Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 470: Prelude
Northern Jungle
Near Cave Mountain, a moderate battle is going on.
Compared with the strength of the orcs on the front line of Watch City, the orcs here seem to have been forgotten. Sean is guarding the Wild Stone City because the high-level troops led by Richard have extremely high mobility. There is still an information time lag here. Now Sean only wants to defend the front line of Barren Rock City from being broken through again by humans. It is basically impossible to send troops to Yandong Mountain.
The 3,000 remnant army led by Orc Banner Leader Qi Erwei finally couldn't hold on after Elena and Gru came back with the system army.
Originally, after Richard left with the system army, Qi Erwei and his 3,000 remnant troops caused a lot of trouble to the Northern Route Army who stayed in Yandong Mountain. They are familiar with the terrain, and their individual combat capabilities are higher than those of ordinary soldiers of the Northern Route Army. Without the support of Gru and the system soldiers led by him, in small-scale conflicts, the human soldiers of the Northern Route Army are really not orc warriors. opponent.
Fortunately, the Northern Route Army had strong troops. Richard did not mobilize any of the 100,000-strong army. They all stayed in Yandong Mountain to set up defenses. Although Qi Erwei and his men caused some trouble to the soldiers of the Northern Route Army who stayed behind, it was difficult for them to do so. There was no substantial progress. Although Alsi and others who stayed behind were not as good as those system generals under Richard, they were still qualified generals and did not give Chilwei too many opportunities.
During this period of time, Qi'erwei has at most carried out sneak attacks to gain some advantage, and played hide-and-seek with the Northern Route Army's troops in the woods. Perhaps Qi'erwei is still holding back some big moves, but now But there is no chance to use it anymore.
Since the heroes such as Elena and Gru came back with the system army, Qilwei, the lone army in the woods, once again fell into a situation of being passively beaten. Compared with the numbers, the North Route Army gathered a hundred thousand troops. , compared with the quality, the earth-level troops of the system were all in double digits, and there were also sky-level leaders. The remaining orc army led by Qi Erwei had no resistance at all, and most of the army was lost in a few days.
"Master Flag Captain! You can't get out from the north. There are all humans over there. There are at least tens of thousands of humans blocking the way to the north."
"Damn! Where is Ur?"
"Lord Ur did not retreat and was hacked to death by several human armored knights."
The so-called armored knights are naturally the crusaders in the system army. This siege was personally commanded by Gru. The Northern Route Army sent 50,000 troops to help. With the cooperation of the unicorn holy beast and various system armies, this siege was finally put down. The slippery orc army was forced into a desperate situation.
"General Qilwei! Those unicorns rushed over from the west again. The three groups in the west were all wiped out. The human army behind them was pressing up. There was only a gap between those unicorns and us. The forest is gone!”
Qier frowned slightly, thinking hard about the next countermeasures. Even with his firm will and flexible mind, he felt a little depressed at this time. The other party was really too inappropriate.
Not only was the commander highly skilled, but he also used his absolute strength to bully others and forced them into a desperate situation in the forest. Qi Erwei had a premonition that this level might be difficult to pass.
However, until the last moment, Qilwei still refused to admit defeat and still planned to make a final effort.
"Order the troops to abandon the west and north and break out to the south!"
"Yes, General!"
As Qilwei's order was issued, the remaining orc army of less than a thousand people completely shrunk and began to flee southward.
On the other side of the forest, Gru held his hands and looked at the fighting ahead from a distance.
"Lord Gru, the remaining orc army has begun to flee south."
"Yeah"
Gru nodded, without giving any instructions, as if his work had already been done.
South
Qi Erwei led the remaining less than a thousand remnant troops and finally relied on their understanding of the terrain to escape the pursuit of the Northern Route Army and arrived at an open space.
"Finally got rid of the pursuers."
"Sir Qi'erwei, the soldiers are all a little tired at this time. Why don't you take a rest on the spot?"
Qilwei did not answer immediately. Although he lost his troops, he still instinctively felt that the human commander on the opposite side could not let him get away so easily. This was not like the opponent's level.
After carefully observing the surrounding terrain, a strong sense of crisis surged into my heart. The surrounding area was so empty, how could I escape to such a place.
"No rest allowed, order the soldiers to get up immediately and leave here!"
Chilvi, who smelled danger, decisively ordered the remaining orc soldiers to take action, but it was still a little late.
"Da, da, da..."
"Kill!"
This is one of the few places in the northern dense forest that is suitable for cavalry operations. In order to completely wipe out this remnant orc army, Gru deliberately commanded the army to force Qilvi into this open space. Elena and Ta Reese and other heroes have been waiting here with their people for a long time.
When the figures of the champion knights appeared one after another, Qi Erwei already knew in his heart that it was completely over this time. He scattered and escaped in the forest. Maybe some warriors had a chance to escape the encirclement. In this open space If you are entangled with humans, it may be difficult for any one to escape.
Of course, the surrounding orc soldiers also heard the hoofbeats of the champion knight. The orc soldiers who were sitting on the ground also stood up in a hurry with their weapons, but most of them had a look of panic on their faces.
"Get ready to fight!"
"Fight with humans!"
Because it was a racial war, the fighting will of both sides was very tenacious. If not for this, the nearly collapsed orc army that was being hunted would have collapsed long ago.
Now, under the command of the officer, they picked up their weapons and hurriedly organized their formation, preparing for the final resistance.
Qilwei also knew that the last moment had arrived, so he raised his ax with his own soldiers and prepared for the last fight.
"Da, da, da..."
The champion knights are getting closer and closer, but it is not these champion knights that hurt the orcs first, but several constantly beating arcs.
Somra released three chain lightnings and entered the orc team before the two sides came into contact.
The power of chain lightning was even difficult for warrior-level orcs to withstand. Basically, one orc fell down with just one jump. In less than ten seconds, more than fifty orc warriors landed directly on the ground.
Fortunately, these orcs had fought against the Northern Route Army so many times that they no longer had the initial panic about the chain lightning. In other words, most of them were already determined to die. After three chain lightning strikes, After hundreds of orc warriors felled, there was no large-scale escape. Instead, they raised their weapons and faced the champion knight who was charging forward.
"Boom!"
Under the leadership of Taris, more than 20 champion knights and the remnants of the orcs collided fiercely.
As expected, this cavalry, all of which possess high-level strength from the earth, easily broke through the orcs' already loose formation.
Because they were fighting in the forest, these orc warriors were not even equipped with lances. The champion knight who rushed into the enemy group did not even use a lance, but directly raised the knight's sword in his hand to kill.
Some orc soldiers gathered around, holding battle axes and making humming sounds in their noses. It was obvious that these mourning soldiers had gone crazy and wanted to use their numerical advantage to surround and kill one or two champion knights, but The strength gap between the two sides is too great.
The champion knight even deliberately let himself fall into the enemy group. When the surrounding orcs gathered around him, he suddenly released his fighting spirit and easily killed seven or eight surrounding orc warriors with a few blows of fighting spirit.
"Kill!"
"Cang!"
After the champion knight disrupted the orcs' line with a crushing attitude, the snake monsters that followed closely behind also joined the battle. The basic combat power of these snake monsters was even higher than that of the champion knight, with six arms waving. Snake demons armed with different weapons can create a metal storm in the orc battle group. With fewer enemies and more enemies, they are better at it than the champion knights.
"Lord Qilwei, I can't stand it anymore, run away!"
"Run, where else are you going?"
Qi Erwei glanced around, and saw that human soldiers were surrounding them in a steady stream. Those strong men, each with the strength of a legion commander, were really madly killing their own soldiers. They walked out of the dense forest. He sent himself to the end of the world.
"Attack with me!"
"Kill!"
"Chi!"
…
On the ground, there were nearly a thousand corpses of orc warriors piled densely. This battle ended quickly. Several heroes took action together, and with the cooperation of system soldiers and North Route Army soldiers, it was a complete bullying. Human asymmetric combat, for system heroes, a battle of this intensity can only be regarded as a small game after the war.
In the end, Elena personally held the sword and fought into the orcs, ending Qilvi's life and completely settling the battle.
"Lady Elena, this time we annihilated more than 960 orcs. Looking at the armor, the orc general you killed should be their flag commander. This should be the last remaining orc army in the forest. ."
"Well, take care of the wounded soldiers, tidy up the battlefield, and meet back at Yandong Mountain."
"Yes, General Elena!"
Working with the heroes and troops of the system, there are also ordinary soldiers of the Northern Route Army. Only by fully utilizing them can Gru have such sufficient troops to completely surround this remnant orc army in the woods. After the battle, they are basically responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.
…
Yandong Mountain
After completely eliminating the remaining orc army, Richard's heroes and the generals of the North Route Army gathered together.
While Richard was away, Elena took the main seat. Although Gru should be ranked above Elena in terms of strength, Gru is not suitable to take charge of the overall situation due to personality issues, and is more suitable as a An executor, so Richard still handed over the overall command to Elena.
"According to Lord Richard's order, after clearing out the remnants of the orcs in the dense forest, the Northern Route Army immediately abandoned Yandong Mountain and retreated to the front line of Dragon Scale Castle."
"This? We finally took Cave Mountain."
After Elena gave the order, the system heroes did not react at all, but Alsi and other Northern Route Army generals were still a little hard to understand. They finally got Cave Mountain and regained control of the northern dense forest. How could they suddenly It's about to be handed over to others.
"This is what Mr. Richard meant. The war on Mr. Saul's side is not going well. We must prepare for the worse."
"It doesn't matter if Cave Mountain is given to the orcs, we can get it back easily if we want."
As soon as Elena finished speaking, Arcee stopped raising questions. If there was really a problem with the army in the middle, Longxing Pass would most likely be breached, and they would be trapped in Cave Mountain instead. into trouble. Besides, since this is Richard's order, they should also implement it.
"If there is no problem, everyone will prepare immediately after returning, and the army will withdraw to Dragon Scale Castle as soon as possible."
"Yes, Lady Elena!"
…
On the other side, Richard returned to Thor's army with the Holy Dragon and three newly recruited golden dragons.
"Roar!"
Seeing several more giant dragons fall into the camp, the soldiers cheered unconsciously, which finally boosted their morale a little. Thor, who heard the movement in the tent, summoned Richard Entered the tent.
"Lord Thor!"
After entering the big tent, Richard still saluted Sol politely, but he didn't have the same formality as before.
Thor stood in the middle of the tent, already wearing armor and a sword, looking like he was about to go into battle.
Seeing Richard enter the big tent, Thor didn't ask what Richard had done, let alone where the new dragon came from, he went straight to the topic from the beginning:
"The orcs ahead have begun to launch tentative attacks. Those white dragons still need to be dealt with by you."
"I can only try my best."
Li Cha didn’t dare to speak his mind fully, so he could only say that he would do his best.
"Okay! Heaven will leave it to you."
If other generals had dared to have this attitude when facing Sol's orders, I am afraid that Sol would have been dissatisfied, but Richard's attitude was enough in Sol's opinion.
…
"The orcs are coming!"
"Get ready to fight!"
Suddenly there was a loud alarm in the camp, and the orcs were ready to launch an attack.
Richard came back just in time...
…
