The reason why the orcs dared to divide their troops into three brigades and attack the swamp basin was because of their aerial reconnaissance intelligence.

In this area of the Grant Kingdom, every orc invasion battle relies heavily on the strength of the Harpy. Because of the advantage of aerial reconnaissance, orcs can always easily grasp the initiative on the battlefield. Therefore, when waging war, the orcs relied heavily on aerial reconnaissance intelligence, and completely relied on aerial reconnaissance to guide the operation in each battle.

It's a pity that the orcs never expected that two mage towers were built in the swamp basin, and under the sudden blow of the two mage towers, the orcs suddenly suffered heavy casualties, and almost the whole army was in danger of being wiped out.

The officer who commanded the three orc teams was named Raquel, an eighth-order lionman. Faced with such a sinister situation, Raquel was a little at a loss.

The place he chose to camp was the highest point in the swamp basin, less than a kilometer away from the Tower of Lightning.

Although the location of this camp is good, it is just within the striking range of the lightning tower. The reason why Soros let the orcs camp here and did not send troops to harass and stop them was that they specially arranged traps for the orcs.

Sure enough, Raquel was immediately fooled, and his headquarters was attacked by the Tower of Lightning, killing and wounding hundreds of soldiers, and then attacked by the cavalry inside the Tower of Lightning, and suffered heavy losses again. Having suffered two blows, the losses have already exceeded a thousand.

The situation in Raquel's department was not the worst, and the orc brigade that he had sent out to attack the Tower of Fire was now almost completely wiped out.

This orc brigade was greedy for merit, fell directly into the trap, and was crippled by the firestorm. Coupled with the blow of the castle trebuchet, it has almost collapsed by now.

Standing in the middle of the camp, Raquel asked the kobold officer who had climbed up the lookout post, "How's the situation with the Gula brigade?" ”

"Your Excellency, the banner of the Gula Brigade has been cut off by the humans, and now it has lost its structure and has no ability to resist the slaughter of the humans."

"Can you see Captain Gula?"

Raquel's camp was not far from the Tower of Flame, and it was on high ground, so the situation on the battlefield could be clearly seen.

Raquel knew in his heart that in a situation of defeat, it would be difficult to rely on a few senior officers to turn the tide. The only thing he hoped for now was that Captain Gula would save his life and collect the defeated army.

As long as the Gula brigade is not completely annihilated, it will inevitably contain some human soldiers, and they can cover their own evacuation from this dangerous location.

Raquel is already a mid-to-high-level orc, and of course he knows how long it will take for the mage tower to be charged. The normal mage tower can only be charged for one day, and the mage tower with low charging efficiency can also be fully charged in a week.

What's more, the Mage Tower can also use the energy of the magic crystal to release magic, and if the defenders have enough magic crystals, they can release a continuous stream of lightning.

If they continue to be struck by the enemy's magic, Raquel's 3,000 troops will also be scattered.

After Raquel forced Soros to retreat, he immediately organized his soldiers to retreat. In order to travel lightly, he even ordered his soldiers to abandon hundreds of wounded. Leaving the wounded behind is a morale-serious act, but Raquel can only do so in order to save the army.

The swamp basin is not very large, and it is surrounded by gently undulating mountains, so as long as you retreat into the mountains, you are not afraid of the pursuit of the Warcraft cavalry.

As soon as Raquel moved, he was immediately discovered by Soros, who was waiting for work.

Soros pursued with cavalry, and Raquel couldn't retreat at all. In desperation, he could only lead his army to stop and fight a battle with Soros.

Soros had only 600 cavalry under his command, while Raquel suffered heavy losses, the morale of his troops was low, and the number of soldiers was 3,000.

If Raquel is allowed to inspire the orcs to courage, it is likely to fight a beautiful counterattack.

Without absolute certainty, Soros certainly won't attack when his troops are insufficient.

In the swamp basin, the soldiers of Haland's territory have the initiative on the battlefield, and they will only look for an opportunity to fight the orcs after the soldiers of the Tower of Flame have surrounded and annihilated the remnants of the orc brigade and joined up with the Soros department.

With cavalry watching, Raquel's troops couldn't go fast at all, dragging for more than three hours, and only walked two kilometers, which was still half from the mountain.

Within three hours, Sophia and the defenders of the Tower of Fire had cleared the remnants of the enemy and wiped out the defeated orc brigade.

All the main officers of the Gula Brigade were killed in battle, and the three or four hundred orcs who escaped from the battlefield had already broken into the wilderness.

The arrival of this new force has made the situation of the orcs even worse.

Charlemagne, the leader of the guard squadron, commanded five hundred infantry, very resolute assault orc arrays.

Behind the main force, six hundred auxiliaries followed.

The auxiliaries of Haaland's territory need to be trained for two months a year, and although they are not professional off-duty soldiers, they have some combat effectiveness. Although these auxiliaries have less steel armor, they are very well equipped with weapons.

Although the salary of the auxiliary soldiers in Haaland's territory is very low, the real combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the serf soldiers, and with professional officers, the combat effectiveness can be comparable to that of the urban defense army with inland status.

The auxiliaries often undertook the task of defending the city, and also had rich battlefield experience, and their formation was very well drilled, although they were very nervous, but they were afraid of the harsh military law, and still followed the soldiers of the guard squadron to participate in the surprise battle.

Normally, the five hundred soldiers of the guard squadron, plus six hundred auxiliaries, were not able to fight with the orcs in a field with a brigade and a half, and they did not dare to assault the orc line.

However, first, there was a Warcraft cavalry brigade to contain it, and secondly, the orc army was demoralized. Charlemagne decisively seized on this and launched a surprise attack with no indomitable progress.

The distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, and Charlemagne's raised right hand was suddenly lowered, and a shout came out of his mouth: "Release the arrow!" ”

The soldiers of the guard squadron heard the command and neatly loosened the bowstring.

There are two guard squadrons in the Haaland territory, each used to carry out guard duties. Because of the special nature, the soldiers of the guard squadron naturally had to be carefully selected. The members of this army are veterans and have to go through strict political trials to prevent spies from getting involved.

Both squadrons of guards were under Charlemagne's command, and they were very well armoured, with soldiers all dressed in steel armor and armed with well-range bows and arrows. The officers at the grassroots level were all wearing enchanted armor, equipped with enchanted bows and crossbows, and enchanted swords. Even if the combat effectiveness is inferior to that of the 1st squadron. The second squadron, the first-rate infantry in the Harland territory, is also stronger than the average field army.

The arrows were like flying locusts, and in an instant, they were enveloped in the orc array, and rows of orcs continued to fall, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground.

At the same time, the orc soldiers also used slings to throw stones, and the stones struck the iron armor fiercely, making a clanging sound. A few soldiers were unlucky enough to be hit in the cheeks by a stone, and in an instant, like a watermelon that had been burst, red and white flowed down the pool.

Charlemagne brandished his enchanted sword to block the stone that had struck him, and he estimated the distance and immediately gave a loud order.

"Grenadier, throw alchemy bombs!"

Charlemagne's voice was very loud, like a thunderbolt.

In the Dawn Plane, a loud voice is a prerequisite for becoming an officer.

Only when the voice is very loud can the command be heard by the soldiers under his command in a noisy battlefield.

"Boom!"

A loud bang rang out, and the orc army formation filled with white smoke.

The morale was already very low, but the casualties suddenly rose, and an orc squadron collapsed directly.

Seeing that the orcs were so weak, Soros decisively invested his troops and led the Warcraft cavalry to cooperate with Charlemagne to attack the weak points of the orcs.

Almost all of the mage regiments in Haaland's territory were in Charlemagne's army, fighting with the infantry.

More than a dozen greasy spells were released, and the orc army that was blocking in front immediately slipped and fell. The guard squadron immediately fired a round of feather arrows, easily crushing the orc squadron and breaking into the orc formation.

Seeing that the magician cooperated with the infantry, the threat was so great. Raquel took his own soldiers and launched a counter-raid, hoping to kill and injure the members of the mage group.

Raquel's move was immediately spotted by Wendy. Wielding her staff of thunder, she aimed Raquel with a bolt of lightning.

Wendy stretched out her hand, and a bolt of lightning struck Raquel suddenly.

Raquel hurriedly arranged a Douqi shield and wrapped himself inside the Douqi shield from head to toe.

The lightning struck the Dou Qi shield fiercely, and the Dou Qi shield was scattered in an instant.

The shield of the fighting spirit shattered, and in an instant, Raquel felt a sharp pain in his body, and the electric current in his muscles was rushing.

Before Raquel could breathe a sigh of relief, Sophia unleashed the Fire Wall Technique, and a wall of fire slammed into Raquel.

Raquel's flesh was tingling from the flames, and he swung his sword with all his might, with a powerful fighting spirit in his hand, and this energy split the wall of fire in two.

A wall of fire passed past Raquel, setting his clothes on fire. Raquel instantly turned into a burning man and let out a terrible cry.

Raquel endured the severe pain in his body, and rushed into the formation of the guard squadron with a long sword in hand.

He wielded his sword, just about to slash at a magician. The two professional officers raised their heavy shields and stood in front of Raquel.

The long sword slashed the shield fiercely, and the powerful force directly shattered the iron-clad shield, and the hands of a second-order professional officer raising the shield were also shattered by this powerful force.

Raquel was just about to continue his move, when Wendy held the Thunderbolt Staff and continued to send out a second bolt of lightning.

The Staff of Thunder and Lightning is a legendary-level magical equipment, and Wendy holds the Staff of Thunder and Lightning, and her attack power is stronger than that of the Seven Rings Magician.

The lightning spell attack speed is extremely fast, making it almost impossible to dodge, and you can only rely on the Fighting Qi shield to hard-connect.

Raquel's Dou Qi shield was shattered just now, and he was unable to condense the Dou Qi shield in a short period of time, and he was scorched black by this lightning in an instant, and his whole body was numb.

Sophia reacted quickly and hurriedly released a powerful magic activation rope, conjuring up a magic rope to bind Raquel.

The body was tied, Raquel let out a long roar, and his body violently exerted force, and the magic rope was broken.

Raquel had just broken the magic rope when Charlemagne's sword slashed Raquel's head with a sword in his hand. In a panic, Raquel could only raise his left hand to block.

The sword swung over, instantly severing Raquel's left hand.

Raquel jerked his leg up and kicked it hard, breaking Charlemagne's ribs in an instant, kicking him more than ten meters away.

Seeing that Charlemagne was seriously injured, Sophia hurriedly released a four-ring magic healing spell for serious injuries, pulling up most of Charlemagne's vitality.

Raquel hit Charlemagne with a kick, and just as he was about to continue killing, Heath and Butler released spells one after another.

Hiss unleashed Immobilization, and Butler unleashed Blindness.

Although Raquel is already at the eighth order and has a high magic resistance, these two spells still exert a serious negative state on him, making his movements and reactions very slow.

At the same time, Wendy raised the Staff of Thunderbolt for the third time, unleashing a third bolt of lightning.

This lightning bolt was like the last straw, instantly knocking down Raquel, and the soldiers swarmed up and immediately tied up the eighth-order lion man with iron chains.

After many years of fighting with orcs, the Grant Kingdom has never captured such a high-ranking orc officer.

Sophia, fearing that the man was too injured and would die in the middle of the road, released healing magic on Raquel to help him stop the bleeding.

Raquel personally raided the array of the guard squadron, only to be besieged by the professionals of Haraland's territory, and instead became a prisoner. The commanders were all taken prisoner, and the morale of the orc army was extremely low and soon collapsed.

The situation in the swamp basin could not be concealed from the orcs who had the advantage of reconnaissance, and when the orc army was ambushed by the mage tower, Pratt sensed that the situation was not good, and immediately deployed troops to prepare for support.

As soon as the orcs moved, Richard immediately went out of the city with the main force of the garrison fort.

Fort Garrison is the main force of Haaland's territory, with a total of four infantry brigades, one reconnaissance cavalry brigade, and five thousand elite soldiers.

With 5,000 elite soldiers in the middle, the speed of Pratt's march was naturally slow.

When he arrives at the swamp basin, Pratt discovers that Raquel has been captured by humans, and the remnants of the orcs have been dispersed. The human army had cleaned up the battlefield, and most of the soldiers had returned to the castle.

Now the situation faced by Pratt's department is very bad, with the swamp basin in the north approaching 2,000 enemies, and the elite soldiers of Haaland's territory in the south 5,000.

Three brigades of soldiers were lost, and although the orc legion had a main force of 14,000 men and a sheep body auxiliary force of 8,000, the situation became more dangerous.

After analyzing the situation, Pratt felt that he could not continue to delay.

Now there are reinforcements on the east and west sides of Haaland's territory, and to the east is the fifth and sixth brigades of Haaland's territory, with 2,000 elite soldiers. To the west was the coalition of nobles of Heihe County, which also had a total of two thousand soldiers. When the human soldiers have completed their assembly, their own troops will be completely encircled by the humans.

At the critical moment, Pratt was very decisive, and he immediately gave an order to let the orcs under his command attack the enemy on the southern front, wanting to break through the blockade from the front.

As soon as the orcs turned around, Richard ordered his soldiers to line up and fight.

Compared with the orc army, although the number of soldiers in the garrison under Richard's command was small, it was like a rock, and he resolutely did not take a step back. He took the lead and successfully mobilized before the war.

The two armies slowly approached, suffering heavy casualties from long-range shots at the orcs. Pratt suffered more than a thousand casualties before approaching the array of soldiers in Haaland's territory with his soldiers.
