In the past, Suhlen could only recruit one or two hundred people with his Recruitment Order. His best result was when he managed to recruit four to five hundred half-elves. Now, he was able to recruit more than a thousand people with this Recruitment Order. It was unbelievable.
The last time he used the Recruitment Order, he defeated the Trolls. This time, he defeated the Orcs. There didn't seem to be much of a connection between the two.
Suhlen was puzzled. He was curious about the hidden effect of the Recruitment Order. Su Lun opened the system log and browsed through it casually. Since the first time he used the Recruitment Order, except for one time when he directly recruited a hero, the number of people he recruited increased each time.
His attributes didn't have such an effect. Could it really be a hidden buff for victory? Suhlen wondered.
"Ding! A large group of refugees have heard that you have defeated the Beastmen. They admire your prestige and wish to join your territory. Do you agree?" At this moment, the system's voice suddenly rang out.
"I agree!" Su Lun confirmed. At this time, he seemed to suddenly understand something.
"Admire my prestige? Oh, right! Prestige! "Suhlen immediately reacted. "So the Recruitment Order is effective when I have high Prestige!"
When he defeated the Trolls, his Prestige had increased by fifteen, and he had recruited more than five hundred people. Now that he had increased it by twenty-five, he had recruited nearly a thousand people.
After figuring out the effect of the Recruitment Order, Suhlen used the other Recruitment Order. Soon, Suhlen heard a guard report that a thousand refugees wanted to join the Northern City.
After seeing this effect, Suhlen finally understood the effect of Prestige.
.....
The Orcs had no choice but to withdraw some of their troops. This way, the pressure on Kalent City was greatly reduced. During this period of time, the Orcs' continuous attacks had caused great losses to Kalent City. Of course, the Orcs' losses were more than the Humans'.
At this time, the kingdom's army finally arrived near Kalent City. The Pillar of the Empire, Legendary Knight Wendt, had arrived two days earlier than scheduled. Marquis Eri of Kalent City heaved a sigh of relief.
However, something surprising happened. The orc army didn't retreat after Marquis Winter arrived. Instead, they turned around and approached Marquis Winter's army of 100,000.
On the walls of Kalent, Eri, Wayne, Gavin, and some other noble generals were shocked to see the orcs' actions.
"Are these beastmen crazy? Although they are indeed very powerful, those are the elites of the kingdom, and there are at least 100,000 of them! "Marquis Eri muttered to himself as he looked at the battle that was about to erupt outside the city.
"Something's not right. The situation isn't looking good. Have you guys noticed that the intensity of the orcs' attacks has decreased over the past two days?" Wayne suddenly said.
"That's right, the Orcs haven't reached the city walls in the past two days!" The others suddenly reacted.
"Oh no, the Orcs are doing this on purpose. They've been conserving their strength for the past two days and waiting for the human army to arrive!" One of the generals said with a pale face, "In order for the kingdom to speed up the dispatch, we have been saying that the situation is dangerous. That's why the army led by Marquis Winter is actually a tired army. "
After hearing the general's explanation, these people immediately reacted. After all, they lived in the northern provinces and often had to fight. The nobles weren't as rotten as the nobles in the south. They had been on the battlefield and had all kinds of battle knowledge. Now that they were reminded, they completely understood the Orcs' wishful thinking. They had made up their minds to launch a decisive battle while the human reinforcements were still unsettled.
After seeing the approaching orc army, Marquis Winter also realized that he had made a fatal mistake in order to rescue his people.
At this moment, a group of tall figures walked out of the orc camp. Seeing these figures, both the soldiers of Kalent and the soldiers of Marquis Winter couldn't help but gasp.
"Mammoths! They're mammoths! "
Two hundred tall mammoths ran out from the orc camp. These mammoths were five meters tall, and their bodies were covered with a thick layer of fur. Their thick and sturdy legs were like pillars, and their fierce and sharp tusks were three meters long. These mammoths were powerful beasts that lived in the northern wastelands.
Each mammoth weighed at least 20 tons. They were also one of the few beasts that could go head to head with a land dragon. There were three Beastmen riding on each Mammoth. One Beastman held a long machete, one Beastman held a long spear, and the last Shaman was in charge of beating war drums to control the Mammoths.
The appearance of more than 200 mammoths immediately caused a commotion. Many soldiers even turned pale with fright. These prehistoric beasts were too oppressive. Although there were only 200 mammoths, the vibrations they created when they walked were greater than the movements of thousands of heavy armored knights.
These mammoths were also equipped with simple armor, and there were also some sharp weapons tied to their bodies. The war drums sounded, and the mammoths began to charge.
The human reinforcements, who had yet to recover from their rapid march, felt their limbs turn cold when they saw the Orc Mammoths charging at them. Their bodies went soft, and their faces turned pale.
The mammoths roared.
The entire battlefield could hear the tyrannical aura in their roars.
In the face of a five to six meter tall behemoth that weighed dozens of tons, charging at you like a heavy tank, it was as if you were facing a huge tank.
What would you do?
Stay where you were and be trampled to death, or run far away?
Under the control of the orc shamans, the two hundred mammoths charged into the vanguard of the human reinforcements. Then, an extremely tragic scene appeared before everyone's eyes.
The vanguard of the human reinforcements was instantly torn apart by the mammoths. Then, these behemoths began to slaughter. The long trunks of the mammoths directly rolled up a heavily armored soldier and threw him more than ten meters away. He then heavily smashed into the ground. The heavy elephant legs stomped down and several soldiers who couldn't dodge in time were trampled into meat patties.
The terrifying tusks of the mammoths lightly jumped and pierced through several humans along with their armor. Countless human soldiers were easily knocked away and trampled by the mammoths as if they were being crushed by boulders.
The impact of the mammoths caused the human frontline to tumble like waves. These gigantic beasts with thick skin and armor could not be dealt with by conventional means. Even powerful knights would not be able to withstand more than two hits from these gigantic beasts. As long as they were lightly bumped or trampled, even if they were wearing heavy armor, they would probably die on the spot.
In just a few minutes, the vanguard of the 10,000-strong army began to collapse. The human soldiers didn't dare to continue resisting. If they didn't stop them, the entire army would be crushed by these mammoths.
"For the kingdom! Charge! " Just as the morale of the army was shaken and about to collapse, the pillar of the kingdom, Knight Winter, roared loudly. A powerful knight burst out from his body. All the knights felt a surge of power from the bottom of their hearts, and their originally panicked expressions disappeared.
"Halo of Courage!" This was an ability that this legendary knight had mastered. It could fill the surrounding soldiers with courage and fearlessness, and strengthen their will to fight.
Under the effect of the Halo of Courage, the already precarious frontline was once again stabilized. Under the leadership of Winter, the strongest Thorned Knights of the kingdom spurred their warhorses and charged towards the mammoths.
They were like the tragic scene in the Lord of the Rings trilogy where the human cavalrymen charged towards the mammoths with indomitable will. Three thousand knights were like a flood of steel, breaking through the dam and charging towards the mammoths.
The two forces of absolute power were at the peak of the battle. The people in the middle of the battlefield had already dodged the path of the two armies' charge. As for those who couldn't dodge in time, they were already dead under the feet of the mammoths.
The distance of a thousand meters was covered in the blink of an eye. The strongest knights of the human kingdom and the strongest army of the orcs had their first clash!
"Ice Storm!" On top of the mammoths, the shaman riding the mammoths suddenly roared. The war drums roared and a powerful energy appeared on the battlefield.
Ice appeared and began to spin rapidly. A dozen ice storms appeared in front of the charging knights and directly froze the human knights into ice sculptures! Even the warhorses were torn apart by the ice blades. The charging warhorses fell down, and the knights behind them who couldn't dodge in time fell down as well. The moment the knights fell to the ground, their necks or legs were broken. They were then trampled to death by the warhorses behind them.
However, this didn't stop the knights from charging. The leading knight, Winter, roared. The lance in his hand carried a powerful force and instantly pierced through the mammoths that were charging towards him. The lance directly pierced through the mammoths' heads and then into its huge body. Suffering such a heavy blow, the mammoths let out a mournful cry, staggered, and then fell down with a loud bang.
However, there weren't many experts in the knight corps who could kill the mammoths as easily as he did. Most of the knights could only cause some minor injuries to the mammoths before they were swept away, knocked away, or trampled into a pile of mud by the mammoths.
In the knights, some of the commanders also began to roar. The lance in their hands was directly thrown out. The powerful force made the lance pierce through the mammoths' bodies. The huge pain made these behemoths couldn't help but roar. More knights took the opportunity to stab more lances into the mammoths. After continuous heavy injuries, the mammoths finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
"Chain Lightning!"
A bolt of lightning burst out. A powerful electric current jumped between the knights. A dozen knights were electrocuted and trembled all over. Then, they were trampled into meat paste by the mammoths.
