Chapter 671 Encounter!
While chatting all the way, after walking a certain distance towards the north, the road ahead gradually became undulating and rugged.
The mages began to use earth spells to open a path ahead.
At a certain moment, a series of mountains came into view.
Immediately afterwards, the army was divided into five parts in an orderly manner and moved forward along five different routes.
Following the central team, while marching forward, Mr. Mesa explained:
“The orc fortresses are inside this mountain range.
Because the army has too many people, If we act together, the team will be too long, which is not conducive to dealing with the orcs' raids.
So next, we will divide into five parts along the route determined by the scouts and support each other all the way. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, far ahead of his field of vision, an orange-yellow signal arrow rose into the sky against the gray fog of war.
——This means that the scout team encountered a certain number of enemies.
Because the situation was not urgent, the army continued to advance at a steady pace.
Not long after, Mr. Mesa, who received the news, used a blank screen to explain the situation:
“Just now, the scout team in front of the army discovered a group of wild boars.
Now it has been defeated by the cavalry team that we supported.
They were supposed to be an orc scouting party.
Judging from previous intelligence, we are now very close to the orc fortresses.
We may encounter enemies at any time. ”
Hearing this.
Everyone’s spirits were lifted a little.
Lord Claude asked:
"Brand, can the framework of the giant knight-like mage group you tested two days ago be put into actual combat now?"
Hear it Regarding this question, Brand nodded and said:
“Of course it is no problem to put it into actual combat.
But that is a method we designed specifically to target the Titan Orcs with physical tendencies.
If it is an ordinary big orc, the phoenix form is more useful.
Also, that is not a giant knight, its name is the Earth Knight! "
Hearing the name Earth Knight, I recalled the dark gold body of the Giant Knight composed of magic power and earth elements.
Master Claude smiled and said:
"The name Earth Knight is quite appropriate! ”
Mr. Holland said:
“Judging from the situation in the previous test, the power of your earth knight is not far different from the power of the white lion man before.
In If you use the knight's secret skills, there should be no problem in confronting the Titan Orcs for a period of time, but you must be careful of attacks from other enemies.
The huge body will certainly bring strength, but it will also make it easier to become an enemy. Target, especially in such a relatively chaotic large-scale battlefield."
Brand also nodded to understand the reminder from Mr. Holland.
In his mind, if the enemy is not strong enough, then the merit will come to him and be put into his pocket.
And if the enemy is very strong, then they can consider running away!
While chatting, the army was gradually moving deeper into the mountains.
The orange-yellow signal arrows flying into the sky became more and more frequent. For safety reasons, the army slowed down.
After half a day of slow marching, when we were close to the edge of the gray fog of war, suddenly bright red signal arrows rose into the sky one after another.
A large-scale encounter slowly began.
Under the investigation of the mages of the surrounding legions:
One after another, the tall orcs took the lead, leading the groups of orc warriors wearing armor behind them from the gray fog of war. They walked out and surrounded them from all directions!
After learning of this situation, the commanders of each legion quickly ordered the soldiers to form formations on the spot and prepare to face the enemy.
Not giving them much time.
Under the leadership of each big orc, the orc army quickly arrived!
The battle between the two sides broke out in an instant!
It is worth mentioning that:
Although there are already legions in many areas who are in close combat with the orcs. However, Brand and others, who were in the relatively central position of the five-way army, did not have much sense of reality.
When the bright red signal arrows rose into the sky one after another.
Their pioneering army is located at the waist of a snow-capped mountain, not far from the top of the mountain.
After Master Mesa communicates with the legion commanders and temporary liaison personnel of other legions through the legion commander's dedicated magic communication network.
Everyone learned the specific situation from his mouth:
“The orc army has cut off our retreat, and they are now surrounding us from all directions.
Since the number of enemies is unknown, we will first adopt a defensive approach.
The outer legions will unite with each other to resist the first few attacks of the orcs.
As for our legions in the central area, we have deployed fortifications on the spot.
If there are many orcs and are very strong, the peripheral legions will gradually retreat and move closer to our position. ”
After briefly describing the current situation.
Lord Mesa issued instructions one after another to the senior leaders of their legion through the communication network built by the military mage.
Under the instructions of Lord Mesa, the soldiers quickly began to transform the snowy mountain where they were located with the assistance of the accompanying mage and three mage groups.
Not long after, various temporary fortifications were built and war weapons were erected.
A simple snow mountain fortress is gradually taking shape!
Brand's side, after helping the Legion soldiers build some defenses.
Because the subsequent construction tasks were taken over by Claude and the Cecil Mage Group.
They maintained the magic resonance and came to the snow-capped mountains in a floating attitude to observe the current battle situation.
At this time, Mr. Holland was patrolling high places with the knights.
Looking around.
Other surrounding legions in the central area are also building defenses at various locations in this cold mountain range.
Groups of high-level military armed forces and strong knights were also observing the battle situation from high places like them.
And the field of view is further away from the ground area.
Magic, elements, life fighting spirit and will power are constantly intertwined.
——The ground troops of both sides are fighting fiercely!
Looking up to high places in the distance, there are also hawks and large orcs walking in the sky emerging from the gray fog of war.
Correspondingly, the powerful and high-level military armed forces of our own army near the edge also swept into the sky one by one, one after another.
——The local battlefield tends to be chaotic and disorderly, but the macro battlefield has a wonderful order!
Because this is the first time to participate in such a large-scale battle.
Regarding the development of the current war situation, Brand cast an inquiring look at Mr. Holland on the side.
Because I also know that my second son does not have much military literacy, and it is also the first time to participate in such a large-scale war.
So Mr. Holland spoke briefly to Brand about the current situation:
“Because our scouts discovered the enemy’s arrival, they gave the army some time to prepare.
>In addition, the orcs' offensive is not strong, so this will be a relatively orderly encounter
It is still in the early stages of the battle, and the two sides are testing each other's strength
<. br>As you can see, while the ground troops are fighting on the ground, some of the high-level combat forces of both sides are also constantly fighting in the sky.
In addition, this kind of temptation will not last forever.
Because the orcs had the upper hand, they set up their offensive formations in advance in the gray fog of war, while our legion set up lines of defense in a hasty response.
So in order to expand the advantage of being first, they should try to expand the battle at a point in time that we are not fully prepared for.
Of course, we will also have corresponding countermeasures. ”
