Chapter 700 Aldo
“Ha! Are those the so-called Northwesters? Or rather, the Ardas? Yes, they are indeed a completely different human army!”
Callum, the commander of the Orcs' Western Expedition, put his hand on his forehead, and all his attention was drawn to the neat rows of soldiers in the middle of the Austrian army.
“Look, they stand really upright, and their temperament is just like the honor guards in a human palace.”
The orc general licked his lips, and then let out a sneer. .
"I just don't know if their combat prowess can be as impressive as their gestures."
The subordinates behind them also burst out laughing, and most of them thought that This will be an ordinary battle.
The army of the grasslands will crush the enemies in front of them and take the entire northwest land of Aldo into their hands.
Callum continued to turn his back to his subordinates. Out of sight of everyone, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
As a general who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has rich combat experience, he can intuitively feel the extraordinaryness of the army in front of him.
Unlike the friendly troops on both wings who were dressed in miscellaneous attire, the Gulf people's clothing styles were simple and uniform. Perhaps it wouldn't make much sense to pick out one of them individually, but when these soldiers stood neatly in a row, several When the platoon of soldiers stood neatly in a square formation again, a silent power burst out.
Callum did not underestimate this sudden appearance of human reinforcements from the beginning. He listened carefully to Amul's description of the battle of Silvermoon Castle and knew that the Arda people had terrible threats. Weapons, strict discipline, and strong combat effectiveness.
The pretense of relaxation just now was just to boost morale, but Callum also believed in the soldiers under his command. They would despise the enemy, but would not let this contempt affect their performance.
The orc commander raised his arm high and swung it down like a knife.
“Kill them!”
Woo——!
The loud horn sound suddenly echoed in the wilderness.
The already excited war horses finally heard the long-awaited signal. The owner shook the reins with high fighting spirit, and immediately spread their hooves and ran towards the enemy on the opposite side. Under the control, they did not run wildly, but jogged in a small step-like manner to maintain enough physical strength for the final charge.
Whoosh! A large number of horse hooves began to trample the ground, and the dense sound was like countless hands slapping the water.
The Orcs launched the first wave of offensive, with ten thousand cavalry as the main force attacking the infantry phalanx in the center of the Austrian army, while another five thousand cavalry were distributed on the left and right wings to attack in a coordinated manner to contain the same deployment of the Austrian army. The cavalry on the left and right wings.
From the perspective of the Austrian army, the cavalry on the opposite side began to move with the sound of the horn. At first, they didn't feel anything. Gradually, dust began to fly in the distance. As the distance between the two sides became closer, the image of the enemy gradually became clearer in the field of vision. Countless people The horses formed a dark mass, and the dust was thrown up into the sky like a sandstorm, shadowy, and there were countless enemies hidden inside.
From top to bottom, most of the Arda army faced this kind of scene for the first time. Although they often received courage training to face cavalry, such a huge momentum had never been seen before. Pass.
Uneasiness began to appear among the soldiers and spread quickly. Officers at all levels did their best to motivate their subordinates, although they themselves were uneasy in their hearts.
In a slightly higher place at the back, Paul swallowed. His heart was tightened by fear, his whole body was stiff, and he could hardly breathe.
Maybe he shouldn't have come to this place - this timid thought even crossed his mind.
I may end up in this place...
At this moment, his left and right shoulders were pressed gently at almost the same time. Two different touches were transmitted to him, one was a soft warmth, A soothing coolness.
The fear in my heart was instantly dispelled, it was amazing.
He looked to his left in surprise. His mother, Mariana, was staring at him with confidence in her eyes, "I can at least guarantee that my child will be fine."
"Uh...thank you. ." Paul turned his eyes to the right again, and the green-haired witch met his eyes and nodded encouragingly.
Maybe they did something to themselves, was it magic? In any case, a feeling gradually rose in Paul's heart - confidence!
"Schroeder!"
Paul called to his field commander.
"Lord Graiman, what are your orders?" Schroeder, who was concentrating on calculating the charging distance of the orcs, looked at him.
"I want to shout to the entire army!"
In the neat formation, Private Jose West felt that his bladder was going to explode. The unprecedented large-scale cavalry offensive made him want to urinate.
Hell, I shouldn’t have drank so much water before the assembly.
“Look guys, our artillery will open fire soon and blow these guys to pieces!”
The instructor’s vibrato shouting had no effect, many The hand holding the gun was shaking slightly.
"Shh! Don't make a sound." The company commander not far away suddenly reminded, "There is a signal coming!"
"Brothers! An order from Count Grayman... no, a message!"
A high-pitched voice suddenly sounded, and the signal soldier who had just put down his telescope shouted excitedly.
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened.
“Aldo expects everyone to fulfill their duties!”
He shouted the words at the top of his lungs.
For a time, some kind of emotion arose in everyone's chest, almost squeezing fear out of their bodies.
Through the semaphore, Paul's words were quickly conveyed to all human officers and soldiers, not just the army of Arda.
Almost everyone has some image in their mind.
Small smoke, plump ears of wheat, prosperous markets, playing children, kind parents, beloved girls... there are many, but they are all very everyday scenes.
Now, these commonplace things have become so precious, and a heavy sense of responsibility suddenly weighs on everyone's shoulders.
Don't back down, crush these hairy bastards and make them regret setting foot on Aldo soil.
Yes, not only the Northwest Bay, not only the Black Stone Land, not only the Loess Plains and the Giant Elephant Fields.
But the whole Aldo!
These big soldiers from different places, most of them left their hometown for the first time. If it weren't for the invasion of orcs, they would work silently in the fields. The farthest place they have ever been in their lives is where the lord is. In these towns, you can only hear bards singing distant stories when you go to the market. For them, Aldo is an extremely rare concept. Country and honor are things that only nobles and knights can talk about. Just take care of one-third of an acre of land yourself.
But now, facing a common enemy, and this enemy is a foreign race that looks completely different from themselves, the same seed is planted in everyone's heart.
“Aldo expects everyone to do their job!”
Paul’s words allowed the seed to take root and sprout.
We are us and they are them.
