Sigh Valley.
The companions looked at Arthur in astonishment, "Do you know what's going on with these skeletons?"
"Have you discovered? Only skeletons with magic items on them can move."
"That's right, Moral got three things from these skeletons." Joan said unhappily.
"This is not a coincidence. Any creature must obtain energy from the outside world to survive. And these skeletons are not undead creatures that can absorb energy autonomously, so the energy they need to move can only come from those magic items." Arthur analyzed seriously.
Joan took the three magic items from Moral and looked at them over and over again. "It's a bit strange. After so many years, the magic power in the magic items should have been exhausted long ago, but the magic power in these magic items is full."
Arthur scratched his head, "I haven't figured this out either. Maybe it has something to do with the special environment sealed in the canyon?"
"I understand!" Moral slapped his thigh heavily and said proudly, "To put it bluntly, these guys are still money-giving boys. Because of the special environment here and the magic items on their bodies, they can only move by chance. In fact, they have no consciousness and any attack power at all."
Before everyone reacted to Moral's clever judgment, he took the lead and walked into the depths of the canyon.
Every moving skeleton means a magic item. This kind of good thing that is not dangerous and can make a lot of money is not easy to come across outside the canyon, so Moral naturally cannot fall behind.
Looking at Moral's fat back, Arthur smiled and whispered: "It doesn't matter, let him plunder as much as he wants, and all the spoils will be evenly distributed after leaving the canyon."
The sudden appearance of the skeleton did not affect Arthur and others' continued exploration of the Sighing Canyon. Instead, it inspired Moral's fighting spirit, and everyone moved faster into the depths of the canyon.
When the exploration in the canyon was going smoothly, there was a storm outside the canyon.
Dino did not expect that the Knights of Light would be eager to take over the guard of the Sighing Canyon the day after arriving. If he stopped them by force, it would only arouse the suspicion of the Grand Duke, but would not change the decision of the Knights of Light.
The order for the troops to change guard was conveyed on the first night.
The soldiers did not have many personal belongings. When Dino went to preside over the handover ceremony the next day, all the soldiers of the Frost Thunder Legion had packed their bags and lined up.
Compared with Dino's uneasy mood, the soldiers were all smiling. They had long been tired of staying in this place where there was no bird shit except for the sighing sound of the wind, and had long been looking forward to the opportunity to leave here and go to a place with people or money.
The guard change ceremony between the Frost Thunder Army and the Knights of Light was very simple, and it looked more like a formality, so the Grand Duke entrusted Dino to come.
Captain Fans of the Knights of Light participated in person, and seemed to express his gratitude and hard work to Dino sincerely. Then the soldiers of the Frost Thunder Legion marched out of the barracks under the gaze of the Knights of Light.
When the last soldier of the Frost Thunder Legion walked out of the barracks, the Knights of Light will officially enter the barracks and take over the defense mission of the Sighing Canyon.
There should not be any problems with such a procedural guard change ceremony, but the soldiers of the Frost Thunder Legion felt the vibration of the earth as soon as they walked out of the barracks, and the air flow rate also accelerated, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.
The shaking of the earth became stronger and stronger, like a dark cloud pressing down on a city. The endless orc cavalry rushed over all over the mountains and plains.
"Orcs!"
"The orcs have launched a surprise attack!"
"How could there be so many orc cavalry!"
Surprised, nervous or terrified, all human soldiers did not expect the orcs to suddenly launch an attack at this critical moment.
The other side of the Sighing Canyon is the territory of the orcs. Because of the exchange of defense with the Knights of Light, Dino even withdrew the guards on the border.
The orcs took advantage of this loophole. When the orc army rushed into the human territory, no soldiers on the border sounded the alarm in advance. As a result, the orc cavalry was almost in front of them, and the human army had no time to react.
"Knights of Light, prepare to charge!" Captain Vance roared.
The Knights of Light quickly transformed from the queue into a charging formation with thousands of combat units, ready to engage in a head-on cavalry duel with the orc cavalry.
"Frost Thunder Legion, retreat, retreat to the camp and prepare for defensive operations!" Dino issued combat orders almost at the same time.
But the terrible thing is that in the face of the fierce charge of the orc cavalry, the two human armies made completely opposite responses.
It is inevitable that the Knights of Light and the Frost Thunder Legion make opposite choices. The Frost Thunder Legion is infantry, and the best strategy for infantry to face the charge of the orc cavalry is to defend in dangerous places. If the Knights of Light give up their own charge and choose defense, their combat effectiveness will drop by half.
"Where the light shines, darkness has nowhere to hide, Knight of Light, charge!" Captain Vans roared to charge.
The horses galloped, the knights roared, and the Knights of Light rushed towards the orc cavalry.
It was only when they got closer that they could see clearly that the orc cavalry were all wolf cavalry. Tall, ferocious blue-gray wolves ran forward, and the wolf knights on their backs bared their fangs, waving machetes and lances and roaring.
"Blood Flame Wolf!" Only Blood Flame Wolf has so many wolf cavalry.
The 200,000 "Blood Flame Wolf" who agreed to invade the human race with Lion King Elliot suddenly appeared in the Sighing Valley.
The two cavalry units collided head-on. Compared with the charge launched by Arthur with hundreds of cavalry, the cavalry duel on this battlefield was a real cavalry war.
More than 100,000 cavalry teams attacked and collided with each other on the vast battlefield. They entangled together and stabbed their weapons into the flesh of the opposite side.
The wolf roared, the wolf rider roared, and the fierceness and bloodthirstiness of the orcs were fully reflected in the wolf riders.
With a firm look and uniform attack, the bravery and tenacity of the human cavalry were perfectly displayed in the light cavalry.
The collision of flesh and blood, the cavalry of the two tribes harvested and consumed each other. In this chaotic battlefield, if you fall off your mount, you will basically have no chance of survival. The opponent's warriors hacked and killed, and the mounts trampled on each other. The knights who died in the battle did not even have a complete body left.
The number of orc wolf cavalry was several times that of the knights of light, but they could not break the formation of the knights. Instead, they were constantly killed and injured in the fierce counterattack of the knights of light.
The three major knights of the church were the few troops in the human army that could fight against the orc warriors alone.
The knights of light on the battlefield were obviously superior to the orc warriors in equipment and individual combat power. The belief in the God of Light made the knights of light fearless. The blessed lances shone silver, and the silver lance forest tore through the formation of the orcs and continued to break through.
The 200,000-strong army of the Blood Flame Gray Wolf came with courage, but encountered the hard bone of the Knights of Light in the first battle after entering the country!
