Chapter 1273 The Invisible Greenskin

The wild cavalry crosses the cracks in the rugged mountains, seeming to be galloping wildly in the clouds and mist. Their proud posture is only wearing a symbolic scale armor, and the red cloak moves with the wind like burning branches and leaves, separating themselves from the enemy. bring destruction together.

Deer Riders...Aslay's unique weird customs are something Kuran can't understand.

According to the rules of war, easy replenishment and rapid prototyping are the first choices. According to the Wild Cavalry's occasional revelations, the horned spirit deer whose skin shines with magic light under their bodies are the manifestation of the souls of their ancestors in the forest.

Every wild horseman can only find the spirit deer in his dream by wandering around Athel Loren for a long time and receiving the guidance of Kunos.

In Kuran's eyes, it is a meaningless ritual. Druchi's war rules are simple, efficiency, cruelty and ruthlessness. If the cold lizard knights cannot form a large-scale industrial chain, the Witch King will considerately deal with the lack of efficiency. The family, replace some suitable candidates until the eternal hungry war needs are met.

However, let’s just make do with it, at least the riding skills of these green springtails are pretty good...

Kuran thought in his mind that the Aslay Guard mainly consisted of two types, the elite Wild Forest Rangers and the Wild Cavalry. As for the Eternal Guards holding green leaf spears, the Phoenix King said that there was no need for an honor guard.

Wild cavalrymen wearing antler masks came running from the mountains with a sharp spear. The horned animals moved their limbs with graceful steps like a dance, and every move looked like a smart and elegant butterfly at night.

"No trace of the greenskins has been detected yet. There are traces of night goblin activity in the corner ahead. Lidhador is already dealing with it."

The number of Wildwood Rangers is very small. These elite warriors who were supposed to guard the ferocious spirits in Athel Loren were transferred to the royal court. While enjoying the best equipment and treatment, they were responsible for making up for the shortcomings of the guards' lack of complex terrain combat.

Although Cohir thinks this is completely unnecessary, the White Lion Guards are better at mountain warfare than anyone else... But it turns out that some races are really good at digging holes.

Kuran looked at the far side of the canyon. This was a passage leading to the branch route of Karak Dreadnaught. If it could be successfully opened, the greenskin's line could be attacked from the flank.

From a common sense perspective, this is a necessary route that needs to be protected by heavy troops, but no one can guarantee whether the greenskins will follow common sense.

Above the winding canyon, there is an extremely steep and dangerous environment. The gravel-strewn environment makes people doubt whether the geological structure is stable. Several large rocks may fall overhead at any time, giving the lucky person a small opening in his head.

"It's above the canyon."

Kuran repeated that he didn't quite trust Asrai...nor Assur, thinking that these cousins ​​always omitted something when presenting information.

"Nothing strange." The Wild Cavalry repeated the same, answering Kuran's question in a routine manner. The Aslay Guards stationed in the royal court lacked heavyweights, resulting in a somewhat low voice.

Fortunately, Aslay didn't like communicating with outsiders. With the Phoenix King's guarantee, except for routine tasks, he was completely on duty in a clock-in style.

Kuran nodded to show that he understood, and waved the wild cavalry to be on standby on the flanks at any time. Although the number of sixty cavalry was not large, they could at least kill the greenskins one against ten. If the timing was good, it would be even more effective.

The captain of the Black Guard, who was responsible for the support, looked at the twin moons hanging high in the sky, silently waiting for the opportunity to come.

The movements of the elves are very secretive, and the military quality of the royal guards is impeccable. Even the march of hundreds of people is like ghosts.

But there may be some minor problems for the humans who join the battle. At least Kuran can see that the regiment sent by Kurt is by no means an elite. At best, it is only the level of the militia responsible for defending the town all year round. The time and movement consumed by marching at night, It will be more serious than imagined.

After the time arrived in the middle of the night, the Phoenix King Guards fully demonstrated what they are like as silent sentinels. Apart from breathing and changing positions, their movements in the canyon were as quiet as night owls.

And a flash of fire let Kuran know that the time was coming soon.

He raised his hand to give instructions to his subordinates who were scattered everywhere, hiding his figure.

After a while, a knight from the inner ring of Rick's Guards holding a torch looked blankly at the elf guard who only had one.

I couldn't help but murmur in my heart, is the elf really so awesome that he opened up the canyon without making any movement?

Behind the knights in the inner ring were the halberdiers, the backbone of the imperial provincial army. Their shining breastplates reflected the dim light of the torches. Their marching pace was loud and clear, showing the majesty of the emperor in every move.

When crossbowmen, musketeers, swordsmen, and a group of only fifty giant swordsmen appeared, holding giant weapons that could cut a war horse in half, there was even more of a chilling atmosphere in the canyon.

"Humans, your inefficiency has always surprised me. Your life span is so short, but you don't know how to cherish the preciousness of time..."

The knight in the inner circle was about to retort. No commander in his right mind would think of passing through the canyon at night. Once attacked and thrown into chaos, it would be very easy for the army to collapse, leading to the immediate collapse of the entire operation.

But as he spoke, Kuran pointed his halberd at the knight... behind.

"Perhaps you can consider providing slaves to Nagaryth every year and hiring elite... shadow troops to serve as your reconnaissance scouts."

These ironic words only made the knight in the inner circle feel tense, and he immediately turned around and looked towards the valley behind.

In the originally silent valley, the sound of dense footsteps vaguely emerged in the forest, and the echo of saliva splashing on the ground was so vague, like mud sticking to the surface of the body.

"Meet the enemy!"

The roar of the inner ring knights aroused a fierce reaction from the provincial soldiers. The well-trained soldiers took a posture to welcome the ambush. Rows of halberd soldiers stood in an orderly manner outside the formation, interspersed with swordsmen to form a multi-level defense network.

The crossbowmen raised their deadly weapons, held their fingers on the triggers, and meticulously aimed at the positions where the enemy might appear.

The elite giant swordsmen gathered beside the inner ring knights. With just one order, they could charge forward and tear apart the enemy's defense line.

The humans did not wait too long. Hundreds of scarlet eyes soon flashed in the forests around the valley, and the unique stench of goblins and the smell of wolves spread in the air.

The inner circle knight has taken out his sword and shield, staring at the goblins on both sides of the valley with a stern look, muttering: "How is this possible... the hunters didn't notice it at all."

"I am better at executing the offender immediately than holding him accountable on the spot... I am glad that the greenskin saved me some energy, hehe."

Kulan's smile, coupled with the strange roller chariot that appeared with the goblin wolf riders, made the inner circle knight realize that he would face a tough battle next. (End of this chapter)
