Chapter 21: The Wind of Kings

On July 6, 1686, the short confrontation in the valley of Zoroaster in northern shamania finally ended, in this valley where there were nearly 10,000 troops on both sides, the human army of the Pole Kingdom, which was preparing for war faster, first broke the silence, at dawn, a round of twelve burning boulders were thrown on the opposite position, and a sea of fire burned in the camp of the orcs, and the orcs who had been prepared for a long time were no longer as caught off guard as they were on the border line a few days ago, although the human boulders caused some casualties, but the orcs still rushed out of the camp in a neat formation, and rushed towards the human camp in a menacing manner, where the whole line pressed the ultra-long pitchers in the orc army- -The cyclops also threw some boulders at the opposite position to return the color

However, the human catapult attack only lasted for one round, and there was no sign of continuing the bombardment, and when the orcs rushed to the front of the human camp, they found that the human army was already lined up and waiting for their arrival, and the boulder attack just now was not so much a sneak attack as a notification to the orcs on the other side: we are going to war

The frenzied orcs stopped at the behold of their respective war leaders, and the two sides lined up at a distance of about two hundred meters, facing the human army in front of the position with a row of anti-collision horses, and in the first row of defensive shield soldiers, followed by hoplites, light infantry, and two rows of crossbowmen, while the orc army was in front of the wolf cavalry, followed by gladiators and a small number of berserkers, centaurs, The axe-throwers and cyclops were in this formation, and if the orc army continued to rush forward, it would inevitably suffer a great loss, so the war leaders ordered the order to stop the advance, and accordingly, the orc commander also made a formation adjustment, and the wolffang soldiers were withdrawn from the first row and replaced with a group of Beamon behemoths and cyclops armed with giant clubs

At this time, the sky has gradually brightened, the battlefield is full of dissipating atmosphere, and it will not be long before the valley of Zoroaster will become a mountain of corpses, a sea of blood, and the orcs are busy dancing and singing war songs, and the orc warriors have become more bloodthirsty and more excited under the stimulation of wonderful shamanic magic, and the human army on the opposite side has also been greatly boosted by the light magic of the priest. The only difference was that a cloud of yellow gas rose from the camp of the human army, and rushed directly into the air, and the human army shrouded in yellow smoke fell into the clouds

The khanate orcs let out a uniform roar, and the waves swept through the sky like an overwhelming wave, and some of the soldiers standing in the first row of the human army could not bear the trembling of their whole bodies

Praise to our king, the soldiers of Pole also sent out their front shouts, the momentum approached and even exceeded the cries of the orcs, and the soldiers in the front row, who were trembling all over the body by the shouts of the orcs, when they heard the shouts of this array, their courage returned, they no longer trembled, they straightened the floor, their bodies shook their spirits, originally the slogan shouted in front of the Pole King team was God bless Bole, but since Duris became the lord of Pole, in order to take care of the feelings of those soldiers brought from the Fayele Empire, he changed the slogan of the shout to praise my king, anyway, fighting under the banner of the same king, whether it is a foreign soldier or a native soldier, it is the same

The stronger side can not only improve the morale of its own soldiers, but also deter the enemy's psychology, so that the enemy's combat effectiveness will be reduced in the next big battle, but it is clear that the orcs are much better than humans in terms of shouting before the battle

The Khan's majesty, another shout, came from the opposite side of the orc army, the difference was several times stronger than just now, the roar of the Polish army was covered at once, and the entire valley was covered by the terrifying sounds of the orcs, at this time, the Polish soldiers standing in the front row could no longer bear it, they dropped their weapons, covered their ears with their hands, Moaning in pain, not only the soldiers in the front, but also the soldiers in the middle and back were affected by this terrifying cry, their hands shaking so frightened that they lost their weapons on the ground - but despite this, not a single human soldier turned and fled, which shows the strict discipline of the Polish army

Seeing the other party's human beings, they were immediately intimidated by their own shouts, and the command of the orc clan laughed, and under their orders, wave after wave of khan majesty, the khanate roar swept over, and the entire valley shook the heavens and the earth

At this time, a knight rode out of the formation of the Polish army on a black war horse, and the speed of the war horse was not fast, but when the knight slowly walked to the front of the formation, the Polish army's position suddenly fell silent, and the noise and moaning quickly disappeared...... A few seconds later, an unprecedented cry erupted from the Polish position: Praise my king

The shouts of the Polish army actually suppressed the majestic voice of the orc khan at once

The commander of the orc clan looked down from the command platform, and saw that the knight on a black war horse was wearing a royal knight's armor, holding a fighting spear in his hand, and a cyan cloak behind him was hunting in the wind

The royal knight of the human race, he had seen more than one, but it was the first time that the royal knight with such a strong force for the army behind him had seen the orc commander, and he felt a little incredible, and he asked a human sitting next to him: Do you know who this person is, strange that there are humans in the army of the orcs

This man ...... Why was he here, he shouldn't be here, and he was unusually stunned by the human sitting with the orc commander, but more of a fear

Don't talk about who this man is, the orc commander is a little impatient

He is the self-proclaimed puppet king of the kingdom of Poile, Duris Heath

What is he, he is the king of the human country that invaded the shamania actually went into battle in person, and the orc commander was also a little surprised, and then he shouted to his subordinates, Okay, who is going to get the king's skull back, and as soon as the orc commander's words fell, an orc rode a bison and rushed out of front of the battle

In the orc army, the difference between the war leader and the ordinary orc warrior is like a human knight and an ordinary soldier, from a certain point of view, the hierarchy within the orc army is more stringent, and the orc war leader is divided into eight levels from low to high: ten-captain, great ten-captain, centurion, thousand-commander, phalanx leader, chief, great chief, Warlords, and the war leaders of each level have very strict restrictions on their mounts: the lowest level of the Ten Captains can only ride wild wolves like ordinary orc soldiers, the Great Ten Captains and Centurions can ride the higher level of war wolves, the Thousand Commanders are allowed to ride the Wolf King, as for the bison, they are the mounts of the phalanx leader, the chief and the Great Chief ride the war bull, and the War Bull King must be the most senior warlord to be eligible to ride, and this war leader appears on the bison, indicating that he is a fifth-level phalanx leader

Although orcs are known for their bravery, the result of challenging an eighth-level royal knight with a fifth-level strength can be imagined

Duris flapped his horse and directly confronted the phalanx leader, only to see the lightning moment when the two mounts intersected, and the fighting spear pierced into the heart of the orc, and the phalanx leader fell from the bison to the ground, vomiting blood and panting for breath for a few seconds, and then died for a few seconds

The human army was silent for a few seconds, and then erupted in thunderous cheers to celebrate their king's victory in the first battle, while the orc commander's face was very ugly, although the strength of the two sides was three levels apart, but it would be difficult to take the life of a phalanx leader with a single blow, and replace it with other royal knights

Before the orc commander could give a new order, another orc rushed out, only to see him riding a war ox, the war leader was a chieftain, not only that, he was also the elder brother of the phalanx leader just now, and his brother was killed, which made him angry on the spot, and he wanted to kill Duris with his own hands to avenge his brother

The soldiers on both sides fell silent again, and the sound of two weapons intersecting on the battlefield seemed to be evenly matched, but it was not until the ninth turn that Duris deliberately showed a flaw and led the chief to slash at his left side with an axe, while Duris was short and his fighting spear swept towards the left forelimb of the war bull

The broken bull monster screamed, and the chief on his back fell to the ground, and the angry chief pushed the bull that held him down, and by this time his eyes had turned red, and he let out a wild roar towards the sky—a sign before the orcs went berserk, but Duris did not give him a chance to go berserk, and a spear pierced him in the throat

Duris slashed and killed two orc war leaders one after another, and in addition to bringing the hope of victory and high morale to his own human army, he also filled the opposing orc army with anger and shock

Then, with his head held high, his face in his forties still showed the heroic demeanor of his youth, and he stretched out three fingers with his left hand to the orc army, and then clenched it into a fist at once

The king's meaning is clear: he wants to challenge three orcs at the same time.
