Chapter 4 Array, Battle
As a human traitor, Dennis still has some work ethic. He knew that from the moment he betrayed his master, Attenbona the Apocalypse, there was no room for him among the human race, and his fate was completely tied to his new master, Baroque!
In order to curry favor with his new master, Dennis naturally did not hide Attenbona's treasures. The Baroque was very interested...... Not to the gold coins and jewels, but to hear Dennis mention that Attenbona had a habit of keeping a diary, and that some secret meetings and secrets within the Holy See would be recorded. Although Dennis did not see the contents of the diaries, he was aware of their existence.
Dennis disappeared for so long that he was sent by the Baroque to find the treasure of Atembona.
This small country is in the northeastern corner of the mainland, and Dennis has made the long journey back to the country temple and sneaked into it at night. He was so familiar with the place that he could find the clergy almost with his eyes closed, and he had to kill them for the sake of secrecy.
Lifting the floor of the temple and entering the basement, Baroque gave Dennis Attenbona's Apocalypse Staff and Storage Ring, so the defensive circle was difficult for Dennis. It's a breeze to enter and pack the huge amount of gold and gems into a storage ring. Several parchment diaries were found from the hidden place and put away together. After making sure that nothing was missed, he set fire to the temple and quietly left.
By the time of the Odria Empire, Commander Roxana had already led a large army into the steppe. Originally, Dennis was able to quietly return to the northern tundra, and no one could stop a Skyscanner from infiltrating the breeding grounds. However, when he passed through a small town, he saw the camp of the elite legions of the Holy See. Dennis suddenly discovered. Maybe I can find out a little bit about it............ After all, even if Audria the second prince Bukred took refuge with his Baroque masters, the information he provided would only be about the Odria Imperial Army. He could not yet find out about the affairs of the Holy See. Dennis, on the other hand, was born in the Holy See and was able to see many things from a few simple clues.
So Dennis lingered on the outskirts of the camp of the elite legion of the Holy See for a while, and when he suddenly saw those guys wrapped in black, with a deadly danger and cold aura, he immediately realized something. Hurry away and return to the grassland of the horse farm. .................. Dividing line ............
Whether it's Baroque or Roxana. All of them invariably chose the open area to line up. After all, flat terrain is beneficial to either side, but the result will undoubtedly make the battle extremely brutal.
Large-scale battles on the continent of Sauron. It's very different from the ones on Earth. The famous battles of the countries of the world in the past generations on the earth did not help at all, and they were based on the so-called tactical strategy...... The Baroque gave up on those unrealistic fantasies early on - there were no magical armies on earth, and there were no shamanic ......!
The armies of humans and orcs finally encountered, and they were separated by more than ten miles. Each is preparing for the big war. So close distances. In addition, each has scouts who can fly into the sky, making any tactics such as sneak attacks useless, and only head-on battles will determine the winner.
In addition to the 20,000 troops in the rear, Baroque piled up all 80,000 troops, and the 10,000 troops under his command were at the forefront. Roxana, on the opposite side, also ranked the most elite [Storm Legion] in his hand at the forefront, and found that the orcs actually piled up most of the legions, and he immediately made a wise arrangement, and the six legions directly pressed on it. The first battle is important. It's about morale and morale, and no one wants to make mistakes.
The battlefield seems a little small. Although the two sides are doing their best, they will never attack in a swarm at the first contact, and there will always be several contact battles. Test each other's strengths and weaknesses before launching targeted attacks.
As soon as he came up, the king met the king, which neither Baroque nor Roxana expected. Baroque wanted to lead the First Legion in the first game and try to win to boost morale...... After all, the orcs have lost count of how many years they have not dared to confront humans head-on, and they will always be a little timid. If you lose the first game, it will have a very bad impact and put a lot of pressure on the orc warriors. Even if it can't be held up in the end, a collapse is not impossible.
And Roxana is trying to wash away the shame of last year's Crown Bucks defeat. He was certainly an excellent commander and had a high prestige in the army. But after all, he was the first legion commander to be defeated head-on by the orcs in hundreds of years, and if such a shame could not be washed away, he always felt that others looked at him differently.
Muru presided over the Chinese army's press, assisted by Brendan and Parisia. Both Baroque and Old Siro were in the First Legion, and a hundred battle sacrifices were all in place, and each person's totem pole was carried by two orc men. If you want to win, it's up to the shamans. In order to protect their safety, the Baroque gathered thirty beastly armored warriors to hide in the 10,000 team, and if the situation was unfavorable, they would protect the battle shamans from retreating as soon as possible.
The orcs are preparing, and Roxana is not relaxed, the Storm Legion has the most elite veterans among all the legions, and the fighting warriors account for sixty percent, and their battle array is also the most perfect. There are six squads of mages hiding in it, and there are even two strategic magical crossbows............ I have to say that Roxana also made a bloody investment, and it was necessary to ensure that the first battle was won.
The orc armies began to move, the home team was slow, and the First Legion was the first to emerge, they were well armored and not inferior to the humans. The steps are neat, with metal spears at the front and long rows of battle axes or heavy swords in the back. The weapons created by the gray dwarves finally shined, and the humans on the opposite side were terrified............ Could it be that the orcs have collected the entire tribe's metal weapons into this legion in front of them?
Roxana's expression was serious, he knew some inside information. Paladin Georgia returned from Hansa with a heavy blow, and the news about the gray dwarves brought back was obviously true, otherwise how could the orcs have so many sophisticated weapons and armor? Of course, Roxana was not afraid, he had faith in his legion. issued the order, and the Storm Legion also took steps towards the orcs, elite and neat, not losing a single cent to the orcs!
They invariably abandoned the cavalry, and instead engaged the infantry. When the two sides were half a mile apart, the human legions began to form battle formations, changing formations, with hundreds of people as the smallest unit, forming small battle formations, and then combining into a huge military formation like a war fortress, crushing the orcs.
Not to be outdone, the Baroque issued an order, and the hungry wolf battle array was immediately set up, and the battle shamans hiding in it quickly divided into teams of six people under the command of the Great Priest of Sira, and the shaman ritual link circle evolved from the star totem array protected the entire legion. If it was at night, people would see that the entire team of 10,000 people had been shrouded in a small six-pointed star array.
The front row was encountered, and the orcs and humans threw large swaths of spears at each other. It's a pity that both humans and orcs don't pay much attention to bows and arrows, or it takes a long time to train an archer, whether it's Baroque or Roxana, they can't afford to wait, otherwise if a group of archers come at this time, they can casually shoot armor-piercing arrows with strong penetrating power into the sky, and they can cause heavy damage to the other party.
Spear throwing is mostly blocked by tower shields, and the damage it can do is limited. Whether it was orcs or humans, they only lost a dozen people, and it didn't matter.
After the temptation, the distance between the two sides was less than ten steps, and the human mage attacked first, with large ice arrows, tornadoes, fireballs, and ground stabs...... Towards the orc army. This was followed by the attack of the human warriors, and the battle formation was one, like a snowball, and they already had a very tacit understanding with each other, leaving no room for the orcs. ...... Baroque observed it up close, and finally congratulated himself on discovering it in time, the human military formation was not at all comparable to the [Hungry Wolf Military Formation] that his three-legged cat kung fu had drummed up. If you still rely on the Hungry Wolf Army at this time, you will definitely collapse under this first impact.
The Captain of the Storm Legion also unexpectedly discovered that it did not appear as expected. The resistance of the orcs is extremely tenacious, and their battle formation is still very rudimentary, and it is common sense that they cannot resist the attack of the Storm Legion's [Furious Thunder Strike Array]. But it was blocked at the first contact, like a spring, and after being strongly suppressed, it faintly rebounded backwards.
The captain of the Storm Legion was keenly aware for the first time that there was a weak layer of light shrouded in the orc army opposite, and it was that layer of light that protected the orcs and supported them.
Smiled coldly...... The Captain of the Storm Legion gave the order, slightly changed the battle formation, and suddenly strengthened the offensive. This time, the orcs couldn't resist it, and their middle column quickly collapsed and retreated, and the Storm Legion's attack plunged straight into it like a sharp sword.
Baroque clenched his fists fiercely...... It seems that no matter how cautious humans are, they can't get rid of their contempt for orcs. He showed weakness to the enemy, and the slightest flaw was lured, and the enemy took the bait.
The middle column was indeed routed, and hundreds of orcs were killed and wounded in an instant. The Baroque is indifferent and unmoved, if you want to lure the enemy, you always have to pay some price, otherwise who will take the bait? Seeing the impact of the sword of the Storm Legion, the arrow has penetrated deeply, almost penetrating the front army of the 10,000th Orc Troop. It is less than ten meters from the central location where the Baroque is located. Baroque could see the excited and cruel expressions of the human soldiers, and they swung their heavy swords in unison, slashing the invincible orcs and closing in on Baroque...... He was so obvious that the human soldiers realized that if they killed this orc shaman, the entire legion would collapse in no time.
Roxana frowned, he felt that something was wrong, it was too smooth! Even if a large number of orcs were killed, he always had some bad feelings, orcs shouldn't be the only one!
At this moment, a continuous abnormal aura suddenly erupted from the orc legion, as if someone was urging the abnormal power. That power was familiar to him...... It's the power of the orc shaman!
Sure enough, Roxana hurriedly ordered people to issue an order for the Storm Legion to stop the offensive and strengthen the defense. It's a pity that it's too late, as Baroque screams angrily, he slams the totem pole in his hand to the ground, and the dull impact sound is like hitting people's hearts!
In an instant, Bai Mang's masterpiece and the star link magic circle exerted its power, and the orcs, who were still retreating just now, under the leadership of the beast armored warriors hidden in it, roared like a different person, and launched a counterattack against the human ......! )
