After the figure of the orc appeared on the horizon, the sky above the entire camp seemed to be like an ancient clock that was wound up and ticking constantly.

Based on the height of an ordinary human being, the limit of sight distance on the plain is generally 4.6 kilometers.

So seeing those Frostwolf Cavalry at this distance means that they probably only have about a quarter of an hour left to prepare for the battle.

This was under the premise that the Frostwolf cavalry deliberately conserved their mounts' physical strength and at the same time did not speed up in order not to lose touch with the subsequent large forces.

Since Levi is not in the camp, the united front command of the entire camp is led by the jackal Hoz, and assisted by Fischer, the leader of the battle magic group.

No one else has more experience on the battlefield than Hotz, who has been fighting in the Underdark under the Black Dragon for many years.

But even Hotz encountered such a large-scale 'war' for the first time!

Yes!

This is a war!

Unlike in the Underdark, their main force only consisted of more than 400 gnolls, more than 300 derro dwarves, and more than a dozen ogres.

As for the goblins that usually cost thousands of people, they are just cannon fodder and military rations captured before the war.

Although the core strength they have at this time is almost the same as back then, the other 7,000 militia groups are not cheap goblins. Every time one dies, it is a loss for Zeelandia and will slow down Minas Tirli.

Sri Lanka’s future construction and development speed.

So in order to ensure their safety as much as possible, Hotz directly gave up the advantage of their giant lizard mounts.

Without the protection of their six hundred gnoll inspection team, facing the attack of thousands of orcs, it would definitely be a massacre!

Fortunately, they have combat experience in the defense of beast tides in the Underdark. At the same time, the early warning provided to them by Li Wei through the Zelandia Dream Network bought them a little precious time to prepare for the war.

And the location they chose as their camp was not chosen blindly. This location is at the pass closest to the Griffin Mountain Range and the main trunk of the Sebring River.

The shortest point is less than one mile, which is where they originally planned to build a temporary wall to guard against attacks from the north.

But now they apparently don't have time to build a wall.

There is still no problem in building a temporary fortification.

As soon as they received the early warning, they followed Levi's order, mobilized all steam-powered engineering vehicles and assembled troops, and rushed the rubble piles and remaining earthwork that had been blasted from the mountains today to the pass.

heap!

What confused all the militiamen was that when Hotz ordered them to pile up the earth slope, it was not a parallel horizontal line, but two funnel-shaped walls diagonally inward, and the farther toward the middle, the shorter the earth wall became.

While doing the same job, Herbert was vaguely aware of their thoughts.

'They seem to be consciously attracting the main force of the orcs to attack the center?'

In fact, his guess was correct. This was not even requested by Levi, but the result of a temporary discussion between Hotz and Fischer.

Because if it is built horizontally, a seemingly flawless defense will only lead to an equally indiscriminate high-intensity onslaught from the orcs.

Perhaps their battle-hardened gnolls and gray dwarf infantry regiments could withstand such intensity, but the same could not be said for the militia regiments on the wings.

A quarter of an hour was quickly lost as the militia groups gathered one after another.

The temporary earthwork defenses, which are nearly 800 meters long, are only piled up to an average height of 12 or 3 feet, and due to the certain slope, this means that the orcs can climb up this simple earth wall in just a few steps.

By this time, even ordinary people could vaguely see the figures of the orc legions through the firelight lit on the tower.

And even the militia group that had just come out of the Dark Territory felt an invisible pressure and a sense of powerlessness.

These orcs are so strong!

Most of them have been professionals to one degree or another, and their more than ten years of working as miners have already given them a strong physique.

But there is a kind of despair called racial power suppression!

At least in the militia, not many people have the confidence to compete with the orcs.

These former professionals are like this, let alone ordinary people from Silvermoon City who have little combat experience.

Just when the pale Herbert thought that these militiamen would be used as cannon fodder and pushed to the front row.

Under the light of the night fire, just as the Frostwolf Cavalry were approaching, Hoz raised the chain sword that began to roar in his hand and shouted an order:

"Militia group, raise your spears! Prepare to deal with the wolf riders!

"Archers, free fire!

"The Jackal Inspectorate!

"The gray dwarves warband!

"All ex-warrior professionals, follow me!

"Come forward!

"Hand up the shield!"

So the gray dwarves and gnolls who had dispersed to the battle line took a step forward in order, holding up tower shields that were more than half the height of a man, and quickly erected a steel wall in a row!

Right in the center of this V-shaped defense, the jackal Hotz, who was slightly taller than an orc, slammed a giant shield that was taller than an ordinary human with a wolf head engraved on it onto the ground, causing the ground to faintly shake.

It made a low trembling sound.

On his left and right sides, the shield swordsman Sgard, the tauren warrior Renn, the orc swordsman Droru, the alpine barbarian berserker Pantos, and the druid Cenarion who turned into a giant bear were all represented by Hotz.

The arrows are arranged in an inverted V shape.

It was only at this moment that Herbert and the immigrants from Silvermoon City accepted a simply unbelievable fact.

The jackals who were supposed to be supervising the battle group were actually in the front row?

But soon he no longer had time to think about this.

Because the archers and mages have already begun to fight those wolf riders!

A sharp whooshing sound broke through the air.

An unlucky Zeelandian militiaman on the tower was shot straight through by a wooden javelin on the spot. The huge kinetic energy pushed him to knock down the wooden fence, and he fell from the height with a scream.

At the same time, the cloaked archers also began to fight back.

Herbert observed for a while and finally understood why these archers did not choose to shoot.

There are not many of them, but their archery skills are simply terrifying.

Often when an arrow is shot, it hits either the frost wolf's eye or the throat of the orc cavalry.

While these wolf riders were charging, one after another, frost wolves fell and rolled away silently, often knocking over one or two riders behind them.

Herbert just wondered how they could target the enemy in such light.

Isn’t it possible that everyone has a dark vision solidified?

In fact, he guessed right. Although these drow are not all masters of bows and arrows, most of them are outstanding members of the matriarch family of Gelthorne. How could they not know how to use bows and arrows?

And just when the Wolf Cavalry was finally approaching Zelandia's defense line, Fisher and his group finally took action.

Mages have always selectively memorized spells based on their needs.

In order to meet the needs of this infrastructure construction, except for some life-saving protective spells, basically all of their spell slots were used to memorize [Fossils to Mud] and [Mud to Stone].

Therefore, the few spell slots they have left are extremely important and must play a decisive role as much as possible!

And this time has finally arrived.

They first strengthened the temporary earth slope with the backup "Turn Mud into Stone" technique.

Then he cast a classic spell that has been forgotten by many people.

【Grease Technique】*74!

This is an extremely simple trick. With Zelandia's unremitting efforts to popularize arcane teaching, it is one of the few tricks that can directly construct a spell model through arcane magic without passing through the spell slots of the magic network!

But at this moment, this extremely simple trick has created a bloody and cruel death line!

The wolf cavalry in the front row was hit directly, and the frost wolves slid down one after another with a whimper. In addition to the huge weight of the orcs, they almost touched the ground with a teeth-piercing muffled sound.

They were either trampled to pieces by the wolf riders behind them or tripped their compatriots, forming a domino collapse of death.

A conservative estimate is that this greasy technique alone destroyed at least a quarter of the Shadow Moon Clan's 3,000 wolf riders!

It's a pity that the orcs are not riding war horses, but frost wolves.

When these alert and cunning creatures saw their fellow creatures slipping down in front of them, they immediately jumped up with all their strength and crossed the line of death as if they were flying.

After crossing thousands of mountains and miles, we finally meet you and me with blood and fire!

"lk'targar!"

The orc warriors riding on the wolf waved their long knives one after another and let out a thundering roar in mid-air!

And Hoz’s deafening wild roar also echoed on the battlefield:

“perandglry!

"For Zelandia!

"For Minas Tirith!"

"The Zeelandian Militia obey orders!

"Raise the gun!
Chapter completed!
