Chapter 1468: Chapter 856: The Gunfire under the Dragon’s Lair (Part 1)_1 Chapter 1468: Chapter 856: The Gunfire under the Dragon’s Lair (Part 1)_1 The increasingly intense trembling of the earth did not bewilder the Half-Orc Leader for long, as his experienced self quickly discovered the cause.
It was the sound of a cavalry group charging.
“To the right, the scale of a legion, and this leader only brought 6,000 Jumping Dragon Cavalry, deployed on both wings… So, there is a cavalry legion launching an attack on this leader?”
The Half-Orc Leader’s murky eyes shifted, and he began to scrutinize the current situation.
This was the Outer Region, surrounded by many scattered Half-Orc scouts, completely ruling out the possibility of the opponent’s reinforcents arriving.
Moreover, the sudden appearance of those Golem Puppets on the city wall earlier made the result undoubtedly very clear. This must be the despicable Lord of Cyan City causing trouble.
“Trying to shake the leader’s 100,000-strong army with just a re 10,000 cavalry is truly an overestimation of one’s capabilities.”
The disdainful Half-Orc Leader sneered coldly, then conveyed his orders to a nearby ssenger who had already connected to a magical communication.
First, the fierce attack on the Dragon’s Lair City Wall would not only be maintained but also intensified, so that the green-skinned creatures on the wall could not coordinate the attack on the ground.
Secondly, one legion each from the vanguard, central army, and rearguard would quickly move to the right wing and join forces with the original legion responsible for the right wing to face the enemy.
Lastly, 6,000 Jumping Dragon Cavalry would flank the enemy cavalry legion from both left and right sides, waiting until the enemy’s speed was weakened before launching a charge from both sides to deliver a fatal blow to these reckless fools.
Upon receiving the Half-Orc Leader’s command, the continuous Half-Orc formation responded extrely quickly, like a finely-tuned war machine, and imdiately started operating.
Soon, tal long spears nearly three ters long extended from the gaps between the Half-Orc Heavy Infantry who had firmly planted their shields into the ground, forming an impeccable defensive formation.
At the sa ti, the Half-Orc Shamans quietly used their most proficient Swamp Magic, making the area in front of the formation extrely muddy.
Although the entire area did not form a real swamp due to the hurried casting, the muddy ground was enough to significantly reduce the speed of the attacking cavalry, depriving them of their high-speed charging ability.
By then, the cavalry without the ability to charge would not be much different from the Frost Sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
“Heh, despicable human clan, let this leader teach you what real war is.”
As the Half-Orc Leader watched his Jumping Dragon Cavalry disappear into the night, his coarse face showed a sneer with an added hint of contempt, saying ominously, “This leader said, you will die tonight!”
As the Half-Orc Leader’s voice fell, that hidden cavalry legion was already closing in on the Half-Orcs’ quickly ford defensive line, practically within reach.
Seeing this, the scornful smile on the Half-Orc Leader’s face beca increasingly intense, waiting for the mont when the enemy charged into the swamp trap, ensuring their defeat.
“Damn, the Half-Orcs must have set up a swamp trap. Lord’s cavalry legion is in danger!”
On the anxious city wall, Roscoe looked at the enemy’s textbook-like rapid change in formation and involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He was all too familiar with the strength of these Half-Orcs, each one an experienced veteran who had co through blood and fire.
With full preparation, 10,000 cavalry, let alone 20,000, might not be enough to cause serious damage to these Half-Orcs!
And once the Lord suffered heavy losses, Dragon’s Lair city and even the entire region would surely be on the brink of collapse!
At this thought, beads of sweat the size of soybeans began to drip uncontrollably from Roscoe’s dark green forehead.
It seed as if he could already see the cavalryn, one by one, falling beneath the sinister and arrogant laughter of the Half-Orc soldiers.
However, just as the Goblin King was about to contact Leo Ray.
He had already received Leo Ray’s calm and powerful voice, “It’s fine, just follow the plan.”
After Leo Ray finished speaking, the cavalry legion that attacked the Half-Orc formation from the right flank beca gradually clearer under the moonlight.
As the Half-Orc Leader had guessed, this was indeed a rapidly approaching cavalry legion, vast and imposing, with a very remarkable montum.
However, what was puzzling was that this cavalry legion did not adopt the usual wedge formation, but an X-shaped charge formation instead.
Such a relatively loose formation was obviously not suitable for a cavalry charge.
“The defensive formation is well-placed, but who says I’m going for a direct charge?”
The hidden Leo Ray smiled faintly, quietly observing the developnt of the situation.
On the murderous battlefield, just as the cavalry legion was about to approach the swamp trap, it suddenly turned and made a beeline for the Half-Orc Jumping Dragon Cavalry attempting to flank it from one side.
“So, the target is actually this leader’s jumping Dragon Cavalry?”
Sensing the sudden change on the battlefield, the Half-Orc Leader was montarily stunned before his murderous smile surfaced on his coarse face again.
The cavalry under his command all rode Tier 1 Peak Level Swamp Jumping Dragons.
These agile Demon Beasts, which were much larger and stronger than ordinary horses, had combat prowess far beyond that of ordinary cavalry, even if they were summoned Golem Puppets.
Taking a step back, even if the opponent disregarded losses and forcefully consud one of the two Jumping Dragon Cavalry forces flanking from both sides, the other force would still co from behind and completely wipe them out.
