The Roland Empire lasted nine hundred and sixty-five years. August 4.

On this morning, the soldiers who were waiting on the walls of Kaspersky's main fortress finally saw the enemy who had been waiting for a long time!

By the rising sun, above the northern horizon. There was a trail of black pressing.

The beginning is a black line. With a slow movement comes. The black line turned into a black cloud like an ant.

On top of the city walls, soldiers could hear movement in the wind. The sound of heavy footsteps trampling the ground, the clanging sound of weapons and armor clashing as the enemy walked, and the thick breathing...... Tens of thousands of enemies are moving with the wind! Looking away from the city wall, the black pressure on a large area of the enemy, like a black torrent, pressed along the flat plains of the north, towards the Kaspersky Line.

Swords and guns are like a forest, and iron armor is like a cloud!

Although it was August, the climate in the north was still not warm, especially when tens of thousands of orcs marched, the white gas breathed by tens of thousands of orcs seemed to be clearly visible. And then. To the horror of the soldiers on the city wall, the front row of the orcs was in the queue. At the front of each huge phalanx was a tall monster they had never seen before!

The monster was more than five or six meters tall by the eye, and it was huge and strong, like a giant bear. The body is also covered with giant-like subway armor. It looks very rough, but it is full of hardness.

And the necks of these behemoths. Also with a thick subway chain. Each behemoth also has a huge hexagonal hammer hanging from its waist!

As they walked, their huge bodies, step by step, trampled on the earth, making a heavy thumping thump! Each of the behemoths was holding a giant drum. Walk on one side. Hold a wooden stick high on one side and beat it vigorously. A peculiar rhythm is formed!

And the army of tens of thousands of orcs marched slowly according to the rhythm of the drum. Drive all the way to the Kaspersky Line!

With a distance of about a kilometer in front of the trench beneath the walls, the orcs finally stopped.

On top of the city walls, the officers held binoculars procured from the northwest and looked nervously at the enemies in front of them.

Sure enough, the scout sent back the same news! It was a monster that no one had ever seen before! They were like humans growing on the head of a human being, but they were stronger and burly than humans, with fangs. Bloody gulps. Covered in fur, but armed with weapons and armor......

When the orc army finally stopped, a huge banner was raised from their ranks.

From the point of view of human civilization, the flag is so rudimentary that it borders on ridiculousness. It's like a huge hide. Moreover, the surface hair of the animal skin has all fallen off, and it is probably a messy pattern with blood that cannot be read by humans.

Just after the human officer saw the flag, he was about to make a casual joke. It's time to ease the tension of the soldiers around you......

When the banner was raised, it was as if the tens of thousands of orcs had received some great encouragement. Suddenly, the orcs all raised their weapons and let out a roar that soared into the sky!

As you can imagine. It's as if tens of thousands of beasts howled at the same time. The movement and sound suddenly changed the faces of many human soldiers on the city wall.

All beasts howled. The wind and clouds have changed!

"Make way for the General!"

With a majestic shout from behind, a group of people came up from behind the city wall, and the soldiers on the wall pushed them to both sides.

There are many generals in the Storm Legion. Surrounded by their commander, General Rostock. Walked up the city walls.

The supreme commander of the Empire's northern defense line stood by the city walls. Stomp on the wall. Coldly looking into the distance. He took a telescope from the entourage next to him and looked at it for a while.

"There aren't many of them. General Rostock said coldly.

"Yes, my lord, it looks like there should be no more than twenty thousand. A division commander immediately replied.

"Hmph. They're not 'people', I think they're '20,000'!" A mighty general deliberately laughed out loud. His voice was heard far away. With incomparable self-confidence, many soldiers who were afraid suddenly relaxed.

"Rochenthal, don't underestimate the enemy. Rostock glanced at the subordinate who laughed out loud...... The general looked to be about thirty years old, with a majestic posture, a square face, sharp edges, thick eyebrows and big eyes. The beard on the face is not shaved clean. There is still a faint green stubble, and. His physiognomy was six or seven points similar to that of General Rostock.

"Yes...... Father. The general, named Rochenthal, immediately replied in a low voice, and he glanced at the distance a few times, and there was a bit of a leap in his eyes.

"Call me sir. Rostock looked serious: "Remember your identity!

The surrounding crowd looked at the father and son. No one plugged. The harshness and impartiality of the old general, everyone knows.

Rostock stands on top of the city walls. He squinted into the distance.

At this time, tens of thousands of troops in the orc land had already dispersed, and they left a phalanx in the front row, which quickly pulled apart, forming a human wall.

Behind, the orc armies began to work quickly, bringing in a large amount of wood from the rear and setting up camp in the distance......

"It's just pioneering. They look like they're going to set up camp here. Rostock sneered.

"Message came from General Andrey's airship. Visually there were no reinforcements near their rear! Obviously, this was their vanguard. A subordinate general said, "Hmph, it seems that these monsters can also fight." ”

"Clever than Warcraft. Rostock snorted, and he looked into the distance.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the orcs had erected a rough wooden wall, and the orcs were strong and very good laborers. The sound of ping-pong in the back is endless. Large quantities of timber were brought up.

"Father...... My lord!" Rochenthal immediately exclaimed, "My lord, this is their spearhead. It was to set up camp and to take forward positions. I see, now. Let's send people out for a while. Kill them with a lot of spirit!if you're lucky. Maybe we can eat them all in one bite!"

"There are 20,000 of them. Another general also said, "But it seems that half of them are working as sappers, and they are camping so swaggering in front of us." It's so unthinkable for us!"

"It's not easy to eat. Rostock decided: "Since we have strong walls and fortifications, we do not need to waste the lives and blood of our soldiers in field battles with them." ”

He said this. Immediately made his son Rochenthal look disappointed.

However, the old general changed his words: "But, watching them camp, we will do nothing." It's too weak, it's going to hurt our morale! I need someone to take someone out and fight them. Not too much. See the long formation they put in the front line, which is the battle line they use to defend against our attack, send out a cavalry battalion. Let's teach them a lesson. ”

"Send me, sir!" At the same time, four or five generals shouted for battle.

Rostock turned his eyes around the faces of the people, especially his son, Rochenthal looked excited and expectant.

"There can be no delay. Don't be greedy, I'm not going to eat 20,000 people in one bite. Just give them a little bit of power. What's more. What I need is to test their field combat effectiveness! to see how strong they really are...... I need someone who is smart, not someone who doesn't know how to advance or retreat when his brain is hot. ”

The old general's eyes deliberately leaked his son, and he said these words slowly.

Rochenthal was in a hurry. He squeezed two steps forward: "I'll go!" I'm not going to do it impulsively!"

"Miro!" The old general gave a name, and an officer about forty years old walked up from behind: "My lord!"

"There you go. With a cavalry battalion, 3,000 cavalry is enough, remember, I'm just going to test the fighting power of these enemies! You're welcome, but be careful!"

The officer named Mirodi looked excited, and immediately saluted and turned to leave. Luo Chental, who was on the side, sighed helplessly and looked at his father aggrievedly.

"Look closely, boy. You are too fierce and too impulsive. What I want now is to get the accuracy of the enemy's combat effectiveness. You are a brave general. But not with a brain!"

With the order, the gates on three sides of Kaspersky's front main game were opened at the same time. A battalion of Stormwind ground cavalry emerged from among the three gates.

In the midst of numerous trenches. A passage was also left, and the three thousand troops were quickly assembled under the city.

Stormwind Legion's ground cavalry. He raised his sharp spear in his hand. With a shout. Three thousand cavalrymen burst out into a voice: "Fight for Roland!!"

Tens of thousands of defenders on the city walls also responded to the cry. In the midst of the boil, the horses' hooves trampled!

The Empire's most jīng sharp Storm Legion subway ride. Soon it galloped, like a torrent, and rushed fiercely towards the long formation where the orc clan was at the front!

The horses' hooves trampled the ground and the dust was flying, and the heavy metro armor on the cavalry made a crisp crashing sound.

Dusty, a thousand steps, a hundred steps...... The cavalrymen lowered their bodies and clinged to their horses, their spears pointed horizontally forward. It's like a forest of edges!

Thousands of voices shouted together!

The phalanx placed at the front of the orcs quickly gathered. And those orc soldiers. Quickly took down the huge iron shield that had been carrying it behind him! Each iron shield was nearly two meters high!

Thousands of iron shields were fiercely inserted into the ground, and the orcs had tremendous strength. Enough to plunge these iron shields into the hard, frozen ground!

Then, the orc soldiers in the back huddled together. A long row of iron shields, glowing with a cold luster of metal in the sun, is like an iron wall!

Rumble!!

The torrent of cavalry finally hit the iron wall head-on!

The cavalry of the empire was at the forefront, after smashing hard against the iron wall. Suddenly, a bloody spark of fire erupted! The cavalry at the forefront tried to break through the opponent's iron wall with the help of horsepower. But less than half of the cavalry managed to break through!

Those orcs are strong, although they are infantry, but the average height of each orc is more than two meters, and those who are stronger. Even standing there, they were almost as tall as horsemen on horseback! plus they were as powerful as their mighty beasts. Although it was a galloping horse, with the help of the power of the war horse. The first wave of Imperial cavalry. Knock through that iron wall. But it immediately paid more than 100 losses!

After the ground shield wall was knocked open. The Imperial Cavalry had just burst in. found a helpless status quo...... These enemies are so tall!

If it's human cavalry against human infantry. As long as you break through the front fortifications of the opponent's ground. Then the cavalry charged, even by ramming and trampling. It can also cause a lot of damage to enemies, but these enemies. They stand on the ground at a height no lower than a horse. Some land is even higher!

The cavalry who broke through the shield wall had just broken through a gap, and after rushing in, what was waiting for them was the ruthless blade of the orcs!

The first wave of charge. The cavalry at the forefront suddenly looked at the feathers on their backs!

But. As the most sharp northern battle legion in the empire. The cavalry of the Stormwind Legion was not lacking in courage and loyalty! Despite the screams, the cavalry behind them remained unafraid. With the courage to die. Rushed forward one after another!

Soon, the shield wall that had been connected was broken through everywhere, and the main body of the cavalry even rushed out of a huge gap in the iron wall! The cavalry behind rushed into it quickly. The cavalrymen stabbed the spears of their spears at the huge monsters around them, and the opponents were huge. But it also benefits the cavalry who sit on the horse and assassinate, because they hardly need to observe, and although the opponent's huge body has strong strength, it is relatively bulky!

Finally. Although the orcs are strong, they use infantry against human cavalry. Their defenses are starting to crumble.

It's just that the speed of the cavalry charge has been completely reduced. Broke through the enemy's shield wall and landed human cavalry. But it was as if they were stuck in a quagmire! All around were crowded with people, and people were oppressing. The horsepower simply can't be used!

Cavalry charged. Turned into a strangulation battle!

Orc combat power. Far beyond the imagination of human soldiers! Often they stabbed out the spears with all their might. Pierced on the orc's body. But you can't immediately make the opponent lose their combat effectiveness!

More orcs showed a strength that made humans helpless! Some orc warriors even had several spears in their bodies. He has a few spears stuck in his body, but he can still roar and cut through the spearmen. Then pounce directly with their massive bodies. Pounce the cavalry off their horses!

"Draw your sword!! Draw your sword!! Kill them !!"

Miro, the general who led the army, was already covered in blood. The blood on the armor is no longer able to tell whether it is your own land or your opponent's!

He soon realized that the situation was tangled, and the cavalryman's spear could not be wielded, and he had already grabbed his cross sword. This general is a mid-level knight. The long sword has erupted with a fighting light!

With a single sword, he split the head of an orc in front of him in half. Shouting-u

The cavalrymen also gave up their spears in their hands. Grabbed the cross sword and fought hand-to-hand with the other orc! Blood light everywhere!!

The human cavalry was caught in a bitter battle, because the armor of the orcs was very hard and thick! Because they had an innate constitution, the kind of subway armor that weighed tens or even hundreds of kilograms was worn on their bodies. But it doesn't diminish their combat power in the slightest!

Compared to humans, orc terrestrial armor is crude. But it's very thick!!

Many Roland soldiers found that they had fought desperately to cut down each other. But he couldn't break through the opponent's hard armor, but he was stunned. The other party has already cut off the head of a human soldier with his backhand!

And humans. But he couldn't wear that level of thick armor. These cavalry were not really heavy cavalry either, and their armor weighed only about twenty kilograms. It's just that it has been thickened and thickened in some vital areas......

But these orcs have great power. They slashed down. You can even slash the armor of a human soldier into a hollow!

There are also orcs with weapons that are sledgehammers, even if the armor on your chest is thicker. But it can also directly sink your chest into the ground!

More and more cavalry were knocked off their horses.

Distance. On top of the city walls was General Rostock, whose face sank like water! Luo Chenthal, who was confident just now, also showed a shocked expression!

The frontal charge of the cavalry against the infantry!!

This is a frontal charge of cavalry against infantry!! And the forces of both sides are almost equal !!

With the vast majority of human warfare in the past. With almost equal forces, once the cavalry rushed to the front of the infantry ranks, it was a massacre!

But these orc monsters. But they use their super strength to defend their quality, and use their flesh and blood. The frontal stubbornly blocked the frontal charge of 3,000 cavalry!!

With the help of horsepower, the human beings barely broke through the opponent's array, but they couldn't penetrate it!

Finally, in the battle of the human cavalry. The orcs began to slowly retreat. The cavalry in the rear kept rushing forward, and more and more cavalry rushed in through the gap. It's like waves after waves, slapping the opponent's ground alum fiercely.

View from the city walls. The orc array began to be pressed thicker and thicker, more and more scattered, and then moved back without stopping.

But every time the cavalry advanced. They all paid the price of a great deal of blood!

Finally, the leader of the army, Dimiro, slashed down the last orc in front of him with a sword. There were no living enemies around him.

And the orc warriors. Retreating massively, they all ran backwards, and Miró was about to shout for kill. But he glanced around. Suddenly, my eyes went black!

around him. There are almost no soldiers left who can stand on the ground properly!

Whoever rushed into the orc array of the Roland Empire soldiers. Most of them were knocked off their horses.

And although these orcs retreated, they were not in a big mess, Miro had many colors on his body, and his war horse had already been killed. His sword had also been deformed after a few collisions with an orc warrior Subway Hammer.

The orc soldiers stepped back. And that has been erected behind the wooden wall. A group of orc soldiers marched out.

I looked around. I'm afraid that only half of the three thousand cavalry have left, and Miro gritted his teeth fiercely: "Retreat!"

This is the first time in 10,000 years that a human army has fought a large-scale field battle head-on with an orc army.

3,000 human cavalry versus 4,000 orc infantry, but the losses on both sides were almost ...... It's the human earth that has suffered more casualties!

On Rostock's orders, another cavalry battalion drove out of the fortress, but instead of going up to fight, the cavalry retreated in response to the Milotian army.

The orcs were far behind the wooden wall that had just been erected, watching the human army move coldly.

Knowing that these orcs were eating human flesh, Rostock gave the order. Brought back as much as possible the corpse of every soldier left on the battlefield.

Three thousand cavalry lined up and confronted the orcs in the distance. The others nervously carried the corpses, and the orcs did not come forward, but. General Rostock, who was standing on the city wall, had a solemn face!

"Strong enemy. ”

Rochenthal suddenly spoke.

"It's a formidable enemy. The old general sighed. Looking at the generals with different faces behind him: "They used no more than 4,000 infantry to resist the frontal charge of our 3,000 cavalry, and they held out for more than two quarters of an hour! You can't do that. ”

After a pause, the old general suddenly muttered in a low voice: "This is the first battle...... Even though I won it, I still lost it. ”
