Since the war with the human race, the Golden Lion family was beaten for the first time, and Lion King Elliot was furious.
The Lion King, Elliot was not angry because of the tens of thousands of orcs who died on the battlefield. Except for a dozen orcs who were raising mammoth war beasts, none of the orcs fighting on the front line came from the army directly under the family. No matter how many died, they were just cannon fodder.
The real losses came from our side of the border. First, the Spirit Mother Stone Mine was destroyed, not only burning the canyon and rescuing the human slaves who were mining, but the most annoying thing was that the dwarf master Turutuk who refined the ore was also kidnapped. The mine can be rebuilt, and the slaves can be captured again, but without the dwarves, the Golden Lion Family may not be able to refine a Spirit Mother Stone for a long time. This is a loss of real money.
Immediately afterward, the Three-Eyed Dog tribe was looted again, and this time the looting was too brutal. All the silver-horned stags in the tribe's two pastures, whether they were does with calves or unweaned fawns, were all robbed.
The Three-Eyed Dog Tribe will not be able to resume the supply of mounts to the family's Silver Horn Cavalry Regiment for two or three years. The old patriarch of the Three-Eyed Dog Tribe committed suicide out of fear of crime the night he was robbed.
It is not a pity that the old guy died, but the Silver Horn Cavalry, as the three major cavalry regiments directly under the family, has become a source of water. Once there are battle losses on the battlefield, it will be difficult to restore the organization.
It is said that all this was done by only a squadron of the human race. When the information that the Three-Eyed Dog Tribe was robbed for the first time was reported, the Lion King reprimanded the leader of the Three-Eyed Dog Tribe for a few words and then threw the matter aside, because he simply don't believe that dozens of human warriors can cause any disturbance here in the orc wasteland.
A few days after the Three-Eyed Dog tribe was robbed, letters for help from various tribes in the border areas began to arrive like a snowflake.
Those hateful human slaves actually used the robbed silver-horned stag to quickly raise a cavalry regiment of more than 500 people and began to plunder crazily in the border areas.
In the past, Arthur and the others only raided small tribes, looking for opportunities to harass and sneak attack medium-sized tribes. Now they have begun to openly pillage medium-sized tribes, and can even eat most of the orc pursuing troops.
The reason why Arthur and the others are so rampant is because they took advantage of the war between humans and beasts.
A medium-sized orc tribe usually has one or two thousand people, and 60 to 70 percent of the tribe are qualified orc warriors. But because of the war, 70 to 80 percent of the orc warriors in each tribe were sent to the battlefield, and the number of warriors left behind in the tribe was only two to three hundred at most. The emptiness of the tribe naturally created opportunities for Arthur and his cavalry regiment.
The wealth accumulated by a medium-sized orc tribe is by no means comparable to that of small and poor tribes. It has only plundered three tribes. The weapons and equipment of the new soldiers in the Arthur Cavalry Regiment have all been replaced with cannons. At least each person has a third-level weapon and armor.
The high returns brought by looting the orc tribes are crazy. The soldiers who were still skeptical before are now completely tied to Arthur and the carriage of the 7th Squadron, looting each orc tribe in the border area like a whirlwind.
As a result, major tribes in the border areas have asked the Orc King's Court for help.
Arthur and the others really angered the Golden Lion Family this time. Lion King Elliot personally issued a death order. Anyone who kills the human bandits who break into the territory will be rewarded with a hundred golds. Anyone who kills the leader of the bandits will be rewarded with ten thousand golds. , sealing territory with a radius of hundreds of miles.
Not only that, fearing the speed of the human cavalry, the Golden Lion family also specially dispatched two cavalry regiments directly under the family members to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Arthur and the others.
How easy is it to hunt down a small group of human cavalry in the vast orc wasteland? What's more, Arthur and the others are extremely cunning. They never stay in one place for more than a day, and they won't even attack neighboring tribes. Often, after the pursuers of the Golden Lion Family get traces of Arthur and the others and pounce on them, they find that their target has long since disappeared. .
The two sides started a cat-and-mouse game of chasing and hiding in the border area of the Orc Wasteland.
During this period, the orc pursuers actually encountered Arthur's cavalry twice. One time, Arthur and the others lost dozens of warriors and ran out before the orcs formed an encirclement; the other time, they were chased by orc cavalry for a full day and night, and dozens of silver-horned stags were exhausted to death. , and then got rid of the pursuing orc cavalry.
In this intensive and high-intensity battle, Arthur and his cavalry regiment continued to grow and become stronger.
As the saying goes, it is inevitable that your shoes will not get wet when you often walk by the river. Good luck is not always on Arthur's side.
Arthur and his men had just finished plundering an orc tribe. As soon as they came out of the camp, they collided head-on with an orc force that was about to enter the camp.
This orc army has nearly a thousand people. The army is composed of warriors of various races such as werewolves, snake men, and Bremen, and all of them are elite orc warriors of level three or above.
Arthur and his cavalry had no choice but to fight their way out.
Arthur raised the Star fall sword high in his hand, and he would kill the first one pointed by the sword.
"Can you escape this time?" A familiar voice suddenly came from the orc team on the opposite side.
Former military city.
After days of ravages of war, the strong and tall city walls have become dilapidated. The walls have become pitted and uneven, and the walls are covered with traces of heavy blows and fire. The corpses piled up under the city wall are several meters high. Orcs who are good at climbing can now climb directly from under the city wall without using a ladder.
Not only the soldiers but also the young men in the city are now on the top of the city, and the defense of the city is almost filled with flesh and blood.
Looking at the orc troops receding like a sea tide at dusk, Gel sat down on the city wall tiredly. The day's battle should be considered over.
Many soldiers were already lying down behind Ge Li. It was unclear whether they were soldiers who died in battle or soldiers who lay down directly due to exhaustion. The squadron's battle losses had already exceeded half, which was the lowest battle loss rate among all the city-defending troops.
"Leave me alone for a moment, I'm almost exhausted from this day!" Joan sat down directly against Gold's back. During the war, there had long been no distinction between men and women.
The sky gradually darkened, and the two people never spoke.
The temporarily organized militia soldiers took this time to go to the city wall to carry away the bodies of those who died in the battle. During the process of carrying them, they discovered that half of them were soldiers who had fallen asleep and were so exhausted that their wounds were not treated.
"Is the battlefield interesting?" Gel suddenly asked Qing without knowing what she thought of.
Joan rarely replied seriously, "Of course it's not interesting to you who are fighting desperately on the battlefield, but in the eyes of the big shots above, these casualties are just numbers. For the people above, war is an interesting game."
"Then are you above or below?"
Qing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said: "I'm not in the chess game."
