Waldbach Town, inside the church of the Church of Justice in the center of the town.
Laing, Suria, Kalade, Pfitzman, and the others were standing in the church, looking at the map of Weissen Hill.
On the map, three black lines were coming from the south of Weissen Hill. They had already advanced to a place very close to Waldbach Town.
The captain of the town guards only left a hundred or so soldiers to defend the town. He really didn't expect Laing to personally lead this army to the south. He felt both flattered and relieved.
"How much do you know about the situation at the frontline? How much do you know about the enemy? "Laing looked at the map and pointed his finger at the vicinity of Waldbach Town.
Waldbach Town used to be a town of Saul Hill. It was located at the border between Saul Hill and Weissen Hill. As everyone knew, about seven hundred years ago, the green-skinned warlord "Iron Claw" Gobard invaded the Empire and destroyed the entire Saul Hill. The Kurfürst of Saul Hill died in battle. The entire Kurfürst family and all the troops were annihilated. Gobard finally stopped in front of Brunswick. However, Saul Hill was unable to recover and was merged into Weissen Hill.
"Currently, all the land of the former Saul Hill has basically fallen. At least twenty thousand people and three thousand soldiers have died in this invasion." The captain of the town guards of Waldbach Town introduced, "Currently, only White Tower City and a few towns in the north haven't fallen. However, it's only a matter of time."
"How many enemies are there?" Laing frowned. This time, he only brought four thousand soldiers with him. Considering the logistics and the need for backup, he could only bring three thousand soldiers into the battle.
"I don't know. Some of the soldiers and refugees who escaped from the frontline said that they couldn't even see the number of enemies … It seems that they are endless." The captain of the town guards was a little scared.
"Couldn't see the number of enemies?!" Before Laing could say anything, Pfitzman, the commander of the Burning Sun Knights, took the initiative to speak. He was wearing a full set of obsidian plate armor. The entire plate armor was inlaid with an astonishing amount of gold, silver, and gemstones. Without a doubt, the value of Pfitzman's equipment was astronomical.
However, in today's meeting, no one's equipment was worse than his.
Laing's silver Gray Knight Exquisite Power Armor was not an ordinary product. Although it did not have too many decorations and looked simple from the outside, Pfitzman could still feel the power contained in it.
Kalad was wearing a set of full-body plate armor made by Delon Fienson and the rune smiths of the Angrande clan. The armor was polished until it shone brilliantly. Three ancient dwarven runes glowed around the armor. Kalad had spent five thousand crowns on the armor, and that was the price the dwarves had given him as a friend.
As for Suria, it was needless to say. Until now, Pfitzman still couldn't figure out where Laing's wife got the full-body plate armor that was shining like the sun.
The Great Commander of the Burning Sun Knights, who had always given off a dazzling impression while charging, was almost blinded by the dazzling light!
"Yes, we can't see the number clearly." The guard captain hurriedly explained, "Because during the attack, the army of Chaos is always surrounded by green and black fog. We don't know how many people there are. We can only see an endless stream of soldiers rushing out of the fog, and then the powerful war machines and those terrifying cannons shatter the city walls. There are also hundreds of Chaos Giants and Chaos Ogres."
"Okay, I see." Laing nodded and said to the guard captain, "You can retreat first. You can't help us here. The whole town has been evacuated anyway."
"But …" The guard captain was still a little hesitant.
"Just say it's my order," Laing said calmly.
"Yes!" The guard captain no longer hesitated. He bowed and said loudly, "Mr. Laing, you must win! The people of Wayson and Saul will always be grateful for your support and contribution! "
The guard captain led a few soldiers in shabby clothes out of the Church of Justice, leaving Laing and the others alone.
As soon as the guard captain left, a scout reported that a vanguard of 500 Kurgan cavalry and thousands of Orcs were approaching.
The room became quiet. Laing lifted his head and continued to look at the map. Everyone was waiting for his decision.
"Laing, I think we can take this opportunity to eliminate the vanguard." Kalad walked up and pointed at the map. "Now, the Army of Chaos is focused on White Tower City. Look, they are separated from their front and back."
"Extermination is a must." Clayon nodded. He was still staring at the map. "But how do we do it? Also, how can I help Nu 'er? "
At this time, Suria walked out. Her long golden curly hair was draped over her shoulders. She gazed at the map and said, "According to the speed of the Army of Chaos, they will arrive at Nur in about a month. What we have to do is to eliminate the enemy's vital forces. According to the intelligence, the Army of Chaos can continuously attack cities and castles. They can only rely on a few things."
"The Chaos Giants, the Plague Ogres, the War Mammoths in the tribe, and … the war machines of the Chaos Dwarves," Pfitzman said.
"The most threatening ones are the war machines of the Plague Ogres and the Chaos Dwarves. The combat power of the Plague Ogres is astonishing, and they can withstand more damage under the blessings of the Evil God. Many of the Plague Ogres also know how to use stomach magic and know how to use boulders to attack cities." Sulia's beautiful and calm delicate face had a thoughtful look on it. "As for the war machines of the Chaos Dwarves, it is said that they are more powerful than Nurr's war machines and the war machines made by the dwarves. The defenders of Hoffen City and Grey Mane Castle once had great confidence in the city's defense and thought that they could hold on for at least three days. However, under the artillery fire of the Chaos Dwarves, they were completely annihilated in less than three hours."
"That's right. Before the Army of Chaos arrives at Nur, we have to eliminate these two threats, or at least one of them!" Laing looked at the map and said, "Let us eliminate the vanguard first."
"Let us set up an ambush on this path!" Laing pointed his finger at the path of Waldbach Town and said, "The time of Chaos' arrogance will soon be over!"
No one had any objections to Laing's decision. Even the Brittany knights who abided by the spirit of chivalry agreed with Laing's decision to set up an ambush for the enemy.
There was no need to talk about chivalry when dealing with these Chaos bastards!
"Damn it, if only Veronica or Teresa were here." Laing sighed softly when everyone was carefully thinking about how to set up the ambush. "The wizards in Nur are busy reinforcing the city's defenses and strengthening the magic circles. If we have the help of the wizards this time, the effect of this ambush will be much better."
When Laing asked Kalad to lead the army of knights to support Nur, he also asked Veronica or Teresa to come with him to support Nur. But at this time, Veronica was in seclusion trying to break through to the Sanctuary-realm, while Teresa was busy studying a brand-new spell that Aurora had taught her. So the two Gallan witches did not have time to come to the Empire to help.
"Get ready." Laing looked up and said, "Let's give these Chaos bastards an unforgettable memory!"
"Yes!"
… I don't need to talk about chivalry …
About two hours later, on a small road leading to the outskirts of Waldbach City.
The Orc King Hulde was leading a large Orc army along the road. In front of them were more than three hundred rotten knights of Nurgle. The rotten knights led by Valdés, the champion of Nurgle, were no longer in human form. Even if they used armor and iron chains to forcefully wrap themselves, rotten pus was dripping from the gaps of the armor.
Very few people knew that Hulde was not an Orc. He was a native of Obion Island, cleansing the Chaos corruption and guarding the Ancient Saint ruins for a living.
However, his fate was changed after a major incident. The first Demon Prince in history, Birak, invaded Obion Island and corrupted a large number of Truth Worshippers. Hulde saw with his own eyes that his entire tribe's relatives, wives, daughters, and compatriots were corrupted or died tragically. In extreme anger, lush hair and sharp horns broke out from under his skin, and he became a Chaos Orc.
Now, his former duty and mission had been forgotten. Hulde was only an Orc general, searching for his own glory, promotion, and the opportunity to conquer and destroy under the name of the Dark Gods.
Along the way, the rotten knights and the Orc army gathered together and massacred to prove themselves to the Evil Gods. They carried out countless massacres in the name of Nurgle. However, due to the scorched earth of Wesen Region, the number of sacrifices wasn't enough to please the Evil Gods.
The vanguard of Chaos was approaching Waldbach. The bloodthirsty Orcs couldn't wait to have a taste of a new feast.
"Hoo … feel … wind … smell … wrong." When he saw the town, the Orc King stopped in his tracks. He lifted his head and said, "Something's wrong!"
"What, wrong? No, wrong! " The Nurgle champion, Valdés, was swollen like a pustule. His face was swollen like a ball, and there was a curved horn on his head as he said, "Advance!"
"Hoo …" The Orc King was still shaking his head. He tried to order the vanguard to stop, but the chaotic commands of the Orcs and the angry roars of the Nurgle champion made the vanguard a mess.
At this moment, an indescribable sense of fear rose in Hulde's heart. Before he could give a warning, the thunderous sounds of Muskets filled both ends of the road!
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
A loud, ear-piercing sound shook the forest on both sides of the road! Thousands of Musketeers and Cavalrymen appeared from the forest by the roadside. Under the orders of the Cavalrymen, they raised their firearms and fired mercilessly at the advancing Orcs and corrupted Knights!
Waves of gunfire drowned out the Chaos vanguard army. Before the Orcs could react, a huge, surging cloud of dust engulfed them. The rain of bullets and locust-like bullets penetrated and killed the Orcs on the flanks of the vanguard army.
"Ambush … battle!" The Orc King Hulde was shouting. He raised his rusty sword and ordered his Orcs to be alert and counterattack. A deeper sound shook Hulde's eardrums.
More Vanguard Cavalrymen appeared from the forest. They were Nur Cavalrymen, and their faces were filled with hatred. They raised the grenade launchers produced by the Nur Military Factory and raised them mercilessly.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh." Seventy to eighty grenades fell in a perfect parabola into the vanguard formation. A series of explosions and roars engulfed the Chaos vanguard. In the blink of an eye, tens of rotten knights and hundreds of Orcs were engulfed by the flames of the explosions. Amidst the blood and flames, severed limbs flew, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
"Hold on!" Huerde let out a high-pitched roar, but it was of no help to the chaotic battle.
The entire Vanguard of Chaos was shocked by what had just happened to them. The Nurgol champion Valdés was thrown off his warhorse and fell to the ground. His body was so bloated that he could not even stand up without help.
Just as the Chaos vanguard's morale was on the verge of collapse, the large group of Pike Cavalrymen, Vanguard Cavalrymen, and old guards stopped firing. After firing all the bullets in their pistols and muskets, they had to reload.
But that was enough.
"Advance! Knights! For the Lady! For Brittany! "
"For the Nur! For the Goddess Mirmidia! For the Empire! "
Huge waves of suffocating dust appeared from both sides of the forest. A large group of Knights formed a steel torrent that surged out of the forest. They carried extreme hatred and fanatical beliefs as they transformed into a sharp silver tide that charged towards the Chaos vanguard!
The earth trembled. Laing, who was at the forefront, raised his War Hammer and shouted the name of the Goddess of the Lake. Behind him, the Holy Grail Knights led the Kingdom Knights and Ranger Knights to charge towards the Orc formation. In the blink of an eye, the Orc formation was torn into tens of pieces!
Hulde wanted to resist, but Laing saw the figure of the Orc King. The Mjolnir in his hand flashed with lightning, and he became a silver meteor that charged towards the Orc King. The hundreds of Orcs, Horned Beasts, and Bighorn Beasts were killed by the furious Brittany Knights. In a few breaths, Laing had arrived in front of Hulde! The War Hammer fell!
Hulde raised his Sword to block the attack.
"Pa!" Fresh blood splattered on the ground, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard. Hulde's body fell to the ground weakly. His buttocks landed on the thick soil of Wyson Territory, and he howled in pain. His Sword was broken by Laing's War Hammer, and his arm was broken as well.
When Hulde tried to jump back to dodge Laing's attack, a shout came from afar. Suria, who was as powerful as the Sun, had arrived. The valiant female Knight raised the Sword of Lyonasai and stabbed it into the neck of the Orc King. The terrifying energy of the Sword made Hulde howl in pain as he retreated.
Suria didn't give Hulde any chances. She slashed the Sword of Lyonasai across Hulde's neck, and the Orc King collapsed to the ground.
The Orc army watched in horror as their Orc King was beheaded like a chicken. The Chaos creatures lost their will to fight and fled in fear.
"For the Lady!" Not far away, Kalad and the Empire Knights shouted with fighting spirit. The head of the Nurgol Champion, Valdés, fell to the ground. Kalad waved his Divine Sword Durandale emotionlessly and slashed two rotten Knights into halves.
Behind him, the Scorching Sun Knights and Brittany Knights charged forward. Their armor reflected the bright rays of the Sun, and the torrent of steel drowned the Chaos vanguard army.
The battle ended.
Thirty minutes later, Laing and the rest received new intelligence from the messy battlefield.
"Scouts report that the Chaos army is besieging White Tower City. There are too many enemies to count," the scout reported loudly.
The Great Commander of the Burning Sun Knights, Pfitzman, walked up and said, "Sir Ryan, our knights have received news that a large transport fleet of Chaos Dwarves is carrying a large number of war machines, especially many Chaos Hell Cannons. They are approaching White Tower City. If we can use a surprise attack to completely eliminate this transport fleet of Chaos Dwarves and destroy these Chaos Hell Cannons, we might be able to greatly reduce the long-range firepower of these Chaos Dwarves and gain an advantage for Nurr's artillery in the future.
"No! No! " Black Heart Reppu also walked forward. This infamous mercenary baron was covered in blood. He took the initiative to suggest to Laing, "The Chaos Dwarves' firepower is indeed powerful, but the Plague Ogres are our main targets. Scouts have found that the Plague Ogres are following the Chaos army to attack White Tower City. Their camp is now empty. I suggest that we send an elite team to infiltrate the camp of the Plague Ogres and bury a large amount of gunpowder in the food of the Plague Ogres. Then, we'll ring the dinner bell and catch all the hungry Plague Ogres in one fell swoop. Once we succeed, the enemy will no longer have the support of the Plague Ogres!"
"White Tower City won't be able to hold on for long. There's not enough time for us to accomplish two goals at the same time!" Suria frowned after hearing the report. "The Chaos Hell Cannons are a great threat to the city's defense, but the Plague Ogres are also a threat to the Empire's infantry and positions."
"Lord Laing, the decision is yours!"
"Hmm …" Laing thought carefully and immediately made a decision.
"I've decided …"
