In the wee hours of the morning, the human soldiers woke up one after another and began to gather and prepare for their meals. Today, they were about to face a great battle. The soldiers were nervous and quiet.
Hundreds of pigs and even more chickens, ducks, fish, and sheep had been slaughtered. Large pieces of fatty meat were sent to the wooden bowls of the soldiers of Midden. Most of the soldiers of Midden were surprised and happy to see that they finally had an extra meal before the great battle. However, they still kept quiet and focused on eating and drinking. They knew that the extra meal was a gift from the nobles. At the same time, it also meant that the battle today would be difficult. At this time, the hot soup and greasy meat might be their last meal.
Let's eat first.
On the other hand, the Old Guard was also preparing for today's meal.
The Old Guard's breakfast was naturally not the greasy food of the ordinary recruits of Midden. In fact, Raymond, the commander of the Halberd Battalion, was disgusted by the large pieces of fatty meat when he went over to take a look.
When he returned to his own camp, the old guards were lining up to get food. A few old guards were frying beef steaks. It was quite a spectacular sight to see hundreds of beef steaks being fried together. Of course, there were also people cooking vegetables and frying eggs.
Avocado, Black Forest sausages, fried eggs, a kilogram of bread and butter, mushroom cream soup, a large piece of fried chicken breast, 220 grams of beef steaks from Ivy Hill, a large spoon of onion and cabbage salad, and a large cup of goat's milk. This was the breakfast of the Old Guard today.
It was very sumptuous. The food of the Old Guard made the people of Midden cry tears of envy and jealousy.
As for this ration, Laing did not feel any pressure at all. This was because the logistics of this great expedition was handled by the Empire. As the commander-in-chief, all he had to do was to ask the Empire for more. The Empire could not refuse because the Brittany supported them out of the agreement. They did not ask for a large sum of money nor did they ask for any unfair terms. They only asked for the soldiers' pay and logistics. This was already very respectful of the agreement. It could be said that Laing's side had made a big concession.
The knights and nobles also believed that they could make some concessions to the Empire. This was to prevent the war from spreading to the Brittany and to strengthen the Alliance of Order. After all, the fall of the Empire would be a disaster for the entire Old World.
"Eat more, Raymond. Today, we have to deal with the allied army of the Orcs and Green Dwarfs. We have to eat our fill to win this war." The Old Guard Commander Bertrand carried a large metal plate. Raymond noticed that Bertrand had an extra fried egg. He smiled at Bertrand and said, "Our opponents are different every time, but we'll win every time. This time, it's the Green Dwarfs and the Orcs' turn to be unlucky."
"That's right, it's their turn this time! Eat your fill, soldiers. Our opponents are the Green Dwarfs Empire's Spider King, Snagra Venomsaliva, and the legendary Orc Supreme Beast King, Getwo Ruthless. " Knight King Laing Macado followed the Holy Grail Knights into the camp. Laing had just eaten his fill. The King said to everyone, "In today's war, the enemy outnumbers us, so you have to listen to my orders. Soldiers, check your weapons after eating. Let's get ready!"
"Yes!"
An hour later, outside Middenstanger City.
The Human army gathered here, and the commander-in-chief built a temporary command post at the front line.
On the battlefield, there was a thick fog. Morgiana was leading the Lake Goddess Prophets to chant a collective Theurgy. The divine power of the Lake Goddess flashed back and forth on the battlefield. The thick fog shrouded the battlefield and concealed the Human army.
"Everything will go according to the original plan." Laing ordered everyone, "Lauren, lead 5,000 men and watch our backs. If I'm not wrong, the Orcs will try to attack from behind to affect us. But as long as you defend Untergarde Castle, it will be a great achievement! There are strong walls and enough cannons. I'll leave it to you. "
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll annihilate any Orcs who try to attack from behind." Royal Regent Lauren took the order and left.
"Prince Emir, you and Lord Tuggenheim are ready to attack. Veronica has already set up the magic formation." Laing ordered, "Due to the thick fog, the Green Dwarfs won't notice that we're gathering on a large scale. Seize the opportunity, but don't fight too much. Lure the enemy in first, then beat them hard!"
"I don't need you to remind me! We all understand! " Big Yurick, Emir Waggle, the Captain of the Teutonic Guards, and the White Wolf Paladin von Tuggenheim took the order and left.
"Aurora and Teresa, are you ready?" Laing asked.
"The river can be thawed at any time," Aurora and Teresa replied.
"Very good. Remember to thaw the river at the critical moment." Laing nodded. The Sorceress and her daughter followed the order and left.
"Berchemund, Hagen, lead the Knights and hide. Get ready. Once you hear my order, attack," Laing said. "But remember, don't act on your own when you hear my order."
"Understood, Your Majesty's orders!" Bohemond and Hagan accepted the order and left.
"Marshal Heinrich and Count Hex, your mission is to guard the front line and be vigilant." Laing said, "Don't attack without my order. Dugan Ironman and his Black Gunpowder Brotherhood, as well as the Rangers of the Straggler Dace, will assist you through long-range firepower."
"Understood." Hex and the others left.
"What about me and Axel?" Boris walked up. "Are we just going to watch from here?"
"Don't worry, Boris." Laing looked at the sky. "The sun is coming out. Morgiana, you can end the divine spell now."
"End it now? Laing, the enemy will notice our formation. " Morgiana was still hesitant. The divine spell of the Lake God's Prophet could conceal and strengthen the army.
"Yes, but we need the sun now." Laing looked at the sky. Knight King said calmly, "The fog is a trap, and the sun is for victory. The Orcs hate the sun, and so do the Green Dwarfs. But they have to fight under the sun with us."
The thick fog dispersed, and in the midst of the long snowstorm, Middleton finally welcomed a somewhat decent sunny day. The weak sun shone down on the land, bringing negligible heat. The human army burst into loud cheers, especially the soldiers of Brittania. Their expedition had indeed been tested by cold and wet weather. There was nothing more delightful than to see the sun.
"They are praising the sun, Your Majesty," Bertrand said to Laing with a smile. "They are cheering for the sun. This is rare in Brittany."
"Ha, that's right. After all, Brittany's climate is warm and livable with abundant precipitation." Laing raised his head, and the sun shone on Knight King. "This is a good sign!"
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?" Laing said loudly. "The grand symphony is about to start. Everyone has their own instruments. Let the drummers beat the drums and move forward. We don't have to hide."
"Dong, dong, dong dong dong, dong dong."
At this time, in the southwest of Middleton, the Green Dwarfs King, Snagra Venomspittle, was sitting on his Anaknary Queen Spider. The Goblin Warlord was observing the situation. After the fog dispersed, he saw the Human army.
The army of Midden was advancing. The flag bearers of Midden, who were holding the blue and white wolf head flag of Midden, proudly pointed the flag at the sky. The Teuton Guards and the Walking White Wolf Knights were at the front. These elites of Midden, who were fully clad in heavy armor, wielded giant hammers, wore wolf skins, and all of them had thick long hair and large beards. The entire army looked very sturdy. The steel between the lines shone under the dull gray light. The formation was well-organized and closely connected. The sharp weapons protruded from the ground, forming a line of slaughter. Moist water droplets filled the air in the dissipating morning fog. The sun shone on the armor, which was shining brightly.
The King of Spiders, Snagra, was very excited. He kept screaming, praying for the blessings of the Spider God. The main army of the Green Dwarfs in the Black Pit was the Barbarian Orcs and Goblins. Almost all of the Barbarian Orcs believed in the Black Pit, but the Goblins did not believe in Brother Hell. Instead, they believed in the legendary Spider God. There was a shrine to the Spider God in the Black Pit. The Goblins all rode on spiders to fight. As the King of Spiders, the brown Anaknary Queen Spider that Snagra rode was the largest and most evil of all the spiders.
Snagra firmly believed that the world would be ruled by spiders one day. The web of spiders would cover the entire world. This was the mission given to him by the Spider God. He would become the greatest King of Spiders!
"Forward! Little ones! Advance! I'm thinking that those glittering shrimps in wolf skins are the legendary Teuton Guards! "Snagra immediately ordered," For the Spider God! For the Black Pit! "
Spiders fell from the trees like hailstones. The smaller spiders had goblin spider riders. Large groups of Barbarian Orcs rushed out of the Black Forest, holding the most primitive bone spears and flintstone axes. They surged out like a tide.
"How many enemies are there? Ten times, twenty times, or thirty times? "In the Teuton Guards, Big Yuric Emir was chatting with the White Wolf Holy Knight, Tuggenheim.
"No matter how many enemies there are, this is not something you should be concerned about, Tuggenheim." Big Yuric Emir waved the Wolf God's Warhammer in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Now, sons of Yuric, it is time to show your discipline and will. No matter how many enemies there are, advance and wait for my orders. Once I order you to retreat, immediately follow the original plan and retreat!"
"Yes!" The people of Midden ignored the Green Dwarfs and advanced resolutely. Under the command of the bugle and drum, they slowly advanced.
"Very good, very good. That's it. That's right." On the command platform in the distance, Laing and Boris were holding a telescope and watching the battle closely. Knight King noticed that before the Teuton Guards had even begun to retreat, the Green Dwarfs had all swarmed forward. "The beginning is always so beautiful."
It didn't take long for the distance between the two sides to close. The people of Midden Hill began to enter the shooting range of the Green Spider Riders and the Barbarian Beastmen archers. Now, hundreds of crude short bows were aimed at the people of Midden Hill. Arrows rained down from the sky like a swarm of locusts.
The people of Midden did not know what to do. There were enemies everywhere in front of them. It seemed like the human shrimps had realized how stupid it was for them to charge forward recklessly. The Teuton Guards who were walking at the front paused as if they were hesitating. Soon, they were overwhelmed by the rain of arrows from the Green Dwarfs. The arrows had a low hit rate, but they could not even lift their heads.
As if they realized that they couldn't do anything if this continued, the army of Midden hesitated, hesitated, and then stopped. The Sword of Yuric's army raised their shields to the sky to defend against the arrows, but the Teuton Guards and White Wolf Knights on foot didn't have shields. Two of them fell to the ground. After hesitating for two to three minutes, the people of Midden finally began to slowly retreat.
"The shrimps are retreating! The shrimps are retreating! Little ones, this is Brother What's blessing! This is the beginning of our great destiny! "The Barbarian Orc Warlord Grote roared," WAAAAGH! "
“waaaaagh！！！” All the Barbarian Orcs' morale soared under the warlord's roar. They didn't think about anything else and began to charge forward! Tens of thousands of Barbarian Orcs rushed out of the forest and rolled towards the army of Midden!
"Sigh, wait! This is really Zhang Dou. Don't you have any eyesight? Old Monka was shocked. The Barbarians are like this. They don't pull back at all! " The King of the Green Dwarfs, Snagra, still wanted to watch. He felt that the enemy was the most elite Teuton Guards. How could they retreat so easily?
However, the Barbarian Orcs had already charged forward. Snagra was not Skarnik, the general of Eight Peaks Mountain. The relationship between the King of Spiders and the Barbarian Orcs was more of a cooperation than a commander. It would be a stretch to call him a subordinate. The goblin spider riders couldn't fight well without the help of the Barbarian Orcs. Snagra didn't think too much about it. "Little ones, for the Black Pit, for the Spider God, WAAAAGH!"
"WAAAAGH!" Spiders fell from the trees like hailstones. The twisted vegetation under their feet was filled with tiny spider-like creatures. The carapace-like cavalry rushed down from the nearby branches and formed a battle line. Javelins, feather arrows, and crude spears charged fiercely towards the army of Midden.
The army of Midden was currently retreating. When they saw the Green Dwarfs, they were a little flustered. However, the Teuton Guards, the White Wolf Knights, and the Sword of Uric were in charge of bringing up the rear. Big Uric and the White Wolf Holy Knights were also in charge. Orders were given one after another, and the formation didn't disperse.
"Retreating is a complicated and high-level military technique." Laing placed his monocular on Morgiana's shoulder. The Knight King's lips curled up slightly. "There must be a division of labor. The elites bring up the rear, and the command is clear. The soldiers need to be well trained and have strict discipline. There must be a soul who can control the situation."
"This is the Thuringians!" Boris said proudly. He knew that the Green Dwarfs were falling into their trap.
The attack of the Wild Orcs made the Forest Goblins and Spider Riders fearless. The Spider Riders also made the Wild Orcs excited. They tried to chase after the army of Midden, but the army of Midden retreated quickly. The Wild Orcs only managed to close the distance between them and the Midden army.
They had also fallen into Veronica's ambush.
At this moment, the weather changed. Above the dome, dark clouds covered the sky, and whirlpools filled the sky.
The Sorceress of the Sorceress Veronica's spell was ready. She chanted an ancient incantation towards the sky, and the entire Garland Witches under her joined forces to cast the spell. Flames of witchcraft flew into the sky, and the red and black light illuminated the entire cloud layer.
"Great Fire Spell, Judgement of the End!"
It was a magnificent scene that could not be described with words. Hundreds of burning meteors with a diameter of several meters were pulled to the ground by Veronica's will. The Green Dwarfs raised their heads and looked at the sky. Even the Wild Orcs who were not afraid of anything were shocked by this scene. Their minds suddenly flashed with memories from ancient times.
That was the end of the world, the end of everything. The judgement of the Ancient Saint had arrived!
A series of explosions and soaring air waves drowned nearly ten thousand Green Dwarfs. The Spider Riders and Wild Orcs were swallowed by the flames of the explosions and the smoke from the collision. The Wild Orcs who were still arrogant just a moment ago were crushed to the ground, and the Spider Riders were killed in large numbers. Every meteor smashed several Goblins and Spiders together into a mess of broken limbs.
The Green Dwarfs were bewildered by this scene. Snagra Poisonous Saliva couldn't believe that he had lost a fifth of his army at the start of the battle. At this moment, the Midden army stopped retreating. They formed a tight formation, and the Artillerymen on the high ground opened fire. The Mortar Cannons, Hell Bazookas, and Cannons were fired together, dying the entire sky the color of flames!
He couldn't retreat. If he ordered a retreat, he would lose his position as the Spider King! Snagra Poisonous Saliva gritted his teeth and ordered his army to advance!
"It's your turn, Boris, Axel." Laing put down his binoculars and said, "That's all for the Green Dwarfs. Now, lead your army and attack the Orcs from the front. Berchemund and Hagan's Knights will support you!"
"Yes!" Boris and Axel received the order and left.
"Humph!" Laing sneered.
"Drakoward, Spider King? Supreme Orc Beast King? "
"None of you can escape today!"
