Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
This is the case for the Second Vanguard Army of the Orc Alliance.
The first charge, which was at its peak and in the best condition, was blocked by fire. It endured several rounds of attacks from bows and arrows and trebuchets, and retreated leaving behind countless corpses.
After the fire was extinguished, the regrouped orc army launched a second charge. However, an unexpected trap killed all the most critical elite black orc troops.
No one was "creating the atmosphere" anymore, and the morale of the remaining cannon fodder troops dropped instantly. Even the war cry was weaker, and there was even a little bit of guilt in it.
But there was only one way for them to charge forward, and that was the so-called "for the alliance".
The group of orcs rushing at the front suddenly felt that there were fewer arrows and boulders falling on their heads. Regardless of their happiness and doubts, they accelerated their pace and seized the time to approach the second layer of the fortress defense line.
Fifty meters, forty meters... The city wall was not far away. The orcs' emotions gradually recovered, and their green eyes flickered in the night.
They were ready to attack the city. Some of the orcs took out their hook locks and swung them towards the city wall.
"Ding ding ding!" The hook lock tightened on the wall. The orcs were delighted and were about to climb up, but hundreds of figures fell from the sky and split their heads in half with a knife!
At the same time, the city gate opened, and the empire's elite infantry regiment, which was ready for battle, rushed out!
"Swish, swish, swish!" Rockets were fired from the top of the city, accurately hitting the oil and fire bombs pre-arranged on the battlefield. The flames ignited and illuminated the battlefield.
"kill!!!"
The shouts of killing from the imperial soldiers came overwhelmingly, and the roars full of anger and fighting spirit instantly suppressed the roars of the orcs who were powerful but incompetent!
The two armies quickly connected. The demoralized cannon fodder troops of old, weak and disabled soldiers and the weak individual Goblins were no match for the elite imperial infantry regiments that surged out after recharging their strength. The situation became one-sided.
The thin orcs could not withstand the three blows of the human warriors, and the goblins fell like wheat. The imperial infantry quickly created a space and spread out their formation.
As a result, the strength gap between the two sides became even greater. The infantry regiment not only stabilized its position, but also steadily advanced.
The Second Orc Vanguard Army still had 200,000 troops. With such a huge number and lack of effective dispatch, the front was blocked and the follow-up troops were still charging. This resulted in the orc army being severely compressed together, becoming increasingly dense.
The archers on the city wall like to see this situation the most. They don't need to deliberately aim, they just need to shoot towards the front of the infantry regiment.
Arrows and boulders fell like rain, and the number of orc casualties increased rapidly. The magician troops following the infantry regiment made the orcs even worse.
As the magicians pointed their staffs forward, fire, wind blades, ground cracks, and thunderstorms raged in the orc formation. Wails gradually replaced the war cries, and fear appeared in the Goblin's eyes.
The adventurers who jumped down from the city wall along the hook lock were charging at the front of the line. Their strength was stronger than the elite infantry, and they were like sharp blades, tearing open gaps.
If the adventurers are sharp blades, then the heavy armored cavalry of the Viper Knights on both sides of the battlefield are like two broad knives that are opened and closed, crushing them straight forward, leaving no trace of armor behind.
Behind them were the elite light cavalry of the Knights of the Sun. They rushed out of the space swept out by the heavy cavalry and penetrated into the middle of the orc army.
The light cavalry were faster with their horses and swords. In front of the orcs who were already in disarray, each warrior was like a god of death, rapidly harvesting the enemy's lives.
Infantry, heavy cavalry, and light cavalry each perform their own duties and do not interfere with each other, but from an overall perspective, the coordination is extremely subtle.
The inspector on top of the castle of Hofla Fort observed the battle situation with a monocular and was secretly shocked. The commanding ability of this young commander was terrifying, even better than the old general he had served!
After repelling the first wave of attacks, Filia immediately adjusted her tactics. Instead of being passively beaten, she took the initiative to attack.
After all, there is a huge gap in combat power between the empire's elite and the orc cannon fodder troops. Even if the orcs activate a brutal killing state, they are just more troublesome cannon fodder.
But why let something happen if it can be killed? So there is a trap in front of the second line of defense.
Digging a trap of this size in such a short period of time is probably only possible on the defense line at Fort Hofla, and it is easy to do so because the Wolf Spider troops are here.
Wolf spiders are best at digging, and they originally lived in the huge burrows they dug.
When they saw the big spiders running back and forth several times to dig the trap, the soldiers holding the engineering shovels stared wide-eyed and threw the shovels and applauded them.
It’s not that the big spiders are lovable, it’s mainly that the little ones on their backs are so pretty.
Three armies came out together, and active attack would cause less losses than passive defense. What Filia wanted was to secure the second layer of fortress defense before the main force of the orcs arrived.
The heavy cavalry on both sides were like two torrents of steel, cutting through the orc army without any pause.
The heavy cavalry of the Viper Knights is a model for heavy cavalry in the world. There is no need to stop and adjust at all. It is carried out directly on the march. The kung fu formation adjustment is completed after turning a corner and the attack from back to front begins.
The light cavalry and elite infantry regiments of the Knights of the Sun are not far behind either, and their efficiency in killing enemies is not inferior to that of the heavy cavalry. The two closest teams have merged.
Under such a situation, there is no possibility for the Orcs to stand up, and it is only a matter of time before the Second Vanguard Army is completely wiped out.
"Cool!" Chakra, who was watching the battle from beginning to end next to Filia, excitedly waved his fist and turned to the stunning sister next to him, admiration overflowing from his eyes.
"Sister Filia, can I invite you to dinner?" Chakra didn't care whether the person agreed or not, he invited him first.
"No time." Filia said expressionlessly, "Commander!"
"exist!"
"Inform the levy regiment to clean up the battlefield. It's time for them to see blood. In addition, the reconnaissance team will set off immediately to detect the movements of the orcs' follow-up troops and tell them to focus on finding out whether they are the main force."
"Yes!" The ordering soldier took the order and left.
The battle is not over yet, the strangulation is still going on, sending troops directly to clean the battlefield highlights Filia's confidence.
Another point is that time waits for no one. After all, we are on defense. If we buy more time, we can make more preparations.
…
Rogge led the team to participate in this battle, and they were among the adventurers who jumped from the city wall.
He didn't want to wait any longer, so instead of staying in Hofla Fort worrying, it was better to take action first.
The adventurers all accepted military commissions and were at Filia's disposal, but Rogge found many familiar faces among them.
Rogge was not familiar with many adventurers, not even as many as the knights of the Yanyang family. What he saw were the knights of the Yanyang family.
Rogge's heart moved, and he turned back to look at the head of Hofla Castle. The red figure was swaying unclearly in the firelight, but Rogge had a feeling that Philiya was also looking at him at this time.
Rogge smiled lightly, and the tacit understanding with his beloved was one of the few warmth in the war.
The lowest number in the team he formed was a high-level professional, which was a dimensionality-reducing blow to the orc cannon fodder troops. Even Lunt, who spent most of the battle on defense, was killed tonight.
The cursed edge in the big man's hand was completely used as a sword wielder. It swept with great force and the wind roared, and people turned upside down wherever they passed.
Next to him was "Little Spider" Alvarez, wielding a pair of short knives to accurately cut the throat of the fallen enemy.
Rogge is also "mowing the grass". To deal with dense enemies, melee slashing is more suitable than long-range shooting.
Except for opening up a large space with a gust of wind and a hundred blades at the beginning, he only used the simplest wind blades for the rest of the time.
Despite this, he was still the one who killed the most enemies. The power of magical martial arts cannot be dissipated by one or two weak goblins.
This was Rogge's second battle with goblins, the first time he was ambushed on his way to Holk Academy after graduating from the orphanage.
That battle was extremely thrilling. Rogge still remembered that Ofina was seriously injured and several soldiers from the Imperial Transport Team were killed.
But now, killing goblins is comparable to killing chickens. It can be said that times have changed.
The one who killed the most enemies was Kawaju, who fully displayed his flame mage-level strength. When the light cavalry did not enter the scene, he released several third-level magic meteors and fire showers, dyeing the night sky red.
Kawaju did this simply because he wanted to show his strength to Rogge. Rogge saw it and said that if he really wanted to fight one on one, he would conservatively estimate that he would be able to defeat three or four Kawaju.
Everyone was fighting, and a red hussar came over from the front and reined in the horse and stopped in front of Rogge.
The knights dismounted and the leader saluted: "Your Highness Rogge, the eldest lady has asked us to give you a horse."
This team of knights has one person and two horses, no more, no less, exactly fifty people, which is the same number as Rogge's team.
Rogge smiled and shook his head. As expected, his actions could not escape her eyes. Just as he was saying that he was going to find a group of Sun Knights to ask for a horse, they sent it themselves.
"You don't want it?" The knight asked.
"Yes." Rogge took the reins, "What other plans does Filia have?"
"Uh..." The knight thought for a moment, and telling the young lady's boyfriend didn't seem to be leaking military information, and then said, "The young lady asked us to disperse into the territory of the Orc Alliance after defeating the orc army to harass and contain them."
"How many people are there in total?"
"I don't know, I'm just the captain of one of them."
"Okay, I hope you come back safely."
"Yes!" The knight saluted and left.
——It seems that Philia sent the Knights of the Sun to attack not only to cover me. Emperor Charles’s order came down, and the entire northwest front was in action.
Just as Rogge was thinking about it, Cuiyu on his shoulder suddenly pecked him.
He quickly turned his head and saw the light in Cuiyu's eyes flickering on and off. The whole bird was very weak, as if... it had been seriously injured.
Rogge was shocked and said hurriedly: "Thea? How are you?"
"Rogg, the Gate of the Holy Descendant has been activated, remember, one month." Thea's voice was still as soft as spring water, but it revealed a strong sense of exhaustion and weakness.
"I see, how are you?"
Thea didn't answer.
"Hold on." Rogge emphasized these three words again.
Cuiyu stared at Rogge's face for a while, then suddenly pecked his lips.
Thea's communication was cut off.
