Shadow Bane, King of Skulls, Soul Eater, and the most notorious Legendary Beast King of the Orcs, Mogul. Everyone trembled in fear when they heard this name. This creature had destroyed countless villages, towns, and even shrines. It was a living, twisted existence, a mutated and rotten body that walked in the world. Many skeletons were intertwined on its rough fur, and each of them was either mumbling incoherently or letting out mournful screams. Its appearance was constantly changing and reforming. Around it, everything in the mortal world would be corroded and corroded by the endless Chaos energy that overflowed from its body, eventually becoming a twisted existence.
Mogul had once wreaked havoc in the Empire's Nord territory. Wherever it passed, weeds would grow, rivers would go against the flow, and animals would undergo terrifying mutations. They would become Orcs and even various evil beasts that joined Mogul's ranks. Those that shot at Mogul would become bats and frogs. Magic spells would turn into a rain of blood or thick smoke. The cannonballs would be twisted and mutated into powder. As long as this terrifying creature used its mutated crab pincers or rotten staff to point at the Empire's soldiers, their bodies would fester, their wounds would grow tentacles, and thick black liquid would flow out of their mouths, noses, ears, and eyes. Amidst the happy roars of the Orcs, they would turn into a pile of meat paste.
Some soldiers were even luckier. Their bodies would swell into a huge meatball, which was the Chaos Egg. From then on, they would become Mogul's lackeys.
Seeing the symbol from Mogul, the Wood Elf Ranger Lord, Dace, had a look of fear and hatred. "The Orcs believe that Mogul already existed in the mortal world before the Elven Empire. Its existence is a terrifying blasphemy to the Gods and the mortal world. The Orcs believe that Mogul's appearance represents the blessing of Chaos, a sign that Chaos has brought to these Sons of Chaos. Therefore, as long as Mogul appears, all the nearby Orcs will go on a filthy pilgrimage to Mogul."
"A pilgrimage?" Bertrand pondered for a few seconds. The Old Guard Commander and everyone listened attentively.
"Yes, most of the Orcs who go on a pilgrimage will be destroyed. Only a few can maintain their sanity. These Orcs either become Shamans or crowned Orc Kings." Dace shook his head in pain, "Extreme evil and distortion, Morgul has already brought too much pain to Azoloren."
Morgul's heart was filled with nothing but destruction and grief. His desire was to destroy any form of civilization and shatter any order that he could find. Among the many forces of order, the Wood Elves' Aziloron Forest was Morgul's favorite. Throughout history, Morgul had invaded Aziloron Forest many times, and every time, an Elven God's incarnation would be devoured. Every time, the Wood Elves would have to shed their blood to resist Morgul and his army of Shadow Devils.
"I know about this matter. Last time, Queen Alaier's Chosen of God champion, Aralos, defeated Morgul in the battle of Arden Forest. Because of this, the wood elves paid the price of thousands of casualties." Bertrand said to Berliat and Rokossovsky, "It is said that a divine artifact was destroyed."
The forest was extremely quiet, with only a few crows flying in the distance. A few commanders gathered to discuss the situation.
As Tal's Chosen of God, Bertrand was extremely hostile to the Orcs, who corrupted the forest and distorted nature. The Old Guard Commander frowned and gently stroked his two locks of long beard. He asked Luo Shuai, "What should we do now?"
Bertrand was implying that they should retreat and report to His Majesty Laing, or should they advance with their current forces?
Berliat immediately turned his gaze to Rokossovsky with a warning look. Obviously, Berliat wanted to report to Laing immediately.
"From the current situation, Morgul isn't an opponent that we can deal with." Rokosovski knew what Beria was thinking. The first thing that this sinister military official thought of was to not make any mistakes, but Rokosovski had even more considerations. Luo Shuai straightforwardly said, "Think about it, even with the elite and fighting strength of the Wood Elves, they still had to pay such a huge price to defeat Morgul. Even if our army is powerful, our chances of victory are very low."
"Yes, Lord Berliat, I think Constantine is right." Berliat immediately followed Rokossovsky's words and said, "We should retreat immediately and report this information to His Majesty."
"We can't retreat!" Luo Shuai interrupted Berliat and said, "Berliat, you have to understand the situation. We can't retreat even if we want to."
"What do you mean?" Bertrand understood Luo Shuai's meaning.
"When we entered the forest, we were under the surveillance of the Orcs." Rokossovsky said to Bertrand, "If we retreat now, what will we face?"
"It'll be a pursuit." Bertrand nodded slowly and said, "The army will be defeated during the retreat, unless … we let the Old Guard bring up the rear."
"Therefore, we have to fight. We have to fight!" Rokossovsky placed the map on the hard ground and said, "Only with a successful encounter can we retreat from the forest and report this information to His Majesty!"
"Very good!" Bertrand made up his mind. He looked at the map, and the eyes of Tarr's chosen one burned with the divine fire and fury of the Nature God.
"The hunter will be the prey!"
"Peyton, the five of you, I have a mission for you to complete." Bertrand said to the five Gray Knight recruits, "You must have noticed that the Orcs are hostile to you."
"Yes," Petain and the others replied.
"Therefore, I need your help in this battle." Bertrand and Rokossovsky discussed and came up with a tactical plan. "His Majesty taught us this tactic personally."
"Its name is — Fishing in the wild!"
… I'm the dividing line of Fishing in the wild …
After a few hours, the Knights and the Orcs encountered each other in a less dense area of the forest.
In the middle of the forest, the trees were twisting and decaying. Even the stones on both sides of the road were twisting and turning into strange shapes. The ancient trees were trembling in the chaotic decay. The entire ground was covered by a thick layer of humus, emitting a foul smell.
The barren land had become a gathering point for the Orcs. Thousands of Orcs were gathered there, and more tribes were rushing over. They sang ancient songs praising the Chaos True God, causing the forest to distort and struggle. Sarcomas grew on the surface of the tree trunks, and the tree stumps cracked. Turbid liquid with yellowish-green gas flowed out.
The Orc King, Large-horned Bull, Skar — Flesh and Blood, led the Orc army and approached the Knight's formation. He had three Minotaurs, two Large Horned Beast, and several Horned Beast Gangs. Of course, there were also five Chaos Eggs and numerous inferior Horned Beasts. There were also many Mutated Battle Mastiffs and Centaurs.
The screaming Shaman, Darr, Soul Shredder, stood beside him and said, "Humans … Massacre … Destroy … Traces!"
The Knight Path Army, on the other hand, was in a strange formation.
Bertrand placed two relatively weak Serf Infantry Regiments and a small number of Rangers in front of the formation. They formed a thin square formation.
The left wing was a tight formation of Halberd Soldiers, Sword and Shield Soldiers, and Crossbowmen. Some of them were Free Citizen soldiers. The Wood Elf Rangers and Bertrand's Longbow Unit were placed behind the left wing.
The right wing was a large group of Knights and many Knights' squires. Many of them dismounted and walked. Mu Xilong's elite Infantry Regiment, Musketeer Unit, and Artillery Unit were placed there.
The Large-Horned Bull, Skar, looked at the scene in bewilderment. The Orc King didn't understand why the Humans would use the old and weak as the vanguard while placing the elites on the right wing.
Wasn't it obvious that they wanted the Son of Chaos to break through the middle and split the left and right wings to annihilate the Orcs from both sides?
The Large-Horned Bull had limited intelligence, so he didn't think about it. Instead, he screamed and reminded the Shaman, Darr, Soul Shredder, "Humans … Cunning … Besiege … us."
Skar didn't think too much. The Large-Horned Bull gave the order to attack!
Tens of thousands of Orcs charged towards the Humans like a flood.
"Roar ~ Woo!!!" Scalar stood on a hillside in the forest and roared loudly. The Orcs roared crazily. Then, the Large-horned Bull raised his Battle Axe and pointed it at the Humans. Tens of thousands of Orcs swarmed out!
The battle in the forest had begun!
The Humans faced a cruel test. The Rangers fought with the Orcs' vanguard, the Horned Beasts, and the Centaurs. Then, it was the two Serf Infantry Regiments of the Arden Forest. The Serf Infantry Regiments didn't forget the humiliation and hatred of the Orcs. They joined the Orcs to survive and to seek revenge.
The first wave of Horned Beasts and Centaurs was defeated by the Humans. The Arrows and Crossbow Bolts reaped the lives of the Orcs. After the second roar, the Large Horned Beasts and Minotaurs appeared! The Orc King threw in most of his elites at the start of the battle!
"Roar … Kill … Eat … Humans, weak … Superior Gore … Strong!!!" Under the command of the Orc King and the Screaming Shaman, hundreds of giant horned beasts rushed into the enemy's formation. These strong elite troops with goat or bull horns directly braved the rain of arrows and bolts and rushed into the human's formation. A giant horned beast smashed its head into the front line, smashing the shields, breaking the spears, and bouncing off the swords. The serfs and infantry in the middle of the army suddenly felt a huge pressure.
The Rangers suffered great losses. They were pulled down from their horses and slaughtered. The hungry Orcs saw that the delicious canned meat was being pried open, so they swarmed forward and devoured the Humans' meat. The Large Horned Beasts and Minotaurs enjoyed the most delicious pork ribs and thighs. The Horned Beasts devoured the meat, leaving the inferior Horned Beasts with only bones and Humans to eat.
The Middle Army showed signs of defeat, and the soldiers retreated. The left flank of the Cavalier Army was exposed. Bertrand was commanding the soldiers to resist the Orcs' attack. The Halberd Soldiers formed three rows, while the Sword and Shield Soldiers formed a shield wall. The Orcs and Horned Beasts charged at the Cavaliers like a tide. The five Chaos Eggs twisted their original bodies that were covered with arrows and bullet holes. They waved their tentacles and mutated arms and used their weight and size to create a gap in the Cavaliers' defense line.
Bertrand's command was steady but also conservative. The soldiers weren't allowed to counterattack, so they could only use their Halberds and Longswords to kill the enemies. At the same time, they placed their hopes of defeating the Orcs on the Crossbowmen, Cannons, and Muskets at the back. Facing a pincer attack from both sides, the Left Flank Army was having a hard time. Bertrand was forced to fight personally. A bowstring sounded, and a meteor streaked across the forest. A Chaos Egg collapsed.
"Swoosh!" Another arrow hit another Chaos Egg and penetrated its filthy body. It collapsed in the Middle Army and crushed three Serf Soldiers to death.
"Ahhhh! Kill … Cuckold … Kill him … Offer him to the True God! "The Orc King pointed at Bertrand, but another Chaos Egg was killed by Bertrand's arrow.
The Knights on the Right Flank were entangled with a large number of Horned Beasts and inferior Horned Beasts. The impact and vitality of the Knights couldn't be unleashed in the forest and the chaotic battlefield. The Ranger Knights and Kingdom Knights shouted the name of the Goddess and fought the Orc army without hesitation.
The situation was very disadvantageous for the Human army. The Orc King, Skal, was secretly delighted when he saw this scene. He immediately sent out his last reserve, the famous Minotaurs, "Lightless Blood Moon" Combat Gang, and entered the battlefield!
However, at this moment, five figures flashing with white light suddenly appeared from behind the Brittanian army that had been completely routed. These five figures were all wearing silver full-body armor, with skull-shaped silver helmets on their heads. They were either holding a sword, a shield, or a halberd in their hands. Their armor was covered with various silver parchments, with shining scriptures written on them. Hanging from each of their arms was a book, a thick devil's handbook that was covered with slips of paper!
The silver halberd swung horizontally, and with a flash of sharp blade light, a giant horned beast's head flew into the sky. Then, with another thrust, the giant horned beast's sturdy chest armor was directly pierced through. Its goat-like face revealed an expression of extreme fear and pain. The sharp blade of the halberd swept across its neck, and its head flew into the sky.
"I am Holy Hammer! Enemy Breaking Blade! "
“Wearethehammer！”
The battle cries of the five new recruits resounded in the forest. There were only five of them, but the entire Horned Beast Combat Gang collapsed in front of them.
Then, the five new recruits retreated rapidly. They retreated to the back of the Middle Army.
The place where the Gray Knights were at became the bloodiest part of the battlefield. The corpses of the Minotaurs, Horned Beasts, Mutated Mastiffs, and Razorbeasts piled up around the Brittany's Sons.
Looking at the five new recruits and feeling their disgusting aura, the Orc Shaman Dall Soulcrusher lost his rationality. Or rather, all the Orcs lost their rationality when the Gray Knights appeared! All of them abandoned their opponents in front of them, and directly charged towards the five new recruits. The screaming Shaman Dal immediately summoned a large flock of mutated crows with pustules and sarcomas on their bodies, and flew towards Peyton and the others!
There was no need for a reason or an order. The moment all the Sons of Chaos saw the gray knight appear, their minds were only filled with the desire to fight to the death. There was only hatred between the two of them. They gathered together crazily.
The Orc army was out of control. They chased after the five new recruits and entered their positions.
While Gustav and McMahon were fighting against the Horned Beasts, Petain, Xia Fei, and Fu Xu raised their weapons to the sky and recited the Emperor's Sacred Words.
Then, after praising the Emperor and Primordial Spirit, they slashed down with their weapons.
Pure Psionic Light exploded around the three new recruits like a supernova explosion. All the Human soldiers felt their fear receding from their bodies and their courage returning. A huge wave of Psionic Light engulfed the entire battlefield. The mutated crows that were summoned by the screaming Shaman dissipated in the Psionic Light. They were vaporized, and the shockwaves engulfed everything.
When the Psionic Light faded, the situation on the battlefield had changed. The Orc army found themselves in a pocket formation. On the left was Bertrand's Left Wing, while on the right was the Brittany Elite Knights and Musket Battalion.
Right in front of them, there were five Gray Knight recruits, as well as three elite battalions of the old guard who were lined up behind Peyton and the others, singing the "Song of the Onion" loudly as they entered the battlefield under the leadership of Sir Raymond!
Bertrand revealed his trump card. A loud bugle horn sounded from the depths of the forest. The Brittany First Guards Lancer Regiment led by Rokossovsky and Berliat charged forward. Like a butter knife slicing through a cake, they sliced the Orc army in half!
The Orc army was trapped in the middle. The Knights were attacking from the front, left, and right.
This was a true ambush!
It was the Humans' turn to counterattack!
