Chapter 75: Attack From Both Sides

Shamok's injuries had not yet recovered and he had been sent to the rear. Bastruan was the supreme commander of the orc brigade.

Now that Bastruan had died in battle, the morale of the orcs had been greatly disrupted.

Especially for the orcs' main force, the Tauren, Bastruan was their spiritual leader and the commander with the highest prestige.

Once the Tauren wavered, problems began to arise on the front line.

Seeing that the army was about to collapse, the captain of the wolf cavalry squadron, Larmin, stood up.

After discussing with the captain of the snake-bodied squadron, Dakota Lacey, he decided to invest in the last reserve.

Larmin led his cavalry to attack the flank of the coalition forces of Richard and Sofia, and Dakota Lacey led the snake-bodied heavy infantry to attack the front of the human army.

The two armies matched each other and invested their last strength to reverse the situation.

The wolf cavalry charged at an extremely fast speed. In just one or two minutes, they rushed to the front of the coalition forces.

Richard hurriedly asked a squadron to turn around and commanded the soldiers to fire crossbows.

Dozens of archers fired only two rounds of arrows, shooting down seven or eight wolf cavalrymen. Larmin had already led the team and rushed into the line of the second squadron of Grant's territory.

The wolf cavalrymen surged up like a tide. Richard held a shield in one hand and a heavy sword in the other hand, slashing at the wolf cavalrymen fiercely, easily cutting one cavalryman in two.

If the general army was broken through the formation by the cavalry, it would probably collapse on the spot.

The second squadron of Harland's territory is quite elite. Not only is it well-equipped, but the quality of the soldiers is also good. It has been trained for two whole years.

Moreover, Richard has a high prestige among the soldiers. He leads the troops and fights in person, which greatly increases morale.

In addition, the orcs are brutal and it is a racial war. Even if they surrender, there will be no good results.

They have seen with their own eyes that humans captured by the orcs will become food for the orcs at any time, and they are treated like cattle and sheep.

The soldiers of the Second Squadron of Harland Territory defeated the orcs several times. As an ever-victorious army, they already had a sense of honor as soldiers.

This sense of honor also required them to continue fighting and not to collapse.

Moreover, Richard formulated a pension system to relieve the soldiers of their worries and let them fight to the death.

Officers such as Heyman and Vincent led the soldiers to fight to the death, even if the formation was already chaotic, they still adopted a desperate fighting style.

Richard saw with his own eyes that a soldier's arm was chopped off, and he actually used the broken spear in his other hand to pierce the belly of the warhorse. The warhorse fell to the ground with a whine, pressing a wolf-headed man under the horse's belly.

The wolf cavalry struggled to stand up and was pierced fiercely by several spears.

Richard was ruthless in his heart and once again fired a powerful fireball at the wolf cavalry commander Larmin. This time Richard invested 6 points of mental power and had exhausted his mental power.

Although the power of the second fireball was far less than the first one, it was still much better than the standard model fireball.

The fireball exploded in front of Larmin's chest, knocking Larmin over immediately.

The warhorse was killed by the fireball on the spot, and Larmin also suffered serious internal injuries and vomited blood on the spot.

Although Vincent was young, he was quite brave. He charged with a spear in his hand and stabbed the horse's belly fiercely.

Like a string of candied haws, he pierced Larmin with his horse.

Larmin screamed miserably, and his head was cut off by Vincent with a knife.

"Retreat first!"

Duram roared and commanded the already chaotic wolf cavalry to retreat.

He was the deputy captain of the wolf cavalry squadron, and his ability was very average.

The last time he met Richard's squadron, he led the grassroots officers to shout loudly. But when he really encountered a tough battle, he was far less brave than the squadron leader Larmin.

Larmin died in battle, and more than half of the wolf cavalry squadron was killed or wounded.

Seeing that the second squadron was still fighting to the death, Richard forced himself to charge with a heavy sword in hand.

Fear immediately occupied Duram's mind, and he issued the wrong military order.

War tests endurance. An army that can withstand casualties and endure hard battles is an excellent and strong army.

Whoever can hold on to the last minute will win the final victory.

If the orcs fight to the death, perhaps the second squadron will be defeated, and the result of this battle will change.

Richard's mental power is equivalent to that of a five-ring magician. He has used three powerful magics and his mental power has been exhausted.

However, the effects of these three powerful magics are very critical after use.

The powerful grease spell delayed the orcs' charge, bought several rounds of firing time for the archers, and caused 200 more casualties to the orcs.

Two powerful fireball spells killed and severely injured the two most important commanders of the orcs.

The wolf cavalry squadron retreated, and the tauren and wild boars fell into a hard battle.

Just when the orcs were doomed to defeat, worse news came. Baron Les, Baron Dark, and Baron Bazel appeared nearby. Their troops were as many as five squadrons, and more than a thousand with auxiliary troops.

Baron Les was also a qualified commander. He did not hesitate and immediately led the noble coalition to attack the orcs from the rear.

The orcs were already very exhausted in the battle with the Richard Sofia coalition.

The battle was very fierce, and the orcs had suffered more than 400 casualties.

If the snake-bodied heavy infantry had not broken through the defense line of the Sofia squadron and reversed the situation, the orcs might have been defeated.

Seeing Baron Les leading his troops to attack from the rear, the broken wild boars and minotaurs were simply unable to stop them.

In desperation, the orcs could only let the snake-bodied heavy infantry take on the heavy responsibility and turn around to block the reinforcements.

Originally, the snake-bodied people broke through the obstruction of the Sofia Squadron and were about to tear through the Seventh Squadron's front line. Now they can only fail at the last moment. They take a squadron of tauren and join forces with the remnants of the wolf cavalry to stop Baron Les.

The soldiers under Baron Les's coalition are not weak. Although they are not as good as the elite soldiers of the Harland Territory, they are stronger than the city defense army and the Sofia Squadron.

Although the snake-bodied heavy infantry is powerful, they are surrounded by ten times the number of enemies and soon suffered a lot of casualties.

When attacking the Wick Castle, four snake-bodied people were killed and two were injured. When conquering the Malte Castle of Baron Diram, another one was killed and another was injured.

Just after breaking through the Sofia Squadron, the casualties were the most serious, with seven killed and six seriously injured.

The casualties of the snake-bodied heavy infantry have also exceeded half.

As the casualties increase, the situation of the orcs becomes more and more dangerous.

The three hereditary baron territories of the Baron Les coalition have been ravaged by the orcs.

The number of people who have died and are missing has exceeded 10,000.

The soldiers of the territory had a deep hatred for the orcs, and now they had the opportunity to beat the fallen dogs, so all the soldiers rushed forward bravely.

Even if they had to gnaw bones and fight against the snake-bodied heavy infantry, the noble coalition did not retreat a single step.

They took firm steps, endured casualties, and drowned the orcs in the sea of ​​people.

In this battle, the Shamok Brigade was almost wiped out. Except for half of the wild boar squadron guarding the prisoners and supplies, the rest of the troops were completely wiped out by the Black River County noble coalition.
