Laing wielded the Goddess of Vengeance and killed his way through the Orc army.
In the heavy rain, the Gray Knight Psionic Armor and the Goddess of Vengeance were invincible.
From the inferior Horned Beasts to the elite Large Horned Beasts.
From the Chaos Warhounds, Razorbeasts, Harpies, and large Minotaurs.
None of the creatures were Laing's match. The dazzling light blue Longsword charged through the Orc army. On the battlefield, whenever the Orcs tried to organize a counterattack, Laing would charge in with the Goddess of Vengeance and thwart their weak efforts.
Any resistance was crushed. What was left were the chaotic Orcs and the advancing Human army.
The Orc King and the Great Shaman realized that the situation wasn't good. They gave up on the elite Doomsday Bulls and Cyclops battalions. They brought their elite troops and retreated from the battlefield, leaving behind a few Orc battalions.
"Lord Laing, don't give up on us!" A group of Serfs was surrounded by Orcs. Laing strode forward and said, "Hold on!"
"Ah … Human!" Another Orc leader appeared in front of Laing.
"Go to hell! Beast! " The Goddess of Vengeance was at full power, and the sacred light blinded the Orc leader. Then, the Longsword drew a beautiful arc.
The white light flashed, and the Orc leader's Machete, right arm, and head were split into two.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah!" Laing roared even louder than the Orcs. This was the third Orc leader that he killed. "For the Lady!"
"For the Lady!" Roars and angry shouts reverberated on the battlefield. The Orcs who lost their leader were like stray dogs. Even the Serfs dared to beat them up.
Chaos, blood, and broken limbs covered the battlefield.
"Ha!" Julius raised his shield, and the Minotaur's Axe bounced off the shield. The Royal Knight wielded his Longsword, and the Minotaur's thigh was injured. The Minotaur groaned as he tried to stand up. Julius stabbed the Minotaur's chest and said, "Die!"
Sweat and rainwater mixed together and washed away the filth. The Orcs lost their last bit of morale, and they fled in all directions.
Gabriel was about to lead his troops in pursuit when Sulia reached out to stop him. The female knight's long blonde hair was also soaked by the rain. She hurriedly said, "Sir Gabriel, don't chase after them. The soldiers have reached their limit."
The frenzied Marquis realized that both the Knights and the serfs were at their limits. It wasn't a good idea to pursue the Orc army in the heavy rain. Gabriel gave up the pursuit and stood at his original spot, shouting, "Victory! Victory! "
"Victory!"
"We are victorious!"
"Go to hell, beasts!"
"The Gods will laugh at your cowardice!"
The soldiers roared and shouted. They stood on top of the Orc corpses and shouted for their victory. The Knights proudly recounted how many beasts they had killed, the sergeants calculated how much money they could exchange for their heads, and the Serfs searched the battlefield for new loot.
In this battle, the Knights' right army killed at least 2,000 Orcs. It was a great loss for the Orc army.
Laing sheathed his Sword of Vengeance, and he was panting. After wearing the Mech Armor and using Vengeance for two hours, he had expended more than half of his energy. Fortunately, they were victorious.
The Knight of the Holy Grail raised his War Hammer and said, "Victory! We have won this battle for the Lady and Brittany! "
"Victory! Victory! Victory! "Hearing the commander-in-chief's words, everyone responded loudly.
In the pouring rain, the lightning illuminated the battlefield. Laing's silhouette in the pale lightning and his posture on top of the Orc corpses were deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.
This was the invincible Knight of the Holy Grail, the champion of the Lake Nymph.
"Clean up the battlefield. Don't stay here!"
"Yes!"
"Be careful of the Orcs that aren't dead. Remember to stab them. We don't need captives!"
Ryan gave out orders one after another. Then, he noticed a young man walking past him.
It was Denis, the young man who had warned him of the heavy rain that night. Ryan noticed that he was holding several heads and was about to ask the knight for a reward, so he found Gabriel and whispered a few words to the Marquis.
"Oh! Of course, he will be rewarded for his actions! " Gabriel nodded. The rain forced him to reply loudly, "Since Lord Laing thinks he's worth it, I have no other opinion. After all, Lord Laing brought us victory. Haha!"
"Thank you very much, Gabriel. Thank you very much." Laing nodded and thanked him.
After the simple exchange, Laing suddenly felt that there was no more rain on his head.
He turned his head and saw Suria holding an umbrella for him. She smiled brightly and said, "Lord Laing, this is my gratitude to you."
"I'm the one who wants to thank you, Miss Suria." Laing smiled and nodded. He was wet all over, so it didn't matter if he held an umbrella.
He understood the intentions of the Knight. If he didn't hold an umbrella, he would never be dry.
The Knight of the Holy Grail started giving orders. "Mr. Deniz! Please come over! "
The battlefield quieted down.
The serfs and knights all looked at the young man.
In the pouring rain, Deniz turned around. His face was full of shock and ecstasy. The young man trotted all the way to Laing. His body was soaked in mud and rain. "Lord Laing?"
"Let me see what you got?"
"Yes, yes! My baron! "Deniz offered his harvest, the heads of a horned beast and three inferior horned beasts.
Laing nodded slowly. This young man was really good enough.
He made up his mind. "Mr. Deniz, please kneel down!"
"Yes! Yes! My baron! "The young man realized something. He was overjoyed and directly knelt in the mud and the pile of corpses.
This is it! This is it! The serfs present looked at the young man kneeling in the rain with jealousy.
Will it happen?
"Mr. Deniz, you used your information to ensure the victory of this war. You used your bravery to prove your strength." Laing said in a deep voice. Suria, who was standing next to him, could feel the baron's seriousness.
Deniz's body was trembling violently. He just frantically kowtowed until his face was covered with mud.
"Because of your contribution, I, Lady's Champion, Knight of the Holy Grail, Baron Laing -Macado, officially make you a sergeant. Are you willing?"
"Deniz is willing!" The serf was still kowtowing frantically.
So the Knight of the Holy Grail gently touched the serf's shoulder with the handle of his warhammer, completing the ceremony.
His dream came true.
In this dark age, war was the only hope for serfs to be promoted. Perhaps the death of hundreds of serfs could not be exchanged for the promotion of a serf, but this was the only chance for serfs to change their fate.
He grasped it.
Deniz just wanted to cry.
But Laing did not want to give him time to cry. The Knight of the Holy Grail ordered, "Quickly clean up the battlefield. We should retreat. Find a place to make a fire and shelter from the rain! If this goes on, everyone will fall sick! "
"Yes!" The soldiers hastened their actions. Under Laing's stern gaze, Deniz quickly got up and packed up his things while crying.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the Right Army gathered all the troops. They found a forest canyon three kilometers away from the camp as a shelter from the rain. The serfs used various materials to build simple canopies and hid in them to warm themselves. The knights also hid in their tents to warm themselves. Wearing their armor, they fought in the heavy rain. Even though it was summer, many knights were shivering from the cold.
Compared to the Orcs, Humans were not good at fighting in the forest and heavy rain.
In the main tent, Laing, Gabriel, and Julius were warming themselves by the fire. Laing was not afraid. He had Psionic Protection, so he used Psionic Energy to dry his clothes. The three of them had boiled water to take a bath. Then, they sat around the fire and drank hot soup.
After such an intense battle, even though they were Legendary warriors, Julius and Gabriel were exhausted.
After a while, Marchioness Suria and her maid Sylvia, who had changed into a clean dress, came to the two of them. The female knight who had just finished bathing had a faint fragrance on her body. She sat beside her brother and Leon.
They started to discuss their next course of action. "We've repelled another Orc attack. What's next?"
Gabriel smiled and said, "Don't worry. If I'm not wrong, the Orcs won't find trouble with us."
"I've fought with the Orcs for more than 20 years. I know that after such a setback, they won't fight with us unless they have no choice. Lord Laing's attack has made them suffer. The appearance of the Holy Grail Knight will make them fearful."
Laing smiled and said, "Yes, that's the way to fight the Orcs. Whoever is cowardly loses."
"For the next few days, we'll be relatively peaceful. There are many casualties, and the Knights are exhausted from fighting in the heavy rain. We need one or two days to rest and reorganize."
The right army decided to rest and reorganize at the canyon while waiting for the rainy season to pass.
…
When Angci received the news from Marquis Gabriel, he was certain that the right army had encountered the main force of the Orcs.
He didn't have to worry about being ambushed!
On the 3rd of September, he and Earl Adelaide led the Middle and Left Army deep into the forest to attack the Orcs.
On the 5th of September, which was the second day after Laing defeated the Orcs, the two armies entered the forest.
During the march, the army encountered small groups of Orcs. Angci was cautious. He restrained his Knights from venturing deep into the forest and from leaving the army.
Count Adred was different.
Earl Adelaide of the Left Army was the Earl of Lyonasser. Though he was the commander of the Left Army, he wasn't a Marquis with the King's Coat of Arms who could command the army. He wasn't a Holy Grail Knight like Laing who could command the army based on his prestige.
Earl Adelaide didn't have enough control over the Left Army.
When the Knights saw a small group of Orcs, they would shout and chase after the Orcs. The Orcs were frightened and fled, so the Knights chased after them.
"Advance! Advance! For the Lady! For Brittany! " Every Knight hoped to attract the attention of the Lady with his heroic performance. Earl Adelaide couldn't restrain the Knights' desire for battle merits, or rather, he didn't intend to restrain them.
The main force of the Orcs was at the Right Army, which was tens of kilometers away from the Left Army!
If the Knights didn't gain more merits, when would they do so?
The army of more than ten thousand knights gradually formed a long snake formation. The knights who were eager to make a name for themselves rushed to the front of the entire army. They were already several kilometers away from the serf infantry and the logisticians at the back.
On the afternoon of the 6th of September, the Left Army advanced to a hilly region.
"My Earl, the Wright Forest is in front!" a Knight said to Earl Adelaide.
The Wright Forest was a highland with many valleys. The terrain was undulating, and there were many paths in the valleys. There was a dense oak forest with few shrubs. Horses and men could travel through the forest without obstruction.
"Very good! Soldiers, let's speed up through the forest. Victory is near! "Earl Adelaide was in a good mood. He immediately gave the order.
The Knights had been traveling in the dense forest for a few days. Finally, they saw a forest where they could ride their horses. They shouted and got on their horses and trotted through the forest.
The Knights' cheerful mood didn't last long. In the afternoon, the sky turned gloomy. Dark clouds covered the sky, and thunder boomed in the sky.
"D * mn, it's going to rain."
"Soldiers! Take shelter from the rain! "
"Be careful, don't let your armor get wet!"
The army had no choice but to stop moving forward and find a place to take shelter from the rain. The knight squires hurriedly covered the armor of the knights with oilcloth to properly preserve the armor of the knights. The serfs in groups of three to five looked for trees to take shelter from the rain. The entire army stretched for several kilometers.
The thunder was getting louder and louder, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The downpour poured over the entire Wright Forest. Under the cloudy sky, the serf soldiers and knights could only curse the terrible weather while looking for a place to hide from the rain.
The forest became a swamp.
The sound of the rain covered other sounds, and the mud covered the sound of the hooves.
In the darkness, countless evil creatures were approaching the forest. After the Orc army was defeated by Laing, they used the most secretive Beast Trail to reach the forest in two days.
Hundreds and thousands of three-meter tall Horned Beasts wielding large axes were lined up in a formation. Behind them were thousands of Horned Beasts and Inferior Horned Beasts. They were approaching from two directions.
Hundreds of large Minotaurs approached the army from another direction. Behind them were countless Chaos War Hounds, Razorbeasts, and Chaos Ogres.
On an Orc chariot, the Orc King "Bloody Horn" Malas scrutinized the formation of the Knights. After confirming that there were no Holy Grail Knights, he revealed a cruel and bloodthirsty smile. "No … Holy Grail! Humans … cowards! "
"Attack?" The Great Shaman, "Heart Devourer" Groz, spewed out thick Decaying Fumes.
"No, wait … wait!" Malas extended his claws and signaled for the army to wait.
After the heavy rain lasted for a few hours, the violent winds and rain flooded the entire forest. The forest became a vast swamp, and the dark night shrouded the sky. The Knights complained bitterly.
"Wait …" Malas finally saw the army that he wanted to see. "Wait a little longer."
Numerous Doomsday Bulls and Four-armed Bull Devils joined the formation. They trampled mercilessly through the Orc army. A few meters tall Cyclops wielded a large wooden club and joined the Orc army from the rear.
When the Doomsday Bulls and Cyclops reached the front of the Orc army, the Orc King waved his hand forcefully. "Now … attack!"
A mournful and oppressive horn sounded from the depths of the forest.
"Duu … Woo, woo, woo!!!"
In the darkness of the storm, the Orc army charged forward.
