"Master, is your heart wavering?" asked Carrie.

"No, I didn't. The Blood Banner Boss replied in a low voice. His gaze was fixed on the ornamental structure at the entrance to the camp, which was made from the helmets of human soldiers, many of which still contained the smashed skulls of their owners. A small group of goblins are munching on mushroom wine on the newly completed building.

"You're shaking. Master, I advise you, I strongly advise you, to direct your heart with reason and not with emotion. ”

"Reason and emotion?" said the Blood Banner Boss repeating Carrie's words.

"Yes, do you think these humans are innocent, and you feel guilty that your plan has affected them? But it's a complete illusion, because you still think of yourself as a human in your own inner identity. So when aliens are at war with humans, your heart will be tilted towards the side of humans, and that's all. This is typical irrationality. ”

The Blood Banner Boss didn't answer, just silently pondered Carrie's words.

"But even if you're a human being, that's wrong. Do you remember your battle in St. Jean? You killed so many Paro soldiers, did those soldiers have a grudge against you? Or did they do something wrong? They just answered the call of the country and fought for the country. You can't be wrong about that. They also have wives and children, as well as fathers and brothers. But at that time, you didn't waver in your heart. And why are you upset now?"

And, you should think about it too. What happened in the city of Oren, the Shem people are also responsible. None of this would have happened if they hadn't given the city to the church. I'm pretty sure you can't come to a compromise with them, at least not right now, unless you can crush the Shem! Carrie's voice echoed in his ears, gentle but chilling. "Besides, it's too early to think about whether you have won or not. ”

"You're right. The Blood Banner Boss looked away from the goblins. "Thomas said that victory is the only way to make peace. If it fails, it's just a better way to 'surrender'. They look like they're going to fight us tomorrow. ”

The Blood Banner Boss strode into his camp through the main entrance. The boys who were partying hurriedly got up and saluted the boss. Of course, the Blood Banner Boss didn't pay any attention to these little goblins, but walked into his camp and found a small goblin leader.

"Boss. The little boss recognized the Blood Banner Boss.

"Go, get me all the bosses. Those humans want to have a big fight with us tomorrow...... What are they doing? Why are they all gone?"

"Boss, they went over there to listen to the shamans' stories. Because the boar boy didn't participate in the battle over there, they all go there to listen to the story now. Boss, let me take you there. ”

It didn't take much effort for the Blood Banner Boss to come to the place where the story was told. A large group of shamans is scattered here, each occupying a territory, surrounded by a large crowd of spectators who are telling the audience about the great war that took place today at Tekken Castle.

But they weren't just telling stories, for the shamans had put themselves in a psychic state: mimicking sounds on the one hand, and projecting a hazy green illusion above their brows. These looming visions are the content of today's battle, allowing the greenskins who did not participate in the battle to watch the massacre and listen to the sounds of the battlefield.

In this case, the strength of the shamans can be more clearly distinguished. Because the more powerful the shaman, the clearer the illusion projected, and it can even reach the height of immersion. Of course, the more visitors crowd in.

But in any case, these projected visions made the blood boil at the moment for every greenskin who watched it, and these exciting battle scenes attracted their attention, and almost no one noticed that the Blood Banner Boss was among them. Of course, they didn't even notice that the east had already revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and the dawn was coming.

"Kouhu!" the Blood Banner Boss let out a loud roar that shook the entire camp. "You wastewood, you're going to war!! Waaaaa...... gh......”

The shamans were startled by the sturdiness, and all illusions disappeared at once. But the greenskins who haven't slept all night are boiling with beast blood at this time, and their whole body is full of energy to have a big battle. Hearing the boss's call, they all jumped up one by one, the guys they were carrying, and responded to the boss's call.

“Waaaaa...... gh......”

At dawn, the coalition forces came out of camp and lined up. One of the original plans was to launch a surprise attack while Greenskins were preparing for a chaotic formation, but in fact the plan immediately proved to be inappropriate. Because the greenskins seem to be doing the same thing. Just as the coalition forces were ready to take on the challenge, they found that the greenskinned legion was ready at this moment, pouring into the battlefield from behind a hillside.

It's a mountainous area a day's walk from Tekken Castle. Although it is said to be the rear of Iron Fist Castle, it can theoretically be considered the range of human control, but because of the frequent infiltration of small green skins, this area is a no-man's land. The humans and the greenskins each occupy a small hill that is not steep, and the battlefield is the valley between the two slopes.

The Blood Banner Boss stood at the top of the hillside. From this vantage point, he could clearly see the human formation. However, it was a bit strange to say, because the formation he saw was not any formation he knew. This is neither a convex formation intended for a central attack, nor a crane wing formation intended to outflank the two flanks, nor a square formation that seems to be a combination of attack and defense but is actually featureless. The formation laid out by the coalition forces was very strange, and most of the troops were arranged in an irregular line according to the terrain, with a posture of intending to rely on favorable terrain for defense. However, there was an independent cavalry regiment of about two or three thousand men placed in a protruding position in the middle, as if it was about to attack head-on. Overall, I couldn't understand what they were trying to do, and it didn't look like offense or defense. And the isolation of this cavalry unit is completely confusing.

If it weren't for the clever placement of their cannons to cover the entire battlefield, the Blood Banner Boss would have thought it was a three-year-old kid's playful front at will.

But with the addition of artillery, in a sense, this formation becomes a bit interesting. The cavalry regiment launched a surprise attack and went head-to-head with a Greenskinned unit, and if the Greenskins won, they used artillery to stop them from pursuing. If the Greenskins lose, the artillery is used to stop reinforcements from other Greenskins. Repeated attempts were made to retreat if the battle situation was unfavorable, and the use of terrain cover was enough to ensure that the Greenskins could not pursue deeply. If the situation is favorable, then further offensive on all fronts. Cut, this is completely bullying the greenskins, and the war machinery hasn't been delivered here yet!

The Blood Banner Boss was guessing in his heart about this kind of tactics that matched the formation. Then he saw a cavalry galloping from the rear line of mankind to the first line of cavalry. He immediately realized that the human attack was about to begin.

The Blood Banner Boss's analysis was not wrong at all. At this time, the first line of cavalry was rushed to the first line of cavalry regiment by a gray-haired old man, he was a veteran of the Shem army, and his name was Eric. Queen Sham established the strategy set by the previous king against the Greenskins. And the Order of Knights under Eric's command will be at the heart of this tactic.

Of course, it is also the most dangerous part. No general wanted this high-stakes honor, so Eric, who was born as a civilian, was chosen.

"All the army, assault, destroy the Greenskins!" Eric raised his weapon, "Fight for Shem!"

"Fight for Shem!" the knights shouted a slogan, driving their horses as they rushed away like a stream of iron. The human cannons also fired, casually firing a few shots to cheer on the knights, and the solid cannonballs caused only limited casualties.

The greenskins felt that something was wrong, and a group of goblin wolf cavalry rushed up with a wild scream, trying to block the onslaught of the knights. The goblins are cunning, and they understand that it is unrealistic to fend off the human knights from the front, whether they are themselves or their mounts, so they try to glue the charging knights from the flanks and backs to achieve the goal of stopping the knights' charges. This time, though, the goblins had completely miscalculated. The charging knights quickly split into two teams, one of which turned around and targeted the charging goblins. The other team immediately abandoned their original goal and instead made a small turn. Charge the wolf cavalry from the flank.

This is a tactical move that only a well-trained knight can do. In the blink of an eye, the wolf cavalry who had planned to flank the knights was instead attacked by the knights in front and back.

A wave of mounted spears immediately knocked down a large number of goblins, and then the knights drew their melee weapons and began hand-to-hand combat. The human cavalry is much taller than the wolf cavalry, so the goblins can only attack the knights' fully armored legs and waists, while the knights can easily attack the goblins' heads and chests. The knights were condescending and easily dealt a terrible blow to the goblins. In a short time, this group of 1,000 wolf cavalry was crushed, and everywhere there were wolves scurrying around without their riders, and goblins who had fallen to the ground and were ruthlessly trampled by their horses. The remaining goblins turned around and ran, but were blocked by the knights who came around from behind, and the battle turned into a one-sided slaughter. By the time the goblins howled and fled the battle, they had lost at least half of their troops, and the rest fled the battlefield in disarray. The knights suffered only limited casualties. The battle was so short that no greenskin force had time to reinforce the hapless wolf cavalry.

The knights broke away from the battle and quickly formed a group to rush forward again with a group of orc boys.

The Greenskins' Bow Boys attacked. But Eric continued to command his troops, knowing that on the one hand, there were not many Bow Boys, and on the other hand, their crude bows and arrows were very limited in their damage to the well-armored knights.

As he had expected, the knights cut through the rain of arrows with very little loss and struck straight at the green-skinned infantry.

If they were charging at a human infantry at this moment, maybe the situation would be worse. Because when the cavalry is facing the infantry charge, it is like striking a hedgehog shrunk into a ball with his fist, killing 10,000 enemies and losing 3,000 himself. But the Greenskins are not trained soldiers, and their sense of discipline and formation is far less strong than that of humans. This gave the knights a chance.

The two sides engaged in a white-handed battle, and the knights on the front line used their spears to cut off hundreds of people from the green-skinned queue at once.

On the vast battlefield of 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers on both sides, this loss of personnel will not have any impact on the entire battle situation. But for this team of green-skinned boys, the blow was quite big. The human knights rampaged, and the sound of swords and metal cutting into flesh was heard in the neighing of men, and the orcs actually carried it down in the knight's frontal charge, and it seemed that the knight's formation was staggered.

It's just that this scene is less than a short time in total. More knights were rushing over in a steady stream, and with only the strength of about 2,000 of the greenskins' group of boys, it was really difficult to resist the frontal charge of the three thousand knights of the human race. Although the greenskins on both sides were coming in this direction, it was too late. The knights split into two detachments and blocked the nearest reinforcement. And the greenskins who tried to counter the charge were swallowed up by the flood of knights' armor in an instant, and they couldn't even make a splash.
