Alien Knights

"A bunch of bastards! A bunch of bastards!" Cumberland, who was on horseback, was furious and led the Muxi Knights all the way into the forest: "When I catch up with them, I will cut off all their legs. , let these arrogant idiots stay in bed for the rest of their lives!”

"Grand Commander! We are approaching the forest!"

The adjutant's words made Cumberland calm down a little, and the latter used a beehive to order to his knights: "Everyone is ready to dismount! Advance with shields raised!"

The Valkyries hovered above the knights, and the griffins looked at the smoke in the forest in the distance and screamed excitedly.

Cumberland dismounted, pulled out the long sword from the horse's belly, took off the kite-shaped shield, and said to the adjutant: "Tell those stupid women in the sky to shut up those long-haired beasts!" Yes, without my order, you are not allowed to lower your altitude to participate in the battle!"

The adjutant lifted up the visor of his helmet, opened his arms, and stood in front of Cumberland: "Grand Commander! You are the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, and you should not put yourself in danger!"

Cumberland kicked the adjutant in the stomach and yelled, "Get out of here!"

Looking at the adjutant who fell to the ground, Cumberland strode towards the forest and said in a voice that only he could hear: "If the situation becomes serious and out of control, how should I explain to His Majesty..."

According to the defense information provided by the scouts, the knights followed the pre-planned route and set off towards the nearest small outpost of the enemy.

Ten minutes later, Ackerman chased after him with 500 Crusaders.

As the commander of the Crusaders, Ackerman walked up to Cumberland with a look of shame on his face and hesitated to speak.

Cumberland walked past Ackerman and said in a deep voice: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later."

The Knights and Crusaders gathered together, with a strength of more than a thousand men.

Due to the addition of troops who were proficient in reconnaissance, the troops moved much faster and quickly arrived at the first post.

There, the battle had been over for a long time.

Broken human limbs were scattered everywhere, and intestines still dripping with blood could be seen even on the treetops; the tent was torn into rags by the huge force and fell scattered around the sentry; the wooden lookout The tower was toppled from the bottom and fell onto the forest floor.

Ackerman took several Crusader scouts and walked around the battlefield, then returned to Cumberland and whispered: "We only saw the corpses of the enemy soldiers, but not the remains of our soldiers."

Cumberland pointed at the ground angrily and said: "That group of orcs took advantage of the enemy's lunch break to launch a surprise attack. Look at these marks on the ground. They first rushed out of the forest and knocked down the arrow tower of the sentry. Then he rushed towards the campfire and engaged in hand-to-hand combat before the enemy had a chance to fire."

Ackerman looked at Cumberland's face and asked carefully and tentatively: "So, they won a perfect victory?"

"Perfect ass!" Cumberland pointed the blade of his sword at a string of horse hoof prints in the north of the camp and roared: "These idiots only want to kill the enemy, but they have forgotten even the most basic way of blocking the exit! The enemy! The army has two cavalry, no, three cavalry took advantage of the gap in the battle to escape from here on horseback!"

"You can think with your toes that these three fish that slipped through the net must have gone to warn the surrounding enemy forces!"

Cumberland punched the wooden stake next to him: "The most troublesome thing is that if those brainless orcs suffered from musketry here and suffered some casualties, maybe they would evaluate the enemy's strength. , consider whether to withdraw troops..."

"However, the one-sided massacre made them proud and arrogant. They believed that the enemy was nothing more than this. The orcs who were not satisfied with a small victory would definitely focus on more conspicuous targets around them and use their so-called power to , to get bullshit honors!”

Ackerman said with a pale face: "Then you mean...the orcs will continue to march?"

"Let the enemy's cavalry go, continue to advance without reinforcements, lack the minimum vigilance and carefulness towards the enemy, and be blinded by arrogance!" Cumberland clenched the sword in his hand and shouted: "What if If we fail to respond to this group of orcs as soon as possible, I swear, what awaits them will be a disastrous outcome."

Ackerman opened his eyes wide, turned around and asked loudly behind him: "Except for those small sentries, in which direction is the nearest enemy camp from here?"

Randall, who followed him to send troops, took out the sheepskin map he carried with him and pointed to the hilly area in the northeast: "Deerqiu Camp, there is a large enemy military camp, 3,700 meters away from here, where enemy troops are stationed. About 2,200 people..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the thundering sound of gunfire came from the northeast, and thick smoke filled the sky again.

Cumberland raised his shield, struck the shield with the back of his sword, and loudly ordered: "Everyone, maintain the battle line and march to the northeast."

When the Muxi Knights and the Crusaders rushed to Deer Hill on the map, a brutal battle scene unfolded before their eyes.

The simple stone wall of the enemy camp has been breached by the orc army. The orcs only need to advance another hundred meters to rush into the center of the enemy camp. However, the three bunkers in the shape of a Chinese character, forming horns with each other, used muskets and artillery to form a tight fire network, firmly blocking the fearless orc army fifty meters away.

An orc captain wearing iron armor, holding a flail and a tower shield, shouted the name of the dragon god loudly, while slowly approaching with six tribesmen.

The flames from the musket muzzle on the bunker continued to shoot out lead bullets the size of pigeon eggs at the invading orcs.

The bullets hit the tower shield, emitting sparks like fireworks, and the crashing sound was as dense and harsh as the sound of water drops on a rainy day.

Enduring the increasing number of bullet holes in his body, the orc captain used his tower shield to protect his vitals, letting the blood flow along his body and slowly to the ground, converging into a bloody trail behind him.

"Dragon God's blessing!" With the support of his companions, the orc captain tried his best to stabilize his body and approached step by step.

One meter, two meters, five meters, ten meters...

The orc captain, who was covered in blood, and the six tribesmen who were also covered in injuries, finally reached 20 meters in front of the bunker. He saw that he could jump into the trench in front of him as long as he walked a few meters further.

In the trapezoidal gap on the front of the bunker, a white light flashed, and the sound of earth-shaking explosions resounded throughout the battlefield.

The enemy lit the fuse of the shotgun, and countless iron fragments were fired from the muzzle, like a steel storm, instantly sweeping through the entire space twenty meters in front of the bunker.

The iron piece with huge kinetic energy roared through the air, pierced the tower shield, and directly penetrated the head of the orc captain without losing its force.

The latter wanted to reach out and pull out the iron plate on his head. The huge pain coming from his brain made him unable to hold on anymore. The tower shield and the flail slipped to the ground, and the whole person fell to the ground like a hill.

The six orcs who were hiding behind him and lost cover wanted to take up weapons and rush into the bunker, but were shot directly in front of the formation by a burst of musketry.

Such tragedies happened again and again on the battlefield, and the orc army had been reduced by almost half.

Looking at the corpses of orcs on the ground in front of the bunker, Cumberland slowly lowered the visor on his helmet, protected his face and chest with his shield, took a deep breath, and used the hive to order all the knights: "Knights of Muxi , attack!”
