Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game
#254 - Death Battle
On the battlefield, the rain of arrows between the two armies became a curtain of death, and each fall of arrows could take a life.
Edmund's attack caused losses to the Orc army, but it also aroused their anger and fighting spirit.
The Orcs' counterattack made this battle even more brutal and bloody.

Edmund quickly directed the crossbow cavalry to retreat, pulling the distance between the two sides to three hundred meters, cleverly avoiding the attack range of the Orc archers.
At this distance, the Orc arrows had lost their accuracy and power. Similarly, his crossbow cavalry was also out of range.
But this time, Edmund was not in a hurry to attack.
He recalled the tactics that Soren had taught him—shooting arrows when the crossbow cavalry charged, using the kinetic energy of the charge, combined with high parabolic shooting, could significantly increase the range of the crossbow bolts.
With an order, the crossbow cavalry began to spur their horses to charge, their speed gradually increasing, and the sound of horses' hooves echoed on the battlefield.
At the moment of the charge, they raised their cavalry crossbows at a 45-degree angle, and then pulled the trigger, the crossbow bolts cutting through the air, making a sharp "咻咻" sound.
Karon, seeing this scene, was about to mock their lack of range, but was shocked to see the crossbow bolts falling into the Orc army's formation like a storm of death.
Those Orc soldiers, who originally thought they were safe, did not expect that the human crossbow bolts could fly so far and accurately land in their midst.
This wave of attacks not only disrupted the Orcs' formation but also brought them tremendous psychological pressure.
Edmund's tactics successfully seized the initiative on the battlefield, while the Orc army began to fall into chaos and panic.
Karon's gaze was solemn, and the situation on the battlefield was extremely grim. If he did not take decisive measures, the Gale Tribe would pay an even heavier price.
Shantu's face was pale, but the determination in his eyes was like a rock. He shouted loudly, "Chieftain, please leave some warriors to me. I will be responsible for the rearguard, and buy a chance of survival for the army. Once the knights of the Human Empire arrive, we will be in even more danger."
Karon was silent for a moment. He knew that this was the most feasible plan at the moment, although it meant that the warriors who stayed behind would face an almost hopeless battle. He took a deep breath, his voice full of pain and determination: "Shantu, you lead five thousand warriors to stay behind. We must buy time for the main force so that more tribesmen can retreat safely."
Shantu nodded, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes. He knew how difficult it was for Karon to make this decision.
After Shantu had the shaman simply treat his wounds, he went to find the warriors who were staying behind.
His voice was firm and powerful: "Brothers, our mission is to protect the tribe. Even if it means sacrifice, we must let the tribesmen live! We will be the shield of the Gale Tribe, let them remember our courage!"
The Orc warriors of the Gale Tribe raised their weapons and responded with enthusiastic shouts, their eyes flashing with a determination to die.
They knew that this battle would be a battle of life and death, but they were fearless, because they were warriors of the Gale Tribe, and their honor and courage would be forever remembered by the tribe.
Edmund stood in the battle formation, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's. He noticed the movements of the Orc army.
They began to divide into two parts, one part moving in a slowly retreating formation, obviously retreating in an orderly manner, while the other part was retreating quickly, revealing an intention to get rid of the pursuit.
Edmund quickly analyzed the Orcs' tactics in his mind.
They were implementing a diversion tactic, intending to sacrifice a part of their troops to buy a chance for the other part to retreat.
Although this tactic was cruel, it was a strategy that had to be adopted in desperation to preserve strength.
He smiled coldly and said to Iton beside him, "The Orc army wants to slip away and divert our attention. We won't let them succeed. Pass the order, the crossbow cavalry will be divided into two teams, one team will continue to put pressure on the retreating Orcs, and the other team will quickly bypass their rearguard and pursue those enemies who are retreating quickly."
Iton immediately conveyed the order, and the crossbow cavalry quickly and orderly adjusted their formation.
A part of the crossbow cavalry continued to suppress the slowly retreating Orc forces with arrows, preventing them from retreating with peace of mind;
The other part rushed out like an arrow from a bow, bypassing the Orcs' rearguard and heading straight for the Orc soldiers who were trying to escape quickly.
Edmund's tactical layout was undoubtedly brilliant, but he underestimated the primitive power and fighting will contained in the Orc army.
Shantu was prepared to use his life to win a chance for the tribe to retreat.
On the other end of the battlefield, Shantu ordered the shamans to take out their tribe's symbol—the Gale Totem.
It was a huge wooden pillar, covered with complex green runes, each rune seeming to contain the power of nature.
The shamans began to sing ancient war songs, their voices echoing on the battlefield, full of mystery and power.
With the shamans' singing, wind elements began to gather on this land, rotating around the Orc warriors and slowly infiltrating their bodies.
The eyes of the Orc warriors flashed with fanatical light, their muscles becoming harder under the blessing of the wind elements, and their speed also received a terrifying boost.
"We must not let them pass, for the glory of the Gale Tribe!" Shantu's voice resounded like thunder on the battlefield, inspiring every Orc warrior.
The Orc warriors, blessed by the wind elements, let out earth-shattering roars, their bodies seemingly transformed into gales, charging towards the dividing crossbow cavalry at an astonishing speed.
This sudden change caught Edmund's troops off guard, and the two sides engaged in close combat in an instant.
On the battlefield, the originally orderly crossbow cavalry formation was shattered by this violent force.
The Orc warriors were like sharp blades in a gale, slashing at the crossbow cavalry who were not yet prepared for close combat.
The intensity of this battle exceeded Edmund's expectations, and he had to quickly adjust his tactics to deal with these berserkers blessed by natural forces.
In the clamor of the battlefield, Edmund's voice was like a sharp sword, piercing through the chaos and noise. He shouted loudly, "Front army, engage the enemy, rear army, quickly pull away!" His orders were clear and firm, quickly directing the crossbow cavalry to deal with the Orc warriors' onslaught.
