The King

  Chapter 183 Peak Showdown

   "Guards, order the whole army to prepare for war."

   "Bear Stearns, let's go and have a look."

   While speaking, Hudson had already pulled the cub out of his sleep.

  Ignoring Bear Stearns' resentful eyes, he urged Uncle Xiong to set off in the direction directed by the scouts.

  Leaving the army behind to go to the front line to investigate in person, Hudson had no choice but to do so.

   When encountering elite orcs, ordinary scouts simply don't have the ability to investigate at close range.

  The bear stretched its paws, and a five-meter-tall giant bear appeared.

  Seeing this flamboyant scene, Hudson rolled his eyes and jumped up.

   I don't know where I learned the bad habits, and Bear Stearns has become more and more pretentious.

  Even though he can control his size, he still likes to appear in front of people as a giant bear.

   It's like the exclamation of the crowd, it's a wonderful piece of music.

  The officers and soldiers of the Wright County Legion have seen a lot, and they have immunity in their hearts.

  The Moxi people who were traveling with them were different. They all had dumbfounded expressions, followed by exclamations.

  The flying bear with its feet on the air has blinded the eyes of countless people.

   Hudson corrected the ground turtle's flying appearance more than once. It's a pity that Bear Stearns insisted that it was running, not flying.

  Before everyone came back to their senses, the figures of one person and one bear had disappeared into the sky.

  In an instant, he appeared at the place where the traces of the orc army were found.

  The original giant bear was shrunk down into a miniature version again, leaving Hudson's figure in the air, as if he was volleying against the wind.

  If you see this scene without knowing it, you will definitely exclaim—"Sky Knight".

  Looking down at the orc army below, Hudson couldn't help scolding Bear Stearns for being unreliable deep in his heart.

  The promised secret investigation has now become a patrol.

  Glaring at the innocent Bear Stearns, Hudson could only forcefully quell his anger.

   There is no way, bears have different concepts from people.

   Relying on Bear Stearns' gravity magic, walking in the air is actually a kind of enjoyment.

  If it wasn't for this accident, Hudson wouldn't even have known about the cub's manipulation of the gravity field to this point.

   It can only be said that Xiongxin is not ancient.

   It turned out that Bear Stearns was the first to show off any new magic or new gameplay.

   Now, even if Hudson asked, it would be perfunctory.

   He almost said: I am a useless bear, don't come to me if you have anything to do.

  Being so lazy, he has become the top powerhouse in the mainland. This shattered Hudson's lemon heart into pieces.

  Thinking that he practiced hard every day and dared not stop for a day, but he was still dangling on the threshold of the great knight.

   Don't think about it, it's important to get down to business now.

   Immediately released a mist magic, enveloping one person and one bear.

   Looking from a distance, it looks like a dark cloud floating in the sky.

   Patroling the orc army all the way, Hudson's heart was tense and exciting.

  In the chaotic team, there are tauren, cat people, Colinbus... all kinds of messy races.

   It wasn't until a banner with a **** wolf's head appeared that Hudson raised his vigilance.

  Ordinary wolf cavalry are not terrible, and their combat effectiveness is not much higher than that of humans. What is terrifying is the orc royal family - the Silver Moon Wolf Clan.

  The judging method is very beastly, just look at the body shape.

  Ordinary werewolf soldiers are only 1.56 meters; Yinyue wolves start at 2 meters, and some burly soldiers can even reach 3 meters.

  Comparing the size, you can know the strength of the Yinyue Wolf Clan.

  The only thing to be thankful for is that the number of Silver Moon wolves is rare, and their reproduction pattern is different from that of ordinary races, but evolved from ordinary werewolves.

  This kind of awakening is purely luck. Even if the parents are from the Silver Moon Wolf Clan, most of the offspring will be ordinary werewolves.

  Most of the time, the Silver Moon Werewolf appeared as a commander, just like the alpha wolf among wolves.

   After a rough calculation of the number of wolf cavalry, there are more than 5,000 people. Hudson knows that this battle is inevitable.

  At this moment, the distance between the two armies is less than ten miles, and there are so many fast wolf cavalry on the other side, it is almost impossible to avoid them.

  The total strength of the orc army in front of us is less than 20,000. Even if there are a small number of elite orcs, the two sides are still worthy of a battle.

   If you lead the army to run away now, you will be chased by the orc army. I'm afraid it will directly evolve into a big rout.

   After inspecting a radius of dozens of miles, no trace of other orc troops was found, and Hudson returned directly to the camp.

  …

   "Dear Viscount Hudson, what is the strength of the orc army ahead?"

   Raquel asked nervously.

   Suffered a round of beatings by orcs, the nobles of the Principality of Moxi almost became frightened birds, because they turned pale when they heard the orcs.

   "Don't worry, there are less than 20,000 orcs in front of the army. It is worth noting that there are mainly 5,000 wolf cavalry. The rest of the ethnic army is very chaotic.

  Perhaps some races have good individual combat effectiveness, but individual strength cannot play a big role in melee combat.

  I inspected in the past, and the fortress on the front line has not fallen.

   This team should have bypassed the fortress and forced their way in from other areas. "

   Hudson said pretending to be relaxed.

  Nominally, the coalition army has 30,000 soldiers and horses, a solid force advantage.

   In fact, his Wrightshire Army was the only one worthy of the battle.

  As for the improvised team of the Moxi people, in Hudson's view, it was just used to fill up the number of people.

   It’s just these words, there’s no problem thinking about it. Saying it out would be too emotionally illicit.

   No matter how poor the fighting power of the allies is, there are still 10,000 people.

   If you really can't fight, you have to run away, which is also a good meat shield.

  The calm performance failed to appease the soldiers. Especially after hearing the five thousand wolf cavalry, it caused an uproar.

  The nobles in Wright County are okay. They are used to seeing orc slaves, so they don't have much fear in their hearts.

  Some nobles from the North have already begun to use their rich combat experience to think about countermeasures.

  The second generation of the Moxi Principality will not work.

   They were dawdlers with little ability, but after hearing the news about the orc army, they all panicked.

  Seeing this scene, Hudson also became angry, and immediately reprimanded:

   "Quiet me up!

  This is a military camp, not a vegetable market, anyone who continues to make noise will get out of here!

  Since you don’t have a strategy in mind, please follow the command quietly.

  In this battle, the Wrightshire Army is in charge of confronting the enemy. You lie in ambush a mile away, and come out to flank the opponent when you receive the signal.

   Send down the order to let all the ministries find favorable terrain to form formations and wait for the orc army to come!

  All the cavalry gather and follow me. "

   Hudson said indifferently.

  With the terrain of Pingchuan, it is extremely difficult to play tactics.

  In order to prevent the rout from attacking the army formation, Hudson could only keep the army of the Principality of Moxi outside the battlefield.

  The so-called ambush is purely for comfort.

   Without terrain cover, no matter how tens of thousands of horses can hide, they will inevitably be discovered.

  The infantry phalanx can only withstand the enemy's attack. If you want to deal with the enemy's wolf cavalry, you still have to rely on cavalry.

   Gather all the cavalry in the two teams, a total of more than a thousand people.

   Facing five thousand wolf cavalry head-on, there was almost no chance of winning, and Hudson's brain was already working quickly.

  …

   "Patriarch, there is a large army of people in front of us blocking our way, and the number of people is tens of thousands.

  The enemy is very vigilant, and our people lost more than a dozen scouts as soon as they approached for investigation. "

  After hearing what his subordinates said, the old man was instantly furious.

  The soldiers who can act as scouts are all elite wolves.

   Losing more than a dozen people and only getting a vague piece of information, it is really a blood loss.

   "They're all **** Ying people, isn't it because everyone's strategy is at odds, and they didn't even provide us with information, and they just wanted to make a fool of my wolf clan.

   Just wait, I will settle this account with them after this battle! "

  Looking at the group of people who were standing still, the old man couldn't help but reprimanded:

   "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and organize an attack!

  Don’t forget our mission, we can’t just give up because of a sudden appearance of a human army, right? "

  Dare to be so reckless, the old man also has confidence.

  The main force of the Principality of Moxi is mostly concentrated in the fortresses on the front line, and there are very few elites in the rear.

   What's more, with the mobility of wolf cavalry, as long as they are not under siege. Even if you can't beat the enemy, you can still run.

  Strategy and tactics, for the patriarch of an ordinary tribe, the distance is too far.

  According to the experience of previous battles, they always went directly forward.

   This set of superficial tactics can win most of the time. Even if you fail, you can get out of your body.

   There has been no accident, otherwise the old man would not be alive now.

  The internal competition of the orc empire is far more intense than that of the human nations. In order to compete for resources, the battle between tribes almost never stops.

  The cruel internal struggle is also the main driving force for the orcs to invade the south.

  …

  In a short time, a simple temporary camp was set up.

  While quietly waiting for the enemy to come to the door, Hudson also picked out soldiers who were good at riding and shooting, and equipped them with arrows.

   How to play riding and shooting tactics, Hudson has no experience to learn from, so he can only **** for it by himself.

  In the context of the huge disparity in the number of cavalry, there is no chance of winning head-on, so we can only find another way.

  The wolf cavalry moves fast, and the corresponding defense is not much higher.

  Wolf cavalry mounts are ferocious, but their waist is the biggest shortcoming. If you put on heavy armor, the wolf warrior will be useless before going to the battlefield.

  When choosing wolf cavalry, not only must they have strong combat effectiveness, but also the size of the soldiers.

  The burly fat man was riding on the back of the war wolf, and the mount was tired and fell down in a short time.

   Only a small number of evolved giant wolves can carry the load.

   This high-end mount is exclusive to the Silver Moon Wolf Clan, a proper wolf noble.

"coming."

   Hudson stood up, looked at the orc army appearing in the sky, and suddenly had a strange idea.

   If you rush over with the cavalry now and disperse the group of orc miscellaneous soldiers, will the opponent be scared away?

   After a little thought, Hudson gave up the idea.

   Elites are all made by fighting, and this orc army in front of us is just right for gaining experience.

   Besides, as a general, now he also needs military exploits.

   Showing the enemy's weakness and luring the enemy to come over and give away his head is more meaningful than scaring away the enemy.

   Watching the enemy soldiers pressing down on the border, Hudson was not idle.

   Immediately, he took out his elven bow, and then drew out four arrows the size of short spears, and shot towards the leader of the orc army.

   After a bang, the four unlucky ones fell down. But the arrow didn't stop, and continued to sprint forward, followed by a few more unlucky ones.

  In the brutal orc army, the soldiers of the vassal races were injured almost equal to death.

  With a sudden blow, the orc army, which was originally full of murderous aura, suddenly became slightly chaotic.

  Having no time to pay attention to the reaction of the orc army, Hudson placed four more arrows on the bow and shot again.

   Repeated several times in a row, the orc leaders who were leading the battle were so frightened that they restrained themselves one after another, fearing that they would become the next unlucky one.

  The dazzling record made all the soldiers of the Wright County Legion cheer.

  I don't know who got the lead, countless soldiers shouted together: "Knight of the Divine Bow!"

  The originally tense war atmosphere was instantly dissipated, and morale was mobilized all of a sudden.

  Compared to the orc army, it is gloomy at the moment.

   Realizing that something was wrong with the Wolf Clan officer, he immediately ordered: "Sharp Archer, fight back!"

  The centaur archer who came out of the team in response, set up his bow and arrow, and then stopped again.

  This distance has exceeded their longest range. There is no point in counterattacking except wasting precious arrows.

   But at such a moment, these exposed archers have become Hudson's targets.

   Facing the flying arrows, everyone was so frightened that they rushed to intercept them.

   There was a "bang", and the arrows of the two sides collided in the air.

  Peak duel, but unfortunately the situation is one-sided.

  After defeating the intercepted arrows, the arrows fired by Hudson still hit the target, and the three centaur archers and one unlucky guy fell to the ground in close proximity.

  The blocking just now was not in vain, the power of the arrow was weakened a lot, and he didn't continue to gallop on the battlefield after hitting the target.

   Hudson was also secretly surprised by the scene in front of him. There is actually someone in the orc army who can stop an arrow with one shot, a proper marksman!

  It's a pity that these centaur marksmen were unlucky and encountered enemies who cheated.

  He felt sorry for his opponent, but he didn't stop working.

   The sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." arrows piercing the air became a nightmare for the orc army.

  The enemy has not touched it yet, but his own people lose a piece first.

  The leader of the wolf tribe who received the message, in a rage, ordered angrily:

   "The enemy has only one sharpshooter, and he has already shot so many arrows, he won't last long.

  The whole army launches a charge, tear up the scraps of these human races for me! "

  The horn of the charge sounded, and the officer who gave the order accidentally exposed himself. Just a few steps forward with the army, he was taken away by an arrow that pierced through the air.

   Spray it, the level of war plot is limited.

   Thank you for this leader who can't lose his dream, I owe you +1. When Haiyue's code word speed improves, she will definitely return it.
