Chapter 38: The Hunter and the Bear

"It's an honor to be with you. Miss Sibea. ”

Aaron smiled gentlemanly and said to Sibea, "With you joining us, we believe that we will be victorious, and our enemies will flee because of your heroic posture!"

"I hope you're half as good as you say. The female ranger still had the same arrogant face, and she was in no mood to joke now: "Of course, I will obey the order - because it is Commander Handel's orders." ”

"Oh, relax, don't be so nervous. Aaron said gently, "Our enemies are not far ahead, and they can't escape!"

"I'm sorry, we're not as laid-back as you. The female ranger snorted coldly: "If you are defeated, it will be a lifelong shame, and the ancient Forest of Silence will be destroyed because of this!"

"Well, I didn't think it through. Aaron pouted boredly: "General Jenas!"

"Command, sir. Janus, with a beautiful golden mustache, rode out of the cavalry on his beloved horse, and raised his right hand flat forward: "The Roman cavalry is ready to give orders!"

"I've heard Boris mention you, and I can tell he's gnashing his teeth at you. So I believe in the strength of you and your men. Aaron turned his horse's head and looked at him solemnly, "Will you complete my orders?!"

"The first of the Roman military orders is absolute obedience to orders, any orders, my sir. Jenas smiled.

"Very well, then order your soldiers to take off their iron armor, and of course the helmets can be left. Aaron gave a loud order: "Our mission this time is to intimidate the enemy! We need absolute speed, there can be no drag, we only wear leather armor to fight this time!"

"And don't bring a military flag. The knight of Brenus looked at him solemnly: "Because we come and go like the wind! There are no superfluous orders in this battle, and it is all up to each of us." We have only one order, and that is to charge!

"Yes, sir!" said Jenas nodded sharply, and returned to his ranks, giving orders to the warriors.

"Won't it hurt them if you don't let them wear iron armor?" Sibea looked at Aaron in bewilderment.

"Have you ever hunted a black bear on the icefield?" Aaron asked with a smile, "When hunting such a stupid and stupid, but powerful beast, we don't need a spear, because the bear's skin is too thick to pierce it at once, nor do we need a burly horse, because it can still get up slowly even if it is knocked off, and we don't need strong armor, because no amount of strong armor will allow you to survive its angry palm." ”

"Plenty of stamina, a nimble body, and a javelin that can bleed are all essential items when hunting black bears. Aaron proudly pointed to the Highland Rangers behind him: "I only brought three hundred good hunters this time, and each of them has at least one whole Haode bear skin in their home!"

"So, you're going to hunt orcs like a bear?" asked Sibea, a little amused.

"Of course, these guys are more difficult, but this is worthy of our journey and so well prepared!" Aaron pulled out a white horn from under the saddle and looked at the female ranger, "Are you coming or am I coming?"

"You're the commander. Sibea shook her head, "I promised Commander Handel that I would obey your orders absolutely, so I will do whatever I have to do." ”

"Any orders? That's ambiguous. Aaron shrugged his shoulders and muttered a few words, then took out his beloved knight's sword and waved it in a circle above his head: "Brothers, draw your sword--"

"Woo――――――――――――――――――――――――――――!!!!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The composition of the tribes of the orcs is completely different from all races, or for some reason it has become different, after Ashina Khan was the first to raise the banner of counterattack against the humans, many tribes that were already on the verge of extinction began to reappear, and completely transformed into new tribes after this round of tide.

War gave the primitive orcs a taste of sweetness, they began to no longer stick to the original subordinate tribe (in fact, the original blood relationship has long been shattered in the process of human slave hunting), admired the strong, eager for victory, the small leader followed the more prestigious and shili big leader, seeking protection and could make their lives better, this is the current situation of the orc tribe - they only want war.

Slaves, shelters, food, livestock, weapons, land, and even women (and this includes both orc and human women, some of whom are apparently as fond of human women as Ashina Khan) are all trophies or rewards for their own bloody battles, and orcs who do not fight are often regarded as cowards and are naturally not entitled to share in them.

So for Kosai, the Khan of the Taar tribe, he should be regarded more as a lord of war, because his only thing to do was to lead his warriors to victory.

On the battlefield, whether the bravery of the leader is compared to the warrior, or vice versa, the bravery of the warrior is compared to the leader, it is a shame for them, and all glory will be lost, and no orc will be willing to serve it, or a tribe will be willing to take it in, but such a thing has never happened in the tribe of Kosai, and all the orcs know one thing - the great Kosai Khan is the most warlike orc leader after Ashina Khan, and his cruelty and generosity, Wisdom and bloodlust are unmatched.

That's why Kosai was able to gather 100,000 people, of course only 30,000 warriors, and the rest were the property of the Tar tribe and the warriors who had not yet grown up (i.e., most of the women and children). If you want to feed them, the only way for Kosai is to fight. The fertile lands of the natural south and the abundance of slaves had given Kosai and many of the orc leaders another way to rule, but for now, they still had to fight other races, even neighboring tribes, for the riches of their tribes - after all, these murderous creatures had no appetite for peace.

The same is true for Samir. As a commander of Kosai Khan's men, it is a great honor to be able to lead his warriors and clear the way for the army as a scout, and it is also his best chance to show himself, dedicate his glory to the great Khosai Khan, and gain greater prestige - so that the orc warriors will continue to follow him.

The pain in his blind eye alerted Samir to the fact that he had become more cautious than ever since he had been attacked by a seasoned Noldor hunter. It's not a good habit for orcs, but Kosai appreciates it, which is why it's a scout for the army.

"Stop!" Samir yelled, "Stop, you idiots!"

Knowing its might, the orc scouts obediently slowed their pace, clenched their heavy spears, and held their shields in front of them. They weren't armed with iron armor - like all orcs, it was a sign of cowardice.

Soon, they noticed that the ground was shaking, or rather, shaking!

"Cavalry! human cavalryβ€”!" Samir roared, "Tighten your formation!"

"Roar ――――――!!!!!"

Hearing the order, the orc warriors immediately moved closer to the middle, erected a parapet wall with their shields, and stretched out heavy spears from the middle, waiting for a possible enemy.

Soon, the enemy appeared, it was cavalry!

Samir couldn't remember how long it had been since he had fought a human cavalry. Except for the Battle of Tulka Castle, most of the human armies did not dare to send a single cavalry force to fight against the orcs, because the defeat would be a heavy loss that they could not afford!

The strong shield wall formed by the orcs was an obstacle that the cavalry could not cross, and without enough number and impact, they could only break their heads in front of this iron wall!

Samir set up his shield, and only one of the only ones narrowed into a slit -- the enemy's cavalry actually used a scattered formation! You must know that even a dense cavalry cone formation is very reluctant to break through the shield wall of the orcs!

It seems that the Noldor Elves do have the support of humans, but this human leader is an incorrigible fool. Samir smiled coldly, it had already seen a rare battle feat beckoning to it!

The charging cavalry dispersed, and suddenly another group of cavalry with a distinctly different style sprang out from behind - it was the Noldos!

What are they going to do?!

The Noldor rangers, who had incarnated as the ancient Noldor Rangers, had a condensed face, and without saying a word, they opened their bows and arrows, and stared at the enemy in front of them with angry eyes.

The cold star-chasing arrow, with angry fire, pulled up a beam of white light and rushed into the distance of sight!

Almost at the same time, several dazzling blood flowers burst out in the middle of the originally tight shield wall, and the solid shield wall suddenly revealed flaws. The Noldor Rangers, who are proficient in accurate shooting, can shoot arrows even on horses!

Taking advantage of the moment the shield wall was released, the highland cavalry from the Arctic Ice Plain erupted into a neat roar, pulled out javelins more than a meter long from the saddle, and threw them out without looking!

These brave hunters, with absolute confidence in their skills and those of their comrades, will accurately land each javelin on the chest of their enemies. The razor-sharp javelins flew like the scythe of death at the loosely formed orc soldiers, nailing them to the shield even if they didn't hit their bodies, and the unsteady center of gravity of the shield made it impossible for them to maintain such a strong shield wall.

"Roar-!!!" Samir roared angrily, it couldn't stand more casualties. Command your soldiers to spread out their formation, raise their heavy spears and launch a frontal charge against the enemy!

"Janusβ€”!" Aaron roared loudly behind him, raising his long sword in his hand, "Charge with me!"

The neatly organized Roman cavalrymen, with their spears in their hands, galloped out of the cavalry and followed closely behind Janus.

"For the Glory of ――――――――――!!!!!!"
