Lord Harland

Richard and his soldiers appeared directly behind the orc camp, causing chaos in the orc camp.

In the battle the day before yesterday, Richard released many powerful spells, and more than half of his magic power had been consumed.

Now a day and a half later, the magic power has not been restored to full.

Now that a surprise attack was launched, Richard did not use magic, but drew the bowstring.

He poured fighting energy into the enchanted arrow, and the enchanted arrow burst out with a white light and shot towards a third-level orc officer.

The arrow made a sharp whistling sound and passed through the throat of the third-level tauren.

Without enough time to wait for the orc shaman to treat him, the third-level tauren squadron leader was killed on the spot.

The tauren squadron leader was killed, and the orc soldiers under his command immediately fell into chaos. The orcs panicked, yelling for their companions, and while sounding the alarm, they reluctantly fought against the human army.

In order to speed up his troops, Richard did not carry a heavy trebuchet.

Their attack was so sudden that the orcs never expected that human soldiers would appear from behind them.

When scouting, the harpies were basically to the south. There is not much preparation for our own retreat, there are only a small number of werewolf scouts, and the detection range is only a dozen kilometers away.

As a result, these werewolf scouts were killed by Harland Territory Scouts.

By the time the orcs realized something was wrong, Richard and his army were already less than one kilometer away from the orc camp.

The distance of one kilometer is reached almost instantly for the Warcraft Cavalry Brigade.

When the Warcraft Cavalry charges, it can cover a kilometer in two to three minutes.

Richard did not let the precious Warcraft cavalry charge directly into the formation, but led the infantry to attack the Orc defense line.

The orcs were not good at long-range combat. The trebuchets were all pointed in the direction of Graveson Castle. It was very difficult to turn the large trebuchets, which could not be done in a few minutes.

Even if he charges with infantry, Richard has some chance of defeating the orcs.

Time passed very quickly on the battlefield. In just a few minutes, Richard and the soldiers from Harland Territory had broken into the orc defense line.

The orc army, which had lost its commander, could not withstand the fierce attack of Harland's army. It persisted for a moment and then completely collapsed.

The orc squadron patrolling the camp collapsed without resisting for too long, allowing the Harland Territory army to quickly approach the orc camp.

Richard stopped thirty meters away from the orc camp, and then directed the soldiers to shoot arrows one after another.

Arrows continued to fall into the orc camp. Many orcs were not organized yet and were killed by arrows as soon as they walked out of the camp.

"Light the brazier, shoot the rockets, shoot the rockets quickly!"

The junior officers kept shouting commands, and soon the soldiers of Harland Territory lit the brazier, and the archers fired rockets one after another.

The rockets hit the tents and wooden stakes, immediately setting the orc camp on fire.

Thick smoke rose from the orc camp, and a raging fire burned instantly, spreading across a large area in a short time. .

Being suddenly attacked by Richard, the orcs could not react at all, and many soldiers were killed and injured immediately.

The orc commander suppressed the panic in his heart and immediately organized his guard squadron. Although the situation was very serious, he gritted his teeth and rushed out of the camp, hoping to contain the Harland Territory army and drive away the soldiers led by Richard. Farther away.

"Grenadiers, throw alchemy bombs, don't let the enemy organize themselves, take advantage of the chaos to kill the enemy as much as possible."

Seeing that the Orc Guard Squadron had entered the firing range, under the command of junior officers, the grenadiers dropped dozens of alchemy bombs.

Dozens of alchemical bombs exploded in the Orc Guard Squadron. The grenadier's accuracy was excellent. After bursts of smoke, most of the Orc Guard Squadron was dead and wounded, and there were almost no intact soldiers left.

Then the archers shot arrows one after another, killing some of the surviving orcs.

Although the orc commander made efforts, hoping to bring the battle back, unfortunately there were too few organized soldiers, and the guard squadron was wiped out before they could rush to the soldiers in Harland's territory for hand-to-hand combat.

In just a few minutes after the surprise attack was launched, the orcs had already lost hundreds of soldiers. Two squadrons were completely wiped out, and many soldiers were shot and burned to death.

The total number of Graveson's orc army was only four thousand, and one-tenth was lost in such a short period of time.

Seeing how ferocious the soldiers in Harland's territory were, the orcs did not dare to continue sending a small number of soldiers to drive them away.

The orc officers kept shouting in the camp, organizing groups of orcs, preparing to assemble a large number of troops to fight the enemy.

After Richard led the troops to launch the attack, Viscount Roman, who was stationed at Graveson Castle, responded quickly and immediately gathered troops to cooperate with Richard in launching an encirclement and annihilation campaign.

After realizing that the war was unfavorable and that the flames in the camp were difficult to extinguish, the orc commander ordered the troops to set up an isolation zone and ordered the trebuchet troops to tighten the winches as quickly as possible, load stone bombs, and use trebuchets to block Luomen leaving the city. Viscount, killed and wounded the defenders of Graveson Castle.

Then he ordered the snakes and harpies to assemble and attack the army from Harland territory, playing almost all their trump cards, hoping to reduce the pressure on the camp and buy time for him to organize his soldiers.

Stone bullets continued to fall. Two hundred kilograms of stone bullets fell from the sky. Even high-level professionals did not dare to catch them forcefully.

Fortunately, the orcs cannot calculate ballistics and are not proficient in classical mechanics and ballistics. Their throwing accuracy is very poor and their speed is very slow.

Although the counterweight trebuchets are powerful and can throw stone projectiles weighing 200 kilograms, they also have obvious weaknesses. Their range is almost fixed. Even if the range is roughly changed by adjusting the winch and lever arm, there is no way to attack the target. enemies that are too close.

It has been six years since the counterweight trebuchet appeared in the war. As the first country to use the counterweight trebuchet, the Grant Kingdom is very familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of this weapon.

Seeing that a few rounds of stone bullets had caused more than a dozen casualties, Viscount Luomen kept urging the soldiers to speed up. After several rounds of stone bullets, although more than a hundred soldiers were killed, Viscount Luomen and the noble coalition also rushed through. reached the limit of the trebuchet's range.

Seeing Viscount Luomen and his soldiers, they were already less than a hundred meters away from the camp. The orc commander immediately ordered a group of personnel to resist Viscount Luomen.

Viscount Luomen seized the opportunity and cooperated very well with the soldiers of Harland Territory.

The appearance of the Graveson Castle garrison undoubtedly relieved the pressure on the Harland Territory army.

As soon as the eighty snake-like people were organized, the Warcraft Cavalry came around from the side and behind, controlled the iron horned horse and fired a hundred magic missiles at the snake-like people's formation.

Although the magic missile is a magic missile, one or two shots cannot kill a snake-shaped man. However, one hundred magic missiles hit the array of snakes, causing the loss of more than twenty snakes.

Such a dense amount of magic missiles left the snake-shaped man with no place to dodge.

After shooting a round of magic missiles, the Warcraft cavalry opened their bows and arrows, and fired a round of feather arrows at the snake-shaped man.

The Warcraft Cavalry is good at attacking fortresses and is very fast. The Iron Wildebeest mount also has a certain amount of magical lethality, and is very restrained against the army of Serpentine Professionals.

Although the Snake Man has strong close combat capabilities, he can also spray venom, and his mid-range lethality is also quite impressive. But he is very afraid of this fast and powerful opponent.

The Warcraft Cavalry bypassed the Snakehead array, and the first round of strikes resulted in the loss of more than thirty Snakeheads.

The snake-shaped man was determined to catch up with the Warcraft Cavalry, but his speed was too slow and he couldn't catch up with the Iron Horned Horse.

If the Warcraft Cavalry is left alone, the Warcraft Cavalry will still attack the back of the Snakeman when the Snakeman fights with the human infantry. For a time, the Snakeman becomes in a dilemma.

After discovering that there were Warcraft Cavalry in Harland Territory, the serpentine commander could only bite the bullet and hope to rush through the distance and engage in close combat with the soldiers in Harland Territory.

Once the two sides start fighting in hand-to-hand combat, in order to avoid hurting their own people, the threat of the Warcraft Cavalry to the Snakemen will be much weakened.

At the Graveson battlefield, the soldiers of Harland Territory joined forces with Viscount Romon, and their combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the two orc brigades.

Moreover, Richard also has Warcraft Cavalry under his command, and the soldiers are also equipped with a large number of enchanted armors and alchemy bombs.

Unless the orcs come out with surprise troops, they can regain some of their disadvantage.

But it was Richard who made the surprise attack. He took the soldiers from Harland Territory by surprise and killed hundreds of orc soldiers. The fire destroyed the orc camp, and the orcs were attacked from both sides, making it difficult to move.

When the situation reached this point, the orc commander weighed the pros and cons and decided to take the soldiers around him to kill the commander of the human army.

If Richard can be killed and the soldiers in Harland Territory collapse, there is still hope of winning this battle.

Unlike Duram who was killed by Richard, the orc commander in the direction of Graveson was only a sixth-level commander, and his official title was only a senior captain. His status was equivalent to that of Richard's defeated general Maruland.

He took the orc soldiers around him and rushed towards Richard without hesitation.

The main forces in Harland's territory have already started fighting the orcs. The only ones protecting Richard are the guard squadron, the first reconnaissance squadron, and the territory's mage group.

Richard carefully observed the battlefield and assessed the balance of power between the two sides.

Seeing the orc commander rushing over with his soldiers, he immediately raised the lightning staff. The magic power flowed in his body and a large amount of magic power was invested. In an instant, a huge lightning had condensed and formed.

As the magic power surged, the lightning became brighter and brighter, and the busy light of magic flashed slightly.

Lightning went straight to the orc captain.

Use the lightning staff to release lightning attribute magic, which increases the power by 50% and reduces the magic power consumed by 30%.

Richard invested ten points of mental power and used the lightning staff to release the lightning technique, which was more powerful than the ninth ring. Such powerful lethality is equivalent to a weakened version of legendary magic.

Even the eighth-level wild boar man Duram was killed by lightning, and the sixth-level orc captain was not spared at all.

Suddenly he was struck by a huge bolt of lightning and received a lunch box on the spot.

Richard led the reconnaissance squadron and the guard squadron to defeat the army led by the orc captain, successfully controlled the battlefield, cut off the orc captain's head, and hung it on a long wooden pole.

When the orc captain died, his head was hung up.

Such a tragic situation immediately broke the will of the orc soldiers.

Seeing that defeat had become a foregone conclusion, the remaining orc officers immediately made plans to retreat and break out of the encirclement.

As soon as the orcs withdrew, they were immediately defeated.

In a head-on battle, it is not easy to kill an orc. But as soon as the orcs escaped, they lost their organization and exposed their backs. It was quite easy to kill the orcs. As long as they shot a feather arrow, it was possible to kill the orc officer.

Richard and Viscount Luomen cooperated very well and dispersed the organized group of orcs. After chasing the orcs, the troops broke into the jungle, and then they cleaned the battlefield in the areas under their control.

Because the orcs had not yet invaded the Gedda Province, and the loot was pitiful, and they only captured more than 3,000 human slaves, Richard gave Viscount Luomen a thousand.

Counting the more than 4,000 human slaves rescued from the Depot, the population of Harland Territory has increased by 6,000 after this year's war.

The orc slaves were captured, the heads of the orc professionals were cut off, the snake scale armor was removed, the battlefield was cleaned, and the casualties were tallied.

This battle was fought beautifully, with no more than 200 casualties among the soldiers in Harland Territory, and only fifty killed.

Viscount Romain's coalition suffered slightly greater casualties due to being attacked by trebuchets, with a loss of 400 soldiers.

The aristocratic coalition forces in Geda Province annihilated two brigades of orcs at the cost of 600 soldiers, cut off more than 2,700 orc heads, and captured more than 700 orc prisoners. Only the orcs who escaped from the battlefield were More than six hundred.

Counting the defeated soldiers in the military station, there were more than 10,000 orcs in the five brigades, and there were less than 3,000 survivors.

These more than three thousand orcs have been reduced to frightened birds, scattered in a large forest, and are no longer considered a hidden danger.

If there is no long-term repair, according to the morale of these orcs, it is basically impossible to fight.

After cleaning the battlefield, Richard led the soldiers into Graveson Castle to rest for two days, and then returned to the Harland territory with the loot.

Before the orcs could reach Heihe, Richard used a boat to capture the orcs and send their heads to Fort Wright to ask for credit, and reported the details of the two battles.

Today's Kingdom Roger is a veteran who has participated in many wars. He can easily detect lies about his military exploits.

Moreover, the noble council dealt with false reports of military exploits very strictly.

Therefore, Richard's battle report was a straightforward narrative, telling the story of the war.

In this battle, Richard led the soldiers of Harland Territory and cooperated with Viscount Luomen to annihilate five large groups of orcs in two battles. He also killed the eighth-level wild boar deputy commander Duram and the sixth-level werewolf captain. Including the merits of killing low-level orc professionals, confirmed by the Gedda Province and the statistics of the Noble Council, a total of fourteen major merits and six medium merits were achieved.

The province of Geda had just won the battle, and bad news immediately spread. The orcs broke through the Earl of Martins again and flooded the Earl of Martins with as many as four main orc legions.

The new Count Martins was killed in battle, and the earldom fell again.

Even the Redemptor Legion stationed in the Earl of Martins was defeated by the orcs and lost more than half of its troops.
