When Victor arrived at the camp in Maverick Village, the soldiers of the Eastern Defense Line were cleaning up the battlefield.

Gillian's eyes were sharp, and she was the first to see her lover, and she squeezed away the attendants who were busy recording the spoils of war and ran far away. She cheered, and in front of Suihu, she pounced on Victor's body, her elastic slender legs wrapped around his waist, and kissed him quickly on the lips before she giggled and let go of Victor.

"Did you miss me? Did you bring me a gift?"

Miss Chebman stretched out her slender hand towards Victor, her face was crimson, and the delicate appearance of the phoenix eyes was less cold and glamorous than before, but more charming.

She wore a set of dark red women's leather armor, which was beautiful and finely made, outlining the tall and fiery body curves. This is a special gift from the Sassan royal family to Gillian, and it is made of gold-level centaur leather tanned into women's full-body leather armor. The gold-level centaur leather is a strange thing with an affinity for the earth element, and the affinity efficiency and combat defense performance of the void earth element are superior to the Mithril armor, especially suitable for the Earth Knight to wear. Jillian is usually very interested in this set of leather armor treasures, and he is reluctant to take them out and wear them in a large iron box.

The Golden Centaur Skin Armor, while good, also attracts the hatred of the Centaurs. However, fighting against the centaur army does not matter whether it induces hatred or not.

Victor held Jillian's soft hand, looked at her carefully from head to toe, confirmed that she was not injured, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "What worries me the most is that you, the earth knight who is not an earth knight yet. ”

Gillian's heart was sweet, but her mouth persistently asked, "Where is my gift?"

"I'm in a hurry, I'll make up for it next time. Victor shook his head and smiled, looked at the dilapidated Calf Village camp, frowned and asked, "What's the matter, why, our main reinforcements from Gambis are here to fight the centaurs?"

"We just had a fight. ”

"Well, obviously. ”

"Won. ”

"It was amazing. ”

"We've got many, many loot, and half of the centaur skins alone belong to us......"

Gillian said with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, I saw ......"

Victor's gaze swept across the battlefield and he gathered a wealth of information. Of course, anyone who is not blind can see what is going on here.

"Princess Freya Frederick has promised to give us a handsome gift for the reinforcements of Gambis. ”

"I really don't know...... My dear baby, I am as happy about it as you are...... Forget it, I'll ask someone else again, and you can go ahead and count the loot...... We'll see you soon. ”

Seeing Count Terrandon and several High Knights of Gombis approaching in the Centaur Hills, Victor kissed Gillian on the cheek and beckoned the High Knights to change places to speak.

The movement had already been seen by the clergy and the Sarsan knights. Randall's Highness stopped where he was and waited for the great knights of Cambys, who were not going to come forward and disturb them, and they all did their own things.

Victor led the high-ranking knights of Gombis to find a secluded place, let the entourage spread their vigilance, and asked with a solemn expression, "There are two lesser Excellencies...... Viscount Gilles York and Earl Fort August. ”

The faces of the crowd were suddenly gloomy, and the Earl of Turlandon York said with great sorrow: "Grace and Lord Fort have unfortunately fallen into the hands of the Centaur Great Khan. ”

Gilis and Fort are the Silver Knights of the older generation of Gambis, both over 100 years old, and they have been stuck at the top of the Silver Tier for quite some time. Before the Cambys' reinforcements went north, Sylvia and Marquis of Goron had predicted that these two Earth Knights would be the most likely to fight to the death and fall to the death.

The loss of a silver knight each to the royal family of Cambes and the descendants of the clan made Victor's heart mixed, but the great knights were ashamed to die in battle, and it was their tradition to return to the Elemental Sea by dying in battle.

He adjusted his mood and asked again, "What about our eldest princess and the ladies of the major families?"

Victor's former neighbor, Viscount Alex, replied: "The Great Centaur Khan broke out of the encirclement with a few fierce centaurs and fled south. On that side was the Wharton Prairie, and the Knights of the Iron Wall of Dordor were in pursuit, and King Friedrich asked us and the Sarsanians to assist in the pursuit. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess thought that we were running too slowly, and she and the three ladies led the Swift Dragon Knights to chase after us. ”

Hearing that Roland was currently safe and sound, Victor breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "In this battle, do we have big losses?"

"The losses were heavy, with more than 20,000 elites of Cambis killed 1,889 on the spot, more than 700 seriously injured, and more than 5,000 slightly injured. The Earl of Turlandon said bitterly: "Two great knights have fallen, 14 official knights have died, and 55 probationary knights have died in battle. Your Highness, your little squire, the knight, Saru, was also killed, and the rest were wounded, but they were all right. ”

Saru is a noble child adopted by Silvermoon Manor from the Eastern Alliance, he is one of the few probationary knights who have awakened naturally, with the knight to the mind secret method and gold potion designed by Victor, he has a greater chance of being promoted to a senior knight, and even achieved the silver rank.

Little Saru was killed in battle, and Victor felt sorry and sad, but the flowers in the greenhouse were destined to be delicate and useless. Only those who have actually experienced the war can become the pillars of the Randall family. Thankfully, Charlotte and the other knights are fine, and Victor believes that this bloody battle will be the food for them to thrive and the beginning of their life transformation.

This thought can be regarded as a kind of self-consolation for Victor. Saru Jr. had just turned 15 years old, and he should not have been at this age to participate in such a fight, and he did not need to bear the accusation of cowardice. Victor brought the little squire from the Centaur Hills to the Sassan Empire, just to show them the real pioneer war, and was not prepared to send them to their deaths. Before leaving, Victor had already arranged for them, but a small squire died.

The culprit must be Roland!

"Patriarch Friedes will not ask for your initiative. What the hell is going on at Duncan's Fortress?" asked Victor coldly, his eyes like frost.

The high-ranking knights looked at each other, their expressions becoming strange, and finally Viscount Alex stood up to answer the Guardian's question:

"The Great Khan of the Centaurs is menacing and attacking the Maverick Village stronghold. We didn't want to fight either, but not long after Patriarch Freides left Duncan's Fortress, the eldest princess Freya Frederick arrived at the fortress with three high-ranking knights and 3,000 cavalry. ”

"My Royal Highness personally went to the gate to greet the eldest princess Freya, and asked her directly, if she had come to avenge His Majesty Frederick and Archduke Frederick? ”

Alex couldn't help but smile and continued, "Princess Freya Frederick bowed and nodded yes. And then, it became like this. ”

Trandon added: "On the occasion of His Highness August's gathering of troops, we have made a proposal to inform Patriarch Friedus, Bloodwolf Castle, Duchess of Barcelius, and His Majesty Friedrich. The eldest princess of Roland did not accept the suggestion, and said in front of the soldiers, if we dare not fight the battle of revenge against the centaurs, then Gambis will not need to expand to the south. ”

Victor sighed in his heart, Roland had a similar encounter with Freya, she first used words to frame Freya, and then mentioned the battle of revenge, the silver knights of Gombis thought of His Majesty Ryan and the war in the Eastern Three Provinces, what else could they say?

But why did Roland risk the elite cavalry of Gombis?

The vassal cavalry are all the elite cultivated by various families, loyal, brave, good at fighting, and all of them are all-rounders, even more special forces than special forces. Cavalrymen from large families were exiled to Pinghu Town, and as long as they swore allegiance to the Randall family, they were eligible to serve as the captain of the mercenary legion, commanding 24 mercenary soldiers. They are the backbone of the mercenary corps and also military instructors. Nelson and Victor attach great importance to such people, and even if they can't fully trust them, they try to win them over and tap into their skills to improve the military literacy of mercenary soldiers.

In fact, when the lord issued a war order, the vassal cavalry was to take on the duties of a junior officer, and each could command 10 to 20 armed militias. Once fully mobilized, the 5,000-strong Fanged Legion could be expanded to 70,000 soldiers.

Such an elite, if one dies, the little lord will be distressed. Victor couldn't understand Roland's military adventures, nor could he figure out her true intentions in taking the initiative.

Freya hoisted the black flag of revenge, and the news soon spread throughout the Duncan Fortress defense area, and the garrison knights and soldiers asked for battle, and the priests stationed in the fortress could not hold it down. Terrandon continued: "In the afternoon, we arrived at the Maverick Village camp. Outside the barracks, there were about a few thousand centaurs on guard confronting us. Wait for the centaurs to break through the fence and carry food supplies outside. His Royal Highness Roland led more than 280 dragon knights to attack first, and then the whole army pressed on. The garrison kept coming, but the second to join the battle was Her Highness Oroxia Barcelius. ”

Victor's heart moved, the centaur Great Khan attacked the Maverick village camp, and Oroxia, who was guarding the northern section of the line, and King Friedrich, who was guarding the southern section, should mobilize mobile cavalry and move closer to the Duncan fortress defense area. They were indeed able to quickly support the Maverick Village stronghold.

Princess Frederick unfurled the black flag to avenge the Emperor and the Grand Duke, the garrison of the Eastern Frontier was furious, the high-ranking battle priests of Duncan Fortress could not be suppressed, and the two commanders, Oroksia and Friedrich, could not stop the commotion of the garrison.

Especially Orokthea Barcelius, the murderer of the emperor and the archduke is in the camp of the village of Calf, Freya clearly issued a battle of revenge, the duchess of Barcelius did not respond to the call for revenge, and prevented the garrison from supporting the defenders of the camp of the village of the cow to avenge the monarch, is this a blatant split?

Roland's squeeze on Freya for revenge is equivalent to coercing the soldiers of the Sassan Empire into the war, and their number exceeds that of the Cambis reinforcements, becoming the main force of the attack, and the military heart is available!

Of course, they must have suffered more casualties than the Gambis reinforcements.

"Her Highness Orokthea joins the fray, and we squeeze the centaurs into the camp in one go. The soldiers of the defense zone fought in the detachment one by one, fighting fiercely with the centaurs inside the barracks. The third cavalry to arrive at the battlefield was the Duoduo, but instead of immediately entering the battle, they assembled their forces in the south. ”

"Duke Baselius's Knights of Gripen arrived at the battlefield when the sun was setting, and they rushed directly into the camp to join the battle. Viscount Alex said excitedly: "The battle was fought bitterly, and the centaurs were weaker than we had imagined, and could not be used, and were crushed on the south side of the camp, with a lot of dead and wounded. Eventually, the Great Khan of the Centaurs broke through the fence and led a handful of ferocious centaurs to break out of the Duoduo. ”

The Duoduo cavalry hesitated, and it was reasonable. King Friedrich was most concerned about the centaur army entering the undefended Wharton steppe, and they placed heavy troops in the southern section of the line, either to deter the centaurs from moving south, or to reduce their numbers by killing and wounding as many centaur warriors as possible. Roland wanted the Dordor cavalry to take the initiative, and Friedrich could hardly have agreed.

Freya raised the banner of revenge for the emperor and the archduke, and the Sassan garrison in the southern section of the defense line was ready to move, and King Friedrich had no choice but to make a quick decision and gather the Knights of the Iron Wall and the mobile cavalry to support the battle of the Maverick Village camp.

He told the garrison of the southern section of the defense line with practical actions: We will fight the centaurs, and you can hold on to the fortifications with peace of mind.

The Dordor reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, but they did not move, and defended on the spot. First, the Calverick Village camp was full of men and centaurs, and they couldn't squeeze in, and second, they had to prevent the centaur army from breaking through the fence and fleeing south.

Therefore, the Knights of the Iron Wall and the Duoduo cavalry were deployed in place and took a defensive posture.

Friedrich's response may have been in Roland's calculations.

According to Tellandon, Roland and Oroxia led their army to squeeze the centaurs to the south side of the camp, and outside the south wall, there were tens of thousands of human soldiers waiting to work. Therefore, the Centaur Great Khan was slow to make up his mind to break through to the south, and only when the centaurs were dead and wounded did he break the fence of the camp and lead the remnants of the centaurs to flee south.

Victor's thoughts gradually became clear, and he gradually grasped Roland's intentions.

The Great Khan of the Centaurs gathered his army and counterattacked the hinterland of the Human Empire. This is a clever move, it mobilizes at least half of the human cavalry, and the pressure on the centaur group fleeing to the eastern region is greatly reduced, and the centaur gang can even hunt down the human cavalry.

This may be wisdom, and Victor believes that the Jedi counterattack of the Centaur Great Khan is a psychic intuition, a revelation from the collective consciousness, or the pan-consciousness of Mother Earth.

Roland probably doesn't believe that the centaur Great Khan can have much wisdom, so what will he do next when he leads more than 10,000 centaurs to the border of the Sassan Empire?

They are dead ends to the west, east, and north. Only further south, into the Wharton Prairie, can more than 10,000 centaurs survive the winter.

The Centaur Great Khan didn't know the way, but he instinctively found a way to live, and after laying the Maverick Village stronghold, it was most likely to migrate south!

For the Sassan Empire, these centaurs should not break into the hinterland of the empire and harm the people, but as long as more than 4,000 centaurs sneak into the Wharton prairie, the food routes of the two kingdoms of Dordor and Cambis will become precarious.

The Church could also carry out their Middle Kingdom strategy by opening up Naville's transportation corridor to the Sidon Khanate. The premise is that the human army first takes the entire Sidon Khanate and opens up the wilderness to achieve initial results.

It could take more than 20 years, and Gombis's southern expansion strategy couldn't wait that long.

Roland had come to appreciate the importance of logistical supplies for all-out warfare. In this orc war, half of the three years of grain reserves of the Sasang Empire were consumed, and the loss of horses, tools, and soldiers was not calculated. All of these things need food to support them, and there is no problem for Gombis to be self-sufficient, but it can be said that food reserves are too far behind the Sassan Empire.

Regardless of whether the centaurs would make their way south to the Wharton Prairie, Roland was going to kill that possibility once and for all.

Gambis couldn't accept a few thousand centaurs entering the Wharton Prairie, and a few hundred centaurs wouldn't be a big problem.

That's why Roland said:

If this battle is not fought, then Gambis will not need to expand south.

Friedes, who adopted a conservative strategy, was accidentally dragged into the water by Roland.

Victor couldn't help but admire, the unreliable Roland is so whimsical and amazing.

"Let's go, take me to see the battlefield. ”

The High Knights of Gombis surrounded the Guardians of the Kingdom as they walked towards the Calf Village stronghold. The clergyman and the knight of Sarsan, who were in charge of the aftermath, came forward to salute, and Victor bowed his head and turned his gaze to the crumbling fence.

The 18-meter-high fence collapsed in many places, the heavy logs were filled with javelins and arrows, and all the batteries were destroyed by heavy javelins. Victor crocheted the scene in his mind:

Nearly 20,000 centaurs fought from east to west, approaching the eastern defense line of the Human Empire, hungry, exhausted and scarred. The human cavalry will catch up at any time, and they are in desperate need of food and armaments, and then move quickly. Only by laying down a human gathering point can the centaurs have a chance of survival.

The Centaur Village camp at the forefront became a target for the centaurs.

The more than 2,000 garrison soldiers in the camp also had no way to retreat, and they were either all killed in battle, or they were supported by cavalry.

Centaurs weren't good at attacking cities in the first place, and they were now very weak. The garrison soldiers were well-equipped and ready for battle, and dozens of sentry ballistae could even threaten the centaurs of the Golden Rank.

The legendary centaur takes the field alone, using the heavy spear and tomahawk he snatched from the human cavalry, destroying the ballistas on the sentry posts one by one, and then ramming the barracks fence.

Victor reached out and stroked the edge of the fence, collecting a large amount of data to quickly gauge the weight and height of the legendary centaur. The log fence of the camp is very sturdy, but it is like tissue paper in front of the legendary centaur. However, the barracks were designed to withstand the impact of large orcs, mixed with a large amount of dirt, gravel and mortar, and even if the centaur Great Khan knocked a large hole open, it would not collapse, and the wood and dirt would fall down to form an obstacle.

The Centaur Great Khan rushed into the camp with a dense barrage of crossbow arrows, and the garrison on the fence saw that the military heavy crossbows were ineffective against him, so they turned around and shot the centaurs outside. Due to the obstacles and human archers, the centaurs were unable to enter the inside of the camp through the breach. They had to clear the obstacles first, so the centaurs crushed the human soldiers on the wall with spears and bows and arrows, forcing them to the fence on the other side.

This wall is densely packed with feathered arrows and javelins...... Centaurs consume a lot of weapons, and that's what Roland is waiting for!

The centaurs cleared the obstacles, entered the barracks and began to carry food supplies. At this time, the ferocious centaurs sensed that Roland's cavalry was approaching, and they organized thousands of centaurs to confront the human cavalry from afar, increasing their speed and plundering supplies.

But why didn't the Centaur Great Khan lead the troops to be on guard? If it was outside the camp, the main reinforcements of Gombis would not have died so many people!

"Go in and have a look. ”

Victor stepped through the breach into the barracks and walked to the fence on the opposite side. There were also more than twenty crossbow batteries here, which were basically destroyed.

At that time, the garrison of Maverick Village abandoned the fence to the northeast and concentrated on the southwest side, condescendingly, shooting desperately at the centaur bandits inside the camp. The centaurs were running out of feathered arrows, and the ferocious centaur commander teamed up with the Great Khan to shoot the human archers on the wall, preventing them from attacking the ordinary centaur warriors who carried the grain.

The garrison held back most of the strongest of the centaurs, giving the Gambis cavalry a chance to take advantage of it.

This is also in Roland's grasp!

Victor noticed something unusual on the ground, and he walked over and picked up a handful of fine dust from the ground. Viscount Alex sighed beside him: "This is the battle mark left by Count Fort and Viscount Gilles, their Mithril sword slashed on the body of the legendary centaur, but the Void Earth element acted on the ground, the earth was shaken into powder, and the centaur Great Khan was unharmed. The two lords entangled the legendary orc for a while, and finally fell under its fist. ”

"The Legendary-level centaurs are indeed difficult to match, and hand-to-hand combat would have been unfavorable to it, but Count Fort and Viscount Gilles both made small mistakes and were hit head-on by the Centaur Great Khan. When I fought the Centaur Great Khan, I also miscalculated, and later learned that the Centaur Great Khan had the Orc Psychic Touch. Viscount Esker frowned and sighed: "Fortunately, more than 20 secret law guards in the centaur hills desperately intercepted and dragged the centaur Great Khan, and they never let go of the shock and vomited blood, but we took the opportunity to slash it a few more swords, but unfortunately it had no effect." ”

Their heroic feats inspired the soldiers, and they almost buried the centaurs. ”

The more than 20 secret guardians were, of course, the third-level Gripen militia that Victor assigned to the family's grand knights. The Centaur Great Khan's Psychic Touch doesn't work against alchemy creatures, it doesn't count as running, and if you fight in place, the Gripen Militia can really hammer it if there are enough of them.

Victor didn't want to mention the "heroic tenacity" of the Alchemy Militia anymore, and instead asked, "Both Foret and Gilis singled out the legendary centaurs?"

"We can't intervene in the life and death trials of high-level knights, and soldiers who are close to the battle circle may be shocked to death on the spot by the Void Earth element. Tellandon explained.

Victor nodded and asked, "What is Roland doing?"

"Her Royal Highness did her best to kill and wound the other ferocious centaurs, and led the soldiers to squeeze the centaur army to the south. She slashed a golden-tier centaur in her hand. Eskerry replied.

Victor pointed to a piece of white frost not far away and asked, "Are there any traces of the battle left by Roland?"

"The eldest princess did not fight the Centaur Great Khan, and that was the trace of Her Highness Orokthea's battle with the legendary orcs. Count Terrandon paused and said in a low voice: "The Duchess of Barcelius is beyond imagination, she is probably the number one golden knight today. The Centaur Great Khan was defeated by her, and he was no match at all. Moreover, we are sure that Her Highness Orokthea touched the Legendary Rank during the battle. After the battle, Duke Baselius did not pursue the fleeing centaurs, he returned to the fortress with the Duchess, and he must have guarded Orokxia and stabilized her realm. ”

"The human kingdom has one more legendary highness. ”

Victor was stunned, turned his head and said, "You can sense the Void Water Elemental Disturbance of the Legendary Rank, let alone Roland. She is stimulated by Oroxia...... And then go after the centaur Great Khan?"

Alex smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, you know Princess Roland, we can't persuade her." ”

In this battle, Roland was the main anti-guest, occupying the time, place, and people, and the centaurs were all over the ground looking for teeth, and in the end, it was Orokxia who ascended to the throne of the legendary level.

Fate is even more elusive than Roland's.

After all, Orokxia is the direct bloodline of the Divine Knight, and Sylvia is afraid of her, so she specially tells Victor not to hook up with the other party.

It seems like...... Seem...... It's also normal for her to be promoted to the legendary rank of Knight of the Raging Waves.

Seeing that Victor was thoughtful, Tellandon immediately worried that he was interested in Oroxia, after all, female knights who could reproduce with the sun elves were extremely rare. This attraction is deeply rooted in the veins of higher life. The more powerful the transcendent life, the more difficult it is to have children, and the extra importance is placed on spouses and offspring. Dragons and manticores are like this, and the Sun Elves are no exception.

"Your Highness, we have gained a lot on our side, I have leveraged the Elemental Sea, and I believe that I will soon be able to become a half-golden Earth Knight. Turlandon tried to distract Victor and said, "There is also a veteran knight in Cambis who has rushed to the silver realm, and more than a dozen apprentice knights have achieved the bronze rank. They and Lady Charlotte Randall returned to Duncan Fort to secure their position. Would you like to go and see them?"

Victor only thought it was funny, as the master of the heart, he overcame the shortcomings in his bloodline. He was thinking about another question.

The Centaur Great Khan only had a few hundred centaurs around him, and this number did not require much food supply. They could run as far east as the eastern part of the Sidon Khanate. With the psychic instincts of the legendary centaurs, few people can stop them.

Why do legendary centaurs still run south?

The greater the number of groups, the greater the oppression of individuals. Roland took advantage of this, cramming thousands of centaurs into a small space, making it difficult for the Centaur Great Khan to exert his full strength. Now, with only a handful of elites left around the Centaur Great Khan, its abilities have been completely unleashed.

Regardless of why it chose the south side as the direction of its breakout, the Golden Knight chasing after it risked falling. The Earth Knight can't catch up with the legendary centaur, and Roland is a gold-level Raging Rider with both strength and speed, she can catch up with the centaur and is in an extremely dangerous situation.

Victor looked around at the big knights around him and muttered in his heart: A group of short legs, it won't work at this time.

"Her Royal Highness Princess August is simply the god of war. The Golden-Eyed Count commented.

The Silver Knights nodded their heads one after another, all with expressions of approval.

Victor coughed lightly and said, "I'm going to fetch the goddess of war from Gombis...... Caligula comes with me. Nelson, you and your family guards assist Miss Gillian Chebman, and then return to Duncan Fortress together. Tell Charlotte that you don't have to wait for me, you can go back to Pinghu Town. ”

Nelson got down on one knee and said in a low voice, "My lord, I want to go with you to chase the centaurs. ”

His attitude is sincere and unshakable. Victor was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, let's go find Princess Roland August together." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, pack up the pieces and wait for the kingdom's orders at Duncan Fortress. Victor turned and said. The implication was that the Cambes reinforcements were no longer involved in the fighting.

The Grand Knight of Cambis knightly saluted the Guardian and said in unison, "Your Highness, may the enemy be bloodied by your sword. ”
