The tsunami-like cheers were quickly paused under Ryan's command.
By now, it was already afternoon. The knights who had started the battle with the orcs were already very tired, but their morale was still high. Leon decided to divide the army into two groups. The knights would lead the Brittanian infantry to continue the pursuit of the orcs on the battlefield.
The second batch of troops was the reserve team led by Morgiana, the Holy Grail Guards, a small number of knights in Bastogne, and the old guards personally led by Ryan. They went west to support the army of Midden that was fighting fiercely with the Black Pit Green Skin Army.
When the neat formation of the Old Guard led by Laing entered the battlefield, the Black Pit Green-skinned Creatures were attacked from the side. After a long battle and heavy casualties, the Knight King entered the battlefield.
The Doomsday Judgement consumed most of Veronica's Mana. When Laing entered the battlefield, Veronica and her Garan Witches cast another powerful spell.
Light-type Great Curse, Sunburst.
Eight beams of light enveloped the battlefield. It was extremely bright and dazzling.
Big Yurick and von Tuggenheim didn't understand why Veronica would cast such a spell. The Green Dwarfs weren't afraid of light, and their formation was so dense. Wouldn't it be better to cast a Meteorite Spell or a few Flaming Skulls?
However, everyone soon understood the reason behind Veronica's actions.
Yes, the Green Dwarfs weren't afraid of strong light, but their Spiders and Anaknarei Spiders were afraid of strong light.
On the battlefield, the situation was irreversible. The Spider King realized that the Orcs had lost completely, and he was going to lose decisively.
The Gray Spider under him trembled violently under the strong light and didn't listen to his commands. This Gray Spider was a gift from the Spider God to Snagra Venomsaliva. It had fought alongside the Spider King for more than ten years, but now, it didn't listen to his commands.
The Humans' military song came from afar, and the Bearskin Hat and Golden Grail Knights came rolling in.
Facing attacks from both sides and the lack of support from the Wild Beastmen, Snagra Poisonspit ordered a retreat, but it was already too late.
Amidst the bloodbath, the Old Guard lined up neatly and advanced as a group. These proud Brittany soldiers sang the military song loudly. Today, they added another glorious victory to their proud history!
The Legendary Orc army, the Drakoward Destroyer army, was annihilated!
The Legendary Orc army, the Bloody Bull Minotaur army, was annihilated!
The legendary Orc army, Thunderstorm Dragon Demon Legion, was defeated!
What could stop them now?
Of course, after fighting the three Legendary Orc armies, the Old Guard paid the price of 102 dead and more than 500 injured. This was a heavy loss, and it made Laing's heart ache. The Knight King thought that he had to be prepared for heavy losses when he sent his elite troops to fight. Laing had complained about the strategy of "staying low" and "conserving strength" in both his previous and current lives. But when it came to himself, he felt heartache.
Fortunately, the Lake Goddess's Divine Decree had been passed down immediately during the battle. Morgianna's two large-scale healing spells directly healed all the injured old guards and restored their strength. Even if the Lake Goddess Witch was a high-level Saint, she wouldn't be able to do this on her own. It must have been the Goddess's doing.
Therefore, the loss of 102 dead Old Guard soldiers was only a loss of 102. The remaining 1,898 Old Guard soldiers joined the second battle and were ready to win new glory with their King.
On the flanks of the Old Guard, the remaining 2,000 Brittany Knights and Knight squires who still had some strength left were led by the Lake Fairy Witch's 12 Holy Grail Guards and the Red Dragon Knight Brotherhood's 10 Holy Grail Knights led by Duke Berchemund. The Knights were ready to harvest new green-skinned heads to add to their achievements.
Glory awaited them, victory followed victory. The Knights enjoyed another great victory and sighed. It was better to follow His Majesty Laing's path!
"Awesome! Awesome, this is awesome! " Duke Berchemund rushed around and killed everything in his path. The Red Dragon Duke hadn't killed so much in a long time. A Goblin Shaman released a beam of green light of the Evil Moon at him. The Red Dragon Lance and the Lake Fairy's Blessing flashed and the light of the Evil Moon exploded into pieces. Then the scepter fell and the Goblin Shaman's brain was smashed out.
The green-skinned army was defeated. The Anaknarei Giant Spider trembled under the iron hooves of the Knights.
At this moment, Laing gave the Green Spider King a fatal blow.
The Goddess of Vengeance easily penetrated Snagra Venomsaliva's feather mask. There were 12 evil curses and small WAAAGH from the Spider King! None of the magic had any effect on the Knight King. On the contrary, Laing cut off the Spider King's head from its neck.
The second Spider King's head was raised high by the Knight King. Together with Getwo's head, they became witnesses of Laing's meritorious service. "In the name of the Lady, the Green Spider Empire's King, Snagra Venomsaliva, has been beheaded!"
"Long live the King! Long live the King! Long live the King! "The Brittany cheered loudly.
"This is the power of Yurick. Hahahaha! But I have to say that the Knights on the other side of the mountain did well. Hmm, not bad. "Big Yurick laughed heartily.
"Victory! Victory! We're victorious! Midden Hill is victorious. Yurick is victorious. The Empire is victorious!!! " Boris Todbringer raised his arms and shouted on the battlefield. He laughed heartily. Since the death of his first wife, he had never felt so relieved.
He had taken revenge. The number of Orcs and green-skinned creatures he killed today was more than the total number of Orcs and green-skinned creatures he had killed in the past few decades.
The taste of revenge was so sweet and refreshing that Boris almost fainted.
"Hahahaha!" The Lake Goddess Witch Morgiana raised her hand, and a magical explosion blasted three Forest Goblins into pieces. She ordered the Holy Grail Guardians to continue advancing. Then she raised her head and looked at Laing's imposing figure and the two heads hanging on the Griffin's buttocks. She couldn't help but laugh. It was against her image, but she didn't care. Morgiana's body and mind were enveloped in happiness.
Veronica was panting as she struggled to stand with the help of her apprentices. Teresa, who arrived late on her Warhorse, and Aurora, who followed behind Teresa, felt the same way. After witnessing this scene, the Sanctuary Witch no longer had any thoughts of remaining independent. Aurora had to admit that she had never seen such a terrifying, valiant, cruel, and … charming man in her life.
She was even a little jealous of Teresa.
At 3 pm, the Battle of the Three Kings of Midden Stange came to an end.
As for the Human Alliance Army, more than 1,900 people were killed, and more than 5,500 were injured. The total number of casualties was about 7,500. One Holy Grail Knight, two Imperial Captains, and 12 cannons were lost.
The Human alliance killed 53,000 Orcs and 33,000 green-skinned creatures. A total of 86000 Orcs were killed. There were no casualties or prisoners.
The Orcs lost all their elite troops, Minotaurs, and most of the Behemoths and Great Horned Beasts. Tens of Orc Lords, Howling Shamans, Giant-horned Bulls, and Four-armed Bull Devils were killed in battle.
Only the 10,000 Orcs led by One-Eyed Kazak and a few lucky Centaurs, Horned Beasts, and Horned Beasts managed to escape the battlefield.
The Black Pit Green-Skinned Beasts lost half of their troops. The Spider Riders lost 80% of their troops, while the Orcs lost 60% of their troops. More than half of the Anaknarei Spiders were killed. Below the Green Spider King, Snagra Venomsaliva, and the Orc Warlord, Grote Bloody Axe, more than 70% of the Goblin Warlords, Goblin Shamans, Orc Warlords, and Shamans died.
Only the Forest Goblins at the back of the three-line formation suffered fewer casualties. They retreated quickly, but this motley crew couldn't cause any more trouble.
As the three Kings of the Old World participated in this battle, the Dwarves, Humans, and Elves called it the "Battle of the Three Kings of Middenstanger". This battle was considered the most glorious victory of the Brittany Knight King, "Great Unifier" Laing Macado. It became a textbook battle in the history of the Humans and had a high status in history. Every time they talked about Laing's military exploits, they would mention the Battle of the Three Kings.
This battle dealt a devastating blow to the Orcs and Green-Skinned Beasts. Ever since then, whenever the Orcs and Green-Skinned Bear-Skin Hats and Tricolor Flags of the Old Guard, or the Golden Cup Insignia of the Holy Grail Knights, they would retreat and flee. Their fear of the Old Guard and the Holy Grail Knights was engraved in their DNA.
After this battle, the noisy Goblins of the Black Pit Green-Skinned Beasts and the howling Orc tribe would scare them by saying, "Laing is here! Laing is here! " The Black Pit Green-Skinned Beasts would be so frightened that they would bury their heads in the ground. The Orcs would cover their mouths in fear and not make a sound. Even the Orc cubs would stop crying and shiver.
People called him "Laing Stops Crying".
The White Wolf Elector, Boris Todbringer, was so impressed by Ryan's military talent that he didn't know what to say. Decades ago, the Grand Duke of Midden Hill had fought dozens of battles with the Orcs, Black Pit, and Green Skin Beasts. Almost every battle was fought with numbers and meticulous planning, but he had fewer victories than losses. The only thing that was worth bragging about was that Boris once carefully designed a trap. He gathered several times the number of troops to lure and ambush One-Eyed Kazak and won a great victory. He used the Rune Tooth to dig out one of Kazak's eyes, but in the end, Kazak still escaped.
On the contrary, the next time, Kazak's meticulously designed ambush caused Boris's army to be completely annihilated. One of the Kurfürst's eyes was also dug out by Kazak. Kazak couldn't bear to kill Boris and decided to let him go so that they could continue their game of cat and mouse. Boris managed to escape with his life.
Kurfürst Boris couldn't figure it out at all. Why was it so difficult for him to win every time when he was outnumbered? It would already be good enough if he could tie the battle. If it was Ryan's turn to fight, how could he achieve 7500: 86000 casualties when the enemy was at an absolute disadvantage of 76000 against 153000?
Why was there such a huge difference between people?
Boris couldn't figure it out yet, but the people of Midden Hill were celebrating wildly with the Brittany. It had been many years since they won such a beautiful battle!
On the battlefield, Talleyrand -Morris Bennister couldn't help but retch. This High Elf rode on a warhorse and covered his mouth with a handkerchief. He followed behind Laing and looked at the ground full of Orcs and Green Dwarfs' corpses. The corpses turned into ashes in the flames. The stench and bloody smell made the inexperienced High Elf feel nauseous.
"How is it, Talleyrand? How do you feel?" Laing looked at the devastated battlefield. There were too many corpses of Orcs and Green Dwarfs. The people of Midden Hill estimated that they would need to recruit at least 5000 civilians and burn the corpses for three days and three nights.
"Cough, cough, it took only one day. Your Majesty, it took only one day." The High Elf resisted the urge to vomit and said to Laing, "As expected of Your Majesty. I believe more than ever that I made the right choice."
"To be specific, it was a few hours. We fought from dawn until now. We didn't fight for 24 hours, Mr. Talleyrand," Morgiana emphasized grumpily.
"Yes, a few hours, Madam," Talleyrand immediately replied, "It was a great victory, the masterpiece of you and His Majesty Laing."
Morgiana's anger dissipated when she heard him address her as Madam. She suddenly felt that the lame High Elf was quite pleasing to the eye.
Veronica rolled her eyes. Chairwoman Garland thought to herself, 'This damned cripple, has he already figured out who he needs to curry favor with?'
"We only lost about 7,500 Orcs and 2,000 casualties. The remaining 5,500 Orcs can recuperate and return to the battlefield. They lost more than 86000 Orcs, but there were no casualties or prisoners." Laing said calmly, "Take a good look, Talleyrand. This is our war, Laing's war."
"Your Majesty, I'm already … dead." The lame High Elf couldn't take it anymore. He used a handkerchief soaked in perfume to cover his mouth and nose. He saw a bunch of Horned Beasts' corpses being burned. A few Minotaurs' corpses were too large, so they had to be dragged out of the ditch with ropes tied to their horses.
"Have you seen enough? No, no, it's far from enough. " Laing laughed, but Knight King's expression did not have the slightest hint of a smile. "Open your eyes and see, listen with your ears, and ask with your nose, Mr. Talleyrand. Because I need you to arrange the post-war compensation and casualty statistics, I want you to know the price of peace."
"Yes, the price of peace. The people of Charis always like to talk about this, but the people of Lothar rarely see such a bloody battlefield with their own eyes. They don't understand that the sacrifice of generations after generations in exchange for their power and wealth." Talleyrand held back his retching and joked, "Your Majesty, you only spent a few hours to eliminate 86000 Orcs. Do you know what the High Elf War Council can do in a few hours?"
"What can they do?" Laing and the others were curious.
"They're just enough to arrange the order of the Elven Princes." Talleyrand grinned and said slowly, "Then the High Lord Tyrion will signal that everyone can start. Of course, it's almost time to end the meeting. After all, as everyone knows, Azul only works during the day, and the night is for banquets and parties."
"Hahahahaha!" Laughter came from the hills after the battle.
"Long live the King! Long live Brittany! Praise the Lady! "Then there was a wave of cheers.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, an Old Guard Dragoon ran towards Laing. "Your Majesty, Sir Baldwin from Le-Angoulan found something. We all think you should take a look."
"What is it?"
"We found the Black Pit Green Skin …"
