The short battle ended with the defeat of the green-skinned orcs. Under the leadership of Kalad, the vanguard of the knights charged towards the enemy with the momentum of an avalanche, even though there was no such thing as an avalanche in this place.
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The torrent of steel collided with the green tide. Kalad personally led three hundred knights to take the lead. Amidst the storm of rain and snow, the Breton marshal was like a god descending from the heavens. He single-handedly broke through the muscular defensive line formed by the green-skinned boys. All the surrounding Oker orcs were slaughtered by the divine sword in Kalad's hand. Surrounded by a storm of blades, the Breton marshal swept away all the green-skinned things around him. Kalad's personal guards, the White Armor Army of Garament, followed their marshal. They roared and charged forward like rolling stones and thunder on top of a mountain. All the green-skinned creatures who dared to challenge him were slaughtered. The long-suppressed strength of the long march was completely released.
"For the Lady and the King! For the Brittany! " Kalad's charge was destructive. It was as pure and violent as the torrents of water pouring down from all directions. Soon, the warlord of the orcs appeared in Kalad's sight. The warlord wore a large helmet on his feet and was much larger than an ordinary human. His well-defined muscular arms wielded an axe and a machete decorated with fangs that symbolized strength.
Kalad ignored everything. This Brittany hero single-handedly pierced the head of the green-skinned warlord with his lance before he could react. After the lance was broken, Durandale unsheathed his sword and plunged it into the mouth of the green-skinned warlord. The two teeth that flew out were proof of the sharpness of Kalad's blade. The Brittany Marshal drew his sword and slashed at the great shaman beside the warlord. Frightened, the great shaman immediately released a small spell, but it was bounced off by Kalad's tyrannical halo. With the sound of metal clashing, the great shaman was beheaded by Kalad.
"Count Garament, Marshal Brittany Marshal Kalad is here. Who dares to fight me!" Kalad threw the heads of the green-skinned warlord and the great shaman to the ground.
At this time, the hundreds of green-skinned boys on the battlefield and the 2,000 goblins on the distant hillside began to feel fear and began to retreat. However, Laun had already led the knights to take a detour and cut off their retreat. For a moment, the roar of Kalad could be heard throughout the battlefield. The Brittanians moved forward bravely. They knew very well that their goddess must be watching this wonderful encounter.
A man of character, a man of the Lady's choice. This was the time!
On this day, the green-skinned creatures' blood stained the peaks of Hatchet Pass red.
After killing five green-skinned lords and shamans in a row, Kalad, regretfully, saw the last green-skinned ogre Ogre. He looked around the battlefield and shouted at Laun, "First blood!"
"A good sign, but you should leave some for me." Laun laughed. The Regent of the Kingdom sighed in his heart. His Majesty Laing had chosen this marshal who was really brave and unparalleled. On the other hand, Laun's strength had regressed a little.
This could not be helped. As the Regent of the Kingdom appointed by Laing, Laun had too many military and political affairs to deal with. He certainly would not be in charge of training and managing the army. Kalad, who was focused on training, improved quickly.
"Victory!"
"Victory! Thanks to the Lady's grace, we have won! "
The soldiers of the vanguard of the holy war cheered for the victory. Although this victory didn't bring them too many military exploits, it was still a victory. This victory boosted the low morale of the expeditionary army and restored the high morale of the expeditionary army. They were once again immersed in the joy of the expedition in their best state.
The army began to clean up the battlefield. Kalad ordered sentries to be arranged. Laun began to carefully examine the corpses of the Ogre Ogre. He soon came to a conclusion. "They are not here to attack us."
"Green-Skinned creatures? Not here to attack us? Are we in the way of their migration? "After hearing Laun's words, Kalad also squatted down and examined the corpses.
"Look at these scars. They're very new, but they didn't happen in this battle. Also, these armors seem to be in tatters. They're from before this battle." Laun nodded. The Regent of the Kingdom thought about everything. "Something is chasing them and driving them here."
"What could possibly catch up to a Green Dwarf on its own?"
"I think we'll know soon." Laun looked into the distance and saw that on the other side of the mountain, a bright and scary guy came out of an unknown corner of the valley. He was vigilant at first when he saw the smoke, but he soon found that it was one of his own people.
Kaldo Diego, the gray knight who was more than two meters tall and nearly three meters tall, appeared in the vanguard's line of sight. He asked somewhat foolishly, "Have you seen a group of green-skinned creatures? It took me a lot of effort to get them out of the ground. "
… I'm Silly's section break …
"Is that so? The vanguard has arrived at Helmgard and found that Bogenhafen has been occupied by an Army of Chaos?"
A few days later, on the mountain path of the Axe Bite Pass, in the camp of the Holy War Army of the Knights, Ryan received a military report from the frontline.
The vanguard encountered the Green-Skinned Tribe in front of the Axe Bite Pass. Kalad killed five of them in a row, and the army successfully entered Helmgard. However, they found that Helmgard was almost destroyed. Only the Great Holy Grail, Sir Amanric, and a small group of people temporarily controlled a street in the city.
After Kalad and the other two met up and planned to continue forward, they learned that Bogenhafen, which was at the end of the Axe Bite Pass, had been occupied by an Army of Chaos. This group of Army of Chaos consisted of an entire legion of Northmen, a large number of Orc troops led by the Orc Great Prophet, "Dark Omen" Marago, and a small elite Chaos Gang. They occupied Bogenhafen and naturally occupied the end of the Axe Bite Pass, which was the main road to the Rick territory.
What was more troublesome was that Helmgard, the famous fortress city, had almost collapsed and was impossible to defend. The vanguard of 30,000 people was still advancing, and only 1,000 of them had arrived at Helmgard. If the Army of Chaos rushed over, it would be a tough battle with Helmgard's mountainous terrain and the fact that there was no defense at all.
Laing immediately called everyone for a meeting to discuss.
During the military meeting, François calmly analyzed, "Your Majesty, the Army of Chaos appeared and occupied Bogenhafen. Their intention is to capture Helmgard. Once Helmgard falls, our 30,000 vanguard troops and 70,000 main troops at the rear will be blocked at the Axe Bite Pass. If they are blocked for a few days, this will be devastating to our army's logistics and morale. Your Majesty, the Grey Mountains mostly have thunderstorms in the late summer. If this continues, even if we don't fail, we will definitely be forced to retreat. This Holy War of Knights will be a failure!"
Everyone present nodded.
"Indeed." Laing, on the other hand, was calm and composed. He took out the military report and handed it to everyone to read. "That's why I asked Ron, Calard, and Diego to go. With the three of them, it shouldn't be a problem to guard Helmgard. Ron and Calard are both veterans of the battlefield, and Diego has extremely rich combat experience (I'm sure). I'm relieved to leave it to them."
"But Your Majesty, the relationship between Ron and Calard is not bad, but that Diego … Lady, we don't know how he appeared. We all believe in your judgment, but the army is outside. If the three of them can't work together and advance and retreat together, then once Helmgard loses and we're blocked at the Axe Bite Pass, everything will be over." The old father-in-law was still struggling with this.
Laing couldn't help but nod after hearing this. Indeed, he had to consider it again. As the supreme mentor of the Grey Knights, Diego's strength was equivalent to a demigod, and no matter how brave Ron and Calard were, they were only at the middle and high levels of the Sanctuary. However, Diego was good at leading small legions of assault tactics, while Ron and Calard were good at commanding large legions. Moreover, commanding the Grey Knights was not the same concept as commanding the mortal army. If he didn't interfere, it would be easy to cause a situation where there was no distinction between the primary and secondary, where they were commanded separately, and where they were not convinced.
In the end, it was still a problem that his original body did not appear on the front line.
But then again, how could the original body rush to the front every time before the battle started? Even the most reckless Angran would send Kahn or something to explore the way first. Laing himself would definitely not go to the front at the beginning of the battle.
This was what the Emperor taught him. The Emperor himself told Laing that unless there was a strong enemy that his subordinates could not fight against, or needed to inspire morale and unite the people, Laing, as the original body, should not go to the front so frequently.
"Well … That's it." Laing thought for a while, took a piece of silk cloth, took a quill, and wrote a few lines on it. He showed it to Suria and showed it off, "How is it? Madam? "
"In that case, there's no need to worry." Suria smiled after reading it.
"Very well, Your Excellency Aralos, I'll have to trouble you to ride the giant eagle and travel through the night. You must personally deliver this wooden box to Kalad and the others." Laing took a small wooden box and personally wrote "When the thief comes, the thief will strike" on it, and handed it to Aralos. At the same time, he chanted an ancient holy incantation, bestowing a dark green ancient holy rune on Aralos. This way, Aralos would not fear the thunderstorm above the Gray Mountains.
"Yes." Ever since Aralos had roamed the Nurgol Garden, he had been completely convinced of Ryan's strength. Coupled with the fact that he had been defeated by Tyrion in a single strike, the wood elf hero truly understood just what kind of people the Final Moment was.
What a joke, there was no way he could beat them.
"Apart from that, send a signal to contact Little Sol Green," Leon continued, "It's time for those bearded dwarves to come in handy."
Without saying much, Aralos immediately rode the giant eagle, relying on Lilith's blessings and Laing's blessings (?). The wood elf hero flew for a day and arrived at the vanguard at Helmgat.
Ron, Kalad, and Diego, who were recording the situation in Helmgat, received Laing's wooden box.
"When the thief comes?" Kalad took the wooden box and saw the words on it. Marshal Brittany looked into the distance. From the peaks of the Gray Mountains, he could vaguely see the Chaos Army's eight-pointed star flag, the Tzeentech Sacred Emblem flag, the Sin Eagle Claw flag, and the vast Orc army.
"The enemy is already in front of us. Everyone, I think we can open it now," Ron said decisively.
"I think so too." Diego nodded.
The three of them sat down and opened the wooden box. Laing wrote a series of High Gothic words with a vigorous quill pen. The Gray Knight and Brittany Knight King wrote on the silk cloth, "If the enemy arrives, Minister Kalad and Minister Diego will lead the army to battle. Minister Ron will be in charge of defending the city and raising the tricolor flag."
"Tricolor flag?" Ron put down the silk cloth. "His Majesty ordered us to fight?"
"I understand what His Majesty means. The Army of Chaos is made up of three forces. They are not subordinate to each other. We should try our best to take the initiative to attack and break their spirit first. Otherwise, if the Army of Chaos is completely gathered, it will be an extremely difficult battle for us to try to defend Helmgat," Kalad said in a low voice. "The Orcs and the Army of Chaos have always feared His Majesty's reputation. As long as we use the tricolor flag of the Old Guard, we might have a chance to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop when the enemy is shaken on a large scale."
"I agree," Diego said casually. He saw the flag of his old acquaintance, Lucius, the son of sin, in the enemy's flag. The Gray Knight's mentor had a goal. "But there shouldn't be too many people. The assault is about speed, and then we have to attack them unexpectedly. The core of the Army of Chaos is the commander. As long as we can break through it in one fell swoop, we will have a chance to win."
"Alright!" Kalad stood up and Marshal Brittany ordered, "Choose a thousand elites and follow me to battle tomorrow morning. Let's do a big job while the Army of Chaos is still gathering!"
"Yes!"
That night, Kalad personally selected a thousand-man suicide squad. He rewarded most of the wealth in the general and promised them that they would be promoted in the future. Then, he killed livestock and cooked. Everyone ate a full meal and prepared to charge.
The Gray Knight's mentor, Kaldo Diego, held his Titan Greatsword and Thunder God's Shield. He was also ready for battle. At the same time, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Original food is really delicious."
At this time, five heroes from Ubetherik, who had saved Bogenhafen and Helmgard, also came to Helmgard and joined Kalad's suicide squad. They were the Five Rogues of the apocalypse. The leader, Marcus Kluber, proudly told everyone that he had the blood of Brittany nobility. His ancestors were Palawon's Holy Grail Knights and lived in seclusion on the other side of the mountain.
The next morning, the city gate of Helmgard opened.
On the other side, as the commander of the Chaos Army appointed by the eternal Chosen of God Eichahn, the champion of Tzeentch's Chosen of God, Cha Zanyike, realized that even though he had many soldiers and talents, including Lucius' Perverted Fanatics Battle Team, Dark Prophet Malago's Beastly Blessed Battle Team, and his personal Raven Guards Tzeentch's Chosen of God Warriors, logically speaking, he shouldn't be afraid of the Holy War Army of the Knights.
But Zainaik realized that he was surrounded by defeatist strategists.
"Lord Zainaik, we can't fight!"
"Our opponent is the Sun King! The Sun King! Even the tens of Khorasan Devils led by the Seed of Destruction couldn't defeat him. How can we be a match for Laing Macado? "
"We can't fight. Even though we have the advantage in numbers, I predict that we will be defeated!"
"Nobody can defeat the Sun King, nobody!"
"Laing … terrifying, Tricolor Flag … Incubus, Horned Beasts … flee, no meat to eat!"
Before the battle even started, the Army of Chaos was filled with defeatist spirit.
What about Zainaik himself?
Though the Chosen of God was confident in his own power, Zainaik was fearful when he thought of how Laing killed the Legendary Orc King Gwart, defeated the Primordial Devil Prince Birak, and killed the Seed of Destruction.
Can I defeat him? Wouldn't it be a waste of money?
It was a tough job to stop Laing's advance. If not for Eichahn's order, Zainaik wouldn't have done it!
While the army was feeling uneasy, the gates of Helmgard opened early in the morning!
The Tricolor Flag of the Old Guard fluttered in the sky!
A thousand Brittanian elites in brand-new equipment, led by Marshal Kalad and a peerless warrior in silver armor who held a greatsword and a shield, rushed down from the high mountain!
Tricolor Flag? Wasn't that the famous Old Guard who killed all Gods and Buddhas in the world?
A Peerless Warrior in silver armor and a silver helmet with the emblem of a sword burning with silver flames. Wasn't that the Sun Wang Laing?
The Army of Chaos didn't expect a mere thousand Brittany to charge against their tens of thousands of soldiers early in the morning. With the appearance of the familiar Tricolor Flag and the emblem of Laing's family, the Army of Chaos recalled the fear of being dominated by Laing. The army was in chaos.
"Our army has been defeated! Our army has been defeated! "
"Defeated! Our army has lost everything and suffered a crushing defeat! "
"It's Laing! Laing is here! "Zainaik's soldiers were scared out of their wits and fled in all directions.
"Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo ~" The Orcs looked at the familiar Tricolor Flag and were so frightened that they peed and pooped all over the place.
Before they could react, the Army of Chaos was already in chaos.
"Galamenta Kalad is here!" As Kalad took the lead, he charged into the enemy's formation wearing the full-body master-level rune plate armor of Grimnir the dwarf. Immediately, he slew two Chaos Champions and more than thirty Chaos Warriors. He was invincible and unstoppable.
With the morning light, the Battle of Helmgard officially began.
