Chapter 14 Baron Harden

Professional officers such as Diarra, Richard, and Brown, along with veterans, held huge racket sticks, and together they pushed the snake-like man off the city wall. (っ◔◡◔)っ

Just after three successful attempts, the snake-like man came up with a way to deal with it.

A snake-like man pulled back hard and actually dragged Brown and two veterans off the city wall.

The three Browns just stood up and were surrounded by orcs from all sides. In the blink of an eye, their bodies were torn apart.

The time we spent together was short, and the relationship was average.

But in a state of war, friendship not only comes quickly, but also feels extraordinary. If Brown hadn't stepped forward just now, it would have been Richard who directed the soldiers to push the racket stick.

Brown died under the city, but Richard was still alive. The reason was that Richard had better luck than Brown.

Faced with the tragic death of his comrade, Richard could not remain indifferent. He instantly lost his cool and became red-eyed.

Richard took two steps back, grabbed the enchanted sword from Ron's hand, and rushed towards the snake-shaped man.

The snake-shaped man fought with a dozen soldiers, his back turned to Richard. Facing Richard's fierce sword, he didn't notice it at all.

The battlefield was very chaotic, with swords, spears, swords and halberds coming from all directions.

Just as the Snake Man killed three soldiers, Richard struck with a fierce sword from the side, piercing the Snake Man's heart fiercely, and then pushed the Snake Man off the city wall.

After killing the third-level snake-like man, his experience suddenly increased by two thousand.

At the most critical moment of the war, it was so urgent and intense that we could not relax for even a second. Richard could only wait until the war was over to gain more killing experience.

Although the battle was relatively short, the Sixth Squadron suffered more than one-third casualties in the face of the absolutely superior Orc army.

Deputy squadron leader Brown fell off the city wall and was killed. Nine squad captains were also killed, two were wounded, and three were wounded. Half of the veteran backbone suffered heavy casualties.

The brutal battle had made most of the soldiers' legs weak, and the Sixth Squadron was about to collapse.

A long horn sounded from the distance, and reinforcements from the rear finally arrived.

Leading the reinforcements was Deputy Captain Sally, who was also at the fourth level like Roland.

The reinforcements amounted to more than two squadrons. With the help of this new force, the orc attack was finally repelled without any danger.

The orc army had just been driven off the city wall when an elite cavalry rushed out of the canyon and scattered the orc formation in one fell swoop.

The officer commanding this cavalry was Baron Harden, the supreme commander of the Pratos Line of Defense.

Baron Harden rode a fourth-level wild boar monster and easily broke into the orc army. None of the orc warriors he passed along the way could stop him for a moment.

In a short period of time, more than six orcs died in his hands, including a third-level orc officer.

Charged by the cavalry, the formation of the orc army completely collapsed.

Baron Harden led his knights and followed the orcs leisurely, killing the lone orcs.

The orcs suffered more and more casualties, lost their organization, and soon the number of casualties exceeded half. They ran wildly, bypassing the road and escaping into the jungle.

The knights were just about to dismount and catch up, when Baron Harden raised his left hand and said: "The situation in the forest is unknown. Maybe the orcs have an ambush. Don't chase!"

The cavalry gathered together and handed over the task of cleaning the battlefield to the infantry.

He won the first battle, but there was no joy in Richard's heart.

The comrades we get along with every day suffered a lot of casualties, and many familiar faces will never be seen again.

Broken limbs and broken arms were scattered on the top of the city, and the strong smell of blood spread everywhere.

Richard suppressed the mixed emotions in his heart and led his soldiers to clean the battlefield.

The captured orcs gathered together, and the living orc captives were more valuable than the dead heads.

For example, you can only get three small skills by killing a snake-like person, but you can get one medium skill by capturing a healthy snake-like person.

The combined achievements of more than twenty orc captives are already very impressive.

Of course, not all of these merits belong to the Sixth Squadron. Four and a half squadrons of the Eighth Battalion participated in the battle.

Two and a half squadrons defended the city, and two squadrons were added.

It was the Baron Cavalry Regiment that played a decisive role.

Everyone will share some of the merits of this battle.

After the war, Baron Harden once again summoned all the officers.

In addition to the knights under the baron and the officers of the Eighth Brigade, there are also officers of the city defense army squadron and above.

"Have the casualties been counted?"

Baron Harden turned to his adjutant.

"Three people from the cavalry regiment were killed, two of them were killed and one was seriously injured. One of the killed was a second-level warrior and the other was a high-level apprentice. The seriously injured was Knight Richard."

"How is Richard's injury?"

"At least three months of rest."

Richard is the nephew of Baron Harden, a third-level knight, and his combat prowess can rival Roland's.

When the cavalry regiment attacked the orc army, Richard was besieged by four snakemen. He fell off the Warcraft war horse and was pinned down by his armored horse, almost dying on the battlefield.

In the middle of a war, even mid-level professionals are actually very vulnerable. The fourth-level tauren on the orc side were not spared in this battle.

Baron Harden nodded, turned to Sharp and asked, "How is the situation in the Eighth Battalion?"

Captain Sharp Walra stood up and said: "Only the Sixth Squadron suffered heavy casualties, and the other four squadrons did not affect their combat effectiveness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Baron Harden suddenly became unhappy and said loudly: "I want detailed casualty figures."

Although the baron didn't say too harsh words, he still made Captain Sharp sweat profusely.

He quickly summarized the situation of each squadron, stood up for the second time, and said seriously: "The Sixth Squadron suffered the most casualties, with 21 killed. Nine seriously injured, and 26 slightly injured. The total number of casualties is 56, which is more than half."

"Is the Sixth Squadron a newly formed squadron?"

Baron Harden reacted quickly. Just by listening to the casualty figures, he immediately realized that the Sixth Squadron was not fully staffed.

Deputy Captain Sally Darren stood up and answered: "The Sixth Squadron was formed only nine months ago, but we have selected more than a dozen veterans to shorten the formation time. It cannot be considered a new recruit squadron. Of course, its combat effectiveness is worse than that of several main squadrons."

"What are the casualties of officers?"

"Deputy Squadron Leader Brown was killed, Deputy Squadron Leader Richard, and Military Judge Owen were slightly injured."

Baron Harden nodded and said: "Select the best soldiers from the city defense army to supplement the Sixth Squadron. What about the other squadrons?"

"Six people were killed in the Third Squadron, and seventeen people were injured in both minor and serious injuries. The soldiers stationed in Fort No. 2 were attacked by the eagles, and three were killed, four were seriously injured, and there were no lightly injured.

The reinforcement of the Fourth Squadron had seven people killed and nineteen people were seriously injured. The Fifth Squadron had two people killed and five people were seriously injured. . "

"The total number of people in your brigade is less than a thousand, right?"

"Including the brigade's direct squadron, we have organized seven and a half squadrons, plus the half-squadron of new recruits recently added, the total number is 965. The main reason is that several old squadrons are not fully staffed, and there are some vacancies. "

"What about the results of the battle, have you counted them?"

"Six hundred and twenty-one orcs were killed in this battle, and twenty-three were captured. Seventeen professional orcs were killed, including one fourth-level minotaur, five third-level snake-bodied people, and two third-level eagle-bodied people. One second-level dog-headed man, four first-level dog-headed men, two first-level sheep-bodied people, and one second-level werewolf. The remaining orcs are all low-level soldiers.

Among the twenty-three captured orcs, there was a third-level snake-bodied man, but unfortunately he was seriously injured. I don't know if he can survive. "
