Chapter 682 – Defeat 2

Upon seeing the smoke and dust curling up in front of him and feeling the growing vibrations beneath his feet, Montreat was at first dazed.

What’s going on? The orcs have killed again?
Orc heavy cavalrymen wrapped in heavy armor and armed with lances killed out of the smoke and dust, and galloped towards the Aldo infantrymen.

The orc light cavalry that had retreated in panic before covered their advance well.

Montreat’s face turned pale, and he hurriedly ordered to prepare to meet the enemy.

“Formation! Formation!”

“Form up!”

“Everyone return to your positions!”

The officers shouted and hissed, trying to find their men.

But this was a task that was simply impossible in a short period of time.

The infantry had pursued them for a long distance, and the order that had been there at the beginning was long gone.

It was in this situation that they welcomed the onslaught of the orcish heavy cavalry.

The orc cavalry rushed forward in a tight formation, and the scene was like a hammer hitting into a huge piece of cheese.

Snort!
The first unfortunate person appeared, the sharp riding spear stabbed into the stomach, directly taking the target flying backwards.

Then the second, third, and fourth …… orc heavy cavalry directly rushed out a long corridor of blood and flesh.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Austrian army produced huge casualties.

Orcs are tall and strong, and riding a high horse, covered in heavy armor, holding a mounted rifle, even with the horse is half a ton of weight, so much mass to more than thirty kilometers per hour speed impact over, the force generated by the fragmented infantry can not be resisted.

For a time, the teeth-ache-inducing sound of violent collision and painful screams spread all over the battlefield, and countless people were crashed or trampled into a pile of rotten meat by the orc cavalry.

Many people desperately used their lances to fight against the onslaught of heavy cavalry, but the other party was covered in thick armor even with their horses, and a lance alone could only cause insignificant damage to the other party – and that was if they were lucky enough to stab the other party’s mount or body.

A piece of scattered Aldo infantry simply could not withstand such a powerful impact, most of them were originally temporary recruited cannon fodder, when they fought the windy battle, their morale was high, as if they were unstoppable, but the moment they suffered a setback, their morale directly fell, and they turned into a group of sheep to be slaughtered by others.

“Ah–!”

Sir Montreat, who was in charge of commanding this group of infantrymen, looked insane.

How could he accept that the victory he thought was within his grasp had shattered like a beautiful bubble, and he could only swing his greatsword hard to vent his fury.

Bang!
A huge force came from the helmet, driving Montreat’s entire body to spin and fly up, falling heavily to the ground.

An orc heavy cavalryman had just aimed at him, but fortunately, the terrifying mounted rifle just grazed along the edge of Montreat’s helmet.

The orcs couldn’t return to their horses in time and continued to chase the next target, lying on the ground, Montreat was blinded, trying to get up but only felt that the sky was spinning.

“Sir!”

It didn’t take long for him to be helped up, it was the knights of House Tavares who came to his rescue.

“Where is my army? Where is my army? My army that I need to regroup!”

Montreat shouted, raising his eyes to look around, but all he could see were corpses all over the place.

Farther away were the orc cavalry and human infantry who were still staging chases and escapes.

“My lord get out of here! We’ve already lost, Tom and the others grabbed a few horses, let’s get out of here before the orcs notice.”

“No, I want to protect Her Highness, where is Her Highness?”

But the family knights didn’t allow him to say anything, a few of them put him in a deadlock and fled in a hurry.

On the other side of the battlefield, the left flank of the original Aldo’s army, was originally a cavalry unit made up of knights from all over the Plains of the Black Stone. When the center army in charge of Montreat suffered a counterattack from the orc heavy cavalry, these knights were supposed to go to the rescue.

However, the orc light cavalry gathered like sand and relied on their nimble maneuvering to pester them to death.

The knights fought hard, but could not get rid of them, and could only watch the infantry fall into the abyss of annihilation.

After that, the doom of destruction fell upon the knights.

After collecting the Austrian infantry, the orc heavy cavalry didn’t stop for a moment, but immediately turned their horses and charged towards them.

The knights, who had been dispersed by chasing the infantry, quickly reorganized their formation in the process of shifting and turned into sharp spearheads again.

The Austrian knights, on the other hand, were unable to form a formation due to the attack of the opposing light cavalry.

The scene of the hammer hitting the cheese happened again, the orcish heavy cavalry without any doubt pierced through the knights’ line, yet attacked back again and repeated the impact.

The knights of the Plains of Blackrock were far stronger than the weak infantry, and they inflicted considerable casualties on the orcs, but still failed to save themselves, let alone change the entire dynamic of the battlefield.

When Klein and Lester entered the battlefield at the head of the detouring cavalry, they saw a horrifying sight.

The infantry square located in the center army had already been wiped out, and the knight unit located on the left flank also looked like it was already going to be completely wiped out.

The corpses of the human soldiers were lying all over the place, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

“Where is His Highness?”

One look told him that something big had happened.

“Look, there!”

Klein looked in the direction Lester was pointing, only to see that the royal flag was fluttering there.

And all around there was a dense army of orcs.

“Quickly! Follow me to rescue Her Highness!”

The two of them looked at it with great anxiety and immediately led the cavalry behind them to charge towards the place where the royal flag was.
—
Vaudreuil used all his strength to slash at the opponent with the long sword gifted by General Colum.

With a sound, the long sword that came against him broke with a sound.

“Hahaha, good sword!”

His heart was invigorated, and the one-eye essence on his face shone as if it was spewing out flames.

The long, sharp blade was swung in one swift motion, and the enemy who had lost his weapon was unable to react, and his throat was wiped out by his blade.

Bright red blood splashed out over a long distance, and the knight crashed to the ground unwillingly.

Suddenly shouts of murder came in from the heavens, Wardle raised his eyes and looked around, only to see his side’s cavalry pouring in from all directions.

There were light cavalry with bows and arrows, and there were also heavy cavalry that were raging.

It seemed that the human’s center and left flank units were finished!
Vaudreuil quietly let out a huge sigh of relief and then plunged into battle again.

In order to hold back this elite enemy army, he and his men had suffered most of the casualties.

Even for himself, a shockingly large gash had been cut into his chest.

Luckily, such a sacrifice was worth it, and they finally delayed until the arrival of their side’s main force.

Seeing the human soldiers who were fighting, a wave of respect rose in Vaudreuil’s heart.
