Chapter 35: Raiding Madness

For the first time since the war with the Terrans, the Golden Lion Family was beaten, and the Lion King Elliot was furious.

Eliot, the lion king, was not angry because of the tens of thousands of orcs killed on the battlefield. Except for a dozen or so mammoth war beasts raised on the front line, none of the orc warriors came from the family's direct army, and no matter how many people died, they were just cannon fodder.

The real losses came from the border side. First of all, the Spirit Mother Stone Mine was destroyed, not only burned the canyon and rescued the Terran slaves who mined, but the most infuriating thing was that it also took away the dwarf master Turutuk who refined the ore. The mine can be rebuilt, and the slaves can be caught again, but without the dwarves, the Golden Lion family may not be able to refine a spirit stone for a long time, which is a loss of real money and silver.

Then the Three-Eyed Dog tribe was looted again, this time the looting was too vicious, and all the silver-horned bucks in the two ranches of the tribe, whether they were the cub-raising doe or the fawns that had not yet been weaned, were all robbed.

It is impossible for the Three-Eyed Dog Tribe to restore the supply of mounts to the family Silver Horn Cavalry Regiment within two or three years, and the old patriarch of the Three-Eyed Dog Tribe committed suicide on the night he was robbed.

It's not a pity that the old thing died, but the silver-horned cavalry, which is the three cavalry regiments directly under the family, has become a source of water, and it will be difficult to restore the formation once there is battle damage on the battlefield.

And all this is said to have been done by only one squadron of the Terrans, and when the news of the first robbery of the Three-Eyed Dog Tribe came up, the Lion King reprimanded the patriarch of the Three-Eyed Dog Tribe a few words and threw the matter aside, because he didn't believe that dozens of Terran warriors could make any waves on this side of the Orc Wasteland.

A few days after the Three-Eyed Dog Tribe was robbed, letters for help from the major tribes in the border area flew like snowflakes.

Those hateful Terran slaves actually took advantage of the robbed silverhorn stag to quickly pull up a cavalry regiment of more than 500 people and began to plunder frantically in the border area.

In the past, Arthur and the others were only raiding small tribes, looking for opportunities to harass and sneak attack medium-sized tribes, but now they have begun to openly raid medium-sized tribes, and can even eat most of the orc pursuit troops in turn.

The reason why Arthur and the others are so rampant is precisely to take advantage of the loophole of this war between humans and beasts.

A medium-sized tribe of orcs generally has one or two thousand people, and sixty or seventy percent of the tribe are qualified orc warriors. But because of the war, seventy or eighty percent of the orc warriors in each tribe were sent to the battlefield, and the number of warriors left in the tribe was no more than two or three hundred. The emptiness of the tribe naturally created an opportunity for Arthur and his cavalry regiment to take advantage of.

A medium-sized orc tribe has accumulated more wealth than those of the poorer and weaker tribes, and only three tribes have been sacked, and the weapons and equipment of the new soldiers of the Arthurian cavalry regiment have all been replaced with shotguns, and at least each of them is a third-class weapon armor.

The high returns from the sacking of the orc tribes are insane, and the warriors who were previously suspicious are now completely tied to the carriage of Arthur and the Seventh Squadron, and the orc tribes are looted in the border area.

As a result, the major tribes in the border area have asked for help from the orc royal court.

Arthur and they really angered the Golden Lion Family this time, and the lion king Elliot personally dictated the pursuit and killing order, anyone who killed the Terran bandits who broke into the territory would be rewarded with a reward of 100 gold, and the leader of the Terran bandits would be rewarded with 10,000 gold, and the territory within a radius of 100 miles would be sealed.

Not only that, but fearing the speed of the Terran cavalry, the Golden Lion Family also specially dispatched two cavalry regiments directly under the family to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Arthur and them.

In the vast orc wasteland, how easy is it to hunt down a small group of Terran cavalry who have no fixed residence? Not to mention Arthur They are extremely cunning, they never stay in one place for more than a day, and they will not even attack neighboring tribes, often the pursuers of the Golden Lion Family get Arthur's traces and pounce on them, only to find that the target has long been gone.

The two sides started a cat-and-mouse game in the border area of the Orc Wasteland.

During this period, the orc's pursuers really had two encounters with Arthur's cavalry. On one occasion, Arthur and the others lost dozens of warriors and ran out before the orc pursuers formed a circle, and on the other occasion, they ran for a day and a night under the repeated pursuit of the orc cavalry, exhausting dozens of silver-horned bucks before they threw off the pursuing orc cavalry.

In this intensive, high-intensity battle, Arthur and his cavalry regiment continued to grow and become stronger.

The so-called walking by the river is inevitable without getting your shoes wet, and good luck is not always on Arthur's side.

Arthur had just ransacked an orc tribe when he came out of the camp and collided head-on with an orc force preparing to enter the camp.

The size of this orc force is nearly 1,000 people, and the army gathers warriors of various races such as werewolves, snake people, and bear people, and all of them are elite orc warriors above the third level.

Arthur and his cavalry regiment had no choice but to kill them.

Arthur raised the Starfall Greatsword in his hand, and he was the first to kill it.

"Did you escape this time?" a familiar voice suddenly came from the orc team opposite.

......

Former military city.

After days of war, the strong and tall walls were in tatters, and the walls were pitted and uneven, and the walls were covered with the marks of heavy blows and fires. The corpses piled up under the walls were several meters high, and orcs who were good at climbing could now climb directly from under the walls without a ladder.

Not only the soldiers, but now even the young men of the city are on the top of the city, and the defense of the city is almost filled with flesh and blood.

Looking at the tide receding like the tide of the sea at dusk, Golly sat down at the head of the city tiredly, and this day's battle should be considered over.

There were already a large number of soldiers lying behind Gori, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a soldier who died in battle or a soldier who was tired and paralyzed and just lay down. The squadron had already lost more than half of the battle, which was the lowest rate of all the defending troops.

"Let me lean on for a while, I'm going to be exhausted this day!" Joan sat down directly against Golly's back, there was no difference between men and women in the war.

It was getting dark, and the two of them didn't speak.

The soldiers of the improvised militia took advantage of this time to carry away the corpses of the dead on the city wall, and in the process of carrying them, they found that half of them were soldiers who had already fallen asleep, and they were so tired that they had not even treated their wounds.

"Is the battlefield interesting?" Golly asked Joan suddenly, not knowing what was in mind.

Joan replied in a rare and serious manner, "Of course it's not interesting for you who are desperate on the battlefield, but these casualties in front of you are just some numbers in the eyes of the big people above, and war is an interesting game for the people above." ”

"Are you on top or below?"

Joan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I'm not in the chess game." ”
