Chapter 135 Canyon County Encounter
After retreating to the foot of the mountain, Richard immediately dispatched the Warcraft Cavalry to inform Gram, Bishop of the Dawn Church in Brena County, of the appearance of the Death Mist.
Gram was shocked to hear the news of the appearance of the Death Mist and asked, "Is the news confirmed?"
"My lord Baron Richard is knowledgeable and a powerful magician. What he confirms must be accurate."
The Warcraft Cavalry widened his eyes, and it was obvious that Gram's suspicion made him a little unhappy.
Gram immediately asked the church priest to pass the news to the provincial bishop Deng Lejin, and he personally came to the camp where the Death Mist appeared.
Seeing that the large area of Death Mist was still expanding, Gram's face became very gloomy.
"The fog is still expanding. If the death fog is allowed to expand without limit, the power infiltrating the dead world will become stronger and stronger. If powerful undead are attracted here, a plane war may break out."
"Is there any way to stop the death fog from expanding?"
"The best way is to close the plane channel, but this requires us to enter the dead world and set up a magic circle to close the channel."
After hearing Gram's method, Richard frowned and said, "We can't rely on small shrimps like us. I'm afraid it will take the church's top leaders to solve it."
The dead world has a great suppression on the living. Without the protection of powerful legendary priests, it is almost impossible for the living to enter the dead world.
After entering the dead world, the powerful undead smelled the temperature of the living, just like sharks seeing blood. Bone dragons, liches, death knights and even undead lords may appear.
Arranging a magic circle to block the two worlds is not an easy task.
Richard also has military affairs. Since someone is managing the death fog, he immediately decided to take a small road to enter Canyon County.
It is difficult to transport food and grass on mountain trails. If it is a general army, it is difficult to walk on mountain trails.
But Richard had the Starlight Bottle, which replenished military rations from Brena County, saving a lot of transportation power. In order to reduce the pressure on logistics, Richard did not take Brena serfs with him this time.
The soldiers who followed him into Canyon County through the mountain trails included four infantry squadrons and two cavalry squadrons, totaling more than 1,700 people. The reason why there were more than 1,700 people in the six squadrons was because the main squadron led by Richard annexed several squadrons of auxiliary soldiers. The number of several infantry squadrons doubled, which seemed a bit bloated.
After the main force of the rebellion suffered a loss, they have been steadily fighting in recent times and besieged the main force of the rebels in the City of Victory.
The City of Victory is the county seat of Canyon County.
The city is located at the southern entrance of the Dragon Canyon. Marshal Brena commanded the soldiers of the Kingdom of Grant and defeated the orcs here.
This battle was a glorious battle for Marshal Brena.
The Orc Kingdom suffered heavy losses in this war, with four legends killed at one time and more than 800,000 square kilometers of land lost.
The territory of the Kingdom of Grant almost doubled. Relying on the victory of this war, the three northern provinces, the Dukedom of Jonathan, the Dukedom of Edward, and the Dukedom of Fox, were established.
The territory was directly pushed northward by hundreds of kilometers.
From then on, Nolan became the hinterland of the Kingdom of Grant and had not been invaded by orcs for more than a hundred years.
Before this pioneering war, the two provinces of Sodamia and Gabriela were the front line against the orcs.
The orc army often broke through the defense lines of the two provinces, and several times even fought near Nolan, which shocked the people of the capital of Grant three times a day.
This battle greatly changed the strategic situation of the Kingdom of Grant.
After this battle, Marshal Brena completely established the name of a famous general.
Even though the old marshal was old, he could still rely on his past reputation to prevent the orcs from acting rashly.
In order to commemorate that great victory, a castle was built on the battlefield and named the City of Victory.
The area where Marshal Brena had been stationed for a long time was named Brena County.
Duke Roger led his troops to surround the main force of the rebels, but the rebels still had a detachment cruising outside to cooperate with the main force of the rebels.
This detachment constantly attacked Duke Roger's food route, suppressed the efficiency of transporting food and grass in the Geda Province, and tied down the Warcraft cavalry commanded by Duke Roger.
After crossing the mountains and entering the Canyon County through the path, Richard immediately released the cavalry to scout and soon found a group of enemies.
This enemy was the cavalry cruising outside of the rebels.
This group of cavalry was collecting food in a village at the foot of a mountain, and suddenly found the noble coalition coming from the northwest.
The scouts immediately dismounted and lit the beacon. Both sides were caught off guard and immediately fell into an encounter.
This group of cavalry was not large in number, with only one squadron of about a hundred people.
The number of cavalry under Richard's command exceeded 500, and there were more than 60 Warcraft cavalry. There were more than 200 elite cavalrymen riding tall northern frontier horses and wearing tightly protected armor. The remaining more than 200 miscellaneous soldiers were also able to fight and had many combat experiences.
The power of the enemy and us was unbalanced from the beginning.
After the rebel cavalry discovered the enemy, they immediately blew the assembly call.
Once the cavalry entered the village, they lost their impact and their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the infantry.
The rebel cavalry had just assembled and left the village, and Richard personally appeared nearby with the Warcraft cavalry.
Looking at the shiny northern frontier horses under the crotch of the rebels, Richard's eyes lit up, as if these northern frontier war horses were already in his pocket.
Richard narrowed his eyes and asked his soldiers to shout loudly: "If you dismount and surrender, I swear on the honor of the nobility that I will not massacre the prisoners."
"Bullshit noble honor, believers of the Father God, follow me to charge!"
The rebel commander waved the enchanted long sword, pointed in the direction of Richard, and kicked the warhorse to rush towards Richard.
Richard grabbed the reins and immediately released the powerful spider web technique. A large piece of spider web appeared in front of the rebel cavalry, tripping more than ten cavalrymen in an instant.
If an ordinary soldier falls off his horse during a cavalry battle, it is difficult for him to survive unless he is a powerful professional.
How can the power of ordinary people stop the charging warhorse?
The powerful inertia will trample the fallen cavalry into meat paste.
The cavalrymen who fell off their horses died immediately after being tripped by the spider web technique.
Seeing that the rebel commander was killing him without fear of life and death, Richard loosened his fingers and shot a sharp arrow into his eyes.
The rebel commander was already a third-level professional, and his reaction was very sensitive. He dodged the fatal arrow at the critical moment. Before he could be happy, another fatal arrow shot at him.
It was Soros who shot the arrow. Even if he dodged the first arrow, he could not dodge the second arrow.
Soros's arrow directly penetrated the heartguard and hit the man's heart, killing him on the spot.
The strength of both sides was so obvious. Richard had more than ten mid-level professionals and dozens of Warcraft cavalry. After a collision, all the rebels were killed.
The casualties of the Warcraft cavalry were minimal. Only two people were injured by the loss. After being treated by the priest, they can go into battle in two or three days.
