Richard appeared directly behind the orc camp with his soldiers, which had already caused chaos in the orc camp.

In the battle the day before yesterday, Richard released a number of powerful spells, and most of the magic power had been consumed.

Now, a day and a half later, the mana has not yet regained its full power.

Now that the raid was launched, Richard did not use spells, but drew the bowstring.

He poured his fighting energy into the enchanted arrow, and the enchanted arrow erupted with a white light and slammed into a third-order orc officer.

The arrow let out a sharp whistling and passed through the throat of the third-order minotaur.

There was no time to wait for the orc shaman to heal, and the leader of the third-order minotaur squadron was killed on the spot.

The leader of the Minotaur squadron was killed, and the orc soldiers under his command immediately went into disarray. The orcs panicked, shouting at their companions, sounding the alarm while barely fighting the human army.

For the sake of speed, Richard did not carry a heavy trebuchet.

Their attack was so sudden that the orcs never expected that human soldiers would emerge from their rear.

At the time of the scouting, the Harpies were mostly in the south. There is not much defense against his own back road, only a small number of werewolf scouts, and the reconnaissance range is only a dozen kilometers away.

As a result, these werewolf scouts were all killed by the Harland Territory Scouts.

By the time the orcs sensed that something was wrong, Richard and his army were already less than a kilometer away from the orc camp.

The distance of one kilometer is almost an instant for the Warcraft Cavalry Brigade.

When the Warcraft cavalry launched a charge, it would take two or three minutes to rush through a distance of one kilometer.

Richard did not let the precious Warcraft cavalry charge directly, but led the infantry to storm the orc line.

Orcs are not good at long-range combat, and the trebuchets are all aimed in the direction of Graveson Castle, and the large trebuchets are very difficult to turn, and they can't do it in a few minutes at all.

Even if he charged with infantry, Richard had some chance of defeating the orcs.

Time on the battlefield passed extremely quickly, and in just a few minutes, Richard and the soldiers of Haaland's territory had already broken through the orc defense.

The orc army, which had lost its commander, could not withstand the onslaught of Haaland's army, and held out for a moment before completely crushing.

The patrol orc squadron did not resist for long before breaking up, allowing the army of Haaland's territory to quickly approach the orc camp.

Richard stopped thirty meters from the orc camp, and then commanded his soldiers to shoot feathered arrows.

The rain of arrows continued to fall into the orc camp, and many orcs had not yet been organized, and as soon as they walked out of the camp, they were shot by arrows.

"Light the brazier, shoot the rocket, fire the rocket quickly!"

The rank and file officers continued to command and shout, and in a short time the soldiers of Haaland's territory lit the braziers, and the archers fired rockets one after another.

Rockets hit tents, stakes, and immediately set the orc camp on fire.

Billowing smoke rose from the orc camp, and the raging fire burned instantly, and in a short time, a large patch was strung together.

was suddenly attacked by Richard, and the orcs couldn't react at all, and immediately killed and wounded many soldiers.

The orc commander suppressed the panic in his heart, immediately organized his guard squadron, and despite the very serious situation, he still gritted his teeth and rushed out of the camp, hoping to contain the army of Haaland's territory and drive the soldiers led by Richard a little farther.

"Grenadier, throw alchemy bombs, don't let the enemy organize, take advantage of the chaos to kill and wound the enemy as much as possible."

Seeing that the orc guard squadron entered the firing range, under the command of the junior officers, the grenadiers threw dozens of alchemy bombs one after another.

Dozens of alchemy bombs exploded in the orc guard squadron, the grenadiers were on excellent accuracy, and the gusts of gunsmoke passed, and the orc guard squadron was already dead and wounded, and there were almost no intact soldiers.

Immediately after that, the archers fired arrows, killing some of the surviving orcs.

Although the orc commander made efforts to turn the tide of the battle, it was a pity that there were too few soldiers organized, and before they could rush to the soldiers of Haaland's territory to engage in hand-to-hand combat, the guard squadron was completely wiped out.

In just a few minutes after the surprise attack was launched, the orcs had already lost hundreds of soldiers, two squadrons were completely annihilated, and many soldiers were shot and burned to death.

Graveson's orc army numbered only four thousand, and it had lost one-tenth of it in such a short period of time.

Seeing that the soldiers in Haaland's territory were so fierce, the orcs did not dare to continue to send a small number of soldiers to drive them away.

The orc officers kept shouting in the camp, organizing groups of orcs to prepare to fight the enemy after gathering a large number of troops.

After Richard led his troops to attack, Viscount Rohm, who was stationed at Graveson Castle, reacted quickly, immediately gathered his forces, and cooperated with Richard to launch a siege and annihilation battle.

Sensing that the war was unfavorable and that the flames in the camp were difficult to extinguish, the orc commander ordered the troops to set up a barrier and the trebuchet troops to tighten the winch as quickly as possible, load the stone shells, and use the trebuchet to block the Viscount Rohmon who was out of the city, killing and wounding the defenders of Graveson Castle.

Then he ordered the snakes and harpies to assemble and attack the army from Haaland's territory, playing almost all the hole cards, hoping to relieve the pressure on the camp and buy time for his own soldiers.

The stone bullets kept falling, and the 200-pound stone bullets fell from the sky, even if they were high-level professionals, they didn't dare to take it hard.

Fortunately, the orcs do not know how to calculate ballistics, are not proficient in classical mechanics and ballistics, and their throwing accuracy is very poor and their speed is also very slow.

Although the counterweight trebuchet is powerful and can throw 200 pounds of stone projectiles, it also has obvious weaknesses, their range is almost fixed, even if the range is roughly changed by adjusting the winch and rod arm, they cannot attack the enemy who is too close.

It has been six years since the appearance of counterweight trebuchets in the war, and as the first country to use counterweight trebuchets, the Kingdom of Grant is well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of this weapon.

Seeing that a few stone bullets caused more than a dozen casualties, Viscount Rohmon kept urging the soldiers to speed up, and after a few rounds of stone bullet rain, although more than a hundred soldiers were stoned to death, Viscount Rohmon and the noble coalition army also rushed past the limit of the trebuchet's range.

Seeing that Viscount Rohman was with his soldiers, he was already less than a hundred meters away from the camp. The orc commander immediately ordered a part of his personnel to resist Viscount Rohman.

Viscount Rohmon seized the fighter and cooperated very well with the soldiers of Haaland's territory.

The appearance of the defenders of Castle Greyford undoubtedly relieved the pressure on the troops in Haaland's territory.

As soon as the eighty snakes were organized, the Monster Cavalry bypassed from the flanks and back, and manipulated the iron wildebeest to fire a hundred magic missiles at the snake formation.

Although the magic missile is a ring of magic, one or two shots cannot kill the snake man. However, a hundred magic missiles hit the array of the Snake Body, causing the attrition of more than twenty Snake People.

With such a dense array of magic missiles, the snake man had no place to dodge.

A round of magic missiles was fired, and the Warcraft cavalry drew their bows and arrows, and shot a round of feathered arrows at the snake man.

The Warcraft cavalry is good at attacking fortifications, and the speed is fast, and the iron wildebeest also has a certain amount of magical lethality, and it is very restrained against the army of snake-clad professionals.

Although the Snake Man has strong melee ability, it can also spray venom, and its medium-range lethality is also quite good. But he is very afraid of this kind of opponent who is fast and has strong attack power.

The Warcraft cavalry bypassed the array of snakes, and the first round of blows caused more than thirty snakes to be attributed.

The Serpent had the intention to chase after the Demon Beast Cavalry, but the speed was too slow to catch up with the Iron Wildebeest.

If the Warcraft cavalry is left alone, when the Snake Man and the human infantry fight, the Warcraft Cavalry will still attack the back of the Snake Man, and the Snake Man will become in a dilemma for a while.

After discovering that there were monster cavalry in Haaland's territory, the Snake Commander could only bite the bullet, hoping to rush through this distance and engage the soldiers in Harland's territory in close combat.

Once the two sides start hand-to-hand combat, in order to avoid injuring their own people, the threat of the Warcraft Cavalry to the Serpents will be much less.

On the battlefield of Graveson, the soldiers of the Harland Territory joined forces with Viscount Rohm, and their combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the two orc brigades.

Moreover, there are also Warcraft cavalry under Richard's command, and the soldiers are also equipped with a large number of enchanted armor and alchemy bombs.

Unless the orcs make a surprise move, they will be able to recover a few disadvantages.

But it was Richard who surprised the soldiers, and he took the soldiers of Haaland's territory by surprise and killed and wounded hundreds of orcs. The fire burned down the orc camp and left the orcs struggling to move on their backs.

The situation has developed to this point, and the orc commander weighs the pros and cons and decides to take his own soldiers around him and kill the commander of the human army.

If Richard can be killed and the soldiers in Haaland's territory are routed, there is still hope of winning this battle.

Unlike Durham, which Richard killed, the Orcs were only the sixth-order commander in the Graveson direction, and their rank was only that of a senior captain, which was equivalent to Richard's defeated general Maruland.

He took the orc soldiers around him and rushed towards Richard without hesitation.

The main forces of Haaland's territory have already started to fight the orcs, and the only ones protecting Richard are the guard squadron, the reconnaissance squadron 1, and the mage regiment in the territory.

Richard carefully observed the battlefield, assessing the balance of forces between the two sides.

Seeing that the orc commander rushed over with his own soldiers, he immediately raised the thunderbolt staff, the magic power in his body flowed, and a large amount of magic power was invested, and in an instant, a huge lightning bolt had been condensed.

As the magic surged, the lightning became brighter and brighter, and the busy light of the magic flickered slightly.

Lightning went straight for Captain Orc.

Use the Lightning Staff to release lightning magic, increasing its power by 50% and reducing its mana consumption by 30%.

Richard invested ten points of spiritual power and used the Thunderbolt Staff to release the lightning technique, and the power has exceeded the nine rings. Such a powerful lethality is equivalent to a weakened version of legendary magic.

Even the eighth-order boar-man Duram was killed by the lightning technique, and the sixth-order orc captain was not spared at all.

Suddenly, he was struck by a thick lightning bolt and received a boxed lunch on the spot.

Richard led the reconnaissance squadron and the guard squadron to defeat the army led by the orc captain, successfully controlled the battlefield, cut off the head of the orc captain, and then hung it on a long wooden pole.

As soon as the orc captain died, his head was hung up.

Such a tragic situation suddenly broke the will of the orc soldiers.

Seeing that the defeat was a foregone conclusion, the remaining orc officers immediately had plans to retreat and break through.

As soon as the orcs withdrew, it was immediately a situation of defeat.

It's not easy to kill an orc if you're fighting head-on. But as soon as the orcs fled, they lost their organization and exposed their backs, and killing the orcs was fairly simple, as long as they shot a feathered arrow, it was possible to shoot the orc officer.

Richard and Viscount Rohmon cooperated very tacitly, and they broke up a group of orcs that were organized. Chase the orcs into the jungle and then clean up the battlefield in their respective areas of control.

Because the orcs had not yet invaded the province of Geda, and the loot was pitiful, only more than 3,000 human slaves were captured, and Richard gave Viscount Rohmon a thousand.

Counting the more than 4,000 human slaves rescued from the garrison, the population of Haaland's territory has increased by 6,000 since the start of the war this year.

Captured orc slaves, cut off the heads of orc professionals, plucked snake body scale armor, cleaned the battlefield, and counted casualties.

The battle was fought beautifully, with no more than two hundred casualties among the soldiers in Haaland's territory, and only fifty killed.

Viscount Rohman's coalition army suffered slightly larger casualties due to the trebuchet's attack, with a loss of 400 soldiers.

At the cost of 600 soldiers, the aristocratic coalition army of Geda Province annihilated two large groups of orcs, cut off more than 2,700 orc heads, and captured more than 700 orc prisoners, and only more than 600 orcs fled the battlefield.

Counting the remnants of the defeated soldiers in the fort, there were more than 10,000 orcs in five brigades, and there were less than 3,000 survivors.

These more than 3,000 orcs have been reduced to frightened birds, scattered in large forests, and they are no longer considered a hidden danger.

Without a long period of reorganization, according to the morale of these orcs, it is basically impossible to fight.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Richard and his soldiers entered Graveson Castle to rest for two days, and then returned to Harland's territory with the spoils of war.

Taking advantage of the fact that the orcs did not yet have a black river, Richard sent the orc prisoners of war and their heads to Fort Leyte by boat for merit, and reported the details of the two battles.

Today's Kingdom Roger is a veteran who has participated in many wars, and he can easily see through lying about his exploits.

Moreover, the Council of Nobles dealt with false reports of war exploits very strictly.

Therefore, Richard's war report is a straightforward narrative and tells the story of the war.

In this battle, Richard took the soldiers of the Harland territory, cooperated with Viscount Rohman, annihilated five large groups of orcs in the two battles before and after, and also killed the deputy captain of the eighth-order boarman Duram, the sixth-order werewolf captain, plus the merit of killing the low-level orc professionals, confirmed by the Geda Province and counted by the Council of Nobles, a total of fourteen major merits and six medium merits were made.

The province of Geda had just won the battle, and the bad news came immediately, and the orcs once again broke through the border from the county of Martins, and the main army of orcs numbered as many as four drowned the county of Martins.

The new Earl Martins was killed in battle, and the county fell once again.

Even the Ransom Legion stationed in the Earldom of Martins was beaten by the orcs and lost more than half.
