Warlord: King of All Clans

Chapter 259 Bloody Battle

Leo's strength was already no less than that of the orc sergeant, not to mention the support of long-handled heavy weapons.

The thirty-five-pound long crescent-shaped sword was swung, and the blade was sharp within a four-meter radius, and a strong wind swept through. Almost nothing could stop Leo.

The long swords and battle axes that collided with the long crescent-shaped sword were all easily deflected, and some even flew out of the hands.

Even the majestic northern heavy warhorse under his feet staggered under such tremendous force and let out a whine as it could not bear the heavy burden.

In this world, there is no distinction between swords and knives, they are all collectively called swords.

The orc swordmaster usually uses a long sword, which is called a single-edged sword by humans, and his sword skills are mainly based on chopping.

The ancient orc swordsman heritage that Leo obtained is also applicable to horse combat. Instead of practicing lance for three years, it is better to directly integrate the orc sword skills into the long crescent moon sword.

The opponent's wolf cavalry's long sword skills were inexplicably familiar to Leo, and he could almost guess the opponent's next move.

In an instant, Leo killed three wolf riders.

His four Rose Knights, in addition to using shortbows to kill nearby Wolf Knights, would also draw out their enchanted longswords to intercept the besieging Wolf Riders for their lord and share the pressure.

The Rose Knights, who came from the three major knightly orders of the empire, also had horse-fighting skills that crushed their peers. They killed calmly and skillfully, revealing an incomparable elegance, like elves leaping on the battlefield.

The unicorn under the Rose Knight is a mid-level magical beast that is more powerful than the wolf.

Although it has a docile temperament, a slender physique, and not very strong, that is relative to other magical beasts of the same rank.

Their spiral horns, more than a foot long, can easily pierce a warg's skull, and they can also cut open the belly of a warg or orc by shaking their heads.

Several powerful extraordinary knights also gathered together and finally delayed the entanglement of the wolf cavalry, allowing half of the human knights to break away from the melee and reorganize the charge.

At the same time, the human ranged troops, relying on the chariots, began to shoot arrows at the orc wolf cavalry, also causing some casualties.

Only the melee infantry were helpless against the wolf cavalry.

A part of the wolf cavalry rushed into the infantry shield formation and killed people wantonly. When the infantry were about to surround them, they instigated their wolves to jump out of the shield formation and sail away.

Their heavy swords and battle axes could break the wooden shields of human infantry with the first strike, and kill the target with the second strike.

Regular infantry are mostly equipped with chain mail, unlike the heavy armored elite who can wear a set of plate armor on the outside.

Even if they blocked the wolf cavalry's hacking blows, the huge blunt force was enough to destroy their fragile bones, flesh and internal organs, leaving fatal internal injuries.

The swords of the regular soldiers and levies were too short to reach the orcs on the wargs in the shield formation. They stabbed the wargs' fur but could not break the defense.

If there were no human knights and long-range projection units, a hundred wolf cavalrymen would be able to toy around with these low-level infantry until they were defeated.

The River Bend infantrymen who followed Leo to join the legion were all elites carefully selected by Uriyan, and were at least level 2.5.

They had an extra thick plate chest armor compared to regular infantry, but they could not wear the plate shoulder armor and plate leg armor of the heavy elite.

Facing the threat of the wolf cavalry, Vicchi shouted orders, asking all melee troops to move closer to the convoy and form a shield formation relying on the trucks.

The convoy limits the range of movement of the wolf riders and also increases the long-range firepower of the wild hunters.

Within thirty meters, the wild hunters' arrows never missed their targets, even the wolf cavalry moving at high speeds could be hit.

Many wolf riders who approached the caravan in an attempt to create chaos were shot down by the heavy arrows of the wild hunters.

Bjorn, standing on the roof of the car, looked like a god of death.

After being promoted to the extraordinary level, his physical fitness continued to improve. Greater strength brought more stable aim, and his archery skills also improved accordingly.

Originally a sharpshooter, he no longer needed to aim within thirty meters. He could easily pull the 200-pound yew longbow, and the heavy arrow, as thick as a finger, was enough to penetrate the sturdy body of an orc.

If the wolf rider didn't run away, he could kill as many orcs as he had arrows.

Some of the Wolf Soldiers who were not injured in vital parts had to leave the area in a panic, with thick arrows that had penetrated into their bones in their arms, shoulders, and thighs, and their Wolf wolves that had lost their masters.

After losing half of the Wolf Riders and twenty Wolfs, the Orc Wolf Riders captain blew the horn angrily and evacuated the battlefield.

He had not intended to fight a tough battle, but instead tried to create chaos and scare off this low-level legion through the charge and killing of the wolf cavalry.

The minimum goal is to cause them to become confused, set up camp and defend on the spot until the main force of the wolf cavalry arrives.

However, the performance of this low-level legion was beyond the expectations of the wolf cavalry captain. The human extraordinary knights in it were too powerful, and the lethality of the long-range troops was also extraordinary.

Even the low-level infantry who were crushed by the other arms had good organization and were able to come up with ways to avoid being killed by the wolf cavalry in a short period of time.

He could only retreat temporarily, but he did not leave. Instead, he sent a messenger back to report the news, while he continued to lead his troops, wandering around the human army, trying every means to delay their progress.

After the battle, the Isenbol Legion suffered greater losses, with at least fifty knights and squires killed by the wolf cavalry.

If it weren't for the obstruction of Leo and other extraordinary knights, and if some wolf cavalrymen bypassed the human cavalry units and rushed into the infantry team, with the dispersed combat power, at least half of the 150 cavalrymen would have been killed or wounded.

The most miserable were the infantry. Just thirty wolf cavalrymen who rushed into the infantry shield formation took the lives of hundreds of low-level infantrymen.

Fortunately, there was a soldier captain named Vicchi in the infantry team. In several battles, he served as the infantry captain of the clearing force formed by Leo.

Not only the River Bend Infantry and the Petukhov Family Infantry, but the rest of the Corner Flag Infantry also subconsciously obeyed his orders.

If it weren't for his decisive command, the infantry units in other corner flags with poor combat quality might have been defeated in this one-sided killing.

This is the gap between local armed forces and regular troops. One hundred wolf cavalrymen, coordinated with one hundred war wolves, dared to actively attack an army of three thousand people.

If the main force of the wolf cavalry arrived, their team would not even be able to escape.

This time, Leo didn't even give the team time to collect the bodies of their companions and hurriedly urged the team to leave.

He held his blood-stained heavy crescent-shaped sword horizontally above the heads of the soldiers' captains, like a giant axe at the execution ground, ready to bring it down at the slightest disagreement.

His brutality had been so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that no corner flag or captain of the soldiers dared to resist.

Legion Commander Arnold was even more eager to have such a powerful subordinate to share the pressure with him.

The troops that set out again could only hastily chop off the heads of the orc soldiers and wolves, and barely strip off the armor of some fallen knights, and hurriedly left at Leo's loud urging.

By the evening, the main force of the wolf cavalry behind finally caught up.

Nearly a thousand wolf cavalrymen rushed over from all over the mountains and approached the hastily evacuating Isenbol Legion.

But Leo was not panicked, and the soldiers of the legion felt relieved.

Behind them was the city wall of Frowald, and beside them was the armored cavalry regiment that had come out of the city to provide support.

Armored cavalry, picture from the internet, no plate armor version found.
