Chapter 982: Death of Old Carlo

The army retreated.

An outstanding general will not panic even if he retreats.

Give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.

The old Carlo family has been fighting since the founding of the Orcs.

There are many famous generals in the family.

They have encountered no matter how difficult the war is.

While retreating.

When old Carlo heard that there was a siege in front and a pursuit behind him.

He didn't panic at all.

Instead, he said to the nobles around him.

"My ancestors once said."

"Generally, all war commanders divide their troops into three levels."

"The first level is the elite, the chosen front, with the strongest combat effectiveness."

"The second echelon is the Chinese army, which has slightly lower combat effectiveness."

"The third echelon is the rear army, which is the auxiliary army and has the weakest combat effectiveness."

"When fighting against the enemy, we usually use the first echelon of legions to attack the enemy's second echelon."

"Use the second echelon to attack the enemy's third echelon."

"Sacrifice the third echelon and hold back the enemy's first echelon."

"On the battlefield, only by relying on the strong and bullying the weak can you be invincible!"

After a pause.

Old Carlo looked at the march map in front of him.

"Send the order!"

"The rear camp is stationed on the spot to intercept the pursuing heavy armored knights!"

"Tell them that no matter the cost, all soldiers who die in battle will enter the Hall of Valor."

"Command the nobles to assemble a cavalry regiment of 3,000 magic crystal warriors."

“All must be intermediate or above!”

"Come to my side and listen to my command."

"Send the order!"

"The forward cavalry stops attacking."

"Retreat to both sides of the central army."

"Chinese army moves forward!!!"

"Compress the battlefield and force the intercepting legions to fight us decisively!"

"If they don't fight, we will withdraw!"

I have to admit that old Carlo is still very strong.

In terms of commanding on the battlefield, he is beyond the reach of ordinary nobles.

Give up the rear army and buy time for the elite and central army.

And for the wars of the classical era.

As long as the nobles who awaken the power of the magic crystal can survive.

After returning to the Orc Kingdom, he will soon be able to raise an elite combat army.

This move of Old Carlo could give up the central army at a critical moment and retreat with the elite.

He can also charge with elite troops at critical moments.

Defeat the enemy's Chinese army line.

This is a battlefield method that only veterans have.

And just when old Carlo was mobilizing his army.

Aria and the intercepting legions in the Red River Valley have also completed their rendezvous.

Both sides are dominated by cavalry.

However, there are not many warriors who have awakened the magic crystal.

Its combat effectiveness is comparable to that of old Carlo's central army.

On the battlefield, Aria noticed changes in the orcs.

Compared to this era, Aria was born in a later generation.

Has a more complete aristocratic heritage.

The battlefield intuition developed since childhood allowed Aria to immediately know what the orcs were planning to do.

"They are gathering troops!"

"What?"

The Rainbow Land noble behind him asked with some confusion.

What they saw was just the orc army slowly moving forward.

The vanguard cavalry retreated toward the flanks.

"The orcs are preparing to use the Chinese army to press forward and force us with numbers."

"The cavalry we are pursuing is not large in number, and we lack elite infantry."

"The two are not equal in strength."

"If we allow them to complete the gathering of troops, the Chinese army will have an advantage over us."

"When the time comes, we will not only have to face the orcs' central army, but we will also have to be careful of the elites hidden by the orcs."

"This~"

The nobles of the Rainbow Land did not expect that Aria could suddenly see so much information from the battlefield.

"Sir, what should we do?"

"Rush forward, disrupt their arrangements, and delay time."

"Hold on until the Duke's heavy armored cavalry comes to support."

"You go and notify the cavalry in the Red River Valley."

"Charge with me."

After saying that, regardless of anything else, Aria clamped down on the horse's belly.

He trotted towards the orcs' central army.

The nobles in the Rainbow Valley behind looked at each other.

There was a hint of hesitation.

After all, they attacked the elite infantry of the orcs with a small number of people.

This is simply to die.

But I saw that Aria had already taken action.

Other nobles have a spear.

Clamp the horse's belly and move forward quickly.

Soon, the faint sound of horse hooves sounded on the battlefield.

Next!

There were bursts of roaring sounds.

The noble knights who followed Aria did not hesitate at this moment.

Followed behind Aria.

Launched an attack on the enemy's formation.

And on the other side.

The cavalry from the Red River Valley who also came to intercept saw this scene.

But everyone hesitated.

"Using cavalry to charge the orcs' armored phalanx, are they stupid?"

"They are still a group of light armored cavalry, they are simply looking for death."

"Let them die. We can't lose our precious cavalry here needlessly."

In this era, there are still a few knowledgeable nobles.

Most of the nobles have been fighting at the border for many years.

He is also not good at summarizing the nobility of war.

When fighting, it is the rule of war in this era to rush in and kill people.

There are very few nobles who can see through old Carlo's plan.

This is also why the Carlo family can use the power of one family.

It has oppressed the borders of the Alpha Kingdom for hundreds of years.

It even has an advantage.

And just when most of the nobles chose to stop and watch, watching Aria's legion die in battle.

Suddenly.

A group of knights in silver armor suddenly emerged from the nobles of the Red River Valley.

"Sam!"

"What are you doing!"

Looking at the legion that had left the cavalry.

Someone immediately recognized them.

They were nobles who had just joined the Red River Valley.

They had made military achievements before, and were originally excluded from the Red River Valley.

But because of the subsequent war.

The Sam family fought hard and died.

They rescued many nobles in the Red River Valley.

This made the Sam family recognized.

They had already regarded each other as one of their own.

But I didn't expect that at this time.

Sam was so stupid.

"Come back, Sam!"

"You are looking for death."

A noble behind him rode forward and tried to stop Sam.

But at this time, Earl Sam's eyes showed a fierce light.

"Get out of here!"

"You cowards!"

"Don't you see that those are the knights of our Alpha Kingdom!"

"Have you forgotten that their enemies are orcs?"

"Have you forgotten how your territory was breached?"

"Let the orcs leave now."

"It won't be long before they come back."

"We have suffered heavy losses in the war."

"The next time the orcs come."

"Do you still have this opportunity to surround the orcs?"

"Today!"

"This is our best time to counterattack."

"As long as we keep the orc army, we can create conditions for future peace!"

"It means that today, we will fight the war for the next ten years, no, thirty years."

"Don't you understand, you idiots???"

Sam's roar echoed in the wilderness.

The nobles who had stopped to watch were stunned.

The noble who intercepted Sam pondered for a moment.

He waved his hand behind him.

Hundreds of knights followed closely.

Followed behind Sam.

Although the nobles are short-sighted, they are not stupid.

They cannot listen to correct opinions.

That basically happens in the capital.

At the border!

Nobles who cannot listen to the truth.

They have already died eight hundred times.

Sam's words that can move them the most are just one sentence.

If this war is fought, there will be ten or twenty years of peace in the future.

You know, the blocked legion is the Carlo family.

This family oppresses all the Alpha nobles, and everyone is suffocated by the oppression.

They were defeated, and the 50,000 elite troops were wiped out.

Even if they didn't die.

More than half of them were lost.

There will be no war on the border for at least ten years.

And they!

They will get ten years of peace, and ten years is enough for their great-grandchildren to grow up.

Thinking of this.

All the nobles no longer hesitated.

Instigating the war horses.

Kick over the grass.

The sound of "da da da" rang out on the battlefield.

Then there was a loud "boom".

Thousands of war horses began to charge with unmatched momentum.

"Kill!"

Aria swung the sword in his hand.

Every time, a head would fall to the ground.

In front of him, there were layers of orc phalanxes that were so thick that it made people despair.

The first time they charged, they defeated the orc cavalry.

But the second time, they were stopped by the orc infantry.

Aria looked at the battlefield and knew that he couldn't charge like this.

Cavalry combat is most taboo to attack, they are a group of wild wolves.

Always keep an eye on the enemy's weaknesses and bite them hard.

Slow down the enemy's marching pace.

Buy time for the main force behind.

"Retreat!"

Aria waved the sword, and the guardian knight beside her protected her and retreated.

The orc cavalry was defeated.

There was no way to pursue them.

A flank of orcs tried to intercept them.

At this time.

Sam rushed up with the cavalry.

He hit the orc infantry who dared to leave the formation hard.

The moment the two sides came into contact.

The orc infantry scattered.

"It's you!"

Seeing the rescue knight, Aria was a little surprised.

"I was right."

"You are Efron's knight!"

The reason why Sam attacked resolutely.

It was because he saw Aria and recognized the other party.

The previous experience of the surprise attack on Leman City made Sam feel that Efron's identity was not simple.

If he followed him, he might be able to rise to prominence in the future.

After going to the Red River Valley.

Sam even regretted migrating here for a while.

He met Efron's knights again on the battlefield.

Sam chose to follow without hesitation.

And the facts proved that he made a correct choice.

After the two cavalry joined forces.

The number exceeded tens of thousands.

Tens of thousands of cavalry were enough to pose a threat to the orcs' central army.

Old Carlo's central army also faced new variables.

"The intercepting nobles are not fools."

After seeing this, Old Carlo raised his eyebrows slightly.

Cavalry can't win, and it's hard to repel the enemy with infantry alone.

"It seems that we can only use the elite."

Old Carlo gave orders again.

"Reorganize the cavalry, and the central army continues to advance."

"The cavalry guards the two wings, don't stop!"

After the order was issued.

The central infantry began to move forward slowly.

Seeing this, Aria divided the cavalry into several waves and attacked the cavalry of old Carlo from the side.

After defeating the cavalry, cut into the infantry camp, killed one wave and then retreated.

Intended to stop the infantry's advance.

After repeated several times.

The orc infantry marched less than a kilometer in half an hour.

"Asshole!"

Old Carlo, who was standing in the rear and commanding, looked at the cavalry who kept attacking.

For the first time, he showed annoyance in his eyes.

"Send an order!"

"Let the Magic Crystal Warrior Cavalry Regiment prepare."

This time, he wanted to open up the retreat channel as soon as possible.

I'm afraid the rear army can't hold on for too long.

"Yes!"

This time, the orc infantry took the initiative to separate the two wings, mixed the cavalry, and protect the central army.

Aria's cavalry launched an attack.

The mixed legions on the two wings fought desperately.

The two sides began to exchange pieces.

The orc infantry fought desperately with three for one.

Several attacks were crushed.

After seeing this, Aria was in awe of the orcs' determination.

At the same time, this abnormal war dynamic made Aria alert.

"Send an order!"

"Contract the cavalry, don't disperse the attack."

It must be said that Aria gave the order very quickly.

But!

The enemy's formation change speed was not slow.

The most elite noble knights had already completed the assembly.

Three thousand of the most elite magic crystal warrior cavalry.

Suddenly rushed out of the army.

Rushed to the front of Aria.

The cavalry on Aria's side was scattered after a long battle.

And their own losses were not small.

Faced with the attack suddenly.

Directly collapsed.

Seeing this, Aria immediately ordered a retreat.

Prepare to regroup.

But the elite cavalry of the orcs immediately stuck to them.

Forcing Aria to retreat continuously.

And this!

The orc army that was originally intercepted immediately moved.

"Quick!"

"Retreat quickly!"

Old Carlo saw the gap being opened.

He shouted excitedly.

"All legions, discard armor and disperse into small teams."

"Retreat at full speed!"

Old Carlo gave the order for the second time.

He had been delayed here for too long.

He always felt that the enemy behind him was very close.

And the facts proved that Old Carlo was right.

Just when the orc infantry dropped their armor.

A loud "boom" sound came.

Behind him.

The Duke of Rainbow Land appeared on the battlefield with heavy cavalry.

"Attack!"

The Duke personally commanded the front line.

The lance in his hand pointed at the orc legion.

Seeing this, Old Carlo also jumped on the giant wolf.

"Retreat!"

Under the protection of the personal guards.

Fleeing around the front battlefield.

The heavy cavalry was not good at chasing.

Facing the orc infantry who were scattered into small teams.

It was like a punch on cotton.

Only a small part was stopped.

Most of the orc infantry broke out in separate groups.

They were everywhere in the mountains.

The main force of the light cavalry that was chasing them.

At this time, they were chased by the magic crystal warrior corps of old Carlo.

They were defeated.

Even around Aria, there were less than two hundred guardian knights left.

The rest of the native nobles who followed had already been scattered in the war and could not be contacted.

"What a pity!"

"If I had ten thousand guardian knights, there would not be such a big defeat."

Aria stood on the hillside, looking at the orc infantry all over the mountains and the noble cavalry that were scattered, and said unwillingly.

Compared with the guardian knights.

The fighting power of these noble knights was completely inadequate.

Then he looked in the direction of the heavy armored cavalry.

There, the duke took off his heavy armor.

He was leading his knights to capture the orc infantry.

Old Carlo's general flag disappeared at some point.

And the magic crystal warrior corps.

They also left the battlefield after tracking.

Now the whole battlefield is in a mess.

"Old Carlo is really quite capable."

"He actually broke up the whole into small pieces at this time."

"Although the orcs will inevitably suffer heavy losses, it is better than annihilation."

"The most important thing is that the orc nobles stayed."

"I just don't know where they are going?"

"If it is Lehman City!"

"Hehe!"

Aria suddenly wanted to take a look.

She turned her horse's head.

"Send an order!"

"Go to Lehman City."

"Yes!"

"Lord Carlo."

After the elite magic crystal warriors completed their mission, they joined old Carlo who escaped from the battlefield.

"The infantry was completely defeated."

"We are the only ones left in the 50,000-strong army."

The orc nobles cried sadly.

Duke Carlo patted him and said.

"It doesn't matter."

"As long as you are here, the Carlo family has hope."

"And Lehman City is still in our hands."

"Go to Lehman City!"

"Meet up with little Carlo."

"As long as Lehman City is not lost, within three years."

"I can still train 50,000 troops!"

Encouraged by old Carlo.

These defeated knights began to regain some morale.

Following old Carlo, they retreated towards Lehman City.

Not long after.

The top of Lehman City was clearly visible.

"Wait!"

Old Carlo was very alert.

"Go investigate and ask the guards inside."

"Yes!"

The orc noble rode forward, but halfway through.

He retreated with a pale face.

He was holding a human head in his hand.

When he walked in front of old Carlo.

After he saw the head in the other's hand clearly.

Old Carlo suddenly burst into tears.

Because that head!

It was his eldest grandson!

"No!"

In this sad cry.

On both sides of the forest.

A large group of cavalry appeared.

"Duke Carlo!"

"Your death is coming!"

"Kill them!!!"

"Da Da Da~"

Christian rode out.

He pointed the long sword in his hand.

Behind!

The Holy Light Knight rushed down like a tiger.

Old Carlo raised his cloudy eyes.

In front.

The magic crystal warriors were shattered like fragile tiles.

Hundreds of Holy Light Knights easily knocked away the most elite guards of the Carlo family.

At this moment, Duke Carlo's eyes were devoid of any hope.

He looked at the Holy Light Knight who rushed forward.

He murmured for a lifetime.

"You!"

"Not Alpha's people~"

As soon as the voice fell, Christian's sword swept past.

The orc's head flew up and hit the branches and bounced a few times.

It fell into the leaves.

Orc Kingdom!

Duke Carlo!!!

Die!!! (End of this chapter)
