Chapter Twenty-Three: Stitch
After leaving the city, Richard and the others rushed all the way back to the temporary camp. As soon as he entered, he shouted, "Everyone, get up, I want to see you ready for battle in ten minutes, and then there will be a battle!"
Medium cooked came out from behind the tent, still smelling of broth. He waved the spoon in his hand and asked eagerly, "Boss, how are you going to fight this battle?"
Richard walked quickly past him, tapped the ogre's stomach with his hand, and said, "Put on your thickest armor, and get your hammer ready, and then it's a positional battle!"
With a happy face, he thumped his chest vigorously and said, "Boss, I'll smash them all into meatloaf!" The ogre warrior hates mobile warfare the most, because the armor that weighs hundreds of kilograms affects his speed. In positional warfare, an Ogre with a heavily armored hammer and buff status is equivalent to an Apocalypse Tank.
"Be prepared, this time the enemy is cavalry. You guys go and sharpen one end of those stakes and bury them in the ground, and the tips will be outward, and you can bury one every five meters!" Richard walked around the camp, blasting the soldiers one by one.
There was a moment of confusion, but hundreds of stakes facing the city soon appeared around the camp. The seasoned foot knights had already led the orcs to the nearby woods to chop some wood, but before they could turn into a fence on the outskirts of the camp, they had been put to other use.
Richard had twenty-five knights, including ten infantry knights, ten puppet knights and five knights, and their weakest was also level ten, and their combat effectiveness could not be ignored. The knights were divided into two teams and stood guard on either side of the camp, and the team consisting of the Infantry Knights and the Knights of the Knights was also equipped with several tusks. In addition, Richard assigned ten Wind Fangs to the ranks of orc warriors. He organized the orc warriors into ten squads of five, each with a fang. The simple thing for the warriors to do is follow the fangs and attack the same target as it.
In this way, Richard can better command orc warriors, as he can control Wind Fang in his consciousness.
Soon after, the ground began to shake, and from the other side of the city came the sound of horses' hooves and shouts. Several nearby camps were alarmed, and the guards grabbed their weapons and looked nervously. Some smart people lit a few more torches under the banner of identification, so as not to be accidentally injured in the night.
A fierce cavalry rushed out of the city and headed straight for Richard's camp. The number of this cavalry was about eighty, and the leader was a tall black-armored knight, who was one of the most powerful figures in the Blue Water Oasis, the "two-headed dragon" Snick.
Stitch's own strength is level fourteen, and there are fifteen captains under him, and most of these people's strength is around level twelve. In addition to this, Stitch had more than 200 cavalry and more than 400 infantry under his command.
This time, Sticker brought out less than half of the total number of cavalry, which was the largest force he could gather in a short period of time. And his lair is still in the city, and it is impossible to drain all the warriors.
A winding dragon was scurrying out of the city, it was Stitch's infantry, numbering about two hundred. However, the distance between Richard's camp and the city was five kilometers long, and by the time the infantry entered the battlefield, the battle on this side would have been over.
Although Richard's followers were not afraid of night fighting, the human knights and orc warriors did not have this ability, so he did not extinguish the torches in the camp. So, the half-buried stakes were also illuminated.
Seeing the obstacle in front of the camp, Stitch didn't rush to charge, he reined in the war horse with the blood of the monster under him, and then raised his right hand. The cavalry quickly moved to the left and right, forming a long serpent formation.
Stitch's eyes widened, and he shouted coldly at Richard: "Little ghost, tell me where you come from! If your father is rich enough, and you yourself honestly give up resisting, I will only cut off your hands and feet, and let your son redeem you!"
Richard laughed a few times, pointed to Stitch's nose and said, "What are you to dare to say such things to me? Putting aside my family for the time being, with my current age and mage level, you don't have to think about it, if you provoke me, will my teacher let you go? Don't think that the bloodstained land is very big!"
Stitch's face changed, and he realized the seriousness of the matter. No matter how you look at it, Richard's age will not exceed twenty years old, and such a young ninth-level mage is a figure of great attention in any empire. It can be seen that Richard's teacher will at least be a great mage, and it may even have something to do with the legendary powerhouse.
The power of an archmage can't sweep across the bloodstained land, but he can just take out a bounty of 10,000 gold coins to make Stitch have no way out here.
Hearing Richard's words, the cavalry behind Stitch wavered. The distance between the Blue Water Oasis and the Human Kingdom is not that far, and no one wants to provoke an archmage without a special reason.
Just when Stitch hesitated, Richard lightly pressed the last weight: "If you know that you are afraid, leave your hands and all the war horses, and get out!"
Stitch's face changed for a moment, and then he said with a sinister smile: "The little cub who has not grown all the hair, dare to threaten me? No matter who your teacher is, I will kill you first today! After that, you don't have to worry about how big the bloodstained land is." Kill me, little ones!!"
With Stitch's roar, forty horsemen left their camp and circled Richard's knights on either flank. Stitch himself led the rest of the cavalry through the stakes and slaughtered Richard's ranks.
At this time, Reilly, who had been chanting the spell since Stitch appeared, also completed the spell, he stretched out his hands to the front, and said loudly: "Ultra Magic: Spell Spread!"
A green glow enveloped the entire battlefield, and the strength of Stitch and the captains each dropped by thirty percent, and the strength of those cavalry dropped by a full fifty percent!
This widespread curse of weakness made everyone's faces change, and Richard looked at Reilly in horror and asked, "What kind of spell is this?"
"Can't even recognize the Curse of Weakness?" Reilly gasped and said, "I used seventy percent of my mana to attach a spell spread supermagic effect to it. So, the rest of the battle is up to you. ”
Richard nodded, and once again focused on the battlefield.
Stitch swung a jet-black axe and headed straight at Richard. The splash stood in front again, howling like a wolf. As a result, more than a dozen horses that followed Stitch through the obstacle were frightened, and half of the cavalry was thrown out. However, Stitch's horse was a magic horse and was not affected by the girlish aura, so he rushed to Richard first.
The Minotaur and Santau roared at them, each knocking a horse into the air along with the cavalry captain on their backs, and then swung their hammers and tomahawks at the nearby horses.
A knight captain swung his hammer and slammed it into the three-quarters with a roar. The ogre did not dodge or dodge, wielding a heavy hammer and hitting the chest of the war horse, which was completely a hard-hitting posture.
Knock!
The two heavy weapons hit the target at the same time, and the three-minute acquaintance screamed in pain and took a few steps back, and the war horse fell to his knees and shook off the knight on his back.
On the other side, the Minotaur also used an injury-for-injury style to overturn a Knight captain. These men wore heavy full-body plate armor, and after losing their horses to share the weight, their combat effectiveness quickly declined.
Two powerful healing spells fell on the three quarters and the Minotaur respectively, and the ogre and the minotaur roared excitedly and began to attack the fallen knight.
Gonder swung his weapon to meet Stitch, and the two axes collided violently in the air! Stitch's colt screamed and took a few steps back, nearly falling.
On the other side, Gangde also spewed out a mouthful of blood mist and sat down on the ground. His big axe had already made a big hole, and if he fought Stitch again, it would definitely break.
A wisp of blood flowed from Sticker's mouth, and he glared at Reilly viciously, almost spewing fire from his eyes! If it weren't for this magician's curse, how could he lose in strength to a warrior of a rank lower than his own?
At this time, a holy light suddenly fell on Gangde's body, it was a powerful healing technique of quicksand!
Gonder leapt from the ground and rushed at Stitch with his axe. Although he was injured, his aura was constantly getting stronger, and this big man actually advanced in the fierce battle!
Due to the existence of quicksand, the combat effectiveness of Richard's team has been raised by a whole notch.
"How can there be a priest!" Stitch's face changed drastically, and he mustered all his fighting energy to repel Gonde, and then searched for the position of the priest in Richard's ranks. In warfare, both mages and clerics are the first targets to be killed.
Suddenly, a tingling sensation came from his calves, and without thinking, Stitch picked up his axe and slashed at his side, knocking a girl in a trench coat into the air.
Gore flew some distance with the force from the dagger, then flipped in the air and landed firmly on the ground.
At this time, Gangde pounced from behind again, and Stitch, who was able to suppress him steadily, looked a little struggling this time. Gore's dagger was enchanted with a paralyzing effect, and after she stabbed him, Stitch's left leg was incapacitated.
