The effect of a 30,000-strong cavalry was not to be trifled with. Moreover, the cavalry that was charging at the front was the strongest cavalry of the Empire, the famous Blazing Sun Cavalry. They were clad in golden armor and had a three-meter-long lance. The momentum of their charge scared the beastmen to the point that they did not dare to move.
"This … This is the Blazing Sun Valiant Cavalry …" Grollin's body trembled a little. This troop was the trump card of the human race. One year ago, during the war between the Beastmen and the human race, the valiance of this troop had left a deep impression on him. Seeing them here again, Grollin's heartbeat accelerated. The situation was really terrible.
"Grollin!" Suddenly, Colbart, who was next to him, patted Grollin and woke him up from his state of being frightened by the enemy.
"Yes … Yes! Colbart, what do we do now? " Grollin immediately asked. His brain was not enough to process the situation. He still did not know why Li Huailin was here, so he could only listen to Colbart.
"Take all the people of the 1st Legion with you. I will stay with the 3rd Legion to stop them. You immediately take the troops back to the territory, quickly!" Colbart immediately said.
"What?" Grollin was shocked. What was going on? Grollin was the marshal of the 3rd Legion, but Colbart actually wanted him to take the people of the 1st Legion away. What was going on? However, Grollin immediately understood. After the 50,000 troops of the 3rd Legion were destroyed by the humans, there were only 20,000 left. Colbart's intention was very clear. He wanted to be a hero and cut his losses. This was because there was only one exit. If the beastmen were to block here, they would be able to hold on for a while. During this time, Grollin might be able to escape the pursuit of the beastmen. Colbart wanted to sacrifice himself.
"Retreat! Take the troops and run. Don't take the main road. The enemy has a lot of cavalry. Let our troops go back through the mountain road. This way, we can escape the pursuit of the beastmen. Now, hurry up, or else it will be too late! "Colbart shouted while hiding from Grollin.
Grolin's eyes turned red, and he almost cried. It was impossible for the two of them to run away together. After the two marshals left, how could the remaining soldiers stay? So, one of them had to stay behind to suppress the situation. Obviously, Colbart had left him a way out. How could he not be touched?
Although he was moved, Groom did not accept it. He pushed Colbart away and turned his head as he said, "I won't leave. I'm a great Beastman Warrior. I'll fight here until the very last moment!"
"Are you still in a daze at a time like this? We've lost. We need to bring our troops back. Otherwise, our Orc army will be annihilated here. Hurry up …" Colbart thought that Grolin didn't understand what he meant, so he immediately shouted. However, he was interrupted by Grolin before he could finish.
"Don't say it, I know!" Grolin roared, "Which mission do you think is more difficult, dying in battle here or bringing the team back alive?"
"…" Colbart did not reply. It would be too easy to die in battle. If they just stood here for a while, the entire team would be wiped out. If they wanted to bring the team back, it would be too difficult. There was nothing to answer.
"Do you understand? I'll do the simple things. I'll leave the difficult things to you. After all, you're the Orc's number one general. My brain isn't as flexible as yours, but at least let me die in battle like a hero, "Grolin said.
"Grolin!" Colbart looked at Grolin in surprise. He didn't expect Grolin to be more determined than him.
"Hurry up! It's too late! " Li Huailin's cavalry had almost reached them. On this side, Grolin pushed Colbart and shouted at him.
"I'll wait for you in Durostan!" Colbart also knew that there was no time, so he said to Grolin. Although he knew that there was no chance of survival, he still hoped that a miracle would happen. He hoped that he could see the great Orc general again in the main city.
"Let's go!" Grolin shouted.
"The 1st Legion is here. Follow me!" Colbart turned around and shouted.
"Brats of the 3rd Legion, the 1st Legion is going to retreat now. As warriors of the Orc race, we must fight until the last moment until our comrades successfully retreat!" Grollin also ordered his subordinates.
"Yes!" A great general could naturally influence his subordinates. At this time, Grolin's body emitted an admirable radiance, which made the panicking Orc troops calm down immediately. The will to fight reappeared on the faces of all the Orc soldiers.
"Stop them!" Facing the charging Burning Sun Cavalry, Grolin waved his hand. All the Orc infantrymen immediately raised their large shields to block the cavalry's charge with their bodies.
"Charge!" The captain of the Burning Sun Cavalry, Grolin, was at the forefront of the army. Seeing the Orc troops charging at them, he had no intention of stopping. Instead, he sped up and charged forward with his lance. Ever since the establishment of the Burning Sun Cavalry, the only thing they knew was to charge. No matter what was in front of them, as long as the Legion Leader gave the order, they would only charge forward in a straight line.
With a muffled sound, the front rows of the two armies collided with each other. There was no doubt that the infantrymen could not withstand the impact of the heavy cavalry. In an instant, the front row of the Orc troops were all sent flying. It was as if a large stone had been smashed into the water. In an instant, a large hole appeared in the Orc troops' formation.
"Fill it up!" Grolin was not here to fight. They did not want to live anymore. Now, even if they had to fill the hole with manpower, they had to block the cavalry so that the 1st Legion could have a chance to retreat.
The Orc troops were now stuck on the only way out. The other way up the mountain would take too long. In theory, the most extreme situation was like the one at Hot Spring Gate, where 300 people could block tens of thousands of Persian troops. Unfortunately, the current situation was different. First of all, the road here was much wider. Second, the opponent was a heavy cavalry.
Although the momentum of the Orc troops was amazing, the problem was that they could not stop them. The Burning Sun Cavalry was too elite. It felt like a large truck had crashed into a flock of sheep at full speed. It was not something that could be stopped by human flesh. Although it could not be stopped, it was obvious that the other party had successfully slowed down the cavalry's charge.
"Stop it! Stop it! " Grolin looked at the cavalry that was getting closer and closer to him. He did not leave his commanding position for a long time. He looked directly at the other party's troops and watched them get closer.
"Puff, puff, puff …" Suddenly, a rain of arrows flew. A large row of Orc infantrymen were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another. Grolin was shocked, but the guards next to him reacted quickly. One of the guards used his own body to block the fatal arrow that was aimed at Grolin. However, he was hit by the arrow and fell to the ground.
"Elves!" Grolin gritted his teeth and looked at the Elven camp next to him. It was impossible for ordinary archers to kill so many Orc soldiers in one volley. They were all wearing armor, so it was not easy to shoot. Only the Elves could shoot such archery.
He looked to the side and saw that the Elven troops had joined the battle. They were the ones who shot the volley just now. They completely avoided the human troops and hit the Orc troops perfectly. Their archery skills were really amazing.
"They're going to escape. We can't let them go!" Selena shouted to the Elven troops. The Elves hated the Orcs so much now. How could they let the Orc troops escape? Seeing that the enemy's general led a part of the troops to run away, Selena understood what the other party meant. They must defeat the Orc troops immediately and pursue the rest of the enemy's troops. So, Selena made a prompt decision and immediately cooperated with the human cavalry to attack.
"Don't panic! Don't panic! " Grolin was still standing in the commanding position. He wanted to let all the soldiers see that he was still alive and hadn't run away. So, please fight with me.
Needless to say, it was only a matter of time before the Orcs were completely annihilated. However, the problem was how long they could drag it out. Grolin understood this very well. The longer he could stand, the longer his troops could hold on. So, even though the human cavalry was charging towards him, he had no intention of dodging.
With the elves' long-range assistance, the cavalry's charge was much smoother. Just as the soldiers in the front row wanted to stop them, they were shot by an arrow. Once they moved, it would be even harder for them to stop the cavalry. The Blazing Sun Cavalry's captain, Galen, was aiming at Grolin's position. The heavy cavalry was like a sharp knife that went straight to their destination, while the light cavalry behind them was like a meat grinder that specialized in harvesting the scattered troops. The number of Orcs' deaths rose rapidly. It was even faster than standing in a row and letting the Orcs kill them.
However, even under such circumstances, the Orc troops still showed no signs of collapsing. Galen understood what was going on. The problem now was the enemy's general, Grolin. As long as he was still standing, the Orc troops would not collapse no matter how many of them died.
"Grolin! Die! " At this time, the Blazing Sun Cavalry had already rushed to the back of the enemy's formation. Galen could already see Grolin. He raised his spear and charged straight towards Grolin.
"Come on! Human bastard! "Grolin was equally fearless. He picked up the spear beside him and charged forward.
"Die!" Galen lowered his body, accelerated forward, and attacked with all his might. However, Grolin did not want to live at all. He swung his spear, and the fighting energy on the spearhead could even be seen with the naked eye. This was a real desperate attack.
"Clang!" There was a loud sound of weapons colliding. After a moment, the result was out. Galen and his horse rolled to the side. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive, but Grolin was still standing in the same place.
Grolin raised his spear and put on a victorious posture. "I am the Orc's number one warrior, Grolin! This is … "
Before he could finish speaking, the Blazing Sun Cavalry behind him had already rushed forward. In an instant, Grolin was drowned in the heavy cavalry …
