"Haha, it's late, you are already too late!"
"The great General Callum and his warriors have annihilated all your weak armies!"
" Hahaha! "
The orc in front of him was extremely weak, and his eyes gradually lost their luster, but the words coming out of his mouth still contained a strong sense of irony.
Lester pulled out the sword from his body and kicked the opponent to the ground again.
The tall body lay limply on the ground, completely dead.
Auston Klein frowned.
“Although this guy speaks arrogantly, it gives me some bad premonitions.”
“Get on your horse and go to support His Highness immediately.”
Klein and Lai Ste led an army and quietly left the military camp before dawn.
They walked through winding and rugged mountain roads, passed through thorny forests, and finally made a roundabout way back behind the orc army after making a big circle.
The reconnaissance range of the orc scouts is very large, and the journey can be said to be both difficult and dangerous.
They were very lucky not to attract attention, and the main force of the enemy went to attack the main force of the Austrian army deployed in the valley.
According to the plan, this army will attack directly on the back of the orcs.
At the entrance to Sunset Valley, they encountered an enemy ranger used to guard the rear.
The Austrian army immediately launched an attack to eliminate the opponent, and only a few people escaped.
The enemy's dying mockery made them speed up.
Klein’s bad premonition soon came true. When they rushed to the battlefield panting, including men and horses, what they saw was a hellish scene.
The cavalry left wing and infantry phalanx composed of Blackstone supporting local troops have collapsed.
The flat ground in the center of the valley is full of Aldo sergeants running around. What is embarrassing is that there are many knights inside, and the orcs' light and heavy cavalry are chasing them like wolves chasing sheep. them.
This is an apt metaphor. Those Aldo soldiers who have lost their organization are really like lambs, unable to put up a decent resistance.
The number of the orc cavalry who were chasing them was actually not large, but they were killing prey that seemed to pose no threat to them as if they were playfully playing. Judging from their posture, they were really relaxed.
“Father in Heaven!”
Klein was stunned by the sight in front of him, praying to the Lord of Light over and over again that this was just a dream.
Before this, the worst scenario he could expect was that the Austrian army was suppressed by the orc cavalry, but the basic formation was still there, and then he would launch a joint attack after he arrived.
Now, joint attack can only be a joke.
"Your Highness is there!"
Lester beside him pointed to the distance!
Yes, and Her Highness Catherine.
Klein thought of the most important thing. If the dignified princess of the Aldo Kingdom died in the war with the orcs or... was captured... it would be unimaginable.
Following the direction of Lester's finger, Klein saw a group of Austrian troops surrounded by orc cavalry.
The flag of the Royal Capital Knights is still flying high in the formation.
Your Highness should be fine!
"The whole army listens to the order! Relieve our comrades immediately!"
This army with a total of 1,500 riders raised their hooves and tried their best to attack the besieged Royal Capital Knights. rushed away.
Callum immediately discovered this group of uninvited guests and waved his flag to mobilize troops to stop them.
But when the overall situation of victory has been stabilized, everyone is busy grabbing the spoils of war, or grabbing property, or catching defeated enemy soldiers who can be used as slaves.
Although Callum's army won the battle, it did not get rid of the various habits of the army of this era. In other words, it was precisely because they won the battle that they did so boldly.
This resulted in only scattered small-scale rangers that really came to encircle Klein's detachment, which did not cause much hindrance to their progress.
When approaching his besieged comrades, Klein could vaguely see the situation.
In addition to the Royal Capital Knights, there are also many sergeants from the Blackstone Plains. They should have gathered here after being defeated elsewhere.
Klein yelled: "Get ready to charge!"
Using almost all his strength.
This Aldo cavalry braked their horses and formed a neat and tight formation in a very short period of time.
There were three rows, each with five hundred riders.
The orc cavalry that besieged the Royal Capital Knights still maintained a strong sense of organization. When they saw a human cavalry coming from their side, they immediately detached a part of them to stop them.
Klein forced himself to calm down and gave the order in an orderly manner:
"Jog!"
The cavalry urged the horses to walk at a slow pace, as if they were moving. The three stone walls, even the smoke and dust rolled up, looked orderly.
"Run quickly!"
The war horse began to speed up, and the sound of horse hooves made a loud clatter.
"Sprint!"
The knights stretched out their weapons and controlled their mounts to start impacting at full speed. The three "walls" at the front and back began to deform and scatter, but generally they could still be seen as three Come in line.
They had just started to charge and immediately met the orc cavalry who came to stop them.
The two teams quickly came into contact with each other. There were not many scenes of war horses colliding with each other at high speed. In fact, just before the collision, one of the two horsemen going towards each other would often turn his horse's head immediately to avoid the collision. Start a head-on collision with the opponent.
Most of the killing moments occurred when the two sides passed each other. The human cavalry and the orc cavalry caused a lot of damage to each other. Many people unfortunately fell down and were trampled into meat pies by the horses' hooves.
The besieged Knights of the Royal Capital still maintain a high fighting spirit. Most of these knights, full of honor, come from aristocratic families. They have received high-intensity martial arts training since childhood, and are skilled in riding, fighting, and archery. If it doesn't fall, coupled with good armor equipment, its single combat effectiveness is still higher than that of the enemy.
Since being besieged, they have repelled countless waves of attacks.
The orcs had no choice but to rain down waves of arrows. Naturally, the Royal Capital Knights would not sit still and wait for death, and also used bows and arrows to fight back.
"Klein, Lester!"
Having prepared for a breakout, Catherine, who was preparing to personally lead the troops as a forward, discovered the detour detachment that had finally arrived, and understood the other party's intention to rescue her.
With joy in her heart, she immediately changed the direction of the attack and turned towards the troops who came to relieve the siege.
Everyone was ready and clenched their weapons.
“Kill!”
With an order, the horn sounded.
A large number of war horses charge together. Although they are not in any formation, they are still full of impact.
The Klein side also stepped up its assault.
The orcs were attacked from two directions, and a gap was opened unexpectedly in the encirclement.
After a period of fighting, the two kingdom armies finally caught up and merged into one.
"It seems that there are the fewest enemies in the northwest, go there!"
Katherine immediately agreed with Klein's suggestion.
While most of the enemy troops were looting and chasing down the defeated troops, the Royal Capital Knights retreated while fighting, finally escaping from this hell.
