Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

On the road leading from the front line to Luke's Fortress, a cavalry team of less than 800 people marched towards Luke's Fortress under the moonlight.

This cavalry consists of one man and three horses, and is equipped with luxurious equipment. The extraordinary armor and extraordinary lance of Yi Shui show a little bit of cold light.

All the knights are very skilled in riding. They lie on their horses, constantly adjusting their postures and rising and falling rhythmically as the horses gallop under their legs.

If anyone knowledgeable sees this scene, they will naturally understand the value of this riding method. Riding a horse this way can save more horsepower and run faster.

Not only that, these less than 800 knights are all elites at the third level of intermediate level or above.

In the North, the only elite cavalry capable of such an organization is the famous Ice Blade Knights, one of the ten most elite standing corps in the kingdom.

"I don't know if it's too late. If Luke's Fortress is breached, the kingdom's tens of thousands of troops will be doomed.

Pass the order and speed up the march! "

Gordon, the commander of the second battalion of the Ice Blade Knights, issued his order to the messenger.

"Yes!"

Only half an hour later, Deputy Battalion Commander Dom turned his horse from the front and ran towards Gordon.

"Gordon, there is news from the frontline soldiers that there is a large orc army, numbering between five and seven thousand, 30 kilometers in front of us and marching towards us.

In addition, the leading soldiers on the front reconnaissance reported that these orcs moved in a hurry and the soldiers were exhausted. Judging from the direction of march, the orcs should have retreated from Luke Fortress. "

Gordon slowed his horse slightly, needing to digest the news.

"Haha, it seems that the orcs who attacked Luke's Fortress were in a very embarrassed state. They were traveling all night like us, for fear of being blocked if they moved too slowly."

"The defeated orc army consisted of thousands of people. Viscount Hells was probably attacked by an army of ten thousand people. The remaining defenders of Luke Fortress were able to repel the enemy's attack. It's incredible. Incredible!" Deputy Battalion Commander Dom couldn't help but sigh.

"After all, Viscount Hells is a veteran of the military. He has experienced countless wars, large and small, in his life, and he always wins more than he loses."

"Gordon, are we going to eat this orc army?"

Gordon touched his chin, thought for a while, and then said slowly:

"After all, we have also experienced a long-distance attack, and the battle situation in Luke's Fortress has not yet been completely determined. We can just take a small action against this orc army and overwhelm it. Just as it happens, there is a wide and flat wasteland fifteen kilometers ahead, so we can start there. Bar."

"Then do as you say!"

"Send the order, continue to march forward for fifteen kilometers, and rest in the wilderness ahead for half an hour!"

"As ordered!"

Two hours later.

A group of dejected orc soldiers walked feebly on the somewhat arid wasteland. Just yesterday, the orcs who were about to enter the city and enjoy themselves fell short.

A cavalry team that arrived unexpectedly, led by an extremely powerful Sunshine-level peak monster, severely damaged the Centaur branch and killed the leading Sunshine-level Centaur leader.

Since the orcs on the attacking side were alone and could no longer suppress the Luke Fortress, Perez, the commander of this main army of ten thousand people, had to retreat hastily with his men.

At this time, there are less than 6,000 remnant soldiers of this main orc army out of a total strength of 10,000. The number of casualties that may be directly killed in the battle is only a little over 1,000. More of the attrition is due to the collapse of the battle or the absconding on the way back. As well as the wounded that Perez directly abandoned in order to ensure the marching speed.

The morale of the entire team gradually became irreversibly low, and more and more orc warriors wanted to flee the team privately.

"Perez, why don't we stop for a while? We just finished a fierce battle during the day and marched in a hurry at night. Many soldiers couldn't bear it.

And now that the morale of the army is getting weaker and weaker, I'm worried that there will be more and more deserters on the way. "Sunshine-level tauren Atom looked at Peres worriedly. He was very worried that his soldiers would escape halfway through.

"Atom, I also want my men to stop for a while, but we can't stop. This road is the only way to the battlefield. It is possible to run into the returning human army at any time. It is really too dangerous! "

"Okay, let's walk a little longer, there are still twenty kilometers, and we should be able to reach the hidden path we came from.

If humans return to help, they must take the nearest and best road. By then we will be safe. "

"Let the men below hold on for a little longer, as long as we—"

"Two adults, several groups of scouts we sent out have not returned!" An officer broke into the two of them, and his words made the expressions of the two Sun-level powerhouses change.

"not good!"

Just as the two of them reacted, the ground began to shake, and the rumble of horse hooves became clearer.

Following a cry of killing as strong as gold and iron, a group of cavalry came towards the defeated orc army that was stretched into a long snake.

The bright moonlight covered the entire battlefield, and the silver spear, blue helmet, and white armor were particularly conspicuous.

"Knights of the Ice Blade!"

Perez and Atom were so jealous that they ran into the enemy they least wanted to meet at the worst time and in the worst place!

The orcs who were still on the march had almost no ability to resist the charge of the Frozen Knight.

Although their number was eight times that of the Frozen Knights, the long marching team, the poor quality of individual soldiers, the low morale, and the panic when suddenly attacked made the superiority of troops a joke.

Those orc warriors who had the misfortune to directly bump into the Ice Knights collapsed immediately, leaving a mess of casualties. The orc warriors who had not been patronized by the Ice Knights for the time being saw the miserable state of their companions and fled in all directions without caring.

At this moment, Perez and Atom completely lost command of their soldiers, and they could only mobilize a few hundred soldiers on their sides.

"Perez, there is no other way. The Ice Blade Knights are here, in large numbers. They should be the battalion stationed at Luke Fortress. We can only choose to break out."

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to break through. The surrounding area is a wilderness, a natural battlefield for the cavalry, and we can't hide our whereabouts at all."

“Perez, don’t think about it, the whole team has been stretched too long, and now the ending has collapsed, and we can’t restrain them at all.

The only thing we can do now is to lead these 430-level and above personal guards to break out in one direction. This is the only way to survive. "

"Then what should we do when we go back? How should we explain?"

"Perez, survive first before thinking about it later! Don't hesitate, break out!"
