(Because I'm pressed for time and haven't finished all the changes, I need to modify it online, which will take about fifteen minutes; I suggest waiting a bit before reading.)
Wolf Riders have a huge advantage over human cavalry: wolves can climb mountains. They are not completely restricted by mountains like human warhorses, although their climbing ability is not as good as the Dwarves' goat cavalry, at least they can climb.
What's more, once the rider dismounts, a 36-level Wolf Rider can become a 24-level Orc Light Infantry and a 22-level Blackrock battle wolf. Although their combat power weakens, the numbers double.
After two consecutive bloody battles with heavy casualties, there were still more than eighteen thousand Wolf Riders remaining.
Upon hearing Hell Scream's command, the thousands of Wolf Riders near the mountain side immediately dismounted their wolves and, brandishing their weapons, drove their battle wolves up the slope toward Dagger Ridge.
