Dragon-vein kobolds are different from ordinary kobolds, they have a lifespan of up to sixty years, and every adult dragon-vein kobold is a natural professional, the king of the kobold clan, and the foundation of Kiram's foothold in the orc empire.

Without this dragon vein kobold army, even if Kiram became a legend, he would still be an empty commander, unable to establish his combat exploits, and it would be difficult for him to have prestige in the orc army.

The dragon vein kobold tribe in the orc kingdom, counting the old people and underage children, adds up to more than 20,000 people.

Although kobolds have strong reproductive ability, it is very difficult for dragon vein kobolds to give birth. Coupled with the attrition of the war, the dragon vein kobold can maintain a population of up to 20,000 people, which is still replenished by Kiram's use of magical transformation.

The legendary third-order dragon crystal in Kiram's hand can transform three hundred dragon vein kobolds through magic every year.

Seven or eight hundred dragon vein kobolds were killed and injured at one time, which made Kiram feel extremely distressed.

For more than ten years, the army in Harland's territory has used alchemy bombs many times, causing many casualties to the orcs, and Kiram and others have also received similar information many times, but he didn't pay attention to it.

Although the power of the alchemy bomb is powerful, the cost of manufacturing is also very high, and if you use a few hundred at a time, it will not play a decisive role in the main duel at all.

This weapon has been present in the Dawn Plane for thousands of years, and it is not new at all.

But Kiram never expected that the firepower of Haaland's territory would be so ferocious?

Thousands of alchemy bombs were thrown into one campaign, and it was very crucial. This is enough to show that the Haaland territory has mastered the method of making alchemical bombs at a low cost, and can use this weapon in conventional warfare.

This discovery made Kiram feel extremely bad, which meant that the Grant Kingdom's war ability would increase by three percent. Coupled with the magic hot air balloon, every battle of the orcs in this direction will become difficult.

At this moment, regret is useless. Casualties have been taken and the dead cannot be brought back to life.

Kiram could only grit his teeth and order the remaining dragon vein kobolds to continue the charge.

Seeing that the dragon vein kobold rushed forward regardless of the casualties, the soldiers of the first brigade raised their scorching ray guns one after another, and fired a volley at the dragon vein kobold.

From last winter to March this year, the Haaland Territory Mage Association and the military industry department worked overtime to produce 500 Scorching Ray Guns, of which 300 were assigned to the First Brigade.

These three hundred scorching ray guns, which are mainly allocated to recruits.

The Scorching Ray Gun relies on mana crystals for energy, and consumes less mana for soldiers, even if it is a beginner warrior student, it can consume more than a dozen rounds of fighting energy.

Recruits equipped with this weapon have improved their combat effectiveness extremely quickly, and their lethality in long-range projection can be compared to the elite veterans who have been trained for more than ten years by the third order of archery.

The first brigade led by Haaland already had five or six hundred veterans with a high level of archery, plus three hundred recruits equipped with scorching ray guns, and the projection ability was almost doubled.

In just a few tens of meters, the Dragon Vein Kobold suffered extremely heavy casualties.

Wails and screams continued to be heard, and scorching rays hit the dragon vein kobold army formation.

The Scorching Ray is a two-ring fire-attribute magic that was originally known for its destructive power. Even if a third-order professional is hit head-on, it will not be easy to defend.

According to the test of the Harland Leader Mage Association, the penetration of this magic is more than that of a strong bow with one stone and two buckets.

In addition, if it is hit by a scorching ray, it will also carry impact kinetic damage, explosion damage, and magic fire damage. Even a snake-like man with rough skin and thick flesh will lose his life if he is hit by several scorching rays in a row.

Although the flexibility of the dragon vein kobold is far greater than that of the snake man, the defense ability is still a weakness, and it is not as good as the wild boar man and the minotaur, and in large-scale battles, speed and agility can hardly play a role.

Three hundred scorching rays are shot at once, no matter how high your agility is, what's the use of dodging no matter how awesome you are?

A series of scorching rays shot out, hitting one by one dragon vein kobolds, making a popping sound, and in just a minute or two, Richard could smell the smell of burnt barbecue.

was raided by the alchemy bomb, and the kobold suffered seven or eight hundred casualties, and then in the face of the long-range projection power led by Haaland, the kobold continued to suffer five or six hundred casualties.

Before hand-to-hand combat, the kobolds had suffered more than 1,300 casualties. Such losses are equivalent to fighting several brutal wars.

Finally approached the military formation of the first brigade, several backbone squadrons blocked the front, they urged the enchanted armor, and the brute force technique was launched in an instant.

Most of these backbone soldiers are high-level warrior apprentices, and after using brute force, their strength is not weaker than that of professionals in a short period of time. Armed with large shields, they struggled to block the onslaught of the dragon-veined kobolds.

"Don't panic, don't panic, just like in training, change formations, change formations quickly."

Rank and file officers constantly give verbal orders to recruit recruits who use scorching ray guns.

After more than a year of hard training, it is already the instinct of soldiers to obey orders in battle, and their fear of leather whip military law is a few points higher than death.

Some people who don't have enough willpower will basically be eliminated in recruit training.

Moreover, in the cruel social environment of the Dawn Plane, people who are not strong-willed cannot survive at all. Especially in the northern frontier, which is facing an orc invasion once every three years, there are no weak people here at all.

Even recruits with less combat experience, under the command of veteran officers, can still carry out military orders without discount.

The soldiers wielding the Scorching Ray Guns skillfully changed formations, retreated to the flanks of the shield array, and attacked the Dragonvein Kobold from the side.

The dragon vein kobold didn't notice it for a while, and the scorching rays hit the soft underbelly of the two wings, and the casualties were even more serious.

The ordinary orc brigade, because of its low organizational ability, completely relied on a bloody courage to fight, but it was actually a rabble.

The reason why orcs can fight with the human army is that they are not afraid of death, because the boar people, lion people, elephant people, and werewolves far surpass the physical fitness of humans, because the number of professionals is far more than that of human armies, and because of the power bonus of bloodline spells.

Even more than 2,000 years ago, when the strength of the Orc Empire was superior, the knights composed of human knights were often able to defeat the orc army by relying on organizational superiority.

Richard led his troops to fight against the orcs for many years, and it was rare to see the orcs proficient in military formations, and it was even more impossible to change formations in battle.

Orcs always fight with three-plate axes, sheep-like and kobold serve as cannon fodder to test the enemy's firepower, wild boar-men, minotaurs and other squadrons charge, and when the battle is anxious, they put in snakes and harppogriffs, and put special forces from the ground and the sky, and the werewolf cavalry pursues after defeating the enemy.

But relying on this simple tactic, before there is an overwhelming superiority in weapons and equipment, it is enough to contend with the main regular army of the human kingdom.

The second-line legion with average combat effectiveness could not withstand the onslaught of the orcs' three-plate axe at all.

However, the Dragonvein Kobold had a very good organization, and after the battle situation changed, the Dragonvein Kobold immediately divided into four squadrons to attack the scorching ray spearmen on both flanks.

There are only four squadrons of the first brigade equipped with brute force armor and light spirit armor, and only these four squadrons can withstand the orc elite soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. Although the remaining squadrons are not afraid of death, they are not able to defeat the enemy in terms of combat effectiveness in the face of all-professional soldiers.

Unable to defeat their opponents in hand-to-hand combat, the Scorching Ray spearmen on both sides could only fire Scorching Rays while continuing to change formation and move closer to several main squadrons.

Once they are approached by the Dragonvein Kobolds and fall into hand-to-hand combat, it is impossible for the recruits of these two squadrons to withstand the attack of the four squadrons of Dragonvein Kobolds.

After entering hand-to-hand combat, it became difficult to kill the dragon-veined kobolds, and the casualties of Haaland's soldiers gradually increased.

Richard, Martin and other powerful professionals also took action one after another, killing the dragon vein kobold to reduce the pressure on their comrades.

Seeing that the dragon vein kobold was about to break through the formation of the third squadron, the shield array was torn apart, and more than a dozen veterans holding shields were killed and wounded, and let out bursts of screams.

Richard immediately put in eight points of spiritual power and released a powerful fireball technique, several large fireballs fell from the sky and fell violently into the dragon vein kobold crowd, several violent explosions came, and more than twenty dragon vein kobolds were killed and injured.

Richard's magic ability has surpassed that of ordinary nine-ring magicians, equivalent to a weakened version of the legendary magician, and he releases the lethality of powerful magic, which is very amazing to ordinary soldiers and low-level professionals.

As soon as he made a move, the kobold squadron's offensive was immediately interrupted, and the reinforcements of the dragon vein kobold commando were swept away by Richard.

The commander of the 3rd Squadron immediately seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack with the reserves, killing seven or eight dragon vein kobold warriors, plugging the gap in the shield array, and the battle line was once again balanced.

The fighting became extremely fierce and the casualties on both sides became heavier.

Seeing Richard wantonly slaughtering his own people, Kiram was preparing to lead a surprise attack to kill this annoying enemy.

Before Kiram could make a move, the Warcraft cavalry brigade led by Rand finally came to reinforcements.

Morgan, the commander of the cavalry brigade, was very decisive and immediately launched a fierce attack on the Dragonvein kobold salient.

These four dragon vein kobold squadrons were just about to pursue the scorching ray powerhouses, and the Warcraft Cavalry Brigade had already arrived.

The speed of the Monster Cavalry was very fast, and as soon as they got close to the kobold, they threw alchemy bombs.

The continuous explosion sound came from the kobold army formation, and this terrible explosion made the dragon vein kobold people present extremely frightened and hated.

According to the usual experience, the ordinary orc army could not stop the charge of the Warcraft cavalry at all.

However, the combat effectiveness of the dragon vein kobold far exceeds that of ordinary orcs, even if they are thrown two rounds of alchemy bombs by the Warcraft cavalry, and are attacked by four hundred iron wildebeest magic missiles, the dragon vein kobolds of the four squadrons on the flanks are still fighting tenaciously.

The dragon vein kobold is powerful, agile in footsteps, and has a high accuracy in using the spear, even if the army has collapsed, it still does not retreat and attacks the enemy.

Even Morgan was stabbed in the abdomen with a javelin by a dragon-veined kobold and nearly fell off his horse and died in battle.

Although the charge won this time and defeated the four squadrons of the dragon vein kobolds, the damage of the Warcraft Cavalry Brigade was not light at all.

Morgan swept around and found that there were more than 100 Warcraft cavalry on their horses.

Since the formation of the Warcraft cavalry led by Haaland, there has never been such a hard war.

Morgan cut off the spear that had stabbed him in the abdomen, and then smeared his wound with hemostatic ointment, which should have been operated on immediately. But in the cruel battlefield, only after the victory of the war, can you get effective treatment, even if your life is in danger at this moment, you can only hold on.

On the front line of the fiercest fighting, it was impossible for the wounded to retreat, and just when Morgan was a little desperate, Haraland finally came with reinforcements.

A bright magic lightning struck from afar, hitting the dragon vein kobold army formation in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, three or four dragon vein kobolds were killed by lightning, and then a bone-deep ice pick fell from the sky, fiercely nailing a third-order dragon vein kobold.

Just after the two spells, a large wave of arrows rained down on the dragon vein kobold formation.

The reinforcements were led by the Harland Guard Brigade, and they were joined by the Harland Mage Guild, and it was Sophia and Wendy who had just used a ranged spell to kill the Dragonvein Kobold.

This time in the fog, it was not only Haaland who led the first brigade to attack, the entire garrison of the station fort almost poured out, and even the grizzly bear army stationed behind the station fort also launched a fierce attack.

It's just that the first brigade attacked too fast and fiercely, and in a short period of time, it actually attacked the middle camp of the orcs.

As the Warcraft cavalry and guard brigade arrived, the pressure on the first brigade became lighter and lighter.

The casualties of the dragon vein kobold have exceeded two thousand so far, and the will to fight has also dropped a little.

Kiram was very experienced in combat and was not a stubborn person, and finding that defeat in this battle was inevitable, he gave the order to retreat very decisively.

The legendary kobold launched a surprise attack with his own soldiers, rescued the orcs from the siege, and then slowly retreated to the camp.

By this time the sun had risen in mid-sky, and Richard had roughly estimated that it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Since the trebuchet force was not yet ready, Richard did not intend to attack the fortified fortifications of the orcs.

Now that most of the fog has dissipated, this surprise attack has been a perfect success.

Because the battle was won, the battlefield was completely controlled, and the field hospital in Haraland's territory also began to do its best to help the wounded, and Richard's cousin Morgan was a high-ranking commander, and the best doctor operated on him at the first time and successfully saved his life.

Morgan is already a fourth-order knight, his physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, his knight bloodline comes from the magical creature Earth Giant Bear, and his vitality is also extremely strong. All these factors combined to allow Morgan to survive, but this time the injury was more serious, and Morgan needed at least three months of recuperation to recover his health.

Hearing that Morgan was safe, Richard also let go of his worries.
