawl just now.
"My lordship, it seems that there is an enemy..."
The guard next to him spoke, because the sound in the distance had gradually turned into a wail, and at the same time, suddenly a firelight burst out - for a moment, there seemed to be a red wave in the darkness slapping towards him, and with a "boom", a large pile of food was instantly ignited, and then the sea of fire that spread quickly made the soldiers fall into panic...
"There's a mage attacking, what the hell is going on?!Pasti! Hold the line, don't run around! Stand up!"
Count Scania ordered loudly, he was not a military idiot, he knew that he must have been attacked, but in the darkness he could only vaguely see some dark shadows in the distance, but he couldn't see what was going on at all—but just as the guards around him had gathered, the wolf howl suddenly came from the side.
It was the sound of hundreds of giant wolves howling in unison, and the next moment, as if something suddenly broke through the dark barrier, a large group of wolf cavalry appeared in the western position of the entire queue without warning, and launched a charge at a distance of two hundred meters!
Only the trench on the north side of the camp had just been dug up, and the ground on the west side remained flat because it had not had time to start construction - in fact, when the wolf cavalry rushed into the flank camp, Count Scania realized that even if there was a trench here, they would not be able to stop each other!
Because these orcs and wolves in front of him are beyond imagination: the wolf's shoulder height is more than two meters, the huge wolf head is more terrifying than any monster he has ever seen, and what makes his heart palpitate the most is... All the wolf knights are covered with simple but extremely tight metal armor!
Many of the soldiers who responded in a panic raised their weapons to resist, but they were only touched by the side of the wolf, and they flew out in an instant, breaking their tendons and fractures on the spot.
Their weapons bounced directly off the wolf's armor, and many of them were even trampled on by the wolf. After experiencing the blessing of Sauron's witch doctor's spell, the lethality of this group of wolf knights is no weaker than that of some small wurm beasts.
More than two hundred wolf cavalry is simply not worth mentioning in terms of numbers, against a position of six thousand people. However, the orcs in the darkness, with their mounts weighing more than three tons and covering their bodies with two or three layers of iron armor, easily tore through the unprepared defenses, and did not stop, and went straight to the center of the camp.
These orcs didn't seem to have thought about the decline of their impact power at all, and in the fierce collision and screams, blood was all over the wolf's body, while the wolf knight holding a steel spear always maintained the direction of the impact, and went straight into the central area where the Count Scania was.
More than a hundred soldiers had lined up in a defensive array to protect the Earl - but more than a dozen wolf cavalry rushed directly to kill regardless of it, even if the brave guards blocked it with their bodies and tried their best to drag the first batch of wolf cavalry teams with their lives, the second wolf cavalry squad still jumped up, trampled on the crowd that was no longer in formation, and came to the earl without hindrance.
The three mages beside Count Scania desperately unleashed the fireball, but the orc overseers in armor still rushed in front of them without hindrance when their bodies were blown away by two layers of armor, and the steel spears in their hands stabbed forward, piercing through one of the guards and the Count Scania at the same time.
At this moment, time seems to stand still. But the furious Overseer leapt from the scarred wolf, flicked the two of them off with a steel spear, and swept the heads of the two mages.
At this time, the other wolf knights who followed had completely controlled the situation, and after seeing the Count being pierced by a blow, the soldiers who had been fighting desperately lost their fighting spirit and stood there in a daze...
Overseer Taborr threw away his bent steel spear, picked up the mortally wounded Count with one hand, and ripped off his head's head in a brutal manner...
The earl, who had just been talking and laughing and enjoying the food, was now bleeding from his head and several cervical vertebrae, and his body was thrown away.
Without any superfluous words, the core guard scattered and collapsed on the spot, and the shouts of "Lord Count is dead" sounded all around, and at the same time, the four or five hundred orcs who followed after the wolf cavalry slaughtered the scattered soldiers like bulldozers.
The lit tents in the camp lit up the sky, and the unmotivated resistance soon came to an end, and the monster-like orcs not only traveled on their own, but also brought with them a thousand obedient "auxiliaries" in the rear, who had been trained for days - with the help of these humans, they easily scattered and captured more than 2,000 soldiers, and the rest were either killed or scattered in the wilderness.
At daybreak, Sauron walked the bloody and charred ruins of the camp and held the funeral rites for the six wolf knights and eight wolves who had died in battle.
Subsequently, he executed on the spot the three nobles in the enemy team who had been scolding - when the brains smashed by the chain hammer splashed into the mouths of the other nobles, the young nobles who originally thought about "mixed military merit" at the scene were completely frightened and peed their pants.
They begged for mercy in the hope of being loyal to Sauron.
The Great Chief did not embarrass them, and graciously accepted their allegiance.
After that, he looked south.
