Chapter 317: Cavalry Attack

It seems that they have never worried about supplies, but the army of the Drew Empire has found that their intelligence system has completely lost its effectiveness, and the magical creatures that infiltrate the place and the various long-range observation magic of the magicians seem to have suddenly failed.

The only judgment that the Archmage of Thorne of the Sorcerers' Guild could make was that the other party's priests used magic to block the use of magic.

Fanst looked at it for a while, there was no movement in the barracks opposite, only some weak orcs in charge of baggage walking around there, Prince Fanster asked the logistics officer in the back:

"There is no problem with our supplies. ”

The logistics officer replied with confidence:

"Your Royal Highness, there is already enough storage in the nearby warehouse for half a year's worth of storage for the troops in the barracks. ”

A regimental commander on the side asked:

"Your Royal Highness, the heavy cavalry in the barracks has been completely assembled, a total of 1,400 people, and 5,000 light cavalry, which can provide twenty magicians to help in it, should we go out and harass it now." ”

Prince Fanst calculated carefully there and nodded, after all, after so many days of stalemate, the battle without any results was extremely demoralizing, which was also extremely detrimental to his own mastery of the army, and the reason why he was even more hidden in his heart was that Prince Fanst always had an unfathomable and profound feeling about the werewolf barracks in front of him.

Because in any way, even the orcs' actions these days are too unconventional, making him more and more bottomless in his heart.

In addition, the priests and knights of the Church of Light, who had strongly supported him in the past, suddenly said that they had received orders from the Muni Cathedral, and they all pulled back from the front line, although the combat strength and help of these people were not decisive for the legion of nearly 100,000 people.

But for Prince Fanst, he wondered if the other party had given up his support for him, but he had always been forced to be calm, and he had made up his mind that if he was isolated and completely lost his troops, then he would go back and be a prince with peace of mind.

Anyway, it was his own sister, maybe things still had a turn, no matter what he planned there, the commander of the legion, after getting his permission, began to order the cavalry troops to be gathered.

Because the werewolves' fight-and-run tactics have exhausted the army of the Dru Empire, the most mobile cavalry in the barracks has long begun to be used together, completely counteracting the flexible advantage of the werewolves, and only forty or so griffin knights are also being prepared.

It was because the deployment had been made a few days earlier, so after Prince Fanst gave this order, the heavy cavalry and light cavalry in the barracks were quickly prepared, and in the middle of the barracks' fence wall, the iron-clad gate creaked open, and the heavy cavalry and light cavalry rushed out.

With the beating of the drums of the human barracks, the werewolf barracks on the opposite side also whined and blew the horn, the smoke and dust began to rise, and the werewolf soldiers came out of the tents with weapons and shields, and soon formed a loose formation in front of the tent.

The magician beside Prince Fanst, who was looking from above, cast a downward eye, and in the air in front of him appeared a scene that seemed to be seen by a falcon in the sky, and the battle-hardened generals looked intently at the scene in front of them, and after a little calculation, they knew that the number of werewolves was still the same.

This also made Prince Fanst, who had been worried that the other party's camp was a suspicious tactic, breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how fast the werewolves ran this time, there would not be as fast as the elite cavalry of the Drew Empire, presumably the trouble in front of him should be relieved, Prince Fanst thought of this, and turned back to follow the priest of the Temple of War on the side, this priest is the Grand Priest of Lyle from the union of the city-states of Maidan, and said politely:

"High priest Lyle, please gather the God of War believers in the temple, I think those who will go out to sweep the battlefield in a while will definitely be the people who are blessed by the gods. “

God of War believers do not refer to those people who pray and worship in the God of War Temple, and even some priests of the God of War cannot get this title, because the believers of the God of War are all the most elite troops of the God of War Temple, and they are also the most elite troops of the Drew Empire, and the patriarch of the God of War Temple has the blood of the royal family of the Drew Empire, and he will not marry for life and have no offspring, so he can gain the favor of the God of War and gain strength, so his mastery of this army is actually equivalent to the royal power of Drew.

The composition of the believers of the god of war are all elite warriors and warriors, and the biggest premise for these strong people to be called believers is that they have completely converted to the god of war, and sworn not to believe in other gods, unlike those who do rank tests and prayers in the temple of the god of war, those people are only called "protectors of the god of war".

The daily work of the "believers" can even be done without prayer, just to exercise their combat skills, and cooperate with the priests of the god of war, in the laws of the Drew Empire, the person who becomes a believer in the god of war is at least a commoner without any creditor's rights, and there is no example of intermarriage with people from other countries within five generations of the family.

This ensures that the God of War believers are completely represented by pure Drews with pure estate, in fact, most of the current God of War believers are the second sons of minor nobles, and they are also the most brave people in the country.

Hearing Prince Fanst's order, the high priest of Lyle bent down to show his obedience, and whispered a few words to a priest beside him, and the priest ran down to inform the God of War believers to prepare for battle, and incidentally, as the most elite strength of the God of War believers, there are a total of fifteen thousand people in the entire Drew Empire, and there are two thousand people in this military camp.

After arranging the various orders, Prince Fanst commanded to the generals and regimental commanders beside him:

"Now, according to yesterday's plan, the various legions are ready to attack at any time to clear the empire of these demonic slaves. ”

With the beating of drums, the cavalry outside kept changing formations, adjusting the queue of impact, the heavy cavalry must have a complete queue to form the maximum impact and lethality, before that, the light cavalry throwing javelins and firing bows and arrows must start to harass first.

Because these days it is only infantry and a small number of cavalry who go out to fight, the werewolves may not be familiar with this tactic, but they are arranged there according to the convention, the speed of the light cavalry is very fast, and soon it is in front of the array, Drew's light cavalry, about fifty meters away from the werewolf, turned a corner, and rained javelins and bows and arrows fluttered past.

As light infantry, the werewolves only had simple iron wooden shields and long swords and iron armor in their hands, but these were not enough to protect against the heavy javelins and steel arrows that had been improved by humans in the great battles between humans for many years.

However, the loose formation protected this, and the werewolves behind quickly distanced themselves, according to the records in the literature hundreds of years ago, the orcs would immediately collapse after suffering such an attack, but this time it was different, the werewolves just quickly adjusted the queue.

Then he retreated step by step, and the person in charge of these soldiers outside was also a corps commander, and when he saw that the opponent's formation was harassed by the long-range weapons of the light cavalry, there was no sign of collapse at all, but the defense was extremely orderly, and he couldn't help but worry slightly.

In the records of those classics, every time the orcs attacked, they were hit by long-range weapons, and immediately retreated, and they couldn't help but curse secretly in their hearts, those useless legends, shouted at the magicians beside them:

"You and your companions perform a magic strike!!"

In the Drew Empire, although the magical civilization is flourishing, the status of the magician is not as high as that of other countries, and all the powerful forces in the Drew are under the leadership of a supreme military commander. Must be subordinated to the command of the military chief, and despite the exalted status of Archmage Thorne, this fact cannot be changed.

Hearing the order of the legion commander, several magicians immediately quickly blessed each other with magic, and slowly rose into the air, the big war magic is different from the private fight, when several magicians rose into the air, their bodies have been wrapped in spells to defend against long-range strikes.

The originally clear sky above the werewolf army formation began to be covered with dark clouds, and the electric light flickered faintly in the clouds, obviously a large thunderstorm spell, as soon as the dark clouds on the head formed, the werewolves' originally neat formation immediately looked a little unstable, but the commander of the army who commanded the battle was very dissatisfied there, and the most powerful spell on the battlefield was the flame spell, but he was also clear in his heart.

As early as a hundred years ago, magicians had no more powerful fire spells except for their own fireballs and flames, and magic theorists could not do anything about this phenomenon, and could only explain it in general terms that multiple wars had consumed the fire element of the magic element too cleanly, so it caused the decay of fire magic.

Seeing the confusion of the werewolf formation, the commander of the front-line light cavalry immediately adjusted his strategy, no longer firing javelins and bows and arrows, but raised his long knife and began to charge towards the werewolf formation.
