Chapter 17, The Crushing Battle

Name: Cloak of Shadow

[Quality]: Golden Legend

[Use]: Mainly used to recruit heroes, open the hero altar, choose to recruit, and attract golden legendary-level hero units to join your command.

[Notes]: The legendary equipment used by the legendary assassin, and later he died on the grassland, and the Shadow Cloak was lost, and you are lucky to find it, through this strange object, you may be able to recruit the most legendary moment of the Old World era to your command.

Look at the prop panel that appears in front of you.

Fang Yuan's face showed a rare look of excitement.

"Golden Wonders!"

"Finally I saw the golden strange thing again!!"

Think about it, the first golden strange thing was just when he arrived at the battlefield of the Ten Thousand Realms, and he only got it with the blessing of novice luck.

Then he recruited his strongest hero, Lilith.

And it is precisely by relying on Lilith that he can quickly gain a foothold in the battlefield of the Ten Thousand Worlds.

Then it snowballed, and in just over a month, it developed to the current level.

If there is no golden hero recruited by the first golden artifact.

At that moment, he was either drowning in the beast tide of Gondor.

Either they have already moved to the city and left, still struggling at the bottom.

Fang Yuan looked back at the road he had come from.

It's not hard to see how important the first golden artifact, the Arcane Heart, is to you.

And now!

I got a golden artifact again.

Although there are already three golden heroes under his command.

But from the ordinary contact process.

Fang Yuan is not difficult to find.

Later, Christian was promoted to the golden legendary quality by relying on foreign objects, and Yasis was obtained by forcibly increasing the recruitment probability by relying on foreign objects.

None of them can compare to Lilith's strength.

In addition to the difference in strength.

Then there's the knowledge you have.

Christian leaned towards religion and war.

And Yasis is only proficient in air warfare.

Neither is an all-rounder.

Only Lilith, who was first recruited with a golden artifact.

It can't help you deal with territorial matters, and at the same time, you can provide a lot of knowledge about the Old World.

At the same time, the powerful damage she carries makes her the star stone of her own territory.

As long as Lilith is around, she is enough to intimidate the surroundings.

And Christian and Yasis can't do it.

So it's not hard to draw conclusions.

Compared to the heroes who were later promoted to gold by props or other means, they are not as powerful as the heroes who were directly recruited with golden strange objects.

A hero recruited directly with a golden artifact.

Often, they have a strategic skill set that can turn the tide.

Now.

Fang Yuan looked at the golden strange thing in his hand.

He couldn't wait to use it.

See how strong the golden units you can recruit are.

But soon it occurred to me that I was still in the secret realm.

You can't leave the secret realm until you complete the mission.

He could only suppress this impulse.

Instead, he carefully placed the golden artifact in the package.

And at this very moment.

Lilith walked over quickly.

"Your Lord."

"The map-scouting Windranger has returned."

Hearing this news, Fang Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Double happiness is coming."

"Quick!"

"Bring it quickly."

In front of the watchtower.

Fang Yuan opened the Lord's Seal.

At this time.

With the returning Windrangers.

The map, which was originally full of fog of war, is rapidly opening.

"Your Lord."

"We're bringing 500 Windrangers this time."

"South, south, north, west, 100 were sent in all directions."

"The other hundred are random explorations."

"Now the number of the 500 Windrangers who went out is two hundred and ten."

"There's a good chance that the rest of the Windrangers won't come back."

"That means it was just last night."

"We've lost more than half of our high-level reconnaissance units."

"The danger of this secret realm is very high."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan nodded.

"Indeed, this can be seen on the map."

"A map to explore from Windranger."

"Let's enter the secret realm, and we can reach Gibb City, the city of Gondor, to the south."

"To the west you can reach the edge of the rotten swamp."

"On the eastern edge is a region called the Norton Mountains."

"The exploration in the north is not far away, only to the Iron Shield City of the Orcs of the Wind's Breath Empire."

Lilith said after a moment's silence.

"This should be the limit of a purple secret realm."

"As far as I can remember, this area covers at least 1/3 of the Wind-Breathed Meadows."

"It's already very big."

Fang Yuan nodded and said.

"Actually, it's a good thing for us."

"At least we know that the enemy we are facing this time is not the entire orc empire."

"It's just a big city-state."

"With this city-state beneath it is a lot of small cities of orcs."

"But overall, their strength won't be as terrifying as the entire orc empire."

Hearing this, Lilith chuckled softly.

"Your lord's luck is always excellent."

"Now we have a map of the surroundings."

"Have you figured out how to transfer, Lord Lord?"

"Look at the time, it's been more than half the morning."

"The orc legion should be almost here."

Hear Lilith's reminder.

Fang Yuan's slightly relieved mood just now became tense again.

Then he said, looking at the map.

"The watchtower we're on is located west-southwest on this map."

"It's only about thirty kilometers away from the Plantagenet family's pioneering castle."

"The distance from the nearest garrison to the north of the orcs is more than a hundred kilometers."

"And the information from the Windrangers."

"There's already an orc pikeman coming south."

"If you want to transfer, you definitely can't go north, and if you do, you will inevitably collide head-on with the orcs."

"But I don't want to go to the Plantagenet stronghold castle either."

"After they find out, our earnings from completing the main quest will be drastically reduced."

"Heading south is the opposite of the direction of our main quest."

"So we want to shift, and the direction is actually fixed."

"Northwest."

"Walk along the edge of the dark forest."

"From the information we have so far."

"There are no orcs over there yet."

"I guess it's the orc legions, and they think they've sent the wolf rider vanguard over."

"That's why we didn't send more cavalry to search in the direction of the dark forest."

"And that's our chance."

"The army has moved into the dark jungle and lurked, waiting for information from Vanath."

Hear Fang Yuan's plan.

Lilith said after a moment's thought.

"Extrapolating from the time, we are leaving now."

"The orc pikemen moving south should be able to reach the watchtower soon."

"Here in the watchtower, the traces of yesterday's battle are still there."

"The bodies of the killed wolf cavalry did not disappear."

"This situation will inevitably be discovered by the orc infantry."

"Next, they will definitely report the situation to the camp where the orc legion is stationed."

"And in an orc barracks, there will definitely be a team that responds quickly."

"There is a high probability that the orcs are a combination of wolf riders and air bat legions."

"If the orcs send the bat legion out to search."

"The Bat Legion is fast in the air."

"Among the legions we brought this time, there are slow troops such as tower shields and greatsword infantry."

"At the same time, 500 Flame Wizards with no mana are even slower."

"Don't wait for us to hide in the forest."

"It will be discovered by the searching bat army."

Lilith's words reminded Fang Yuan, and at the same time, he also understood what Lilith meant.

"So you mean to wipe out this orc infantry first?"

"This orc infantry is quite numerous."

"There are 8,000 of them."

Lilith nodded.

"Not bad."

"Destroy them first."

"Buy time for the slow legion to move into the Dark Forest."

"At the same time!"

"After destroying them, send a group of demon knights as bait to the southwest."

"Draw the power of the orcs to the Plantagenet family to open up the castle."

"Let them pit the two."

"That way, no one will pay attention to us, and we can march safely in the dark forest to reach the area of battle."

"As for whether it can be eliminated."

"Your Lord."

"As far as I know, the orc pikemen are generally mostly slaves."

"The combat effectiveness is not strong, and it belongs to the cannon fodder army in the orcs."

"The truly powerful infantry of the orcs is the high-level races among the orcs such as the tiger people, the battle axe legion, etc."

"The low-level half-blood orcs are often just slave laborers."

"Brennie has a demon knight with him, and he can easily kill them."

"Besides, Lord Lord is not lacking in kingdom prestige."

"Kill these orc infantry, and you can also gain a lot of prestige in the kingdom."

Hear this.

Fang Yuan looked at his Gonduo Kingdom reputation of 35,500 points.

There is still a gap of more than 10,000 points from the 50,000 points of the task.

Hunt orc legions, live battlefield treasure chests, and increase prestige.

This is also what I urgently need.

Thinking of this, he stopped insisting.

He quickly recruited Brennie.

After telling her the agreed plan.

Brenney said quickly.

"My lord, the plan works."

"It's exactly as Lilith said."

"The orc pikemen and infantry are all slave soldiers, and they have no combat effectiveness."

"Don't say eight thousand, it's ten thousand, and my demon knight can be easily annihilated."

"In two hours at most, I'll be able to get the job done."

"When the time comes, I will leave 100 demon knights as bait and march southwest, and then take the remaining demon knights to join you."

Hear Brenney say confidently.

Fang Yuan also made up his mind.

"Good!"

"That's it."

"Command the whole army."

"According to the plan, immediately move to the dark jungle in the northwest direction!"

"Yes!"

And not long after Fang Yuan transferred with the main force.

Arranged in a neat square.

The orc spear infantry carrying a spear of more than ten meters appeared nearby.

And as soon as they came here, they immediately found the wolf cavalry vanguard lying on the battlefield.

In the formation of the orc legion.

The Wolf Rider is a high-ranking class, an orc nobleman with a noble bloodline!

They died on the battlefield.

This will cause the wrath of the orc governor in Iron Shield City.

And once it is investigated.

At that time, all the legions in their direction will be punished.

So after seeing the corpse of the wolf rider.

The commander of the orc spear infantry "chuckled" in his heart.

Then there was a roar.

"Someone."

"Quick!"

"Send a message~"

Don't wait for him to say it.

Suddenly!

The commander of the orc pikemen slammed down.

Pressed his body to the ground for a few seconds.

Then he jerked to his feet.

"Cavalry!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Array~"

But by the time he found out, it was too late.

On the hillside not far from them.

The 2000 demon knights who had already been ambushed caught the belly of the horse.

The horses began to crumble.

And Brenney, who was at the front, looked at the orc pikemen in a mess.

"The chaotic infantry is weaker than a lamb in front of the cavalry!"

The corners of his mouth showed a trace of cruel killing intent.

"Speed up!"

"Flat guns!"

"Charge !!"

In a split second!

The two thousand demon knights slammed into the spear phalanx before they could be deployed, like a heavily armored tank.

Then!

The slaughter began.

Just when Brennie easily routed the orc pikemen.

At the same time.

Fang Yuan led the main infantry to the dark forest.

Over here.

They had just entered the jungle.

There is a windrunner to report.

"Report!"

"Your Lord."

"News from Lord Vanas."
