Chapter 22: The Attack on the Skirmishers

The three Richard brothers had Warcraft mounts and followed Lieutenant Colonel Marven with more than thirty mounted infantrymen.

Lieutenant Colonel Marven is a scout directly under the regiment and can receive military information from all aspects.

As the news continued to gather, Richard received more and more information, and gradually figured out the general situation of the war.

In this war, the Orc Empire launched an attack on five directions: the Kingdom of Grant, the Kingdom of Lane, the Grand Duchy of Starnik, the Duchy of Larson, and the Duchy of Chromia. The range of orc attacks is very large, the area is very wide, and the direction of three thousand kilometers is full of orcs.

The northern countries of the Dawn Continent have almost all suffered from the invasion of orcs.

The orc legion that entered the kingdom of Grant was divided into three directions and formed three front armies.

From the Sierra de Vila, the Western Front invaded Duke Fox's territory and had already conquered more than a dozen castles and killed five barons.

The legions commanded by the Duke of Fox could not resist, and the nearby Duke of Edward and the Duke of York had already sent reinforcements. On the Western Front, the Kingdom of Grant has suffered a lot of losses, with more than 20,000 soldiers killed and wounded.

The Orc Eastern Front crossed the Annis Mountains and entered Duke Jonathan's territory, and for the time being, it had not broken through Duke Jonathan's defense line and was in a state of stalemate.

The Grizzly Legion is stationed not far from Duke Jonathan's county, and is temporarily used as a reserve in case the orcs increase their troops on the Eastern Front.

The Central Front is the main force of the orc army, attacking the two directions of Heihe Fort and Flame Fort respectively.

The orcs in the direction of Heihe Fort have made a big breakthrough.

Having broken through the defense line at the southern foot of the Eagle Mountain Range and storming Heihe Fort, the scouts have infiltrated the Dragon Canyon.

The Harpy Inspector even appeared in the sky above Fort Letterte.

The Knights Academy of the Kingdom of Grant has been fully mobilized, forming the Academy Knights, launching a brutal strangulation war, hunting down the scouts and sentinels of the orcs.

The Feiyan Legion also entered the battlefield, threatening the orc grain route from the flank and rear, and cooperating with the main northern legion to fight.

In the direction of Flame Castle, the orc army is divided into two routes, and the main two legions threaten the direction of Flame Castle. There were also seven brigades of orcs attacking the Pratos Mountains and acting as surprise soldiers.

In the direction of the Pratos Mountains, the Orc Forward Brigade advanced lightly and was annihilated by Baron Harden and the Eighth Brigade.

In the ensuing siege battle, the orc army was ill-prepared, and the defenders seized the opportunity to kill and wound more than 1,000 people inside and outside.

The orc commander Gunder personally visited the battlefield, learned from the experience of two defeats, and reduced two brigades to strengthen the formation. Combining forces to give full play to the superior forces, they conquered half of the fortress of Pratos, broke the deadlock in one fell swoop, and regained the upper hand.

At the critical juncture when Gunderson was making persistent efforts to annihilate the Eighth Brigade and completely break through the Platos defensive line, Baron Harden and his cavalry attacked the orc transports and burned the orc food and grass.

The Angolo Brigade is responsible for escorting grain and grass equipment and protecting transport routes. This brigade was repeatedly attacked by the cavalry of Baron Harden, and the losses were already very serious. It was already very difficult to protect the grain routes, and it was impossible to draw troops to participate in the attack.

In desperation, Gunderson could only divide his troops and send the Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry Brigade to track down and kill Baron Harden's cavalry regiment. Sending Wald's brigade to bypass the defensive line and capture the Barony of Stopa by surprise and collect grain for the main force.

The remaining two brigades attacked the Platos fortress complex, and the casualties were not light. Restrained by the main force of the Eighth Brigade, he could not easily withdraw his troops.

Lieutenant Colonel Marven had a keen sense of smell on the battlefield, and when he appeared in the Stoppa's field with his cavalry, he found that the orcs had begun to shrink their forces.

If the forces of Wald's brigade are concentrated, the orcs of four and a half squadrons are also a significant force. Appearing on any battlefield is a heavyweight weight that can change the situation of the Platos Line.

After entering Stoppa's territory, the reconnaissance found that dozens of orcs were escorting the captives to Vic's Castle, and Lieutenant Colonel Marven decisively launched an attack.

Although Richard was very brave in the battle, this time there were too many monks and few porridges, and he was not able to kill the professional in the battle.

The third-order snake body led by the team was directly beheaded by Lieutenant Colonel Marven, and the remaining orcs were not highly mature, and Richard shot two orcs and failed to make a meritorious achievement.

However, in this battle, they rescued more than 1,300 human prisoners.

Compared to orcs, humans have a much better level of development and have an IQ that surpasses that of most orcs. Orc slaves are highly valued in the Human Kingdom, and human captives are also a precious resource in the Orc Empire.

Many orcs and nobles will keep human slaves in captivity, and let human slaves make weapons and equipment and act as logistics troops. There were even human mages who served the Orc Empire, providing magical items to the Orcs.

Lieutenant Colonel Marven was all reconnaissance cavalry, and it was impossible for him to act with the refugees.

Richard ordered Hayden to take a few soldiers and settle the refugees in a ruined village nearby. Fight with Ron with Lieutenant Colonel Marvin.

Lieutenant Colonel Marven sent scouts on a large scale.

They appeared very suddenly in Stoppa's territory, caught the orcs by surprise, and captured three orc squads in a short period of time, killing and injuring more than 160 orcs in total.

This time, Richard finally seized the opportunity and shot the second-order sheep-bodyed man, making two small achievements again.

The experience points have increased by 1000 points again, and Richard has accumulated 2500 experience points, but he can't upgrade his skills yet. Looking at the increased experience, Richard took advantage of the gap in the battle and silently opened the attribute panel.

Richard Haaland

Power: 8.7

Dexterity: 2.6

Stamina: 3.9

Mental Power: 9.1

Lion Legion's Breathing Method: Tier 4 (1302/10000)

Grant Kingdom Basic Swordsmanship: 3rd Order (589/4000)

Archery: 4th Tier (601/10000)

Riding: 3rd Tier (523/4000)

Northern Legion Combat: Tier 3 (106/4000)

Experience: 2500

In the last few days, the experience has increased slightly, and the stamina stat has increased by 0.1 points.

Richard inherited William's talent, and his natural physical fitness surpassed that of ordinary people. He is not yet an adult, and he has been in the Wild Lion Army for more than two months, and his physical strength has increased slightly.

However, according to Richard's estimates, the physical potential is basically realized, and it will be difficult to improve it in the future.

Although Richard is only a first-order professional, his physical attributes are enough to compete with second-order professionals. All combat skills have been honed very maturely, especially archery, and there are probably less than five people who have beaten him in the eighth brigade.

Even in the face of a third-order professional, Richard's chances of winning are still very high, especially when he is far away, if he does not have good enchanted armor and enchanted shields, Richard can easily shoot the enemy.

In close combat, Richard's attributes, swordsmanship, and fighting skills are also enough to compete with ordinary third-order professionals.
