Early one morning in mid-April, Maluland gave Richard an early letter of war.

On this day, Richard gathered all his troops, with the soldiers commanded by Barons Sharp and Leon as the left flank, and the soldiers commanded by Barons Rice, Dack, and Bazel as the right flank. He personally commanded the infantry of the Harland Territory as the middle army, and the Warcraft cavalry lined up behind the infantry.

As for the 400 serf soldiers under the command of Baron Dirham, they could only become a burden in the field, so let them stay in the camp.

However, the Baron of the Dirham still had his guards, as he was a hereditary nobleman who had to fight.

Because he had to fight with the infantry, Richard did not ride the Iron Wildebeest, but gave his mount to a Warcraft cavalryman.

In war, sometimes a battle can be decided by a little bit of strength.

Give up your second-order Iron Wildebeest to a cavalryman, and the Warcraft Cavalry Squadron will be able to increase the combat power of a second-order professional.

If his Warcraft War Horse kills and injures a few more orcs in battle, the orcs may not be able to hold on a few seconds early.

Who wins in a war often depends on who can hold out to the end.

Hold on for one more minute and your opponent may be in disarray.

When the two armies fought, the casualties on the front were actually relatively small, and most of the casualties were when the opponent lost its structure and retreated.

The mornings in April are very cool, perfect for combat.

The wind whistled in my ears. Richard narrowed his eyes, observed the speed of the wind, took out the enchanted longbow, and aimed it at an opponent.

The arrow pierced the sky and hit a third-order kobold with precision.

A hint from the stats panel sounded in my head, though I decided not to use Kill XP anymore. But the tip of this feature Richard liked very much.

With this function, any means such as playing dead has no effect here in Richard.

Even this little ability is equivalent to a very advanced detection magic, and sometimes it can be very effective in combat.

As soon as the third-order kobold died, the orc squadron under its command was in chaos.

As the distance between the two sides grew closer and closer, entering the range of the archers, the soldiers of Haaland's territory fired their arrows one after another.

Because of physical limitations, many orcs are far less flexible than humans.

If you don't have flexible hands, you can't use a bow and arrow.

The orcs' long-range attack methods are mainly based on slings.

Now with the Heavy Trebuchet, the Orc's ranged attacks have been enhanced.

Richard's invention is relatively easy to copy. Although the heavy trebuchet allowed the Grant Kingdom to take advantage of a short period of time and win a battle, in the long run, it increased the strength of the orcs to attack the city a lot.

In the last siege, Maluland suffered a defeat, and the trebuchet in the hands of the orcs had been burned by Richard.

The craftsmen who can make trebuchets are also in the rear of the Orc Empire.

An important factor in Maluland's willingness to fight in the field was the discovery that heavy trebuchets were being built in Richard's camp through reconnaissance.

Once these trebuchets are built, the orcs will not be able to fight back.

Under the blows of heavy stone bullets every day, the fortifications of the camp could not hold up for too long.

Fighting human soldiers and projecting orcs from a distance is always a disadvantage.

Seeing that the rain of arrows was constantly coming and the casualties were increasing, Maluland could only lead his soldiers to speed up their pace and fight the human soldiers in close combat.

In just over a hundred meters after entering the range of the archers, the casualties of the orcs exceeded six hundred.

As for the casualties of human soldiers, only a few dozen were injured by the slings, and most of them did not affect the battle.

By the time the two sides fought, the orc army was only 1,500 left, and the soldiers commanded by Richard exceeded 3,000.

Several thousand men from the two armies collided on a two-hundred-meter-long front.

The breath of death came to the face, blood flowed everywhere, stumps and severed arms flew in the air, and the strong smell of blood made people feel like they were vomiting.

Seeing that the powerful heavy force of the Snake Man rushed up again, Richard immediately unleashed the Super Fireball Technique.

Nine large fireballs exploded in the ranks of the Serpents.

In an instant, the snake man died eight or nine again, and injured more than a dozen.

Looking at the less than forty snakes left, Maluland suddenly felt a little frightened.

Soros and Roland led the cavalry, slowly bypassing the large formation and charging towards the corner of the orcs.

The powerful Warcraft cavalry, like chopping melons and vegetables, easily defeated a squadron of orcs.

The cavalry swept by, slashing with great force, and easily slashed the orcs.

The two armies are staggered, and Soros's face is already covered with blood.

Having routed the orc squadron, the cavalry continued forward, appearing behind the Serpent heavy infantry.

In order to avoid being attacked on their backs, the snakes could only change their formation and transfer some of their soldiers to turn around.

Soros didn't charge hard, and the Warcraft cavalry threw another round of alchemy bombs.

Although the alchemy bombs in Haaland's territory are not well stocked, they are enough to fight several medium-sized wars.

Before this decisive battle, Richard mobilized a part of the alchemy bomb and equipped it with the Warcraft cavalry.

This round of alchemy bombs was thrown, and the snake man finally knew how to dodge.

Dozens of alchemy bombs exploded, and for a while, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the smoke was filled.

When the smoke cleared, the snake man counted the casualties and found that eight or nine were killed and a dozen wounded in the battle again.

The alchemy bomb, combined with Richard's super fireball, once again hit the Serpent Heavy Infantry.

After many consecutive blows, there were less than twenty snakes left.

These snake-body men finally broke through the layers of barriers, like twenty sharp iron chisels, and slammed into the first squadron.

The first squadron is the main force of Haaland's territory and the backbone of the front.

Seeing the snake man rushing up, the ten veterans wearing brute force armor immediately urged the fighting spirit, applied the brute force technique to themselves, and put them at the front.

At the same time, Soros also took the cavalry around in a circle and reappeared behind the snakebody.

Soros personally commanded more than a dozen archers, shooting arrows from behind and sneaking up on the snakes.

The rest of the soldiers were commanded by Roland, and they attacked the flanks of the orc army.

Soros let go of the bowstring, and a snake man was shot into the lobes of the lung.

The powerful arrow pierced the Snake Body's chest, and the Snake Man fell to the ground, spitting red foam from his mouth.

In the fierce battlefield, once you fall, whether it is a human soldier or a snake man, it is impossible to be spared.

Resisting the attack of the snakes, the first squadron gritted its teeth and persevered, although it suffered heavy casualties.

Of the ten veterans wearing brute force armor, seven have been killed. Deputy Squadron Leader Darcy was killed in battle, and Martin was wounded in the squadron, but the officer veterans, along with the soldiers, had already killed six snakes.

Soros led the sharpshooter to sneak up on him from behind, and the results were also very good, shooting seven snakes.

The few remaining serpents were surrounded by the remnants of the First Squadron, and it was impossible to survive.

Richard led his own soldiers, brandished his long sword, and rushed towards the few snakes. Support the 1st Squadron to prevent the 1st Squadron from being unable to support it due to heavy casualties.

Although the snake man is very strong, it is a pity that he is outnumbered.

The last snake man swung his sword and stabbed Martin to the ground, Martin had already closed his eyes and was waiting to die, and Richard stepped forward to help Martin with his deadly sword.

Richard's spiritual power was not much, so he could only release a ring of magic wood vines at the feet of the snake man.

The Snake Man was entangled in the vines that suddenly appeared, and the nearby soldiers swarmed up and immediately stabbed the Snake several times in the body, killing the last Snake Man.

The Serpents, an all-professional heavy infantry, were killed in battle, and the remaining orcs were not spared, and they couldn't beat the soldiers of Haland's territory on the frontal battlefield, and they were attacked by the Warcraft cavalry on the flank, and the formation could no longer be maintained.
